What they’re saying
Our happy customers have a lot to say about The Library!
Listened to the audio recording this evening while I was doing walk in the park. Great advice. Badly needed at the moment as I promote my Colour Bootcamp.

FranceEllen emailed, “I’m going to do my first group talk soon, which I’m keen for but also a little nervous about! Any tips, always appreciated.” I offered two suggestions. Ellen replied, “Thanks Kim – I spent yesterday going through and picking out some of the Library items that looked useful for this, and will work my way through them over the coming days. Those were already on the list! I can’t believe how much you’ve shared there, it’s a fantastic resource.
Ellen
UKLet me tell you that the Library is a benediction and came at a perfect time. Thank you so much for those precious advices and the thoughts. This is a great and very helpful material Kim. Thank you so much.
Saliha
ItalyI love this [Library] so much! One of the best investments ever!

USAHi Kim, I really enjoyed your Library article Creating a Business that reflects you. I appreciated your advice on rules, when you gave people 2 chances to reply to your e-mails. I was having the same problem where I was putting in the effort with people and having to chase them 3 or 4 times when they didn’t reply. I have decided to go with the 2 Rule! Thank you for the clarification.

IrelandHave opted in for the Library and it truly is a treasure chest. Well worth the small monthly subscription. I learn something new every visit. Thanks Kim.
