00:00:42 Kim Brock: Hello! 👋
00:03:05 Rachel Briscoe: It was amazing Shannon!!!
00:03:19 Nay Stevens: It was soo good!!!
00:03:43 Kim Brock: Loved the retreat!
00:03:51 Sharon Blalock OBM: I’ve been able to keep to my daily schedule, getting lots done, and still have time left over, which makes me fill like I’m actually accomplishing something!
00:03:53 Rachel Briscoe: That’s great!!! Congratulations!!!
00:03:59 Laura Byrge: Loved the retreat!!
00:04:02 Sharon Blalock OBM: Your retreat was awesome!
00:04:11 Deanna: I felt super confident in my experience and skills when I told a past client that what I could do for $1800 was “nothing” 😜
00:04:20 Cynthia Norman: Me too – I learned so much!
00:04:26 Kim Brock: Scheduled a virtual planning/2023 goal setting session with my favorite web designer I work with so we can kick butt together next year, and have a call this week to iron out the details about a retainer client for next year 😄
00:04:41 Rachel Briscoe: @Deanna LOL!!! 😂
00:06:13 Lisa Doiron: I purged, organized and cleaned out my office on the weekend! And I have been keeping up with my marketing outreach and follow up goals.
00:07:29 Nay Stevens: I have been consistent with my marketing efforts since the retreat. I believed I wasn't a good marketer but after doing the time blocking exercise, I just view it as “it's on my schedule, so that's what I do at this time.” Turns out I'm actually enjoying marketing!! I have taken the emotion out of it – there is no attachment to the result. I view it as a success that I sent the emails or connecting. It feels like such a relief!
00:11:15 Rachel Briscoe: I’m signing up again should I come along anyway?
00:11:33 Shannon Mattern: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84351640134?pwd=WG1DUXlBd3BVSys4VE1lbjNHUFNyZz09
00:11:42 Lauren N.: Win: I told my clients I’m going on a holiday break and taking the week of Christmas off!
00:11:55 Rachel Briscoe: Thanks Shannon x
00:15:00 Lisa Doiron: Way to go Sharon!
00:15:58 Leigh: Yea, that’s an awesome pivot!
00:19:39 Rachel Briscoe: I’ve been so busy working on other projects I’m only getting to work on my own website now
00:20:50 Rachel Briscoe: I so need to hear this too!
00:21:48 Deanna: Trust me – I had plenty of clients that never saw my site – like EVER. It’s more important to us than them ♥️
00:24:07 Melissa Miller: I’m kind of in the same boat Lauren!
00:32:03 Deanna: “Based on you being a lame arse…” lol
00:35:52 Deanna: Would you recommend putting that verbiage in your contracts? Like non payment within 72 hours?
00:37:08 Melissa Miller: Sometimes? All the time… It’s SO hard to get content from them!
00:37:25 Rachel Briscoe: My first client thanked me for pushing the project along – she said she never would have gotten it done if not for the nudging.
00:39:21 Racheal Graham | GreenHouse Creative: Doing that call to walk through the planner has definitely worked better for me after struggling through this exact same scenario before
00:40:04 Melissa Miller: Good idea! I’m going to do that!
00:41:18 Rachel Briscoe: Love this question!
00:41:31 Trish Bovell: fantastic question
00:41:31 Laura Byrge: Ahh yes that!! I’m struggling with that one too.
00:41:53 Melissa Miller: WOW! I feel same way Lisa, thank you for asking this!
00:42:20 Trish Bovell: Febreeze!
00:42:34 Deanna: Lol – i get that TOTALLY
00:45:41 Deanna: I think you need to kind of qualify that – kind of like cars – *your mileage may vary – results are not guaranteed
00:54:00 Deanna: Could you create a guide for after your projects giving them “best practices” so that at least in your head you’ve given them the tools they need – after that it’s truly up to them?
00:55:24 Sharon Blalock OBM: You can only do so much
00:56:00 Sharon Blalock OBM: You can only provide them the tool
00:56:02 Nay Stevens: I feel like it's like buying a lawn mower from Home Depot or something like that… You have to use it as it was intended otherwise your lawn won't be mowed automatically
00:56:08 Rachel Briscoe: For sure!!!
00:56:28 Deanna: @nay – or your limbs might get mowed instead 😂
00:56:39 Nay Stevens: 🤣
00:58:32 Sharon Blalock OBM: Then those are probably not your ideal clients
00:58:56 Caitlin Harrison: you need new friends 😂
00:59:14 Deanna: YES Caitlin!!!
00:59:30 Rachel Briscoe: What about your livelihood? YES!
00:59:44 Cynthia Norman: what about covering overhead, training etc
00:59:51 Rachel Briscoe: Plus valuing yourself can rub off on them if you explain why
00:59:55 Deanna: If their boss asked them to just take 1/2 their paycheck this time would they?
01:00:11 Rachel Briscoe: So true!
01:01:05 Sharon Blalock OBM: Stick with your first thoughts
01:01:07 Deanna: GET OUTTA MY HEAD!
01:01:30 Lisa Doiron: LOL Deanna! 😆
01:01:58 Erica Nash: If you’re planning to join the coaching call for those considering renewal, it’s happening as soon as we end this! Here’s the link again: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84351640134?pwd=WG1DUXlBd3BVSys4VE1lbjNHUFNyZz09
01:02:16 Deanna: Laura if it helps I’ve been doing this for 15 years and still have that immediate dread right after I submit or send ♥️
01:02:39 Deanna: Tequila helps (kidding!)
01:03:22 Rachel Briscoe: So Caitlin you are my inspiration for 2023!
01:03:31 Caitlin Harrison: omg stop it
01:03:43 Rachel Briscoe: 🙌
01:03:44 Caitlin Harrison: I am just faking it all as I go
01:03:57 Deanna: ♥️♥️♥️
