#168: My Q2 Audit: It Can Only Go Uphill from Here, Right?
Manage episode 378867387 series 2757814
On today’s show, I analyze how the second quarter of the year went for me. It’s delayed because of my summer hiatus, but the “delay” doesn’t really mean anything to listeners — just think of it as “how these three months in a row went.” Learn how many clients I had, how much I earned, and how many hours I worked.
Here’s what I share with you in this episode:
- A quick update on a project I talked about in Q1.
- A sneak peek into something I figured out for my health in Q3.
- What was a huge mental health game-changer for me in Q2.
- How many clients I had and how much money I earned in Q2.
- Why cash flow is critical (hint: an issue with a significantly delayed payment).
- How many hours I worked per week on average in Q2 — and how that compares to past quarters.
- Two examples of how time tracking was helpful in Q2.
