 Topics Mentioned:

• Strategy 

• Flow

Key Thoughts:

• I love Katie, how you created the life that you want. The life you and your husband talked about creating, and then built your business around that life. Michele (6:32) 

   

• I had a mindset problem in the beginning because I thought, who would pay me and when I looked up website designers and developers their businesses had beautiful websites. I had that imposter syndrome thinking that could never be me; I could never have that business. Katie O’Brien (10:52) 

   

• Finally, during a call with my coach I made the decision. I'm going to rebrand, I'm going to change all my copy, all my marketing, and I'm not going to take any new clients. I'm going to focus on interior design websites and projects only. Katie O’Brien (14:09) 

   

• One of my favorites to see on a website is what design problem did you solve. Michele (37:23)
