I’m rolling up on five years doing this freelance thing full time. Looking back at what’s gotten me to my goals, one thing’s started to stand out.

Yeah, habits are important, but what I’m talking about is relationships.

My relationship with long-term clients is what’s keeping my income steady.

My ongoing relationship with my niche is what establishes trust and helps me provide value.

My relationship with other freelancers is how I keep referrals coming in and developing my business in a healthy way.

Relationships are the foundation of your freelance business. That’s why I want to ask you a question…are you more focused on just yourself, or are you working to find a place in freelancing where you can make real, long-term connections?
