Fierce Feminine Leadership

Are you really focused on the tasks that make you money? Most founders and entrepreneurs only have a couple of core activities that actually drive revenue. So, if you were asked to name them right now, could you?   In this episode, we're getting real about what Eleanor calls "$10,000 tasks” - the specific, high-value activities that bring in the cash. It's easy to get bogged down with busy work that doesn't move the needle, like focusing on the idea of sales instead of the actions that lead to them.   If you feel like you've tried everything to boost your revenue but nothing's working, Eleanor is challenging you to get down and dirty with the daily, cash-producing tasks that truly matter. You'll learn a simple, daily action you can take that plants the seeds for future revenue, and it only takes a few minutes every day.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO64

When businesses hit a growth ceiling, the instinct is often to throw more marketing dollars at the problem or chase the latest trend. The real question isn't whether you need to change. It’s whether you'll make decisions based on data or desperation.   Co-founder of Learn Grant Writing, best-selling author, and Alaskan adventuress Meredith Noble faced this exact crossroads in December 2020 when her grant writing education business lost $20,000 in a single month. Rather than guess at solutions, Meredith and her co-founder Alex implemented a systematic customer insight process that transformed everything.   Listen in to learn the exact customer insight process Meredith used to re-engineer her business model, how she went from losing $20,000 to generating $45,000 in monthly recurring revenue within seven months, and why customer journey mapping is the "hill she'll die on" as a business strategy.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO59

Revenue plateaus at $15-20K per month often feel like a cruel joke - you're working harder than ever, yet predictable growth remains elusive.

The exhausting cycle of feast or famine leaves you wondering if scaling to $50K months is even possible without burning out completely.   The leap from inconsistent $15K months to predictable $50K months requires more than new strategies or working longer hours.    In this episode, Eleanor shares five critical shifts that'll take you to consistent $50k months.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO58
