The benefits of building slowly are never noticed until you're farther down the road. When I started side hustling, I'd hoped I'd be closing in on six figures within a year or two. Truthfully, sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach. I feel like something is so easy because I can see the finish line. Just because you can see it, doesn't mean it'll be easy to get to. After 5 years of side hustling in the web design space, i'm more appreciative of what i've learned and how it applies to growing a stable, strong business model. In this episode, i share things i've learned in that time and how it can help you stay patient and build a business that lasts.

When you operate as a solopreneur it can get lonely. The work can keep you isolated. One of the best things I've found to keep me motivated, on the edge of creativity, and happy has been finding awesome communities. Elegant Themes has built an incredible community around the Divi theme and so many great developers and content creators have built their own Divi communities as well. Another major connection point has been podcast like the Josh Hall Web Design Show and Divi Chat . There are also some incredible YouTube channels for education and the communities built in the chat can be awesome too... Check out my channel at https://keeganlanier.com/watchyoutube .…
