I have been working very hard on my website the past few weeks, learning soooo much as I go along, learning by trial and error but also learning from my web designer.
I realised yesterday how my journey to mastering WordPress is similar to my clients’ journey to mastering ‘Feeling the Freedom’.
There are a lot of things my web designer did for me, and there are a lot of things I did myself (the whole content but also some basic design bits), and there are a lot of things that she showed me how to do and a lot of things that we did together (deciding on colours, widgets, add-ons, fonts, and of course the logo).
But I want to talk about all the things she did that meant I could carry on on my journey to mastering WordPress.
- She gave me some tools. ‘Here is how you do x, and the more you practise, the easier it will get as it will soon become second nature.’
- She provided me with solid methods. ‘Here are the steps to achieve y.’
- She believed in me and my own abilities and resources. By showing me or telling me how to do x, y and z, she showed me that she believed in me and in the fact that I could do it all by myself when she wasn’t around.
- She supported me. She was always there for me if I needed help with remembering how to do something or with doing something new. It gave me the confidence to carry on using the tools and perfecting my use of them.
- She empowered me. By doing 1., 2., 3. and 4. above, she made me feel like I could do it all by myself, now and in the future. Yes sometimes I get it wrong, but rather than asking her for more help, I first look for solutions myself – and she is the one who has made me feel like I have the power and confidence to do that.
