WP Battles: Entrepreneurship vs. Employment

The WordPress economy is huge and still growing. Have you found your place in it? As in any industry, one fundamental question to answer is whether you are cut out for working for yourself or for someone else. There are abundant opportunities to start and grow new businesses based on WordPress but there are also countless amazing companies that are well established and looking to hire. How can you decide what role you are meant to play? In this session we will take a detailed look at both sides, share the pros and cons for each and really break down the fundamental differences between starting a WordPress company and working for one. If you ever find yourself questioning whether you’re really doing what’s best for you, this session will help you really understand which path to choose.

Hi! I'm a native of California, though relocated to North Carolina in 2017. Currently providing WordPress development and support services through ConciergeWP.com. I produce a weekly podcasts at KitchenSinkWP.com & was the lead organizer for WordCamp Los Angeles 2016 & 2017. Since the cross-country move was so easy (not really) I also jumped right in and helped co-organize WC Raleigh in 2018. I've been married for 26 years to an amazing woman and I have 3 wickedly cool kids. Podcasts can be found here: kitchensinkwp.com/itunes
