The 9–5 glow-down is real.

i used to be you

Hi, I'm Ellie.

I spent years commuting four hours a day to a job that looked good on paper and felt like slow suffocation. Losing sleep, asking permission for my own time off, slowly becoming someone I didn't recognise.

So I started freelancing on the side, while still employed. My first project was a $500 website. Then I quit, figured it out, and my next project was $40,000. Not because my skills changed. Because I finally knew who I was talking to.

Now I work for myself, from wherever I want (right now? Bali), making $10K+ a month with clients I actually like. Booked Out Bestie is the shortcut I didn't get. Got a question? Voice memo me on Instagram and I'll voice memo you back.

what, like it's hard?

Where I started. Where I am now.

My real numbers. Not to brag: so you can see how small the start was, and how fast it changed.

$500Where I startedMy first ever freelance project. A website, on the side of my 9–5. I was terrified and had no idea what I was doing.
$40KMy next projectSame skills. The only thing I changed was getting clear on exactly who I was for.
$10K+A month, nowWith clients I actually chose, at rates that make me feel like the professional I am.
$8KFrom one LinkedIn messageBooked with zero case studies. I teach the exact strategy in Module 05.
4–5Hours a dayThat’s my working day now. The rest is mine.
0Alarms set for workI wake up when my body’s ready. Every single day.
I want this for me See what's inside →

right now

Let me guess.

Every morning you dread your alarm. You're exhausted before you've even sat down, because the commute already took it out of you.

Then it's meetings. Meetings about meetings. Meetings to plan the next meeting.

And somewhere around 3pm you catch yourself thinking: is this really it? Another 40 years of this, then I retire, and then I get to live my life?

I know. I was there.

now picture this

You don't set an alarm unless you want to.

You work out. You move your body. You look after your nervous system first, not last.

There's a client you don't vibe with? You let them go. You work with people you like, from places you like, doing work you actually like.

And one day it hits you: you were sold a lie. The 9–5 was never the "safe" option, and making money online was never as hard as they told you.

my inbox, unfiltered

You're not the only one asking how.

Real DMs from women who found my reels. Names hidden, words untouched. Every single one is asking the same question.

DM: How you did it... frickin how
DM: I work in big 4 consulting and I'm planning to leave my job, I have no idea what to do
DM: I'd love to not be feeling Sunday sick anxiety
DM: I so much need the courage and push to go ahead. I feel emotionally damaged
DM: I want to quit at 32 and visit places. Motivate me please
DM: I am also 28 and worked in a company for 7 years and left a week ago
DM: Hey I am also looking to quit, any tips
DM: Same story, trying to do the same but don't know where to start
my reply to all of them
I couldn't answer every DM properly. So I wrote down the whole how.
Show me the how

the real reason you haven't left

It's not motivation. It's fear.

Totally normal. Here's what's actually true about the four that keep you at your desk.

"I can't risk my income."You don't have to. I started freelancing on the side while I was still employed. You quit when the numbers say so, not before.
"I don't even know what I'd do."Whatever a company pays you for now. Marketing, design, HR, admin, events: if they pay for it, a client will too.
"What if I fail and have to go back?"My first project was a $500 website and I was terrified. The next was $40K. Messy starts still work.
"I'm not that kind of girl."Scroll up. Women exactly like you are asking the same question. The ones who leave aren't braver. They just have a plan.

your three options

Stay. Wing it alone. Or take the shortcut.

If you stay

Next week becomes next year.

The commute, the meetings that could've been an email, the Sunday dread. Building someone else's dream, then home too tired to start your own.

If you wing it alone

Years of piecing it together.

The positioning, the clients, the pricing, the confidence. It took me years to figure it out on my own. You'll get there. Eventually.

vision board → camera roll

At 27 it was a vision board. At 31 it's my camera roll.

Every one of these used to be a screenshot I saved at my desk. No lottery win, no trust fund. Just a business I run in 4–5 hours a day.

What the girlies are saying.

★★★★★
"Booked Out Bestie completely changed how I viewed freelancing as a UX designer. The positioning module helped me package my skills properly, and now I finally feel confident building a business outside of corporate."
EEmilyUX Designer, UK
★★★★★
"The mindset and positioning modules were my favourite because they helped me stop blending in with every other web designer online. I now have a clearer ICP, stronger messaging, and more confidence in my services."

Get the course · $67
Do I need experience to do this?

No. It's built for people starting from scratch. You need a skill (which you already have from your corporate job), not a portfolio. The course teaches you how to package and position what you already know.

What if I don't know what to freelance as?

What are you doing in your corporate job right now? That's your starting point. The skill you already have is the thing. Module 1 helps you package it and Module 2 helps you figure out who to sell it to.

I'm in HR / admin / marketing. Will this work for me?

Yes. The frameworks work for any skill a company pays you for: marketing, social media, design, copywriting, HR and recruitment, admin and EA work, events, project management, operations. If a business pays for it in-house, another business will pay a freelancer for it.

Do I have to quit my job first?

No, and please don't quit on Monday. I started on the side while still employed. The course is built for people with a full-time job: do it in a weekend, land your first clients around your 9–5, and leave when the numbers say so.

How long does it take?

You can work through all six modules in a weekend. Each one is bite-sized and built for people who still have a full-time job. The workbooks are designed to be filled in as you go.

What's the difference between the $7 and the $67?

The $7 Dream Client Method is one 20-minute AI prompt session that gets you clear on who you're for, with a positioning statement and your first caption. The $67 course is the whole roadmap: mindset, dream client, offer, messaging, outreach and client experience, with six workbooks, scripts and templates. If you're unsure, start with the $7.

Do I need a paid Claude or ChatGPT account?

No. The Dream Client Method prompts run in the free versions of Claude or ChatGPT.

Is it worth $67?

One client using the discovery call script or proposal template pays for it ten times over. I went from charging $500 for a website to landing a $40K project. The frameworks work. You just have to actually use them.

I'm scared I'm not ready. Is that normal?

Completely. I was terrified too. The difference between people who get out and people who stay isn't confidence. It's having a roadmap. You don't need to feel ready. You just need the right information.
