Goal-setting is one of the essential processes that do you as a leader to set the course toward achieving the vision that you have for yourself and your organization. While many leaders have grand images of what they want for their businesses, many either don’t have the right goals on their list or don’t know how to set them up for success. If there is a clear link between your goals and your achievements, you want to make sure you’re spending the time, money, and effort to execute the right intentions.

Today, I’m explaining the difference between your goals and your vision and the connection between these two different concepts. I also describe each of the three distinct goal-setting processes that can help you set the right goals for your business and your career, share practical examples to illustrate each one, and point out how these methods are linked to one another.

 

Learning how to set effective goals is the core psychological skill of high performance.

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

  • Explaining the 100 One’s Concept and how to do it
  • One of the hardest questions to answer when setting goals
  • Applying the Intention, Attention, Out-tention Principle
  • Describing the Quarterly Critical Approach
  • Why people get stuck
  • How the Daily Three Method works

 

Advice for Fierce Feminine Leaders:

  • Read your 100 Ones as often as possible.
  • Don’t just think about the business you’re in, but also nurture the business you’re becoming.
  • The most significant successes happen when you link your daily activities to your Quarterly Critical goals.

Have you ever spent time, energy, and passion to create a new piece of content, marketing material, or strategy only to find someone else has copied your work and promoted it as their own? Discovering someone else has copied you can be frustrating! But many people believe the misconception that copying is flattering - that copying someone else's work or ideas is a common occurrence throughout the business world.

 

The “Rob and Duplicate” concept can significantly impact the way others perceive you, your company, and your brand. It can be detrimental to the impact you want to make in the world and can significantly tarnish your reputation.

 

On today’s episode, I explain the three reasons why people may copy your work, what you can do if you catch yourself copying someone else’s ideas, and how to protect yourself against copycats. I explain the difference between copying and modeling and how you can identify when you are copying someone else or simply modeling their process or idea. I also share how I handled a copycat situation last year when I realized my work was being copied by someone else.

 

“If you are truly being uniquely you - if you are truly on a mission to become preeminent in your space - you cannot be preeminent and copy other people.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

 

  • The benefits and drawbacks of creating new things based on your ideas and knowledge.
  • The primary reason high-performers copy others.
  • How “Robbing and Duplicating” can hurt your business or career.
  • How copying others can impact your reputation.
  • My experience with dealing with copycats.
  • The importance of identifying when you are copying someone else.
  • The importance of identifying why you are copying someone.
  • The difference between copying and modeling.
  • How to prevent copying other people’s work or ideas.
  • The importance of quickly moving on new ideas - instead of procrastinating.

 

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

 

  • “When you copy someone else, you will always be second-class.” - Eleanor Beaton
  • “When you are being the best, truest version of yourself; when you are being most authentic and bold, it is impossible for people to copy you.” - Eleanor Beaton
  • “Anybody who creates things - the risk of doing that is that it could be copied. The benefit is that you get to have the impact that you are here to make.” - Eleanor Beaton

  1. Focus on the audience.
  2. Identify what success looks like in every situation.
  3. Think about the story you need to tell that links the audience to that success.

 

 

Fierce Leadership Quotes:

 

  • “I think that if you’ve had a really eclectic background and you’re always jumping in to work with people who have very different backgrounds from you, it means that you’re actually coming to better solutions and you’re thinking about things differently. And I think it shakes things up in a really positive, healthy way.” - Gina Jeneroux
  • “Curiosity helps you be a little bit more grounded and a little bit more zen about the things that will work out phenomenally and the things that won’t.” - Gina Jeneroux
  • “It’s not just about learning for their job or learning for their career, but even encouraging them to learn for their passions because I think passion is really critical in how you’re able to engage with people.” - Gina Jeneroux

It’s easy to get caught up in daily tasks and neglect the goals we have set for ourselves. Sometimes fear or uncertainty cause us to procrastinate, and we need to shift our mindset to stay on track. Sometimes we lack the accountability we need to meet our goals. Whatever the reason we lose focus, there are strategies we can implement to realign ourselves with our goals and retrain our focus on the important work instead of the busy work.

In today’s episode, I share five strategies I have consistently used to stay focused on my goals. I explain how I combine mindset work with organization to achieve the best results. I describe the benefits of continuous learning and how having a coach for accountability has helped propel my business forward. I also explain how vital it is to build a team who you can outsource your decisions to preserve your willpower.

 

“If you set concrete goals and never look at them again, your chances and the likelihood of you reaching those goals goes down.” - Eleanor Beaton

  • Strategies to help you stay focused and on track.
  • The importance of reviewing your goals on a regular basis.
  • My system for setting, reviewing, and completing goals.
  • Why I prioritize internally generated deadlines over externally generated deadlines.
  • Why I recommend starting a regular meditation practice.
  • The importance of building both a professional and personal team.
  • What it means to outsource your willpower.
  • The importance of continuing to read and learn.
  • The benefits of having a coach.

 

5 Strategies to Stay Focused:

  1. Set yearly goals and review them two to three times a week.
  2. Meditate.
  3. Build a team.
  4. Reading and learning.
  5. Work with a coach.

When an opportunity comes knocking on your door what do you do? Do you weigh the pros and cons of accepting that new position or working on that new project? Or do you immediately say ‘Sure, I’ll try that!’ My guest today has worked her way up through the leadership ranks throughout her career by never turning down a challenge. Christine Nigro, Vice-Chairwoman of AXA Advisors, LLC and Managing Director for AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company based in New York, joins me today to give you powerful advice on climbing the leadership ladder toward career success.

She shares her story about how she never turned down an opportunity, even when she knew she didn’t check all of the qualification boxes to complete a new project or accept a new job – and in doing so, she explains how her “never say no to a challenge” motto has helped her advance her career far beyond the norm. She shares practical advice on what you can do to help grow your networking team, find people willing to sponsor and vouch for your skills, as well as how to speak up in a board room meeting when you don’t agree with something being said without coming off too aggressively to your co-workers and peers.

“When presented with an opportunity to learn something, don’t worry about where it will take you in your career. Just take the opportunity.” – Christine Nigro

 

Here’s a Breakdown of Today’s Show:

  • Christine’s journey to success – how she became an expert in running local businesses for large international companies.
  • Why she believes it’s important for women to be willing to take risks.
  • How asking continually asking questions helped her advance her career.
  • Why she believes women should focus on things they are good at.
  • Why she believes it’s important to identify the people who can help you.
  • What role has sponsors played in her career and how has she found them.
  • How critical was it for her to be in an operational role and why we don’t see more women accepting these roles?

 

Christine’s 3 Practical Tips for Being Assertive Without Being Aggressive:

  1. State your concern in the form of a question.
  2. Be willing to “wear some labels.”
  3. Allow people to have some of the culture they grew up with.

 

Christine’s Top 3 Pieces of Advice:

  1. You really have to like what you are doing.
  2. Let your natural competitiveness out and allow it to be seen by others.
  3. Find the fun in everything you do.

Did you know, there is a single strategy that you can use to help you take quantum leaps in your business and career?

This single strategy has helped one entrepreneurs that I know increase her yearly sales by as much as $75,000. This same strategy is what has helped position our previous podcast guest, Charles Chang, as an expert in his field and helped significantly boost his company’s growth in a very short period of time.

But… this strategy takes courage. It takes guts. Ladies, it takes a serious pair of ovaries!

I’m talking about thought-leadership and preeminence.

So, how do you position yourself as a preeminent thought-leader in your industry, your business, or your career?

On today’s episode, I want to share with you the exact strategy that I have taught several of my clients – as well as one that I have used myself – to position themselves as a preeminent thought leader in their niche, their industry, and their specific area of expertise.

So, grab your cup of coffee or tea, sit back and relax, and let’s dive right in!

 

Positioning yourself as a preeminent thought-leader can help you take quantum leaps in your business and career – Eleanor Beaton

 

Here’s a Breakdown of Today’s Show:

  • Preeminence is positioning yourself as a thought-leader in your specific area of expertise.
  • It can help you create quantum leaps of you, whether you’re an entrepreneur or working within an organization and advancing your career
  • It’s about understanding that when you own, value, and share what you know and approach your work with the mindset that you’re in it to serve, educate, and contribute – you are without competition.
  • There are several key components to preeminence – the first, and most challenging one, is having the courage.
  • There are two big challenges to the preeminence strategy
  • There are many tactics you can use to position yourself into a preeminence position

 

Key Components to Preeminence:

  • Having the courage
  • Really knowing your stuff
  • Doing the inner work to give yourself permission and be a believable expert in your field
  • Creating a platform that allows you to demonstrate your expertise
  • Educate, serve, and show up as a person of intense value for your people or organization
