Hi! I’m Leslie Burris — certified coach, mom of 7, and business mentor with over a decade of sales and marketing experience.  I love Jesus. After years of building online, I’ve learned that true success comes when we partner with God, not when we leave Him out of the process. On ROOTED BUSINESS, I share practical sales strategies, timeless marketing tips, along with some biblical encouragement to help you confidently tell the world about your products and services — all while glorifying Him.  You’ll also hear behind-the-scenes of my own business journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. The good, the hard, and the real. If you’ve ever felt like you had to “eat the meat and spit out the bones” when learning from mentors who don’t share your faith, this podcast will feel like home. It’s time to walk in your value, grow an audience boldly, market with confidence, and stay deeply rooted in Christ.  Welcome to ROOTED BUSINESS.

    EP 40 - How To Avoid Over-Explaining Especially If You're Pivoting

    Unlocking the Power of Long-Form Content for Over Explainers   I talk directly to the over explainers—those who struggle with condensing their messages in short-form content such as reels, stories, or posts. I share my approach to leveraging long-form content like blogs, podcasts, or detailed social media posts to provide comprehensive information. By creating one piece of in-depth content, you can slice it into smaller segments for your audience, making it easier to manage and more engaging. I provide examples from my own experiences, such as discussing beef liver or the trying to conceive journey. Learn how to balance your stories, keep your audience engaged, and avoid over-explaining by using long-form content effectively.   00:00 Introduction: Speaking to the Over Explainers 01:12 The Power of Long Form Content 01:45 Challenges of Over Explaining 02:31 Creating Effective Long Form Content 03:05 Personal Examples and Strategies 04:38 Leveraging Long Form Content for Engagement 08:53 Transitioning and Evolving Your Content 12:29 Conclusion: Embrace Your New Vision   WANT TO BE COACHED BY LESLIE?
