Something interesting came up in a conversation recently about participating in virtual summits. Someone mentioned that it can take 9+ hours to participate… even when reusing a presentation and emails. And honestly… I get why. When you don’t have a system, it can feel like a lot of moving pieces: 🩷 recording 🩷 uploading 🩷 tech setup 🩷 promo links 🩷 email assets 🩷 graphics 🩷 tracking dates 🩷 remembering where everything lives It adds up quickly. But after hosting several summits and speaking in quite a few of them, I realized something: Most of the time sink isn’t the presentation… it’s the lack of a system. Now I keep everything organized in one place. I use a simple spreadsheet to track things like: 🧡 summit name 🧡 presentation topic 🧡 submission deadlines 🧡 promo dates 🧡 links 🧡 speaker assets 🧡 what presentation I reused So when I join a summit now, I’m not starting from scratch every time. I already know: ➡️ what presentation I can reuse (if I'm reusing one) ➡️ where my promo assets live ➡️ what needs to be submitted ➡️ when I need to promote It makes collaborations like summits and bundles feel way more streamlined. And honestly… once the systems are in place, they can become a really powerful visibility strategy without taking over your schedule. ⁉️ Curious… How long does it usually take you to participate in a summit?

I just wanted to say thank you for this! I reached out to two different people on this, what an amazing resource

What’s working for me right now is slowing the process down before a shoot. I’ve been responding to clients who need a little more support by allowing extra conversation and space alongside the planning, rather than moving straight into photographs. I’m noticing that people arrive more relaxed, clearer on what they want their images for, and far less pressured to perform. It’s a small shift, but it’s creating better photos and better relationships at the same time. Where are you noticing people need a little more space or reassurance right now?

For the last couple months it has become very clear that quick win offers (for myself it’s PLR templates) have been clear winners for sales compared to offers that require more time and attention (for myself it’s courses). Have you found something similar with your offers & sales?

I was about to create a new freebie. I had the idea. The purpose. The audience. And then I paused. I am building and launching a programme this month. This week, I am opening conversations around it. Creating something new would have felt productive. But it would have divided my attention. So instead of asking what else I could add, I asked what needs my full attention. The answer was simple. The programme. The conversations. The invitations. If you are building something right now, this is your reminder. You do not always need another asset. Sometimes visibility means standing fully behind the work already in your hands. Level 5 Clara tool
