In the weeks since the scenario mentioned in one of my most recent posts, in which I discuss losing a client I was previously writing online articles for, I've managed to pick up two new clients.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that, combined, they won't be paying me a whole lot more per month than my former single client was paying me. Although, the work will not be as constant. So I guess I should look at it as "a little more money for about two-thirds the work," right?
Meanwhile, I keep plugging away at my fitness instructor training. I just found out this week that the goal is to have me on the schedule as an instructor beginning in August -- which gives me about a month and a half to pysch myself up for that. Kind of nervous about all of that, but I'm sure it will be fine once I get rolling.
Also, as far as my financial earnings goal for 2011 is concerned ... We're halfway through the year, and I'm coming up about $3,000 short of where I want to be for my yearly earnings. But I'm fairly confident I can make that up throughout the third and fourth quarters ...
I tell you what ... never did I imagine, when I was an undergrad, that the business side of freelancing would be so involved. But it is, and I don't mind it. As long as the companies eventually pay me!
