Get To Know Jennifer Bourn

People do business with people they know, like, and trust — hopefully this page helps you get to know, like, and trust me!

I’ve been a graphic designer for 23 years, a web designer and microagency owner for 16 years, a blogger for 12 years, and a course creator for 5 years. I love writing, workshops, speaking, and mentoring driven, ambitious freelancers.

Over the years, I’ve made every mistake I think you can make and learned most lessons the hard way… I’ve learned that running a business requires a lot of work and hard work but with the right information, tools, and support it doesn’t have to be difficult work.

• You can build a successful sustainable, profitable, freedom-driven business.
• You can live an amazing, joyous, inspired, fulfilling life.
• You can do both without sacrificing your soul, your sanity, and your health.

Building A Freedom-Based Business

My goal is to create and sustain a business I love — one that I wake up every day excited and passionate about — and to enjoy life along the way, making meaningful memories with those who matter most… And my mission is to help YOU do the same thing.

I spent far too many years living to work, letting my business run me ragged, and feeling overworked, overwhelmed, and exhausted. For a long time, I wondered how other freelancers, entrepreneurs, and self-employed professionals were able to find that mythical freedom I thought I would have when I started my business.

Thankfully, today I work to live a fun, extraordinary life.

• I ruthlessly manage my time and proactively manage my commitments and growing business to feel inspired, fulfilled, and excited about what’s ahead, be it the problems I need to solve, the tasks on my to-do list, or the students and clients I get to work with.
• I have a diverse income portfolio that includes monthly recurring revenue and passive income (that requires active marketing) from online courses, business training programs, digital products, live events, and yes, client services.
• I finally have the freedom to step away from my business when needed, recharge my soul, and truly enjoy life with those who matter most.

That doesn’t mean I take what I do any less seriously or have any less pride in my work and what I create. In fact, while I now work fewer hours and take more vacation than ever before, I also feel more creative and motivated than ever before.

Living An Unbalanced Life

The secret to my story is living an unbalanced life — accepting that work sometimes comes first and other times life comes first and making sure one never has priority for too long:

• When it’s time to work, I am completely focused. I work hard and leverage business systems and software automation to increase productivity and profits.
• When it’s time to play, I am relaxed and fully present. I play hard, and I leverage personal systems to truly detach from work and remove stress and drama.

If your business is running you instead of you running it… If you are chasing clients instead of being chased… If you’re wondering how to get everything done, why things just seem easier for other people, and what you need to do to earn the income you deserve…

I’ve got your back.

Because again, with the right information, tools, and support starting, managing, and growing your business doesn’t have to be lonely, frustrating, difficult work.
