Three of the Fastest Ways to Grow Your Portable Income

Greetings Portable Income Earner!

Next Tuesday, we’re continuing to Part 2 of The Three Fastest Ways to Grow Your Portable Income — Coaching, Consulting, and Content Creation.

We’ll dig deeper into how to package your experience so clients see your value instantly, and how to combine these three paths into your own unique mix. 

That means turning what you already know — your career lessons, leadership wins, or subject-matter know-how — into clear, profitable offers.

You’ll also see real examples from Barefoot members who turned small, simple offers — things like editing a guide, giving a one-hour consult, or summarizing a process — into repeat projects and long-term clients.

This week, we talked about getting started — not in theory, but in practice, because momentum is everything.

We walked through how each of these three income paths works in the real world:

  • Coaching is about sharing what you know — but in small, structured wins that clients can act on right away.

  • Consulting takes that same experience and applies it to solving problems fast, often in shorter projects that pay well because they save time and money.

  • Content Creation is where those insights become visible — articles, guides, social posts, even short videos that attract the right audience and prove your credibility.

We also recapped what I like to call the Confidence Cycle:

You start small, get a win, build confidence, and that confidence attracts bigger opportunities.

That’s how Portable Income really grows — not from waiting for the perfect idea, but from taking consistent steps that build both your reputation and your rhythm.

If you missed this week’s session, make sure to catch the replay — there’s a lot in there you can start using immediately to refine your offers and get visible faster.

Now here’s the news from around the Barefoot Consultants’ world,

Think, Grow, and Freelance Rich

This week, Coach John Meskel drew inspiration from Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, reminding us that the same mindset that built fortunes a century ago can still transform a freelance career today.

His core message: Success starts in the mind — but grows through action. Define what “rich” means to you — freedom, time, confidence — and align your daily choices with that vision.

John distilled Napoleon Hill’s philosophy into one simple formula:
Desire + Faith + Persistent Action = Growth.

It’s not about waiting for the perfect project — it’s about thinking boldly, taking small steps daily, and building momentum through consistent effort.

JOB OF THE WEEK

💼Small Job, Big Opportunity. 

Thank you to Robert B. for sending in the Job of the Week!

The client behind it has:

  • Hired over 1,500 freelancers,

  • Maintains a 5-star rating, and

  • Spent more than $121K on Upwork projects in just over a year.

Even though it’s a one-time, 30-minute task, this type of work offers real upside:
✅ High hiring volume (they’re bringing on 99 freelancers!) means better odds for new applicants.
✅ Simple scope — review a site, share your feedback, and you’re done.
✅ Gateway potential — reliable clients often start small and come back for larger, better-paying work once you’ve proven yourself.

Your bonus takeaway: don’t dismiss smaller-budget jobs. 

They’re often where relationships — and reputations — begin. 

Think of them as a paid audition for ongoing work.
