00:02:40 Erica Nash: Sent out my highest proposal to date last week. She hasn’t decided if she wants to move forward yet, but she asked some questions and had great feedback! I’m surprisingly detached from her final decision and it feels good. Like I’m sane, lol.
00:03:11 Erika ⚡ Brazen Babes Design: I always felt like it was wrong because it was different. Not remembering that different is AWESOME
00:03:28 Janet Hoover: Yep, she said I am her person

00:10:07 Erika ⚡ Brazen Babes Design: Nikki, that’s awesome! I’ve found when you first start reaching for the dream clients it always feels out of your league. Eventually, you realize that they’re still normal people.
00:10:18 LaShae Dorsey: wow @Mariela that’s amazing!

So many awesome wins!
00:10:31 Nikki Bartholomew: I am excited
00:10:38 Erica Nash: Gotta shoot your shot!

00:13:11 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: That’s great, Nikki! Did you have contact with them before or did you just message them?
00:13:32 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Thank you LaShae 🙂
00:14:22 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Shannon, the super long videos right now are daunting for me… 😆
00:14:40 Nikki Bartholomew: @Mariela both. Several I am a client/customer of theirs. 1 I am on their email list. And 2 or 3 of them, we have chatted casually in the comments section. I have a few people interested from previous interactions… so slowly but surely making headway
00:15:04 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Amazing Nikki!
00:16:27 Nikki Bartholomew: @Mariela I go a little crazy sometimes and fake it til I make it mentally LOL I nearly had a panic attack once I realized who I had just sent out messages to LOL
00:16:34 Nikki Bartholomew: 2x!!!!
00:16:38 Janet Hoover: So much excitement happening!
00:16:55 Nikki Bartholomew: Drives me nuts when 2x speed is like normal speed…
00:18:10 Janet Hoover: Yep
00:18:11 Nikki Bartholomew: I just got angry for you lol
00:23:09 Nikki Bartholomew: YES! Our garage calls us if they find something new, the old one would just fix it and charge you without asking. Drove me INSANE
00:25:59 Caitlin Harrison: Nikki! <3 its sooo scary and hard to be in this space
00:26:17 Kate Newnham: Nikki – I had that for years!
00:26:46 Helen: Sending hugs Nikki – I can relate to that feeling.
00:27:04 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Oh Nikki, I started looking for jobs like 3 times last year, but then my business exploded. Hold on tight, you will get there!
00:29:26 LaShae Dorsey: I love how you evaluated that @Nikki.
00:32:53 Nikki Bartholomew: Thank you guys!
00:33:04 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Shannon remember?? I even asked you what you thought..
00:35:15 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Silly question: Where do we post the questions for this call? I thought through the emails, but that is to submit the work reviews, right? Is there a thread in the FB group?
00:35:49 LaShae Dorsey: @Mariela it’s a link in the course portal to submit questions for strategy calls.
00:36:23 Erika ⚡ Brazen Babes Design: There’s an airtable form Mariela. I think you can find the link in the course dashboard and in the google meeting link
00:37:38 Nikki Bartholomew: https://airtable.com/shrQMjgC7CiiWTBsh
00:40:08 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Oh thank you! I’ve been here so long but I still don’t get everything all the time lol..
00:40:36 Nikki Bartholomew: It took me 5 mins to find it yesterday. I read over it LOL I just read over it again
00:46:02 Megan Harrington: Go for it!
00:46:40 Megan Harrington: I see free consults as a stepping stone and setting point for professionalism
00:46:41 judy bigham: if all they are concerned about is asking about price — that could be a red flag
00:47:00 Megan Harrington: so I move to the free consult asap so they realize this is a professional service, we will do it in a meeting
00:49:23 judy bigham: great question LaShae!!
00:49:26 Valicia: Ok! Thanks Judy and Megan!
00:50:49 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Sounds like you want to be an OBM
00:50:53 Janet Hoover: Like quality assurance
00:51:01 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Or a system’s person or a Project Manager
00:55:58 Janet Hoover: Collab with a designer and a developer can be the same person or different people — you “team” for a premium experience
00:56:41 Erica Nash: LaShae, as someone who pivoted, I can confirm everything Shannon is saying. All of the steps to building and marketing are the same. This program still works, but it absolutely is like starting over. That being said, I found my sweet spot when I decided to move forward with my pivot!
00:57:50 Megan Harrington: There are designers out there who hate to do what you like to do, you could team up with them maybe
00:58:02 Nikki Bartholomew: or do I need to find an HUGE introvert who LOVES building and not people-ing
01:04:33 Nikki Bartholomew: free therapy is my favorite
