A Practical Way To Reclaim True Liberty For Your Life
I knew what I was about to do was illegal. But I didn’t care...
I was at the lowest point in my life.
I was months behind on rent. My car would have been repossessed if they could find me.
I had $21,000 in credit card debt that I couldn’t even make minimum payments on because my bank account was overdrawn.
And I had absolutely no idea where my next meal was coming from, much less my next paycheck.
So I was feeling more than a little reckless.
Here’s what I did.
I pulled out my wallet and removed the very last dollar I had. And I defaced it with a sharpie.
Here’s that dollar.
In case you can’t read it, it says “My last dollar.” It’s dated December 10th, 2009.
This dollar has been sitting on my desk ever since.
It’s a reminder of where I’ve been and how far I’ve come.
See, these days I’m just about as free as any human can be.
I have a fully paid off house on 15 acres in the mountains. I have no debt that I couldn’t get rid of tomorrow.
And I never have to worry about getting canceled if I decide to post an opinion on social media.
I work if and when I want.
I can pick up and leave for a week-long vacation pretty much whenever I want.
And I don’t ever consider what people I don’t like (and who don’t like me) think of me for even a minute.
Now, I worry plenty the erosion of civil liberties and tech censorship.
And if I had my way, I’d radically alter the way our government functions.
But at the end of the day, I’m just about as free as a man can be in today’s world.
Now let me ask you a question…
Do You Feel Free?
Are you secure enough with your income or wealth that you don’t have to worry about offending anyone?
Do you get to make your own schedule and work only when you want?
Do you have to follow stupid rules, file pointless paperwork, or even just pretend to like people you can’t stand because – if you don’t – someone will make your life miserable?
Even if governmental or societal problems fell off your list of concerns…
How much of your life is dictated to you by another person?
My name is Henry Bingaman.
I’m the founder of the Practical Liberty Podcast, and the Freedom Business Network.
And today, I’m going to show you my formula for becoming as free as it’s possible to be in today’s world...
A major part of being free in today’s world is knowing...
How to make all the money you need
to fully enjoy your freedom
Because, by far, the number one thing you absolutely must do is take FULL control over your income and wealth.
Unless you inherited a Scrooge McDuck swimming pool full of gold…
Or you’re a savant at investing…
There are really only two ways to do this.
The first is entrepreneurship.
The opportunity for Entrepreneurs is better today than it’s ever been in history.
The internet has opened up opportunities that no-one could have dreamed of just a couple decades ago.
But, despite the myriad of programs promising to make you a six or seven figure income in just minutes a day…
Starting your own business is HARD. And it comes with huge risks.
To be successful, you need:
And no matter what, you either have to invest a ton of time or a ton of money. Usually both.
Now look, I fully support the entrepreneurial spirit. If you have a great business idea and the drive to make it a reality, I encourage you to launch it. You could change the world.
But there’s no “easy” way to get a business off the ground.
And if it doesn’t work, you’re not just back to square one.
You’ve often lost your money, investors’ money, and potentially built up a pile of debt and enemies.
That’s why, especially for folks without a ton of business or entrepreneurial experience, I recommend door #2.
Freelancing
Freelancers are guns for hire on the open market.
They work when they want, for whom they want, and at whatever price they can get their clients to agree to pay them.
With freelancing you have far less career risk than entrepreneurs.
In fact, you even have less career risk than traditional employees. (That may be hard to believe, but I’ll prove it to you with simple math in a second).
As a freelancer, you get to work from anywhere in the world. You get to work on your own schedule.
And if you know what you’re doing…
Even without any extraordinary idea, talent, or luck.
It doesn’t matter if your 18 or 80…
It doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, or green… man or woman… city slicker or country bumpkin…
You could jump several income brackets and live a freer, more fulfilling life as a freelancer…
If you know how to play the game.
And no matter what industry you're in (or want to work in) currently...
Here’s the reason you need to seriously consider freelancing right now.
As of 2022, freelancers made up 36% of the workforce.
By the year 2027 – just around the corner – that number will cross 50%.
That means there are projected to be over 86 million freelancers in the United States alone.
And once we cross that threshold…
Once everyone knows a freelancer who’s making more money than they used to…
And working on their own schedule…
Once companies experience the benefits of using freelancers instead of full-time employees…
Nobody is going to want an old school, traditional job.
And no employers are going to want to hold on to “dead weight” employees.
The market forces on both sides are lined up to prefer freelancers.
However, very few people realize this right now.
Which means there’s a window of opportunity where you can get in ahead of the curve and become wealthier and more free than you ever imagined.
Who am I to tell you all this?
Well like I said, my name is Henry Bingaman.
When I defaced that dollar, I was just about 2 years into my career as a freelance writer.
And I was feeling extremely dumb.
See, I grew up in one of the poorest cities in America. I was mugged, threatened, and picked on my whole life.
For example, the first time I had a knife held to my throat, I was 11 years old.
And while we weren’t the poorest family in the city by any stretch of the imagination… we didn’t have a budget for a lot of luxuries or vacations.
I hated the lack of options and opportunity.
So as soon as I was old enough, I got outta dodge.
I was an adult.
I was going make my way in the free world of adults with nobody telling me what to do anymore.
Then I got my first “real job.” And life got worse.
I had to wear a stiff and uncomfortable suit and tie…
Pretend to respect my bosses (who I thought were idiots)…
And the company rule was “on time is late.” But I still only got paid for "on time."
It was just as miserable as being a dead-broke kid in a run-down city.
Worse, because now I didn’t have anyone one else to blame.
However, I had always been a decent writer, so I figured I’d try my hand at freelance writing.
It went pretty well… for about a month.
Then it stopped going well.
This was the middle of the Great Recession. Clients dried up. Promising leads went away. And nobody had a budget for writers any more.
Shortly after that is when I maxed out my credit cards and stopped making car payments.
This dollar was kind of like a contract with myself.
I was never going to spend my last dollar. And I was going to do whatever it took to figure out how to make this freelance thing work.
Because if I could make it work – the freelance life was everything I ever wanted.
Now, mostly, I tried to just become the best writer I could. I studied and practiced for like 8 hours a day. I bought every copywriting course I could get my hands on.
It barely moved the needle.
Then I made one key observation and a few subtle changes.
The next year, I was making $100,000 a year.
A couple years later I was making $200,000... Then $500,000... Then $700,000.
Then, at my peak, I made over $1.4 million dollars in a single year.
Today I’m known as one of the top copywriters in the world.
I’ve sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of products for clients like Money Map Press, NewsMax, and Natural Health Sherpa.
I’m honored to call a lot of today’s top marketers, friends. And I occasionally work or pal around with celebrities.
Now here’s the crazy thing…
I am not the best writer or marketer. I’m not the most creative guy in the space.
I don’t have some undeniable talent that “destined” me for a million-dollar income.
My real secret was that one observation I made early on in my career.
Here it is.
There were some freelancers who were making a boatload of money who were not exceptionally skilled in any way I could see.
Then there were some truly outstanding freelancers who were just scraping by.
At first, that didn’t make any sense to me.
The more skilled individual SHOULD be making more money.
That’s how a meritocracy works.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite so simple.
There are a lot of reasons that a less talented freelancer might get paid more.
All of those things are skills that are NOT directly related to the thing a freelancers sells…
But they’re far more important to dictating how much money you make than just being the “best” freelance… designer, engineer, writer, coder, analyst, or whatever other “skill”.
In other words, freelancing itself is a skill.
And it’s the most important skill in determining how much you enjoy your career and how well you get paid.
When I focused in on developing the skill of freelancing in addition to my skills at writing…
That started the journey that got my income all the way up to a peak of $1.4 million.
Then 2020 happened, and the whole world went mad.
I was making incredible money, but so many of my friends and acquaintances were devestated.
Employed friends lost jobs – entrepreneur friends had businesses shut down. Millions of people’s freedom were snatched away from them.
And it drove me crazy.
So I put my freelance career on pause.
I launched my podcast, Practical Liberty, and this business to help make sure people who see the world like me never have to be put in that situation again.
Today, I focus on helping folks make progress in what I call The Four Cornerstones of Liberty.
You need to be able to protect yourself, your belongings, and your family without any significant government help.
Privacy is a major factor here. Can you be tracked online by governments or criminals?
You don’t need a vault full of gold or a billion dollar inheritance. But money is an big factor in modern survival.
The important thing here isn’t having wealth. It’s being adaptable enough to earn a high income in a variety of situations.
Can you make money in a depression? Can you earn a living without compromising everything you believe in This is going to be a key survival skill in the coming years.
You need to be able to cut through the mounds of BS and “disinformation” and frankly marketing material - to figure out what’s true.
With the emergence of AI and deepfakes, this is going to be a lot less straightforward than it used to be – and it was never straightforward.
You’ll need to be able to build communities and find groups of people who share your values.
And you need to develop skills that can make you a significant part of that community.
It pays to be self-reliant. But nobody can survive entirely on their own.
If you nail down all four of those areas, you will be a lot freer and a lot happier.
And the one area where I can have the biggest impact in directly teaching you – is wealth.
I believe, for the majority of people, freelancing is the best path to wealth.
And look, if you taking nothing else away from this letter, I want you to remember this:
The Math Proves That Freelancing Is The Future
Think about it from the freelancers side.
Let’s say you’re a moderately talented freelancer. You have 4 main clients that all pay you around $2,500 a month. (That’s not too hard to achieve, even in your first few years of freelancing)
That’s $120,000 a year.
Now let’s say one of your clients has an extremely bad year and their sales drop by 40%. By no fault of your own, they have to drastically cut their budget.
Unfortunately, you’re on the chopping block.
That’s no fun at all, but your income has only dropped to $90,000 a year.
And you’ll more than likely replace that and get right back to where you were in the next few weeks.
Now let’s say you’re an employee with a $120,000 salary.
You’re a HUGE line-item on their budget. It’s not just your salary.
It’s the additional $25,000-$50,000 in government mandated benefits they MUST pay you.
If that company’s revenue goes down, “downsizing” is inevitable.
And if you get fired, you’re at $0 in income.
The math is simple
If you’re an employee, you’re always at risk of losing everything.
As a freelancer with multiple clients, it’s much more difficult to lose everything all at once.
Plus, the typical high income employee pays 37% of their income in taxes. It just disappears – poof –it never comes back.
But freelancers very often pay more like a 15-20% effective tax rate.
So not only do freelancers make more money on average, they pay FAR less in taxes. (I’ll show you how in a minute).
Now let’s look at it from the employer side.
It’s just a simple fact that employees are expensive.
It costs as much as $170,000 for a $120,000 employee? It’s infuriating.
Then if the company does end up having to fire an employee for any reason, they have to hold their breath and wait to see if they sued for discrimination.
They have none of those headaches with freelancers.
Clients are happy to pay you a higher wage while you’re working because they’re saving so much on benefits…
You’re more likely to be a self-motivated and self-directed person…
And there’s way less risk if they ever feel like they need to stop working with you.
It’s a win-win arraignment.
And more and more companies are waking up to this fact.
Which is why freelancing is absolutely exploding right now.
And that’s good news for you – if you’re a hard worker and want to get paid what you’re worth.
This is the clearest path to a more free future that I can see right now.
Which is why I took all the skills and secrets I learned building my own million dollar freelance career into a brand new course I’ve just released called…
Breaking Free: How To Build A High Income Freedom Career
My goal is to help you break free of the stupid limitations that are holding back your income and your freedom.
Now look, I can’t promise that you’re going to make a million dollars.
I’ve met homeschool moms who make $12,000 extra a year working 2 hours a week as a freelancer…
And I know a freelancer who make well over $4 million a year but rarely see his family.
There are freelancers who live like kings on $75,000 a year in Viet Nam…
And there are freelancers who have standard middle class lives on $200,000 a year in NYC.
The most amazing part of a freelance life is that YOU are in control.
If you need to make more money for a while, you can go pick up more clients and work harder.
If you want to travel around the world, you can scale back for a few weeks or months.
It’s One of The Only Careers Where You Are Fully In Charge Of Your Own Destiny.
Now, I can’t get clients for you, or cut you a check myself.
What I can do is give you every secret I’ve discovered to get you closer to the end where you make absurd amounts of money for the fewest possible hours.
And that’s what I strove to do with Breaking Free.
I’m going to be there to walk you through every critical moment and decision you have as a freelancer.
The course is broken into 4 modules.
Module 1:
Launching Your Freedom Career
There’s one thing that holds most folks back from jumping into what could be a much higher paying, much more liberating freelance career.
They don’t believe they have anything unique to offer.
I understand this instinct. Without a little help, it’s hard to see what makes you unique.
But the fact is, you are unique.
And you don’t have to be a genius or once in a generation talent to get clients who will pay you tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
You just have to..
And that’s what I show you how to do in this module.
I have two exercises that help turn you into a category of one.
I walk you step-by-step through my unique process of discovering and marketing YOUR skill stack in a way that NOBODY else in the world can replicate.
You might need to go through this module 2 or 3 times.
Plus, it’s a really good idea to share your “skill stack” and “viral pitch” with the community so they can help you refine them.
Then you’re ready to move on to the second module.
Module 2:
Landing Your Perfect “ELF” Client
All freelancers want clients. Which makes sense because clients are how you get money.
But there’s a big difference between ELF clients and HACK clients.
ELF stands for easy, lucrative, and fun.
These clients appreciate your work. They give you autonomy on projects assuming that you, as the expert, know the best way to do the job. And they pay you what you’re worth.
HACK clients are the opposite. They’re Hard, Annoying, Cheap, Know-it-alls.
These are clients who think because they’re paying you, you should be at their beck and call. They don’t value you work and want to get “their money’s worth.” And they want to tell you exactly how to do your job.
Now, a lot of freelancers take on HACK clients because they need to pay the bills. Then they’re constantly stressed and always chasing down clients to actually pay their invoices.
That’s not what the freelance life should be like.
Luckily, you don’t have to settle for HACKs.
This module is all about landing “your perfect client.”
So I show you how to land ELF client who value you and your work.
These are they clients who could pay you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your relationship.
In these videos, I’ll reveal:
Then, it’s time for the real secret sauce to a high income freelance career.
Module 3:
Becoming Indispensable
Look, if you’ve ever gotten a job, you can get a client. Getting the right “ELF” client takes a little more work.
But if you want to keep a client, if you want to make that client so happy he pays you astronomical rates and can’t ever imagine replacing you…
Then you NEED to understand client management.
There’s nothing that locks-in high pay and client security more than PROVING to them that they need you.
It’s completely ethical – in fact, it’s how the free market should work – but if you can prove to client after client that they need you…
That their business would be significantly worse off if they let you slip through their fingers…
Then you’re going to have a long and prosperous freelance career.
And that’s what I show you how to do in this module.
In this module I’ll walk you through…
Now, with these three modules, you have all you need to launch and build a successful freelance career.
You’ll be better positioned than 99% of other freelancers.
However, there’s more you can do.
To give you the best chance I can to scale your freelance business to $500,000 or more a year, I created my final module:
Module 4:
Maximizing Your Income
Now, I have to warn you, this module isn’t for everyone.
Unless you’re a savant at what you do, you’re not going to get to $500,000+ in your first couple years as a freelancer.
BUT, you can lay the groundwork to get yourself to that level after a few years.
And that’s my purpose with these videos.
It took me 8 years to break the half a million dollar income mark. Then another 3 years to get to 7 figures.
However, if you know the steps to take – and the mistakes to avoid - you may be able to get to there much fast.
Now, naturally, I have some extremely valuable bonuses I’ll tell you about in a second.
However, with these four modules I’m imparting all my knowledge to you.
This is everything I’ve learned about launching and scaling a freelance career to 7-figures in income.
Now, I could have kept these secrets to myself and continued on with my freelance career.
Or I could have packed up, moved to Mexico, and lived like a king, working just a couple hours a week. However...
I created this course as a small step in a much larger plan
See, I may be crazy (Check that – I know I’m at least a little crazy)
But I’ve been traveling around the country and talking to people through my podcast and emails…
And I see two things happening.
First, more folks than ever are waking up to the fact that we’re ruled by a class of wannabe totalitarians. These “rulers” do not have our best interests at heart.
Second, there’s a craving for true liberty like I’ve never seen before.
I believe that means we could soon see a real, powerful liberty movement take hold in this country like we haven’t seen since our founding.
It’s an exciting prospect.
And as much as I’d like be a modern day George Washington – that just ain’t me.
I don’t have the knowledge or leadership skills to head up a movement like that.
But what I can do is help create an army of people who are truly disconnected from the machine…
I can give you the tools to safeguard yourself and your income…
I want to put you in a position where there’s absolutely no way for them to punish you at all for simply for thinking for yourself.
That’s why I created this business.
And the first step is to get your income out of their grasps.
The first step is Breaking Free.
Here’s Everything You Get With Breaking Free
First, this isn’t a drip course where you have to finish the previous lesson and pass some test before you get the next.
As soon as you secure your spot today, you get full access to all 4 modules.
Now, I recommend going through them in order. But you’re an adult. You can consume the material in whatever way works best for you.
Here's what's in each module:
Welcome and Introduction To Breaking Free
Module 1: Launching Your Freedom Career
Module 2: Landing Your Perfect "ELF" Client
Module 3: Becoming Indispensable
Module 4: Maximizing Your Income
These are the secrets I discovered for becoming a “legend” in your client’s mind. I can’t promise you’ll get to over a million dollars in income.
But what I can do in this module is walk you through the steps I took to get there.
But Wait! There’s More…
As I said, this course is continuously growing.
And there are topics that, while I’d happily swap strategies over a drink, they do actually require a level of expertise to teach them responsibly.
So, instead of teaching them myself, I paid literally thousands of dollars to hire the best of the best to teach them for me in bonus videos.
And the first bonus literally pays for the entire course for anyone who actually launches a freelance career.
How To Legally Save Thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of Dollars on Your Taxes
There is almost nothing I hate more than freely and fairly earning money…
Then getting a huge portion of it confiscated by the government so they can bomb poor children in Yemen.
Seriously, even if you don’t agree that taxation is theft… do you really think the federal government has a better sense of what to do with your money than you?
Well, you’re in luck. One of the primary benefits of freelancing is that you get to pay a WAY lower effective tax rate than most employees.
But you have to be careful. It doesn’t matter how much I hate the IRS, they can make your life hell.
And I have no interest in running headfirst into their buzzsaw.
Luckily, you don’t have to take much risk at all to save thousands… or tens of thousands… or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.
You just have to know the game and play by the rules. Not the rules they tell you. The rules they have written down in the fine print.
So in this bonus module, I hired Tax Lawyer Matthew Sercely to teach freelancers how to pay as little in taxes as you legally can.
Here’s the big secret. The US tax code is 26,000 pages long.
That means if you read a page a day, it would take you over 71 years to get through it.
But only about 1% of that tax code says what taxes you DO have to pay. The other 99% is all the ways you can get OUT of paying taxes.
And Matthew is an expert in saving freelancers and small business owners a boatload on taxes.
His average client saves around $5,000 each and every year in taxes. On the high end, he’s been able to help some high earners save as much as $190,000 a year.
So his insights in the 1 hour and 15 minute in-depth teaching are worth their weight in gold.
Now, another thing that holds folks back from taking the leap into a high income freelance career is company benefits. Specifically health care.
It’s no secret that our health insurance industry is hopelessly broken and corrupt.
However, there is hope. Which is why I sat down with another expert to reveal how freelancers can…
Get BETTER Healthcare As A Freelancer At A MASSIVE Discount!
One of the biggest myths that holds folks back from jumping into a freelance career is that you can’t get good, affordably priced healthcare.
It’s a totally reasonable concern.
Medical debt can get out of hand extremely quickly.
However, there’s a much better way to pay your medical bills than traditional insurance.
So in this bonus video with the CEO of a disruptive medical company…
You’ll discover how you can save up to 85%... that’s over $2000 per month… for the same or better coverage.
Now, this isn’t only for freelancers. If you’re an entrepreneur or even if you have a regular job and your premium is over $125 a month, this could end up being a literal lifesaver for you.
In fact, your savings in ONE MONTH could more than pay for the entire cost of the program.
And there’s still one MORE bonus I’m throwing in.
The Freelance Bible
Look, sometimes you just need a place to start.
And while, if you follow my plan, you’re going to launch a freelance career that’s not comparable to anyone else…
Sometimes it’s nice to know what other people are doing.
So I put together an entire book. I covers 50 of the most common freelance careers, what they entail, and how much they pay.
This is NOT meant to be a replacement for any of the lessons in the modules.
But it’s a great place to get your creative juices flowing – especially if you’re brand new to the world of freelancing.
You'll Also Get LIFETIME Access
To The Breaking Free Community
A huge part of building a successful freelance career is building a strong network. And other freelancers are a critical part of that network.
So to help jumpstart your network, I’m giving you instant, lifetime access to a large and motivated group of freelancers: other Breaking Free members.
Folks in this group are helping each other refine their skill stack, sharpen their viral pitch… and even helping each other get clients.
So it’s a powerful benefit, and it’s only getting better.
I Should Probably Charge An Arm And A Leg For This Course
But that might interfere with your freelance work.
Jokes aside, this is material I’ve never shared publicly before.
The only people who’ve gotten a glimpse at this prior to releasing this course were freelancers I personally mentored…
Or my coaching students who pay me $1,500 an hour.
Frankly, if I was motivated entirely by money, I would make this a super exclusive course for already established freelancers and charge like $6,000.
But my goal isn’t to make as much money as possible.
My Goal Is To Set People Free.
That way we have a fighting shot at seeing a real liberty movement take hold.
So I’m not charging anywhere close to $6,000 for Breaking Free.
However, I do want to make a living – and these are hard-won secrets I’ve learned over the course of a 15 year career.
So the price tag is going to be a little higher than most people are comfortable with.
Which is fine. I don’t want “most people.”
I want people who believe in the cause of liberty and are willing to invest in themselves.
So I’ve decided to charge $795 for LIFETIME access to Breaking Free.
As you can see, that’s a screaming good deal.
But I have to warn you, I do plan to raise the price sooner or later (probably sooner – I’m not a fan of giving away money).
So if you want lifetime access – including ALL the new lessons and modules I add to the course in the future at NO additional cost – you have to move quickly.
“As someone transitioning from a full-time job to freelancing, getting Breaking Free was a total no-brainer.
That’s because Henry is one of the few who truly mastered the highly lucrative skill of direct response copywriting AND, at the same time, was one of the most respected and highest paid freelancers in the game.
That’s why I was super stoked once I saw Henry release this course revealing all his success secrets!

- Jon Ryan
"I’m a huge admirer of Henry’s work. So much so, that I asked him to be a guest instructor on one of my Copy Cub Training Calls.
My copy cubs and I were blown away by the information Henry shared. I myself took 4 pages of notes. If you ever have an opportunity to learn from this man, grab it!"
- Parris Lampropoulos
"Henry has a very strategic way of looking at things. He has a great way of cutting to the chase and simplifying the decision for me so that I immediately see the next right move.
Not only that but he’s made me a ton of money over the years.
If you have a chance to work with Henry, take it. Not only will he save you from yourself, but he brings a unique perspective to the table based on years of experience in marketing, investing, freelancing and more.”
- Marcella Allison

- David Deutsch
Right Now, You Have Two Options
First, you can do nothing.
You can stay on the path you’re on.
You can continue to be underpaid and underappreciated.
And you can be boxed in to accepting the next mandate with no recourse.
Or, you can launch a thriving freelance career. You can work when you want, from where you want.
And you can put yourself in a position to give the finger to anyone who tries to make you comply with anything that doesn’t make a lick of sense.
Look, this isn’t quite as dramatic as choosing freedom or slavery. But it’s not too far off.
Breaking Free reveals all my secrets for launching a high income freedom career.
If you believe in the liberty movement, you don’t have to take this path, but seriously ask yourself if you’re on a path that truly leads to freedom.
If you want to choose freedom, click the button below and I’ll see you in the course.
