It didn’t work out as you expected, did it? Running your own web design business was supposed to give you more time with the family and free you from that incompetent boss. You even thought you might be better off financially. Instead, you’re working longer hours and under constant stress, worrying about various aspects of your business.

If you can associate with that feeling then know that you are not alone. It has taken me 11 years of running Headscape and making mistakes to have finally reached a point where I feel the business exists to serve me and not the other way around.

I wish I could travel back in time and sit myself down to explain a few home truths about how to run an effective web design business. The lessons of the last 11 years would have come in very handy!

I may not be able to do that for myself, but maybe I can do that for you.

This year at Future of Web Design I am running a full day workshop where I share the lessons I have learnt running a web design agency.

The official blurb for the day can be found on the Future of Web Design site.

At £695 it is not cheap. However, that gets you access to the 2 day conference as well as the workshop. Also, I can pretty much guarantee that you will make that money back based on the things you will learn over the day.

Sometimes you need to invest in your business and your own sanity! If your web design business is getting on top of you this is money well spent.
