One client = 60% of revenue.

That's not a client. That's a job with extra steps and no benefits. 🥚

Diversify the basket!

[Simartapps @simartapps]

Same rate as 2022 = ~14% pay cut today.

Not raising prices isn't loyalty to clients. It's a tax on your future self. 🌡️

One well-built proposal template: 1 hour to make.

Saves: ~50 hours/year.

Systematize!

Freelancing isn't a long-term career path.

It's a bridge to something else: productized services, agency, SaaS, consulting.

Use freelancing to learn what people need. Then build something that scales beyond your hours.

If a stranger can't tell what you charge in 10 seconds,

you're discounting yourself with every conversation.

Public pricing is a filter, not a risk. 🧱

Your network is your net worth.

Not because of the money (though that helps).
Because of the opportunities, introductions, and collaborations that come from knowing people who get what you're doing.

Invest in relationships early.
