CAREER & BUSINESS COACHING FOR FREELANCERS.

Nobody does it alone. Work smart, get paid what you’re worth, spend and invest wisely so you can live your goal lifestyle, doing work that matters to you while being financially secure.

Hello, I'm Marco.

I help Freelancers, Creatives and Wellness Professionals design and refine their work-life lifestyle, implementing strategies and systems I successfully used myself, so they can be grow in their careers and be financially secure while doing meaningful work, like I do.

Here are some key areas I can help you with:

WORK-LIFE VISION AND A CLEAR TRUE NORTH
STRATEGIC CAREER GROWTH
GETTING NEW CLIENTS
EMPOWERING MONEY MINDSET
INCOME GROWTH
BUDGETING AND NET WORTH TRACKING
LIFESTYLE COACHING AND DESIGN
INVESTMENTS CONCEPTS AND LONG TERM LIFE PLANNING

We'll follow a 3-step process to get clarity, set and achieve your goals:

- Dive directly into the key pain points such as expenses, income, job change or burnout and implement any urgent measures necessary.
- Fuel: Meaningful Work and Cashflow + Energy and Vitality.
- Vision: Get clear on a work-life vision that aligns with personal priorities. Lifestyle Design with Career Strategy. Mitigate cognitive dissonance and benefit from the alignment of having a clear True North.
- Systems: Yearly Career & Financial Goal Setting and Check-ins, Personal Development for Career Growth, Life nourishing practices, Investments, and more.
- Get clarity on the key points of leverage available and act on them strategically.
- Transition from playing reactive whack-a-mole to more predictable, productive and energizing weeks as systems are gradually implemented. Compounding is a powerful force of positive change in money and life.
- Implement changes that stack the cards in favor of the desired behaviors and outcomes - such as picking the right career/work/business for you - so the river current you're in is taking you where you want to go, rather than requiring you to constantly fight it.
- Make space to breathe and properly celebrate progress in support of sustainable high performance, so the journey - aka life - can be enjoyable.

Learn about my journey.

An experienced consultant and coach, I have spent the last 20 years working in Tech, Digital Business, Consulting, Coaching, and Entrepreneurship, starting as an accounts payable intern delivering documents by bus in Brazil to working for Fortune 500 Companies in the US – Nestlé, BASF, TEREX, Accenture – and leading an 8-figure business portfolio, all while running my coaching practice.

My passion for coaching began over 15 years ago with my own evolution with the support of coaches, leading me to take ICF accredited coaching training, establish my coaching practice, multiplying my income and net worth while drastically increasing my fulfillment and impact along the way. I have invested in numerous programs, tools and coaching – to the tune of $250K over the years - and truly love having an impact through coaching!

As a driven and ambitious (for life) person I now have a portfolio of work and investments, lead an engaging business, family and individual life, and embrace sustainable performance along with work-life integration for my self and in the support of my clients as they reach for their work-life goals.

On a more personal note, I am an avid reader and student of business, personal finances, investments, innovation, and cutting edge personal development. When I’m not working you can find me learning, having deep conversations, traveling, practicing mindfulness or yoga, hiking, spending time in nature, and with my family, our dog, and friends. Originally from Brazil, and after 20 years in the US, I'm now based in sunny Lisbon, Portugal.

Kind words from clients.

Julie B.

“Every time we hang up, I feel super motivated. I feel like I have a lot of clarity. I know where I'm headed. And I'm so incredibly grateful for that. I know I've mentioned this before, but I just wanna repeat it. This work is really valuable, and it's really helping me. It's exactly what I needed, so thank you so much!”
Chris G.

“I am a new business owner with no formal business training so having someone like him to help me focus my energy on tasks that will help grow the business is incredibly valuable. He has a wealth of knowledge and has been eager to help me grow my business by tapping into his professional and personal experience. He has also been very good at meeting me where I’m at by digging in to understand what I want my business to look like so he can help me get there, rather than just telling me how he thinks it should grow. I highly recommend Marco and look forward to continuing to work with him!”
Annemarie P.

“…Largely thanks to his coaching, I have grown in my skills, confidence and ability to influence in new and unexpected ways. It’s not often you find someone who helps you align your inner and outer world, is both relentlessly optimistic and relentlessly honest, is generous with his own insights without being directive. He always helps you to get to a position where you can choose from various options, and coaches you to see your choice through. I would really recommend working with him if you have the chance!”
Kristen M.

“…You help me to see the bigger picture of where I want my business to go. No just focusing on the day-to-day. You seem to always be thinking about my options. You consider multiple ways that I can solve the same problem. You keep me on track. Knowing I have a meeting coming up with you ensures that I get things done. You’re not afraid to disagree with me. Or point out when I’m being short sighted or doing something that I’ve said I didn’t want to do…”
