So now I can pull this up and it's a little different, but man, this took me a tenth of the time the first time. And some of the controls that you can use for scope are templates, reusing templates. So you can see here that this is how I prep for meetings. And I just talked about scope creep. A template. So, and literally I pulled up, I did this last spring with Boilermaker Consulting and I literally pulled the Boilermaker Consulting from last spring, pulled that up and edited it a little bit. How much time did it take me to prep tonight versus the first time I had to draft this all? Huge, right? And I just shaved off a lot of time just because you're using reusable templates.
