How to Recession-Proof Your Freelance Business (Opportunity in Any Market)

When the market gets weird, most freelancers panic. They freeze. They discount their rates. They wait for things to “go back to normal.” And that’s exactly why they lose.

The freelancers who thrive in uncertain times know one thing: uncertainty = opportunity.

In this video, I’ll show you how to:
✅ Reposition your freelance business during a recession or downturn
✅ Spot 3 types of chaos (category shifts, cash flow constrictions, cultural movements) that create new opportunities for freelancers
✅ Build offers clients need right now (not “nice-to-have” projects that get cut from budgets)
✅ Stay useful when everyone else is pulling back—and become the most valuable person in the room
✅ Turn market shifts into a chance to 2x or 3x your freelance income

You’ll also hear how I navigated major crises in my own business—like when COVID shut down the entire events industry and we pivoted to remote production overnight—and why freelancers who move first (and stay useful) always come out on top.

What you’ll learn:
How to recession-proof your freelance business
The freelancer mindset shift that turns crisis into opportunity
Why companies hire more freelancers during budget cuts and layoffs
Real-world examples of turning downturns into growth
