Leaders,

We just released our Freelance Trend Tracker Quarterly Results for Q1 of 2024.

Each quarter, Freelance Trend Tracker reports on how leaders are feeling, how platforms are performing, and patterns for success.

What did we learn this quarter?

Business Performance…51% of freelance leaders are neutral or frustrated
Client Acquisition…56% of freelance leaders haven’t been successful at attracting clients
But confidence is high, as 85% of leaders are confident about the industry long term, and leaders trust their teams as 57% of freelance leaders are confident about their team

What does this mean? In today’s episode, Matthew breaks down 3 key takeaways you need to prioritize in your business.
