00:07:42 leighscott: haha
00:08:17 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Got my first client who is going from solo consultant to consulting firm, and that inspired me to go after that niche rather than solo consultant. But client already booked, so I’ll use her as market research and case study 😆

00:09:31 Robin Smith: The refresh was a client I was previously working with. The new site was someone who contacted me to fix some issues they were having and it was an old site and she needed to update and old site.

00:09:32 Valicia France: ok! XD

00:18:09 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I bought the Black Friday deal but had to cancel it bc I can’t find the time to set it up. It’s a monster!
00:18:17 Kate Newnham: I just wish they had newsletter functionality on Dubsado!

00:18:49 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Still doing everything with Acuity like Shannon taught us in 2017 😅
00:19:03 Megan Harrington: I got a VA to do it. It is a beast but she says that Dubsado is much better with customization of your workflows than honey book.
00:19:21 Trish Bovell: I’m still using multiple tools Need to automate
00:19:28 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Megan can I contact you about your VA?

00:23:33 Sez Gower | @whaletaildigital: When my biz name hit me (out of the blue, seriously) I adored it but worried people wouldn’t get it. But I have such a connection to it that I decided to go for it. And people actually LOVE it!
00:23:53 Lisa Doiron: I like it. I just used my name because I was having trouble deciding too!
