Epic Success with Dr Shannon Irvine

What everyone is experiencing is a massive new normal.  By definition of entrepreneurship, we like to control things. This is why we don't work for other people and create our own businesses and success.  We can't control the coronavirus. We can't control how other people react and behave. We can't control the government's response. This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I want to help you shift y...

Now more than ever, vision is vital. You know you need to prepare for the future of your organization, but the future can feel big and overwhelming. How do you prepare? When will you find the time? What will the future even look like? The future of your business  doesn't have to fill you with fear. You can lead  your team into a better, more exciting future with a clear and compelling vision. Mich...

There is so much going on in our lives individually and collectively. We have all found ourselves navigating a new normal and walking by faith. While I don't know how long this will last, I know one thing for sure: This too shall pass. It is through community that we have the opportunity to rise together .  How you show up today matters. How you show up in 3 months from now, 6 months from now, yea...

We certainly find ourselves in an interesting time of uncertainty - collectively as a country and world.  None of us predicted this, and none of us have experienced anything like it, but we get to choose how we're going to react and respond as entrepreneurs to it all. While we can't control what's going on around us, we can control the thinking that's going to create our future. As I've been think...

Everything seems upside down, unsure, and honestly a bit scary. The coronavirus has taken our "normal" away and I've been right there with you. If you are spinning  with fear, I want to help choose what you think and control the uncontrollable. Right now, you are creating your future with your thoughts. Think about this: so many of the entrepreneurs we look up to right now started from the time of...

How do you view vulnerability? Perhaps you view vulnerability as a liability...and that thought holds you back from opening up so you can step out and up. Another question for you: how much do you value growth? Here's the truth: Comfort is a casualty of growth. If we are to grow, we must get out of our own way and step into discomfort where growth and fulfillment live. In today's episode of the Ep...

What are you obsessed with? Chances are, whatever it is you're obsessed with, you also know a lot about it. You learn all there is about it, practice, research, read, experiment, do it in your spare time, and your eyes light up when someone asks you a question about it because you're eager to engage in the conversation! Am I right? What is that thing for you? Bee-keeping? Cooking soul food? Knitti...

What we do as entrepreneurs is think there's a strategy out there that, once we get it, it's all going to work for us and business will boom. Strategy is important, but it's almost like the car you drive. The car is important, obviously. But without the person getting in it, it's not going anywhere. It could be the most beautiful Ferrari, but it's really the driver that makes the difference. I stu...

Have you ever taken a personality test, read your result and felt "meh?" Yeah. Me too. And believe me, I've taken ALL the tests. #lifelonglearner A lot of people take a free test, read the description and it feels a bit lack-luster, and then give up on it. The key is to stick with it and get curious. Ask yourself what resonates with you? What doesn't? What have you never considered before? How cou...

Have you ever looked at someone and thought "we have zero in common, I'm sure of that!" But then you hear a piece of their story or they share something they're incredibly passionate about or against and you realize you're connected in a profound way by a common value. This happens to me every time I watch a Netflix documentary! Who knew I would feel as much of a connection with a millenial countr...

You're bombarded with what to do and say, am I right? The online business content gurus say you have to create how-to content, be vulnerable, and be inspiring. To their defense, this is how business online was built for the last 10-15 years. In today's marketplace, this advice is becoming less and less relevant. You need to pivot and adjust your content or you will blend in if you don't. On today'...

I want you to think about one of your big 2020 goals. Do you have it in your mind? Ok good. Who do you need to become to achieve that? Not what do you need to do - who must you be ? How do you need to show up?  Viewing your goals through the lens of who you must become shifts everything. When you do that, you allow your brain to work for you and not against you. On this episode of the Epic Success...

What I am about to tell you is paramount to you achieving anything in your life and in your business. When you are thinking about your current situation and circumstances, you're viewing them through the lens of your subconscious - the lens of your past . Too many entrepreneurs are playing it small because their brain is on autopilot and their past results are driving their future achievements. Yo...

Here's the truth: training your brain makes strategies effective and action efficient. You can have all the strategies and plans, but if your thinking is on autopilot, you're going to be working against yourself. Today's episode of the Epic Success Podcast is special because, not only is it Part 2 of our Best of Epic Success series, my guests bring a brilliant combination of mindset shifts, strate...

You know that person whose success you admire the most? The person who already has all the things you want to have and does all the things you want to do? Don't you wish you could put that person's brain into your body and use it to start achieving what you want? Well, you're in luck. Because that's exactly what I'm going to teach you how to do today! But wait right there! This is the second episo...

Let's end 2019 with a BANG, shall we? What if I told you the stress of the holidays is the best thing for your brain right now?  Triggering circumstances give you an inside view to your subconscious thoughts. Holidays are ripe with opportunity to become the creator of your thoughts - particularly in the context of situations or people who trigger us (hello holidays and judgy relatives!). You alrea...

What does it take to shift your brain from waiting for permission to taking hold of the reins? What if there was a tool that could help you shift from living in a place of scarcity, survival, and "not enough-ness" to a place of thriving, abundance, and growing your business? In today's episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I'm diving into the #1 tool that helped me create the success I've always wa...

Want to know something I know about you? You have incredible plans. You have big dreams. And I love that about you! So out of love, I'm here to tell you, you're being sold something that doesn't serve you.  The idea of mindset has become polluted and overused in the marketplace. The reality is, if you want to be successful in your business & life, you must understand that it's not about "working o...

As much as you're wanting to become the creator of your thoughts and life, do you ever feel like decisions are something you don't always have control over? Do you feel you just react to things that happen and then quickly decide based on your emotions at that time? Especially as an entrepreneur, it can feel like you're dodging one thing after the other. Truth is, those decisions that you're makin...

Plan - wish - hope  Ever fall into that cycle with your goals and business but not really gain traction? Yep. It happens… Did you know there is science that can help you go from plan to act to success? If you are an entrepreneur who wants to be successful and just haven't gotten to where you want to be yet, then I want to talk to you about some secrets that science has that will help you unveil th...

Have you ever started a business or project and put all your creative process and energy into it… but then started questioning if it was really your calling when the "passion" or drive ran out? This is something that SO many brilliant entrepreneurs go through and sadly the place where many get stuck and left with a partially built business. They start over again and again wondering if they can eve...

Have you ever had the narrative "If I am not successful in this business, it means I am a failure." Yeah, me too. My business was my "baby" because my identity was wrapped up in that win or next success. I would ride the wave of success like it was validating everything that I was. The truth is, our value is not determined by our success. In this week's episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I share...

This isn't personal.  Do you think that your success comes from outside yourself? That is common for entrepreneurs to think that. While it's very common, it also does not leave space for inevitable success because you're placing success as a factor outside your control - instead of within your own power. Here's the thing, our brains don't know the difference between what we are seeing around us in...
