I mentioned earlier this year that there would be some changes with my business based on the feedback that I'd received from you.

You said you wanted content more chunked, and in video format. You said you found it difficult to structure your time to attend live workshops, and that it was easier for you to budget for a smaller amount of money monthly rather than a big chunk of money less frequently. As you probably know: this is not how my business has been structured. What does this mean for Design to Theme customers?

Thanks so much for your support of my business. Emma. The Digitalrecline.
