Risks & Mitigations
- Client concentration — No client should exceed 30% of revenue; keep prospecting even when busy.
- Price race to the bottom — Compete on specialization and outcomes, never on hourly discounting.
- Income volatility — Hold 3 months of fixed costs in reserve; push retainers/subscriptions.
- Burnout / capacity ceiling — Productize offers and raise prices instead of adding hours.
- Platform dependency — Never let one platform exceed ~50% of lead flow; build an email list.
