Every month we run through a series of questions to help you run your freelance business like a bigger business — “self-coaching” your way to better results and a better life.
Hey! Happy COO month!
Since you’re the Chief Operating Officer of your freelance business, this month is a good one for taking notes. We’re covering operations…what you do, and how to make it better. And this week, we’re talking tech.
You’re busy wearing a lot of different hats in your freelance business, so you might not think too much about how your technology decisions impact your outcomes, but trust…they matter.
Are you checking your tech?
The CRM that you used when you first started working might no longer fit your needs.
You might have invested too much in a design program and might benefit from scaling back.
New, more affordable proofing solutions might have come out since you last checked.
Especially since we’re sitting at the end of the year and there are lots of deals floating around (and you might have some down time to transition) now is a great time to ask whether you should consider switching anything up.
Take inventory of the platforms you use, rate how well they’re working for you, and just take one…maybe two to rethink for 2022.
…and if you’re looking for input from people who might’ve used the platforms you’re interested in, come by the Academy boards and let’s talk it out!
