Pete Savage was pushed "backwards and blindfolded" as he calls it into the world of freelancing when he was fired one Friday morning. He had his first freelance gig by the Monday, and went on to build a successful freelance copywriting / marketing consulting business by hand. His client portfolio includes companies such as Motorola, HP, AT&T Wireless, 3M, AOL, Delta Faucet, Sears, Siemens, NCR, and RIM (makers of the BlackBerry®).Pete's insights have been published by MarketingProfs, the Canadian Professional Sales Association, SixFigureJobs.com, in the World's Best Kept Copywriting Secrets Vol. II and elsewhere. He's an accomplished speaker and coach, delivering strategy and inspiration to solo professionals. If you're looking for someone to champion your desire to build your own "business of one", you'll find the inspiration you need from Pete in The Wealthy Freelancer (Alpha Books).Pete lives in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada with his wife, two children and Ringo, the family Weimaraner.
