  • #23 Taking Your Web Design Side Hustle Biz Full Time In this podcast, I will be talking you through the truthful story of my transition from having a side hustle business to a full time business. I will also be discussing ways in which you can identify when you are ready to take your business full time, as well as ways in which you can make yourself ready to take the jump!  Key takeaways I started my side hustle whilst working a full time job at a hotel. I was a member of management and transitioned myself into the marketing side of the business.  I had a realisation that I wanted to be creative in what I was doing with work, so  I started a graphic design business and as I got the taste for it, I wanted more!  I reduced my hours and went part time to help out with the side hustle.  I had no regular clients, I was incorrectly pricing and had no social media presence.  Took out a loan and quit my job and the panic started to set in!  The importance of financial stability when starting to go full time with you business.  Sales funnelling, enquiries and networking and how it can help grow your business. Surround yourself with a positive support system of friends and family.  Refine your brand and services, this will inevitably change over time but get it to where you want it to be in that moment.  How the pandemic affected business owners having to jump into taking their business full time.  Don’t panic when going full-time; make lists, prioritise and get yourself out there.  Get quick wins under your belt and get this thing going!  What can you do to get yourself ready? Show up on social media. Every single day. Maximise your opportunities.  Have a website with cleat goods and services.  Be prepared to put in the hours. Hard work is undeniable and nobody will put a full time business in your lap.  Networking is key. Recommendations are the most powerful ways of getting clients. People trust in who you know and the good work they have done for you.  One thing to remember above all else “Typically, at the start of running your own business, we feel so overwhelmed- and that is so normal! There will also be a feeling of being overwhelmed at all stages of your business!” Highlights you simply cannot miss!
