What you’re about to read is the system I used to turn a $500 freelance project into a million-dollar asset by focusing on patterns, not trends.

When I started, I didn’t have some big master plan. I just wanted to make $10,000 a month online, and digital products seemed like the way to get there.

I’d been freelancing about a year, doing a little bit of everything — making $3–5K a month. Less than I made as an engineer fresh out of college.

Always on.

When my wife would take the baby out, I’d stay in to work.

If I stopped, everything stopped.
Every month started at zero.

I had clients. But nothing was compounding.

I was chasing passive income. Digital products. But I couldn’t come up with anything “good enough.”

And underneath all of it was this voice:

Not enough yet.

Not enough clients.
Not enough followers.
Not enough experience.
Not enough credentials.
Not enough proof that I could charge more, build products, or step into something bigger.

Then something shifted.

I’d hired a developer on Upwork. Started feeding him projects. After the 3rd or 4th one, I noticed a pattern — clients kept needing the same solution.

“Hey, have you ever thought about licensing this?”

“You mean like plugins?”

“Yeah.”

He built it. We launched it.

18 months later: first $100K.
Six years later: crossed $1M.

And guess what I was doing?

Spending time with the kids.
Not grinding. Not hustling. Not building a team.

The asset was working while I wasn’t.

By 2024, I was only working on it about two hours a month.

I didn’t become “more qualified.”
I didn’t learn some secret tactic.

I just stopped pretending what I had didn’t count.

Here’s what my life looks like now:

Lifeschooling my three kids. Random hanky panky with my wife. Playing around with AI. Writing books and recording music. Laughing and living life on my terms.

This isn’t about building some giant company or chasing venture funding. That’s not my thing, and this isn’t the playbook for that.

This is for solopreneurs, freelancers, and creative professionals who are tired of trading hours for dollars.

You’re not looking for a boss.
You’re looking for freedom.

And here’s what I want you to take away from this:

The problems you’re dealing with right now? They’re not just yours.

There are people out there who’ll face the exact same issues — and they’ll need the solutions you’ve already built.

The more you recognize that, the more income you’ll have coming in… which lets you spend your time on what really matters.

Not enough yet is the voice.

But more doesn’t start with something new.

It starts when you finally treat what you have as enough.

That’s what Digital Alchemy is.
