98. Side Hustle to $1M+ Solopreneur Business
Manage episode 384773407 series 2970750
Designjoy started as a side hustle in 2017. Now, it’s a $1.5 million a year agency–and Brett Williams still runs it as a solopreneur. He’ll share how to start a design agency and scale it to 7 figures in this interview.
Brett’s life with Designjoy wasn’t smooth sailing from the outset. His workload was a big problem for his first three years, when he was working 12-hour days and earning less than he should. That was when he unlocked how to scale a business the right way, making an innovative shift that sliced his work time in half and skyrocketed his revenue.
A design agency can be among the best solopreneur business ideas–if you know how to run and scale it the right way. Brett will share the mistakes he made early on and how he adjusted to choose better clients, letting him cut down on his workload while increasing his revenue.
