Aren't investor updates easier to send out when things are going well?

Do you know of a more beginner friendly book?

I've done 4 Flow Club sessions and have really enjoyed it.

I get the folks saying they'd be distracted and I thought the camera would throw me off (and you can turn it off if you want), but I got used to it right away and have been pretty productive during my sessions.

I'm working solo from home, so having others there has been energizing.

The people in my sessions seem to most commonly use Flow Club to get through work that they don't want to do or something they've been putting off.

I’m a Shogun fan. I was on a tight deadline to design, build, and launch our new site on Shopify. Designing a new site is enough work without introducing new functionality through apps you’ve never used before, especially in the time frame I had. Not the recommended way to do things with so many ways it could go wrong, but this was just the situation.

Shogun was an important factor in me hitting the deadline as it was very easy to learn and build with. There are a lot of page builders out there, and many hit a solid level of functionality, so it can hard to describe why Shogun is better.

For me, the difference is the speed that I can build a good design at. The UI, prebuilt templates, and backend speed all helped me move faster than with other page builders. While I haven’t used their support, a lot of their reviews on Shopify talk about how good it is (one reason I decided to take a look at the app)

Are you planning to come out with a B2B version?
