A Personal Story And Invitation To
Join Power + Presence + Position,
From Eleanor Beaton

I hit a MAJOR milestone in January 2018.

“I can’t believe it. I did it.”

I closed $1M in sales in 12 months. When I started my leadership coaching company a few years earlier, that number felt totally out of reach. But a friend encouraged me to be bold, so I set an audacious goal of hitting $1M in 3 years.

I wasn’t certain I could do it. I didn’t feel “ready.” But I went for it. 

And here I was, a 6’0, bi-racial woman working out of a backyard studio, in teeny tiny town, living my million-dollar dream.

I stood up from my desk, walked to the window, and looked out at the rolling, snow-covered field outside. 

“I can’t believe it. I made it happen.”

There is no experience more powerful than committing to a goal, seeing it through and making it happen. 

After a few false starts, I launched my women’s leadership and business coaching company in 2015. 

That first year, I did about $150,000 in sales.

The next year, I passed $350,000.

In my third year, I closed a million. 

The money has been wonderful. Even sweeter has been the prestigious opportunities that came my way ...

It’s wild to think that this milestone all began with a commitment.

Imagine the changes we could create if we kept our commitments to ourselves.

If you think that my experience is “special”, know that I started from ZERO.

Below is a picture me in 2013 — two young kids, lots of debt, my husband and I struggling to get two businesses off the ground.

My aesthetician — a successful business owner in her own right — told me to look up Marie Forleo. It was a passing suggestion that forever changed my trajectory.

I realized that I could build a 7-figure business that had a huge impact…from anywhere!

In 2014, I started selling coaching packages while I wound down my previous business — a communications consulting agency.

I took trainings in “online launching” and “online sales”…but I was struggling. I had no niche, my message was boring and my marketing was cringe-worthy.

I made some sales, but it just wasn't "ME".

This is when I started to see that NONE of the online tactics would work unless I first nailed some key, foundational elements: a lucrative niche, a powerful message, an irresistible offer, and a strong marketing system.

I saw that with these foundations in place, anyone — even someone who was a total newbie to business and marketing — could make real money. It was the beginning of what I call today ...

My "Category Of One" Method

It was based on my extensive training as a business journalist, PR pro, and advertising executive. 

And it didn’t involve expensive websites, overpriced logos or complicated funnels that others in my industry were preaching. 

Over the next 3 years, I used my Category of One marketing system to land lucrative contracts, sell-out programs, and live events, and ultimately cross the 7-figure mark in sales.

In 2019, I refined my method further, cut 60% of my audience, cut a revenue stream that contributed roughly 40% of my company’s annual sales, and continued to accelerate growth while simplifying my business.

Today I have a team of 8 full-time employees who are capable of growing the business without relying on me. 

My podcast is ranked near the very top in one of the most competitive categories online: entrepreneurship. I have won multiple awards for my work advancing gender equity and women’s entrepreneurship.

I have multiple six-figure cash reserves and a healthy retirement nest egg. My family takes amazing five-star vacations each year — paid for in cash — and my husband joined our business last year. 

I continue to be surprised at the money-making and dream-enhancing power of a lucrative niche, a powerful message, an irresistible offer, and a strong marketing system.

I’ve committed to teaching other women entrepreneurs how to do it.
