I would be working to lower risk as much as possible. Adopting techniques that you are confident in, learning new skills and then applying them, even in side projects, can help grow your skills, increase the chances of projects being completed that the client is happy with, and keeping you employed. Now is the time to reassess the way you work, and find ways to show that you can work with your clients to meet their needs in an efficient manner.
It's funny... I was just in a heated-debate thread about this very subject. One of my comments was that if you don't want to take the time to learn your own trade well enough to be good at it (ie, write good set based code as quickly as others can write a cursor), then get out of the business.
5 stars, Steve!
