The WordPress Trap.
Like most people starting out, I was told WordPress was the only way. And while I still respect its power as the engine of the internet, for an entrepreneur who wants to focus on content and growth, it can quickly turn into a technical cage.
I call it "Plugin Soup." You start with one plugin for your funnel, another for your email, and a few more for hosting and CRM. Then you need to hire someone—or spend your own weekends—making them all talk to each other.
Integrations were constant stress. Every routine update was a high-stakes gamble: Would my checkout page break? Would my email sequences stop firing? I was suffering from "Shiny Object Syndrome," piecing together incompatible tools and wasting thousands of dollars.
"I felt more like a part-time developer than a business owner. My tools were controlling me."
