Hey Lou,

I had to email you and say a huge thank you!!

To be honest when I saw your ecourse a while back, I thought it was clever and the idea of making my business more simple did appeal but I didn’t think I needed it.

I’ve had my web design business for over 5 years now and for the most part, it seemed pretty straight forward and manageable.

And then a couple of months ago, my son got sick out of the blue. All of a sudden I had to take him into hospital… I won’t go into details but it was awful and gosh we were so worried about him. It was a really tough few weeks. We were running on next to no sleep, checking on him throughout the night. We were all exhausted from feeling consumed by worry 24/7.

And as things do when life throws you a curve ball, it put a lot of things into perspective for me.

I suddenly realised how unavailable I was truly for my family. I was always chasing project deadlines, and when I wasn’t on my computer I was thinking about work. About money. About getting more clients. It’s funny how you don’t realise how much work can consume your life, until something horrible happens out of the blue to remind you of what is actually important.

Our son is well again now, thank god. I’ve never been so happy to see his smiles, to watch him run around the yard with his friends. I’ve even caught myself laughing when he’s done something naughty that I definitely would have been cranky at a few months back. I’m just so grateful that he’s still here with us. Ok I’m going to stop there or I’ll ball my eyes out again.

But what I really wanted to tell you is that one of your emails landed in my inbox once my son was on the mend. I always love your little reminders that life and work can be simple so I did always read them, but like I said… I never thought I needed your ecourse. Boy was I wrong.

So this time when your email landed, I bought your course. Just going through the first lesson was so eye opening!! I had to laugh at myself – I can’t believe I used to think my business was manageable and pretty straight-forward.

My business was a mess. And it had absolutely been highlighted for me when my son was sick. My work needed my complete attention to bring in money, clients, to get through all the random admin I’d been doing without even realising.

Sorry for the long email… I just wanted to tell you from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Thank you for creating this course. I thought maybe it would only be helpful to people who want to travel more and have a simpler business for that reason but now I see what you offer. Also, to be honest since the ecourse was less than $300… I think I questioned if it was truly valuable… sorry but I want to be honest (maybe put that price up!! It’s worth so much more!).

It’s complete business clarity! It’s sanity. It’s more joy in my work! And it’s the peace of mind that no matter what happens now in life, my business can adapt as I need it to and money will keep flowing in.

I’ve implemented what I learned in your course (loved how concise and practical the videos and workbooks were too by the way!). I have never felt so clear on how to run my business, how to spend my work time, and where the most peace, happiness AND income comes in for me.

Ok I’ll stop the novel there. Thank you so much again!!

My only regret is that I didn’t do your course sooner.

That awful month when my son was sick, my business took a massive hit because I didn’t have the brain space or time. But now I know my business is so much more resilient to unexpected life (and I’m working less hours now on projects I actually really LOVE, with people I love working with, and getting paid as much as I used to!)

Thank you Lou.
