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!
When was the last time you reached out to that freelance friend and let them know you were open for work?
It might feel a little weird, but people have knowledge and connections you don’t...and they also aren’t always keeping you top of mind. So sometimes they need a reminder.
Don’t be scared to shoot of a “Hey! How’s it been? Just wanted to ask if you knew about any prospects that might need some support” (or something similar). You never know what doors it’ll open up!
