Deliberate Freelancer


Feb 23, 2023

I finally have had a moment to reflect on last year and look at my numbers. I reflect briefly, taking a qualitative look back, but this is mostly a quantitative look. 

Here’s what I share with you in this episode:

  • My 2023 income goal (big and audacious!)
  • My 2023 word of the year 
  • A reflection on how 2022 was for me
  • My Q4 recap, including an analysis of income and time tracking
  • My 2022 total income 
  • My weekly average number of hours worked last year
  • The number of weeks of vacation I took (and one sick week)
  • My number of clients and a reflection on “regular” clients vs. one-offs and anchor clients
  • Why I fired one “good” client
  • Six lessons learned—or gentle reminders I needed—from last year that might be helpful to you also
