Starting Web Design Company(Progress Thread)

[BasedDin99]

Hello everyone, I read TMF a few years back but I never really acted on what I learned from it. A couple of years ago I read Fox's thread about starting a web design company and I started to learn html but I stopped shortly after starting. A couple of weeks ago I read Sean's post about starting a digital marketing agency and I started looking into it more. I finally started taking some action after reading that whole thread, my reason for finally starting to take things seriously was that things finally became too much. I have made some financial mistakes and the debt is starting to wear on my mind. I need to do something to fix my situation.

I work a part time job where I usually work 30 hours a week, I'm also a student and I'm taking 20 units this semester, so most of my time is spent doing classwork or at my job.

So far what I've done is I had bought a digital marketing course on Udemy and I have been working my way through the content, I just finished the SEO section and I found Fox's new challenge thread and it made me realize that I should also learn web design so I'm going through the html section on CodeAcademy right now. I also made a couple of sales calls to some general contractors and construction companies local to me, I didn't make any sales but I did learn a few valuable things, mainly that niche doesn't need marketing as much in my area(most businesses are already booked with work months to years in advance)

My goals for this year:
1: Make enough to pay off my credit debt of 8k. I know this may not seem like a huge number to some people but its wearing at my mind every day
2: Pay off half of what I owe on my car= 10k
3: Minimum of 7k in savings
4: Hit atleast 50k in profit this year.
