There will be at least one client you’ve worked with before or now who would pay you $500k or more in lifetime value.
They don’t know that yet but they will. Who is a candidate for that in your roster? Make them feel so special that they work with you again and again and again.
It’s all about relationships, trust, being indispensable. That is the precursor for consistency, in revenue at least. Too many freelancers and small studios are trying so hard to try new methods to get more clients they neglect the ones they already have.
Something I try to evangelise - You don’t need 1,000 clients, 10 great partnerships is plenty to build a studio to $1m and 2-3 people and 100 would easily take agencies to 50.
Quality not quantity - been saying that since 2013 :)

‘Growth’ is vague. ‘Success’ is personal. But one thing’s universal ... momentum is what gets you there. I wrote the OG book on freelancing in 2014 (Stop Thinking Like a Freelancer) but apparentl a book is too much in 2025 so here's the summary 10 principles: 🧵
The market is noisier, faster, and more crowded. But the fundamentals haven’t shifted.
You still need clarity on where you're going.
You still need a message that resonates with clients.
You still need momentum… one small, meaningful win at a time.
Megabrief turns vague client ideas into ready-to-work briefs. In your brand, with your logo on your own subdomain.
This is how easy it is to train your own model for each client so they can brief you via chat rather than 'one-size' forms or rigid briefing templates.
What if designers had a second brain, always on, to capture briefs and key ideas from clients - fully equipped with that client’s brand guidelines and traits.
Then what if that agent could tidy that conversation into a brief and slot it into your workflow.
That’s Megabrief 💪
