00:01:35 rachelbriscoe: Awesome Jo-Anne!
00:01:40 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Emailed that zombie client. 🙈 She came back saying that was fine (phew!) and she'd provide the content by the deadline.
Which is tomorrow. So we'll see haha
00:01:44 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Yaaaay Jo-Anne!
00:01:57 Jo-Anne Clifford: thanks ladies x

00:03:16 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Thanks so much ladies! Big sigh of relief after that went out haha
00:03:22 rachelbriscoe: I've been going through design courses and your 5-day website challenge (which is fabulous!). I thought I was overthinking but realise I did actually need the refresher and I feel more confident now.
00:03:46 Amanda Toth: Booked a logo client for a VIP half day and finished up a zombie client and she said she will move forward with a maintenance plan (I've never had one before! lol)
00:03:48 Angela Bamford: Well done Sez – I'm going to try your tactics on a zombie client
00:03:51 Amanda Toth: the 5 day challenge is amazing
00:04:11 Anchen Le Roux: We’re doing a design sprint this 2 weeks to get the Summit SiteKick templates done before my designer goes on Maternity leave (Not sure if this is a win – but at least an action 🙂 )
00:04:12 rachelbriscoe: Looking forward to it!
00:04:13 Jo-Anne Clifford: Yay Amanda! 🙌🏻
00:04:24 Michelle Pontvert: I wrapped up a branding project and she loves it so much she's asked me to do her website too!! But I'm feeling all the feelings about that now 😅
00:04:46 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: That's awesome Rachel – nice work!
00:05:08 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Amanda, congrats! That's really great to hear!
00:05:31 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Thanks Angela – it is scary at the time but it did feel good once I pressed send 😀
00:06:00 rachelbriscoe: That's great Michelle!!!
00:06:26 Jo-Anne Clifford: its 7am, we forgive you! haha
00:06:30 Angela Bamford: I held my boundaries and refused to do a request from a client which they considered urgent, but was only urgent down to their bad planning
00:06:35 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Congrats Anchen! Definitely a win!
00:06:48 Angela Bamford: Well done Amanda!
00:06:52 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: That's okay – we've just moved house it could be tied up
00:07:18 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Whoa Michelle! Branding and now the website? Amazing work!!
00:07:35 Angela Bamford: Yay Michelle!
00:07:44 Amanda Toth: OO Michelle sounds exciting! You'll do great!
00:07:46 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Yessss Angela – hold those boundaries! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
00:09:03 rachelbriscoe: That's so brave Angela! Well done!
00:09:21 Amanda Toth: That's massive well done Angela!
00:10:02 Jo-Anne Clifford: woohoo!!
00:16:00 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Also, what if her brand photos are delayed for whatever reason and aren't delivered on the date she says? The work would be pushed back anyway
00:16:04 rachelbriscoe: She probably doesn't want to go with someone else either Michelle!
00:16:16 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Excellent point, Rachel 🙂
00:17:28 Angela Bamford: Brand photos are often delayed
00:23:58 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Ooh, yeah, a couple of proposal follow ups that I've slacked on 🙈🙈
00:25:05 Jo-Anne Clifford: yeah me too Sez
00:32:59 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Okay, proposal follow up #1 done. Yikes. Why is emailing so nerve wracking? haha
00:33:59 Jo-Anne Clifford: give me email over zoom discovery calls anyday Sez
00:35:04 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Haha Jo-Anne – I'll agree with you there. Actually, ‘no contact' is sometimes preferred 😂
00:35:57 rachelbriscoe: LOL Sez 😂
00:36:16 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: I think it's just that email is still so hard with ‘tone of voice' and how things are perceived.
00:37:25 Angela Bamford: Some people I know use bonjoro instead of emails
00:39:22 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: What a keeper!!
00:39:44 rachelbriscoe: That's wonderful Jo-Anne 🌸
00:44:56 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Proposal follow up #2 done. (Eating lots of 🐸 tonight)

00:46:14 Shannon Mattern: That’s me looking up the login for our Trauma-Informed coaching training that Erica and I are taking so we can better support you all 🙂
00:58:18 rachelbriscoe: That's amazing Shannon. Trauma is a huge factor in the mindset issues I have.
00:58:45 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: Sent of 3 proposal follow ups AND 3 long overdue emails to clients (that I'd been putting off) so feeling good those are off my plate! 🥳
00:58:52 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: *sent off
00:58:58 Anchen Le Roux: I created 9 of my template pages. (Grayscaled it from previous designs) Can't believe how quick it went. And I was putting it off.
