#148 – May 2025 Income Report

In this episode of the Profitable Web Designer Podcast, Erica Nash and I are diving deep into our May 2025 income report. 💸

But spoiler: the biggest win wasn’t the revenue. It was the clarity and relief I felt after bringing on a financial strategist to finally help me get a full, honest look at our numbers. For the first time in a long time, I’m not spinning in worry or wondering if what we’re doing is sustainable. I know it is. And I know exactly what to do next.

And that’s exactly what we do for our students inside the Web Designer Academy. We help you look at your business through a lens you might not even know you need so you can stop guessing, stop overworking, and start making intentional decisions that feel good and actually work.

So if you’ve been carrying the weight of your business alone and second-guessing every move … just know, you don’t have to do it all by yourself. Sometimes all it takes is someone on the outside to show you what you can’t see yet. 💛

🎧 In this episode, I share:

  • Why I decided to keep offering the “Get Your Next Client” masterclass as a paid workshop

  • The massive sense of relief I felt after hiring a financial strategist

  • How our weekly Open House events are changing the way potential students connect with us

  • The real reason behind our year-long brand refresh project

  • What I learned about trusting your gut vs. trusting the data
