Finesse your marketing mindset, learn about advertising, finding clients, and sales!
PLUS BONUSES
What if every day you could wake up,
roll out of bed, and, when you’re ready to work, take your...

hot cup of coffee...
tea...
green smoothie...
hot fudge sundae...
over to an organized workspace with all of your favorite things.
Everything you need is organized and easy to find.

And it’s only steps away.  

You’ve left break rooms and sterile office buildings behind. 
 You take breaks at your favorite...
overlooking your favorite city scene,
or on your back deck with a good book.

You’re working every day where you want and when you want
in a business that you designed yourself.

On your own terms. 
You can have that...
and it can be sooner than you think.
We DO NOT want that for you.
Let's say NO to wasted investments, rabbit trails, or teary nights wondering what on Earth made you decide to start a business.
This is WHAT you can have. We have it ourselves {more on us later}, and have helped many women just like you...accomplish the same.
----------- TRAINING OVERVIEW -----------
SKILLS, MARKETING, TRAINING, and CONNECTIONS are essential to creating and sustaining a business.
We want to help you uplevel your skills so you can wow clients with your expert knowledge and charge what you're worth.
You’ll learn the basics of marketing, ways to find clients, basic sales funnel design, and how to sell without feeling sleazy.
Hi, We’re Julie Stoian and Madelaine Corke, founders of the 
Create Your Laptop Life Network. 
Our passion is helping women and men build profitable freelance businesses that work around your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Time and again we hear from our members that learning skills and finding clients were all they focused on at first (and this is where lots of programs focus as well), but then quickly realized just how much mindset, time management, and expectations play a role in whether or not you can successfully make your business last.

Even when you have acquired skills to market, built your website, and even landed a few clients….

  • Comparison-itis
  • Imposter syndrome
  • Unrealistic expectations for yourself and clients
  • The freelance emotional rollercoaster
  • Family, spouse, and kid obligations and expectations
  • Inefficient lifestyle habits
  • Poor self-worth
...they threaten to derail every success. The more you grow, the more obvious these problems become, and it’s not too dramatic to say that the above list can force you out of your business as fast as you got in.
If your business isn’t started yet, getting these problems out of the way before you start, is like clearing a plot of land full of boulders so you can place your house’s foundation. You’ll be saving yourself a heap of trouble down the line.
Here’s why….
Businesses aren’t built in a vacuum.
If you have a family or a 9-5 job, you don’t have the luxury of a 40 hour work week...
You need to learn how to manage your time and hold onto your sanity even when you’re trying to develop your freelance career while still holding your 9-5 job or watching a gaggle of children.
Anxiety, self-doubt, and fear don’t go away once you strike out on your own. If you’re prone to these emotions in life, they won’t go away in business...
Freelance work is a roller coaster of emotions. Learning how to set realistic expectations helps keep the lows not so low.
Family and friends aren’t always the biggest cheerleaders...
In fact, they can be the opposite. “What are you doing?” “Isn’t this just an Internet scam?” “Why do you have to be so selfish? Just get a 9-5 like everyone else.” “You’re so ungrateful. Most people would kill for a job.” How do you hang on to your fortitude when people don’t understand what you do or why you’re doing it?
Freelance work can set you up to be a slave to clients...
Especially if you’re coming from an employee mindset, once you start assisting others virtually, it’s easy to fall into a relational dynamic with a client that makes you feel like you have to earn your position, answer their every whim, and fear their wrath (because of a bad review).
There are all kinds of new soft skills you’ll need that you’ve never used in a 9-5...
Like, how to stand up for yourself respectfully in negotiations and in communications without sacrificing or over-delivering, or how to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of one two hour block of time.
We know firsthand the sabotaging effects our mindset and habits can have on business. 
We’ve seen it happen to us as individuals and we’ve seen it time and again in our members. 
But there’s good news! 
Whether you’re on your first client or your 50th, taking time to remove these obstacles ensures that you’re setting yourself up for long term stability.
Reflect, for a minute, on why YOU chose to build your freelance career …
… for your children or family?
… for the chance to be your own boss?
… for the flexibility to set your own hours and schedule?
… because of your passion?
Whatever your reasons for starting your business, there are unique considerations that freelancers deal with every day that most regular job holders don’t have to face.
We want to help you….
  • Navigate the complexity of being your own boss yet having clients you “work for”
  • Figure out how to structure your time and your office so that you’re productive and efficient
  • Crush self-doubts that seem to insist on riding shotgun while we work on closing sales
  • Recognize when your expectations are all out of whack because you are following “gurus” who only show you their highlight reel
  • Set guidelines to navigate the highs and the lows so you’re not whiplashed every other day
