On this week's episode, Cynthia sits down with Autumn to chat through Autumn's health and wellness journey as well as what inspired her to shake up the health food industry. After struggling with digestive issues for most of her teen and adult life, Autumn decided to try out the Paleo diet to attempt to get her life back. For 30 days, she eliminated refined foods, shopped at local farmer's markets, and ate grass fed meats, wild seafood, and organic produce. The results — both physically and mentally — were astounding, and they sparked her interest to dive deeper into the connection between the way we feel and the way we eat. Autumn and Cynthia dive into mental health protective foods, how to balance your blood sugar, and tips for finding your dietary sources of inflammation. They also get into Autumn's family-oriented morning routine and how she practices time blocking as a busy mom and business owner. Tune in to learn more about Autumn and how she's transforming the way we eat on-the-go. In today's episode, you'll discover: How Autumn healed her damaged relationship with food and her body image after leaving the world of dance How seeking professional support can help you work through the root causes of your limiting belief systems and mindset blocks How to unapologetically set and uphold your boundaries Key micronutrients that have a major impact on mood regulation What makes Paleovalley different from other health food brands Important Links: Show notes for this episode Resources Mentioned: To get 15% off your full Paleovalley order, go to transformationalnutrition.com/paleovalley To get 85% off of Palevalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex, go to transformationalnutrition.com/acv Learn more about becoming a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach Watch the Dream Career video series Connect with Autumn Website Instagram Follow Us: Visit our website Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook
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.

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.

The Steve Weatherford Show | The Secrets To A High Performance Life
Back in January, Steve was on a trip to visit San Diego when his phone rang. It was a call from Ed Mylett asking if he could cover for him and speak at Terry Savelle Foy's, “Next Conference 2022.” So after a short 2 month sabbatical from speaking, Steve went and spoke to hundreds of business and church leaders to help them get clear on their launching pad to what God has next. “How many of us have had experiences as kids that it's kind of funny to laugh about now… but some of you guys haven't gotten your breakthrough yet. Some of you guys are letting some of those agreements, some of those experiences, disqualify you.” -Steve Weatherford In this Episode: - Discover what God has “Next” for you - Steve takes you through a visualization routine to get extreme clarity on what matters most - Be a thermostat not a thermometer - Not letting past achievements become your identity - “If you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” - Ronald Reagan - Getting clear on your launching pad Who I am Whose I am/purpose What matters most (core values) Discipline - How you can be possibility for other people the way Keith Craft was to Steve - Choose your hard Resources Mentioned: - To get the poem Steve read, text the word HARD to 9497635934 - “Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” - Romans 12:2 - Get 15% off Brain MD supplements using code “WEATHERFORD15” at checkout Connect with Steve: - Twitter - https://twitter.com/weatherford5 - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-weatherford-75625253/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Official.Steve.Weatherford/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/weatherford5/?hl=en - Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Dms2vyzJwiN4UltE2_N7g
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. How to create a $500K offer. Why you want to bring standardization to your offerings. Resources Mentioned: To receive weekly written gold in your inbox, make sure you sign up for my email newsletter.

As women founders and leaders, we talk often about making money, and lots of it. But are we using the money we make to create the kinds of changes that we want to see in the world? I like to say that money is power, but only if you make it so. Your money becomes a powerful force when you use it in a way that advances your mission, aligns with your values, and brings your vision to life. And this week, I have someone who is a living example of what's possible when you're intentional about how you generate wealth and use your money to advance the causes you believe in.

Aaron Baker really loves small towns, particularly his small town of Atlanta, Missouri. He is an expert and community clean-up events, engaging help and funds, identifying creative ways to solve problems, and his enthusiasm and passion are infectious. About Aaron If you know anything about Aaron Baker, you know he is obsessed with his small town. He's also in constant motion to keep Atlanta, Missouri moving forward. Aaron will tell you his most important job is being a husband to Erica and father to their four children. Then, he'll tell you about being the local 4-H Club leader. Aaron works form home in government affairs and crisis communications for several Fortune 500 companies. Aaron says his real job subsidizes his habit of loving his community. Aaron also helps organize an annual Sunday morning workday at his local church when the congregation leaves the church to be the hands and feet of Christ in the community. This year, around 400 volunteers served on 24 teams in two counties to do volunteer work outside of the church on a Sunday morning. This included more than 60 volunteers working in Atlanta on various projects. On this episode, Aaron talks about motivating people in “micro towns,” those communities that don't have an Airbnb or a large employer, but have people committed to improving the local quality of life. Through small grants, fundraising and sweat equity, Aaron has worked with others to keep his small town alive; this includes about 100 locals that have volunteered for community workdays to paint, landscape, clean-up and more. The Bakers help organize annual events in the community to keep people connected to each other and the local K-12 school, where Aaron is a school board member. Each year, the Bakers also help organize and host events in downtown Atlanta, where thousands of people gather throughout the year for the area's largest Easter Egg Hunt, the annual “Big Wheels” event, and the town's Homecoming Festival. Aaron has also helped the city receive grant funds to demolish abandoned homes and commercial buildings that have resulted in new homes being built and young families moving back to the area. One century ago, areas like this in North Missouri had twice the population they do today; Aaron wants to reverse that trend. On weekends, you can find Aaron spraying weeds around town or mowing neighbors' lawns that need a little help. Aaron will be the first to admit he doesn't have it all figured out, but he's going to keep working hard to keep his small town growing. In this episode, we cover: How tact plays an important role in community morale when you're trying to move people forward. Managing liability and risk and weighing your options How practical things like a place for yard waste and clean fill in a small town can keep folks encouraged to keep up with properties. Why demolition projects are so important to keep a town moving forward and looking alive. Asking for help in a way that is specific, personal, and effective.

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. Tune in to hear how a mature partnership with your business might be the missing piece right now. 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. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What an immature relationship with your business looks like. The reality of the entrepreneurial experience and what it takes to grow a company.

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.

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. How to unleash the true depth of your purpose and vision into the world through the vehicle of your business.

For many, retirement can be one of the scariest things you face. Imagine trying to do this all alone after the loss or your spouse or significant other. I have a reader, Sherry, that is in this very situation and recently reached out with a few questions. Sherry asks for advice for a widow at 57 that wants to retire in 10 years. She has an annuity and wants to know what she should do with the annuity. I think the real question or concern here is ‘Will I be ok, will I have enough money?' Here is my advice: 05:56 Step 1 - Do a financial inventory, or a net worth statement. 09:59 Step 2 - Produce a cash flow statement (current and projected). 14:13 Step 3 - Identify your ‘why' behind your retirement goal. What are your plans?

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.

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. It's about walking in your truth and your purpose, and really tuning inward to hear what that could be. 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.

What Teach for Senegal is and how she started it. The most impactful lessons Raby has learned from being a founder. Why CEOs don't need to have all the answers.

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.

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.

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.

David Hutchens: Story Dash David Hutchens helps leaders find and tell their stories. He works with leaders around the world to find, craft, and tell their most urgent stories for the purpose of creating shared meaning, preserving culture, disseminating learning, and speeding change in organizations. He has taught the Storytelling Leader program at some of the most influential organizations — and he's written many books, including the Circle of the 9 Muses* and The Leadership Story Deck*. He is the co-creator with longtime friend of the show Susan Gerke of the GO Team program. He's also the author of the new book, Story Dash: Find, Develop, and Activate Your Most Valuable Business Stories...In Just a Few Hours*. In this conversation, David and I revisit the power of storytelling and highlight where many leaders go wrong. We explore the common mistakes that David sees in his work all over the world. Plus, we invite listeners into a few practical actions that will help stories land with better impact. Key Points Four mistakes that leaders make: They are not storytelling, sometimes because they don't see themselves as storytellers or feel like they are performing. They don't connect the story to the strategic intent but never clearly answering the “why am I telling this story?” question. They avoid emotional content of stories because they either don't want to be emotional or are presenting to a “numbers person.” They expect it to just happen, instead of making intentional effort to make it happen.

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.

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.

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 Credo Series, hear my fabulously insightful conversation with Bethany Webster about how the mother wound within each of us affects our business journeys. 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. 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 list. You'll learn how to get rid of email list toxins or people who never open your emails, how to start building relationships with your readers, and the power of becoming an edutainer.

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. I share what a jewel business is, what it is not, and how women are championing the conversation around total life success with this model. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What I learned from thousands of interviews and consults with women entrepreneurs. What total life success is and why women want it. Why I think it's degrading to be labeled a "lifestyle business." What a jewel business is and why this model is so compelling to women entrepreneurs. The differences between a star business and a jewel business. How impossible goals can be a disservice to your business.

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.
