2022 year-end numbers

[Kevin Slater]

Per annual tradition:

Revenue was flat from 2021 to 2022.

36% of 2022 revenue came from the year’s top three clients, down from 46% in 2021.

But what happens if you get a text in the next hour or two from a millionaire offering you thousands for a quickie!? Then you gotta redo the whole chart! 🤣

[Kevin Slater]

You joke, but there is a non-negligible chance of something similar.  In which case I'd be happy to amend the report.

It would be a good problem to have!

This is always good info. What do you feel happened in 2002 and 2003? I was still a minor during that time lol, but could it have been the George Bush and 9/11 stuff that affected business? I also agree 2012 seemed to be the best years.

 

Do you feel the biz now is in a weird place? We’re basically at the same level of 2005 and 2009. Both volatile years (I recall inflation was an issue in 2005 and recession in 2009). 

Of course when I look at all others, regulars seems to offset the overall trend. I think Biden could steer us in the right move, despite Republican fears. People blamed Biden for everything, can someone give the man credit for under $3 gas prices for once 😂 (which really doesn’t mean shit in the scheme of things. Cheap guys are going to be cheap ass guys regardless of gas prices).

I do love a stats guy. Updated my spreadsheet last night (a very NYE thing to do).

I was brand new to the biz.  Give a guy a chance to learn the ropes!

Is there a chart to show most popular day of the week?  I bet there is 🙂

For me it’s Tuesday…strangely

Lifetime revenue, by day of the week.

So you're the asshole stealing all my Tuesday business!

I’m in awe….😍😍😍

Although why is Thursday ‘R’ and Sunday ‘X’?

"R" was used for Thursdays on class schedules by my university back at the turn of the century.  It is shorter than the "TH" most often used to distinguish Thursday from Tuesday.

Yeah, I stole the schema after seeing a friend's course schedule from UC Davis.

Although to really nerd out, it really ought to be H, which is unique only to Thursday, whereas Friday shares the R.

I'm happy to be counted as a very small percentage of the 2022 numbers. If only I lived in NYC, I could probably get to 2-3 percent. 😝

@Kevin Slater are the amounts in this chart adjusted for inflation?

Why lose the weight?  You're great the way you are.

That is not the standard for financial reporting.

That is a 20-year track record.  Congratulations!  I would think that it is very rare in this industry.  It looks like the passage of time has had no effect on your revenues.  Or not that I can see,

Has there been an increase in your hourly fees, say in 2021 and 2022?

Thanks. 

The rack rate remains constant, but there's noise:

• rentmen (the dominant site) doesn't allow one to publish rates, so those may be a little loosey goosey.  Never to the downside in my case, but I may sometimes quote a higher number.
• the business model is increasingly moving away from hourly sessions in any case.
