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. You can view a condensed version of this month’s coaching prompts here.  

Hey! 

We’re all dealing with a ton of change in our freelance fields, so we’re going to kick the year off with a few questions to clean house...making space for success and growth even as the ground’s shifting underneath us.  

Work through these this month, and remember that it’s also Income and Assessment month, so you can update your own form, or download the template herek.  

# 1 Should I drop any clients? 

Now is a great time to ask if there are any clients dragging your business down.  

It might be because of low rates, high stress, or something you just don’t enjoy doing.  

Remember though that you don’t have to do it immediately. You can gradually work to find replacement income...and then start letting that client know you’ll be scaling back your involvement.  

If you’re having a hard time taking that step, know that that bad or mediocre client is taking up space from a great one...every day.  

If you want some help walking through it, come by the Academy boards and let’s talk it out.
