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. (Due to a recent loss in my family, this is from last month, but the fresh ones will be up soon...thanks for you patience.)
What do you do when business runs dry?
I hit a bump like that just this past week...and it surprised me a bit. It honestly hasn’t happened in a few years.
But I’ve learned some lessons.
Instead of panicking, I reached back and pulled out some tips on what to do when you need to get business moving again...and that’s what we’re covering this month.
If you’ve got any questions, just shoot a response to this email or stop by the boards. Let’s go!
#2 Circle around to old clients
I keep a folder of past clients for this exact reason.
While you might’ve parted ways for a good reason (I keep track of this too), things change. Sometimes businesses branch out, pivot, or bring on entirely new people.
So when your cashflows slow down, it might be time to spin the block and see where new opportunities might’ve popped up.
