Five things that will help you
- how do you price an install
- what do I need to learn about servers and hosting

- begin to understand your network
- managing expectations
Steps to build WordPress
- Themes
- Hosting
- Upgrades
- Plugins
- Strategy Consulting
How you develop your business
- Where you want to grow your business is where you have fun
- Legal stuff & taxes
- Building a team & expand
- Full Time or Part Time?
- Time Management & Project Management
- Developing that business
Contracts & Managing Expectations
- watch for scope creep
- Saves you time, money & heartache
Keep Growing – keep learning, be curious
Connections & Networking – get with people that are better than you, get with people that can bring you business
Take a break, have a life, vacations - have fun, if you’re not having fun then don’t do it
Pricing – the better you get, charge per project not hourly. The less sure you are, charge by hour.
