How can relationship building help you organically grow your business?    I can confidently say that the relationships that I have built over my five years of entrepreneurship have single handedly taken my business to the next level, but I think that relationship building is so often overlooked!   As online business owners, we are stuck behind our computers a lot of the time, and we don’t really think about the importance of this. My guest, Shannon Mattern, is joining me in this episode to talk all about why relationships are so important for growth.   Shannon Mattern teaches non-techie DIYers how to build a website and get found online, and she teaches web designers how to create profitable, sustainable, scalable web design businesses. Shannon is also the host of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers, a podcast that shares side-hustle success stories and advice to help listeners go from side-hustle to self-employed (without taking a pay cut)!   Shannon shares with us how she went from side hustle to self-employed, the importance of relationship building to grow your business and how consistency and persistence are the key to success through it all.    If you underestimate the power that lies in relationship building, this is the episode that you need to hear!
