The 4-Part Revenue System That Scales to $2M+
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
If you’re generating strong revenue but still feel one bad month away from panic, the issue isn’t how much money you’re making - it’s the absence of a revenue system. Revenue is an outcome, not an asset, and when a business lacks infrastructure, the founder becomes the system, absorbing all the volatility, pressure, and risk. This week, Eleanor explains why chasing sales without building structure leads to fragility, no matter how impressive the topline numbers look. Tune in as Eleanor breaks down the four-part revenue system every business needs before it can reliably...

Where Business Stability Actually Comes From (and Why It’s Often Misunderstood) feat. JULIA TAYLOR
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
You can be running a successful business and still feel exposed. Revenue is coming in, clients are smart, demand is real, and yet, cash flow feels tighter than it should, decisions feel heavier than expected, and the business itself feels fragile. In this conversation, Eleanor is joined by Julia Taylor, CEO and founder of GeekPack, a company that operates at the intersection of entrepreneurship and institutions. This episode names a reality many women business owners experience but rarely have language for: sometimes the problem isn’t how well you’re working, it’s where your...

Why So Many Successful Women Say “I Hate Selling”
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
“I hate selling.” If you've ever thought this, you're not alone. But here's what's surprising: Eleanor hears this most often from women who are already successful - women with strong reputations, loyal clients, and thriving referral networks. If hating sales were simply about fear or lack of confidence, wouldn't it get easier as you became more established? The reality is that for many women, that dislike actually intensifies as they become more successful. That's because the issue isn't you. It's the system. Join Eleanor this week as she reveals why established women...

2026 Is the Year We Stop Hoping and Start PROVING
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
Can you pull up a spreadsheet right now showing the documented ROI on every business program you invested in last year? The measurable revenue increase? The proven time savings? The concrete systems installed? If you're like most women entrepreneurs, you can’t. Not because you're not brilliant. Not because the programs weren't valuable. But because the business education industry has trained us to measure success by how inspired we feel, not by what we can prove. And that ends now. Join Eleanor for this first episode of 2026 as she explores why the most sophisticated women...

The SIMPLE Podcast Strategy That Drove 55,000 Leads and $3M in Sales feat TERRI COLE
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
Most entrepreneurs create content hoping it will somehow translate to sales… but hope isn't a strategy. Here's the thing: your audience wants to support you. They're literally asking for ways to go deeper with your content. The problem is, you're not making it easy enough for them to take the next step. Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist, relationship & empowerment expert, podcast host, and author of bestselling books Boundary Boss and Too Much. But what makes her particularly fascinating is how she transformed her podcast into a $3M revenue engine without being salesy or...

The CEO Who Trains Like An Athlete And Why Your Business Needs You To
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
Eleanor is training for the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim this May: a legendary hike that's 25 miles, 11,000 feet of elevation change, all in one day. But here's the thing: she’s not doing this simply because she loves to hike. She's doing it because her business cannot afford anything less than a well-rested, deeply recovered CEO. This week, Eleanor is sharing why she's creating her body like a business operating system in 2026. This isn't a health journey episode - it's about what happens when a CEO becomes the weakest link in her own company. Tune in today to understand why your...

The Most Undervalued Hire in a Scaling Company: Your Executive Assistant feat. Anna Dearmon Kornick
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs
Are you secretly wondering if you’re the bottleneck in your business? If you're hovering around the $250K-$500K mark and feeling overwhelmed, here’s some good news: it's not you. You just don't have the infrastructure yet. One of the most misunderstood - yet most catalytic - hires that creates that infrastructure is an executive assistant. This week, Eleanor is joined by time management expert and host of the It’s About Time podcast, Anna Dearmon Kornick. Anna runs a successful business with just one full-time employee (herself!) while managing programs, clients, and her family,...
info_outlineQueens of business know that we are not actually building a business, we are building a world. And this mindset is so critical when it comes to creating a Jewel Business, one that uses the 30-30-30 concept we talked about last week to garner more CIA.
We coach our clients on developing this mindset so they can stop waiting for permission and finally step up and lead. Do you want to be a minion in someone else’s world or the queen of your own domain?
Shifting into this mindset is the first step to building a jewel business. Before we talk about any of the tactical milestones you want to hit, we need to discuss the way you think about yourself, your service, and what you want.
In today's episode, I walk you through why women can sometimes struggle to step into leadership because of our conditioning and how you can rework your mindset to overcome that. I invite you to get into this energy with me, set your boundaries, and create the laws in your world. I'll also show you some of the ways we do this in my business and how other successful companies grow their worlds. Remember, you aren’t meant to be a lady in waiting; you're a queen.
Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:
- What a jewel business is and the 30-30-30 concept.
- The most important mindset shift you can make as an entrepreneur.
- How many women are conditioned to think and behave.
- The difference between running a business and running a world.
- Some examples of successful companies building worlds (including mine).
- How to get clear on your boundaries and set the laws in your world.
