Are you tired of building your freelance business in isolation?

You’ve gone solo — and now it feels like you’re doing everything alone.You’re figuring out pricing, website, systems, all with no backup. No colleagues, no clarity, no place to talk through the hard stuff.Portugal can feel slow to adapt, and local networks rarely suit you. You're stuck in your own head, wondering if this is how it’s supposed to be.You need support — a real space with others like you.

Freelancing can feel like walking alone in the dark.

You’re smart, skilled, and you’re making money — but that doesn't mean you don’t feel lost sometimes.You question your direction.Struggle with setbacks.You get stuck in overthinking and self-doubt.No one in your life understands your problems, or can help you fix them.You wonder if anyone else is figuring this out as they go — or if you’re the only one.

This is a support group — not a coaching program.

Yes Ahead is a structured space where 10 freelancers meet twice a month to share problems, report progress, and learn from each other.You’ll get grounding, clarity and tools — as well as freedom from the loneliness of freelancing.We focus on honest conversations, real feedback, and practical improvements.This is about building your solo business with complete confidence.And we'll have your back as you do it.

This is how we'll work together.

Founding packages:
• Basic — €30/month: Group sessions only
• Essential — €40/month: Group sessions + bonus templates, tools & shortcuts
Yes Ahead is a private group designed to help freelancers identify what’s not working — and fix it!You’ll work in a confidential space with peers who understand the demands of running their own business.Everything we share stays in the room. This gives you the chance to share problems free of judgement so we can grow — together.You’ll walk away with practical actions, insight from fellow freelancers, and a clearer understanding of what your business needs.

What You Get

We meet twice a month online — on Zoom:• Session 1 (2 hours) — We address a topic like marketing, then everyone shares a business problem related to the topic, with a challenge at the end.• Session 2 (2 hours) — Everyone shares what they did with the challenge from Session 1, then attends a workshop to learn a new skill (from me, a peer or a guest speaker).• Challenges every month to keep you moving and accountable.• Friendly check-ins between sessions to find out how you're getting on.• A business goal you submit on Day 1, to work through as we go.

This is for full-time freelancers — not dreamers or part-timers.

You need to be 1–2 years into your business, already working with paying clients, and freelancing as your main income (and make actual money too).You need to speak English (all sessions and material will be in English).You’re serious about growing, but tired of figuring it all out alone.This is a space for serious solo professionals who want clarity, connection, and a better way to work.Your business can be in any of the following industries: creative, marketing, and tech.
