Working For Yourself

4 Key Numbers to Track Inside Your Freelance Business

What gets measured, gets managed.

But when it comes to finances, most freelancers treat them like a hobby instead of a business.

So here are 4 key numbers to track inside your freelance biz every month:

1) Revenue
2) Expenses
3) Profit
4) Cash reserves

Now, this is far from an exhaustive list…

But if your current approach is simply to check your business bank account from time to time and make sure it’s not empty, this a great place to start.
