Having that winning mentality, a positive attitude, and working with the right people are some of the common tips in achieving the goal of being an award-winning entrepreneur.

It is unquestionable that persistence and hard work are some of the characteristics that make an exceptional and bold leader. While having these characteristics can be beneficial, these same traits can also be the very weaknesses that prevent you from taking your business to the next level. Your passion can turn into overscheduling and overcommitment that lead to the number one problem most female entrepreneurs face today - lack of focus.

I also share the three paths you can choose when faced with overwhelm as well as the very thing you need to do if you want to double your income this year. "When you get to that point when you are fed up, and you say, 'No more! Never again! Something has to change!' that's where the focus is going to come in." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Defining the concept Tyranny of Choice and how this affects your growth as a leader and entrepreneur Characteristics of a high-performing leader The three courses of action to choose from when faced with opportunities, choices, and overwhelm Why focus is a vital player if you want to build an empire Why your strength can also be your weakness The elements that contribute to the Fed Up Factor How to know when you've reached your Fed Up Factor How to get to your Fed Up Factor sooner How your strength becomes your weakness The desires that overcommitment try to fulfill - but fail to do so Why you need to train yourself to make deep cuts when it comes to setting priorities in your business Fierce Leadership Quotes: "If you're going to build something beautiful, and lucrative, and nourishing for you and your family, you're going to have to bring some focus." - Eleanor Beaton "Your strength is your weakness." - Eleanor Beaton "When you start to reduce, refine and hone, that takes courage because that means you're stepping into a new identity, a new level of leadership where you value your time and your impact.

Progress requires effort. In business, however, continuous improvement does not necessarily equal to continuous exhaustion. Doing everything within your power is a great way to try to achieve that eight-figure revenue but knowing what to do and what not to do will make a tremendous impact on your financial gains. More importantly, it impacts the future that you and your family can have as you reach your dream of having a lifestyle business. Keep Reading >> On this episode, I discuss the five key differences between a six-figure entrepreneur and an eight-figure entrepreneur. I explain the difference between building an empire and being imprisoned by your business as well as some actionable insights from conversations that happen around the eight-figure entrepreneur table. I also share the benefits of understanding how eight-figure entrepreneurs build and grow their business as well as how you can up your game and ensure that the business you're building is creating a financial fortress for you and your family. "Make sure that the message you're bringing to the market is as clear, focused, and powerful as it needs to be - this is valuable, productive work that will continuously pay off in spades." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Discussions with eight-figure women entrepreneurs Why eight-figure entrepreneurs iterate continuously How Serena Williams is an excellent example of a woman who iterates continuously The key to avoiding exhausting yourself How to create a focused strategy and the significance of sticking to it The flip side of highly intelligent people who run six-figure businesses A core shift you need to make if you're coming out of the corporate world Why impatience will never pay your bills, never make you rich, and never allow you to have the impact you're capable of having Why urgency is a critical component to success The revenue required to call your business a "lifestyle business" What happens if you are not careful about cultivating a positive mindset The importance of being crystal clear about your messaging Fierce Leadership Quotes: "You may not right now, from where you're standing, even fathom that you could ever build a $10 Million business. That's fine. Act like a $10 Million entrepreneur." - Eleanor Beaton "Eight-figure entrepreneurs scan the horizon. They're checking out the potential threats and things that could come up at them. They put in place contingency plans but they expect positive outcomes." - Eleanor Beaton "That expectation of things working out is so critical and that's what makes the work so sustainable." - Eleanor Beaton Join Me for Your Million Dollar Message Retreat Are you ready to outsell and out position your competition this year?

Do you ever wonder about the underlying factors that contribute to your promoting someone? Or what leads you to trust another colleague more than another?

I humbly share how I showed unconscious bias in the past as an example of how we have these biases no matter how hard we train to stay away from them.

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 Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Why development conversations are one of my most favorite things to talk about The central strategy I give entrepreneurs who are struggling to be seen and known How to strategically command attention How to transition your revenue from low six figures to seven figures The central challenge that so many fierce women entrepreneurs are having The relevance of acknowledging the starting point of the problem The most effective way to move past the first step of recognizing the root of the problem The sign that it's time to make something exciting happen How I created something exciting that helped establish myself in the marketplace Examples of how to strategically command attention How Beyoncé made something exciting happen that set her apart from the pack Fierce Leadership Quotes: "If you want to have a deeper impact, you need to become well-versed in the art of strategically commanding attention." "When you're making something exciting happen, what you're actually doing is creating a platform - it's like you're setting the table and now you've got something for people to come and join." "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 Join the Exclusive Incubator Program!
