Don’t leave your web design journey up to chance.

There are some times in life where it is fun to not plan ahead. For example, a random day hanging out with friends or a spontaneous holiday trip to some new place.

Web design, though, is not one of those times! If you leave your web design journey to chance, expect to fail.

What this book covers is what I wish I knew when I first started web design. It is the big lessons that make a big difference.

Knowing these lessons will help you avoid becoming yet another burnout who is overworked and underpaid. I will be sharing with you clear steps to get more profitable, move forward quickly, and set yourself up for a shot at real success.

This book isn't just about money, though - it looks at an overall smart approach to having a great business that supports a great life. This is about working smarter - not harder - to enjoy more of what life is all about.

If you are ready to go, then let’s get started!

The best place to start ANY freelance business

An eye opener. If you're planning to start a web design business (or any other freelance business), you should definitely get this book. The author has made it a point to discuss what matters most when it comes to starting your own business (hint: it's not the technical skills). Solid book full of actionable advice. Highly recommended!

This book will help you stand out in the market

Once when you understand what's the point of the website design and development business, you'll be capable of making a good living from it. This book teaches you what many designers don't know about a business world and what you should focus on to find better clients and rake in more money.

Concise, Practical, Actionable

I’ve listened to this book twice now, and will be starting it again today. Rob (Fox) keeps things concise and practical, so if you’re looking for lots of theory or specific technical instruction, this is not that book— but don’t think that takes away from the immense value of the content here. It focuses heavily on the kind of mindset you need to be a successful web designer AND business owner. If all you want to be is a web designer that sells time for money, this won’t be of much use to you. But if you want to be a business owner that learns how to use web design as a path to trading value for money and incrementally building on success to the point that you have complete job-optional financial freedom and flexibility to live your life, then buy this book now.

Rob uses two contrasting characters throughout the book whose journeys in web design and business ownership function as parables about what to do and what not to do, based on real life lessons that Rob himself learned the hard way, as well as his multitude of students over many years. The fictional stories illustrate why the proper mindset, a little direction, and focused tenacity are far more valuable than years of training, lots of money, or even above average intelligence. The many real life success stories prove it.

Some have claimed that this book is little more than an ad for the Fox Web School, and to that I say, so what? It has certainly sold me, and I’ll be signing up very soon. But don’t think that you won’t still absorb tremendous knowledge or that Rob is holding back here. This book serves as the foundation for your strategy and mindset, which includes continual learning, so if someone is upset that at the end of a mere 3 hour book they still have to learn things, they weren’t paying attention. No it does not contain guidance for every conceivable step along your journey as a web design business owner, but it will definitely get you going in the right direction, and that is the most crucial part of any journey.

This is the only Audible review I’ve written to date, because few books have challenged my thinking like this one has. If you are undecided about buying this book, I recommend checking out some of Rob’s free content like I did. The no BS approach and truly valuable information I found in his YouTube videos are what gave me confidence to buy this book, and I’m glad I did. Don’t just take my word for it though, give it a shot and see for yourself! You won’t regret it.

Really motivating!

This really motivated me to push forward with my pursuit of being a freelancer and entrepreneur!

Must read for would be web design entrepreneurs

This is a great too for web designers. No other book covers the important business aspects like this one does. If you want success as a web design freelancer, or business owner, you need this book.

A Different Perspective To Web Design

In all my time building websites I have always thought that my most important asset was my technical skills and because of that outlook I was always trying to refine my web skills (not a bad idea) but I wasn't paying any attention to how my work was helping the business.

I think this is one of the most important tip I am walking from this with - To think in business sense first, not my designs skills.

Overall the book was great and introduces the reader to a lot of new perspectives relating to web design and business mindset. I would recommend this book to others, web designer or anyone looking to become an entrepreneur.

Amazing information

I am starting my own web design business and the information here is so valuable. I’m about to listen to the book a second time to make sure I take the most I possibly can here.

Could have been an email

Nice content but nothing new. at the end, the author does self-promoting of freelancing mentoring services.

Misleading title

Not about 1m, it’s about how to get started as someone who never designed a website. Oh and coding can be learned in a few days online, sure.
