Buena suerte, Stephanie!! That took guts, and I'm hoping it'll get you tons of clients.

Ha! Love it.
I had a better-than-previous-weeks week last week. I am aiming to improve upon it this week. It's a goal.
I'll be in DC dog/house sitting for a friend (well, Bethesda) from about the 11th-21st. I have one appointment set and hope to add more.
If anyone local wants to get coffee or something and have some F2F BBT, let me know. Profile e-mail is good.

For those of you who are looking to have something printed, there's a deal today for $100 at Vistaprint for $35 [link]
eta: That will more than pay for their professional business package deal -- [link] Also, since the last time I looked at Vistaprint, they've added a postconsumer recycled paper.

bonny, I sent you email, and I know you're swamped -- but I also know you've had email issues.
Did you get it? I sent it on, Friday, I think?

Erin, I DIDn't! Jeebus. What a mess. Please resend.
Ginger, thanks so much for that link. I'm rebranding the doggy lama and need new materials.
The one thing I need to know is if the voucher will apply to the identity package because it says it can't be combined with other offers...and the package is on sale.
Imma call them and ask because that would be amazing. Especially since, if you spend $60 with the voucher, shipping (which is always what I spend the most on with their regular 'free' offers) is free. Booyah!

In other news, I had two great meetings today.
I went to the SCORE office and met an awesome woman who gave me great advice and was super enthusiastic about my business. I can't even say how good that felt.
She referred me to a woman who does video that I hope I can work with. That would rock.
Then, I had a meeting with my friend who is hiring me. I feel SO much better about the deal.
I helped her to see what I really want to do...which will give her the most value for her dollars. I set the rate at $30 for admin/training development and $60 per hour for on-the ground training/evaluation of her people. Those hours would normally cost $125, but I'm guaranteed 12-15 hours per month that I don't have to market for...so yay!
It turns out, she probably doesn't need a PR campaign anyway, so that's a bit of a relief. I will sit on her calls with the inventor and give her advice, but the shoe leather will be someone else's.
Phew.
PLUS, we agreed that I will be an employee, which will help with taxes. And, we will keep my branding alive. The doggy lama at SG.
Nice.
