The Self-Employed Summit / April 12th and 13th, 2021 / 12pm-5pm ET
2 days. 10 top-notch speakers. 1 rare opportunity.
The Self-Employed Summit is a first-of-its kind event designed to give you the resources and tools you need to build your business successfully without having to run in a million different directions to look for answers. With ten world-class speakers presenting over the course of two days, the Self-Employed Summit is a single destination point for self-employed business owners and those who are considering starting their own business.
It’s also designed to cut through the popular misconceptions and address what it’s really like to be self employed. For example, you know that famous advice about keeping business and personal life separate?
It doesn’t work for us.
If you’re self-employed, this is something you know in your bones. You know it when you’re in the middle of moving to a new home, surrounded by boxes, and still taking a client phone call. You know it when you’re reading emails at the dinner table, or e-signing contracts on the beach.
You know it, but when was the last time someone acknowledged it, let alone gave you practical tools on how to navigate this unique way of life in a world shaped to fit the needs of those who are employed by others?
Unprecedented access to world-class speakers.
The Self-Employed Summit has brought together ten carefully curated world-class speakers who are luminaries in their fields to address the three main areas that make up the interconnected formula for self-employed success:
Personal development: Being self-employed requires overcoming mindset blocks and embracing personal development for inspiration and forward momentum.
Business strategies: Self-employed business owners need the knowledge and skill set to establish our business model and perfect our branding, marketing, and sales, but the one-size fits all approach tailored to corporations doesn’t work for us. To really thrive, we need strategies that are designed specifically for OUR sized businesses and our particular needs.
Daily habits: Success is not a one and done event. The key to living a consistently successful life as a self-employed business owner is to develop efficient, effective, easy-to-do in not-a-lot-of-time daily habits that create stability and ensure the actions you are taking are supported and sustainable.
It’s our time to thrive as self-employed business owners
How to tell if the Self-Employed Summit is for you:
You want to find a way to gain more control over your life and business--and to better manage the things that can’t be controlled.
You find that you spend a huge amount of energy working hard but hardly get ahead.
You are ready to step off the hamster wheel and start experiencing the freedom and joy you envisioned when you started your business.
The Self-Employed Summit is also for you if:
You have had the rug pulled out from underneath you in our current economy and are wondering if starting your own business could be a good path forward for you and your family.
You are seeing the writing on the wall and wondering how to monetize your skills if you become unemployed.
You are ready to do more purposeful work and make a difference in the world.
How to attend:
The Self-Employed Summit and access to the entire two days of presentations, is complimentary with pre-order of the book The Self-Employed Life ($17.95) by Jeffrey Shaw, the nation’s leading authority for self-employed business owners.
Access to top-notch speakers, amazing content, and a book that will change your business and life! See you in the summit!

Do I have to be established as a self-employed business owner to benefit from the Self-Employed Summit?
