like taking an extra month off...

and still making more than ever? Last week, I mentioned that I had good news and bad news, {NAME}.  The bad news is that I need 2 really strong months in November and December to reach my financial goal of $240,000 in revenue this year.  And while that’s not impossible, it’s going to be a challenge.  But the good news is that it also looks like I’m more-or-less certain to make at least $230,000 this year. And that will beat [my previous record]( by a good amount.  Plus even better, I’m also on track to work far fewer hours this year, too.  Which is what I want to share with you today.  See, it took me 1,200 hours of work to set my previous revenue record.  But this year, I’m on track to work just 1,124 hours.   And if that projection holds up, it means I will work 76 fewer hours this year.  To put that in perspective, working 76 fewer hours is like taking nearly an extra 2 full weeks of vacation with an 8-hour workday…  Or if you work roughly 4 hours a day like I do, saving 76 hours is practically like taking an extra month off.  Which means this year, I will make the most money I’ve ever made (by far)…  And I will do it all while effectively taking an extra month of vacation. (On top of my already relaxed schedule.)  So that doesn’t suck.  And it’s all possible because I’ve been able to optimize my business to make more money for every hour I spend working.  You can see that reflected in my effective hourly rate for the year. Right now, I’m projecting it to be roughly $219.   Which means for each and every hour I spend working, I’m pulling in an extra 43 bucks compared to the year when I set my previous revenue record. Which may not seem like a lot at first…  But when you multiply $43 by the thousand-plus hours that I will work this year, it adds up fast.  And with that, you’ve seen my latest numbers for Q3 for [all 3 metrics I use to measure the success of my business](.  Until next week,  -Brian [Unsubscribe]( | [Edit your details]( Freelance Like A Pro PO Box 281 Bloomingdale New Jersey 07403 United States [Powered By Kartra] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
