A wee reminder for the woman looking at everyone else flying ahead while she feels like she is crawling.

You are not lazy and you have not missed your chance.

You may simply be building while carrying children, work, grief, hormones, bills and a hundred invisible jobs.

Give yourself credit for still being here. Then choose one thing you can move forward today.

If you are ready to stop watching everyone else and start building your own freelance business, join me inside The Modern Freelancer Method: https://charlene-johnston.mykajabi.com/the-modern-freelancer-method-sales-page

MONDAY MINDSET 🤍
How many times have you nearly posted something… then deleted it because you worried about what people would think?

Am I posting too much?
Am I annoying people?
Do I look desperate?
Is this a bit cringe?

But here’s what I had to remind myself:
The people I’m worried about judging me aren’t going to pay my bills or build my business for me.

And I can’t expect people to buy from me if I’m too embarrassed to tell them what I’m selling.

So post the offer.
Send the email.
Talk to the camera.
Share what you’re good at.
Tell people how you can help them.

Will you sometimes post something and immediately think, oh God, why did I do that? 😂
Probably.

But I’d rather be seen trying than sit quietly with all this experience and wonder why nobody is booking.
And maybe you needed that reminder today too.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, a skill or a hobby that could become a real income… what are you actually waiting for?

Come and work with me for six weeks inside The Modern Freelancer Method and let’s turn it into a business you’re proud to talk about.

This is for the woman running here, there and EVERYWHERE… 👀

Clients. Zoom calls. School runs. Washing. Shopping. Cleaning.

You know one of those balls is eventually going to drop.

But you’ve also got a hobby or skill that you just know could become something bigger.💥 Yesssss girl, yesss!

Something that pays you.
Something that’s yours.
A profitable business without someone else deciding what you can earn.

Come and work with me for six weeks inside my signature programme, The Modern Freelancer Method and let’s make it real.

Stop thinking about it. Start building it.

Do you ever feel like you’re running here, there and everywhere… but somehow still feel like you’re falling behind?

👉 Seeing clients.
👉 Zoom calls.
👉 School runs.
👉 Washing.
👉 Shopping.
👉 Cleaning the house.
👉 Replying to messages.
👉 Posting content.
👉 Trying to find new clients.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, attempting to run an actual business.

There are only so many balls one woman can keep in the air.

Eventually, one of them is going to drop.⚠️

And it’s usually your own needs, your rest or the plans you had for growing your business.

That doesn’t mean you’re lazy, disorganised or “not cut out for it”.

It usually means you’re trying to do too much without a clear structure, saying yes to everything, offering too many services and building a business that constantly needs you to be everywhere.

Freelancing should give you more control over your life, not leave you feeling like you’ve created another full-time job with no boundaries.

Inside The Modern Freelancer Method, I’ll work with you personally for six weeks to help you build a freelance business that fits around your real life.

We’ll get clear on:

🤍 What you want to offer
🤍 Who you want to work with
🤍 What to charge
🤍 How to attract and sign clients
🤍 How to create boundaries and a way of working that doesn’t drain you

You don’t need to keep figuring it all out while spinning another ten plates.

If you’re ready to build a business that gives you income, independence and more control over your time, click this link and secure your place now.

Let’s spend the next six weeks getting this business out of your head and properly into motion. 🤍

One bad season in business does not make you a failure.

It can make you stronger. Wiser. More resilient. And, in time, far more successful, if you let it teach you what you needed to learn.

Be humbled by it.
Be sad about it.
Be absolutely gutted if you need to be.

But then pick yourself back up.

Take every lesson, every mistake and every bit of knowledge you fought hard to gain, and try again.

You’re not starting from scratch. You’re starting again with experience.

That’s exactly what I’ve had to do this year. And it’s also why I created The Modern Freelancer Method: a six-week programme for women who are ready to build their own freelance social media business, create an income of their own and have me beside them while they do it.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to begin again, this is it.

I didn’t start my business because I was full of confidence and had some big clever plan.

I started it during the hardest time of my life. I needed something that was mine. Something I could build around being a mum and around a life that had completely changed.

There were no perfect systems. I didn’t have everything figured out. I just knew I had skills, I wanted more control over my life and I was willing to learn as I went.

That decision went on to change so much for me.
It gave me an income, a career, awards I never imagined winning and the freedom to work around my family. It gave me proof that even when life doesn’t go the way you thought it would, you can still build something really good from where you are.

That is a huge part of why I want to teach other women how to do this now.

Not because freelancing is an easy route or a quick fix. It isn’t.

But because having skills you can earn from gives you choices. And as a woman and a mum, having choices means everything.

I’m opening the first round of The Modern Freelancer Method, where I’ll spend six weeks helping a small group of women build their own freelance social media business properly.

If you’ve been wondering if you could do this too, I would love to have you be a part of this with me 🤍

Creating the content is rarely the hardest part.

It’s knowing what to say, what your audience actually needs to hear and how any of it connects back to your business.

After years of working in social media, here’s what I know:

You don’t need another complicated content plan.
You don’t need to post every single day.
And you definitely don’t need to wait until everything looks perfect.

You need clear ideas, a simple strategy and the confidence to get on with it, even when you don’t feel completely ready.

That’s exactly what we can work through during my 60-Minute Business & AI Session

We’ll look at where you are now, what’s keeping you stuck and how AI can help you market your business in a way that saves time without sounding like everyone else online.

You’ll leave with a clear one-page plan, your next 30 days mapped out and practical AI tools you can start using straight away.

Imposter syndrome doesn't mean you're not qualified.
It means you care.

But here's what nobody says out loud:

The woman who's been through the hard stuff, the setbacks, the rebuilds, the moments where she had to dig deep and keep going, they have something a 15-year-old with a ring light doesn't.

⭐️ She has lived experience.
⭐️ She has resilience that can't be taught in a course.
⭐️ She has the grit to keep showing up even when it's not working yet.

What she sometimes lacks isn't capability.
It's confidence in the digital tools that have changed the game.

And that's the gap Tartan Social Academy exists to close.

We're not here to tell you to believe in yourself more.

We're here to give you the actual skills, tools, and knowledge to back yourself, because you'll have the receipts to prove you know what you're doing.

AI tools. Content strategy. Online business. Social media that converts.

All of it taught in plain English by someone who started from scratch and built in public, mistakes and all.

If you're tired of feeling behind, come learn with us by simply joining our free newsletter to get you started 👇🏼
