00:01:06 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Swag is so much fun!
00:02:11 Anika Loewen: Sent out two Stationery quotes. I actually charged what I should instead of “feeling bad” because what they awnt is expensive. It’s not my responsibility to offset their costs because what they want is $$
00:02:31 Katheryn Symington: hello!
00:02:43 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Sort of a win? The person I thought said “yes” actually said “I need to think about it” and she said “not right now” but wants to work with me in the future. So the win is my response to it. I would have mentally deflated in the past, but NOW, I just thought “next” and “later” for her, and am moving forward.

00:04:02 Pauline Wiles: win – I did a paid discovery session and although the client wants to keep going with DIY, I loved the insights + education I was able to offer, over and above the time in a free consultation.

00:05:50 Angelica Hidalgo: Had a meeting for the small Shopify job I got, they were over the moon and said it looked so much better than it did before!! In front of the marketer that’s business built it initially 😂
He also called me last Friday because there’s the opportunity to build a 250 page website for a national company!! He’s still in talks with them but fingers crossed it works out. It’d be a massive 4 month job!
00:06:00 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Oh… one more win – I have some “practice” sessions set up with my Mom (who is so awesome) – we’ve made up a few businesses and we’re going to walk through my process so I can get comfortable verbally and test things, etc.

Thank you Erice 💛💛
00:16:05 Pauline Wiles: I've been thinking about back-up / what-ifs for a while. With clients paying deposits in advance, I want to feel OK they wouldn't be ghosted.
00:16:11 Kaitlyn Unger | KTU Designs LLC: Looking forward to learning more about Next Level!

00:20:43 Angie: I heard a few references in the modules about co-working sessions, do you still offer those as well?
00:22:29 Erica Nash: Replying to “I heard a few refere…”
Hey Angie! We don’t actually offer co-working sessions anymore as our attendance numbers didn’t support continuing them 🥲
00:23:36 Erica Nash: Here’s the link to the biz bestie form! I’ll share it in a future email also. If you’d like to participate, please submit the form by EOD May 21. https://airtable.com/appBKMODI6rJUNuPk/shr0YX4uEisMZS2SQ

Hi @Angie, I'd be interested in coworking if there's a day/time that works. I'm in the UK, so there might be a time difference.
00:27:18 Erica Nash: Yeah, it’s beautiful
00:30:26 Laura Nurse: Replying to “Yeah, it’s beautiful”
thanks Erica. 🙂
00:31:24 Laura Nurse: can you host it on your server until he pays you in full? then you retain control and he gets a site up.
00:31:38 Laura Nurse: and you give him runway to get himself sorted out
00:42:02 Angelica Hidalgo: Hahahaha sorry
00:43:46 Pauline Wiles: I think(?) I recall the conversation was, we shouldn't automatically label $10k as “high end” …. $10k should be a normal, expected, everyday number for a website. 🙂
00:44:07 Angelica Hidalgo: Reacted to “I think(?) I recall …” with ❤️
00:44:24 Angie: Yes I’m still having trouble untying the website from # of pages too because that’s how I was taught innitially
00:45:51 Anika Loewen: Oh man, I would love that so much!!!
00:45:53 Chantel Rudden: Would love this!!
00:45:59 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Absolutely! I’m in!
00:46:05 Angie: Here for that, strategy is my fav!
00:46:07 Angelica Hidalgo: Woo hoo!
00:46:34 Angelica Hidalgo: That’d be super cool
00:47:53 Angelica Hidalgo: Thank you!
00:48:30 Anika Loewen: Replying to “Woo hoo!”
I use Divi. It’s a big theme, and you need to have a good host (I use Siteground) But it is so robust
00:48:39 Angie: I’m with you on that for sure. I’m taking on many freelance clients while my web design biz grows
00:50:20 Angelica Hidalgo: I’m 23 girl
00:50:27 Angelica Hidalgo: Stuff that person
00:50:33 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Reacted to “Stuff that person” with ❤️
00:50:47 Anika Loewen: There are 11 year olds making millions on YouTube
00:50:48 Angie: I don’t think age has anything to do with it, if you can do the job it doesn’t matter! I’m “old” to be starting this journey but doing it anyway.
00:50:49 Diana Richards: Any sort of “you’re too…” comment says way more about the person who *said* it, not the person they said it to
00:50:49 Kaitlyn Unger | KTU Designs LLC: Agreed! Ignore them!
00:50:56 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: I work two part-time jobs along with building my business
00:50:56 Laura Nurse: @Maddison Manente – were all these people who told you that employees?
00:51:05 Angelica Hidalgo: Oftentimes the way people react or how they view the world is based on their own perception and limiting beliefs
00:51:58 Pauline Wiles: Jeez, and I worry I'm too old! I feel like the world will throw our age at us as a weapon, regardless of the number. (Bet nobody told Zuckerberg he was too young – or if they did, he didn't listen.)
00:52:03 Laura Nurse: Reacted to “Oftentimes the way p…” with 👏🏻
00:52:05 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Yes. What is their motivation behind what they are saying
00:52:06 Angelica Hidalgo: Aw Maddison, I’m so sorry to hear. I experience the same thing with family always telling me to choose the alternative. I’ve been working to cover baseline like mortgage, utilities etc.
Since this recent experience with this marketer. Is there the potential to start building relationships with agencies that you can get their overflow work from?
00:52:25 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Never too young. Never too old.
00:52:32 Angie: Reacted to “Never too young. Nev…” with ❤️
00:52:35 Pauline Wiles: Reacted to “Oftentimes the way p…” with 👍
00:52:41 Erica Nash: The world is sooooo different now too. If these people are traditionally employed and older and that’s the way it’s always been, they probably don’t understand what’s possible these days. Age has nothing to do with building a life you love!

00:53:45 Chantel Rudden: Hahah meanwhile I feel im too old to be a web designer, BUT I know that’s because I used to follow a lot of GenZ crazy good designers

00:54:32 Pauline Wiles: Reacted to “The world is sooooo …” with ❤️
00:55:04 Katheryn Symington: There are so many people in the world that were told that they couldn't obtain their dream job… and then they did it in style. Just keep your eye on your goals and dig in.
00:55:18 Kaitlyn Unger | KTU Designs LLC: Reacted to “There are so many pe…” with 👍🏻
00:55:31 Angelica Hidalgo: My immigrant Dad always mentions that maybe I should go be an accountant or do something else. I know it’s out of love and he doesn’t want to see me struggle like he did. But it fuels my motivation to make this work because I truly believe that I this should work.
We’re capable of anything we put our mind to. Age doesn’t mean anything. There’s no blueprint for life, just because someone else followed a certain path doesn’t mean you have to follow that too.
Also you’ll align with someone perfectly and the way that you are and your experiences will be exactly what people need.
