From Corporate to Entrepreneur: Diane’s Journey

Diane’s journey in the world of systems and operations spans her entire career. She started in corporate, managing businesses and creating visions for entrepreneurs who wanted to focus solely on raising money. However, a frustrating experience with limited PTO became the catalyst for her leap into entrepreneurship. Diane’s initial business model was built around her expertise – providing done-for-you operational services for entrepreneurs.

The Transition Challenge: From Service Provider to Coach

But as many of you may have experienced, Diane found herself feeling like a manager again, this time with multiple bosses instead of one. She realized that while she was helping her clients, she wasn’t truly fulfilling her desire to mentor and coach. This realization led her to make a conscious decision to transition into a mentorship and coaching role.

Guaranteeing Results: The Systems Approach

One of the biggest challenges Diane faced – and one that many of you might relate to – was the question of how to guarantee results when shifting from doing the work to teaching others to do it. This is where our deep dive into systems came in handy. For Diane, systems aren’t just about processes or technology – they’re about the combination of processes, people, technology, and automations that work together to help you reach your business goals efficiently.

The Framework Builder Lab: A Transformative Experience

Diane’s experience in the Framework Builder Lab was transformative. She shares how the process of reverse engineering results and creating a clear, teachable framework gave her the confidence she needed to fully step into her new role. The S-curve messaging technique we teach in the lab was particularly impactful, helping her condense complex ideas into a clear, concise message that resonates with her audience.

The Power of Visualization

One of the most interesting breakthroughs Diane had was around visualization. Despite initial skepticism about the need for a visual representation of her framework, she found that it significantly improved her clients’ understanding. This realization opened up new possibilities for how she communicates her expertise.

Scaling the Business: New Horizons

With her new framework in place, Diane feels confident in her ability to scale her business. She’s now able to envision and implement group coaching models, something she previously struggled to conceptualize. This shift has allowed her to fully commit to her new business model, leaving behind any doubts about returning to her previous done-for-you services.

Client Success: Simplifying Launches

Diane shared a wonderful client success story from her launch accelerator program. She helped her clients understand that launching doesn’t have to be complex – it can be simple and tailored to their specific needs and tech comfort level. This success further validated her approach and the effectiveness of her framework.

The Power of a Clear, Teachable Framework

What I love about Diane’s story is how it demonstrates the power of having a clear, teachable framework. It’s not just about knowing your stuff – it’s about packaging that knowledge in a way that’s scalable and results-driven. For those of you struggling with the transition from done-for-you to coaching, or if you’re looking to scale your impact, Diane’s journey offers valuable insights and hope.

Creating Your Own Framework

Remember, creating a framework isn’t about complicating things – it’s about clarifying your process so you can help more people effectively. It’s about finding that sweet spot where your expertise meets your client’s needs in a way that’s teachable and repeatable.
