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.

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.

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.

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.
  • The most important ingredients in a successful partnership.

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.

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.
  • How to position yourself for growth in 2021.

You know you are supposed to have a strong personal brand, but what does that even mean? And more importantly, how do you evolve your personal brand as you grow and as your company grows? 

There is a lot of confusion and overcomplication around marketing from your personal brand or from your company brand. Which voice should you use, and how do you separate them? I’m going to address this confusion in today’s episode, and take it a level deeper to help you evolve further.

There is one thing that the most elite personal brands and top influential leaders have in common. It isn’t the time they wake up or how they organize their schedules. It’s not even in the product or services they sell. It’s inside of them.

On today’s podcast, I’m delving into what makes a personal brand successful and how you can nurture yours into an evolved, elite position in the market. Evolving your personal brand goes hand in hand with personal development. So, I’m sharing how powerful your personal reputation is for your company’s success, some ways to nurture your eccentricities, and how you can achieve the highest level of a personal brand.

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

  • What a personal brand is and how it evolves over time.
  • One of the foundational principles of personal development that you need to know.
  • Where we go after the discovery phase of personal branding.
  • The highest evolution of a personal brand.
  • Some examples of notoriously eccentric leaders.
  • Some things I want you to consider and nurture as you evolve.

Are you gearing up to make your 2021 business plan? If you’re a listener of this show, you probably enjoy planning to some extent, which is a really good thing. Studies show that businesses with a plan in place grow up to 30% faster than businesses that don’t.
