Social media is flooded with content about scaling to seven figures. However, without taking the time to articulate why scaling to seven figures is a meaningful metric, there’s a danger of the million-dollar mark becoming the woman entrepreneur’s version of 36/24/36 (the ideal bust to waist to hips ratio). Join Eleanor this week as she explores why seven figures in revenue is a worthy goal for women entrepreneurs to consider pursuing.

In this replay episode, we’re digging into a topic that not only cannot be ignored, but one that honestly drives me absolutely crazy. Why? It’s the difference between setting yourself free versus producing more headaches for yourself as an entrepreneur.

 

The terms “growth” and “scale” are often used interchangeably in the business world, but here’s the central idea: they sure as hell aren’t the same thing. Not establishing the difference between these two terms is contributing to the confusion and stress you’re experiencing, and I know that’s not what you’re after.

This is a rampant problem, especially for women entrepreneurs and leaders who all have a greater mission in common. Cash is great, but we want more than that. We want influence, autonomy, and to make an impact. To do that, you need a business that’s simple to run and that doesn’t require all your life force to grow it.

 

Tune in this week to discover the difference between “growth” and “scaling,” and why this distinction matters. You’ll learn how this will reveal what truly matters and what will produce results for your company, and the principles of scaling to begin implementing so you can move forward with intention.

 

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

 

  • The difference between growth and scaling.
  • An example from my life of how powerful it is to understand the difference.
  • 3 things every woman entrepreneur wants in business.
  • Why focusing on growth models in your company is leaving you feeling conflicted.

When I was running my consulting business and first started my coaching practice, each one of my clients had specific, varying needs. For this reason, every proposal or solution I offered was custom-tailored to fit them like a glove. They always got exactly what they needed to solve their specific problems, but there’s just one problem with this approach.

 

When you create bespoke, custom-built services, you morph what you offer around what your client needs. This makes marketing and selling super easy. However, what isn’t easy is getting back the hours you spend essentially reinventing the wheel with each and every client, which not only creates so much complexity in your business, but also sucks all your time and energy.

For those of you who want to stop being the linchpin in your company the way you are now so you can finally create more time and freedom, the solution here is a scalable offer. At Safi Media, we believe in the power of a scalable offer that increases your income without having to increase your effort, but how do you do that?

 

In this episode, I’m first guiding you through how to create a scalable offer. You’ll discover why marketing and selling becomes more challenging when you make this shift in approach, and therefore, how to create demand for the solution you’re now offering.

 

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

 

  • What a scalable offer means, and how to create one.
  • 3 secrets to building the skill of creating demand.
  • The pros and cons of creating bespoke consulting or services for every single one of your clients.
  • What the pretzel approach means, and why you don’t need to create demand when you use it.
  • Why creating demand is a skill that requires a profound shift in your approach.
  • How to be effective in creating demand around scalable offers.

So often in the work I do with my clients, I see women leaders doing highly valuable, complex work selling packaged services, coaching products, or intellectual property. However, when the market wants us to provide customizable, made-to-order contracts and offerings, there’s a huge labor and cognitive strain involved.

 

Go back 10 years in my business and you’ll see that everything I did was customized. This meant that I was stuck at $250K a year at an absolute maximum. The truth is you can choose to hustle in this way, but like me, you’ll experience an earning ceiling that seems impossible to break through, and not only that, you’ll be intellectually exhausted.

If you’ve been experiencing a revenue plateau, it might be time to audit the complexity in your business and release it.

And on this episode, I’m guiding you through the steps to creating exactly this.

 

Join me this week to discover how to use the $500K Offer to make the second half of 2022 more lucrative while experiencing more freedom. I’m showing you why this is the key to making your company scalable, and how to start driving constructive change so you can take your business from where it currently is to where you want to go.

As women founders and leaders, we talk often about making money, and lots of it. But are we using the money we make to create the kinds of changes that we want to see in the world? I like to say that money is power, but only if you make it so.

And this week, I have someone who is a living example of what’s possible when you’re intentional about how you generate wealth and use your money to advance the causes you believe in.

In this day and age where there’s a massive demand for constant production of content and having face time with your people, you’re not alone if your company’s marketing feels exhausting and depleting. Ecosystem marketing is the key to creating a growth model that feels nourishing and that is truly sustainable for the long term, and Pamela is walking us through it in this episode.

Are you being the kind of founder and leader that a seven-figure company truly requires? Is your relationship with your business mature enough to continue taking it to new heights?

 

If you think about your human relationships, especially with children if you have them, you’ll understand how your relationship with them has to evolve. Without the level of maturity that you bring to the table, their growth and development gets stymied. And the same is true for your relationship with your business.

What I’m offering to you this week is that you don’t own your business as much as you partner with it. The cash, influence, and autonomy you want to create through your business requires a mature partnership, and what I see too often in my work is women founders having an immature relationship with their company, which makes producing powerful results impossible.

 

Tune in to hear how a mature partnership with your business might be the missing piece right now. I’m showing you how we’re using the rise of anti-hustle culture as an excuse to not show up as a mature leader, the reality of the entrepreneurial experience, and the 3 keys to developing a mature relationship with your business as a seven-figure founder.

 

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

  • The reality of the entrepreneurial experience and what it takes to grow a company.

  • The most important emotional state for showing up as a high-functioning founder and leader.
  • 3 keys to creating a mature relationship with your business as a seven-figure founder.
  • What makes a partnership truly work.
