Great experience with Winton and Barefoot Consultants I had been following Barefoot Consultants for some time and entered the Jumpstart program, with Winton as my coach. I cannot say enough about how positive this experience has been. His focus was on thoroughly familiarizing me with the Upwork platform. In every session, he shared deep insights and tools for me to apply. He is a very considerate coach, highly professional and knowledgeable, generous with his time, very responsive to my needs, and a great teacher. Now I value him as a friend.

Skipped the guesswork The best part about Barefoot Consultants is that I didn’t have to figure out freelancing on my own. Many of the questions at the beginning of any new business such as ‘what do I sell?’, ‘whom do I sell it to?’, ‘how much to charge?’, and many more were already answered with the test of time and the testament of success. The simple proven winning formula was literally laid over the top of skills I already possess which were so kindly and carefully uncovered by my certified coach. Had I known that I would have such a competent guide to help me move through this time of transition from my previous careers, work and life experiences, into being my own boss, creating my own hours and literally showing me how I can work anywhere I can get an internet connection, I would have paid double and started 5 years sooner.

Above and Beyond - Great Value I took the Barefoot Consults webinar course about teaching English online. Definitely delivered above and beyond, and the ongoing support and amount of bonus materials they provide is truly amazing. I don't know how they do it, but they surely do provide terrific value!

A good way to learn AI The AI Membership series is a fun and easy way to learn and use AI. The video courses led by Winton and Evan are entertaining and easy to understand. You are able to go through the videos at your own pace. Whatever the topic, the AI prompts used, are straight forward and easy to use. The prompts used in the video course are available to download when the video is available. Once a month there is a Zoom call for Q&A about the recently released videos. This is a good way to keep up to date with new technology.

Provides helpful information for free… Provides helpful information for free lancers and provides information on best practices to follow and information on pitfalls and what should ring alarm bells about the prospective client. From what I garher, one part is still not very fleshed out for the newbies on how their lifetime experience relates to a marketable skill set post retirement in a fast changing tech environment. Many with long years of experience do not possess the degrees or certificates rquired. For example, many people have worked as Project Managers over a long period of time with a company but never needed to acquire the PMP certification. Actually when they starting managing projects, even large ones, there was no PMP and certifications.
