Our mission is to empower experienced freelancers and consultants to reach for the financial security and work satisfaction they deserve.
Nation1099 is made up of people who are passionate about delivering great work to great clients. We started out selling our skills, services and expertise on a project basis and gradually realized we are business owners. We are “freelance by choice,” tech savvy, creative, interested in taking command of our careers and interested in connecting with our freelance peers in other professions. We understand that freelance doesn’t mean passive, and it doesn’t mean waiting for something better to come along. We are not “between jobs.”
We may describe ourselves as freelance, contract, contingent, consulting, self-employed, independent workers or even small business owners. We are the vanguard of creative skilled work that doesn’t happen in departments inside companies but in hybrid and blended teams who come together around projects.
But many experienced freelancers are feeling stalled in their careers and aren’t sure how to move forward. Many of us are are making a living but sense that better clients, more financial security and more satisfying work is possible. We are eager to get to the next level but aren’t sure where to find good information and where to invest our efforts.
The vision for Nation1099 is a community that encourages and empowers these entrepreneurial independent workers. We strive to be the premier source of expert advice for consultants, freelancers and other gig economy workers who want to go from surviving to thriving.
