In this episode, I share my incredible journey from being a full-time worship pastor to becoming a successful full-time web designer. Facing personal and financial challenges, I reinvented my career, starting by telling everyone I knew about my new venture. Despite setbacks and fears, I persevered, eventually finding success on platforms like Upwork and securing a position at Showit. Motivated by my own transformation, I now help others transition into web design through my initiative, Self Made Web Designer. My story is a testament to starting before feeling ready, embracing fear, and seizing new opportunities.
I get personal on this one and share my story. It was a struggle to leave full time ministry but looking back I think it was the right decision.
