How to Get More Freelance Clients With This One Simple Strategy
Too many freelancers give up the second you hear "no".
Shift your mindset to think instead, "What do I have to lose?"
It's one of the biggest transformations I see in students who go through my Flourishing Freelancer program.
Before joining the program, a lot of students meet with a potential client but lose out because of:
no follow up.
they don't push harder.
accepting client rejections at face value.
They left money on the table, essentially.
Now, they say to me:
"Kiri, you'd be so proud of me! The client said they decided to go in a different direction and I wrote back with the advantages of working with me, why we are a good match, etc. I figured, what do I have to lose?"
I didn't expect this when I started coaching. I thought I'd be helping people with cold pitches, becoming more visible or shifting into a business-owner mindset.
But this? This is more powerful.
Because when fear is no longer driving your decision, you:
show up stronger.
build resilience.
take initiative.
follow up.
"What do I have to lose?" translates into more clients and higher income. You start seeing that outcomes, both wins and losses, are yours to own.
And once you realize that? You stop waiting and you start winning.
Follow up! Over and over and over again until you get a hard not.
This is your livelihood, this is your income.
So, today, ask yourself: what do you have to lose?
And go after it!
