Key Takeaways
Increase your prices annually (at least 2-4%) to keep pace with inflation; otherwise, your income will effectively decrease.
Be willing to 'fire' clients who are unprofitable, slow-paying, too far out, or excessively demanding to maintain business health and personal sanity.
Invest in improving your business's advertising and branding, including your website, business cards, and especially your logo for a more professional image.
Leverage community Facebook groups for advertising; these can be highly effective for attracting new local clients.
Implement a robust CRM (like Eartha Pro) and accounting software (like WaveApps or QuickBooks) to track all aspects of your business, from income and expenses to client communications and scheduling.
Prioritize your family above business demands; your business supports your life, but your family is the core reason for your efforts.
Consider alternative income streams like Walmart Spark during the off-season to maintain financial stability and reduce stress on your primary business.
