Review of the week
Thank you!
I have put off writing this review for so long because I’m not sure I can truly capture the value of this podcast. It has truly been life changing. Because of this podcast and getting to know you through each episode, I am now sitting in your Pattern Writing Course and gaining so much value out of it because I “knew” you, what your outlook on business is, and how you approach so many aspect of your business and beyond. I look forward to every Friday when a new podcast episode is released and often go back to listen to previous episodes over again. I gain new information each time I listen. Elizabeth shares tangible take aways, has so much knowledge within the industry and has first hand experience helping quilterpenuers create their business and follow their dreams with a realistic approach. Some guests on the podcast are specific to the quilting industry which is extremely helpful in providing knowledgeable information within our niche of business. However, Elizabeth also has a way of connecting outside the quilty world in order to open our eyes to new ideas, which could grow the industry. She does this all with a warm heart and welcoming spirit. Thank you, Elizabeth, for all of your heart and soul you have poured into this podcast and so much more! You are so raw, real & authentic. It is greatly appreciated!
