395 - Going Full-Time Web Design (a WDP Coaching Call with Ben and Alexia)

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

This episode is a recent coaching call I had with two members from my community Web Designer Pro™, all about going full-time with your web design business.
Alexia JUST went full-time at the time of publishing this episode and Ben went full-time in Dec of 2024, so it was great hearing both of their perspectives about lessons learned going full-time with them having just done it.
What’s particularly of note is the mental shift when opening up an additional 20, 30 or 40 hours a week of freedom along with the challenges that most web designers aren’t aware of after the fun and excitement of going full-time wears off.
Excited to hear how this one helps, especially if you’re gearing up to go full-time with your web design biz!
