What is happening out there? | Invitation inflow.

What is happening out there?  The invitation inflow has increased to levels I could not have possibly imagined.  Pre-COVID, I would receive, on average one invitation per week.  Maybe two at times.  For the past three weeks, I have received six in a week, then eight, and I am now up to seven this week already.

I had assumed that with a probable influx of freelancers and a reduction in posted jobs from the economic slow down we'd see a trimming down of invitations. Something is going on out there in prospective client-land. Maybe with everyone at home and prospective clients have decided it is time to address those long-considered communications strategy and IP projects. Who really knows. I don't. 

Anyone else getting slammed with invitations?

I have received 1. But for me that is pretty good because I normally get 0.

My heart hopes you will soon receive two, then three, then four.

I earmark time every morning to scan for work, look for peach projects, and
submit proposals to key opportunities -- regardless of invitations.
Applying the hunter mindset during times of plenty ensures the hunter
instincts are still sharp and active when times of not-plenty comes. And
they will. We are what we practice to become. Practice daily being an
in-it-to-win-it competitor. Each time. Every time. All times..

Yes. Could be, in part, the rotation.
