The Year I Almost Went Bankrupt
Everyone thought I'd lost my mind.
2003. Barely any savings in the bank. And I'm about to quit my stable job to become a freelance drafter.
My life at that moment:
→ Full-time job (steady paycheck)
→ Married with real responsibilities
→ 1 1/2 -year-old daughter counting on me
→ Pregnant wife (baby #2 coming soon)
→ Brand new house with mortgage payments
What was I thinking?!
But lying in bed at night, I kept imagining a different life.
Freedom to choose my projects. Time to actually be present for my kids' milestones.
Building something that belonged to me.
The fear was real. The pull was stronger.
So I jumped.
Zero to six figures within a few years.
But here's the part nobody warns you about:
Being an incredible drafter means absolutely nothing if you can't run a business.
I learned this the expensive way. Pricing mistakes. Client management disasters. Cash flow nightmares.
Technical genius. Business amateur.
It nearly broke me.
20+ years later, I'm building the Drafting Workshop community for one reason:
So talented drafters don't have to stumble through the same business mistakes I made.
You've already mastered the hardest part - the technical skills.
Let me help you with everything else.
P.S. The "crazy" decisions are usually the ones that change everything. What's your version of 2003?
