    403 - Automating Your Project Management Systems with Kristen Lettini

    Design and building websites…that’s the fun part. Managing the project, collecting content, onboarding, handling revisions and feedback…typically, not so much. Which is why, if you can automate as much of the repeatable tasks and make a system and process for the “unfun” parts of a web design project, it’ll make your life much easier and more profitable. That’s what we’re diving into this one with automation and systems specialist (and fellow 17hats user) Kristen Lettini. We get into: What automations you’re missing (and why to add them NOW)The GOLD of auto-remindersUsing a CRM like 17hats to automate as much as possibleMy “before and after” automation momentWhy improving systems is THE KEY to sustainabilityGet my quote, contract & invoice templates (for free) with a 7-day trial of 17hats, the CRM I've been using for over 10 years! 👉 Start my 7-day free trial

    402 - Future Planning for Entrepreneurs with Special Needs Families (with Pro members Marc, Lisa & Ed)

    Being an entrepreneur is challenging. Being a parent-entrepreneur is even more challenging. Being a special needs parent entrepreneur…it’s tough to put into words. But one thing’s for sure, the freedom of schedule and flexible availability, to be able to care for a special needs kiddo as a web designer is UNMATCHED and well worth all the challenges. We’re diving into all of that and more in this special group chat that I had with Marc Hyde, Lisa Dorian and Ed Gomes. All members of Web Designer Pro who have something in common, being a web designer and entrepreneur with one or more special needs children we care for. We get into: Future planning for special care after retirementHow goals and vision changes after having a child with special needsHow to structure your schedule and calls around a complex scheduleHow we stay balanced during hard times (emergencies, surgeries, etc)The invaluable need for a supportive community of others who are in similar situationsAnd don’t worry, you don’t need to have a special needs kiddo to get a lot out of this convo because everything we talk about is applicable to you as an entrepreneur parent.

    400 - How Friendships Change as an Entrepreneur

    Do you find that you no longer fit in with many of your friends when you become an entrepreneur? If so, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing my take on this common “friendshift” for web design entrepreneurs and it’s based off a recent newsletter from Web Designer Pro member Alexia (of visualvibedesign.com) who shared a very open and honest take on this topic. So in this solo episode, it’s narrative as I’ll read you Alexia’s newsletter and follow up with my take as well on things like: Why old friendships shift when priorities changeBelonging in the awkward middle between old circles and new peersThe value of small, curated communities over giant groupsPractical steps to find “web besties” and collaboratorsIdentity growth, ROI on social time, and protecting focusAnd more.

    397 - Life as a Corporate Web Designer with Chris Webb

    When I began my career in web design, my initial goal was to “get a job” as a web designer for an agency or corporation…until I realized corporate life is NOT for me. But that’s me, I enjoy the world of risk and reward of freelancing and entrepreneurship, whereas the freelance lifestyle is NOT for everyone. So today I’m thrilled to share the conversation I had with Chris Webb, who’s had a long career as a web designer and developer as an agency and corporate web designer. But Chris also does freelance on the side, so he has a unique perspective on the pros and cons of freelancer vs agency vs corporate web designers. What makes this convo extra special is that Chris has been a close personal friend of mine since early high school. I looked up to him big-time when I first got started in design because he was “the cool agency designer,” and he mentored me in many ways in those early days. So to be able to have him on the show now, 16 years later, is an awesome, full-circle moment for us both 🙂 Freelance web designer, agency web designer or corporate web designer – what’s right for you? Let me know after this convo!
