A3: Let's see - What tips or tricks have I learned over the years? I always keep track of mileage. Teach your kids how to run a small business and get the tax benefits, even if they're going to ultimaely work for the man. Talk to your tax preparer more often than you'd like to. #FreelanceFriends

A1. I don't buy too many office supplies at year-end. When my former employer shut down our division, they invited me to shut down the office (hahah) and take anything I wanted. I do buy the good pens, of course. I'm not a caveman. #FreelanceFriends

Time to call your Senators - red or blue. Tell them how important the ACA credits are to small and solo business owners and employees.

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

A4. Most fun send off for a client/project partner: we took a road trip together. SO. MUCH. FUN. We coincidentally stayed in a hotel that was hosting a clown convention. Memories! #FreelanceFriends

A4. Best send off a client did for me was to take me around and introduce me to his colleagues and stand up and give me a testimonial at a Rotary dinner. 🤩

I'm trailing on the Qs!
q4) Freelancers are also clients of other businesses. Does anyone have a really great example of a fantastic goodbye? How have you incorporated those tactics into your transition plan?

A3. I try to get testimonials. I also write a Client Spotlight for my LinkedIn business page that highlights what I thought were the stellar aspects of our engagement (not always what they valued). If you write THEM a testimonial, you can include those items. 😉

A3. I try to keep in touch with former clients on LinkedIn and in their circle of influence. I'd like to add a print component since I work with printers and publishers. I published a magazine for 22 years, so a mini mag is what I'm thinking.

Whew, getting to Q3 now!
q3) What's your advice to other freelancers - what else can you do to make this client remember you fondly? How do you balance "enough" - a warm goodbye w/o going overboard? What opportunities do you think folks miss?
