Profitable Web Designer with Shannon Mattern

Overcoming Business Obstacles with Josh Hall EP 41

👩‍💻 Get Shannon's free course for women web designers who want to make more money without working 24/7.

This week I’m chatting with Josh Hall about the challenges businesses are facing right now and how to navigate them!

Like me, Josh is also a Web Design Coach. He started web design as a freelancing side hustle, and over the years has managed to grow it to a six-figure business today. And, funnily enough, we are actually both based at Columbus, Ohio! He’s also the host of the Web Design Business Podcast.

3 key points from my talk with Josh:

  • There are always going to be periods of ups and downs in business. You need to be proactive and learn to problem-solve based on the data to adapt to challenges.
  • Trying to go it alone can cause you to make mistakes that perpetuate the problem - having a coach or mentor to help you get to the root of that problem will help you see the reality.
  • Never turn off your sales strategy, even if you need to lessen it during your busier seasons. By always carving out time for your most effective marketing and sales activities, you’ll build a pipeline for when you come out of your booked-out season.


    • We also talk about:

    • Trends in the challenges our clients are facing and how we’re seeing that what used to be easy might now take a bit longer.
    • The difference between leads and clients and how you should pay attention to feedback from the people who are paying you, not just talking to you during a consultation.
    • Tactics to get you through the down times in business and how it takes courage to push through these times.


      • When you're ready, here are some ways we can help you with your web design business:​
