I’m excited about Bluesky! Are you on the platform too? Let’s create a Deliberate Freelancer starter pack — more on that in this episode — but follow me at @MelEdits.
On today’s show, I share five questions to help you wrap up your year to create a “fresh start” in January. I explain the difference between these five questions and larger questions to ask yourself later in a solo business retreat to set up your year for success.
The five questions are:
- What do I need to do now to line up work in January?
- What do I need to do to wrap up the year?
- Do I need to raise rates or fire anyone?
- Where do I need to improve my marketing and networking?
- How much money did I make this year?
