You bet! @jill-wolcott and @amy-crook — looking forward to it (and to see Holly, of course). xo

Congratulations, Elaine! So many great outcomes from your actions! Very inspiring!

Thank you, Jill- those are excellent suggestions! 🙂

Today I reached a mini goal (create connections within the community/industry) and a mile marker (advertize) by sponsoring an episode of my very favorite podcast. It took me months to find the courage to reach out to even inquire about sponsorship — on top of it being a pretty large stretch for my budget. But since the episode dropped, I've…[Read more]

I started with mailchimp and didn't really do much with it – only used the free. I switched to ConvertKit at the end of the year and I'm really happy with it. Immediately when I set it up I was able to set-up an autoresponder which delivered the free pattern set that folks get when they join the list. The forms look great on my site. I can have…[Read more]

Congratulations, @isabel-mckay, on finishing Chart Your Stars! Sometimes we just need some time away from the tools for the answers to come to us. I'm glad you're back and can't wait to see your business unfold!

@jane-dolan @jill-wolcott I should be joining you, schedules etc willing. I'm seeing Holly today, too, since she's on my side of the bay – we're going to the cat cafe in Oakland. Meow!

Yes @jane-dolan I'm looking forward to it. Am I going to see you on the 29th with Holly? What about you @amy-crook?

Thanks, @tanja-osswald. You wrote “A and B have a touch of neglect for the unloved yarns.” Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. I don’t want to give off that feeling, but I know I can’t sustain treating all bases exactly the same. So perhaps C allows for a bit of a middle ground (a balance, if you will).

@karen-whooley – First off, I love the ne…[Read more]

I agree with @alex-collins: Committing for a whole year is quite a lot to ask. What about for two consecutive months? If you get enough participants, you can have two designers each month, maybe alternating (A gets March only, B March and April, C April and May and so on — that way, people can get hooked on one designer, learn about the next and…[Read more]

Congratulations, @isabel-mckay! I'm looking forward to seeing your business launched!

Hey Karen, do you really need to cut ties with the other bases? I would try doing a show focusing on your best sellers in larger quantities. If someone specifically asks about a base, take their details and contact them after the show about doing a custom order but just as an experiment give option A a go. If you think you lost out sales because…[Read more]

You could reach out to people who are regularly posting tutourials already to see if they would like to do a post using your product in exchange for the supplies. I think that seems like a fairer trade than asking 1 person to do 12 projects only for promotion and supplies unless you will drive tons of traffic to their site.

If you found 12…[Read more]

@lesley-austin there is a podcast about this on Launch, Grow, Joy… http://launchgrowjoy.libsyn.com/053-michele-gallagher

I think you are right that you can't contact old customers but it discusses where you can put links and how to grow your list going forward. I hope it helps!

I have actually completed Chart Your Stars. 6 months ago when i firstly did it, i couldn't answer all the questions and i glazed over for a lot of it (i see that now looking back over it). So Yey!!!!! i've actually done it. Towards the end i got that sort of glazed over tiredness, but i kept on going. My North Stars are- Self honesty and…[Read more]

Love this @mary-roth — Congratulations!
