My house is kinda quirky.
It's very oddly laid out, with the “main” bedroom on the ground floor right off a big open room, and another bedroom sits directly above it, right off the main entrance.
Then there’s the L-shaped kitchen / living room / dining room.
But it's not a regular L.
It’s more of a funky geometric L, because the builders who gut-renovated the place four years before we became the second owners took a rectangular room, added a couple of walls, and created a third bedroom that’s basically an oddly shaped pentagon.
(That “bedroom” is the guest room / office I share with my husband.)
Turns out that carving a living room into a funky geometric L is tricky business. And something about the layout of our furniture has never felt right especially when we have people over.
The yellow wing-backed chair where I drink my coffee and read a book every morning and the couch - the two pieces for sitting - were juuuuuuuuust far enough apart that guests always felt awkwardly far away. And it always just looked...off.
This has been bothering me for almost as long as we’ve lived in our condo, and we've lived here for six years!
So a few weeks ago, when my friend Samantha - an award-winning interior designer with a knack and a love for rearranging furniture - was at my house so I could help her get her inbox in order, I casually mentioned it.
We’d also just moved several houseplants back indoors, including a MASSIVE potted palm tree, so the living room was extra off.
Reader, in the hour or so I spent organizing Samantha’s inbox, she transformed my living room.
What basically amounted to swapping the location of a few key pieces and rotating our coffee table turned it from a room that made me cringe every time I walked by into a room I love hanging out in!
It's been weeks since she was over, and I still find myself with a silly grin on my face every time I pass through the space and can't help but admire her handiwork.
And there's no way me or my husband would've ever been able to do this.
(Believe me, we tried, let's just say it never ended well and everything went right back to where it had started.)
Sometimes it's these little projects that make a huge difference.
And yet, either because we lack the skill or the time, they get pushed off.
And off.
And off.
And if and when you finally do something about it, it's like an annoying weight has been lifted.
That’s exactly the kind of magic I can work in a half-day VIP day.
If there’s something specific you want built in Kit, but you’ve been putting it off for months because you don’t have the time or the interest in figuring it out, this is for you.
During your 1/2 Day VIP Day you bring one or two projects, and I build them in your Kit account while you get on with your actual work. That could look like:
- Setting up your welcome sequence automation (and getting all your lead magnets to feed into it)
- Setting up a workshop or webinar, from landing page to replay emails
- Making sure people who buy your offer get their access emails, and stop getting sales emails for something they already bought
Here’s what Jessica Lackey shared after her VIP day from a few weeks ago:
“
I had a new 10-email sequence I wanted to set up to replace my old email course and my newsletter welcome sequence. Setting it up seemed daunting. I was looking at it side-eyed and didn’t want to spend the time.
I also knew it was going to change all my automations, because the sequence I was replacing was used in so many places. I didn’t want to figure out what needed to happen with all the people in those sequences and automations.
So I hired Bev for a half-day VIP day. I came down the next day, and everything was handled. It was amazing!
Bev asked all the questions, and if things weren’t clear by the end, she followed up. A week later, something I’d been putting off for about two months was done.
1/2 Day VIP Days are $1,200 USD. I currently have space for one next week, and space for 1-2 in December.
If you're interested, reply with with your project and I'll let you know if it's a good fit for a half-day VIP Day.
Take it one step at a time,
Bev
