13:01:18	 From  Denis johnston : It's a sunny 55 here. For LA, that's cold!
13:01:32	 From  rc : Yes, it's  Rob. Hello! 
13:01:48	 From  rc : Not snowing here in Costa Rica
13:01:49	 From  Michael : Yes, I'm in LA too....freezing!!!
13:02:02	 From  Denis johnston : egg nog!
13:02:18	 From  Barb : Twinkly lights!
13:03:15	 From  Michael : Was gonna say family gathering...but forget that for now :-)
13:04:13	 From  Barb : W: Got a great, speedy response to my first Golden Nugget/Connector email.
13:05:04	 From  rc : Small win: just getting back in action after a move during which I lost internet connection. Having my workspace set up and now playing catch up. 
13:08:20	 From  rc : Hmmm, wasn't me!
13:08:42	 From  Barb : Q: Any advice for someone working full time, but trying to ramp up the freelance business, on how to allocate effort? I'm planning ahead for actually getting business and how to handle calls, etc.
13:12:11	 From  Michael : Q: Following up on our convo from last session, had prospect ask me for package price for 6-8 content pieces over Q1 2021. Took your advice & proposed smaller package to start of 3 pieces, since we're just getting started working together & there will be strategy included in my services. Sent that proposal 12/4, followed up the next week and yesterday, still no word back. This is after 2 discovery calls - one 40 minute convo with VP of marketing, then an hour-long Zoom with him & 2 co-founders. Any suggestions or insights on this non-responsive prospect?
13:13:38	 From  Denis johnston : Q: as a follow up to Barb's question, how would you allocate time if you're trying to find a 'pay money because I like to eat' job while building a freelance business?
13:43:15	 From  Denis johnston : Thanks
13:44:25	 From  Barb : V: Hearing your personal experience building your business. Any more advice?
13:44:31	 From  Michael : V: Your advice on follow-up with my prospect. Thanks!
13:44:39	 From  Denis johnston : V your responses to all the questions
13:47:18	 From  Barb : Q: How did you keep yourself motivated when people didn't respond to your emails?
13:48:42	 From  Michael : A: Following your advice on follow-up with prospect. Got another prospect that was supposed to send me paid tryout piece (750-1000 word blog) this week, need to follow up with them too
13:49:50	 From  Denis johnston : A: making sure the actions I'm taking are the ones I need to be taking. Not get bogged down being busy on stuff that won't really move me forward.
13:49:56	 From  Barb : A: Send more, lots more, emails.
13:55:10	 From  Denis johnston : my favorite is making lists of things I need to do so I don't have to actually do anything
13:56:21	 From  Barb : It was great, thanks!
13:56:27	 From  Michael : Thanks so much, great talk!
13:56:37	 From  rc : Thanks, happy holidays to you Susan! Talk soon.
