All quotes from Holly Williams unless otherwise noted.
“Copywriting is a science and an art.”
“The best copywriting is really taking other people’s words–your ideal client’s words–and putting them in a format, and laying them out in a pattern that would really resonate with them and bring them to a decision point where they say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.”
“Become really excellent at what you do–just become very excellent… because when you do you develop a reputation.”
“I’ve just been taking small steps of faith and God’s brought incredible opportunities my way… It has opened up my life in a way that I can actually really serve my local body–I have a lot of freedom of time.”
“I’m just going to do the best job I can do, and blow my clients away… and I was never without clients.” – Esther Littlefield

“You have these incredible spreadsheets and they just clarify everything–like within two minutes you showed us your first spreadsheet and I’m like, oh my goodness, like this is gonna save me so much money.”
“There’s been so many just ‘aha’ moments just in those different sessions, and even the first one I was like, ‘worth every penny’.”

“That first coaching session was really very helpful–it helped me really pivot a lot of my business as well.”
“As I’ve felt the Lord give me a different vision now, for my own business, just like Nehemiah was commissioned with rebuilding the walls, I’ve felt like the tools that you’ve given me have empowered me to do that.”
“Literally one month’s payment alone is worth the calendar that you and Christa have come up with for launching.”
“There’s so many things the gurus tell you you need to do, but what is God telling you to do? How is God telling you to communicate? And can you trust the process to him?”
“You build really great relationships. And it’s just all of a sudden, you get not just one mind, like with Esther, you get this collective group.”
“You actually get access to Esther–it’s great because I get to pick Esther’s brain and I’ve been able to work out different product plans and different things.”
