On today’s show I discuss the rough start to 2025 and share my 2024 end-of-year review, which includes:
- My gross and net income for 2024
- My expenses for 2024
- My income goals and whether I hit those each quarter
- How I landed a new client
- How many hours I worked
- The importance of vacations, mental health days, spontaneous days off, and staycations
- A client mistake I made — you would think I’d know better by now!
- Clients I lost for 2025
