Ep. 136 – In this special episode of the podcast, it’s a privilege to bring in one of my students, Shannon Morris, who is early in her web design journey but has had an AMAZING first year and plenty of invaluable lessons to share.
She was a former school teacher who wanted a career change that offered more freedom and flexibility and that’s when she discovered web design. And within a year, she pivoted from teacher to full time web designer!
In this interview, she opens up about the steps she took to learn web design, start her business, start getting clients and more importantly, how she’s managed to push through the highs and lows that inevitably come when starting a business.
If you’re interested in a career change or finally taking your web design side hustle full time, I hope you can pull from Shannon’s experience and gain the confidence you need to get started with your web design business so you can have the freedom and lifestyle you want!
Enjoy 🙂
P.S. I want to help you in YOUR journey just like I have with Shannon so if you’re ready to become a well rounded, full time web designer join my Web Design Course Bundle today so we can begin to fast-track your journey as well!
