Deliberate Freelancer

It’s time for my analysis and reflection on how my third quarter of the year went.  Here’s what I share with you in this episode: The many ways tracking my time helps my business.  How I use Freshbooks and Toggl to help me analyze my progress.  The steps I use to analyze my quarter:  Calculated how much I invoiced for that quarter. Counted how many clients I worked for.  Used time tracking data to see how many hours I worked on average each week.  Did the math to see how much I earned per hour on certain projects by dividing the project rate by the hours it took to complete. Reflected and analyzed. The amount of money I earned in Q3 and how it compared to Q2 and my goals.  How a delayed Indiana vacation derailed my schedule. How many clients I had in Q3 and the types of clients they were. How much I earned on certain article assignments.  Anchor clients versus rock steady clients versus confetti clients.  How I landed several of these clients.  How was your third quarter? Have you hit your annual revenue
