Fierce Feminine Leadership

If you want to scale your business so you can generate revenue without working 24/7, learning how to integrate team members who do what you do is critical. But how do you convince your clients to work with those team members when they come to your company to work with you? Last week we talked about scaling your business through group programs, and today we’re continuing the conversation by talking about scaling your business through team. This isn’t about operational team members who are also very important; it’s about team members who do what you do. Keep Reading When you’re the only one your clients trust to deliver their services, not only do you stunt your company's growth, but you put yourself on the fast track to burnout. No matter how much you love providing 1:1 service yourself, it’s not sustainable.  This week, I explore 3 common mistakes I see CEOs making that deter their clients from wanting to work with other team members. When you get clear on these mistakes and how you might be making them, you

When I had my first company, I was the only asset. So when I stopped working, the money stopped, and my business was left vulnerable. As a female entrepreneur, if you find yourself in a similar position, then take a step back to evaluate your strategy and get ready to do something about it! After I made this mistake in my first business, I decided never to make the same mistake again and to educate other women entrepreneurs on building a business based on their assets, not their hustle. A great way to do this? Building group programs into your business strategy. Keep Reading There are so many ways you can build group programs and customize them to your business. Instead of working through all of these, I want to equip you with tips and strategies to progress mentally and strategically as you begin to implement your new plan. Tune in today to figure out how to grow revenue, explode profits, and come out with more free time than before. I provide you with seven super practical tips on how to sell and build grou

Are you confident in yourself as the CEO of your business? Most women entrepreneurs think they need nonstop leads, cash in the bank account, and the dream team to have confidence in themselves as CEOs. Actually, the opposite is true. When I talk about CEO confidence, I immediately think about my guest in today’s show. Alex Davidson is the CEO and Managing Director of Davidson London, and she’s one of my clients. We’re going on a deep dive into how Alex built her CEO confidence and how it affects her leadership. Keep Reading If you are running a company and you want to see six, seven, and multiple seven figure growth, you need what Alex has. If you want to build an incredible team, transform your relationship with yourself, and become the leader your future business needs, you need CEO confidence. Tune in today to hear my discussion with Alex about what it was like ascending in a family business, leading a mega successful team, and how she cultivated her confidence as a CEO. We get into all the nitty gritty pa

When Whitney Wolfe Herd left Tinder (after suing them for sexual harassment), she knew she had the skills, experience, and drive to building something great. She went on to create Bumble and soon, at the age of 31, became the youngest self-made female billionaire in history. I believe that success leaves clues. So I dissected her story to bring out the single most lucrative, most valuable nugget to help you unlock your next level of business growth no matter your starting point. Keep Reading Your path to success might look different than Whitney’s, but that doesn't matter. What matters is we all have the same milestones we want to hit in our own unique ways. Growing a business is messy and challenging, and there is no blueprint for success. But, we can take clues from each other’s journeys to help us on our own. In today’s episode, I breakdown the single most important thing Whitney Wolfe Herd did to turn Bumble into the dynamite, jewel business it is today. I’m sharing it with you because I believe this piec

Queens of business know that we are not actually building a business, we are building a world. And this mindset is so critical when it comes to creating a Jewel Business, one that uses the 30-30-30 concept we talked about last week to garner more CIA. We coach our clients on developing this mindset so they can stop waiting for permission and finally step up and lead. Do you want to be a minion in someone else’s world or the queen of your own domain? Keep Reading Shifting into this mindset is the first step to building a jewel business. Before we talk about any of the tactical milestones you want to hit, we need to discuss the way you think about yourself, your service, and what you want. In today's episode, I walk you through why women can sometimes struggle to step into leadership because of our conditioning and how you can rework your mindset to overcome that. I invite you to get into this energy with me, set your boundaries, and create the laws in your world. I'll also show you some of the ways we do this

After doing thousands of interviews with women entrepreneurs around the world and over a decade of research, I've developed a model unlike anything else out there: 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 episode, I lay out a very unique, effective, and all-encompassing model for women entrepreneurs to us

Your time is the most precious asset you have, but the way you’re managing it may actually be making you squander your most precious resource. When you stop trying to manage your time and instead adopt the tools I’m sharing with you today, you won’t have to manage your time because you’ll have plenty of it. Now, you may be shocked to hear that I’m not going to be teaching you how to “manage” your time. You read that right. I don’t believe in time management because I’ve found a way to create more CIA through my calendar without it. Keep Reading If you’re tired of feeling trapped by your schedule, burnout from back-to-back tasks, and like the most important things in your business aren’t getting the attention they deserve, you need to hear this episode. I used to feel that way too, until I found a way to create tremendous freedom in my calendar. In today’s podcast, I’m sharing how I regained control over my schedule by making five simple but powerful changes and how you can do the same. We did not create busin

We’re diving into part two of my social selling series, this time with a brilliant client of mine, Eva Jannotta. Eva has developed a unique method of social selling that has been so successful at increasing her cash, autonomy and influence; I just knew I had to have her on to share it with all of you. Eva and I met when she attended a retreat I was hosting, and since then we’ve worked together in different capacities. A woman after my own heart, Eva is a confident contrarian committed to simplicity. She’s the founder of Simply Put Strategies which works to advance thought leadership among women. Keep Reading Social selling doesn’t just include buying ads and posting on Instagram. In fact, Eva’s method doesn’t include either. She hosts weekly roundtables where invitees get introduced to new women and dive deep into connection, thought leadership, and business support.  In today’s podcast, Eva and I talk about building connections online and going deep with our networks, not just wide. Eva shares what led her t

Social selling is one of the hottest trends shaping modern sales. And like any trend, there is guaranteed to be tons of hype, jargon, and nonsense flooding the marketplace. Well, fear not, ladies, because we’re going to be cutting through all that jargon today.  I don’t always hop on the trend bandwagon, but social selling is something I see tremendous value in and have had tons of success with in my business. However, it is not a trend to jump on if you don’t have a few crucial elements in place first. Keep Reading >> If you have no idea what social selling is or you’re confused how to do it well, I’m going to walk you through it all today. I want to take this BS-ridden tactic and make it crystal clear for you to add to your marketing toolbox. I’ll show you how my business uses it and how to find the best way to use it for yours. In today’s podcast, I’m giving you the first episode in my series on social selling. This mega-powerful sales tactic is about more than posting pretty pictures on your Instagram fee

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

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 introducing you to the business structure we recommend in our business accelerator, PPAM. If you want to have more open time, more CIA, and you want to make a bigger impact, then PPAM is the way to go. Using this model will help you achieve 7 figure status with more time for everything. In today’s episode, part one of a two-part series, I unveil the PPAM model, what it is, how it works, and why it’s so dang effective. This is the heart of what we teach in the business accelerator,

The book industry is worth over 25 billion dollars with the average person reading 12 books per year. The average CEO? 60 books per year. With that clear-cut evidence, how is it possible that one of my clients was told “people don’t read anymore”? We are living in an age where any idiot with an opinion can share it on the internet whether it is fact-based or not. Critical thinking and discernment have gone out the window for some, which is why I’m taking a stand and writing a love letter to critical thinking. Keep Reading >> As you scale and grow your business, critical thinking is ridiculously important. So important that without it, you could end up with a business that you don’t even want or one that doesn’t reflect your values.  Today on the podcast, I’m breaking down why “people don’t read anymore” is completely false and how other idiotic statements need a dose of discernment before you believe them. I’m urging you to trust your instincts and do your research and share why we, women CEOs, must bring thi

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

The research is in: male entrepreneurs tend to be much more confident in themselves as entrepreneurs than women do. Shocking, right? The confidence gap for women entrepreneurs is something I see every day in my work and so today I’m diving into what we can do about it. When I talk about confidence, I’m not talking about general confidence or confidence in the mirror. I’m talking about business building, empire growing, and company leading confidence. Keep Reading >> I know that each of you has this confidence inside, but for various reasons, you censor and discredit yourself. Women certainly have unique obstacles to face in business, but myself and many of my clients are living proof that you can overcome them. Today on the podcast, I’m diving into why there’s a confidence gap for women entrepreneurs and what you can do to overcome it. If you want to grow your company, you need a specific type of confidence that doesn’t come with more time or experience. I’m showing you where it comes from and how to start cu

We’ve made it to the end of the mega year that is 2020 and many of you are thinking about how to make 2021 a growth year. You want to make it a departure, a powerful year, a fun year. Well, the one way to do that is by reducing complexity. Complexity creeps into your life and business in very subtly, sneaky ways. Before you know it, an onboarding process that could be done in 13 steps suddenly takes over 100. That’s what happened to me until I learned how to reduce complexity. Keep Reading >> You won’t make 2021 your biggest growth year by going faster and doing more. That frenetic, unfocused energy just amplifies inefficiency and allows complexity to move in. The thing you need to do requires patience and deliberation. Today on the podcast, I expose the master of business complexity, scarcity mindset, for what it is and delve into why so many smart businesswomen fall into this trap. Operating from a place of lack, fear, and not enough makes your business processes more complex. If you want to really streamli

Finding and cultivating relationships with profitable business partners is one of the most lucrative activities you can do in your business. And quite frankly, it's one of the best rewards. So why is it that so many women waste their time with terrible partnerships? When I see clients waste time on partnerships that aren’t fun, productive or profitable, I know what’s likely going on. Sometimes, we get lulled into partnerships not because they’re strategic, but because we don’t have the confidence to achieve the goal on our own. Keep Reading >> My guest today, Ebere Akadiri, is an expert at cultivating strategic partnerships and creating fun and effective collaborations. Not only has she run multiple successful businesses, but she has a similar goal to me, helping more female entrepreneurs become successful. This is one of the many reasons we work so well together. Today on the podcast, I’m interviewing Ebere on her journey to entrepreneurship and her advice for other women entrepreneurs looking for strategic

While the hoards have been busy wishing away 2020, arguing over the science of masks and the legitimacy of shutdowns, something truly astounding has been happening before our very eyes. People are saving. Amidst the upheaval caused by COVID-19, the decline of the airline industry and the hotel and hospitality industries, from an economic perspective, what has resulted is fascinating. Households, individuals, and companies have been putting away cash. Not for a rainy day, but for when they can trust the future again. Keep Reading >> When that trust returns and we have a renewed confidence, I believe there will be a “Pent Up Cash” Extravaganza. And we need to be prepared for it. Is your business prepared for when people start buying again? Are you even thinking about that time?  In today’s episode, I share a mini economics lesson that all business owners need to understand right now. Consumers will spend again, and the way you position yourself now matters. I’m sharing how you can prepare for the coming “Pent U

You know you are supposed to have a strong personal brand, but what does that even mean? And more importantly, how do you evolve your personal brand as you grow and as your company grows?  There is a lot of confusion and overcomplication around marketing from your personal brand or from your company brand. Which voice should you use, and how do you separate them? I’m going to address this confusion in today’s episode, and take it a level deeper to help you evolve further. Keep Reading >> There is one thing that the most elite personal brands and top influential leaders have in common. It isn’t the time they wake up or how they organize their schedules. It’s not even in the product or services they sell. It’s inside of them. On today’s podcast, I’m delving into what makes a personal brand successful and how you can nurture yours into an evolved, elite position in the market. Evolving your personal brand goes hand in hand with personal development. So, I’m sharing how powerful your personal reputation is for yo

Are you gearing up to make your 2021 business plan? If you’re a listener of this show, you probably enjoy planning to some extent, which is a really good thing. Studies show that businesses with a plan in place grow up to 30% faster than businesses that don’t.  While having a plan is great, in all my years of working with entrepreneurs I noticed that a lot of what’s in our plans is ineffective. You are putting valuable time and energy into planning tasks that don’t actually bring home the bacon. Keep Reading >> That’s why I’m letting you in on the most overlooked aspect of your 2021 planning today; the one task that will make your 2021 plans substantially more effective and profitable. We all want to hustle less and profit more in the new year, and this one task will help you do just that. Today on the podcast, I share the single most important thing you can do to ensure your 2021 plans are effective and profitable. Be the queen of your niche, command fat profits, and feel totally gorgeous in the knowledge th

I am so excited to share my conversation with my fabulous guest with you all today. She’s mouthy, she’s outspoken, and yes, she is rich. She’s one of my earliest coaching mentors who showed me how fun can be a powerful leadership and growth tool. Susan Hyatt is a master certified coach, bestselling author, podcast host, CEO of 3 companies, and a self-made millionaire. Not only is she an amazing example of what’s possible, but she is also a powerful teacher in the art of fun and pleasure, both of which help us become better leaders. Keep Reading >> When it comes to standing up for what she believes and advocating for others, Susan isn’t shy. Her bold, outspoken nature inspires millions of women to use their voices and defy societal pressures. Why focus on losing weight when we can focus on smashing the patriarchy? In our conversation, we dive into Susan’s journey from killer real estate agent to mega-successful business coach. Women are constantly being told, and have been told throughout history, that they ca
