I’m a HUGE hockey fan LOL – that’s one reason I’m doing my business – so I can go to every NHL arena and see a game
00:13:46 Chantel Rudden: Reacted to “I’m a HUGE hockey fa…” with ❤️
00:14:21 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “I may make a chart f…”

sort of – but more like a game… we used to ride our bikes as kids… and pull out a map and chart our miles in other places than where we actually rode (I rode all over Paris one time) Mom would have us get our encyclopedia and atlas out (this was before Internet/google) and look at all the things we “rode” by.
00:15:08 Laura Nurse: @Anika Loewen are you fitting this project in around other already scheduled projects? If so, this is rush pricing.
00:17:09 Angelica Hidalgo: There’s apps that allow this in Shopify!
00:17:21 Angelica Hidalgo: For wholesaler pricing
00:19:05 Laura Nurse: Can you just ask her what her deadline is?
00:20:23 Erica Nash: Maybe you can incentivize only the highest package with a fast action or pay in full bonus.
00:30:10 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Reacted to “World domination” with 😂
00:30:24 Angelica Hidalgo: @Erica Nash I have a question if we have time after the submitted ones
00:30:41 Anika Loewen: Reacted to “Maybe you can incent…” with 👍🏻
00:30:58 Erica Nash: Reacted to “@Erica Nash I have a…” with ✅
00:31:05 Laura Nurse: how does this work? Do we submit questions ahead of time only? And is it only through the link in the email?
00:33:58 Anika Loewen: Yes! I too am on that perfectionism train! It’s so hard!
00:34:05 Angelica Hidalgo: I feel that Sharece! It can be exhausting
00:34:06 Laura Nurse: @Erica Nash – can you paste the question in the chat… sometimes I need to read it to catch it all. Visual learner here. 🙂 If it’s not done for a reason that’s cool, no explanation needed.
00:35:03 Erica Nash: Replying to “@Erica Nash – can yo…”

For sure! Some of the questions are pretty long, but I don’t see why we can’t do this for shorter ones! You might have to remind me if I forget since this isn’t part of our practice right now, so please do if I forget!
00:35:15 Erica Nash: Replying to “@Erica Nash – can yo…”

If there is still time today, I'd like coaching around Workbook 3, the Premium Pricing Paradigm Shift Exercise. For the question, “When I charge that premium price for ONE project, I feel…”, I found myself feeling excited but also overwhelmed by thoughts of needing to be perfect at all costs. Erica your feedback was amazing! Perfectionism has cost me burnout in the past and I would like to see how I can reframe and navigate this to move forward in enjoying design! Thank you!
00:38:53 Angelica Hidalgo: Can I comment on being a guide rather than being perfect please?
00:42:22 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: One really good thing is that they don’t hear what’s going on in our own heads.
00:42:44 Sharece O'Neal: Love that! Thank you Angelica!

00:44:06 Angelica Hidalgo: Yes please I have a question
00:45:20 Anika Loewen: Has the original project been completed?
00:45:48 Anika Loewen: OOOOH! I have an invoicing software system that could help with that!!!
00:45:55 Angelica Hidalgo: Reacted to “OOOOH! I have an inv…” with ❤️
00:46:21 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “OOOOH! I have an inv…”

Do tell!
00:46:28 Anika Loewen: Replying to “OOOOH! I have an inv…”

Angelica, reach out to me after, and I can let you know how that works!
00:46:41 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “OOOOH! I have an inv…”

@Anika Loewen I will!!
00:47:03 Anika Loewen: Replying to “OOOOH! I have an inv…”

Oh! I use Tave for my invoicing. It allows you to build estimates that are a la carte
00:47:09 Anika Loewen: Replying to “OOOOH! I have an inv…”

It’s REALLLLLLY helpful
00:47:35 Anika Loewen: Replying to “OOOOH! I have an inv…”

00:51:54 Anika Loewen: But they are still wasting your time to put that info together!!
00:52:37 Anika Loewen: You should charge for estimation and then credit to their account when they book
00:53:53 Laura Nurse: you can also do a half day? instead of a full day?
00:54:17 Anika Loewen: Emergency fees
00:54:23 Laura Nurse: Reacted to “Emergency fees” with ❤️
