title: Stop Thinking Like a Freelancer: The Evolution of a $1m Web Designer
author:  Liam Veitch 
description: Freelancing is difficult enough... So I'm going all-in to push freelance designers, writers &amp; marketers who are 'doing okay' to evolve, innovate and achieve the freedom (in all its guises) they desire from their tiny businesses. Three years ago I left my "yeah, I guess it's okay" job as a designer/marketer at a larger business with a vision; to do freelancing right this time. I had nothing more than a laptop, one rented desk in a shared workspace, ten digits at the end of two arms, and one vision. Today I have a self-sufficient, multi-faceted web agency (tone.co.uk), along with other offshoots, capable of operating - and growing - without my day-to-day presence. In the whirlwind period which followed the business has generated $1.1m in revenues and growing, so I needed to tell my story. It took me one failure at the freelance game and 2 years inside a corporate to figure it out, now I want to give you the benefit of my experience as well as inviting you into the world of the people who have been there and broken the freelance boundaries themselves. By doing this you'll be able to grow beyond your current normal and build a business you can be really proud of which supports the lifestyle you really want to live.

  "Ian Campbell has requested your services."
  
    
  
  Abbie Wright stared fixedly at her bald-headed, kindly boss with an astonished
  expression. She needed to have her hearing checked. "Excuse me, Roger? Can you
  repeat that?" She was certain she had misunderstood. She could have sworn he
  had said Ian Campbell.
  
    
  
  Her elderly boss cracked a smile as he looked up at her from behind his desk.
  "Oh...you heard me correctly, Abbie. He needs your services as a website
  developer. He needs a website." The old man shrugged. "He wouldn't say what
  the project was and I didn't push. He would be an important client to have. "
  
    
  
  Abbie sat down in the chair in front of her boss' desk, completely
  dumbfounded. Ian Campbell? Why? "He must have hundreds of people that can do
  this project at his disposal. He owns one of the biggest corporations in the
  country. Why would he use so
