No entrepreneur goes straight up the ladder to success. And no entrepreneur achieves success without investing in themselves.

But how do you know what’s an investment in yourself and your business and what’s just spending money?

On today's episode. I'm so excited to host my new friend and bad-ass business owner, Shannon Mattern.

Shannon teaches solopreneurs how to DIY their website and mentors web designers on how to package, price, sell and run premium web design projects with boundaries (not burnout).

Shannon’s also the host of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers, a podcast for side-hustlers who want to become self-employed (without taking a pay cut)!

Tune into this episode to hear:

• Why Shannon gives the honest truth on her podcast about what she spent and what she earned
• Five questions to ask yourself when you’re making an investment in yourself
• Pros and cons of credit, loans, and debt when it comes to investing in your business
• Why you need to be able to invest what you’re asking clients to pay
