Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs [FFL 376] Insource Approval, Outsource Willpower
Bold, confident, self-assured - these are some of the many characteristics of an empowered female entrepreneur. But even these inspiring women cannot escape the inevitability of experiencing unstable and challenging times as a leader. During these turbulent times, many fall into the trap of seeking outside approval while salvaging the situation through willpower alone. Sadly, these leaders end up doing the exact opposite of the very thing they should have done in the first place, which is to insource approval and outsource willpower.
Today, I share the tool I developed that helps female entrepreneurs of all levels who are going through crises in leadership - insourcing approval and outsourcing willpower. I dive into the negative effects of outsourcing approval and the essential skills you fail to learn when you focus on letting others’ opinions be a defining factor when making decisions. I also share why insourcing willpower is not enough to create the results you want and how you can outsource it, instead, to make sure you have the bandwidth to make the decisions that matter the most.
“When we begin outsourcing approval as a general M.O. in our lives - it creates a crisis of leadership. It becomes an absence of accountability.”- Eleanor Beaton
