What tools helped you the most when you started out?
My husband and I started Snaply Sites as a side hustle while working full time. Balancing jobs, everyday life and a growing business has been a challenge, but we love seeing the impact we’re making! We’ve supported businesses in more than seven states with our web design service, and we’re still growing!
What advice do you have for people considering starting a business?
Just start! Your first attempt won’t be your best attempt. Start small. The secret isn’t motivation, it’s momentum. Take one tiny step today, then another tomorrow.
