As a freelancer, there’s nothing more terrifying than that feast or famine panic that sets in when things go quiet.
Whether it’s over the Christmas period or coming up to a quiet month, no one likes the feelings that come when there’s not work flowing in.
You want to be booked up and busy, maybe even take time off for your own sanity and enjoy the life part of the work-life balance you’ve built. Shocking, I know!
When client work flows, its amazing. Until it stops.
As a freelancer, its a literal thrill riding those highs. Clients flowing in without effort, work coming out the wazoo and everything just seems to be clicking.
But the moment you can see a quiet month up ahead, or worse, in the middle of one, panic sets in and all bets are off.
There’s something truly daunting about finding yourself with all the capacity and creativity and none of the clients.
It can easily send even the most confident of freelancers in a tailspin, contemplating throwing in the towel and applying for the nearest barista job.
You might be sitting there thinking…
I used to get it the worst around the Christmas period when I knew my usual cash cow clients were going on holiday or closing up shop for sometimes a month or so. I’d worry they wouldn’t come back to me in the new year, or if I’d even be able to keep my freelance business running over those quiet few months.
It doesn’t have to be like this! By taking action now, you can…
… start booking in clients now for work to be done in the new year and get paid upfront before the year ends.
… grab that extra serve of client work you may have not gotten if it wasn’t for your forward thinking and taking action.
…stack your plate with quality work to kick off the new year, maybe even take Christmas off knowing you’ve got zero money worries.
I can tell you right now, it’s possible to make it happen, but you can’t wait until December when it’s too late!
