Many women obtain a certain level of success by following the rules in the world of business -- a world initially built for and by men. These rules have taught us that if we keep working hard and striving for our goals, we'll reach that next level of success. Some women decide to play a smaller game, neglecting their dreams and ambitions out of fear of being overworked, overwhelmed, and disrupting the work-life balance they have established. Keep Reading >> In this episode, I'm sharing how to unlearn the old rule that more success equals more work and how this rule keeps you from getting to the next level of success. I'm sharing the reasons why hard work will not take you to the next level, how to avoid overworking, and how powerhouse women manage their workload and get results. "Success is not the result of your labor. Success is the result of your leverage." Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: The wrong mindset about success The pivotal moment for Arianna Huffington regarding hard work and success When hard work is a competitive advantage and when it starts to be a disadvantage How hard work hurts your leadership How overwork impacts leaders negatively Why it is hard to be strategic when you're overworked Three Reasons Why Hard Work is Killing Your Ambition: It gets you in the door, but it won't up-level you.

The word "collaboration" usually has a positive connotation -- being productive as you work with others. In business, partnering with other people does not always have this outcome. There are fruitful collaborations that allow you and your partners to grow and there are those that leave you stressed, unproductive, and stagnant. How would you know which partnerships will help you soar? Keep Reading >> In this episode, I'm sharing why women tend to waste their time with partnerships and collaborations that go nowhere. I'm sharing how to recognize the signs of an unproductive collaboration, and where to get the information you need to develop the tools that will help you identify better partnerships in the future that will move you and your business forward. "It is okay to say 'no,' to be strategic, to bow out of over commitments." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: What collaboration means The reality about collaborating women Reasons why women enter into time-wasting partnerships Over commitment and miscalculation The significance of bringing your assets to the table Strategic collaboration vs. Anti-collaboration An example of a healthy and productive collaboration Signs of an Unproductive Collaboration: When it's going to drain your time and energy without giving you much in return When somebody invites you to collaborate, and they have no track record that proves they can do what they say they can do When somebody does exactly what you do When you have to create something new that you're not already doing Fierce Leadership Quotes: "The rule of being nice is just one rule that we, as powerhouse women leaders, need to break." "For a collaboration to be effective, you each have to be bringing assets to the table." "Your next level of success has so much more to do with what you say 'no' to than to what you say 'yes' to."

It's a common saying that rules are meant to be broken. Perhaps there is some wisdom in this quote in the sense that some people have found success by thinking out of the box, going the extra mile, and breaking old rules. This mindset is what we're going to talk about today as I share an interview with Amanda Boleyn that was originally aired on the She Did It Her Way Podcast. Keep Reading >> In this episode, I'm sharing how to create success by breaking old rules, inventing new ones, and doing it your way. I'm sharing why women struggle to replace their corporate income after taking the leap to entrepreneurship, how to get rid of limiting beliefs, the truth about confidence and how to get it, and how high income earning business women think. "There is an intentional bending of the rules in order to achieve the greater good or greater outcome in an effort to do what's right." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: The influence in my life that encouraged me to pursue professional success my way Why the majority of corporate women struggle to replace their corporate income What the Farmer Orientation means in business The elements of successful businesses How to put your focus on the money without being controlled by it Two significant parts of having predictable revenue Confidence vs. competence Key skills that successful business women have What men know that women don't about influence, money, and power The significance of tapping into informal relationships to show people that you can add value Eleanor's Words of Wisdom: If you can, find your way into smaller rooms. Leverage your time before and after the meetings. Power and influence express itself informally.
