Exactly What I Needed as a New Designer

As someone transitioning from a long career in operations into web design, this podcast has been a total game-changer. I found Shannon’s show during a time when I was feeling overwhelmed from all the noise; trying to get everything right especially as it relates to choosing a niche. Her advice about why ‘niching doesn’t work and what to do instead’ was the perspective shift I didn’t know I needed. It helped me let go of perfectionism, focus on solving real problems, and actually move forward in my business. Shannon shares so much valuable information. It’s strategic, honest and approachable. Exactly what I needed as someone juggling a 9-5 while building something new.

Great but it’s allA out her course.

I think she has a lot of great info to share, but I’m always weary of someone who’s a business coach and doesn’t even actually do web design anymore. And her own website is from a low-cost template so…

The exact message we all need to hear

Shannon shares the mindset part of being an entrepreneur. This is her zone of genius and she makes it easy to see the possibilities.

Outstanding content & personality!

I learned about Shannon a few years ago and had caught her last podcast towards the end of its run and was so sad when she shut it down. So when she started this one, I ran to listen. And wow, am I glad I did! Shannon is has such a wealth of knowledge and experience and shares so openly and vulnerably. It makes you feel like success is actually in reach and you don’t have to be perfect to get there. It didn’t take long for me to move from this podcast to joining WDA and her Next Level mastermind soon after — I can’t get enough! I highly recommend you follow her all the places and buy all the things ❤️ You’re in for a treat!

Get Out Of Mind Head!!

From the very first episode, Shannon spells out exactly what’s happening on a hidden level. Episode 1, it didn’t even dawn on me that I kinda have a fear of responsibility. She is really able to speak to the things everyone’s thinking but are too scared to admit. Already loving this new podcast. 😍
