Hey, there, #CustomerLove-rs!
How is it going?
- Your biz.
- Your challenge.
- Life in general.
For me, it’s been a week of catching up and feeling not-quite there, mixed in with some fantabulous realizations about self & biz thank to Sinclair’s “Action Studio” pre-launch material.
Archetypes are my language anyway, and what I’ve learned is really helping to clarify things immensely!

LaVonneEllis -When you start to doubt yourself, think, “What do I need to hear right now?” And say that to your people. They need it too. #customerlove

- Q7. What do you do with people who can’t afford your stuff?

Widening the Web
Wherein we share the wondrous examples of #CustomerLove we have found along our way.
- Goddess Leonie is a gem, no question about it. Here, she shares her experiences with a concept I think that many of us can relate to: of “running away from the precipice of creation”.
- Sinclair is, as mentioned in the beginning of this post, simply amazing. Here is a post from last year’s launch about permission, another place I’ve been hearing a lot of stumbling.
- And another no-brainer for the #CustomerLoving Awesomeness award is Pamela Wilson of “Big Brand System”. Here, she provides some comfort by pointing out that the big boys & girls make mistakes too! (free-for-addy)
