Eva Jannotta - ‘The Myopic Business Epidemic’ — Glambition Radio Episode 175 with Ali Brown

I’m doing a bit of a RANT along with some educated observations on this solo episode of #GlambitionRadio, and the subject is the epidemic of *myopic* business owners. ‘Myopic’ basically means being nearsighted, lacking foresight, or lacking insight.

Especially within the current online madness, I still see too much ‘following the leader’ and not enough critical thinking. In many cases I’m seeing a lack of even ‘common sense’ thinking.

I see entrepreneurs who consider themselves ‘innovative’ locked into only improving the models that have worked in the past. They don’t even want to test new methods. And when problems arise, they simply work the model harder. It’s akin to digging a deeper and deeper hole they can’t emerge from.

(This is especially evident with those who have simply learned one model of selling something online – for example, the Facebook ads to a free call and then enrolling prospects into some type of service or program. On the show I discuss how yes, this formula works well for some, or for awhile, but there will be a day when something in the formula stops working. And what do they get stuck doing? Listen and learn.)

And here’s where we think and say we are ‘innovators’ but we are not. A recent blog post by Seth Godin got me thinking about this recently.

Unless you are continually trying things that are technically UNPROVEN, you are not innovating.

I’ll give some great examples of women business leaders I admire, including my friend Kara Goldin of Hint Water and shoe designer Tamara Mellon, who are doing business very differently than others in their industries.

And I also give several examples from three of my own 7+8-figure clients — Kelly Roach, Amanda Tress, and Michelle Bosch – these gals are smart because even when business is doing extremely well (all of them do multiple millions per year), they are CONTINUALLY looking ahead and testing new waters.

(Ladies: THIS is what separates the real BOSS leaders from the ‘girl bosses’.)

Head to Apple Podcasts and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download it for later). This is one you don’t want to miss!

>>> And, to help you break out of the pack… and THINK and DO differently, I created my private #ICONICwithAliBrown event, happening November 5+6 this fall in Phoenix.

We have only a handful of seats left, and I’m looking for a few more powerful women leaders to round out our already incredible group. (Current average revenues per attendee in the room are approximately $1.2M.)

Please note this is an advanced workshop for women entrepreneurs with minimum qualifications to attend. Have a look at IconicWithAliBrown.com, and if it’s not a good fit for you, please pass this on to a high performing female entrepreneur you know.

And come join in our conversations on Instagram at www.instagram.com/alibrownofficial or Facebook at www.facebook.com/alibrownfan.

Xo,

Ali

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
