How Freelancers Can Use a Client Dependency Ratio
from Freelance Careers with Fexingo: Independent Work, Consulting, and Self-Employment · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how freelancers can calculate their Client Dependency Ratio — the percentage of income coming from a single client. Using the example of a freelance UX designer who discovered one client accounted for 60% of her revenue, they discuss why a dependency ratio above 40% is a warning sign, how to set a diversification timeline, and why a slow pipeline can be more dangerous than a low rate. They also share a three-step action plan: audit your last six months of invoices, set a maximum dependency threshold, and proactively build relationships with three new potential clients. A practical episode for any freelancer who wants to reduce risk without sacrificing income. #FreelanceCareers #ClientDependencyRatio #FreelanceRisk #Diversification #IncomeStability #FreelanceBusiness #Consulting #SelfEmployment #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #FreelanceTips #ClientConcentration #RevenueRisk #FreelanceStrategy #IndependentWork #FinancialResilience Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
