00:18:39 Erica Nash: When is it due?
00:19:30 Laura Nurse: What about if you just do the Patrick for the whole package, but offer to discuss making changes adding and subtracting as needed in your cover letter that goes with it? My instinct is NOT to spend any time piecing things out unless specifically requested.
00:19:59 Laura Nurse: don’t make work for yourself unless they ask for it – (I learned that lesson the hard way)

I have to remind myself of this often. It’s such good advice!

00:27:19 Sarah Guilliot (SarahDesign.com): Wanted to share my wins since I joined late: I did a biz experiment with a new offer to see if I like and I didn’t like it so I won’t be doing it 🙂

And it helped me realize I have plenty to do with my current offers to make them smoother and continue to make them better and that’s enough! So…double win 🥇

And third win is, I’m feeling fragile today so I joined the call to feel uplifted and it’s working! ❤️

00:41:42 Trish Bovell: thanks – I heard something I needed to hear
00:41:43 Laura Nurse: Replying to “Ohhhh, “the book's c…”

yeah. I snooped around the backend of her account… looked like white label lash up of click funnels plus others in terms of the interface. their site and materials remind me of the kajabi launch back in 2014ish? When they were still NewKajabi
