Main threats
Algorithm / ranking
Discovery changes can erase volume overnight.
Fee hikes
Platform commissions move against sellers regularly.
Copycats
Low differentiation invites price wars.
Policy bans
Category rules and account suspensions are real.

Seasonality and recessions thin discretionary spend.
Burnout patterns
Sleep debt
Chronic short sleep shows up as day-job errors first.
Relationship friction
Every weekend booked eventually needs renegotiation at home.

Client drama bleeding into Monday meetings.

When self-worth tracks weekly GMV, pause metrics for a week.

Saturated metros need sharper niches or off-peak hours.
Mitigations
Owned audience
Email or SMS list reduces algorithm whiplash.
