Bummer that FreshBooks is taking another price increase - they took one in March 2024 too. Total increase of 27% with no material change to the offering.

I had a great time chatting with @meledits.bsky.social on her Deliberate Freelancer podcast! Check it out if you have an interest in freelancing and/or you need a break from your doom-scrolling.
In good news, a new episode of Deliberate Freelancer is out! Thanks to my awesome guest, Matthew Fenton, who shares how to think about fractional roles as a solo biz owner—and then we talk about the need to focus on your craft. It's not all about branding/marketing; you also have to do great work.
