People usually fall in one of two camps on direct sales companies - the camp that absolutely loves the business model, and the camp that loathes it and wants nothing to do with it.

But the thing is that direct sales is a great entry point for people who want to start their entrepreneur journey AND the top performers only got there through leveraging their own sales, marketing and leadership skills.

Our guest, Makeda Daley, is a top 7-figure producer 26 times over, and shares key strategies to build a business through automation and leadership.

Eleanor Beaton has been touted as “One of the foremost women’s leadership experts in North America today.” And she shares that leadership doesn't get far until we get clear on our commitment. What are you committed to?

We often answer that question with a vision, an aspirational result. But if you really think about it, we know what we are committed to by the results we keep producing. Sometimes that's awesome feedback - sometimes it's a call to the carpet. 

In this episode, Eleanor shares her grit story defining commitment, how getting clear on her commitment informed her company re-brand and focus, what a S.A.F.I. is (you may be one and not even know it!), and the lifetime companions of commitment - constraint and conviction.

Masculine energy isn't about being "manly" or knowing how to be a man. Likewise, feminine energy isn't about being "womanly" or being a good woman. These are just as much part of every human being (male and female alike) as having a right and left brain hemisphere. 

The key is to know when to use what energy, for how long and with what intensity. That's what we are talking about in this episode when we discuss balancing masculine and feminine energy.

Dr. Monikah asserts how the human life cycle begins (from conception to infancy to childhood and adolescence for a human child) parallels the start up and growth phase of the business. 

In this episode we also share tools to support you in shifting from masculine to feminine energy and vice versa so that you rock every domain of your life and business. Get equipped!
