A web designer explains why leaving a job means becoming unemployable: stop thinking about raises and start thinking about who you serve and how they pay you. The difference between a typical designer and one who asks questions that actually improve a client's business.
Because anything that's terrible about being self-employed is still better than being employed. Wow. That's really good.
And one, I want to echo back to one of the things you said in terms of being unemployable. And I think the reason you're unemployable as well as I am is my thinking has changed into when I want more money, I think about how can I serve people and have them pay me for doing so.
That is very true. You don't think about going to somebody and asking for a raise or a paycheck.
Yeah. And yes, you're serving your employer when you're working at a job, and if you're happy in your job, stay there because she did say, I don't recommend you start a business the way I did. 100%. Keep that in mind. When I invited you to be part of the project, Being the One, which is really about how do you show up and live your vision, you and I have had many conversations. You're like, I build websites for people, right? But you do so much more than that. What I see in you is you look for ways to help other people with the skillset that you have.
I really do. I do say I build websites for people because that's physically what I do. But when you compare what I do to an average website designer, I really do so much more. I ask the questions. That will help pull out things that will make their life easier, that will make things in their business work better.
