#153: My 2022 and Q4 Audit and Six Lessons from Last Year
I finally have had a moment to reflect on last year and look at my numbers. I reflect briefly, taking a qualitative look back, but this is mostly a quantitative look.
Here’s what I share with you in this episode:
- My 2023 income goal (big and audacious!)
- My 2023 word of the year
- A reflection on how 2022 was for me
- My Q4 recap, including an analysis of income and time tracking
- My 2022 total income
- My weekly average number of hours worked last year
- The number of weeks of vacation I took (and one sick week)
- My number of clients and a reflection on “regular” clients vs. one-offs and anchor clients
- Why I fired one “good” client
- Six lessons learned—or gentle reminders I needed—from last year that might be helpful to you also
