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 alsoBiz Bite: Overestimate your time for deep work
