You know that massive to-do list in your head?
All those things you're "supposed" to do as a freelancer?
New website. Social media content calendar. Cold outreach. Warm outreach. Lead magnets. Funnels. Pricing revamp. Recurring revenue package. Portfolio update.
It's overwhelming as hell.
And oh by the way, 99% of that list doesn't matter right now.
Because your income isn't capped by all those things.
It's capped by ONE thing.
One bottleneck.
This is something called the Theory of Constraints, and it's the simplest framework I've ever seen for giving yourself a raise as a freelancer.
Your business has exactly ONE constraint holding you back right now.
Maybe it's time (you're booked solid but can't take on more clients).
Maybe it's lead generation (nobody knows you exist).
Maybe it's sales (you get inquiries but can't close them).
Maybe it's your average client value (everyone's worth $1,000 when they should be worth $5,000).
Maybe it's fulfillment (clients leave unhappy and never refer you).
Once you identify that ONE constraint and fix it, you get a raise.
Sometimes a massive one, like 20%, 30%, even 50%+ in a year.
Then a new constraint pops up. You fix that one.
Yay, you just got another raise!
It's literally whack-a-mole with your income, except every time you whack one you make more money.
In this episode, I walk you through:
This is one of those episodes where if you actually apply what's in it, you'll look back in 6-12 months and realize it changed everything.
