Let\\u2019s talk about beta testing an offer \\u2014\\xa0what that means, pros and cons, and why I didn\\u2019t want to do it, but did\\u2026\\xa0 and how it was the best decision I could have made for my business.\\xa0

If you missed it, I launched my new course for designers, Booked Out Designer, at the end of February. It sold out within an hour and a half. And filled half way within 10 minutes! Like WHAT?! This was a beta launch\\u2026 and one that was absolutely not on my agenda. I wanted to make the course, then sell it \\u2014\\xa0in that exact order.\\xa0
