The most important emotional state for entrepreneurial achievement is not motivation, commitment, or dedication. It’s willingness. When you cultivate within yourself a state of willingness, you are equipping yourself with the emotional juice required to transform at a deep level. 

 

Willingness allows you to reinvent your future one project, one experience, and one result at a time. However, many of you aren’t currently in that state of willingness, and this episode will help you change that.

Women entrepreneurs often have deep commitment to their goals, but that’s not enough. Commitment is the silent pact you make within yourself, an internal decision to go for your dream. It matters, but willingness matters more. 

 

In this episode, find out what willingness is, why it matters, and three steps to cultivate it for yourself. You’ll discover why this emotional state is so critical for entrepreneurial achievement and the tremendous impact it will have on your business. I’m sharing what willingness has done and will do for my business, and where to go to work on this with me and my team.

As women entrepreneurs, we live and breathe in the results economy. We are not paid for the amount of time and effort that we put into a project. We are compensated based on the value that we create in the marketplace and the tangible results we create for other people. And when we put half-done work out into the world, we’re not compensated at all.

 

Over here at Safi Media, we’re all about creating tangible value for female founders. Now, what we’ve come to realize is that work that is in progress creates little to no value in the marketplace. Work that is done is what creates value for yourself and other people.

Because I and so many of my clients operate in this results economy, understanding the difference between fake results and real results is a massive gamechanger. We’re not here to squander our hours of effort by putting work out half-finished. So this week, I’m discussing how to actually get things done so you see real results.

 

If you can align your efforts and intentions with real results, your level of success, your bottom line, and the impact you have will increase exponentially without burning out, and who doesn’t want that? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the difference between fake results and real results, how to distinguish between the two in your business, and how to create real results for your business.

 

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

 

• Why, if you put half-done work into the world, you get fake results.
• What fake results look like in your business and why they make us think we’re being productive.
• Why the only way to get real results is to put your completed work into the marketplace.
• How we help our clients to bring done energy to their work, instead of spinning in perfectionism.
• Why tolerating unclosed loops and unfinished work is sending the wrong messages to your team and your clients.
• What you can do to move past your fake results and start creating completed work that yields real results in the marketplace

About 18 months ago, I was having a conversation with a wise mentor of mine about the vision I had for my company and how I saw our position in the world. It was big, exciting, and I had confidence and trusted myself, but I kept butting up against a ceiling in terms of my own ability.

 

This is when my mentor said, “Eleanor, unlocking the next level of your vision isn’t about what you do. It’s about becoming the woman who is capable of having those things.” That conversation sparked a quest inside me to do an even deeper level of personal development work in order to bring my vision to life.

As women founders and entrepreneurs, we’ve been fed a lot of advice about the power of staying open-minded. We’re told to stay open to external feedback, ways of doing things, and challenges that come our way. Being a good leader, we’re told, means staying open.

 

I’ve spent the first part of my life, as I’m sure you have, honing my skills on openness. It’s one of my core values, and the periods in my business and personal development where I’ve been completely open to ideas and stimulus from other people have served me extremely well.

But what I’ve discovered of late is that there is power in intentionally closing down and being non-receptive. The notion of closing down gets a bad rap, and while there’s definitely a time and place for being open, purposefully choosing to be non-receptive is more valuable than you think, and I’m showing you why.

 

If you often find yourself overwhelmed or distracted to the point where you can’t hear yourself think, or you identify as a sensitive person and you’re ready to find a new way to protect your energy and creativity, learning the skill of being non-receptive is key. On this episode, I’m showing you what I’ve come to realize about the power of being non-receptive, and my top strategies for practicing this.

 

Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast:

 

• How being open-minded can serve us well at the beginning of our business journey.
• Why I believe the advice given to women about staying open is stupid 75% of the time.
• What I’ve come to realize about the power of being non-receptive.
• How I’ve learned to consciously hone my skill of being non-receptive.
• Why giving ourselves permission to be non-receptive is so valuable.
• My strategies for purposefully being non-receptive.
