Here are your Get Launched materials. This collection represents my best work over the last 10 years so you can be assured you will save loads of time creating an amazing personal brand for yourself. Also, I will be swapping out the templates regularly as design is like fashion and needs to be refreshed regularly to stay current.
Please note: The templates are designed in Microsoft Word on a PC or Mac desktop or laptop (mobile devices will give you mixed results). So will need that program to edit them. Some have had success in a program Mac has called Pages but I can only guarantee they will work in the software and on the platform they were created in. I hope that makes sense.
