February 01, 20232022 Year In Review: Money Anxiety and a Mindtrash Makeover Part 1 EP 24
👩‍💻 Get Shannon's free course for women web designers who want to make more money without working 24/7.
This week we’re diving into part 1 of my 2022 year in review and all things mindset and numbers.
In this episode I’m breaking down:
What caused me to start accumulating mindtrash and how I ignored all the signs.
My exact revenue numbers from 2021 to 2022.
The choices I made to empower myself and simultaneously overwork myself this year.
How I FINALLY realized I was meant to go all in on the Web Designer Academy.
Key lessons I’m taking away from 2022:
It’s not just about financial and time freedom; fulfillment is equally as important, and the key to success is mindset - mine, as much as that of my students.
Sit with your numbers and listen to what they’re telling you. You’ll learn SO much about your business when you look at where you made your money vs where you spent your time.
Notice how you handle anxiety. If you’re like me, it leads to overworking on things that don’t even generate much, if any, revenue, which creates more anxiety, and…. You get the point.

After creating a 3-part plan together, Leigh consistently has 5-figure months and is working on expanding her business to new avenues and even growing a team!
“The way I’m thinking of pricing… What is something I think somebody won’t agree to, but if they did agree to it, I would be excited about it?” - Leigh Scott

December 07, 2022Web Design Pricing Strategies with Josh Hall
👩‍💻 Get Shannon's free course for women web designers who want to make more money without working 24/7.
This week Josh Hall and I are talking about setting your web design project pricing.
🔥 Key takeaways:
Mindset. The right mindset is the single most important thing you need to have when it comes to setting your pricing.
When communicating your pricing to your client, make it all about them. Talk about the value you will provide for them, the problem-solving and expertise you provide that will add value to their business and what their return on investment will look like.
Your business is guaranteed to have highs and lows. Be ready for them and make the most out of each season.

“The only reason you can do it in 10 minutes is because you may have spent 10 years learning, that way it doesn’t take 10 hours.” - Josh Hall
