Ever felt so drained and discouraged you thought, “Maybe I should just give up”?
That’s exactly where Bart was—not just doubting his move from corporate sales to copywriting, but seriously questioning if he could make it work at all.
Fast forward: Bart is now booked out for six months—and here’s what may surprise you…
…he did it without social media.
On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business, Bart was generous to share his story, including how he turned things around.
He’s also sharing the mindset shifts that helped him push through the hardest moments, and the surprising decisions (like stepping completely away from social) that actually helped him thrive.
As Bart says, “A lot can change in a very short time… if you don’t give up.”
If you’re burned out or doubting yourself, this episode might be exactly what you need to hear.
