There’s always another client

I went full-time with my web design and marketing agency in 2015 after years of freelancing on the side.

Since then, my profit has more than quadrupled and continues to grow each year.

And yet, there’s always been this feeling of not knowing where my next client will come from. It’s something I always worried about and frankly probably always will. At least to some degree.

But here’s what I’ve noticed: I may not know when or where my next client will come from, but they always show up. 

I’ve made the mistake in the past of sticking with less-than-ideal-fit clients for longer than I should have. It was always a decision made out of fear that I wouldn’t easily replace that income.

But the funny thing is, I always managed to replace them with someone much better after I inevitably parted ways. Every single time.

Your business needs turnover.

It’s scary, yes. But if you take your lessons and apply them to selecting the right clients next time, you’ll find that when one door closes, many more (better ones) open.

Trust yourself to make it work.
