I’m excited about Bluesky! Are you on the platform too? Let’s create a Deliberate Freelancer starter pack — more on that in this episode — but follow me at @MelEdits.

On today’s show, I share five questions to help you wrap up your year to create a “fresh start” in January. I explain the difference between these five questions and larger questions to ask yourself later in a solo business retreat to set up your year for success.

The five questions are:

  1. What do I need to do now to line up work in January?
  2. What do I need to do to wrap up the year?
  3. Do I need to raise rates or fire anyone?
  4. Where do I need to improve my marketing and networking?
  5. How much money did I make this year?

What I Learned This Week:

Your standing desk isn’t making you any healthier: https://wapo.st/3ApawfD
