#21: How to "Fire" Clients and Find the Right Anchor Clients – Melanie Padgett Powers

I'm sooo excited about this one!

Melanie Padgett Powers, a freelance writer, editor, and podcaster based in Washington, D.C., talks about work-life clarity, structuring work days, firing clients, anchor clients, marketing, time tracking, pricing strategies, and solo business retreats.

As you can see, we covered a lot of topics and I hope you'll find our conversation helpful!

Takeaways:

• Consider your clients' preferences and needs when determining your content strategy.
• Avoid working for free as much as possible, but consider pro bono work for causes you believe in.
• Contentment in your business can come from focusing on the work you enjoy and not feeling pressured to scale up.
