  • Attract Your Right Clients with Your Unique Power with Yvonne McCoy (DW312)

    Are you feeling like you want more clients and you want to attract the right clients? 

    Then you're going to want to listen to this episode where Yvonne McCoy and our host, Diane Rolston, speak about attracting your right clients with your unique power. 

    Yvonne shares her journey as an entrepreneur for over 30 years and how she discovered that being authentic is the key to attracting ideal clients. 

    Listen to learn these key takeaways:

    • Why women often struggle to see their unique value and how this impacts their ability to attract clients
    • The BE FOUND framework that will help you attract your ideal clients authentically
    • Why "your unique power" is not about creating something completely new, but doing something better for the people you want to work with
    • Learn how to identify your unique power through two simple questions that help align your skills with your ideal clients
    • Why consistency in outreach is crucial and how to avoid the "feast or famine" cycle in your business
    • The client's journey and how to position yourself at each stage
    • The importance to nurture relationships and delight potential clients before they become paying customers
    • Why many entrepreneurs struggle with "entrepreneurial prostitution" - doing work they don't enjoy just for the money
    • Why having someone else see your value (like a coach or mastermind group) is essential for business growth
    • Yvonne's powerful mantra about persistence and quick recovery that helped her lose over 150 pounds

    Yvonne’s Bio: 

    Yvonne McCoy helps entrepreneurs struggling with sporadic sales attract and convert the right clients. Instead of chasing transactions, she focuses on building trust, transforming interactions into lasting relationships, and streamlining systems for sustainable success.

    After a pivotal moment in 2020, she realized her business had become a cluttered junk drawer—full of programs but lacking strategic focus. This led to the creation of the BE F.O.U.N.D. Framework, a process designed to bring clarity, alignment, and real results.

    Her message is clear: You don't need to be fixed. You need to be found.

  • Delegation Feels Impossible? Why You Struggle to Hand Things Off with Diane Rolston (DW311)

    Are you struggling to hand off tasks in your business even though you know delegation is essential? Does the thought of someone else doing your work make you anxious? 

    Then you need to listen to this episode about why delegation feels impossible. Our host, Diane Rolston, gets straight to the point about what's really holding you back from scaling your business.

    Listen to learn these key takeaways:

    • The "delegation cocktail" of issues that prevent you from handing off tasks
    • Why you might be the bottleneck in your own business and how this caps your income and creativity
    • The difference between true delegation and "babysitting" (when you pass off work but end up redoing it yourself)
    • How delegation is like teaching someone to make your morning coffee 
    • How refusing to delegate is actually less efficient than taking the time to train someone else
    • Practical ways to start delegating even if you think you can't afford help
    • How proper delegation allows you to focus on your zone of genius while someone else handles the repetitive tasks
    • Diane’s "Virtual Assistant Made Easy" program that matches business owners with vetted virtual assistants
