Epic Success With Dr Shannon Irvine

Ready for a truth bomb?  There is no secret ingredient.  That shiny thing that’s being marketed to you guaranteeing your instant success?  It’s just really good marketing.  There are, however, effective and ineffective systems and habits that actually grow (or stall) your business.  How do you get your audience to convert to leads, who then pull the trigger after they realize they want what you’ve got, or better yet, they need what you’ve got? This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with my friend and mentor James Wedmore. James is a 7-Figure Online Business Systems Expert. He is the go-to guy for giving you the processes, systems, and strategies that helps struggling entrepreneurs go from overworked and burnt out - to inner-driven and thriving digital CEOs.  Are you ready to learn exactly what it is that will drive serious growth in your business?

We’ve been talking all about coaching in this series, and while there are many facets that make up a successful coaching business, when it comes down to it: coaching is all about the relationship.  As a coach, the relationships you build with your clients can make or break your business.  As a client, you have to be able to trust that you can truly rely on your coach to guide you and keep you accountable.   This takes intentional time and effort from both coach and client, which is why it is important that coaches are matched with the right clients.  #YourVibeAttractsYourTribe  When you think about your coaching business, what kind of relationships do you have with your clients?  What kind of community are you building?  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Certified Master NeuroCoaches™, Angela Stillwell and Gina Gonzalez. These women are passionate about our coaching community and are driven by supporting those in the NeuroCoaching Certification™ Program. They’ve leveled all the way up to Mast

So, you’re thinking about starting a coaching business… You couldn’t have picked a better time to get started. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself something along the lines of: Do I have what it takes to make it as a coach? And how can I do it well? Being a coach is so much more than just refining your own expertise to share with the world. It is about using your expertise to serve your clients with excellence. As a coach, it is your job to help your clients recognize the potential within themselves and maximize their own performance.  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with my good friend and Certified Master NeuroCoach™, Chantal Cox! Chantal gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how she went from feeling anxious and overwhelmed about becoming a coach to confidently stepping into her coaching business - FREE of the anxiety and stress that had held her back for so long.  The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “It’s not about you as the coach at all.”   When your clients say yes to your coac

Have you ever felt called to something that you KNOW is right for you - but the resistance you feel is so overwhelming that you can’t seem to step forward fully into that calling? Do you often struggle to lean in and trust the process of growing your business because the results aren’t always immediate? If you relate (even a little bit) to those two questions, this episode is for you! This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with my friend and Master NeuroCoach™ Instructor, Sarah Nykoruk. Sarah is an outstanding educational leader with an inspiring vision and over 20 years of experience as a teacher and coach for other teachers. Her story will inspire you and motivate you to step forward into your passion and calling - and I can’t wait to dive in today. Grab a pen and paper - you’re going to want to take notes! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “We can choose our thoughts.”   When a thought pops into our head, we typically take it at face value. And oftentimes, we believe the negative

Over the past year, on more than one occasion I’ve found myself in a situation that left me thinking, “What just happened?” How about you? We’ve experienced so much changing, shifting and upheaval in the last year - and it’s left many grasping for stability. Do you feel like you’ve drifted from routine, stability, comfort, control and/or peace in the past year? It’s okay if you have, and I promise you - you’re not alone, and I’m so excited for you to hear today’s episode.  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with best-selling author and one of my heroes in the faith, Christine Caine. This woman is a POWER HOUSE with an incredible story. We talk all about the drifting that can occur in our lives when we aren’t anchored to the right things, and about the freedom and hope that we unlock when we do anchor our lives to what matters most.  I know that not everyone is a part of the Christian faith, and I respect and honor that - AND I challenge you not to tune out because of that. Christine offers such val

Should I become a coach? Can I really help people and make an impact? Can I actually make a profitable business out of coaching? If you’ve ever had the idea to get into the coaching industry, a few of these questions may have popped into your head - and I get it! I’ve talked to many successful coaches who’ve pondered these same questions prior to going all in with their coaching business! This week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast is the second in our 4-part series on How to Build Your Coaching Business! This episode is really special to me because I talk with my dear friend Liz Nutter, who is certified through my NeuroCoaching Certification™ program.  I love Liz’s story of massive transformation and growth, and I know her wisdom and insight is exactly what someone needs to hear today - someone on the cusp of stepping into their true calling and vision. Have something to take notes with? Awesome - let’s dive in! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Clarity really came by getting into cour

Once I have _____, then I’ll be confident, happy, successful, etc. Have you ever had this thought? I’ll let you in on a secret - this is a broken confidence model that so many people get caught up in.  This model creates the idea that in order for us to be confident, we must rely on external circumstances and validation. If you’ve gotten to this place, it’s not your fault and this episode is for you! This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk about a different, brain-based form of confidence. YOU have direct access to this level of confidence right now, and it will flip the switch for you to step into the confidence and growth you’re made for.  Ready? Let’s dive in! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “You’ve gotta have belief, and repeat that belief enough.”   Are you waking up everyday, telling yourself what you want to create and who you want to be? If not, start this practice! Your brain has to believe it before it will see it. Listen in to this episode to learn more about how creating

If you’ve been following along on my journey for a little bit, you know I don’t shy away from difficult conversations. I’ve loved creating a space where people of all backgrounds and beliefs can come together to learn more about the brain science of success! Today’s episode is a topic that’s been on my heart for a while, and it’s about a myth that I can’t wait to debunk. This week on the Epic Success podcast, I’m diving into a conversation about faith and science. A common thread that I see weaved within these two subject areas is the notion that they are conflicting ideas - and I can’t wait to shed some light on how they actually coexist really beautifully within the brain! I know this topic isn’t everyone’s cup of tea - so I appreciate you listening with an open mind, and if it doesn’t resonate - that’s okay, too!   If you’re ready to dive in - grab a pen and paper and let’s get started! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “I see a direct correlation between faith and science.”   When I loo

Have you listened to the Epic Success podcast episode where I talk all about selling out your coaching programs? If not, check that out and then meet me back here! If you’re thinking about becoming a coach, the thought of growing and scaling your business the way you would like to probably intimidates you a little bit, right? (...if it doesn’t, you’re not dreaming big enough!) If you’re already a coach, you might be asking yourself why your business isn’t growing the way you want it to. I want to encourage you today - these are both valid and common places that soon-to-be coaches and current coaches often find themselves. Here’s something even more encouraging: If that’s you, you don’t have to stay there - and I’m here to help you level up! Contrary to what many think - growing your business and increasing your clientele doesn’t require you to market yourself and your business 24/7. Who has time for that? This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk all about how to accelerate growth in your coaching busine

If you’re an entrepreneur, I’m sure you felt the collective urgency for stability and certainty that resulted from this past year. The common theme that I’ve heard buzzing around the entrepreneur world this past year is: RECURRING REVENUE ...and I totally get it! When we have stable, recurring revenue - we’re less stressed, have more confidence in the work we’re doing and have an improved mental state overall. The question is...how DO you secure recurring revenue? This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk with my friend and Membership Master, Stu McLaren, all about recurring revenue in the form of memberships. Now, if there’s anyone to learn from about memberships - it’s Stu! He knows his stuff. Join us as we take a deep dive into all things memberships, and how important vital they are to building and maintaining recurring revenue - specifically during uncertain times. Grab a pen and paper, and let’s dive in! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “A lot of times, people will have the though

Have you ever heard someone talk about work-life balance and thought: “There’s no way that’s possible in my life.” Because...I definitely have. Years ago, I had reached a point in my life where I was fully immersed in success stress. I thought that if I worked hard enough and reached the goals I had set for myself - I could tend to my self-care and other responsibilities afterwards. Friend, this way of living is a one-way ticket to a life of overwhelm, burn-out, exhaustion and ultimately poor health. Not only that, but it actually holds you back from the success and growth you’re pursuing in your business.  This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk with my friend and Chief Executive Officer of Michael Hyatt & Co, Megan Hyatt Miller, about the possibility and necessity of work-life balance to ensure that you win at work and succeed at life.  Megan and her father, Michael Hyatt, have discovered what they call the “Double Win” of winning at work and succeeding at life - and not only has it radically tran

Have you ever started a business or a project, put all of your energy into it…only to question 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 are left with a partially-built business. From there, they start over again and again wondering if they will ever find their true calling. Can I let you in on a secret? This isn’t a calling issue - it’s actually a common personality trait if you’re a visionary! If you haven’t already, take the Rocket Fuel Visionary & Integrator Assessment to see where you fall on the spectrum. It’s so eye-opening!  AND, if you want a deep dive on the topic - check out my interview with Mark Winters called Rocket Fuel for Your Business: Visionary & Integrator. A little while back, I was in a training session with my NeuroCoaching Certification™ clients when the topics of “calling” and “boredom” were brought up. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I

Do you ever fall into what seems like a never-ending cycle with your business goals? You hope and wish for success in your business, but never really gain the traction needed for the success you envision? Yep. It happens, and I’ve been there... Did you know there is an actual science-based process that can help you go from planning to action, and ultimately to success? If you’re an entrepreneur who wants to be successful but just haven’t reached the point of success that you know you’re capable of, then I want to share some science-based secrets that will help you unlock and unleash the success that you already have inside of you. I had the pleasure of having my friend Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and top-rated keynote speaker, on the Epic Success Podcast a little while ago (you can listen to his interview here). We are so aligned with his formula for the Miracle Equation and how it relates to what I teach with the brain science of success. True transformation takes place in our brains

Do you ever feel like the ONLY way to achieve success is by hustling? You’re all too familiar with that nagging struggle to think about something other than work while trying to enjoy your weekend… I get it. I’ve been there. And I’m here to tell you there’s a better way! The illusion of hustle culture and the plague of overworking among entrepreneurs and CEOs is literally running businesses into the ground.  Hustling and overworking is actually pushing you farther away from the success you want, not closer to it. If you’re tired, burnt out and overworked on your journey to success - this episode is for YOU! This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk with my friend Michael Hyatt, Author and Leadership Development Expert, about his newest book that he co-wrote with his daughter, Megan Hyatt Miller, titled Win at Work and Succeed at Life. We talked about the detrimental impact that overworking can have on our lives and business - and how we can overcome and find freedom from the culture of overworking and hus

Do you ever feel like there is something holding you back from reaching your full potential?  Imposter Syndrome?  Perfectionism?  Procrastination?  Overwhelm?  Imagine getting rid of these brain-based blocks by flipping a Success Switch ON in your brain so that your success becomes easy and effortless.  I don’t want to see you wait any longer to get that business profitable, simply because you haven’t tapped into the way your brain operates.  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I want to teach you how to become an Unleashed Entrepreneur! I know if I can get your brain into action, everything will shift for you. There is no You and You 2.0. You 2.0 has always existed!  Get ready to take notes, action-takers -  and get ready to learn about clarifying, erasing, and automating a network working for you in your brain, drawing you into your dream. Here we go!   The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Getting rid of something is just as important as gaining something.”    In order to tell your autop

Ah, social media! As an entrepreneur, do you feel like you’re in a perpetual state of trying to figure out how to show up on social media? I get it - you’re not alone! Here’s the great news:  Social media is not really as complicated as it may seem, and when we discover how to best show up on our social media platforms as entrepreneurs - it can shift our entire business and attract real clients! The key is building relationships with our followers through serving them at the highest level and meeting them right where they’re at - all while showing up as our authentic selves. Customers will purchase goods and services from people they know, trust and have built a relationship with - and that’s how we convert our followers to clients AND to raving fans.  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with my friend and social media expert, Brock Johnson, about how to valuably show up on your social media platforms as an entrepreneur and the realistic strategies for converting followers into paying clients.   Get

I don’t know about you, but as an entrepreneur, I used to struggle with my identity a little bit. I thought, if I’m an entrepreneur, that’s my lane and I can’t stray outside the proverbial lines.  It didn’t matter that my faith was a huge part of my life - I couldn’t mix my faith and my business, it just won’t work. Have you ever been there? Let me help set you free from the lie that I believed:  Your faith and your business can coexist - and in fact, your faith can lead you to abundant freedom and success in your business, not only for yourself, but for your clients.  AND, if you aren’t spiritual - that’s okay! We’re opening up this conversation because I think it’s important to understand that we are all integrated, and our beliefs - whatever they may be - have a profound impact on us and our business. Whatever your beliefs are - hiding and limiting parts of yourself, for the fear of what other people will think, will not only keep you stuck - it will also push you to move backwards in your business. This w

Alright coaches, I’m talking right to you today! I know you want to be the coach that actually creates transformation for your clients - and I want to help you get there. Here’s the deal: There are so many well-meaning coaches out there, who are coaching with strategies that only lead to temporary shifts in thinking or behavior.  We don’t want to just make our clients feel good in the moment - we want to set them up for massive success and growth in the long run, right?! The key is knowing the difference between source-based coaching and symptom-based coaching.  Symptom-based coaching will address specific things that a client may be feeling in the moment, but it doesn’t address long-term solutions. Source-based coaching is a brain-based methodology, not based on will power but on neuroscience, to rewire the brain towards success.  As coaches, we really have to get to the source, not just the symptom. This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about symptom-based coaching versus source-based coaching and t

It’s 8:00pm on a Wednesday night… Are you just now closing your laptop for the night, mulling over all of the tasks on your to-do list that didn’t get done? Are you just now eating a quick dinner that you throw in the microwave because you don’t have the time or energy to make something, and everyone else in your house has already gone to bed? Are you noticing that it’s been a while since you’ve sat down with your spouse, your kids, or a friend for a prolonged period of time - without thinking about all of the work you need to get done? Ohhhhhhh I’ve been there and I know exactly how you feel. My dear friend, Michael Hyatt and I talk about just that on today’s podcast.  You’ve been sold the hustle fallacy that says the only way to achieve your goals and reach success in your business is through hustling and getting it done - no matter the cost.  I want to help you break free of the “cult of overworking.” It’s not benefiting you - and in fact, it very well could be hurting you.  Overworking blocks us from the
