Nathan Ingram has been a freelance web developer since 1995. In 2014, Nathan began coaching other freelance web developers individually and in groups to help them become more profitable and productive. Nathan is also Host at iThemes Training where he has been teaching WordPress and freelance business development live via webinar since 2012.
“After working with Nathan for a year, my business bears no resemblance to what it used to be. We have increased our revenues, are being contracted by our ideal clients and working on projects that we really enjoy.
My business is thriving, my personal productivity has improved and we are altogether more professional. Most importantly, I am no longer working 18 hour days, 7 days a week.
I started the year determined to improve my business. I don't believe that any of this would have happened without Nathan's coaching.”
“Nathan’s expertise and skilled coaching helped transform my business into the real deal with ambitious pricing, strategic processes and recurring revenue.”
— Sara Lang, Prestige Digital“I found Nathan's coaching at a time when I felt overwhelmed by my business to the point where I was considering a different line of work. Based on Nathan’s initial input, I decided to instead expand my services and build on what I’d already created rather than changing course so drastically. Creating a completely new service was very hard, and I wouldn’t have been able to get this far without the accountability and feedback I’ve gotten from Nathan and the rest of the coaching group. I would have given up on my new idea without this help. Now I see growth ahead for my business, where a few months ago I only felt frustration. ”
