Epic Success With Dr Shannon Irvine

What if I told you that the hustle hard struggle of entrepreneurship is completely optional? That you could move past striving and start thriving? We weren’t trained to be entrepreneurs and our brain isn’t naturally wired for it. We were taught to study hard, get good grades, avoid failure at all costs, and take the route of least resistance in a career for 40 years until retirement. News flash: that is not how entrepreneurship works. In fact, those actions are exactly what keep so many entrepreneurs stuck and frustrated. Great news, though! You can train your brain for success and step into the Digital CEO you were created to be!  My friend and business coach, James Wedmore, joins me today on the Epic Success Podcast to teach you how to see entrepreneurship from the inside out! James trains Digital Entrepreneurs to market their business effectively and generate more revenue, all while reintroducing FUN into their business plans! As founder of his signature program Business by Design and his Mind Your Busines

Have you thought about writing a book? Do you feel like you have an idea worth sharing? If you’re like 81% of Americans, according to a NY Times article, your answer is YES. My guest today and I both hold the belief that you absolutely have a message to share with the world that someone can only receive from you and your unique experiences. Tragically, the article also revealed that only 3% write their manuscript. Let’s make sure you are a part of that 3% who takes the step of courage and publishes! You don’t have to keep dreaming about it! You can finally write and publish the book you’ve always wanted to write. My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast, Coach Azul, is a genius at pulling out the inner story that all of us have. He is a book coach to very successful entrepreneurs like Pat Flynn and Dana Malstaff and has a podcast called Born to Write. From the classroom to coaching, he has always had a passion for story. His TED Talk called “What Makes a Good Teacher Great” has 1.4 million views. He helps p

As an entrepreneur, when you want to transform peoples’ lives, connecting with new clients and converting your ideal client has everything to do with messaging. You can have the most amazing, powerful, life-transformative service, but if you cannot get your client to understand the value in that service, they will not buy. As an entrepreneur, it is your duty to learn this messaging piece so you can impact all the people you are meant to serve in the world. If copywriting (your words that attract and sell to your clients, not to be mistaken with copyrighting to legally protect your work ;) ) sounds a bit daunting to you, then today’s podcast is meant for you! My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast is the super talented copywriter, Sara Anna Powers. She helped me with my copy as I transitioned my business online and she is a copy specialist. She is sharing her Six Cs step-by-step framework to take your client from connection to conversion and make you amazing at copywriting. So if you like a good step-by-st

You have this big calling and big ideas. You’re putting it out there and wanting it to be a success...but feel like something’s blocking it and it’s frustrating! You get really close, then you sabotage. Or you start to get some momentum, then you procrastinate. You just can’t figure out what’s blocking you and you’re left with this feeling of, “It just must be me. I must not have what it takes...” You need to know you’re not alone! (and it is NOT your fault) I used to deal with this as well and as a Doctor of Neuropsychology and high performance business coach, I see this in my clients all the time. Your brain is my specialty! I help entrepreneurs learn the brain-based, science-backed methods to high performance so that you can remove the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back and keeping you stuck - and allow you to lay the neural pathways in your brain so that success can come easily and effortlessly. As an entrepreneur, there is one thing you absolutely need to know about your brain. It’s the one

I would love to know: what fear is standing in your way? What is the thing that you’re saying to yourself that’s stopping you from playing big and doing the big things you desire to do? No matter what your biggest fear is, I can tell you, IT IS the #1 thing blocking you from the success you desire. If that FEAR remains in your subconscious, then you will always play smaller than you are. You will always limit yourself. You will always keep that foot on the brake and wonder "why am I not getting where I want to go?" Good news: fear is what our brain uses to keep us in the safe and familiar. Why is that good news? Because fear is created in our mind, same place success is created! And you, my high-achiever friend, have the power to remove those fears and replace them with the thoughts and beliefs that create the success and results you want, and it is easier than you think! I coach clients daily to remove their fear-based blocks holding them back. Using my brain based coaching model you can finally get the resu

What if I told you there’s a strategy that is responsible for 90% of the results of the most successful entrepreneurs … would you want to know what it was and HOW they used it? Would you want to learn it ASAP so you could start getting results like they have 90% of the time?  I think I know what you answered!! YES!!! 80-90% of your daily actions and decisions are being created from ONE part of your brain, the subconscious, which is programmed from your past and on automation. The good news? It is 100% within your ability to not only remove the past faulty programming that has kept you stuck, overwhelmed, procrastinating, and on the perfectionist rollercoaster AND literally ‘train your brain’ to success. IF you decide to NOT learn this model of brain training, you will stay on autopilot, letting your past limiting stories and beliefs govern 90% of every decision and action. YOU can’t outperform, out-hustle, or just out-affirm your subconscious, which is programmed from your past and on automation. You don’t wa

Does decision-making ever feel daunting when it comes to your business or your life? Today I’m talking about a vital decision you must make that will either make or break your business. I help entrepreneurs train their brains so that they can step into their biggest vision, impact millions and crush sales in their business. One thing I see over and over again as I help clients build their business from the inside out, is that they are in an ‘abundance to striving’ struggle.” This happens when they have not made this key decision I’m going to talk about today. Aren’t you ready for this to be your breakthrough year? Aren’t you ready to stop advocating for the limited version of yourself? Let’s do it, together! Key takeaways “A vision requires you to lean into the being that you must become in order for that vision to come true.” Your vision is the gateway through which all of your actions proceed. Every decision you make is either advocating for where you are now or where you want to be. You must define that fu

Today we’re talking about the F word - Failure. Yep, I said it. I’m sharing my biggest online failure and how that turned into a multiple 6-figures in just 6 months. One of the greatest gifts that failure gave me was the birth of my biggest calling: to advocate for your highest and biggest vision, not the vision you settle for or the limiting beliefs that have held you back. As a high-performance business mentor, I help entrepreneurs train your  brain to transform your business so that you have the clients, sales, and impact you desire. For me and those I work with, income is really just a reflection of the impact of our work. If you’re not where you want to be right now or are super frustrated about not being “far enough by now” and want to give up, hold it right there! IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT! It is your brain…. And it can be trained for success. I’ve been there and I’m here for you. You have everything that you need within you to succeed! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “In our society, we a

Do you have a product that you sell online and wonder how you really take your product business to become a brand in a way that doesn’t make you a one-product wonder but allows you to be a business? Do you already have a digital product and would like to add an additional layer of income through adding products to the mix? My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast is Scott Voelker! He is the host of his incredible podcast The Amazing Seller. While Scott is amazing, *The Amazing Seller* is actually YOU. He helps people start, build and scale their online business with digital and physical products. In other words, he helps entrepreneurs take action. If you’re curious about what it takes to start selling products online, and perhaps even more importantly, how to pivot in business gracefully, you’ll want to listen up! Scott is sure to inspire and inform you. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “Pivots happen because you grow, learn, and change...and then it’s the next season.” As entrepreneurs, w

So many people, my past self included, want to skip the “mindset woo” and go straight to strategy. The problem with that is, looking to strategy means you’re focusing on things outside your control instead what you already have inside of you. Rachel McMichael interviewed me on her podcast, Business With Impact, and brought up so many great questions that allowed me to do what I love to do most: show the science behind the “woo.” The reality is, neuroscience backs up why our mindset, especially as high-achievers, is the foundation of success. I really embraced this opportunity to break down the step-by-step process of neuro-hacking and show the power of our entrepreneurial mind. So if you’re like me and love a great process, get ready to take notes then take action! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “The first step is, we’ve got to remove the limiting beliefs and make them empowering truths.”   As Rachel points out, our thoughts will take us captive if we don’t take them captive. This first

You have more than likely read or at least heard of The Miracle Morning, a daily practice for personal development. Today we are taking that one step further to help you achieve your big goals! I am ecstatic and honored to have Hal Elrod on the Epic Success Podcast with me! He is the the best-selling author of the platinum book, The Miracle Morning, which has sold millions of copies and changed millions of lives, one morning at a time. Now in his newest book, The Miracle Equation, Hal shares the way he has lived his life, overcome cancer, and survived a life-threatening car accident. If you’re a driven, high-achiever like me, you love a good equation that leverages our thoughts and guarantees results. Look no further! Key take-aways in this episode:   “Your level of success will seldom exceed your level of your personal deve

Transition is a natural part of life and business. My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast helps entrepreneurs build confidence instead of overwhelm and uncertainty as they evolve. I love how her educational background and personal journey as an entrepreneur has led her to helping thousands of entrepreneurs. My dear friend, Jen Casey, helps online coaches and network marketers to think like a top earner and sell persuasively. Her specialty is teaching entrepreneurs how to get into their niche to serve at a deeper level. So if you’ve ever found yourself navigating transitions and the flood of thoughts that accompany them, this is for you. Key take-aways in this episode: “Getting in alignment is really about recognizing when something no longer feels good and then realizing when something feels really fun.” Tune in to the things that spark excitement in you and allow that to guide you and your business. Allow yourself to pivot into the next season and your next-level identity. Jen shares her personal exper

Do you ever get stuck in the planning and strategy cycle but struggle to take action and gain momentum? When you get a wave of inspiration, does it often fall flat before it even has a chance to thrive? This week on the Epic Success Podcast I have Evan Carmichael who reaches people who aren’t sure if they *can* and helps them turn their thinking around, take action, and truly believe. Evan has profiled the most successful people on the planet and found their common core is belief. Today, I just want you to believe. To push through your fears, take immediate action, and truly believe in your dreams. Key take-aways from this episode:   “Your purpose comes from your pain.”   I agree with Evan that, the thing that will drive you the most is that which has pained you or challenges you the most and then helping others through that pain. Listen in to hear Evan share some of the struggles he’s had in his entrepreneurial life that now fuels his purpose and business. [2:02]   “I believe the very first thing that you

   Are you ready to FINALLY stop the craziness of living launch to launch and start to step into serving in a different way? Are you wanting to add recurring income to your business and join the Recurring Revolution?    My guest today is my friend, mentor, and the membership master, Stu McLaren. He helps experts transform their knowledge and influence into recurring revenue by launching, growing and scaling 7 and 8-figure membership sites.    If consistent revenue and less feast and famine is something you desire, listen up! Stu has a wealth of information for you to grab and take action on. Key take-aways from this episode:   “They’re complementary, when we’re thinking of courses and memberships, it’s not an either/or. It’s almost always that they go together. They are the peanut butter and jelly of the business world.”      The tension that most business owners feel if they don’t have recurring revenue coming in comes from always being in promotion mode and never in 100 percent serve mode. Stu shares how

One equation I know to be true is Big Vision + Brand Visibility = Outstanding Opportunities! . My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast is Tiffany Lee Bymaster aka Coach Glitter, the queen of Live Video! Tiffany helps entrepreneurs leverage live video to share their BIG vision and build MASSIVE visibility! With nearly two decades of experience designing and styling for TV, film, and TOP personal brands, she has seen first-hand that personal and lifestyle brands are BUILT, not born. . Building a Personal Brand? Then it’s finally time to STOP HIDING behind the computer screen and step into your greatness! . Key take-aways from this episode: . “Live video is the fastest way to connect with people and build an engaged audience.” If we really pay attention to marketing, what people are craving is not more information. What they’re craving is more connection. People invest in people who they connect with. [7:59] . “Building a personal brand and business is a huge personal development journey that doesn’t end.”

If you are feeling the overwhelm and exhaustion of never-ending box-checking, in his new book, Free to Focus, Michael Hyatt helps entrepreneurs achieve more while doing less. Amazing, right?! I’m honored to have Michael Hyatt, best selling author, podcaster, formerly the chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publisher, and successful entrepreneur, on the Epic Success Podcast! He has been very influential in my life and business over the years with his work on productivity and mindset! If you are ready to not just get more done, but get the right things done, listen up! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “You can’t scale your business until you learn to scale yourself.”   This really comes down to delegation, which requires an investment and it requires that you think differently. You must get past the limiting belief that you must do it all yourself in order to succeed in life and in business. Michael shares two core limiting beliefs that entrepreneurs have around delegation and how to confront

Do you ever feel like you must strive and hustle in order to achieve success and take your business to the next level? I used to, too. Today I’m breaking down the brain science of success. We’re going to talk about how to THINK like a 7-figure entrepreneur so you can become one even faster and easier. I’m here to tell you with so much tough love: your brain is not wired to be an entrepreneur. But you can hardwire your brain for success...and I’m going to tell you how. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Your conscious, thinking brain is the boss. It is in 100% control. Unfortunately for 98% of entrepreneurs, your brain is on auto-pilot.”   Scientific research shows that 80-90% of your daily actions and decisions come from the subconscious part of your brain. Your subconscious mind’s sole job is to listen to the thoughts you repeat over and over in your conscious brain and automate it. What we repeat becomes a belief. For a lot of us, what we’ve hardwired into our subconscious brains through

Are you ever your own bully? Do you ever find that you’re telling yourself “I just don’t have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur?” We are always so much harder on ourselves than we are on others. I go in-depth about the simple steps required to rewire our limiting thoughts so we can overcome a scarcity mindset and fulfill our potential on this week’s episode. Christina Nicholson interviewed me on her podcast, Become A Media Maven, and brought to the surface a belief that “rewiring our thoughts sounds hard.” I really embraced this opportunity to break down the step-by-step process and neuro-hacking. If you’ve ever thought, “what’s holding me back” then grab your pen and notebook because you’ll love this episode as I share how simple it is to change your brain for breakthrough results. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “You can actually wire your brain for the success you’ve been craving.” It’s not as hard as we think it is. Our brains are super systematic.
