Ask Questions in Advance
I know that not everyone can be on the Success Call live. We also know that, even if you join the call live, you may not have the ability to ask your question while you're listening in. That's why we make it possible for you to ask your questions in advance.
If you have a question for Stephanie, you can ask it at this link. We'll do our best to get to it live on the call and you can listen to the answer (and all of the other answers) on the MP3 recording we make available to all members after the call.
