Such a simple concept to think about the whole experience, but such an overlooked one. Thank you for this great reminder to keep our customers experience as our focus. Plus, it's just plain smart...keeping is more efficient than getting. Laura – Great video! Such a simple concept to think about the whole experience, but such an overlooked one.

It's far easier keeping current clients happy verses getting new ones. I think your branding and content is fantastic!

You have such a great way of boiling a question down to bite sized pieces that give healthy amounts of inspiration and perspective. The suggestion of how to balance your focus on your time in your online business- into before, during and after from the customer's perspective is really practical. So many business owners forget to think of the customer's experience when it comes to their sales process and your tips are simple, but definitely powerful. Thank you for sharing! Laura, I love this video.

Time management can really get away from you if you don't keep it in check. I find that when I set time aside an allotment of time for those must do projects, I quickly realize I can only do so much in a day. And being ok with that was one of my biggest challenges. Even though my to do list is usually pretty lengthy I quickly found that I was getting more done with less distractions when I was in that allotted time. Weather it's 20 minutes replying to email or 90 minutes creating content... by staying within those time boundaries for that one action I was able to get more done. Another factor that helped me to stay productive was cutting off all social media distractions while working on that one task. I know it's real easy to take a quick peak at Facebook while I should be writing content, but I have only myself to hold me accountable. Thank you for the great message.
