How to Take Your Web Design Biz to 6-Figures Fast (but Not-So-Messy) with Nick Monaghan

Ep. 205 - You ever hear success stories about people who “took their business to 6-figures in one year” and think…how the heck did they do that? Or what’s the secret? Or worse yet, do you feel demoralized by hearing about someone’s quick success? Let’s start with the good news… it IS possible to get to 6-figures as fast as you want in web design and do it without taking years off your life. But in all situations, it’s not easy. And most people who get to 100k fast in year one have either been in business for a while OR took a VERY MESSY road to get there. In this episode, we get to hear from Nick Monaghan, one of my students, who took his web design business to 6-figures fast but did it in a very chaotic and messy way. Nick shares openly about the things he did right but more importantly the things he did wrong in his first year of business so that you can take the lessons and apply them to taking YOUR business to 100k or more per year in a “not-so-messy way” :) P.S. I’m so glad Nick was open to coming on and sharing so transparently about the lessons he learned in, what on the outside looks like quick success, but on the inside was riddled with hard lessons learned. Again, this conversation is basically a what-to-do and what-not-to-do so I couldn’t be more excited to hear from you on your takeaways! After you listen, please leave me a comment on the post at joshhall.co/205 with your biggest takeaway or lesson learned.
