Ever had that conversation with your parents, coworkers or friends when you tell them you want to build websites for a living? Then they look at you with a look that says are you crazy, but they say something like oh that’s nice?
Anyone starting a company thinks they have the world in their grasp and no one can stop them, and yet like in any business there are ups and downs, pros and cons and it is truly then when you will find out who your true friends, clients, cheerleaders and naysayers really are. While you struggle to make ends meet, they wait chomping at the bit to tell you “I told you so”.
I will share lessons learned as both a freelancer and an agency owner that will not only share that we are not alone in the struggle (although it may feel that way) but also ways to avoid some of the same mistakes I have made along the way. Owning a web agency can be fun as long as you leverage your time. resources, and most of all learn what you are or perhaps are not good at and how to delegate those items in a way that not only can provide for you but give the opportunity to change others lives along the way all the while having a great time making the web beautiful one site at a time.
