Teresa Vozza is a certified Executive Coach and Leadership Expert, as well as a passionate advocate for eradicating burnout in the executive ranks. Her goal is to help people (especially women) achieve greatness without the grind.According to statistics, 60% of women are burnt out. And, they are burning out at a much faster pace than men.In this conversation, we talk about:- Social conditioning and how that plays into how women show up at work- Recognizing patterns that are harming us- Warning signs to catch early on/before it's too late- Replacing behaviors (or what to do instead)- How to understand and protect yourself“I confused my high sense of urgency, hustle, and responsiveness as almost my superpowers. I thought that those things were going to get me ahead and I had proof they did – because I continued to receive promotions. That was the way I was going to lead and continue to enjoy success… But, it led to me experiencing major anxiety and ending up on a stretcher, headed to the ER, with a diagnosis of severe burnout. At the time, I had no idea what I was going through. I didn't know what to look for. I just knew how to push and to work.”Whether you identify as a woman or work with women, this conversation is an important one. I hope you'll join us!-----Teresa Vozza is a leadership expert, certified executive coach, and former Human Resources Executive with over 20 years of corporate experience, most recently at Allianz Partners as CHRO.

Eleanor Beaton is the founder of SafiMedia, an education & coaching company for women entrepreneurs. Through SafiMedia and her podcast Power Presence Position, Eleanor and her team are committed to advancing global gender equity and a model of economic growth that nourishes the planet, one woman-owned business at a time. Eleanor grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, although she was born in England. Her father was an economics professor at a university in Nova Scotia, and previously, her Mom was a teacher in her native Fiji, where Eleanor's parents originally met. In fact, in those earlier years, Eleanor's mother earned more than her father, owned her own home, and was living very comfortably, fully supporting herself when they began dating. Once they moved to England and had Eleanor, they decided that her mother would stay home and raise her, which she did for eighteen years. Eleanor's parents had a good relationship, yet her mother regretted not having her own finances to manage. Her message to Eleanor: make your own money. Money is power. Eleanor started her career in PR and advertising, but something was missing. She decided to attend journalism school and, then, started her own communications firm. Eleanor was drawn to content about women's independence and financial equity. She trained in coaching and shifted her business model to support female entrepreneurs in their growth and development. In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Eleanor's journey: Eleanor's work has been published or quoted in publications including The Globe & Mail, The Atlantic, CBC, Chatelaine, and more. She's on a mission to double the number of women entrepreneurs who scale past $1M in revenue by 2030.

“Money is power,” Eleanor Beaton's mother told her at a very young age. “Always make your own.” Growing up in Nova Scotia with an economist father, Beaton learned all about finances. She began her career in advertising, where she opened her own communications consulting agency before later reinventing herself through business journalism. By her mid-20s she had brought her love of storytelling together with her passion for personal development and founded SafiMedia. An acronym for Self-Actualized Female Innovator, SafiMedia aims to double the number of female founders who scale past $1,000,000 in revenue by 2030. Ten years after creating SafiMedia, tragedy struck when her father passed away from a sudden illness. In this conversation with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour, Beaton discusses the dissolution of ambition she experienced at the loss of her father, how her grief became the catalyst for reinvention, and her advice for women who are ready to take the leap into entrepreneurship. Now the host of the Power + Presence + Position podcast, Beaton helps other women reinvent their lives and their careers on a daily basis. FREE GIFT!

No. How about we start really creating assets and thinking about an ecosystem of growth rather than putting it all on our own back and growing through our labor?”“The key to a sustainable business is packaged standardized offerings. So a business will start with a lot of bespoke services. And I think that's really a powerful way (to start) and you can always have a portion of your business be bespoke. But if you truly wanna scale, you're going to need to start standardizing through group programs, courses, or standardized services.”“We're living through this epidemic of overwhelm. There can certainly be a huge amount of ease and flow. But the reality is there are parts of a business that are hard.

In this replay episode, we're digging into a topic that not only cannot be ignored, but one that honestly drives me absolutely crazy. Why? It's the difference between setting yourself free versus producing more headaches for yourself as an entrepreneur. The terms “growth” and “scale” are often used interchangeably in the business world, but here's the central idea: they sure as hell aren't the same thing. Not establishing the difference between these two terms is contributing to the confusion and stress you're experiencing, and I know that's not what you're after. Keep reading This is a rampant problem, especially for women entrepreneurs and leaders who all have a greater mission in common. Cash is great, but we want more than that. We want influence, autonomy, and to make an impact. To do that, you need a business that's simple to run and that doesn't require all your life force to grow it. Tune in this week to discover the difference between “growth” and “scaling,” and why this distinction matters. You'll learn how this will reveal what truly matters and what will produce results for your company, and the principles of scaling to begin implementing so you can move forward with intention. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The difference between growth and scaling. An example from my life of how powerful it is to understand the difference. 3 things every woman entrepreneur wants in business. Why focusing on growth models in your company is leaving you feeling conflicted. The principles of scaling. How scaling creates the margins that enable you to build a successful life and business.

Would you describe yourself as ambitious? That's not a bad thing, especially if you're an ambitious woman who's building a successful, meaningful business.

When I was running my consulting business and first started my coaching practice, each one of my clients had specific, varying needs. For this reason, every proposal or solution I offered was custom-tailored to fit them like a glove. They always got exactly what they needed to solve their specific problems, but there's just one problem with this approach. When you create bespoke, custom-built services, you morph what you offer around what your client needs. This makes marketing and selling super easy. However, what isn't easy is getting back the hours you spend essentially reinventing the wheel with each and every client, which not only creates so much complexity in your business, but also sucks all your time and energy. Keep reading For those of you who want to stop being the linchpin in your company the way you are now so you can finally create more time and freedom, the solution here is a scalable offer. At Safi Media, we believe in the power of a scalable offer that increases your income without having to increase your effort, but how do you do that? In this episode, I'm first guiding you through how to create a scalable offer. You'll discover why marketing and selling becomes more challenging when you make this shift in approach, and therefore, how to create demand for the solution you're now offering. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What a scalable offer means, and how to create one. 3 secrets to building the skill of creating demand. The pros and cons of creating bespoke consulting or services for every single one of your clients. What the pretzel approach means, and why you don't need to create demand when you use it. Why creating demand is a skill that requires a profound shift in your approach. How to be effective in creating demand around scalable offers.

So often in the work I do with my clients, I see women leaders doing highly valuable, complex work selling packaged services, coaching products, or intellectual property. However, when the market wants us to provide customizable, made-to-order contracts and offerings, there's a huge labor and cognitive strain involved. Go back 10 years in my business and you'll see that everything I did was customized. This meant that I was stuck at $250K a year at an absolute maximum. The truth is you can choose to hustle in this way, but like me, you'll experience an earning ceiling that seems impossible to break through, and not only that, you'll be intellectually exhausted. Keep reading If you've been experiencing a revenue plateau, it might be time to audit the complexity in your business and release it. When you can create an offer that doesn't require extra legwork from you to deliver, whether you're selling $500K or $5K worth of that offer in a year, you've created what is known as a $500K Offer. And on this episode, I'm guiding you through the steps to creating exactly this. Join me this week to discover how to use the $500K Offer to make the second half of 2022 more lucrative while experiencing more freedom. I'm showing you why this is the key to making your company scalable, and how to start driving constructive change so you can take your business from where it currently is to where you want to go. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What the $500K offer is all about. Why I don't offer customized packages or services. The key to a million-dollar revenue stream in your business.

Are you being the kind of founder and leader that a seven-figure company truly requires? Is your relationship with your business mature enough to continue taking it to new heights? If you think about your human relationships, especially with children if you have them, you'll understand how your relationship with them has to evolve. Without the level of maturity that you bring to the table, their growth and development gets stymied. And the same is true for your relationship with your business. Keep reading What I'm offering to you this week is that you don't own your business as much as you partner with it. The cash, influence, and autonomy you want to create through your business requires a mature partnership, and what I see too often in my work is women founders having an immature relationship with their company, which makes producing powerful results impossible.

I'm showing you how we're using the rise of anti-hustle culture as an excuse to not show up as a mature leader, the reality of the entrepreneurial experience, and the 3 keys to developing a mature relationship with your business as a seven-figure founder.

I talk to many business owners who are in the process of shifting their business models from a one-to-one model to one where they have the ability to sell to many people at once. This is one of the classic ways we scale up a service or knowledge-based company, and lots of entrepreneurs are trying to figure out how to package up what they do to offer to multiple people at once. For some reason, in the process of making this shift, I watch brilliant women founders make the leap of logic that they must now become excellent digital or social media marketers. They believe this is the only way to rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the only way to build a million-dollar business selling scaled-up services. Keep reading Many of you have fantastic networks and have always been great at relational marketing, but you're struggling with digital marketing, and you can't figure out how those entrepreneurs advertising on Instagram or LinkedIn are getting it to work so amazingly for them. So this raises the question: is it possible to market effectively without resorting to social media? Join me on the podcast this week as I reassure you that it's totally possible to dramatically increase your program sales without social media. We're exploring and debunking why so many leaders believe they need to utilize digital marketing or social media to scale, and 3 things you can do instead. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why so many founders believe they have to use social media to market their leveraged offers. The sneaky ways we discount the revenue we've made. 3 things you can do instead of marketing your programs through social media. How to get clear on what's in your lane, and what isn't.

Why are you feeling hesitant about raising your prices? If this is something you've been wanting to do but haven't yet, you've likely been told that it's because you have a scarcity mindset around your business. While this messaging often comes from a place of good intention, it's actually totally off the mark. You probably have legitimate questions and reasons for why you're not raising your prices. Being told we have to cultivate an abundant mindset is just one of the ways women's thoughts are weaponized against us because if you want to charge premium prices but aren't doing it, your mindset is not the problem here. Keep reading Instead, there's often more systemic issues happening inside your business. If you want to charge premium prices, it's because you know profit is power. The more profit you have, the more resources you have to invest in making your vision real. So today, I'm introducing you to the best tool for guaranteeing and growing your profit. Listen in this week as I show you why charging premium prices is a positioning problem that needs to be addressed and solved, rather than a mindset problem. I'm walking you through the three disciplines of premium pricing and serving high-end clients, so you can scale your cash, influence, and autonomy. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The best tool to guarantee and grow your profit. How the most common advice women receive about raising prices is untrue and used against us. Why not raising your prices is not a mindset issue. The 3 disciplines of premium pricing and serving high-end clients. What charging premium pricing is going to require of you.

Are you overpricing or underpricing your offers? This is a question that has many of my clients spinning in circles, completely confused and lost. Figuring out how much to charge is a really important decision any CEO or founder is going to make, and pricing strategy is something that comes up a lot in my work. In a world where business rules have been written by men, how do women like us create enormous success on our terms? For so long, our contributions have been undervalued and overlooked. The gender pay gap is real, and the numbers simply don't lie. Keep reading Women across the board are underpricing their offers and under-earning. So the advice we're given is, “Charge your worth.” The intent behind owning our worth seems great at face value and there are instances where keeping this in mind is effective. But I consider this to be somewhat troubling advice, and I'm breaking down why on this episode. Join me this week as I show you why we need to understand the difference between charging our worth and charging our value. You'll discover why value creation is the name of the game, and how to understand, claim, and articulate the value of what you have to offer. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why the common advice women are given is troubling. The intent behind the advice of charging what we're worth. Why your worth is infinite and nothing changes that. How to understand, claim, and articulate the value of your offers. The difference between charging what we're worth and charging what our value is. How this distinction makes all the difference as you build your seven-figure business.

The most important emotional state for entrepreneurial achievement is not motivation, commitment, or dedication. It's willingness. When you cultivate within yourself a state of willingness, you are equipping yourself with the emotional juice required to transform at a deep level. Willingness allows you to reinvent your future one project, one experience, and one result at a time. However, many of you aren't currently in that state of willingness, and this episode will help you change that. Keep reading Women entrepreneurs often have deep commitment to their goals, but that's not enough. Commitment is the silent pact you make within yourself, an internal decision to go for your dream. It matters, but willingness matters more. In this episode, find out what willingness is, why it matters, and three steps to cultivate it for yourself. You'll discover why this emotional state is so critical for entrepreneurial achievement and the tremendous impact it will have on your business. I'm sharing what willingness has done and will do for my business, and where to go to work on this with me and my team. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The difference between having a vision and making your vision real. What willingness is. Why strategies and tactics aren't enough to create results. How to be willing to face the fallout of your actions, good or bad. Why willingness is so imperative for entrepreneurs. How to cultivate greater willingness.

As women entrepreneurs, we live and breathe in the results economy. We are not paid for the amount of time and effort that we put into a project. We are compensated based on the value that we create in the marketplace and the tangible results we create for other people. And when we put half-done work out into the world, we're not compensated at all. Over here at Safi Media, we're all about creating tangible value for female founders. Now, what we've come to realize is that work that is in progress creates little to no value in the marketplace. Work that is done is what creates value for yourself and other people. Keep reading Because I and so many of my clients operate in this results economy, understanding the difference between fake results and real results is a massive gamechanger. We're not here to squander our hours of effort by putting work out half-finished. So this week, I'm discussing how to actually get things done so you see real results. If you can align your efforts and intentions with real results, your level of success, your bottom line, and the impact you have will increase exponentially without burning out, and who doesn't want that? In today's episode, I'm breaking down the difference between fake results and real results, how to distinguish between the two in your business, and how to create real results for your business. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why, if you put half-done work into the world, you get fake results. What fake results look like in your business and why they make us think we're being productive. Why the only way to get real results is to put your completed work into the marketplace. How we help our clients to bring done energy to their work, instead of spinning in perfectionism. Why tolerating unclosed loops and unfinished work is sending the wrong messages to your team and your clients. What you can do to move past your fake results and start creating completed work that yields real results in the marketplace Resources Mentioned: To receive weekly written gold in your inbox, make sure you sign up for my email newsletter.

About 18 months ago, I was having a conversation with a wise mentor of mine about the vision I had for my company and how I saw our position in the world. It was big, exciting, and I had confidence and trusted myself, but I kept butting up against a ceiling in terms of my own ability. This is when my mentor said, “Eleanor, unlocking the next level of your vision isn't about what you do. It's about becoming the woman who is capable of having those things.” That conversation sparked a quest inside me to do an even deeper level of personal development work in order to bring my vision to life. Keep reading Personal development is a journey that never stops, and I realized the inner work I needed to do to become that woman, I needed to do a different type of inner work. I needed to take my good emotional resilience skills and make them even greater. And if you want to do the same, one thing you'll need to do is balance great insight with listening to yourself. So, in today's podcast, I'm introducing you to a powerful creative, artistic, inspiring voice in the field of personal development: Tina Lifford. Tina is an author, a successful actress, and the founder of the Inner Fitness Project, and she's a queen whose voice, leadership, and ideas have always inspired me, and she's here to inspire you as well. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The emotional resilience required to be a visionary CEO. The most important inner fitness skills we need to build up. How we lie to ourselves by believing we need to have all the answers in order to do something successfully. What it means to become a woman who is capable of having a business that can change the world. The weight of believing you're alone in pursuit of your vision, and why crewing up is the answer. What changes when you use curiosity as a tool to communicate with that which is guiding your mission.

As women founders and entrepreneurs, we've been fed a lot of advice about the power of staying open-minded. We're told to stay open to external feedback, ways of doing things, and challenges that come our way. Being a good leader, we're told, means staying open. I've spent the first part of my life, as I'm sure you have, honing my skills on openness. It's one of my core values, and the periods in my business and personal development where I've been completely open to ideas and stimulus from other people have served me extremely well. Keep reading But what I've discovered of late is that there is power in intentionally closing down and being non-receptive. The notion of closing down gets a bad rap, and while there's definitely a time and place for being open, purposefully choosing to be non-receptive is more valuable than you think, and I'm showing you why. If you often find yourself overwhelmed or distracted to the point where you can't hear yourself think, or you identify as a sensitive person and you're ready to find a new way to protect your energy and creativity, learning the skill of being non-receptive is key. On this episode, I'm showing you what I've come to realize about the power of being non-receptive, and my top strategies for practicing this. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How being open-minded can serve us well at the beginning of our business journey. Why I believe the advice given to women about staying open is stupid 75% of the time. What I've come to realize about the power of being non-receptive. How I've learned to consciously hone my skill of being non-receptive. Why giving ourselves permission to be non-receptive is so valuable. My strategies for purposefully being non-receptive.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a much clearer idea of how to apply my teachings to a deeper context and how they relate to your own business. Many of you listening sell knowledge and transformation through your expertise, whether it's as a coach, consultant, author, or podcaster.

For most founders and entrepreneurs, there are actually just one or two core things that you do that actually produce revenue. So, if I were to quiz you, would you know exactly what those revenue-generating activities are? Well, by the end of this episode you will have a clear and decisive answer. I call any activity that produces revenue a $10,000 or a $100,000 task, and knowing what those tasks are is critical. However, many of us busy ourselves with tasks that aren't bringing home the bacon. Keep reading We focus on sales, but not the activities that lead to sales. So if you're not currently making the revenue you want and believe you've tried everything, I'm challenging you to get down and dirty with the real cash-producing tasks. Tune in this week to discover a practical step that you can implement daily to make more money in your business. I'm sharing the daily activities that plant the seeds for future revenue, and all it's going to require of you is that you put yourself out there for a few minutes every day. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How 15 minutes of grit per day makes a massive impact on your revenue. Why sales are important, but they aren't the only metric you need to be monitoring. The reasons so many entrepreneurs are not seeing the results they want. Some of the cash-producing conversations you should be having every day. Why you don't need to work 15 hours a day in order to get paid.

Around the fall of last year, I started thinking more deeply about how I was using my time and if there were better ways to spend it. The kind of leader I wanted to be was one who could serve her mission, team, and community at the highest level, but my current calendar didn't reflect that. To show up as the energized and connected leader I wanted to be, I needed to make some shifts to how I was spending and scheduling my time. I know so many of you are feeling drained, overwhelmed, or exhausted by your calendars, and I can totally relate. Keep reading Your biggest asset as a female founder is your time. Talking about how you use it can inspire other women to think about how they use theirs and even help them make some empowered decisions to create changes. I'm hoping that what I share today empowers you to look at your time differently. In this episode, I'm giving you a behind the scenes look at my work week, schedule, and calendar. There are some key shifts I made to my calendar that have significantly improved my ability to show up as a leader. I'm sharing these shifts, some things for you to consider if you want to make these shifts too, and the amazing results I've observed since making these changes. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What your 30% open time could be used for. What I realized I wanted my calendar to look like. How to transform your expertise into assets. What I've noticed since making changes to my work week. Why you have to consider what your business requires of you right now.

There's no doubt that growing a business is one of the most epic personal and professional development journeys you can take in life. Besides the cash, influence, and autonomy that is there to be gained as an owner, having the collection of skills that a seven-figure company demands you acquire will set you up for life. As I look back at my journey as a founder, there are a handful of skills I've worked tirelessly to bring into my repertoire. And as I cast my mind back, there's a very specific order in which I needed to build them in for them to feed off of one another. Keep reading While you're using all of your leadership skills at once, building them all simultaneously is incredibly difficult. So, in this episode, I'm identifying the skills that you need to be an effective and successful CEO, and I'm laying out how to strategically build those leadership skills. Tune in this week to discover the skills that every founder needs to build, and why, especially in the early days, you are your business's most valuable asset. I'm sharing the secrets to making strategic investments in your every area of your development, and the dangers of narrowing your focus instead of elevating your capacity for every skill your business requires of you. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why you are the most important asset your business has. How strategic investments in your personal and professional growth will lay the foundation for even bigger assets. The importance of building your skills in a way that meets the needs of your business at each stage of its development. Why you need a baseline level of skill in operating every single area of your company, at least in the early stages. A cautionary tale of the pitfalls of only focusing on one area of your development. The specific skills every founder needs and the order in which I recommend you build them.

Eleanor Beaton, an incredible role model from Canada that is on a mission to empower female entrepreneurs. When Eleanor was a little girl, she had big dreams to become either a supermodel or an investment banker. This is because she grew up in the age of the biggest supermodels and always looked up to these glamorous, empowered, feminine women such as Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. As for why she wanted to be an investment banker, she had an Aunt who was a really successful investment banker in London that was such an inspiration to her. These were her role models growing up and looking up to these women has paved the way to where she is now. After eventually eliminating the supermodel and investment banker career, she went into journalism and then translated that into a communications consulting business. In 2015, she created a new business that focuses on women leadership development. Eleanor says she remembers when a news report came out one day that said, Naomi Campbell, a role model of Elenor since she was a young girl, wouldn't get out of bed for less than ten thousand dollars a day. She said at that time she was “flabbergasted” to heat this because that seemed like an enormous amount of money, but then she realized that Naomi was owning her worth and recognizing her own value. Eleanor says when women share their stories, lead the way and inspire, it can make a difference to other women in the world. When that news report came out she said it was the best guidepost of how valuable it was to recognize your worth. She takes this advice into her business, Safimedia, whose mission is to double the number of female founders who sustainably scale past a million dollars in annual revenue. In her business, Eleanor says that the one thing she sees over and over again is how do you scale a service business. She explains that most service businesses get to the first quarter million by hyper customization. She says that these types of businesses start to become like a prison because they are making money but they can't get out of it. That is the most common issue she sees that people come to her for. Melinda goes into the next topic by talking about how the scale of businesses today are skyrocketing. A million-dollar business seems like nothing today because businesses are growing so fast. She asks Eleanor how she frames that and what is the mindset she has and is it challenging to her? Eleanor responds with, “Absolutely”. She says running a bigger business is easier than a smaller business because you have a bigger team and Melinda agrees! Melinda says with running a small business she always gets trapped with thinking the bigger business is better just by their revenue but she then realizes that it is harder to run a smaller business. Eleanor says that when the business was small it was much harder and she even missed her kids growing up, but now the business is much bigger and she has more time. It is much simpler because they sell two things rather than a hundred. She says that you have to be okay with letting go of certain things and just focusing on a couple of things, and allow that to be enough. Eleanor says with men still being in the center of the business world and women being kind of off-centered that it can take a women's mindset off track, thinking you are not enough and thinking you have to hustle to become successful and valuable. She says there's so much hustle for worthiness. She says that you just have to allow what you do to be enough and you don't have to give people everything they want, choose a lane and stay in it and create a business that will provide by just doing a couple of things that you really excel at. She says that is a mindset shift that she had to go through and thinks that other women need to also. Next, Melinda asks Eleanor if a million is still the number? If by 2030 will a million still be the barometer or is it going to keep getting higher and reach 3 million especially in today's economy? She says, according to the research she and her business have done, their goal is to double the number of women-owned companies that scale past a million dollars in annual revenue by 2030. She says if they inspire, support, and educate an additional 200,000 female founders that their goals can be accomplished. Eleanor thought about what was important to her and the female founders she works with and she says it really comes down to cash, influence, autonomy, and creating a model that drives those three things. She created a model called the Jule business model, which is a company that grows at 30% or more a year until the founder wants to decelerate or accelerate their business growth. The founder has 30% profitability and has 30% open-time. She says the 30-30-30 concept is a great rule of thumb and there are so many benefits from doing it this way. Learn more about Eleanor and SafiMedia by visiting her website, or by checking out her podcast Power Presence Position. The show delivers practical insight for female founders.
As entrepreneurs, we're raised in a culture that says more is better. You need to hustle and grind your way to the top. But if you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you know that I am not about that life. There is definitely a time and place for us to get our hands dirty and work hard. It's when that level of intense work becomes the norm that we become numb to our pain and the things that bother us. Keep reading While there will be times in your business when you need to “suck it up” and use your grit, it can't be all the time. And the tool I share with you today will help you make sure of that. In this episode, I'm sharing a tried and true tool that I use to identify my pain points as I grow my company. The Pain Audit is an exceptionally useful tool for seeing where your inner genius is guiding you and what the next steps you need to take are. This episode will help you realize the type of support you might need and what shifts you need to make, so break out a pen and paper and let's go!

Over the last couple of months, I have been highlighting women leaders and founders who are taking a different approach to scaling their businesses. I have another one of those conversations to share with you today, but this one is about scaling your social impact. When we talk about wanting cash, influence, and autonomy, I think that influence really speaks to the difference we make in the world.

Keep reading My guest today did just that and now she is having a tremendous influence on her cause. Raby Gueye is the founder of a non-profit organization called Teach for Senegal. She is a 2021 recipient of Forbes' Top 30 Under 30 honor, and she is scaling social impact at an incredible level through her leadership and entrepreneurship. In this episode, Raby shares what it was like immigrating to the US as a child from Senegal and how she quickly learned how to be a leader and advocate for others. She takes us through the creation of Teach for Senegal and the most important lessons this journey as a founder has taught her. Raby is someone who walks the talk, and I know this conversation will inspire you to walk in your purpose too. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How Raby's upbringing shaped the leader she has become. What it was like advocating for her family at eight years old.

There is so much more to building a feminist business than paying your female team members fairly. It's not only only about pay, but it's about your business policies, your pricing, your accessibility, and your team. My guest today is a powerhouse in feminist leadership and entrepreneurship.

Niching is a deceptively simple business tool that everybody thinks they know. People think they are niched down enough, but in reality, they are not as focused as they need to be to scale from six figures to seven. If you want to pass that million dollar mark, you need to be practicing the art of deep niching. This is not simply narrowing down your ideal clients and your specific slice of the market you serve. Deep niching is so much more nuanced and complex, and it is the key to going big. Keep reading Women CEOs come to us often at Safi Media feeling overworked, overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of where to go next. They've created amazing six-figure businesses, and they don't know how they could work any harder. What I tell them is it's not about working harder, it's about working with more focus. In this episode, I share the incredible power of deep niching and how this learned skill can help you scale your business past seven figures. Find out the three aspects of deep niching, why you need to embrace vulnerability if you want to scale, and how we help our clients master this skill. If you want to scale your business without scaling the headaches and exhaustion, listen in. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What deep niching is. How my client used deep niching to scale from six to seven figures in one year. Why you have to become vulnerable in order to scale. How to practice deep niching.

Our culture tells us from an early age what working with other women and for other women will be like. There can be jealousy, competition, alienation, and more, so beware. This leads to women entering the workforce prepared to be uncomfortable, anticipating the subtle meanness of other women, and some vow to never work for a female boss or be part of an all-female team again. This is called female rivalry, and it impacts women entrepreneurs too. But female rivalry is complex. It's hard to put your finger on how it shows up because it's subtle. Luckily, my guest today specializes in this topic and helping women overcome it. Keep reading Dr. Amber Tichenor is a women's rivalry coach and consultant, and author of the fantastic new book, Behind Frenemy Lines.

Listen in this week for an in depth conversation with Dr. Amber Tichenor about female rivalry and the subtle ways it can show up. We're exploring how the patriarchal system we operate in can be recreated to be more female friendly, how to handle female rivalry in your entrepreneurial journey, and why this elephant in the boardroom needs to be talked about more.

How female rivalry shows up for female entrepreneurs. What the process of writing a book was like. The power of identifying her niche. What to do if you are experiencing female rivalry.

I've been talking a lot on the podcast about feminine energy and the role it plays in wealth creation and business building. For so long, women entrepreneurs have played by the same rules as our male counterparts, unknowingly denying this tremendous power in each of us to lead, manage, and generate wealth. My guest today is the epitome of embracing feminine energy and using it to grow a massive 8-figure business. Michelle Bosch is a badass entrepreneur, investor, mom, and proud first generation immigrant. Together with her husband, Michelle created The Land Profit Generator Program to help others grow their generational wealth through land investing. Keep reading Michelle's entrepreneurial journey started with focusing solely on KPIs, metrics, and numbers. While she still has a strong ability to analyze numbers in a business, she also shows up with immense compassion. Today, her journey includes making time and space for her intuition, for flow, and for her feminine energy. In this episode, Michelle and I talk about the power of shifting from a transactional mindset in business to a more transformational one. Michelle shares her story of immigrating from Honduras and how her late father's investment paved the way for her career in investing. KPIs are always important, but as you'll hear today, taking quantum leaps internally is just as important for building wealth. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: An example of how harmonious growth can yield the same results as forced growth. 3 quantum leaps Michelle took to build tremendous wealth. How Michelle created and grew her passive income. Why exploring your whys for building wealth is so important. How Michelle describes her relationship with money. Why money has a neutral charge.

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.

Bethany shares her story of building a meaningful, rich business that feeds her creativity while also providing a financial fortress despite her challenging upbringing.

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How Bethany learned to lean into the internal places that feel scary. Bethany's evolution as an entrepreneur, writer, and teacher. What the mother wound is and its four levels. How the mother wound manifests itself. What happens when you start telling yourself the truth at the most basic level.

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.

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 influence, you need the tools found in the Jewel Business Model.

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 your marketing dollars focusing on and if those are the people you truly want to serve. Find out how disqualify selling works, why you need to consider it, and how to start implementing it in your business today. If you're serious about refining your niche and growing your revenue, then this is a method you have to check out. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What disqualify selling is. The ways you can use disqualification selling. How disqualification increases sales and revenue. How customer mentality changes when you exclude instead of making a product “for everyone.” How to implement disqualify selling. Why it is useful for people to self-deselect before they ever reach out to you. How to get rid of pricing objections using disqualification selling.

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 greater 7-figure constraint to your company so you can scale with more focus and success. I'm sharing my approaches to applying constraint and why I know this strategy will be amazing for your business and personal life. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What a constraint is and where it comes from. Why pruning is an act of love. How to declutter your business. The 3 categories of constraints.

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.

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 scale so you can get more cash, more influence, and more autonomy, while also fulfilling your mission. I'm telling you exactly how to stop overworking yourself, simplify your systems, and scale with confidence. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why it drives me crazy when people use these terms interchangeably. The differences between scale and growth. The 3 things that every female entrepreneur I've ever met has wanted. What traditional growth models are about and why they need to evolve. The 3 principles of scale. Why scale gets you closer to fulfilling your mission than growth does.

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 example of the success that comes with specializing. There's a tremendous temptation to be a generalist these days, but I invite you to imagine what your life would be like if you had the courage to dive deeper, niche down, and sink further into your zone of genius. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How Barbara is making a massive impact by focusing on her zone of genius. Why it takes courage to let other things go so you can focus on your zone. The success you can have when you niche down consistently over time. Why becoming a generalist waters down your brand and power.

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 about the importance of women increasing their financial literacy and some ways you can do that, as well as her advice for managing your money and building wealth. To get the cash, influence, and autonomy we all want, we need to learn more about our money and start nurturing positive relationships with it.

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.

You have a message to share with your people about who you are and what your business does. But, the idea of showing up on video to share that message paralyzes you. Stepping into the spotlight seems terrifying, and this fear prevents you from sharing your message. As the CEO of your company, and especially if you're a company of one, it's very important to be a spokesperson for your organization and its mission. You might be scared of showing up and being judged, criticized, corrected, or maybe you just don't like how you look on camera. These reasons for not being visible aren't serving you and they aren't helping you be the strong leader your company needs. Keep reading My guest today is an expert on showing up authentically and powerfully online and in front of the camera. Keri Murphy is my dear friend and the CEO and founder of Inspired Living. As an international speaker, media expert, and business mentor, she's a master at showing entrepreneurs how to show up authentically on camera and how to leverage video in their branding. In today's episode, Keri and I discuss the incredible act of courage it is to show up authentically and to share your truth. Keri walks us through her experience with visibility and how she helps entrepreneurs work through their discomfort so they can be the strong, visible leaders their businesses need. From social media to how our comfort changes as we age, Keri and I cover it all in this episode and you do not want to miss it. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Keri's experience of getting comfortable with being seen. How our comfort in showing up has evolved as we've aged. The difference between hustling and unwavering commitment. Why you need to be aware of comparison-itis when using social media. The two types of influencers on social media and which one you want to be. How the more comfortable you are showing up as yourself, the more your business will grow.

I have a question for you. With what your business is currently offering, are you striving to serve your audience or to impress your peers? Meeting your audience where they're at makes sense, right? So then why is it so hard to do? I have seen it so many times. We get excited about the success of our business and we begin to overshoot our prospects, overwhelming the audience. Doing this impedes your ability to serve them and ultimately cripples your business growth. Keep reading The truth is that audience choice is a seven figure decision. You need to be careful when selecting your niche and exactly how you want to serve them. Once you make that decision, stick to it. Continue to examine and meet their needs as best you can. In today’s episode, we talk all about the dangers of overshooting your audience and why it can be mistaken for a business strategy. I talk to you about the results that are possible if you commit to an audience and how you can gain cash, autonomy, and influence through that decision. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What overshooting your audience looks like. What the motivators for overshooting your audience are. How overshooting your audience is a risk. What the “professor complex” is. Why we shouldn’t get sucked into the mentality of continuous transformation. What happens when you don’t commit to a core audience.

Today, we are exploring 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 your marketing dollars focusing on and if those are the people you truly want to serve. Find out how disqualify selling works, why you need to consider it, and how to start implementing it in your business today. If you’re serious about refining your niche and growing your revenue, then this is a method you have to check out. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What disqualify selling is. The ways you can use disqualification selling. How disqualification increases sales and revenue. How customer mentality changes when you exclude instead of making a product “for everyone.” How to implement disqualify selling. Why it is useful for people to self-deselect before they ever reach out to you. How to get rid of pricing objections using disqualification selling.

I have been on a mission lately to demonstrate the value and methodology behind group programs as a business instead of running yourself ragged with one-on-one coaching. While each of these can have a place in your business, it is highly valuable to dig into group programs so that you can avoid entrepreneurial overwhelm. I want to give you a great example of this today by highlighting an interview and a case study that demonstrates the effectiveness of group programs. I'm doing so with the incredible Stacy Mayer, who has found massive success implementing group programs over the last six months. Keep Reading Stacy has always been a strong advocate for women and their place in the world of high-power executives. She got her start by making her voice heard in New York, although not quite the way you would imagine. She led an improv company in Times Square while moonlighting at a hedge fund, steadily making the transition into running her own successful coaching business. I want you to learn from Stacy’s process and her life path as a case study for how you might implement group programs into your own business. On top of that, I’m challenging you not only to go check Stacy out for yourself, but to bring at least one other woman along with you that wants a promotion into a senior leadership role. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Who Stacy Mayer is and how she owns her career. Why messaging is such an essential part of your business development. The power of repetition personally and professionally. How deep you have to go to really niche down. How to work past the imposter syndrome and grow. Why saying “no” is essential to entrepreneurial leadership success. Why your company doesn’t control your career.

One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself about your business is what is most likely to hold me back from achieving my goals this year? This question might not sound like a very positive outlook, but hear me out. Getting clear on the most significant barriers to your growth is supremely powerful. For almost any entrepreneur and business, the single biggest obstacle you will face is typically overwhelm. We try to branch out into too many areas, provide too many services, or serve too many audiences. It saps our time and energy and rids us of the ability to ready ourselves for future opportunities. Keep Reading In this podcast, I explore the solution to entrepreneurial overwhelm. I look at how Steve Jobs came back into Apple two months before it declared bankruptcy and pulled it back from the brink. By niching down, he saved a currently multi-trillion dollar business. Doing less to grow more requires you to retrain your mind. This goes against the “hustle and grind” mentality so many of us grew up with. Niching down is one of the most courageous things you can do as a leader and it's something you definitely won't regret. Today, we are looking at how to develop a strategy to help you niche down so you can grab future opportunities. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What entrepreneurial overwhelm is. How to achieve focus in your business. What strategy is and why it is so frequently misunderstood. How Steve Jobs and Apple demonstrate the value of niching down. Why excess capacity is entrepreneurial gold. How niching down can lead to more of everything.

Building an email list isn’t complex, it’s actually quite simple. But when legions of hyper-activated bro-marketers are attempting to sell you secrets for rapid list growth, it’s easy to overlook the power of a carefully built, highly qualified list of people who love you and your work. There are three core strategies that will allow you to craft that highly-qualified list, and surprise surprise, they take time. Too often we see the tail end of many years of consistent, hard work and mistake it for rapid growth. Slow, consistent growth is the name of the game. Keep Reading Whether you use paid advertising to grow your email list or rely on organic traffic, you need to commit. This is the problem I see so many entrepreneurs having when they feel stuck with their list building. But don’t worry, in this episode I show you exactly how to get unstuck and start growing a lucrative list. Today on the podcast, I share the three steps you need to take to build a highly engaged, returning, qualified email list. I reveal what an anchor platform is, how to choose one, and then how to double-down on its list generating potential. What I’m sharing today won’t get you a massive list by next week. But it will show you how to grow your list using the compound effect while also saving you time and energy. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How Oprah built her following with an anchor platform. Why people struggle with building their list. How to choose an anchor platform that works for you. What you need to know to decide your frequency. How to move people off the platform and onto your list. What the compound effect is and how it skyrockets your growth. Resources Mentioned: To receive weekly written gold in your inbox, make sure you sign up for my email newsletter.
