#feastorfamine

First off, thank you for parting the kimono & allowing us this peek into your secret coven. I'm a freelancer who in the past year has worked with a few fairly big clients; the art was seemingly well received & I was polite & timely, but after a few jobs for these clients I haven't heard anything for a few months. Should I take their silence as an indicator that my work was not up to par or should I stop taking everything so personally & assume they're super busy & send them an email update?

Welcome to OVERTHINKING DAY! When we take a day to go thru the backlog of questions in our inbox and pick out all the ones where the asker is already answering their own question and just needs a friendly but firm “JUST DO IT ALREADY”.

A few months is nothing between projects! You’re totally overthinking it. Just keep sending out the promo emails every 3-4 months and work will come. Freelance is unpredictable, and often what we call “feast or famine”. One of the hardest parts of being freelance is saving up against the lean times and trying to get work to flow consistently. Just keep doing what you’re doing and improving your skills and don’t overthink it.

As a Creative, my schedule is usually a blend of photography & graphic design. There are some months such as the summer (May - July) that are typically very slow workwise and then you have the rest of the year (August - April) that my schedule remains fairly busy. But most times the tempo is in a phase or season that we have dubbed Feast or Famine. Hopefully you have heard the saying or know what it means.  In times when things are slow or when there isn't much business we call those times or consider those moments as a time of famine because there is little to do so there is little money to be made. Though we are not realistically starving there is no Bread(money) on the table. We tend to see these months as more difficult than others. We tend to have more free time on our hands than we would prefer. During these times we are constantly searching for new clients, projects or gigs. In times when things are progressing well and business is steady we call those times a time of Feast because there is good money to be made. There is "bread" on the table. During these times we can easily find ourselves in over our heads in projects or in  being of service to our clients as we attempt to satisfy their business needs. At times they contact us, one on top of the other. And the project is always needed yesterday. It is a time of feast because there's more than enough work to be had. These are those moments when you simply put your head down and plow through the necessary tasks and workload. We will even work through the night if needed to remain on task/point. Be it Feast or Famine or vice versa you must always remain on your toes. In times of Feast we must enjoy such gifts and remain thankful for our successes and prosperous endeavors. When we are in the peaks of our timeline we can experience great highs. It is here we must remain grounded as such times never last forever yet we can easily find the urge to splurge when times are good. In times of Famine or when things are slow we must remain focused and present as these are often tough times and can easily lead to downs or depressions in your timeline. #business #feastorfamine #lifesupsanddowns #hillsandvalleys (at DPomales Creative Services) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg9_pzZp8pt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
