In this episode, Ty and I discuss a few great topics! His company, Cantilever, focuses on strong client relationships that elicit enough trust to try cool, experimental projects, like what they did with Rustic Pathways. We talk about integrating the REST API in an interesting way, the importance of communicating with clients, and why trying a project as "just a project" might not be the best way to grow your business. Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://twitter.com/tyfuji">Ty Fujimura</a></li><li><a href="http://cantilever.co/">Cantilever</a></li><li><a href="https://rusticpathways.com/">Rustic Pathways</a></li><li><a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/">WordPress REST API</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://buildpodcast.net/boldgrid">BoldGrid</a> | <a href="http://hover.com/buildsomething">Hover.com</a>

Building Utility Plugins for WordPress with Tom McFarlin

Overwhelmed? Feel like your business can't run for a day without you? You're not alone.

When you're a solo business owner, everything ends up depending on you. You're the only one who can do the work, answer the email, keep the plates spinning. So you're on the hook every day: nights, weekends, even the vacations you do manage to take. The overwhelm never really lifts.

But being a solopreneur doesn't have to mean doing it all yourself. With the right systems, parts of your business can run without you. That's what gets you your time back, and gives you the freedom to take a real break. And the freedom to do the work you actually want instead of the work you feel stuck doing.

Joe Casabona learned this the hard way. He went from so overwhelmed he had a panic attack to taking 4–6 weeks off a year, worry-free, and he's helped hundreds of solopreneurs build systems that give them their time back.
