Fierce Feminine Leadership

One of the most powerful shifts you can make as a CEO is to stop asking yourself how, and start asking yourself who. I know so many of you are struggling with time management and are feeling overwhelmed. What if you didn’t have to do everything on your own? Your ability to find, identify and collaborate with the right people will skyrocket your abilities as an entrepreneur. Part of finding those people is cultivating a killer network of like minded people who can help take your business to new heights- which is what my guest today is known for. Keep reading Ungenita Prevost is the founder of Femme Global 500, a master networker, and one of the graduates of the Power + Presence + Position program. She developed an incredible body of work on the concept of the feminine principles of networking. Ungenita believes that networking should be more feminine, lucrative, and refined, and she helps women CEOs build their networks in an authentic and powerful way. In the second part of my Feminist Business Credo series,

Have you ever noticed how most advice about growing a business is externally oriented? We go out to find new markets; we go out to get feedback. While I still stand with those strategies, I also think that looking outwards is only one part of the equation.  There is massive value to be found when you do the internal work to grow your business. My guest today has built her business by doing the opposite of what most business advice says and instead, took a deeply personal and internal approach. I find her journey so incredibly inspiring and fascinating, I just knew I needed to have her on the podcast to discuss it. Keep reading Bethany Webster is a feminist author and transformational coach who also happens to be a graduate of The Incubator. She’s known around the world for her work on women’s leadership and development, and her first book Discovering the Inner Mother, shows women entrepreneurs how their “mother wound” impacts their business and personal lives.  For the first episode in my Feminist Business Cr

Your email list is one of the most lucrative assets you can build. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in; it doesn’t matter what you sell. The fortune is in your email list, also known as your database. Data is a powerful currency in today’s business climate. Many entrepreneurs (wrongly) believe that the key to garnering more data is by getting more names on their list. This might be what you've been trying to do for your business, but it’s not the strategy I recommend, and today I will tell you why. Keep reading Adding more and more names to your email list will not help you scale your business. What truly helps you scale is the strength of your relationships with your email list. My colleagues and I have built an incredibly lucrative list full of women who open my emails every week, who tell me when they like or don’t like what they read, and who want to hear about my juicy offers. And they are juicy.  In this episode, I’m sharing my 3 tips for growing a valuable, lucrative, and highly-qualified email l

So many of my entrepreneurial clients and colleagues are struggling with something that I have certainly struggled with in my career as well. Taking action without burning out. Our culture tells us to do, do, do constantly, but this leaves us feeling tired and depleted.  Last week, I shared how you can leverage the power of the scientific method to create a strong framework for making decisions more effectively as an entrepreneur. Today, in part two of this mini-series on problem solving, I’m showing you my four-step process for taking action without getting depleted. Keep reading It is possible for you to make forward momentum in your business and to hustle intelligently without using up your energy stores. You do not have to lead your team from a place of depletion.  Listen in today to discover my 4-step process for taking action in your business without depleting your energy. Women entrepreneurs have been bro-influenced for far too long, being told that hustle culture is the best way to move your business

Problems arise constantly in business. Whether you’re a 7-figure CEO or you’re just starting your business, you will encounter problems. Often. And if you don’t have a clear methodology for solving problems in your business, your life will be miserable. I have a clear, effective, 3-step process that I use and that teach my clients to use that addresses and resolves pressing business issues. I will be sharing that process today, along with some valuable insights on what having problems in your business really means. Keep reading You will experience friction, grit, burns and scratches as a business owner. But it’s how you identify and respond to this inertia that sets the tone for how you will approach problems in the future. It’s crucial that you expect these experiences and prepare for them. In this week’s episode, I tell you how to solve any business problem you will ever have. This is part one of a two-part series that dives into my effective and crystal clear 3-step process for solving problems, and I prom

I want to share another replay this week on a model I've developed that is unlike any other: the Jewel Business Model. This model attempts to bring a harmonious answer to the question, what do we as women entrepreneurs really want? Most business models leave something to be desired for women. They focus solely on profitability and economic growth, and leave out our desire to make an impact or create freedom in our schedules. Most balance sheets ignore a big part of what success means to us. Keep Reading I love the Jewel Business Model because it’s for ambitious women who want to create businesses that grow through assets, not the founder's hustle. It's about envisioning your entrepreneurial goals without getting perfectionistic about them. Entrepreneurs who use this model, like many of my clients, achieve total life success. In this week's throwback episode, I lay out a very unique, effective, and all-encompassing model for women entrepreneurs to use in their businesses. If you want more cash, autonomy, and i

Today, I'm re-releasing an episode that explores disqualify selling. Disqualification is all about drawing clear boundaries around who your brand, company, and offerings are not for. When you do it right, you can catapult your brand to cult status, grow your revenue to heights you've never seen, and make the process of closing sales much more elegant and refined.  At its core, the power of disqualification is the energy of saying no. This complex business tactic requires you to clearly state to your marketplace not only who you are for but also who you are not serving. It is up to you to define your niche market and to make them your focal point. Keep Reading Using this method isn’t just a matter of implementing it into your business processes. It’s a mindset change. The disqualification method requires you to have an abundance mindset since it, theoretically, restricts your audience. By taking this action, you cultivate immense loyalty from your people. I invite you to really consider who you’re spending you

I recently dove into the core of what we teach in our business accelerator program: PPAM. The Premium Priced Ascension Model is an ecosystem that enables you to skyrocket your CIA and your freedom. Today, we’re expanding on the information we shared in part one to give you an even better idea of how to build a successful service-based business.  When you start creating your PPAM business, there are three phases that each have their own milestones and tasks. Each phase builds off the last, so it’s important to do this work thoroughly and in order. Keep Reading >> As your business grows, so should your cash, influence, and autonomy. With the PPAM model, that is the priority. We guide you every step of the way so that you can grow a business that allows you to make money and make an impact while enjoying plenty of free time.  In today’s podcast, I’m sharing a re-release of the episode that takes the PPAM model a step further by explaining the three phases you go through to build a PPAM business. I’m walking you

At the beginning of 2021, I set the intention to do my dardnest to move through 2021 in a state of relaxed confidence. It’s in this state that I perform best, I enjoy my life the most, and I’m at my healthiest. I’m a much better boss, mother, wife, friend, etc.  As I mentioned last week, I’ve been pretty good at maintaining this intention in 2021 and I attribute that to the seven tips I’m sharing with you today. These tips are what have allowed me to be a CEO capable of running a very chill, very successful, 7 figure business. Keep reading If you, like me, have become disillusioned with the idea of growth at all costs, these tips give you an alternative option. You can have all the cash, influence, and autonomy you crave without the burnout and exhaustion that we so often see in CEOs. Listen in today to find out the details of how I maintained my calm, cool, and confident mindset through the first part of 2021 and how I plan on keeping it up for the rest of the year. These tips are detailed, effective, and re

Something I absolutely love is when people I respect share a behind-the-scenes look into their companies. It can be incredibly inspiring and motivating to see what other female founders are accomplishing, so I hope that sharing my half year in review will do the same for you. The first half of 2021 saw 18 amazing accomplishments produced by myself and my team. I entered the year with the intention of staying in a state of “relaxed confidence” and I’m happy to report that I maintained that. But even if your year didn’t start like that, you still have time to make a shift and finish the year with relaxed confidence too. Keep reading In this episode, I give you all the details about what I’ve accomplished and produced so far in 2021 from a business perspective. You’ll hear about the workshops, webinars, and other free training we provided as well as all the ways we followed through on our commitments to women entrepreneurs. My hope is that this episode inspires you to take action, prioritize your time, and get a

There is one marketing weapon stronger than every other tool, tactic, gimmick, and strategy out there. Not only will using this weapon allow you to niche down even deeper, but it will help you raise your prices and make more money. But the sad thing is, even after you learn what it is, most of you won’t apply it. Now I know my teachings are bolder than other coaches, but that’s because there is massive value and return possible when you take strong, calculated risks. And this weapon is one of them. Keep reading In this episode, find out what the most badass marketing tool on the planet is and how you can start implementing it right now. Learn why once you start using this tool, the potential for your business to scale and grow opens up and your capacity for courage and risk-taking increases. Money is power, as my mom once said, and this weapon will make you a lot more of it. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The real reason money gives us power. Why I teach my clients to build a cash reserve.

Whether you realize it or not, there are two major trends that are about to seriously impact your business. Most of the results in your business are under your ownership, but things that happen in your market and in the world are not. And these two things are not under your control. It’s easy to miss these things because there is so much information directed at us. From free training to tools, the Olympics and different Netflix specials, it’s normal if you didn’t notice these impending trends. Keep reading In today’s episode, I’m sharing what the two macroeconomic forces are that are about to hit your market and massively affect your business so that you can prepare for them. The second half of 2021 is going to be unlike any other year, and if you’re not prepared with what I share today, your business will struggle. So listen in and get ready to step it up. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Where buyers’ massive cashing savings have come from. My beef with governments injecting economic stimu

If you’re like me, you’ve enjoyed watching the NBA playoffs this summer and admiring the incredible athletic feats of the players. One thing I’ve noticed is that their amazing feats would not be possible without the game's constraints: two nets, 10 players, 48 minutes of gameplay. It is inside those constraints that the magic happens, and it’s the same for your business. Without constraint, chaos ensues. Applying constraints is a fundamental step in allowing other things you care about to flourish, like your cash, influence, and autonomy. Keep reading So, if you want to scale your business and make more money with less overwhelm, then I invite you to consider applying more constraint. Constraint means making decisions, cutting off some options, in order to allow others to thrive. It’s about eliminating costly distractions. In this episode, I’m diving deep into the different types of constraints you can apply to your life and business to allow for more fun, ease, and CIA. You’ll learn three ways to bring great

Before I had this coaching business, I had a very successful consulting business for over 10 years. It was great, but I eventually reached a point where I needed to shift mindsets, to stop doing the work, and start building an ecosystem.  So many women CEOs are at the same spot I was before I made the change. You know that if you get sick or don’t show up, your business doesn’t make money. You have no CIA (cash, influence, and autonomy) and you’re spending 25 hours a week just delivering on what you sold. Keep Reading >> Today, I’m re-introducing you to the business structure we recommend in our business accelerator, PPAM. If you want to have more open time, more CIA, and you want to make a bigger impact, then PPAM is the way to go. Using this model will help you achieve 7 figure status with more time for everything. In today’s episode, I'm sharing part one of a two-part series about the PPAM model - what it is, how it works, and why it’s so dang effective. This is the heart of what we teach in the business a

Do you know how much time you are spending on sales and marketing in your business? Are you aware of your net worth and key growth activities? If not, you could be preventing yourself and your business from growing and developing the resilience necessary to be as successful as possible. Measuring the effectiveness of what you are doing in your business is a crucial element of being an entrepreneur. What will work for you is fairly nuanced but gaining clarity about what metrics move the needle can really benefit your business and generate growth in different areas of your life. Keep reading Any time we’re talking about metrics, it is worth taking the time to think through what metrics matter to you. What can you gently pay attention to that’s going to really help you see if you’re moving in the right direction? In this episode, I’m sharing three superbly useful calculations that I watch closely and use to help me maximize my effectiveness as a leader and entrepreneur. Wherever your attention flows, that thing

Contrary to popular belief, growing a business is not the be-all-end-all it’s cracked up to be. Now, scaling a business, that’s a whole other story. Growth and scale are not the same thing, and using them interchangeably only creates stress and confusion.  On a basic level, scaling sets you free and growth creates more problems. I don’t know what your mission here on earth is, but I know you have one. And I know it isn’t to make more revenue so you can have more headaches. But that’s what focusing on growth will get you. Keep Reading >> When I work with women entrepreneurs, the one thing we all have in common is a greater mission. Money is great, but we’re here for more. You’re here to scale so that you can make a greater impact, change lives, change your industry, and direct your abundance into causes you care about. Today on the podcast, I’m diving into why we’ve got to stop using “scale” and “growth” interchangeably and how to decide which one you’ve been working towards. I’m sharing the 3 principles of sc

We received an unprecedented number of emails and messages about episode 421, my conversation with Barbara Huson, about getting wired for wealth. So many of you were thanking us for that conversation and sharing your thoughts on aiming for wealth instead of riches.  One of the things that really stood out to me in that interview was Barbara’s dedication to her focus, to her zone of genius. She has spent three decades working with women on rewiring their mindsets for wealth. We talk a lot about niching down and nailing your message here, and to say she is an expert would be an understatement. Keep Reading >> I know so many of you were inspired by Barbara to achieve wealth in your own businesses. If that’s you, it’s time to stop dickering around doing all the things, serving all the people, and start focusing on just one thing. It’s time to have zone of genius discipline.  In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what it means to have zone of genius discipline and showing how Barbara’s body of work is a perfect exampl

Many of you sell knowledge and transformative work to your clients and customers. Some of you are coaches, authors and podcasters, and others are expertise providers. In our programming, we teach you to package your expertise as intellectual property, but I want to invite you to take it even deeper.  I share what I share in these podcasts and in our programs to help you think more deeply about your business and the core philosophies that underpin your offerings. Sometimes we rush to package and market something so we can get it out into the world, but this causes very important elements to get overlooked. Keep reading I encourage you in this episode to really flesh out what your business philosophy is and how it impacts your business decisions. When you can get crystal clear on your philosophy, every decision you make comes from a place of alignment and authenticity.  Listen in today to find out how to craft your philosophy if you don’t already have one, why making it super clear is so important, and how our

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Revenue is vanity and profit is sanity”? The idea is that it’s not how much money you make, it’s actually how much of it you keep. There are plenty of 7-figure earners out there, but not all of them are wealthy. Some are actually broke. I would love for you to both make and keep a ton of money because doing so brings so much peace of mind and freedom. To help you understand how to build a business that results in you being wealthy and not broke, I’ve invited the Queen of Money herself onto the show today. Keep reading Jackie Porter is an entrepreneur, author, media commentator and financial expert who helps women entrepreneurs like us make money, keep money, and avoid becoming broke millionaires. Women entrepreneurs don’t have the same opportunities as male entrepreneurs to build wealth, and Jackie is passionate about changing that.  In today’s episode, Jackie and I discuss the differences between closing sales in your business and having something to show for it. We talk abou

Your business doesn’t exist in a vacuum. You’re part of a global supply chain with the team members you employ, the contractors you hire, and the customers from other countries who buy from you. Then there’s the money you take out of your business and spend in your local economy.  As a business owner, you are part of a big global money tapestry called the economy. And learning about that tapestry can help you make better business decisions. Unfortunately, most mainstream economic discussions cater to men and male business owners, leaving women entrepreneurs out. Keep reading I have two brilliant guests on the podcast today who share my passion for helping women feel confident joining the conversation around global economics and money. Katrine Marcal is an economist and author, and Linda Davies is a former investment banker turned author. Both have incredibly useful insights on how the world economy has shifted over the last 18 months and how it will continue to shape our businesses over the next two years. Li
