Description

Hey quick gut check: Is your portfolio a "highlight reel" or a "dumping ground"?


If it’s the latter, you’re making the same mistake most freelancers make.


You’re trying to be the Cheesecake Factory, with its 21-page menu with 250+ items on it.


Your thought process is "there's something for everyone". And yet… no one knows what you’re actually great at.


In this episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast, I call this out for what it is:


The Portfolio Paradox: the more work you show, the fewer clients you actually land.


In this episode, I’ll show you:




  • Why your “impressive” portfolio isn’t converting




  • The silent signals a cluttered portfolio sends to clients




  • And how to fix it with a Greatest Hits-style approach that builds trust fast




If you want clients saying “hell yes” instead of “next!"... listen to this episode.
