How does working on your nervous system help you as a web designer apart from the obvious fear of public speaking and large group settings?

Turns out, it affects (either positively or negatively) EVERY aspect of your day to day as a web designer and business owner.

In the name of sustainability, longevity and just being healthy and happy as a business owner, I’m thrilled to share a conversation I had with Jonny Miller, founder of Nervous System Mastery, who’s helped top level entrepreneurs and people at the highest level of business manage stress, get healthier and have the tools to handle bigger challenges and hurdles in their life.

What works for folks at this level of business also work for us as web designers, solopreneurs and agency owners.

Can’t wait to hear your takeaways.

Paid Discovery is a HOT topic right now in web design.

The idea of getting paid for a discovery call – before wasting an hour of your day with someone who has a budget of $300 – is dang intriguing for pretty much every web designer.

But then the questions come up…

• Is it just a consult/strategy call?
• How much do I charge for it?
• What if I don’t have enough experience or expertise?
• What’s included in paid discovery?
• What if I don’t want to be viewed as a digital marketing agency?

Welp, we tackle all of those questions and more in this episode with Racheal Graham, an established web design agency owner who has a proven $2,000 paid discovery offer and who graciously pulls the curtain back on her entire process.

Enjoy!
