Following a discussion from Episode 29 with best-selling author, Linda Davies, today I would like to dive a little deeper into the "women and risks" topic and talk about mitigating risks. Ladies, do you know what your $10,000 per hour tasks are? Out of everything that you have to do each and every day to build and maintain your businesses or your career, what are some of the most valuable tasks that you need to complete each day to continually advance in your career or industry? Keep Reading >> We all have them. The problem often resides in identifying those top value tasks that are imperative to developing our careers, growing our businesses, or stepping into our roles as Fierce Feminine Leaders. So, today I am going to share with you some examples of my $20, $100, $1,000, and $10,000 tasks that are relevant to my business and explain why each of these tasks provide different levels of importance and urgency throughout my company's growth. Here's a Breakdown of Today's Show: How identifying your $10k tasks can help you mitigate risks in your business, organization, or career. What are $10k tasks and why you should focus more on these tasks than the $20 or $100 ones? What does it mean to "close the loop?" "Don't leave a meeting with a foggy idea on how you will follow-up with that person. Close the loop." Here's a Few Examples of My $20 Tasks: Scheduling appointments with clients Bookkeeping Filing papers Going to the Post Office Creating and scheduling Social Media posts Here's a Few Examples of My $100 Tasks: Creating content, images, & uploading videos to my YouTube channel, as well as making sure each video is tagged correctly. Creating spreadsheets Creating and distributing posters Anything under $200 tasks are in the red. These tasks cost a business or organization money with no direct link to a company's revenue." – Eleanor Beaton Here's a Few Examples of My $10,000 Tasks: Strategic planning Copywriting, creating advertising and marketing campaigns Developing professional relationships Having sales conversations Public speaking engagements "$10k tasks are tasks that are at the top of the value chain. They are tasks that have a direct impact on a company's return on investment." – Eleanor Beaton My Challenge to You: Determine what your $10k tasks are for your business or career. What are the tasks that you handle each and every day that significantly impact your company's revenue? Although smaller tasks do play a significant role in an organization's survival, top value tasks – the $10k tasks – have a direct link to your company's growth and revenue. These tasks should be made a high priority for your organization. Subscribe & Review the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast for a Chance to Win This Month's Contest!

This generation is famous for its efforts in advocating for women and promoting women empowerment. Ideally, advocating for women means they are being encouraged to speak up, make their voice heard, and stand their ground. With the trending story about the Canadian actress Kim Cattrall being the sole reason for the cancellation of the filming of the third Sex and the City movie, the idealism about supporting and advancing women's role in society, especially their careers, is easier said than done. Keep Reading >> Today, I'm going to share an example of the contradiction of this notion about supporting women's ambitions through the story of the Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall. I'm going to share the efforts she made to reach out, salvage the film, and at the same time pursue what's best for her. I also provide advice on how you can respond to criticism for advancing what you think is best for you, your business, or your career. Surround yourself with people who support your ambition, who can hold space for not just who you've been and not just who you are, but for who you are becoming. Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Women's conflicting feelings about other women's ambition What others say about Kim Cattrall killing the third Sex and the City movie Explaining the contradiction in Kim Cattrall's situation What happens when women get visible Strategies When Dealing with Criticism: Keep going. If others are unhappy because of your career growth or the decisions you make, say to yourself, "They're just going to have to feel that way." Release your attachment to people who undermine you and your ambition. Find a new judging jury. Resources Mentioned: Lainey Gossip Website Sex and the City Find Your Voice. Change Your World!
