Moving to a small town for lower costs almost wrecked my freelance business

Everyone said leaving Chicago for a cheaper place like Carbondale, Illinois would be a smart money move. I was skeptical but went for it, only to find my main client base dried up because I was no longer in easy reach for quick in-person meetings. It took me over eight months to rebuild a remote-only workflow that actually worked. Has anyone else faced this after moving away from a major hub?

Was it really that big of a deal though?

Well @tessap97, what would make it a big deal to you?

Look, tessap97, people are acting like it's the end of the world. It's just not that serious.
