“What does “Filthy Rich” mean? It means having a job you love, being good at what you do, and making great money doing it!”

-Nicki Krawczyk

A Quarter-Life Crisis

A year ago, I realized that I was not living the life of my dreams. I was burnt out and losing interest in my personal and professional pursuits. I needed to re-evaluate, set some new goals, and find a career that intrigued me.

After soul-searching and fantasizing via YouTube, my spouse and I figured out what we want more than anything in the world: to travel the world full-time via sailboat.

We weren’t exactly planning to travel in luxury, but there would still be bills to pay as we trotted around having the time of our lives! Goal number one was to work to live, not live to work. Therefore, remote work was an absolute MUST.

I had already been working from home, but my new goal brought with it a new catch: I only got two weeks of paid vacation every year. More flexibility would be necessary in order to explore the way we dreamed about. If the opportunity for a safari, scuba diving expedition, or ocean crossing came up, I wanted to be able to drop everything and GO - even if I’d already taken more than two weeks off that year.

I began determinedly hunting for jobs that satisfied that requirement. What I found confirmed my preconceived suspicions - those jobs were scarce and most of them required experience that I didn’t have. They also didn’t pay the kind of salary I desired. I was back to the drawing board and more than a little bummed.

A New Hope (Cue the Star Wars Theme)

Thanks to the pesky algorithms we all love and hate, a gem dropped into my Instagram feed in the form of an ad In July of 2022. It was for the Filthy Rich Writer’s Comprehensive Copywriting Academy (CCA). I was intrigued by the founder, Nicki Krawczyk, and after about 30 seconds of pondering what I had to lose (nothing), I decided to give her Free Video Training a shot.

That’s when I fell hook, line, and sinker for the vision she presented. Freelance copywriting would enable me to set my own schedule, scale my income up or down as needed, pursue projects and clients that interested me, and do so from anywhere in the world with internet access. By the end of that training, it seemed very obvious to me that the CCA was my first step toward actualizing our dreams of sailing the world.

My Experience with the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy

From the moment I logged into the CCA dashboard, I felt like Nicki understood what I needed to hear and learn. Throughout the coursework, she reminded me that copywriting would work for me as long as I worked for it. She coached me through how to identify and counter the resistance that held me back from completing the steps necessary in order to succeed. She taught me the basics of copywriting and then how to build on those basics to write for every medium. Her lessons are replete with easy-to-understand examples and worksheets to hammer the knowledge home. She even coached me through how to start my business!

Not only is Nicki herself a wealth of knowledge, but she has built a friendly and supportive community within the CCA. The student-only Facebook group is comprised of students and coaches who kindly offer advice and assistance at all hours of the day and night. The group gets together on twice-monthly Zoom calls where coaches answer questions and provide guidance on everything copywriting and entrepreneurship related! Plus, if any student decides that they want/need one-on-one instruction, we can schedule appointments with the coach of our choice via the CCA student dashboard.

I’m proud to say that one year later I have quit my start-up job and launched my copywriting career! As I continue to build my business, learning and growing along the way, my husband and I are shopping for the sailboat we’ll be slowly circumnavigating the world aboard. My dreams are coming true, I’ve discovered a career that I actually enjoy along the way, and I have the CCA to thank for all of it.

If you’d like to embark on the journey toward your own audacious dreams, I encourage you to sign up for Nicki’s Free Video Training to see how you can get started with copywriting.
