#160: The Dreaded Feast or Famine!

Deliberate Freelancer

On today’s show, I discuss how I found myself in the dreaded “famine” part of the feast-or-famine cycle and what I’m trying to do about it.

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

• A few tips when you’re in the “feast” phase.
• How to tell clients no — and turn down work when you’re too busy.
• My three-pronged approach to get out of the famine stage.
• The importance of figuring out where your potential clients are and getting involved in that space.
• The upcoming Content Marketing World, which will be outside Cleveland, Ohio, for the first time. It will be held in Washington, DC, September 27-28, 2023.
• The importance of my Always Be Marketing rule.
• Asking yourself big picture questions surrounding “how did I get stuck in this famine stage?”
