That’s why episode 42 of MAKING WEBSITE MAGIC is about how you’re spending your day as a web designer!
The Making Website Magic School of Business is pre-enrolling. Are you consistently booking dream projects & making the money you desire in your web design business?

You CAN have a thriving web design & dev business where you consistently work with aligned clients who actually respect you and pay you well.
In this episode of Making Website Magic, Sam & Karyn are sharing the importance of doing a business audit of your tasks and time spent on them and actionable steps you can take right now to begin centering your time on revenue-generating tasks and focusing on the numbers that matter.
Here are just a few of the things we discuss during this episode:
- Breaking down the difference between revenue-generating tasks, indirect revenue-generating tasks, and busywork.
- Why it can be difficult to distinguish between indirect revenue-generating tasks and busywork.
- The safety we find in busy work tasks and how they can keep us from reaching our financial goals.
- The value of being part of communities where you can ask questions and learn from one another.
