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!

It looks like we’ve got a really volatile year ahead of us…but I’m confident that new opportunities are going to come out of it for freelancers. Mostly because our agility allows us to respond to change better than your average worker—but also because it’s going to be even harder to maintain and improve our quality of life in many ways over the coming years.

And while navigating all that requires specific tactics, it’s impossible to know exactly which to apply if we don’t have an extremely clear vision for ourselves and for our businesses. So this month, for our Income and Assessment, I’m posing four questions to answer in the face of big changes. 

#3 What does your business need to reach your lifestyle goals?

So last week I mentioned cutting back on spending…but at the same time, I don’t think you should compromise on your lifestyle goals. 

The question you’ll need to answer is how to make this happen. 

The hard part is that you might need to be more flexible in how you see your business than you have been in the past. I know we can get stuck in the idea of our business looking a certain way—offering a specific service, serving a specific niche, feeling a specific kind of passion…or it aligning with a certain version of ourselves. Those are fine, but as the world changes, sometimes our businesses need to change too. 

If you’re stuck on this one and need help resetting your vision, come let me know in the BF Mastermind Facebook group!
