  You don't necessarily need more customers. You might need a better business. Let's start with an uncomfortable truth: Having customers doesn't mean you have a profitable business. You can have a full calendar, hundreds of orders, a growing social media following, people recommending your services, and customers walking through your doors every week and still struggle to pay yourself what you're worth.
