Let me take you behind the scenes of Fiercely Freelance in 2022. In this final episode of the podcast for the year, I share a frank account of my year, reviewing and reflecting on my business journey including the lessons and the wins along the way. 

2022 was very much a year of two halves – in January my main client gave notice on our retainer and I spent the first half of the year scrabbling about for cash. By July, I’d taken on some part-time work to get my business back in the black, and since, have started to book more and more clients! 

I’m finishing the year feeling extremely happy for everything that the year taught me, and confident in the knowledge that I’m exactly where I need to be (and want to be) going into 2023.

Listen in to the episode to hear about:

• Why pivoting my business in 2021 created lots of unrest in 2022
• The true price of trialling and testing lots of products and offers
• My decision to take on a part-time job alongside my business
• How niching down has helped me grow
• My big wins of the year
• What I won’t be doing in 2023
• What I’ll be doing differently, and more of, in 2023!

I’d also like to take a moment here to thank you for listening to the podcast and supporting me this year – wishing you a very Happy New Year love! 🥳

The Year of the Gaslighter by CJ Hopkins - https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-year-of-the-gaslighter

We are nearly at the end of the year, so your friendly, local podcast crew is trying to make sense of just what happened in 2022.

We started the year on a venture capital high which quickly turned into a downturn. Startups kicked off the year hiring and wrapped the year shedding staff. The stock market kept going down. A crypto winter kicked off. We saw some PE deals but very few IPOs. And the world saw a bit more geopolitical upheaval than we might have anticipated.

There were elections and shutdowns and frauds and mistakes and big wins. It was, well, a lot.

Thankfully Mary Ann, Natasha, and Alex were able to collate the news into a few distinct categories, so that we can all look back at 2022 with a bit more clarity. And we even got to hear from a bunch of you, thanks to your dozens and dozens of great taglines you sent in concerning the year and how it felt from your chair.

We have even more good stuff coming, including our yearly predictions episode. Get hype, and we'll talk to you soon!

Equity drops at 7 a.m. PT every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts. TechCrunch also has a great show on crypto, a show that interviews founders, one that details how our stories come together, and more!

It's the last episode of 2022, which means it's time for everyone's favourite format at this time of year: the annual review.

Do you review the ups and downs of the previous year? Do you set goals for the following year? We don't need to get too corporate about it, but since we don't have a boss to do a performance review, we have to do our own.

In this episode, I share my review process, reflect on 2022 and share three wins and three not-so-wins.

You'll also hear how I'm setting my goals for 2023 and how my business will have to change as a result. 

Until next year, happy freelancing!
