This Is One of the Most Important Habits for Freelancers to Develop
I’m going to give you a piece of advice that can be the difference between success and failure for your freelance business:
Always get your projects done on time, on budget, with no excuses.
I remember being confused the first time a prospective client said, “Thanks for getting back to me.”
“Who are these people who don’t respond to email inquiries?” I wondered.
Who would have thought actually responding to emails and phone calls was a competitive advantage! New freelancers tend to give weight to things beyond their control, things like experience and skill level that can only be gained over time.
Yet, as time passes, responsiveness is the thing that will keep clients coming back and make your business sustainable.
So ask yourself these questions.
Consider the projects you already have. Are all of them on track? Will you be able to keep your word and meet the original deadline?
If the answer to the above question is no, then stop everything, beat all of your deadlines if it kills you, and protect your reputation.
It’s that simple.
The good news: there’s more help for your freelance business.
If you’re highly motivated right now to take your freelance career to the next level, then you should get my guide, “Get Better Freelance Clients.”
It’s got a 29-day action plan that will tell you exactly what to do, step by step.
I gathered up all of the strategies and tactics that helped me ramp up my freelance business and consistently earn $100,000+.
→ Then, I organized them all in roughly chronological order.
→ Then, I added clear instructions for each step.
→ Then, I added templates and other resources so that there’s zero guesswork.
When life is crazy — my wife and I have three kids, so yeah — you may realistically only be able to work on your business, not in your business, about 15 minutes per day.
You must make the most of that business development and marketing time!
So the key is focusing on what you can do (not on what you can’t) and finishing one small, specific action each day.
Today, that one specific action is getting Get Better Freelance Clients — 29-Day Action Plan.
