Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

We’re diving into part two of my social selling series, this time with a brilliant client of mine, Eva Jannotta. Eva has developed a unique method of social selling that has been so successful at increasing her cash, autonomy and influence; I just knew I had to have her on to share it with all of you. Eva and I met when she attended a retreat I was hosting, and since then we’ve worked together in different capacities. A woman after my own heart, Eva is a confident contrarian committed to simplicity. She’s the founder of Simply Put Strategies which works to advance thought leadership among women. Keep Reading Social selling doesn’t just include buying ads and posting on Instagram. In fact, Eva’s method doesn’t include either. She hosts weekly roundtables where invitees get introduced to new women and dive deep into connection, thought leadership, and business support.  In today’s podcast, Eva and I talk about building connections online and going deep with our networks, not just wide. Eva shares what led her to start hosting these roundtables and how they work so that you can take inspiration from them and create your own unique social selling method. We also introduce you to the idea of social media monogamy and why doing the thing your own damn way is always the best way. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What social media monogamy is and how Eva decided it was right for her. How to choose just one social media platform for your business. How Eva uses LinkedIn to go deep with her network. What the roundtables Eva hosts are all about. How the women attending the roundtables have benefited.  The impact hosting roundtables has had on Eva personally and in her business.

Last week, I dove into the core of what we teach in our business accelerator program: PPAM. The Premium Priced Ascension Model is an ecosystem that enables you to skyrocket your CIA and your freedom. Today, we’re expanding on the information we shared in part one to give you an even better idea of how to build a successful service-based business.  When you start creating your PPAM business, there are three phases that each have their own milestones and tasks. Each phase builds off the last, so it’s important to do this work thoroughly and in order. Keep Reading >> As your business grows, so should your cash, influence, and autonomy. With the PPAM model, that is the priority. We guide you every step of the way so that you can grow a business that allows you to make money and make an impact while enjoying plenty of free time.  In today’s podcast, I’m taking the PPAM model a step further by explaining the three phases you go through to build a PPAM business. I’m walking you through the milestones of each phase and the specific tasks you need to complete to move onto the next phase. It might seem like a lot of information, but I really want to make sure you understand how taking your service-based businesses to 7 figures is completely possible and available to you. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: What the three phases of building a PPAM business are. The four foundational elements you need to nail in order to grow.

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. Keep Reading >> Today, I’m introducing you to the business structure we recommend in our business accelerator, PPAM. If you want to have more open time, more CIA, and you want to make a bigger impact, then PPAM is the way to go. Using this model will help you achieve 7 figure status with more time for everything. In today’s episode, part one of a two-part series, I unveil the PPAM model, what it is, how it works, and why it’s so dang effective. This is the heart of what we teach in the business accelerator, so I know giving you this behind-the-scenes peak is going to be super helpful.

The book industry is worth over 25 billion dollars with the average person reading 12 books per year. The average CEO? 60 books per year. With that clear-cut evidence, how is it possible that one of my clients was told “people don’t read anymore”? We are living in an age where any idiot with an opinion can share it on the internet whether it is fact-based or not. Critical thinking and discernment have gone out the window for some, which is why I’m taking a stand and writing a love letter to critical thinking. Keep Reading >> As you scale and grow your business, critical thinking is ridiculously important. So important that without it, you could end up with a business that you don’t even want or one that doesn’t reflect your values.  Today on the podcast, I’m breaking down why “people don’t read anymore” is completely false and how other idiotic statements need a dose of discernment before you believe them. I’m urging you to trust your instincts and do your research and share why we, women CEOs, must bring this level of thinking to our work because our businesses and the world clearly need it. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why the statement “people don’t read anymore” is completely idiotic. The importance and power of critical thinking. Why CEOs specifically depend on reading for context and situational awareness. How to not let well-intentioned yet misguided advice sway you from doing you.

Contrary to popular belief, growing a business is not the be-all-end-all it’s cracked up to be. Now, scaling a business, that’s a whole other story. Growth and scale are not the same thing, and using them interchangeably only creates stress and confusion.  On a basic level, scaling sets you free and growth creates more problems. I don’t know what your mission here on earth is, but I know you have one. And I know it isn’t to make more revenue so you can have more headaches. But that’s what focusing on growth will get you. Keep Reading >> When I work with women entrepreneurs, the one thing we all have in common is a greater mission. Money is great, but we’re here for more. You’re here to scale so that you can make a greater impact, change lives, change your industry, and direct your abundance into causes you care about. Today on the podcast, I’m diving into why we’ve got to stop using “scale” and “growth” interchangeably and how to decide which one you’ve been working towards. I’m sharing the 3 principles of scale so you can get more cash, more influence, and more autonomy, while also fulfilling your mission. I’m telling you exactly how to stop overworking yourself, simplify your systems, and scale with confidence. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why it drives me crazy when people use these terms interchangeably. The differences between scale and growth. The 3 things that every female entrepreneur I’ve ever met has wanted. What traditional growth models are about and why they need to evolve. The 3 principles of scale. Why scale gets you closer to fulfilling your mission than growth does.

The research is in: male entrepreneurs tend to be much more confident in themselves as entrepreneurs than women do. Shocking, right? The confidence gap for women entrepreneurs is something I see every day in my work and so today I’m diving into what we can do about it. When I talk about confidence, I’m not talking about general confidence or confidence in the mirror. I’m talking about business building, empire growing, and company leading confidence.

Today on the podcast, I’m diving into why there’s a confidence gap for women entrepreneurs and what you can do to overcome it. If you want to grow your company, you need a specific type of confidence that doesn’t come with more time or experience. I’m showing you where it comes from and how to start cultivating it right now.

We’ve made it to the end of the mega year that is 2020 and many of you are thinking about how to make 2021 a growth year. You want to make it a departure, a powerful year, a fun year. Well, the one way to do that is by reducing complexity. Complexity creeps into your life and business in very subtly, sneaky ways. Before you know it, an onboarding process that could be done in 13 steps suddenly takes over 100. That’s what happened to me until I learned how to reduce complexity. Keep Reading >> You won’t make 2021 your biggest growth year by going faster and doing more. That frenetic, unfocused energy just amplifies inefficiency and allows complexity to move in. The thing you need to do requires patience and deliberation. Today on the podcast, I expose the master of business complexity, scarcity mindset, for what it is and delve into why so many smart businesswomen fall into this trap. Operating from a place of lack, fear, and not enough makes your business processes more complex. If you want to really streamline your processes and create a clear path to growth, you must reduce complexity. And in this episode, I show you exactly how to do that. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: How I cut out 87% of the complexity in my onboarding process. Why scaling your business also includes scaling the complexity. Why it has to be you, the CEO, who makes the cuts. What contributes to business complexity in the first place. How the opposite of scarcity isn’t abundance. The importance of honoring where you’re at and being patient with yourself. Resources Mentioned: Ep #287 of The Life Coach School Podcast Love the show? Let us know!

Finding and cultivating relationships with profitable business partners is one of the most lucrative activities you can do in your business. And quite frankly, it's one of the best rewards. So why is it that so many women waste their time with terrible partnerships? When I see clients waste time on partnerships that aren’t fun, productive or profitable, I know what’s likely going on. Sometimes, we get lulled into partnerships not because they’re strategic, but because we don’t have the confidence to achieve the goal on our own. Keep Reading >> My guest today, Ebere Akadiri, is an expert at cultivating strategic partnerships and creating fun and effective collaborations. Not only has she run multiple successful businesses, but she has a similar goal to me, helping more female entrepreneurs become successful. This is one of the many reasons we work so well together. Today on the podcast, I’m interviewing Ebere on her journey to entrepreneurship and her advice for other women entrepreneurs looking for strategic partnerships. Collaboration is one of the cornerstones of female micro-economies, and women like Ebere can teach us all a thing or two about finding these partnerships and nurturing them so everyone succeeds. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why we sometimes join partnerships that aren’t successful. How leveraging partnerships can help you grow your brand. Ebere’s experience as an entrepreneur. How to maintain business continuity alongside changes in your family.  How Ebere created the Rise and Lead Conference and found partners.

While the hoards have been busy wishing away 2020, arguing over the science of masks and the legitimacy of shutdowns, something truly astounding has been happening before our very eyes. People are saving. Amidst the upheaval caused by COVID-19, the decline of the airline industry and the hotel and hospitality industries, from an economic perspective, what has resulted is fascinating. Households, individuals, and companies have been putting away cash. Not for a rainy day, but for when they can trust the future again. Keep Reading >> When that trust returns and we have a renewed confidence, I believe there will be a “Pent Up Cash” Extravaganza. And we need to be prepared for it. Is your business prepared for when people start buying again? Are you even thinking about that time?  In today’s episode, I share a mini economics lesson that all business owners need to understand right now. Consumers will spend again, and the way you position yourself now matters. I’m sharing how you can prepare for the coming “Pent Up Cash” Extravaganza and ensure your business is positioned well to receive it. It’s true that fortune favors the bold, but it also favors the prepared. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: Why consumers haven’t been spending as much during the pandemic. A mini economics lesson on the personal savings rate. The reasons why the savings rate increased.  Why confidence in the future is a critical gauge of consumer spending.  How vaccines affect the economy and our cash savings.
