Your Next 90 Days (Without Overwhelm)

Simple Focus That Actually Works

By now, most New Year’s resolutions have faded.

That’s not a problem. It’s normal.

January starts with energy.
Then real life kicks the door open.

That’s why this week on our Tuesday night Portable Income call, we focused on something far more practical than a big yearly plan:

A simple, realistic 90-day reset.

Not to do more…
But to choose what matters—and build steady momentum.

Why a 90-Day Plan Works So Well

Portable income is a momentum game.

When your effort is scattered across too many ideas, platforms, and “maybe I should…” options, progress gets fragile. That’s when overwhelm shows up.

But when you narrow your focus, things change quickly:

• You conserve energy

• You build confidence through repetition

• You start seeing progress you can actually feel

A 90-day window is long enough to create results—and short enough to stay grounded.

What to Double Down On (and What to Stop)

Here’s the reframe we shared on the call:

Progress doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from choosing better.

That usually means doubling down on:

• One primary service you can explain clearly

• One main visibility channel (Upwork works well for many)

• One type of client you enjoy helping

• A simple weekly rhythm you can sustain

And just as importantly, stopping:

• Chasing too many platforms

• Perfecting instead of publishing

• Waiting to feel “ready” before acting

• Filling your brain with more input instead of taking the next step

One of the most important reminders from the session:

Clarity usually follows action.
Not the other way around.

One Weekly Question That Changes Everything

If you do nothing else, steal this:

Do that one thing.
Complete it.
Then stop.

Small, consistent steps compound faster than big plans.

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”
— Rumi

Next Tuesday Night: Simple Pricing That Works

Next week we’ll focus on one of the most common sticking points for freelancers and consultants: pricing.

We’ll talk about how to:

• Set rates you can stand behind

• Avoid undercharging or overthinking

• Price your work in a way that feels fair, simple, and sustainable

If pricing has ever slowed you down—or made you second-guess yourself—this session will help bring clarity.

Bring your questions.

See you then,
