00:10:51 Kate Newnham: Yay Lauren!
00:12:22 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: Congrats, Lauren!
00:16:34 Nay Stevens: Great question Kate!
00:16:43 judy bigham: kate it's not personal
00:19:26 Sharon Blalock OBM: I look at feedback in two ways… if it is negative, what is happening in their life, are htey having a bad day… and 2) is this something that I can improve on for my next client and take it as a self improvement opportunity.
00:22:47 judy bigham: it's not about getting it right the first time
00:22:52 leighscott: The way I see it is feedback is an opinion and everyone has an opinion… I only take to heart the feedback of people I trust and even then I don't always agree with it
00:30:45 Kate Newnham: @Leigh – opinions are like a**holes. everyone has one, right? LOL
00:30:46 Melissa Miller: Kate – I always learn somehting from your questions! Thank You!!!
00:31:22 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: Oooh.. I've been there!!
00:31:37 Kate Newnham: Aww happy to hear that @Melissa! It's the stuff about building a business that's icky (and vulnerable to share)
00:31:57 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: Not feeling like you are good enough for a job as a web designer and thinking of going back to your old job. It sucks, but if you keep going in your business, it gets better!
00:32:08 Kate Newnham: Yes @Judy! Thank you @Sharon!
00:32:21 Kate Newnham: Been there!!!
00:33:15 Janet Hoover: We all have those thoughts every now and then….hang in there!
00:33:25 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: We are MORE than only web designers. We are brand and business designers!!
00:33:58 Aisha Beauford: Right!? I’m stuck on that dream life.
00:36:02 Deanna: We are the makers of dreams – ours and our clients ♥️
00:36:18 Deanna: (Paraphrasing Willy Wonka LOL)
00:36:26 Janet Hoover: I thought so lol
00:37:11 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I needed to hear about the templates today lol.. it's been on my mind, too!
00:37:30 Janet Hoover: I've had templates on the brain for years lol
00:37:33 Melissa Miller: That's me! I’m focusing wayyy to much on my website… and really I need clients, so frustrating.
00:37:38 Deanna: And you have to deal with 1000’s of people who have no clue what they are doing and want you to fix it – FOR FREE
00:38:01 Kate Newnham: It's true – I would have to sell like 25 vs. get 1 client (depending on price obviously)
00:39:01 Melissa Miller: The outreach emails make me so nervous.
00:40:05 Deanna: Create more passive income – affiliates for plugins, courses, create printable for your own clients
00:40:08 Becky Swan: I would never 😂
00:40:10 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: sooooo true lol
00:40:22 Melissa Miller: That was a great podcast!
00:41:32 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: that's a great idea!
00:42:32 Sharon Blalock OBM: Maybe next time you go, you can send the outreach emails while you are on vacation, so that when you get back you have a client or two waiting for you when you get back
00:42:33 Kate Newnham: Anything to avoid actually having to work with clients 😉
00:46:27 Kate Newnham: You got this Judy!
00:46:35 judy bigham: thx kate 😉
00:46:47 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I'd like to talk about the recession question
00:46:53 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I posted in the group
00:47:16 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: Was doing my nails, sorry 😄
00:47:22 Kate Newnham: People will need more websites!
00:55:40 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: the people who are willing to pivot are more hybrid or investment minded and the expense minded people may not make it
00:55:51 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: yeah exactly
00:56:04 Kate Newnham: I try to block the noise out
00:58:02 Deanna: Maybe that’s a cue to send out a newsletter or create a blog post about WHY it’s a good time to build an online business 😉
00:58:31 Deanna: PLUS your site
00:58:47 Kate Newnham: Thank you! Best group ever!
00:58:49 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: have fun at your retreat!!
