    When to host a free bundle vs paid bundle vs a summit

    When to host a free bundle vs paid bundle vs a summit

    Today we're answering a listener's question: She doesn't know if should host a free bundle, a paid bundle or summit.

    She knows she definitely wants to do a summit & free bundle but can't figure out which one to do first.

    Today we're going to chat about 3 things to consider when trying to decide between those 3 things (note a summit might really be the best option for you.)
