Ask What do you do when the platform your business depends on starts dying?

[Brendan]

A lot of freelancers build everything on one platform, then one day that platform starts losing clients or changes how it works, and suddenly your income feels shaky. It is like building a shop inside someone else's building and the landlord is slowly closing down. Some people move to other platforms, others try to build their own client base outside. But shifting is not always easy, especially when you have been relying on one place for a long time. What did you do when this happened to you?
