EP342: Year-End Reflection: Review, Revise, and Recharge for the Year Ahead
Learn how to conduct a writing business year-end review without overwhelm, reflect on your wins, and set powerful goals for 2026.
You're not just a writer — you're a nurse with a brain full of insight that your clients need.
In this episode of the Savvy Scribe Podcast, I’m sharing how landing high-value clients can completely change your freelance writing business. If you’ve ever felt stuck saying yes to low-paying, high-demand projects, it’s time to rethink your approach.
I walk through what makes a client truly “high-value,” how to identify red flags, and how to position yourself as a professional nurse writer who commands higher rates and long-term partnerships. This episode is your permission slip to aim higher and start building the business you deserve.
What defines high-value clients (and why it’s not just about the money)
How low-value clients drain your energy and slow your growth
Signs that you’re ready to uplevel your client base
The mindset shift from freelancer to business owner
Why niching down helps you attract aligned, premium clients
How to bring clarity and confidence to your client sourcing strategy
Strategies for breaking the feast-or-famine cycle
High-value clients pay well, respect your time, and want ongoing partnerships
Low-value clients often micromanage, underpay, and cause burnout
Feeling stuck or undervalued is a sign it’s time to shift your approach
Narrowing your niche helps you stand out as an expert nurse writer
Clients want partners, not just freelancers — show up like a business
There are plenty of great clients out there — you just need the right strategy to find them
This month inside the Savvy Nurse Writer Membership, I’m teaching a new masterclass: The Art of Client Sourcing: How to Find High-Value Clients as a Nurse Writer
Inside the training, I’ll walk you through:
How to define your dream client
Where to find them (without cold pitching all day)
