On today’s show I share my structure, agenda and my action plan developed during my most recent solo business retreat. Here’s what I share with you in this episode: Please leave a rating and review for Deliberate Freelancer on Apple Podcasts or any other podcast platform.  Why I chose Thomasville, Georgia, for my latest solo business retreat. How I structured my retreat and my theme for the two days. What happened when I stopped consistently following my Always Be Marketing rule. How Austin Church’s podcast Freelance Cake helped me. The two big questions I asked myself as I started my retreat.  How I evaluated my best income months from 2022 and built lessons and action around what worked in those months. How I created a list of top-level services that bring in money and are services I enjoy — so I can focus on getting work in those areas first.  The two areas I am focusing on as part of the new marketing strategy and action plan I created.  Biz Bite: Let an app do your errands The Bookshelf: “The Verifiers” by Jane Pek Resources: Join the Deliberate Freelancer Facebook group.  Support Deliberate Freelancer at Buy Me a Coffee.
