In 90 Days, Go From Invisible to Your Agencies'
Go-To Translator

Go-To Translator: 90-Day Sprint is a structured program for freelance translators who are ready to build a professional presence, optimize their profiles, and put a marketing system in place that actually works, so the right agencies start thinking of them first.

Join Go-To Translator

You have real skills.

You've been doing this long enough to know that you are good at what you do. But somewhere between having the skills and having a steady stream of quality work, there's a gap. And it's growing.

Maybe your LinkedIn profile does not quite reflect the professional you actually are. Maybe you haven't gotten around to setting up a proper business email. Maybe you know you should be marketing yourself more consistently, but every time you sit down to do it, you're not sure where to start or whether it's even working.

And if the first half of this year didn't go the way you planned, if the income was inconsistent, the marketing kept getting pushed aside, or you're just not where you hoped to be by the end of June, guess what. You're not alone. A lot of talented translators hit the mid-year mark feeling like they've been reacting instead of building.

Q3 is your reset. The program starts July 7. That's not a coincidence. It's a decision.

And underneath all of that is this quiet, frustrating feeling that you should be further along by now.

You don't need more information. You need a structure that moves you forward, week by week, with someone in your corner who has actually done this.

That is what Go-To Translator: 90-Day Sprint is built for.

  THE 90-DAY JOURNEY  

Here is what changes in 90 days:

MONTH 1

Get Visible

You set up your professional presence the right way, with a business name, professional email, optimized LinkedIn profile, and updated directory listings. Clients and agencies can find you. And when they do, they see someone who matches what they're looking for.

MONTH 2

Get Credible

You build the credibility signals that matter. Certification roadmap, specialized services, and a clear professional identity that tells agencies what you do and why you are the right choice. You stop looking like everyone else. You get the project offers directly, instead of the "Dear Linguist" emails that go out to the entire pool.

MONTH 3

Get Consistent

You've got a marketing system in place that you'll actually use. Your outreach tracker, connection strategy, and weekly rhythm will keep you visible even when you are busy with client work. The feast-or-famine cycle starts to break down.

  EVERYTHING INSIDE

What's included:

The DEEP Launch Curriculum

Four structured modules built on the DEEP Portfolio Formula — Diversify, Elevate, Expand, Prosper. Each module includes the exact resources you need to take action. No searching, no guessing. The right tool shows up exactly when you need it.

Weekly Wins Sessions

Every Friday morning, you show up for a short, focused session to share progress, troubleshoot obstacles, and stay accountable to the actions you have committed to. These sessions are the reason members actually follow through.

Monthly Group Coaching Call

One deeper call per month to work through strategy, challenges, and adjustments based on what is actually happening in your business. Less teaching, more doing.

Quarterly Masterclass

A deep dive into one specific topic each quarter: certification, specialization, LinkedIn strategy, or whatever your cohort needs most. Included in your membership at no extra cost.

The Bilingual Heroes Community

A private community of translators doing the same work alongside you. Not a group that never gets used. A real, active group of peers who understand what you are dealing with because they are dealing with it too.

🎯
If the first half of this year didn't hit your income targets, this is your reset. On Thursday, July 9, I'm running a live working session as our first Group Coaching Call: Build Your 90-Day Plan.
👥
We'll walk through your Freelance Business Self-Assessment together and you'll leave that call with your actual plan built. It's not a template; it's a real plan based on where you are right now, heading into the second half of the year.
🎥
This session is recorded for anyone who joins later, but being there live, building it alongside the rest of this first cohort, is something only this group gets to experience together.

  WHAT MEMBERS SAY

Real translators. Real results.

After working for more than 10 years as an in-house translator and interpreter, embarking on a freelance journey in a new country felt like a gigantic step. I did not know where to begin or how to create a roadmap. That all changed the day I joined the Bilingual Success Academy Program.

Many language professionals believe the key to growth is simply getting more clients, but what I learned through this program is that the real game-changer lies in diversifying your services, even with just one client.

What makes the experience truly unique is Catharine herself. She is not only a coach but also a mentor, a cheerleader, and an active listener.

— Winnie Engola, Freelance Translator-Interpreter, English / French

I have been a Bilingual Success Academy member for several months, and it has been a game-changer in preparing to launch my freelance business. One of the best parts is the sense of community and accountability, something that is often sorely lacking for freelancers. The Weekly Wins sessions help me get clarity and stay on track with my goals.

We go further when we journey together. Give yourself the gift of community and accountability by joining Bilingual Success Academy now.

— Kara Stelfox, C. Tran., Certified Translator FR-EN

 

Signing up with Bilingual Success Academy was my best business decision in a year that brought a precipitous decline in translation revenue. Through Catharine I learned how and why the industry was changing and have taken steps to reorient my business.

Catharine's Weekly Wins and monthly group coaching sessions allow participants to celebrate our movement toward our goals and provide a forum for Catharine and the group members to share tips, leads and resources. I can't recommend this program enough.

— Clare Thorbes, Certified Translator FR-EN

  ABOUT CATHARINE

 

Built by a translator,
for translators.

I stumbled into translation the way a lot of great things happen — sideways. I sat in a Starbucks with a borrowed laptop, translated a menu in an hour, got paid 100 pesos, and thought: this is it.

That was over 19 years ago. Since then, I've built a freelance practice across translation, interpretation, and editing, passed my certification exams on the first try, and served on the boards of ATINS and CTTIC. A few years ago, I trained as a professional coach because I kept watching talented translators struggle with the exact problems I had already figured out.

Go-To Translator is built on what actually works. Not theory. These are the practical steps I used in my own business and have coached others through inside BSA.
