Freelance/Contract Marketing - where to find clients?

I’m leaving G soon and will be managing some e-commerce Google Ads accounts for clients I have met throughout the years. For those of you who freelance or do contract work- where do you find clients who need your services? I have 5+ years managing accounts spending $100+ Million annually across Search, Shopping, and YouTube. I feel like Fiverr, Upwork…etc are not where I want to be. I am very good at what I do and only want to work with a handful of clients. Any thoughts?
