This week I’m breaking down common problems web designers face and 4 solutions to help them work less and make more.

3 top takeaways:

• When you stop making your prices mean something about you, it’s easier to see the value you provide and charge more sustainably.
• You are not an employee of your clients, but instead get to be a leader in your business by holding boundaries and creating systems that drive results.
• Taking control of how you spend your time and intentionally blocking space for specific activities is how to stay ahead without overworking.

I also discuss:

• The importance of designing your business around the life you want to live and share my own experience of feeling trapped in my business.
• Common mistakes web designers make when pricing their services and how to overcome pricing challenges.
• Key shifts that can help web designers improve their business: changing the mindset around pricing, transitioning from an employee mindset to a leadership mindset, improving time management, and conflict avoidance.
