The Power of Focusing on Mentorship: Building a Community Around Your Expertise

As a freelance WordPress developer, I have been fortunate enough to work on many exciting projects and build strong relationships with my clients. However, after several years of working in the field, I have come to realize that my true passion lies in providing mentorship and guidance to those who are interested in custom WordPress development.

As a result of this realization, I have made the decision to shift my focus away from taking on new freelance clients and towards building a community around my expertise. My primary approach will be community growing, which involves fostering relationships with individuals who are interested in custom WordPress development and building a community of like-minded individuals who can learn from one another.

By providing exceptional mentorship and guidance to those who are interested in custom WordPress development, I can help them achieve their goals and build a strong relationship with them that leads to referrals and a thriving community. I believe that this approach will allow me to make a bigger impact and build a stronger reputation for my expertise.

In addition to providing mentorship, I will also be expanding my creative work and blogging activities. This will allow me to share my knowledge and experience with others who are interested in custom WordPress development and provide ongoing mentorship to those who are part of my community.

I have found that providing mentorship and building a community around my expertise has many benefits. First and foremost, it allows me to share my knowledge and experience with others, which is something that I am truly passionate about. By providing mentorship, I can help others achieve their goals and build their careers in custom WordPress development, which is incredibly rewarding.

Secondly, building a community around my expertise allows me to position myself as a trusted advisor in the industry. By providing ongoing support and guidance to those who are interested in custom WordPress development, I can build strong relationships and earn the trust of my community members. This, in turn, can lead to more referrals and a stronger reputation in the industry.

Finally, by focusing on mentorship and building a community around my expertise, I can create a sense of purpose and fulfillment in my work. Instead of simply completing projects for clients, I can provide ongoing mentorship and support to those who are interested in custom WordPress development, which is something that I find truly fulfilling.

While I will no longer be taking on new freelance clients, I am excited about the opportunities that focusing on mentorship and community building will bring. I believe that this approach will allow me to make a bigger impact in the industry and build stronger relationships with those who are interested in custom WordPress development.

If you are a freelancer considering a similar approach, I encourage you to think about the benefits of focusing on mentorship and building a community around your expertise. By providing ongoing mentorship and guidance, you can build strong relationships and position yourself as a trusted advisor in your industry.

In conclusion, I believe that focusing on mentorship and building a community around my expertise is the right choice for me and my business.
