#204: January and February By the Numbers


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I recap what my business looked like in January and February. This includes:

  • Why I got a slow start to 2025. 
  • Why I’ve been focusing only on current clients and not marketing.
  • How much I earned in January and February.
  • How much I worked in January and February.
  • The number of clients I did and the types of work.
  • How I’m thinking about so-called “low-paying clients.”
  • How I offered two options in a proposal for a new client. 
  • What self-care means to me. 
  • How I’m playing around with ChatGPT.
