Send me an invitation to get started! ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE ON UPWORK: I’ve been on Upwork before it was called Upwork. I started as an Augmented Reality developer with an hourly rate of $30, pivoted my niche multiple times, and 10X’ed my rates over the years. Although I’ve been based in the coconut zone this entire time, my official business location shifted from Malaysia to the U.S. after the first seven years of my solopreneur journey. Since 2017, as a side business, I’ve been helping thousands of people reach their potential as freelancers. On LinkedIn, people have given me 100 nicknames, e.g., ‘Upwork Superhero’ and ‘CocoLord’, because of my tropical lifestyle and a chronic inability to work for peanuts. I’m honored to have been FEATURED BY UPWORK as: ⭐ A guest speaker at an Upwork LIVE event: ‘Charging 3-Digit Figures Per Hour And Increasing Your Value’ (available on YouTube!) ⭐ A Featured Community Contributor ⭐ The guest author of a two-part article, ‘5½ Ways Upwork Helped Boost My Solopreneur Career’ that marked the launch of Upwork’s new blog series in 2022 I’m also the author of: 📖 A popular freelancing-themed blog, ‘CoachLancer’ 📖 The most comprehensive freelancing guidebook series ever written, titled ‘Go Straight for Coconuts’
