Finally hit 12 client projects from one beach town in Mexico

I spent three straight months in Puerto Escondido without booking a single gig, then last Tuesday three separate referrals came in within two hours and I finished all of them by Friday, has anyone else found that momentum just shows up after you stop forcing it?

That momentum thing is real, but it's not random. Those three months you spent not booking, that was the setup time. You were building trust and staying visible, even if it didn't feel like it. When I've had dry spells, the work always came in waves after I stopped checking my inbox every five minutes. The key is to keep doing the small stuff, posting, replying to old clients, showing up at local spots, without expecting anything back. Then one morning everything lines up and you're drowning in referrals. Just remember to bank some of that cash for the next quiet stretch, because it always comes around again.
