Millionaire University Balancing Leads, Delivery, and More in the "Messy Middle" of Entrepreneurship | Hope Trory
#763 What happens when your business is working… but suddenly feels harder than ever? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down again with Hope Trory of HopeWorksDesign.com to unpack the messy middle of entrepreneurship — when leads are coming in, clients are paying, and you’re suddenly balancing delivery and marketing at the same time. Hope shares how to use client feedback (and their exact language) to sharpen your messaging, improve onboarding/offers, and increase retention — plus why memberships can be co-created without overbuilding. They also dig into the power of simple, reliable systems (not just “shiny” AI tools) to lighten the load, and how to avoid time-sucking distractions like endlessly switching CRMs. Hope wraps by sharing her freebies, including the Accessibility Checklist (a win for accessibility and SEO) and her ACE Marketing Assessment to pinpoint what to focus on next!
