What to do during launch stuff ups and tech glitches (like the time I called everyone on my email list "Sarah")

Tech glitches are a given, particularly when you are launching! I've had my fair share...but it doesn't need to feel like the 'end of the world'!! In this episode, I share with you some of my tech glitches and how I handled them... Launching on Friday 13th.... Testing, testing....503 error! Everyone's called 'Sarah', right? Webinar "Going live in 3,2,1".... That time 60 people got all 13 cart open emails at once The positive take-away from unintended glitches is the opportunity it presents to re-evaluate your processes to minimise a reoccurrence!
