Ever wondered why some businesses thrive when things are tough while others struggle even during seemingly manageable challenges?

It's called the Region-Beta Paradox and holds an important lesson for entrepreneurs.

Let's break it down.

@remoteoliver How does it work sending proposals, when they aren’t allowed to access my personal account as per upwork T&Cs?

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@TaylorAGreen1 You got an agency?

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@remoteoliver Not a negative comment - was just highlighting the pain we share in the UK right now with UpWork conversions! Hopefully exchange rate goes back up for us 🤣

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@AnthonyCJames Cancelled my account last year after growing it quite a bit. Be keen to see how you get on!

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@Upwork And then closing the project and getting 5 star feedback

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@AnthonyCJames What’s the benefits after you’ve found?

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

This cleared it up for me - I'll be selective on jobs I guess:

How and when will I see the Freelancer Service Fee I’ll pay on a contract?

You’ll see the percentage when you’re creating your proposal in the bid calculator, so you’ll be able to adjust your rate if needed. If you receive a direct offer from a client, you’ll see the fee percentage and amount in the payment details section of your offer. Additionally, the percentage is always visible in the contract details section of the workroom and will continue to appear on your transaction summaries.

@remoteoliver Speak to @rjoensk on AC, he will sort it out for you

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@AnthonyCJames my biggest deal last year came from an initial paid consulation which turned into a multi-stage project which is still on-going now. It's a great resource.

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@AnthonyCJames Congrats!

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@remoteoliver HP?

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

The @Upwork notifications feature has been a fantastic update.

This year alone, it’s helped me secure two new clients by informing me about new opportunities. 30 connects a month for it is a no-brainer!

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@UpworkSaves @Upwork Declined 90% because of this,

Would usually respond to 50%

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@UpworkSaves I get these a lot, can you get refunds on them?

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@JoshBurnsTech big fan of that keyboard, it's having a party

[Liam @MrLiamSanders]

@rjoensk Yeah I'm not moving to Spain now
