Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

Before the invention of the Internet, advertisements and commercials played a crucial role in the existence and survival of commercial products, professional services, and network companies. Today, advertisements are still as valuable as they were in the past as evidenced by their ever-enduring presence on different media channels such as CNN, The New York Times, and MGM - big companies who could have thought of other ways to grow financially but still chose to include advertising as part of their marketing plan.

As a fierce feminine leader, is "good enough" really good enough? You may think things are going okay, but deep inside you feel that there's more you can do, more impact you can make, and more significance you can introduce to your clients as well as your industry. If you are currently struggling with the "good enough" plateau in your career, take heed and be motivated to move beyond your comfort zone.

Keep Reading >>

Today, I share why making something exciting happen is the cornerstone strategy that allows powerful women like you to move from the "good enough" plateau to making a tremendous impact in your career, your business, and your industry. I discuss how meeting plateaus offer fantastic opportunities as well as what moving from success to significance really entails. I also share ways to strategically command attention as well as the components that you need for your ideas and message to be seen and heard.

"Make something exciting happen. Take a risk. That is the path that takes you from a swampy plateau where excellence goes to die and propels you into the path of greatness." - Eleanor Beaton

• "If you're struggling to be known, to get your ideas out there, stop thinking about them with the same old, boring thinking that's keeping you where you are right now."

"Practice makes perfect." We often hear parents say this to their children who are training in sports, learning a new skill, or taking lessons in the arts. We see the value of the process - patience, discipline, and hard work - that needs to be instilled in our children, but we fail to see that this same set of values also apply to us if we desire to be high-performers in our industry.

On this episode, I share what decades of research says about high-performers as well as why it is crucial to value the process and not just the results. I also discuss the different types of growth mindsets that tremendously impact not only the way you see processes and outcomes but also the way you see yourself and progress as a high-performing leader.

"High performers are made, not born." - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• What parents usually say to their children who are pursuing a new endeavor
• Walking the talk about instant gratification
• Examples of a fixed mindset approach to growth
• What I have consistently seen from high-working leaders

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• "For many ambitious, goal-oriented adults, the idea of practice kind of floats right out of our heads." - Eleanor Beaton
• "We sometimes think that we should be great at something right away. We think that we need to get results right away and we're preaching to our kids about how instant gratification is wrong and bad, but we want instant gratification." - Eleanor Beaton
• "Whatever you're doing, whatever goals you're going after - yes, set them, have them. But devote yourself to a love of the process, not an attachment to the results." - Eleanor Beaton

Confident. Credible. Accurate. These are some of the traits that we often look for in a remarkable speaker, not to mention well-paid one. We all have our standard and opinion about what makes a good speaker that deserves our time, applause, and hard-earned money. With all the criteria and different viewpoints about this matter, what does it really take to be a well-paid keynote speaker?

Keep Reading >>

Today, I explain the difference between a paid keynote speaker and a free one. I discuss the impact of having general opinions and points of view versus specific ones, how to reinforce the value that you bring to your industry as well as the significance of being intentional in accurately representing yourself. I also share strategies on how to effectively transition from being a free speaker to a paid one and explain the significance of positioning yourself preeminently to establish credibility and attract great speaking opportunities.

"The difference between a paid speaker and a free speaker - it's actually not a difference at all. It's a decision." - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• The benefits of being a paid speaker.
• How speaking for free can help you at the beginning of your business journey.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• "The first thing you need to do is make the decision that you are a well-paid keynote speaker. That decision has to start with you. The market isn't going to tell you. You need to own that." - Eleanor Beaton
• "Your message is so clear; you are so strong in what you stand for that that enables you to represent something distinct and powerful in the mind of somebody else." - Eleanor Beaton
• "The results that you've helped people achieve, the wins that you've been part of, the awards that you have won - these are more important than certifications." - Eleanor Beaton

She also shares some inspiring stories of her former business ventures as a very young entrepreneur and how she invented an alternative to the classic entrepreneurial journey.

Being a fierce female leader in your industry takes a lot of courage and strength. With this comes great responsibility and the high possibility to be overwhelmed with the constant pressure and what seems to be a list of never-ending tasks. To make things worse, feeling overwhelmed usually comes at a bad time -- when there's more work on your plate than you usually have.

On this episode, I share an effective tool to conquer overwhelm. I share a simple tactic my clients and I use to cope with overwhelm and explain how to stay productive despite the number of things you want to accomplish. I also share how long you can take a necessary "pause" as your company's visionary as you discipline yourself to look at the smaller yet attainable tasks on your list.

"You need to have discipline and talk to yourself: 'I understand that there's a lot on my plate. And for right now, I am focusing on THIS one thing.'" - Eleanor Beaton

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

• Why you need to stop looking at the big picture when feeling overwhelmed.
• How long should you give yourself permission to conquer overwhelm?
• The tasks you should focus and work on when feeling overwhelmed.
• Trying to do too many things at once versus breaking things down into ones you can fulfill.

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

• "It's normal to feel overwhelmed." - Eleanor Beaton
• "It can be normal at that time for self-doubt to creep in." - Eleanor Beaton
• "Usually where you're trying to do too many things at once, you're not advancing anything." - Eleanor Beaton
