Epic Success With Dr Shannon Irvine

This week, I want to revisit one of my favorite podcast episodes - because I think it's so important, and relevant! Have you ever been stretched too thin and overwhelmed?  Hey, me too!  When I first started as an entrepreneur, I felt like there was never enough of me to go around. I wanted to do it all - run my business, grow my non-profit, care for my household, and be a mother - but I felt like I’d have to give something up. Have you ever been there? What I didn’t know was that my brain was working against me, and that there were resources out there to shift my mindset and have my brain start working for me. I talk about the three key components that science teaches us about success in the brain.  Knowing how your brain works is key to understanding how you're wired, and if you don’t, you are at risk of working against your brain - instead of having your brain work for you and for your advantage.  I can’t wait to dive into the 3 key components that will help you become the creator of your thoughts, so you c

Entrepreneurship is not a path that’s free of feeling fear, and success is not a destination that’s free of discomfort. And, that’s great news! I imagine that every entrepreneur pursuing their dreams feels discomfort at some point. And - do you know what’s on the other side of that discomfort? Growth, perseverance, strength, empowerment, and so much more! This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk with my good friend and creator of the Millionaire Girl’s Club, Jill Stanton, on her path to success, the fears she had to let go to get there, and how she’s working to continue to pursue massive growth and momentum in her business. Let me tell you - Jill is the REAL. DEAL. She just gets it, and I’m so thankful for her friendship. She knows what she wants and she goes after it, all while showing up as her authentic self. You’ll want to take notes, I promise. Ready to lean in? Let’s go! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “If you don’t lean into the discomfort, how are you ever going to become some

We all know that the path to entrepreneurship isn’t easy - it takes a lot of hard work. However, I want to let you in on a little secret - the path to entrepreneurship is more common than you might think.  It may not be easy - but you’re not alone on this path! What if I also told you that I know of a roadmap to guide you step-by-step into that reality, right to financial freedom and fulfillment? Well, I have just the resource for you!  This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk with my friend and host of the podcast Entrepreneurs on Fire, John Lee Dumas, about his new book out for pre-order, The Common Path to Uncommon Success. In his book, John shares a 17-step roadmap to creating your path to your unique, uncommon success.  Seventeen steps outlining exactly how to achieve your version of success in your life and business?! I say, yes, YES and yesss. Grab a pen and paper - this episode is packed full of goodness that you don’t want to miss! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Financial f

Do you ever feel like you and your business are the best kept secrets? You’re working as hard as you can to take your business to the next level, but just can’t seem to cross the threshold into the massive growth you know you’re capable of AND just can’t shake the feeling that there’s something holding you back. I have a question for you - have you ever stopped yourself from stepping into something you felt called to do, or really wanted to do, because you were scared? Maybe you’ve thought to yourself: “What if I make a mistake?” “What if no one shows up - or, what if no one likes what I have to offer?” “Will I be judged for this, what will people think?” These are called brain automations - and they’ll keep us in an endless cycle of fear until we let go of them. Guess what? I’ve been there! I’ve felt my fair share of fear surrounding my business, and I’ve made several mistakes along the way.  I have good news for you though - mistakes are not permanent, and it’s possible to step into all that you are called

If you aren’t exactly where you want to be in your business… If you want more clients and sold out programs, but it’s a struggle… If you are driven by impact, but don’t have the cash flow to make the impact you desire… Here’s what’s blocking you: what you saw and heard when you were growing up impacts how you view money. Unpacking those money stories is the key to shifting from wanting success and actually attaining it. This week on the Epic Success podcast, I’m helping you unpack your money story so that you can start to train your brain to transform your business, shift what is programmed in your subconscious to stop blocking you from what you know you are called to do, and tap into what stories you have hardwired and replace it with the abundance mindset that you want. I want you to slay your business and have so much money because you’re impacting lives. Ready? Let’s go! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “Money is one of those things that touches on all those stories that we connected with

One of the things I get asked a lot is how to change habits. I think we all have habits we would like to either get rid of or a new habit we’d like to build. What is one habit you would like to change or add to your life? Want to know how to neurohack your success through habits? Awesome! It’s not as “hard” as you may think. This week on the Epic Success podcast, I’m sharing how habit success is an inside job.

It all comes back to theNeurocoaching Model™, which I skim the surface of today but go into depth on inside my Epic Success Program One of the best hacks for training your brain to transform your life and business is really leaning hard into neurohacking on a daily basis.

Let’s end 2020 with a BIG celebration, 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 opportunities to become the creator of your thoughts – particularly in the context of situations or people who trigger us (hello holidays and judgy relatives!). You already know my mission is to help you become the creator of your thoughts for epic success in your life & business! I truly want you to end 2020 strong - and begin 2021 even stronger!  In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I take you inside a training session that I did inside my paid coaching group to give you a taste of what it’s like to master your brain and break through to levels that you didn’t even think were possible. The best part is that you’ll be able to apply this training to set your own goals for 2021! If you’re ready to master your thoughts, even in triggering circumstances,

And just like that, the holidays are upon us and 2020 is coming to a close. 2020 has come with its own hiccups and bumps and complete stand stills. One thing that stands out however is your resilience, breakthroughs, lessons, and blessings. I want to challenge you to take a moment to reflect on all of your best moments and wins of 2020 - your brain will thank you for it.  Your brain will love the shot of serotonin that celebrating wins gives it! In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, we are celebrating the end of 2020 by sharing the most popular podcast episodes we had this year.  You’re going to hear from guests Dean Graziosi, Michael Hyatt, Hal Elrod, Pat Flynn, and Amy Porterfield in this epic episode. Buckle up… it’s a juicy one! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “My old brain wants to compare me to my past and fights to come back and take control today.” -Dean Graziosi   Successful entrepreneurs are not magical unicorns. We aren’t lucky or in the right place at the right t

2020 has been a year unlike any other year.  And we collectively felt it… on a global level. When I say 2020, what thoughts pop in your head? What emotions come rushing in? For a lot of people, the thoughts and emotions aren’t positive. Things like dread, overwhelm, disappointment… It’s real and it’s genuine and it happens. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about how emotions are processed  in the brain and how you have the power to create your desired state of being! Once you learn how the emotions you feel play out as a result of your brain’s wiring, you are able to condition your brain to your advantage… instead of your brain working you.  If you’re ready to start creating your thoughts and emotions in the brain so that you can have the life you’ve been dreaming of, then turn up the volume and dive in! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   We should be evaluating every area of our lives on a quarterly basis.   As entrepreneurs, we are very motivated individuals. We u

This 4-letter F word will change your life.  Of course the F word I am talking about is FEAR.  Ever felt it? Yeah, me too. I still feel it every day. My guess is that if you’re an entrepreneur, you have experienced fear. Whether you’re afraid of going live on your Instagram... Or leaving your corporate job to pursue your calling... Or launching your first course to the world. As an entrepreneur, fear is something we have to welcome and learn to use to our advantage. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about fear in the brain and how to eliminate it.  Fear is a normal part of life, and it’s a sign that your brain is working exactly how it’s supposed to. But fear doesn’t have to keep you from living the life you’ve always dreamed of having.  You can learn to recognize fear and actually eliminate it… using fear to your advantage to live the life you’ve always wanted. For your brain - FEAR is Find (False) Evidence Appearing Real and Fire neurochemicals to keep you SAFE at all cost! If you’r

I launched my program in the middle of a pandemic.  July 2020.  With the world being in the state it was in, I was hesitant..., but it was so overwhelmingly worth it! I was able to show up BIG, and serve my people even bigger. And I was able to offer them community, accountability, and transformation in the process… all through a Facebook Group! And I want you to be able to do the same thing! In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Christina Jandali about building Facebook Groups alongside your business.  Christina Jandali is a Success Coach for entrepreneurs whose dreams stretch beyond a corporate career.

I hate to say it but the coaching industry is broken. What most coaches don’t realize is that they are working against the way the brain is wired to get results. So many well meaning coaches have learned broken coaching methods which means they are coaching the wrong way… coaching the wrong thing! Coaching symptoms instead shifting at the source. And it’s not their fault! There is no governing body - no regulation - in the coaching industry. Which is why just about anyone can become a “coach”. Even though these coaches mean well and their heart is in the right place, because of these broken coaching methods - they could be causing more harm than good. Causing their clients to work harder in all the wrong ways, which stops lasting and genuine transformation. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about the broken parts of the coaching industry.  Coaches are needed now more than ever! As a coach, we need to show up big, serve deeply, and help guide people to the best version of themselves. 

Picture this.  Thousands of lives are being transformed… bettered… changed! People are walking in the fullness of their calling and in the fullness of their purpose. People are living as the best version of themselves. Good things are happening. People are being helped. Love and encouragement is being shared.  And it’s all because you helped them get there by stepping into your calling and walking in your EPIC vision, creating a legacy movement, and changing the world.  In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Alex Charfen about creating momentum in your business. Alex Charfen is the author of the Entrepreneur Personality Type & The Billionaire Code. He helps entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses and build game changing teams through his Charfen Cadence. And I am one of those entrepreneurs!  Epic Success has been growing in momentum for months now and I decided that I wanted to scale my business and build a world class team… Which is why I’m working with Alex! I can’t wait f

Seriously though… Take a second and think about it.  What is that fear-filled thought that you’ve been telling yourself over and over again for years? In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about how to Ditch Fear in the Brain so you can start choosing the life you want to live! Everyone has experienced some sort of fear and it’s totally normal! Fear is a part of life. It actually is there to keep us alive.  The amazing thing is that we have the power to rewire our brains for our advantage and actually ditch the fear that controls us.  Imagine life (and business) without the anxiety stopping you cold from playing big! Grab a pen and paper and let’s dive into how to ditch fear in the brain! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   Fear is the thing that your brain uses to keep you safe.   Your brain is wired to kee

How many times have you planned on doing a social media live, only to stare at your face in the camera for five minutes, *palms sweaty*, and close the app because of nerves?  I know it’s not just me!  We make these big plans, we have the script and the steps and the to-do list but something always keeps us from actually doing it. We keep… stopping.  In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about how to hack your brain's protection system so that you Stop Stopping!  It's time to finally take action and start working your brain for your advantage so that you can build the life and business you’ve always dreamed of having. I can’t wait to dive into the three things that you must do to help your brain see that it’s safe to stop stopping! Grab a pen and paper and let’s jump into hacking your brain! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   You have automated stories that keep you playing small.    Your brain automates the thoughts that are repeated over time. You probably have automate

Money is… what? Okay... Tell me honestly, what was you first thought!?  The truth is, every single person is going to have a different answer. Every single person has different thoughts and beliefs about and around money. “Money is hard to make.” “Money is a necessary evil.” “Money is the root of all evil.” “Money is energy.” And then there’s the “I need more money.” “You can never have enough money.” And maybe for a few of you, “Money is easy to make and it comes to me easily!” Whatever the story is, the truth is, you have one… You have a money story.  In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk about your brain and money - what you think and believe about money, and therefore what happens in your life because of it. Our brain automates all sorts of stories… Including money stories. What you believe about money and what you think about money matters.  I can’t wait to dive into your brain and money so that you can finally start choosing the thoughts in your brain that will bring you the money s

When I was a kid, we would drive through upscale neighborhoods and my dad would always say, “These people can only afford living here because they’re living off the work of good people.” In my young, child brain, I equated having money and living in a nice house to being a bad person. And my brain not only believed that for many, many years, but it caused me to operate and make decisions out of that belief. It held me back for a long time.  In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I break down How the Brain Wires Success and How the Brain Wires Failure. Our brain is wired in such a specific way and when we have an understanding of how the brain works and operates, we are able to work our brains for us, instead of our brains working us. I can’t wait to dive into success and failure in your brain so that you can go from stressed-success to thriving success.  The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   Your negative thinking is not your fault.   First things first… The way you think is not.yo

What makes you tick? Why are you the way that you are? How many Buzzfeed quizzes and personality tests have you taken to figure it out? Which Disney Character am I? What color is my aura?
