I had the opportunity to get on the phone with 20 people that are a part of my audience and learn so much about them. It was really awesome because these calls were set up more as strategy sessions. I was able to help them get through and solve something, get through a struggle that they were having, a decision they needed to make or something else and actually get them one step closer to reaching their goals to taking that next step, getting them to take action.This one is with Hannah Holmes of Holmes House Creative. She is a graphic designer, and she’s currently working full-time for someone else, but she’s in the middle of launching her styled stock photography membership. Her and I are talking about building your audience and showing up and being present on Instagram. We also map out kind of like her her launch strategy, and I kind of make her change a lot of things.If you want to hear this entire session with her and really get that behind the scenes of what these strategy sessions are like then definitely tune in.

I could preach all day about the importance of starting an email list. I’m so thankful that I listened to my mentors back in 2012 and started my email list soon after I went full-time in my business. But just saying “start an email list” is one thing.
