    Ep. 35 | Stop Delegating Tasks: Lee Taylor's Formula for Ownership-Based Leadership

    👉 Grab my Free Guide: How to Write Compelling StoryBrand Copy in 5 Minutes Flat:  https://www.reddoordesigns.com/free-resources Are you exhausted from being the problem solver for everything in your business? I had the most eye-opening conversation with Lee Taylor about why delegating tasks keeps you trapped in the endless cycle of putting out fires, while delegating ownership for outcomes transforms your team into independent problem-solvers. Lee helps leaders create role clarity with teams of 5-20 people, and what he shared completely shifted how I think about leadership. We explored the fascinating overlap between internal team communication and external messaging—and why both require the same level of clarity to work effectively. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why "hiring out of desperation and firing out of perfection" destroys team morale and how to break this costly cycle ✅ The one-sentence ownership formula that transforms task-doers into outcome-owners (this is pure gold for any leader) ✅ How the StoryBrand framework applies internally to create crystal-clear role expectations that eliminate confusion Lee's approach isn't about creating complex HR systems - it's about simplifying ownership so your team can thrive without you micromanaging every detail. When your people know exactly what success looks like in their role, they stop waiting for you to solve every problem and start bringing you solutions instead. If you're tired of being the bottleneck in your own business and ready to build a team that runs without you constantly putting out fires, this episode will give you the clarity framework to make it happen.

    Ep. 34 | What Makes a High-Converting Website? 5 Costly Mistakes Driving Clients Away

    👉 Grab my Free Guide: How to Write Compelling StoryBrand Copy in 5 Minutes Flat:  https://www.reddoordesigns.com/free-resources Pretty websites don’t pay the bills. Clear websites do. Let me show the difference. I see this heartbreaking pattern all the time: brilliant coaches and consultants who cringe when they send prospects to their websites. These are amazing professionals getting incredible results for their clients, but their website makes them look like they just started yesterday. Meanwhile, others with the same skills are booking calls left and right. The difference isn't fancy design or expensive photo shoots. It's whether your website makes it crystal clear why someone should pick you over the 50 other coaches they just looked at. If it doesn't, you're literally sending people away to find someone who can explain their value better. I recently worked with a brilliant executive coach who had 15 years of corporate experience and an MBA from Wharton. She was getting amazing results but only one inquiry per month because her website was completely generic. After spending just two hours rewriting her homepage to make it clear exactly who she helps and how she's different, she was fully booked with a waiting list within six weeks. What You'll Learn: ✅ The 5 website mistakes that make you look like every other coach (and how to fix them) ✅ Why "helping leaders reach their potential" is sabotaging your success ✅ The simple headline test that reveals if your website is working against you Your website's job isn't to impress people with how smart you are—it's to make it completely obvious that you're the right person to solve their problem. When someone lands on your site, they should immediately think, "This person gets me." Ready to transform your website from a source of embarrassment into your most powerful sales tool?

Donald Miller was staring down an 85% loss in revenue when COVID hit.Instead of panicking, he repositioned his business. He grew by 30%. In this episode of From Click to Client, Donald and I unpack the exact strategy he used (and still uses) to grow during uncertain times. And the heart of it? Position yourself as the life raft, not a luxury We also explore one of the most powerful positioning tools I’ve ever heard Donald teach: Give a unique name to the problem you solve to eliminate all competition. It’s how Dr. Becky built her coaching empire by focusing on “DFK” (Deeply Feeling Kids). And it’s a strategy any coach can apply to attract more clients and charge premium rates, no matter what the economy is doing. What you’ll learn: ✅ The life raft message that gets clients to say yes, even in uncertain times ✅ Why positioning yourself as the hero can drive clients away ✅ How your personal backstory (even the boring parts) can attract high-value clients ✅ The psychology of naming the problem and creating instant trust If your business feels quiet or if you're tired of blending in with every other coach online, this episode will shift how you talk about what you do.

After 23 years in marketing, I've discovered that the most successful entrepreneurs don't just have beautiful websites - they have websites that tell compelling stories where their clients are the hero. In this episode, I'm sharing my conversation with Rich Brooks on the Agents of Change podcast, where we break down the exact framework I use to help my clients transform their websites into 24/7 sales machines. Your signature story isn't about you - it's about making your potential clients feel understood, valued, and confident that you're the guide who can solve their problem. The truth is, most business owners struggle with their messaging because they're making themselves the hero of their own story. But when you shift into the guide role and follow the proven story structure that every movie and book uses, everything changes. One of my clients went from closing 20% of her sales calls to 95% simply by getting clear on her signature story and her role as the guide. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ✅ Why being the hero of your own story actually kicks potential clients out of your narrative (and how to become the strongest character instead) ✅ The "accordion method" for stretching and shrinking your signature story to work across every marketing channel without feeling redundant ✅ The exact six story components that transform confused website visitors into eager clients who can't wait to work with you Ready to stop living and dying by referrals?

    Ep. 31 | From Corporate Leader to Confident Coach: Breaking Free with Candy Motzek

    👉 Grab my Free Guide: How to Write Compelling StoryBrand Copy in 5 Minutes Flat:  https://www.reddoordesigns.com/free-resources What if the "security" you're clinging to is actually the riskiest path you could take? I sat down with business and mindset coach Candy Motzek to explore why talented professionals stay trapped in corporate roles—and how to make the leap into coaching without going broke. Here's the reality check: Your corporate job isn't as secure as you think. Downsizing happens to star players too—and having a side coaching business creates real financial security, not just passion fulfillment. Candy helped one corporate leader transition from managing KPIs to coaching at a major university. But here's where most coaches get stuck: You can be amazing at coaching and still be broke. The skills that make you brilliant at transformation don't automatically equal business success. Many fabulous coaches have hardly any clients—and we're fixing that problem today. ✅ Why your corporate job might be riskier than starting your own business (and how a side coaching practice creates real security) ✅ The real reason people aren't buying your coaching (hint: it's probably not your qualifications) ✅ How "buffering" keeps you stuck in busy work instead of income-generating activities (and what to do instead) The bottom line: When you're doing work that energizes instead of drains you, everything changes. You stop buffering with extra shopping trips and spa visits because you're not constantly rewarding yourself for surviving tough days. The freedom and fulfillment on the other side of that leap is worth every moment of uncertainty. Ready to stop playing it safe and start building the coaching business you've been dreaming about? This episode gives you the roadmap to make it happen without the overwhelm. More About Candy Business coach and trusted mentor for aspiring coaches.

    Ep. 30 | Clear Messaging for Business Growth: Why Confused Websites Kill Conversions

    👉 Grab my Free Guide: How to Write Compelling StoryBrand Copy in 5 Minutes Flat:  https://www.reddoordesigns.com/free-resources If your website confuses people, you’re losing money—here’s how to fix it. If potential clients can't understand how you help them within five seconds of landing on your homepage, you're losing dream clients every single day—and you might not even realize it's happening. I've seen this pattern countless times with brilliant coaches and consultants who have all the right credentials but struggle to book discovery calls. The problem isn't their expertise—it's their messaging. When your website copy is unclear, confusing, or speaks in transformation language that sounds deep but lands flat, you're attracting bargain hunters instead of dream clients who value your expertise. In this episode, I'm breaking down the four biggest messaging mistakes that keep coaches and service providers stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, plus my proven framework for turning your website into a client-attraction machine. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ✅ The real reason your certifications and testimonials aren't converting visitors into discovery calls (hint: your ideal clients aren't looking for credentials—they're looking for someone who gets them) ✅ Why transformation language like "step into your purpose" actually repels dream clients, and the simple shift that makes people think "I have to talk to this person" ✅ My four-step framework for rewriting your homepage so dream clients stop scrolling and start reaching out—without a complete rebrand or expensive website overhaul This isn't about being the best expert in your field. People don't hire the best expert—they hire the one they feel most connected to, and story is the key to creating that connection. Ready to turn your website into your hardest-working salesperson?
