And I have built my freelance business in a small, rural town of 650 people 50 minutes south of Kansas City, Kansas. (although we do have really good internet)
Now, wanting to help others, I created Freelance on Fire to show creative professionals like you how to discover your potential, ignite your passion and launch your talent as a freelancer.

Be who you were created to be!
