13:00:44	 From  Thomas Wolfe : loud and clear
13:01:20	 From  Melanie Cook : I can hear you
13:01:56	 From  Thomas Wolfe : I enjoyed playing outside with friends, exploring the woods and the parks in my hometown, finding mountain mountain biking trails
13:02:06	 From  hollyowens : Holly - Me, too!  Swimming on the swim team, hanging out at the pool, and going home tired and happy; the feeling of summer in Atlanta, GA
13:02:12	 From  Jim Rogers : Just loaded up here
13:05:50	 From  Janet Davis : W - I’m through section 1 working on section 2.
13:05:55	 From  Thomas Wolfe : W - I've gained huge boost of confidence seeing my website and website copy come together.  I found the Why Me and Bio pages the hardest to complete, but when I did, I felt really good about what I put together.
13:06:31	 From  Jim Rogers : W   My win is just happy to get started on this. Super serious about getting B2B freelance going. Picked up a second job to make this possible. Also, finished up session 1 and probably start up on 2 tomorrow. 
13:07:17	 From  hollyowens : W - feeling encouraged that I do have some things to offer despite being out of the workforce; have made some good lists that make me feel like I’m moving forward
13:08:33	 From  Howard Laidlaw : My typing's impaired due to an injury. Mostly listening today.
13:08:35	 From  lena : I Session one
13:08:52	 From  hollyowens : I - Have completed Intro section and am mulling over the Positioning exercises.
13:09:25	 From  Jim Rogers : I - Right now, just trying to make sure my positioning statement makes sense with my career background/skills.
13:10:49	 From  Thomas Wolfe : positioning wsa super difficult in my opinion, but tkae Ed's advice and don't sty n it too long.  I wasn't happy with my first draft, but I moved to the website copy session and it really helped to pull my positioning together
13:16:32	 From  Howard Laidlaw : Q - Last part of section 4. I'm really struggling with the starter list of 10 solid prospects. I'm getting almost nothing from the magazine search; I have been following the instructions. I'm seeing a lot of good content but nothing pointing to a potential prospect.
13:21:14	 From  Thomas Wolfe : Q - H
13:22:42	 From  hollyowens : Q- What is Dragon? :)
13:22:44	 From  Thomas Wolfe : W - I have an IT background, and my copy is IT-centric, and I konw IT is $, but I'm interested in broadening my field,  (and I asked this question in Facebook) should I consider cutting back my IT speak in my website copy to speak to a more general audience
13:23:17	 From  Thomas Wolfe : Howard - you are in good company; I feel like a generalist and loner too, lol
13:26:00	 From  Jim Rogers : Q - Is "software and technology companies" narrow enough to get started? I was thinking of adding "educational software" on there, too, somewhere, since I have some research background in that. But, I question the profitability of ed soft and I don't want prospects to think I'm only on education.
13:28:57	 From  Thomas Wolfe : thank you!
13:29:15	 From  hollyowens : Q - This is silly, but I’m new to LinkedIn and I heard somewhere that if you look around then people will think you are “stalking” them but I think that is an exaggeration and people know that networking involves looking around.  I’m just wondering if they will wonder why I’m “spying” on them but maybe I’m the only one thinking about it like this since networking involves looking around and connecting.  SO, it’s okay to search around and explore profiles, correct?  And they’ll know and it’s okay, right?
13:31:39	 From  Janet Davis : Q to Jim’s question answer. Do I need software and technology or can it be called software technology. Or does it matter?
13:39:38	 From  Janet Davis : thank you
13:40:45	 From  Jim Rogers : I was thinking of "technology" in terms of any kind of computer hardware (mainly) or computerized devices.
13:41:39	 From  hollyowens : Q - As I’m looking at positioning myself, I have a few areas I’m looking at and am interested in.  Then today I just thought of another - vacation rentals, travel, cruises, etc.  We just stayed at an Air BnB condo and the description was incredibly engaging and well-written and helped me decide to stay there.  Is this a viable industry to write for and how do you recommend I go about pursuing writing for this industry?  It also seems broad so I would need to narrow it down.
13:49:38	 From  hollyowens : Yes, very helpful!
13:50:55	 From  Janet Davis : Q- I have an existing freelance website. How much of samples, blogs, and writing do I leave on the site from old niches.
13:51:31	 From  lena : Q - Sales and prospecting is very difficult for me. I am great in helping people and adding value to their problem that need resolving. 
13:53:11	 From  Janet Davis : thank you
13:54:26	 From  lena : Q - How can I generate clients when sales and prospecting very difficult
13:55:12	 From  lena : Q hard to ask for help 
13:55:56	 From  Melanie Cook : Yes, I'
13:56:40	 From  Melanie Cook : I've worked in manufacturing and IT tech but have quite a bit of prospecting experience as well so I hope to blend the two.
13:56:43	 From  lena : Q: I am an extrovert but still don't feel comfortable asking people about business opportunity.
13:59:53	 From  lena : Q: good analogy.  thanks for the input.
14:01:57	 From  Janet Davis : V - just being connected is very helpful. Thank you!
14:01:59	 From  stevesimon   to   Ed Gandia(Privately) : Glad I could break from job to join the call. Been consumed with family crisis last few weeks.
14:02:24	 From  Melanie Cook : V - hearing that everyone has the same concerns is a good thing to know in this process.
14:02:34	 From  hollyowens : V -LinkedIn advice;  comments about mindset when selling and looking for people who have a need for what I offer
14:02:35	 From  stevesimon : V:  using meeting as a touchstone is valuable. I’ve been away from this process with family distractions.
14:02:47	 From  Thomas Wolfe : V - Ed's avdice to not spend too much time on anything as well as his advice that making progress on the sessions will build confidence. 
14:02:58	 From  Howard Laidlaw : V - Your comments about targeting small business. I have experience here as well. This gives me another avenue to pursue.
14:05:10	 From  stevesimon : And those small companies don’t have an agency
14:08:48	 From  Thomas Wolfe : A - Session 4 and await content review
14:08:54	 From  Melanie Cook : Complete session 2 and start 3
14:08:58	 From  Jim Rogers : A - Move on to section 2 and turn in my copy by next Saturday
14:08:58	 From  Thomas Wolfe : and my Linked In profile
14:09:12	 From  stevesimon : A- back on track. Web copy is one writing session away from review and posting.
14:09:24	 From  Janet Davis : Update website and through session 3
14:09:31	 From  Howard Laidlaw : Finish the list so I can move on to section 5.
14:09:56	 From  Thomas Wolfe : great advice, will do!
14:10:26	 From  hollyowens : A - Define my positioning; to possibly talk to a good friend who is a small business owner and who might need her website refreshed
14:11:12	 From  Jim Rogers : Q - Are websites like fiverr and upwork worth pursuing for 1-2 clients or not so much? 
14:11:36	 From  hollyowens : Will do:)
14:16:34	 From  Thomas Wolfe : Tthank you, have a great weekend all!
