Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 piece of advice will be game-changing for your business development. If you have the ovaries to hear this wisdom and apply it to your business in your unique way, I know so many of you will be hitting the same milestones as Bumble very soon.

• Why entrepreneurial milestones are so critical.
• The most important milestone that Whitney Wolf Herd accomplished.

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 in my business and how other successful companies grow their worlds. Remember, you aren't meant to be a lady in waiting; you're a queen.

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

• What a jewel business is and the 30-30-30 concept.
• The most important mindset shift you can make as an entrepreneur.
• How many women are conditioned to think and behave.
• The difference between running a business and running a world.
• Some examples of successful companies building worlds (including mine).
• How to get clear on your boundaries and set the laws in your world.

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 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.
