Web Design MBA

In this very REAL episode of the Web Design MBA podcast, I share some recent challenging news about losing my biggest client, which accounted for a significant portion of my income. I discuss the importance of being real and transparent about the struggles we face as business owners. You'll learn about the risks of having too many eggs in one basket, the necessity of having data to back up your value, and the importance of maintaining strong client relationships, even when contracts end. I'll also provide actionable advice on how to handle such situations and ensure your business's financial stability. Join me as I share lessons from the trenches to help you build and sustain a successful web design business.
