00:01:09 Deanna: I’m back!!! LOL
00:01:11 Janet Hoover: Hello fam!
00:01:24 Erica Nash: Hi guys! 🎉
00:01:33 Robin Smith: Attending the Profit Summit this week. Also have signed contract a payment from new client.
00:02:29 Anchen: Yay! Timezone change makes this not too late for me😀
00:02:43 LaShae Dorsey: Sent out an outreach email to my truest dreamium client AND got a reply.
00:02:55 Janet Hoover: Had a good client chat (with a current client for a website redesign/rebrand) she was so impressed over the thoughtful questions – it was nice to have a low-stress consult lol
00:03:03 Anchen: Thanks Shannon
00:03:20 Janet Hoover: I started digging in to the summit today – Yay Anchen and Shannon!! Woo!!
00:03:38 Rachel Briscoe: I’m attending too! Got the power pack!!
00:04:01 Robin Smith: Yea…to the Profit Summit, I won the Private Focus Session. Can't wait.
00:04:53 Janet Hoover: YAY LaShae!!!!
00:04:53 Rachel Briscoe: Awesome LaShae!
00:05:10 Rachel Briscoe: Fab Janet!!!
00:05:21 LaShae Dorsey: Yass Janet!
00:05:46 LaShae Dorsey: Robin that's so awesome!
00:05:49 Robin Smith: The Power Pack is such a bargain. So much content.
00:06:03 Caitlin Harrison: Fighting a lot of imposter syndrome this week so trying to think of a win… showing up here today even when I want to hide away?
00:07:07 Janet Hoover: Cool Robin!
00:07:31 Janet Hoover: Go Shannon!!
00:08:05 Janet Hoover: Yes, Caitlin!!
00:08:38 LaShae Dorsey: That's a huge win @Caitlin!
00:08:40 Deanna: Going to try to remember my question lo
00:08:45 Janet Hoover: I want to hear about LaShae’s person
00:09:54 Deanna: How exactly are you presenting your proposals? I currently use dubsado and want to present my matrix as a proposal with add ons, but I still find myself doing custom proposals anyway
00:11:46 Janet Hoover: It happen to all of us! Annoying…but you’re not alone
00:12:24 Robin Smith: Meg with SEO and Megan Flatt with Focus are favorites from Profit Summit
00:12:50 Deanna: The most consistent thing about WordPress is its INCONSISTENCY 🤦‍♀️
00:14:29 Janet Hoover: I literally had to reach out to 2 different experts for things (PHP and Google Wkspace email) — so….get your little black book set up. There is no way I could do all the things without my contacts
00:14:48 Janet Hoover: *last week
00:15:20 Leigh Scott: I just had 5 support tickets submitted for 5 plugins at the same time for 1 client
00:16:45 Deanna: YESSSS!!! Same!!!
00:16:48 Deanna: Good for you!
00:17:57 Janet Hoover: That’s my biggest problem. How can you stop dropping things and people pleasing? because I”m not getting things done as quickly as I would like to (plus stopping and starting messes with my brain and rhythm )
00:18:36 Trish Bovell: glad I could make it 🙂
00:18:41 Leigh Scott: sometimes when I’m stuck in the messy tech details, I just need to step away and do something completely different so I can see it again later with fresh eyes
00:18:55 Erica Nash: We’re glad you’re here, Trish!
00:20:27 Trish Bovell: thanks, Erica
00:21:29 Trish Bovell: win – I told a client I couldn't help her with an application that I don't support.
00:23:00 Kate Newnham: I started partnering up with people who do complementary services, which has taken some of the pressure off having to do it all.
00:23:37 Rachel Briscoe: This is really helpful to hear for me too
00:24:18 Trish Bovell: it's the age old question of specialist vs. generalist. Specialists get paid more $$
00:24:53 Kate Newnham: Question: I may partner up with someone who does the tech backend of websites and I just do the design. It may take me less time so should I offer less for my packages? I’m finding my prices are scaring people off and while I know you’ll say not to, I really think I have to…
00:24:55 Rachel Briscoe: That’s exactly what I’ve been doing – learning incessantly and not implementing
00:25:54 Kate Newnham: So true @Trish!!
00:25:59 Janet Hoover: Great question, Kate! I’m wondering the same – I want to do the opposite – someone else do the design and I do the dev
00:26:19 Kate Newnham: Let’s partner up! LOL
00:27:06 Janet Hoover: I’m all in, girl!!
00:27:19 Trish Bovell: I love the design. The dev gives me stress 🙂
00:27:29 Kate Newnham: Yup @Trish
00:28:12 Shannon Mattern: https://www.malcare.com/
00:34:46 Deanna: Do we have someone in the group that can maybe do a presentation or class on best security practices and what to do when these things happen?
00:42:37 Deanna: Totally get it – it would be outdated in 48 minutes 😂
00:42:58 Erica Nash: https://webdesigneracademy.com/bonuses/
00:43:07 Erica Nash: How to clean up a hack
00:47:23 Deanna: THANK YOU ♥️
00:47:41 Trish Bovell: Look forward to seeing it !
00:49:01 Deanna: I’ll share mine in the group as well 🙂
00:49:14 Rachel Briscoe: Thanks Deanna
00:50:44 Trish Bovell: I haven't checked my email yet today
00:51:52 Kate Newnham: I know a coach who says in her footer “I check email at 10am and 4pm each day. If something is urgent, please call me at xx.”
00:52:21 Trish Bovell: I like that Kate
00:52:45 Kate Newnham: (I don’t do it, but… LOL) I have similar issues to Janet
00:53:11 Robin Smith: I couldn't do it. I'm addicted to checking email and messges.
00:55:22 Deanna: Here’s one I have –
