“Don’t you ever wake up grumpy Max?” Naw buddy. I let Grumpy sleep in. And these days Grumpy’s getting plenty of beauty rest. Yet I remember a time as a freelancer when that wasn’t the case. I bumbled around looking for clients by offering FREE work because I was too afraid to learn how to…

It’s gonna be an exciting 30 days. For one, it’s my birthday, yet again (I could have sworn we already did this last year). I don’t need or like the extra attention it comes with, so I choose to celebrate others instead. Like my friend Selena Soo. She’s helped me in my both my life…

  September is my Birth-Month and I like to celebrate each year in a symbolic way. This year, it’s especially fitting because I’ve been prepping my partners and TOM subscribers for the changes in the business. They all start tomorrow.

See I didn’t have money for a semester of college, and I had about 3 days to earn $15K or go home to my Haitian mother with…

Email is the one true equalizer. A tool that separates fumbling freelancers from savvy ones. It’s how you make a strong impression that gets you in the door to working with a new client and earning real cash. For example, I was on the phone with a client who used one of my email scripts…

Ever find it hard to talk about race, sex, gender, disability, in private, let alone to make it part of your marketing? Well so do my friends the Copy Chief, Kevin Rogers, and the Podcast Mogul, Jonathan Rivera. At least they did… before they talked about it with me. Kevin asked me to lead a…

Do #BlackLivesMatter? Or is it All Lives Matter? Maybe just blue? I did an interview on CopyChief Radio, and the show notes suggest it’s my brainchild. It’s not.​​http://copychief.com/episode-19-max-rouzier/ Got my hands full with my health concerns and building my business.​However, I do explain what #BLM really means so there’s no more confusion or opposition to…

Inside TOM someone called me out for my seemingly excessive emails yesterday. (Always holding me accountable. I love it.): “Okay. I gotta ask… Max, I got 5 emails from you all time stamped with yesterday’s date. Was that intentional or some scheduling gone funky? I love your content… but 5 in one day is a…
