When your back's against the wall...
Someone gave me this advice a few years ago and it's got me out of a bind quite a few times since. On one occasion I was 2 days away from our mortgage payment and looking at an empty warchest. This advice helped.
The advice?
Start sending hand crafted emails to all the people you've ever done work with. Make it friendly, short, and non-needy.
Example:
Hi Bob,
Hope you and your family are well.
Just thought I'd let you know some space has cleared in my calendar. If you know anyone who needs any help with Google Ads then just tell them to give me a shout.
We must catch up soon. It's long overdue!
Speak soon,
Andy
...
The important parts are:
1) Saying some space has cleared in your calendar. This isn't needy, but has them thinking how they can help you fill it.
2) Asking if they know anyone who needs any help.
...
What advice would you give someone who's back is against the wall?
