This was the first non-live episode of Genesis Office Hours! Thank you to the folks who submitted questions ahead of time for my guests. It was a pleasure to chat with Angie and Curtis – two motivated and smart people improving their WordPress businesses one day at a time.

In this episode, they talk about matching the right solution to a project and how that relates to value-based pricing.  We also discussed building professional confidence and making the transition from smaller projects to larger-scale work. I love Curtis’ and Angie’s honesty as they discuss the hiccups in their freelancing journeys and how they have pushed through to build better businesses.

Guests:

Angie Meeker – Owner of Angie Meeker Designs. She focuses on digital strategy and WordPress design with the Genesis Framework. In her spare time, she’s organizing WordCamp Columbus.
