At some point, most web designers dream of moving from lengthy, time-intensive, custom web design projects to a more “productized” or “templatized” web design service. Something that clients can purchase, that has clear boundaries, constraints and limitations.There are a lot of ways to go about productizing your offers - and one way - is to frame it as a program or course. Especially if you're empowering your clients with any sort of marketing or growth help.A shining example of how to do this is Web Designer Pro member Whitney Bateson who, after years of developing custom websites, refined her process into a web design + education solution for her wellness clients in her signature program “The Wellness Pro Website System”In this convo, we get into:What was the “breaking point” for her to move from custom buildsHow her maintenance plan recurring revenue growth rate was factored into this pivotWhat she did to refine her systems and processes to prepare to productizeHow she's balancing ongoing support for clientsWhy she feels it's GOOD to start custom before moving to productizedWhether you're interested in productizing your web design services as a course, service, product, program, etc…Whitney is a shining example of how to do it right so I really hope this convo helps you get more time and sanity back when you're ready to productize your results!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/356 Get my entire suite of courses in the Courses Tier = $49/moGet courses + all community features in the Community Tier = $99/moGet everything + direct coaching with me in the Coaching Tier = $199/moJoin today (in the tier that works for you) at: webdesignerpro.com*** upgrade & downgrade available ***

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
Today, I'm talking to Nashville's #1 men's stylist, Bentley Caldwell, all about what financial advisors should be thinking about when it comes to their wardrobe. Financial advising is a trust-based business, and clients need to feel confident in your ability to manage their finances. That's why what you wear matters.How you dress and present yourself shapes how prospects and clients perceive you. It says a lot about your personality, the quality of your work, your attention to detail, and so much more. Not only that, but first impressions stick. Before you even say a word, potential clients are sizing you up based on your appearance, so it's critical to know what to wear – and what NOT to wear!That's why I wanted to bring Bentley on the show. He's an expert at helping entrepreneurs take their image and confidence to the next level. In fact, he's Michael Hyatt's stylist – and if you know Michael, you know that's saying a lot. Dressing nice may seem obvious, but knowing what to wear, how to wear it, and where to buy it, can quickly become overwhelming.

Imagine yourself saying, “I am angry at my client.” If you immediately need to add a whole bunch of context and caveats to make that statement feel okay, you're not alone.Admitting that we get angry with clients is uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable with colleagues and supervisors, and it's definitely uncomfortable with clients. It's even uncomfortable to admit just to ourselves.But anger is powerful, and it makes itself important, whether we want it to or not. Even the most mild-mannered, even-tempered person can experience anger towards a client at some point. It's okay, and it's a normal part of the therapeutic process.When anger presents itself, we have two options. We can repress and avoid something important, or we can choose to confront it and deal with it. As I so often tell my clients, before we reliably know what to do with a feeling, we have to actually feel it to get to know it.Expanding on last episode's conversation with Dr. K Hixson about conflict with clients, I want to explore some of the reasons why we might get angry with clients–some situational, some due to the very nature of the therapeutic dyad–and where we go from there, even if it gets messy or uncomfortable.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why client relationships might, by their nature, be more frequent sites of anger than average interpersonal relationshipsHow guilt and shame compound our discomfort with anger and get in the way of the curiosity and possibility that come with sitting with itWhy it's worth learning to understand our anger as a source of information about ourselves, our clients, our client relationships, or all threeHow anger is like fire or water–dangerous but capable of being handled with skill and purposeThe social and cultural forces that make us even more reluctant to admit to anger at clientsWhy we owe clients and potential clients a view of our humanity within the workLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythat
The Kiln School – Application for Comprehensive Supervision and Training ProgramAs humans, we tend to like answers a lot more than we like questions. When we believe we have found answers, re-examining what we think of as truth is inherently destabilizing.In a relatively young field like neuroscience, paradigm shifts, misconceptions, corrections, retractions, and foundational remodels are inevitable. We already have more questions than answers, and each answer spawns a thousand more questions. That ever-unfolding feedback loop of curiosity, seeking, and finding is beautiful. However, it also causes problems when the paradigms we've adopted as true turn out to be mistaken.Do we throw out therapeutic interventions that work because the neuroscientific explanation becomes irrelevant or outdated? Or do we twist the evidence to make it fit to keep using these interventions? The former seems wasteful, the latter disingenuous.So what do we do? It's a daunting task, but acknowledging the vastness of what we don't know or understand with certainty is a crucial step. This honesty and humility might just be the key to becoming better therapists.Listen to the full episode to hear:The high stakes of re-examining accepted paradigms for ourselves and our clientsWhy the therapy field's longing for legitimacy makes us so prone to cling to neuroscientific conceptsWhy even rock-solid science probably still won't erase therapy's “weird” reputationWhy it's worth asking ourselves how we would explain what we do if we couldn't rely on our favored neuroscientific explanationHow over-adherence to neuroscientific explanations is fueling the toxic intraprofessional culture of therapistsWhy approaching neuroscientific concepts with humility and a grain of salt and maintaining a healthy skepticism with your clients isn't going to kill your credibilityLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythat
