Are you worried about what the current economic situation might mean for your business? If so, please know you are not alone.
In this solo episode, I share the questions I'm considering to prepare my freelance business for economic disruption, including:
- How is the downturn affecting my niche?
- Should I change my services?
- Should I raise or lower my rates?
- How can I bring in more work if needed?
- How can I make my business more financially resilient?
- What are the potential upsides of an economic downturn for freelancers?
Our financial situations and businesses may be different (I'm not a financial advisor and this isn't financial advice), but hopefully this will spark some ideas to consider for yourself.
