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.

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. 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.

Something I absolutely love is when people I respect share a behind-the-scenes look into their companies. It can be incredibly inspiring and motivating to see what other female founders are accomplishing, so I hope that sharing my half year in review will do the same for you.

The first half of 2021 saw 18 amazing accomplishments produced by myself and my team. I entered the year with the intention of staying in a state of "relaxed confidence" and I'm happy to report that I maintained that. But even if your year didn't start like that, you still have time to make a shift and finish the year with relaxed confidence too.

Whether you realize it or not, there are two major trends that are about to seriously impact your business. Most of the results in your business are under your ownership, but things that happen in your market and in the world are not. And these two things are not under your control.

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.
• What I see happens for my clients who don't apply 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.
