I just love you and am so grateful for you. I can absolutely see how this approach is going to improve things even more in terms of clarity, consistency and predictability (for both of us), but nothing could improve on the intelligence, care and wisdom you already bring to all the work we do together.

Hiring Jess took my business to a whole new level. Her support allows me to focus on more of the big-picture dreaming and scheming (growing my business in leaps and bounds). Oh, and another thing? She’s cool. The only thing I have to complain about is our virtual relationship means that I can’t have a glass of wine with her at the end of the day.
