I was a data scientist with three years of experience, feeling stuck in my full-time role and unsure about stepping into the competitive job market. Joining Stefan’s coaching program turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It introduced me to the idea of freelancing through contract work and gave me a clear roadmap to get there. The program walked me through actionable steps and connected me with a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Most importantly, it helped me identify and break through the mental barriers holding me back from achieving my goals. Thanks to Freedom Freelancing, I landed my first full-time contract role in under three months—a milestone that completely changed how I see my career. It’s given me the freedom and flexibility I didn’t think was possible before. Honestly, there’s no going back now. If you’re considering Stefan’s program, I can’t recommend it enough. The course is designed in a way that genuinely helps you succeed if you put in the effort. I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first—asking for help and investing in myself felt uncomfortable. But looking back, I see it as one of the most important risks I’ve ever taken to take control of my life. I learned so much, and I’m confident you will too. Cheers and good luck! Faraz

Karim
Freelance Data Analyst
Video transcript: Hi, everyone. My name is Karim Samuri. I'm a full time student and a part time freelancer, currently recording this testimonial for Stefan. I actually met Stefan approximately two years ago. I met him through his girlfriend, and I was very interested in what it would take for me to become a freelancer. So that's why I reached out and he took some time out of his day to explain to me what he did in his career. And during that time, I actually learned quite a lot from Stefan. And one of the most important lessons that he taught me is that sometimes in life you have to take calculated risks. And one of the examples that he gave me of his personal life is that he quit his very stable traineeship at an enterprise to pursue a short term project at the bank. And even the bank told him, you know what, Stefan? Maybe you should reconsider, because this was only for three months. But he said, you know what? Screw it. I believe in myself. I know what I'm capable of. I'm going full force. And he became successful. And in that sense, I think it's also comfortable for me to say that you can take a calculated risk on Stefan because he knows the ins and outs, what it will take for you to become a freelance data analyst, and he will teach you exactly what it will take. So, yeah, that was my testimonial. Have a nice day, everyone. Goodbye.

First Freelance Contract
Hey guys, I'm excited to announce that I've landed my first freelance contract! I'll be creating a chatbot for a subcontractor of the government to interact with specific government documents. This is a three-month project with relatively low compensation, but it's crucial for me to prove myself as a freelancer. If successful, they'll strive to secure a larger project for me in the future. Really happy about this milestone!

I used to work as a Data Analyst Consultant earning around $65K. Because of Stefan’s help I landed a contracting job within one month. This multiplied my income by 2,5X while working a day less per week. This enabled me to take a sabbatical and travel South-America with my fiancee. Also, it provides more freedom to choose when and how I work.

Although I had experience in AI, automation, and SaaS, I struggled with client acquisition and business strategy.

The community and mentorship. Surrounding myself with like-minded, ambitious freelancers pushed me to grow faster than I ever could alone.

My name is Noud, 24 years old and a Data Scientist graduate. With my experiences from different (school) projects and internships, I was immediately included in the community. I did some backpacking during my studies and I knew that traveling was my passion and something I wanted to do for a long time before starting a career. Wanting to become a digital nomad, I stumbled upon Stefan's videos on YouTube and knew he was the person who could guide me further. Joining Freedom Freelancing was the next logical step. Now, more than 4 months later, I am starting my first project as a freelancer. Freelancing gives me the benefits of control over my time and how I work. Freedom Freelancing provided a space for all my questions as a beginning freelancer and provided me with the tools to land my first freelance job. Valentin offered valuable insights on how to prepare job applications and handle communication effectively, while Stefan helped me tremendously in optimizing my LinkedIn and X. It has now become a platform to share experiences and learn from each other. Two conversations every week with two very accessible coaches and one with the community itself.

I’m Valerie Madojemu, I was a Tableau consultant working in a full-time role before joining. Freedom Freelancing has helped me understand I am in control of my career, and not to be afraid of ambition. The best thing about Freedom Freelancing is being given a blueprint to succeed. I don’t have to waste time or energy second-guessing if I am on the right track. It’s normal to have doubts about joining a mastermind and investing in yourself. I had these doubts too. But it would have taken me so much longer to get to where I am today without the mastermind.

First contract signed at 130 EUR/h!
Hi Friends, some updates. I now signed my first freelance contract (4-month) as marketing data science consultant with a company in Berlin, Germany. Globally remote is possible. 130 EUR/h, so roughly 20k per month. Almost 4x as much money as in my previous job. Still feels unreal. Continue to post on LinkedIn and have written a few posts in the past with 100+ likes, + 20k impressions. Recruiters from all over the world frequently contact me. Next step: Entrepreneurship with multiple income streams. Freedom!

Freelance Fullstack Developer

I am a Norwegian software developer. I specialize in frontend web development. I got my bachelor's in informatics in 2019 and have been working several different web development jobs in Oslo. Through the program with Stefan and the crew, I have gotten advice, know-how, and the occasional push to go and take action. What sets a coach apart from just a course is the ability for timely advice. In Stefan, you will find a guy who has walked this path before and now with several others. He can recognize what faze you are in and help spot potential struggle points and the next most important step. For me, the best aspect of Freedom Freelancing has been the community aspect: to have a coach and a few peers with whom I can share my downs and my wins. When others struggle you know you are not alone in that, and when others win, that of course spreads inspiration and enthusiasm!
