Epic Success With Dr Shannon Irvine

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 on your mindset” with wishing & hoping and trying harder while sitting in the lotus position. Instead, it’s vital that you start to understand that it’s all about the way you think. You must purposefully step in to train your brain to think. In this episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I go into a bit of a rant. All for your benefit. I’ve been watching common messaging around mindset online and it gets me impassioned. Mindset relies too much on willpower, which will fatigue like any other overused muscle. If you’re ready to step into the empowered position of training your brain instead of wishing and hoping 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 making are created from thoughts, and you have 100% control over your thoughts. All your decisions create your reality.  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, I want to empower you to take control of your decisions by taking control of your thoughts. There is magic when you decide what you no longer want to believe, then take actionable steps to start building new neural-pathways so that you can believe the beliefs you want in your life. If you’re ready to shift from excuses to empowering decisions and actions, buckle up and listen in! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “You are always deciding to advocate

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 the success that you already have inside of you. I had the pleasure of having Hal Elrod on the Epic Success Academy Podcast a few weeks ago (you can listen to his interview here). We are so aligned with his formula for the Miracle Equation and what I teach with the brain science of success. Something shifts in our brains when we shift from the hope, wish and plan cycle into “I am going to believe it will happen and make extraordinary efforts to make sure it happens.” If you’re ready to connect the dots between brain science and unwavering faith so you can become the person who has the success, income, and impact you wa

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 ever find their “calling.” This isn’t a calling issue - it’s a common 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. So enlightening! (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) I was in a training session with my NeuroCoachingTM certification clients when the topics of calling and boredom came up. I knew I needed to do an episode about it because I used to spin in this bait and switch cycle too. As a Visionary,

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 part of my personal journey from viewing my business as my baby to now viewing it more like a best friend relationship. I dive into how you can separate your identity from your business so that you and your business can thrive in a greater, healthier way, without all the need for validation and hustle. Ready to dive into worthiness and identity as an entrepreneur? Let’s go! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “We are all looking for some kind of validation in our lives in who we are.”   It’s so important to know that if your worth and identity are tied up in your business, you are looking for valida

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 our current reality and that which we visualize. We know from neuroscience that 80-90% of our brain is running on autopilot in our subconscious.  On this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I draw a line for you that connects the dots between neuroscience, thoughts, beliefs, and our current reality. If you’re ready to start showing your thinking brain what inevitable success looks like, get ready! This one’s for you. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: This beautiful system of your brain can be your best and most impactful business asset. Once you start to show your mind what you truly want an

Do you ever notice that some days it all clicks and aligns and you feel like you’re thriving… and some days you feel like you’re just surviving and everything feels like you’re striving to make it all work? It’s normal to be learning and evolving. The key is to check in with ourselves to ask better questions so we can keep moving towards our next level self. That version of you that’s not chasing validation of value but instead adding value to others from a place of abundance. This week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast is all about a way of being. The difference between these two ways of being - thriving versus striving - comes down to two things: our mindset and our focus. Let me explain… The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “You can’t make transformation happen through working harder and striving.” The first key to transformation in your business, starts in your mind. Are you focused on doing, striving, and staying on the move but not actually moving forward. Are you allowing potential fo

Have you ever felt like you are doing all the things, showing up, trying hard... but you just don’t seem to get traction or much exposure? Do you ever feel like your niche in the market place is just too crowded and you’re a small fish in a big pond? What if I told you that the thought of a “crowded market” is the problem, not the market itself?  Here’s the thing, when you’re in a niche wanting to stand out, you need to lean into the brain-based perspective to get curious about what you’re telling yourself as you put yourself out there. You need to slow down long enough to ask yourself what you think and feel about your business. On this week’s Epic Success Podcast, I want to help you change your thoughts around “crowded market” and become an industry leader using my NeuroCoachingTM model where I go from the inside out to help you train your brain so you can sell more, impact more, and have a real legacy business. Ready to slow down and dive in so you can stand out? I’ve got you! The biggest take-aways from t

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. One thing I know from my studies of NeuroPsychology is, becoming successful, in business AND life, is in the daily habits of what you think. It all comes back to my neurocoaching™ model, which I skim the surface of today but go into depth on inside my Epic Success Academy. One of the hacks for training your brain to transform your life and business, is really leaning hard into neurohacking on a daily basis. Ready to learn how? The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “A habit is just a decision repeated over time, just like a belief is just a thought repeated over time.” A habit starts in the

f 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 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 from y

Why is it vital to know where you’re starting in order to train your brain for success? Our brain needs to see things before it creates things.  What do I mean by that? Your subconscious mind is responsible for 80-90% of your decisions & actions. So you need to make sure your subconscious mind is programmed for what you want instead of just reacting. Your brain needs your directions, input, and belief in order to get to where you want to go… on purpose. On today’s Epic Success Podcast you’ll identify what type of entrepreneur you are according to how your brain is wired and learn how to turn what’s holding you back into your biggest asset. My hope for you is that you feel empowered after listening to this episode. I want to help you see where you’re at so you can create an intentional path forward to your next level of success. If you’re not sure what entrepreneurial type you are, get ready to find out! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “You need to make sure your subconscious mind is prog

You’ve already heard “video is king.” But if you’re like me, your next thought is “but why?” Why video? Why now? Why have a plan for video? As my incredible guest today puts it, video is the best way to get the right message to the right people at the right time. I am so excited to bring you Brandon Lucero, the video king with Video 4x Effect methodology for using video to scale your business. I’ve been working with Brandon in my business and it’s been transformational! He’s helped me dial in my messaging and communicate effectively my methodologies to help you train your brain to grow your business. Today we are diving into the mind of messaging. So if you’re ready to dial in your messaging and get your message out there in a more impactful way, listen up! Brandon breaks down his Millionaire Messaging framework to help you stand out because you stand for something. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “I’m a big believer in getting the right message to the right person at the right time.”   V

Are you an entrepreneur trying to have abundance in your business and it works sometimes, but not always? That inconsistency is super frustrating. I know, I’ve been there too! Priming abundance is one of my favorite topics when it comes to the brain. I know that as an entrepreneur, you’re driven and wanting to get your big mission and vision out there, but it’s a stop and start. You start to see evidence of abundance and success, but then something happens and you retract. This week on the Epic Success Podcast I’m talking about abundance priming, which is building a pathway in your brain that believes abundance is not just possible but inevitable. And yet I can’t, in good practice, talk about abundance without first addressing the biggest blocks to abundance and how to remove the neural-networks that feed scarcity thinking. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “We program our subconscious minds by the thoughts we have over and over again.” The first block to abundance is jealousy. When you’re lo

Here’s the truth: safety almost completely sabotaged my business... and it might be doing the same to you. If you want to grow your business to 6 figures and beyond, you have to learn the secrets that 7 Figure entrepreneurs know about removing the blocks to abundance! Our brains are wired to keep us safe and familiar, NOT to make us successful UNLESS you learn how to remove the blocks that help you survive, but not go beyond survival.  Our brains really are doing the best they can with the stories they formed during our childhood… but they just aren’t working for you now as an entrepreneur. Today on the Epic Success Podcast I’m getting extra vulnerable with you sharing how a traumatic childhood experience led me down a destructive path of over-achievement in an effort to create safety & control in my life. It’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about helping fellow entrepreneurs remove limiting beliefs and tap into the power of your brain by building a neuropathway in your brain to allow success to com

When all of your dreams come true, who will you be? How will you spend your time? What will you see, smell, taste, feel, have, do, be? If you allow yourself to really dream, your big vision will require you to step into a new level of abundance. That big vision is totally available to you… you just need to start hardwiring your brain now to get you to where you want to be then. Your brain has to believe it so you can see it manifest.  This week on the Epic Success Podcast, we’re talking about hardwiring abundance in your brain. It starts with training your brain so you can transform your business. I want to see YOU step into the next level of success! 80-90% of your daily actions and decisions are running on autopilot in your subconscious mind. If abundance isn’t what you believe, it isn’t going to manifest until you do.  We must consciously hardwire our brains to bring us what we want. How can you start to build a neural-pathway in your brain to allow abundance to flow? That’s exactly what you’re going to fi

What does self leadership have to do with your business growth? Well, everything. You cannot rewire your brain without self leadership. Self Leadership is making sure you’re governing and leading yourself in a way that will bring you to your highest and best version of yourself. Self Leadership is putting yourself out there so you are accountable to stick to your word. On this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I want to share with you how self leadership is key. The concept of self leadership is something I stepped into after learning how the brain is wired for success and failure.  Self leadership was and is a vital piece of my growth and success. The first way I stepped into self leadership was by getting incredible mentors. Mentors help not just affirm that our BIG goals are possible, but they also hold us accountable. Something magical happens when you no longer advocate for any excuses that you have. Are you ready to step into self leadership without your excuses? Awesome! The biggest take-away

I love that I have so many entrepreneurs in my tribe, like you, who are go-getters, working to make things happen and trying to gain traction. The thing that I most see standing in the way between you and your biggest goals is fear. Fear often leads to procrastination, playing small and sabotage. Your brain is wired to keep you safe, not to build a highly profitable business. Today on the Epic Success Podcast, I’m sharing a neuro-hack that will help you break free from fear and move you towards the successful business you want. It has gotten me and my clients great results! I want the same for YOU. If you’re tired of feeling stuck on this side of fear and are ready to gain real momentum towards your goals, this episode is for you! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “What you’re looking to do is on the other side of fear, safety, procrastination, and sabotage.”   I learned this ‘Power of 5’ Principle from Jack Canfield years ago. It’s a simple process, yet not many do it. Listen in to hear th

Do any of these thoughts sound familiar? “I don’t think I have what it takes.” “I’m not expert enough.” “Who do I think I am to do that?” “People will find out I’m not really qualified.” “I need a degree first.” “If I just had 10 years experience, then I could do that.” If you’re saying “oh yeah, those all sound like me!” Then, welcome to entrepreneurship. We all have said those things to ourselves. On this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I want to help you create a different kind of conversation that goes on in your head that will help you achieve your big goals instead of playing small. You’ve heard me say this many times: we are not wired for entrepreneurship. But we can be! The key to wiring your brain for entrepreneurship is build a success neuropathway and to remove (or prune) those pathways that are programmed that aren’t serving your success. I’m going to show you how to overcome imposter syndrome by leveraging the natural systems in your brain to work for you and not against you. Ready

As an entrepreneur and parent, have you ever felt the tension of balancing business and family? Or how about balancing between your faith and business? Based on conversations with the hundreds of entrepreneurs I’ve worked with, navigating business, family, and faith is a very common struggle, which is why I’m really excited for you to listen to today’s episode.

While those are her official titles, she is also a wife and mom to two little boys. We talk about what it’s like to be an entrepreneur and how our faith plays a role in that. We also dive into success shame, mom guilt, and navigating the seasons of life & business as a parent and business owner. If you’re wondering how to approach business in a way that honors God, your family, and your gifts, this is the episode for you! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “We all have a seasonality t

Have you read the article “1000 True Fans” and wondered to yourself, “that’s awesome and I want that… but how?”  In a time when everyone is crazed over the number of followers, subscribers, and customers - it’s created an inch-deep, mile wide focus.
