Tracy Rotton is a longtime friend of mine from the WordPress space - we met because we happened to be writing similar books around the same time! Well, Tracy has gone on to do some very cool things - one of which is leaning a WordPress development team for the Federal Government - specifically to completely redesign state.gov - the State Department's website. We talk about lots of stuff, from the actual development, to working for such a huge organization, and how to handle working with different corporate cultures. Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://taupecat.com/">Tracy Rotton</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/taupecat">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="http://taupecatstudios.com/">taupecatstudios.com</a></li><li><a href="https://state.gov">State.gov</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2Zw2RU5">Ruined by Design by Mike Monteiro</a></li><li><a href="https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/">ACF Pro</a></li><li><a href="https://underscores.me/">Underscores</a></li><li><a href="https://www.state.gov/u-s-department-of-state-archive-websites/">State Department Website archives</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://howibuilt.it/cloudways/">Cloudways</a> | <a href="https://useahoy.com/howibuiltit/">Ahoy!</a> | <a href="https://pantheon.io/gutenberg?utm_source=howibuiltit">Pantheon</a>

Building Better Marketing Automation through WordPress with Adrian Tobey

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.

Every week, one clear idea to help you get your time back without hiring a team...or selling your soul to AI. Start listening, then grab the free newsletter at https://streamlinedsolopreneur.com.
