This Week's Questions

Chat

00:00:30 Janet Hoover: I'm SO fired up to be here!!!
00:00:57 Janet Hoover: Yes, that was AWESOME!!
00:01:04 Mia Rendon: Was the call recorded?
00:01:08 Caitlin Harrison: I can't wait to watch the replay!
00:01:15 Erica Nash: It's also in the newsletter!
00:01:40 Janet Hoover: The last couple of weeks I was struggling with a LOT of imposter syndrome with my site not being live yet (mainly due to so much great client work which I'm so thankful for). But, my plan to focus only on that the last couple of weeks was interrupted both my dad AND Father-in-law being in the hosp. 😳 Long story short, my win is after some mind trash struggling I am working hard to be kinder to myself, release the anxiety, and guilt of feeling anxious about MY things. It was hard but I kept reminding myself, that's one reason we work for ourselves- so we CAN take time off for family and other important things when needed. It's ok and things will work out! 🙂 Thank you Shannon (and everyone!) for reminding us that no win is too small!! I needed that last week! ❤️
00:02:36 Laura Byrge: I finished 95% of module 4 in a weekend!
00:02:45 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Had a client choose my 10k premium package! They decided to push development out until fall so no deposit/contract aka not a done deal but funny enough, I don’t even really care! A big first and pretty proud of myself!
00:02:46 Aisha Beauford – 1: Finished 1st draft of my pricing matrix. 🥳
00:02:53 Erica Nash: So sorry to hear about that, Janet! How is everyone now? Love that you're being kind to yourself!
00:02:58 Mia Rendon: Proud of myself for following through with all the follow up even though the client didn’t end up signing the contract and paying the invoice. Working on reframing this as her loss and not mine!
00:02:59 judy bigham: my work with me page is finally live!
00:03:09 Erica Nash: Yes, Laura!! That's a huge win!!
00:03:15 Caitlin Harrison: I was super panicked after that client feedback email came in with soooo many suggestions but I took that energy and asked the group for guidance!
00:03:28 Lisa Doiron: I messed up on a previous client project and am slowing working through the solution, and am doing well so far not beating myself up even though I feel responsible.
00:03:35 Erica Nash: That feels so good, Kaila!! To be that detached. Love it!
00:03:42 Courtney Wilson: Biggest win this week: we've been getting better with boundaries. We told a client who wanted a rush job (live website within a day or two) that we couldn't even start until September. We're also making our way through module 3, and have a call with the people who used to own RE/MAX Canada tomorrow (OMG – freaking out a little here)
00:03:45 Trish Bovell: Continuing to work on my money mindset. Some times things are investments not expenses.
00:04:00 Erica Nash: So many great wins this week!! Amazing work, everyone!!
00:04:11 Janet Hoover: Kaila that is AWESOME!!

00:09:18 Courtney Wilson: @Nay good for you! That's so super important!
00:17:59 Caitlin Harrison: I get those too
00:18:32 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: I've probably had 3 leads in the past few months that wanted a timeline of less than a month. It's wild.
00:18:56 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: And same thing, one of them wasn't available for a consult for two weeks into that one month haha
00:18:57 Trish Bovell: @Kaila that's when you charge a rush fee
00:18:59 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Like what?
00:19:23 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Yep! I was going to suggest that too to Lisa if she did end up wanting to accomdate them. Quote them 20k! Muahaha
00:19:29 Trish Bovell: double. I did that with one client & they backed off
00:19:35 Trish Bovell: and adjusted their timeline
00:19:55 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Totally! Makes them reconsider whether their timeline is actually worth the cost.
00:20:11 Trish Bovell: right – only if it makes sense for you
00:21:35 Janet Hoover: Oh my gosh…TOTALLY my problem
00:21:54 Melissa Miller: My problem too!!!
00:22:01 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Yupp
00:22:48 leighscott: I dont talk to humans before coffee
00:23:00 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: coffee with frida :p
00:23:07 leighscott: Haha yup!
00:23:50 Caitlin Harrison: it's so hard! its definitely an employee mindset
00:24:00 Caitlin Harrison: my former boss would freak out if I didnt reply in 15 minutes
00:24:13 Erica Nash: I love the snooze button SO MUCH
00:25:20 Lauren N.: 15 mins! that's crazy haha
00:26:23 Janet Hoover: Same ….all the things
00:26:25 Melissa Miller: You sound SO much like me!!!
00:26:26 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Would it work to slot out a morning or an afternoon a week? When I first joined the course, I set aside Thursday mornings for my own stuff.
00:26:45 Caitlin Harrison: I know, the window got smaller during the pandemic. she was very much a “if you arent at your desk that I can see, you aren't work” heaven forbid that I was WORKING and DESIGNING outside my inbox
00:27:51 Courtney Wilson: LOL. The worst boss I had would email me, and call me immediately afterwards to tell me he emailed me. I feel your pain @Caitlin.
00:28:09 Caitlin Harrison: @courtney you just gave me a flashback!!
00:28:14 Caitlin Harrison: the woooooorst
00:28:28 Trish Bovell: I had a very similar boss @Courtney. Back when I had a pager she would call me to tell me she just paged me.
00:29:32 Janet Hoover: I’m sticking that on my desk “Create the time!!”
00:29:45 Deanna: You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time 😜
00:30:00 Janet Hoover: tue

00:31:26 Erica Nash: A onesie 🤣🤣
00:31:37 Nay Stevens: @Courtney! I had a client last year that did that!!! Needless to say I'm not working with him anymore
00:32:00 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Once it gets colder here I'll be in my sushi onesie permanently! You'll see her in all her glory :p
00:32:11 Janet Hoover: 😂
00:32:23 Mia Rendon: Love that, Kaila!!😂

00:49:34 Deanna: DANG THAT WAS DEEP!!!!!!
00:49:55 Lauren N.: very deep!
00:50:47 Deanna: I can think of endless projects I did that where when scope creep was crazy i wanted to say “I DIDNT EVEN CHARGE YOU FULL PRICE!!!” 🤯
00:51:02 BrittneyHonkomp: Marie Forleo wrote a book called Everything Is Figureoutable. It's soo good!
00:51:11 Nay Stevens: Lol Deanna! Yep def been there!

00:51:41 Caitlin Harrison: I'm still staring at this client email to set boundaries on the logo design
00:52:17 Erica Nash: You curled your hair at 2 AM???!! 🤣
00:52:19 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: That's totally a thing! Some of my bravest work happens at 3am!
00:52:41 leighscott: Haha, ive never turned my camera on for a Loom! Im impressed
00:53:01 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Yah! I don't either actually! Come to think of it!

00:56:14 Janet Hoover: See….you DO know a lot!
00:57:18 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: I loved what Shannon said on the Josh Hall podcast – it's not your job to save a client money, it's your job to help them make more of it!
00:57:28 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: (or something like that, hopefully I didn't brutalize that)
00:57:51 Nay Stevens: Just listened to that last night!! Blew my mind!
