#177 Brett Williams – The Solopreneur Behind a 7-Figure Design Empire

Kickoff Sessions

On episode #177 of Kickoff Sessions we sat down with Brett Williams, the mind behind Designjoy, a one-person design business that rakes in $1.2 million annually
In this episode, Brett opens up about his path from a side gig designer to building a highly profitable venture. Find out how his selective and strategic project approach not only attracted top-tier clients but also granted him the freedom to decline projects that didn't align with his passions and skills.
Brett reveals his strategy of sharing financial wins on Twitter to expand his influence, details his decision to leave his full-time job, and delves into the pricing strategies and hiring practices that helped him build a 7 figure business.
We wrap things up by exploring the importance of setting goals beyond financial gain and how Brett maintains a healthy work-life balance. Plus, learn how building an audience can drive your business journey towards new horizons.
