With more than 39,000 game-changing posts, he's dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their freedom.

Forum membership removes this block.
Currently have completed the majority of the client's site here: lightslategray-snake-774748.hostingersite.com | (Don't mind the weird site name, it's currently on a test domain).

Things that I need to get better at:

1. Improving SEO knowledge.
2. Getting better at acquiring higher-paying clients. This is something that I am still struggling with and want to actively work on. Currently, my strategy is to send out cold messages to businesses I find on google maps or through referrals.
3. Moving to a faster/better hosting platform with better compatibility for divi.
