The Painfully Obvious Reason Most Freelancers Are Broke
from Pretty Philosophical · host Pretty Philosophical with Denée Seaton
For years, I believed freelancing felt unstable due to the industry, market, and clients. However, the real issue was offering $300 packages to people unwilling to pay that amount, leaving me puzzled about why $10K months felt out of reach. In this video, I reveal the painfully obvious reason most freelancers remain stuck. It's not about mindset or confidence; it's about math, and almost no one is doing it right. If you're freelancing full-time, side-hustling, or trying to earn a living from your skills, this 5-minute brainstorm will change everything. The only reason it's not working is that your numbers don't add up. 0:00: The 2 reasons freelancers stay broke1:26: Why I couldn't hit $10K months2:24: What "the math" actually means4:53: How to rethink your service8:39: How to rethink your pricing11:04: What changed when I did the math13:49: Ranting #freelancing #freelancers #pricing #math #10Kmonths #service #broke See show notes: https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/68793af8fb8b2a19450a336c Learn more about your ad choices.
