I help marketing freelancers automate their business in ClickUp so they can reclaim their time, freedom and make MORE money! 💸
the antidote to waiting on your client
|
Client bottlenecks be gone 🪄 Did I mention that I live in Northern Ontario? Winter has been WINTERING hard up here. Even though it feels like it's been winter forever, its only January 22nd... 😩 But I am still trying to get caught up from the holidays with one of my clients. What do you do if one of your clients is being a bottleneck, Reader? Especially when you know they aren't doing it on purpose. But you can't just sit there and collect those retainer dollas without doing anything. 🫠 I know first hand how quickly a monthly line item gets cut from the balance sheet when its no longer needed. Or if you're hourly... how do you bill if there's nothing to do? TBH I think this is one of those freelancer skills that can only come with experience. With every single client, I am ALWAYS thinking of ways to add more value, to make their life easier, to get better results. This makes it easy to either upsell them on more work, or just stay on the payroll by proving my worth. And it just so happens that my SOLUTION to this bottleneck problem also beautifully illustrates the third and final quick-hit way to make your ClickUp BETTER in 2025! ⬇️ Consolidated Views 👀 These little babies are ClickUp's most underrated superpower, I swearrrr. Its how you make every single thing you do for your clients easier by creating exactly the solution you need, but then having a way to bring all of that information together so you aren't clicking here there and everywhere all the time. This is the beginning of your most productive workspace. (You're welcome.) PS-I was so excited to use my new USB microphone until I realized it was turned the wrong way and now it sounds 💩 so pls enjoy
Do you already use consolidated views? Or is this a solution for something you'd like to make easier? Reply back with your use-cases, I am dying to know what you're using ClickUp for! 🙃 Robyn xx PPS - I am getting real close to launching the first phase of my brand new training program called The Balance Blueprint! This is Chaos to Calm REIMAGINED in the best way possible. Stay tuned for more about this and a very special offer for my little subscriber fam 🥰 |

Rejection is a real "B" with an itch Waving at someone who doesn't wave back... the worst. Posting on LinkedIn to crickets? Hold me, please. Singing songs on a stage in front of hundreds, for 1 of 5 chances to play at a massive folk festival in Ontario–and not making it? It took me a solid week to like music again. Remember that email I sent last week about sensing a client's about to fire you? Well, it happened. "Due to some shifting priorities, we are bringing on a new paid advertising...
What to do when there's nothing you can do 🥲 You have a great retainer. You don’t want to lose it. But the account has been… challenging. Not because there’s too much to do. The opposite, actually. I’ve been working with this client for—pause while I realize the one-year mark was last month and I completely missed it. 🫠 And for basically the entire time, I’ve been desperately trying to crack the code of working together. One of the hardest parts about being a freelancer? You’re always on the...
Getting paid to *sit in a chair* is modern-day torture 🫠 One of the weirdest parts about being your own boss... is undoing the 9-5 conditioning. My first "real job" as a uni student was in the office at the Quaker Oats factory my dad worked at. I would wear the button-up shirts and black dress pants, traipse over the aluminum walkway into the plant, and log on to my Windows 95 desktop computer every SINGLE Monday to Friday. ... And have literally NOTHING to do. This was clearly one of those...
