[FFL 389] Commitment Exposure

How do you feel when it comes to commitment and risk? Often, the most powerful decisive actions we take come in the face of vulnerability, uncertainty, and potential rejection. Bold courses of action often come at a cost and require opening yourself up. The way we navigate risk says a lot about who we are and our ability to realize our greatest dreams. Avoiding the inevitable risks that come with making baller moves leads many people not to set goals at all, which can be very problematic. Keep Reading >> Today, I define commitment exposure and share ways to approach this concept as you work towards making a baller move and bringing your desired results to fruition. I highlight the tendencies people tend to have related to commitment exposure, including over investing in worst-case scenarios and overstating difficulty, and the importance of shifting your mindset. I also share the importance of being transparent with your team when it comes to your goals, and how observing your relationship with commitment can help you get to the heart of your leadership growth potential.       “When we commit to our greatest dreams, it typically doesn’t come without a cost or a sacrifice.” - Eleanor Beaton       Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:   What commitment exposure is, why it matters, and how to approach it How the vulnerability of dating and romance relate to commitment exposure How commitment relates to risk and rejection, and when you may be opening yourself up to commitment exposure Examples of commitment exposure in leadership decision-making What lies in the gap between committing to results and achieving these goals Why entrepreneurs need to understand commitment exposure Three common yet ineffective ways people tend to deal with commitment exposure The ineffectiveness of overinvesting in worst-case scenarios, and how worst-case scenarios tend to measure up against reality How overstating hardship can scare you away from your goals, and the importance of perspective and big picture thinking The excuses people create for not setting goals, and why these reasons are faulty How false facts relate to commitment exposure The importance of setting goals without attaching your worth to the outcome Why we need to examine our relationship to our goals How entrepreneurship and personal development are related     Resources Mentioned: Atomic Habits by James Clear Marie Forleo Episode 354 Baller Moves Episode 386 How to Make Decisions Like a 7 Figure CEO Episode 387 False Facts Episode 388 WHO Powered Growth The Messaging Lab Radical Conviction         Love the show?

[FFL 387} False Facts

There is a 7-figure CEO inside of you. Are you ready to unleash her? The truth of being an entrepreneur or business leader is that your decisions impact and influence those around you. In taking decisive action towards your business goals, it is essential to evaluate whether or not the information in which you are basing your decisions is accurate and well-informed, rather than muddled with assumptions and biases. Keep Reading >> Today, I share the importance of differentiating between real facts and false facts so that you can improve your decision-making abilities, make baller moves, and find clarity about the actual value of your business. I provide tough love on how your perception of reality can be detrimental to your sales and the future of your business. I also highlight five steps you can implement today to evaluate whether you are making grounded judgments or falling into the trap of believing false facts.       “False facts don’t stand up when you really shake them. You cannot ascend to the top of the tree when you are trying to scale with false facts.”- Eleanor Beaton       Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:   How false facts have the potential to derail your leadership and why real facts are necessary to your baller move How to strategically uplevel your business and overcome plateaus The hallmark characteristic of great entrepreneurial leaders The problem with reporting insights and observations like they are “the news” Why you need a system for separating false facts from real facts and why it is essential to check the evidence through accurate data Whether or not people’s feedback is indicative of your brand’s value What your sales process needs to include, beyond an emailed proposal The difference between a customer evaluating a price point and having the resources to afford a service How to know whether or not something is a “million-dollar decision” The importance of learning to separate beliefs from facts Examples of false facts and why it is crucial to be vigilant with identifying them A multi-step process to access real facts and stop falling into the trap of false facts How journaling can play a role in breaking down the situation at hand and identifying both muddled perceptions and real facts When and how constructive thinking happens and why it matters to our decision-making How coaching can help to challenge you, your business and your decision-making abilities     5 Step Process to Determine Real Facts vs False Facts:   Journal about the problem for one to two pages Change your environment. Do something to cleanse/step back. Highlight every belief and every fact in your writing. Go back and ask yourself… Is this true? What hard evidence do I have that this is true? What is the opposite of this ‘fact?’ What hard evidence do I have that the opposite is true? What is opening up for me right now?

It is time to take bold, decisive action towards your business goals and look at the significant factors that will set the trajectory for your business’s future.

[FFL 384] Aim Conflation

The missions and visions we develop for our businesses matter. Developing a clear “why” can provide perspective and depth to a brand and provide momentum and clarity to our higher purpose in life. But what can happen if we are too hyperfocused on our mission without the proper structures and processes to back it up? Keep Reading >> Today, I share what aim conflation is and how it can arise within mission-driven businesses if leaders do not prioritize proper organizational structures and strategies first and foremost.

[FFL 383] 5 Ways Women Entrepreneurs Abdicate Power

“What do you think of this idea?” Often in business, we as leaders ask our team for input on our proudest ideas before we have looked in the mirror and asked ourselves the very same question. By prioritizing “collaboration” over clarity, we lose focus on our vision and goals. This tendency is just one of the many ways that we, as female entrepreneurs, abdicate our power and prevent the company we birthed from becoming the brand of our dreams. Keep Reading >> Today, I share five specific ways that female entrepreneurs commonly abdicate their leadership power and examples of what this looks like in action. I discuss how limiting beliefs surrounding topics such as money, commitments, and whether to engage with the details can impact your business as well as how you can take your power back. I also provide insight into why it is crucial to make your intentions explicit so you can act in alignment with your vision and your word and lead from a place of clarity and purpose.       “The first way that we stop abdicating power is by allowing ourselves to become aware.”- Eleanor Beaton       Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:   The relationship that female leaders typically have to power Why owning your power is essential in leading a business with impact Five common ways that women abdicate power in their lives and work The effect that influential female leaders have had in my own life Why the abdication of power is so pervasive among women and how gender norms play a role Why it is so important to normalize the conversation surrounding women and power What the abdication of power looks like in action Specific examples of intentional and default outcomes How women forfeit power under the guise of collaboration and/or consultation The importance of knowing your vision first and foremost to create the company you love Why asking for input from your team prematurely can be detrimental Communications tools you can implement to reframe conversations and reclaim your power The importance of setting effective business goals and believing in your ability to achieve them How your money mindset can drastically impact your business performance How a weekly money meeting can help you build a better relationship with it The relationship between your word and your power and how neglecting this can lead to overcommitment and burnout How intentionality can lead to more impactful business conversations Why you cannot avoid the discomfort of details as a leader     Join the Fierce Community!
