Epic Success With Dr Shannon Irvine

The stories you tell yourself can either crush YOU or help you crush your goals. Today, I’m helping you shift from crushed, to crushing it! In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast I had the honor of having Pat Flynn interview me on his podcast, Smart Passive Income, and you get to listen in! Pat is a master interviewer and he has me go more in-depth with step-by-step examples of rewriting the stories that limit us than on any other podcast episode I’ve done! (You can listen to his original episode here). If you love tangible examples and step-by-step processes, then you will love this episode! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Epic Success to me means building a life and business that is completely fulfilling”    People can build their businesses to 6, 7, and 8-figures and still focus on their families, health and life. My mission is to see entrepreneurs step in and really define what success looks like so when they get there, they can actually feel successful instead of gettin

“What if I fail?” “What if I don’t?” “What if I actually showed up?” “What will people think?” “What will people say?” I hear these kinds of questions all the time and it all boils down to one thought, “I’m afraid.” Fear gets in the way of so many decisions, actions, and plans.  It keeps us from living out our calling and purpose.  It keeps us from reaching the people we’re supposed to be showing up for and serving.  It doesn’t have to stay that way though! In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Jennifer Allwood about the reality of fear and the power we have to overcome it! Jennifer Allwood started in the DIY world and has now taken that passion and turned it around to teach other people and creatives how to turn their creative hobbies into lucrative online businesses. She teaches that “Fear Is Not The Boss Of You!”  And guess what? It doesn’t have to be! I want you to dive into this podcast episode headfirst and really listen! This is the episode that will help you to start tackling

I have a friend who used to doubt herself all the time.  “This seems too hard.” “There’s too much risk.” “I can’t do it.” It broke my heart because I knew that she was capable of doing big, audacious, hard things… She just needed to get out of her own way, out of her head, and start being her own advocate. Can you relate? If so, it’s okay!  We all get in our own way at times.  But I want so much more for you!  I want to see you succeed in your business and your life.  And I want to help you do it! In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Mel Abraham, Tiffany Lee Bymaster, and Colin Boyd about standing firm in certainty and having resilience in shifting circumstances.  These 7 figure entrepreneurs are facing the changing economy head on and recognizing the great opportunities that are in front of them.  They are showing up, impacting lives, and changing the world.  I want you to lean in, really listen, and start creating certainty and clarity in your business.  The biggest take-aways fro

Picture this… You’re on a boat in the middle of the ocean... The waves are crashing in every direction you look… You start to panic…  Fearing how the waves might overcome you… But then you slow down and realize that there’s a perfect circle of water around you… Unaffected by the waves and the chaos.  You’re sitting in complete peace. You don’t wonder for long why this is… You just go with it! And despite the unknown and uncertainty… You are moving, thriving, and truly living! You can have this kind of hope and peace. Your business and your life can thrive and grow in this season.  There is no better time than now to show up, serve the people around you, and create the life and business you’ve always wanted.  You can have this. You can do this.   In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Rachel Perry, Jennifer Berson, and Scott Voelker. We deep dive into the power of showing up big and serving people even bigger!  These 7 figure entrepreneurs deep dive into everything they are doing since

The dust is settling and people are finding their rhythm. Are you one of them? We’re in the middle of a shifting society and economy. How are you continuing to serve  the people around you? If you’re feeling stuck on how to be there for your tribe, it’s okay! And guess what? You don’t have to stay there! You can continue to grow in your business and in your life. And right now is the time to craft your own path. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m sharing my interview with 3 of the industries top leading entrepreneurs. These influential, 7-figure entrepreneurs share what they are doing in their businesses, lives, and families to Become Unstoppable and Thrive during the current circumstances. You are going to hear from: Stu McLaren, Michael Maidens, and James Wedmore.

What if this season was your season?  What if this was your season to not only show up, teach, and educate your tribe but also to show up, serve, shift their perspectives, and transform their lives?  You can go that big! In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with Colin Boyd about the opportunities the online world has to offer. Colin Boyd is an international speaker and business mentor. He is passionate about serving people and helping them walk in the best version of themselves.  In this shifting economy, Colin talks about showing up on a virtual stage and serving your tribe in the biggest way possible. So make sure to lean in, take notes, and apply this to your life and to your business. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “To be on any stage, the content you share needs to be relevant.”   To be a successful entrepreneur, you have to make your content relevant and reach your audience. Within the first five minutes of your webinar or live event, your audience should be s

When things happen that are outside of our control, there are two very different paths we can take: Path #1: Give in to fear, hide away from your big vision, and blame your problems on the world. Path #2: RISE into your personal leadership, find the opportunity in your circumstances, and allow yourself to grow into the highest version of you, stronger than you were before. Which path will you choose? Whatever you decide, know this: how you show up today matters. Your reality 3 months from now, 6 months from now, years from now will be a reflection of how you show up today. Your thoughts and decisions right now are creating your future. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m sharing Part 3 of a series from the Rise Together Panel - Top Online Entrepreneurs Speak Out virtual event. Nine incredible 7-figure entrepreneurs grounded in their faith shared what they are doing in their businesses, lives, and families to RISE above the current circumstances and thrive. This week on Part 3 of the series

What if what was blocking your success was 100% in your control. What if you could “flip the switch” to success in your brain and things that used to be hard and confusing, just worked.  Wouldn’t you want to know how to do that? Well I can’t wait to tell you! But first I want to share something that might be hard to hear… and I have to share it anyway.  The reason you’re feeling stuck and the reason why you don’t see the success you’ve been dreaming of is...  Your brain isn’t wired for success... YET.  In other words - your brain is sabotaging your success and it’s getting in your way. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I talk with a special guest, Carl Allen, who specializes in mergers and acquisitions, buying and selling small businesses, and dealmaking.  Carl Allen is an Epic Success Academy graduate who learned and applied the NeuroCoaching Model™️ every step of the way. He learned how to flip that success switch on in his brain and has used that framework to grow his business to 7, then

Do you ever turn on the news and say under your breath “just give me the facts, please. No story. No spin. Just the facts, ma’am.” Yeah, so does your brain. Your brain will absorb and automate whatever you feed it: stories rooted in fear or facts and future success. How can we silence the opinions of others and just ground our thoughts in the truth? In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m doing a continuation of last week where I talked about How to Flip the Switch to Success and build a success pathway that pulls you to success from the inside out to now this week about the leadership of success. Right now, while the world collectively slows down, is the best time to manage your mind and learn to slow down to speed up. If you’re ready for that to be you, this episode is for you! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Leaders are made in tough times.”   Leadership looks different for everybody. It could be showing up for your family right now. It could be you believing your bus

Before you fall asleep at night, do you think about the person you want to be? Whether you want to be richer, healthier, more well known, fill in the blank... we’ve all been there.  I have a secret for you. Did you know that you don’t have to just go through the motions and daydream about the person you want to be? You can take back control and actually walk in confidence as the leader and person you want to be. It’s true, and you can! And I will tell you how.  In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I was interviewed by Hal Elrod on his Achieve your Goals Podcast. I had the opportunity to go back to the basics and deep dive into the brain based model, and to share with his tribe the power of walking as/into being the leader you’ve always wanted to be.  Whether you’ve been a part of my tribe for a while or you’re new here, this is for you! Grab your notebook and get ready to write because you’re going to want to put these brain based principles into practice!  The biggest take-aways from today’s e

Question: How can you use this season to flip the switch to success in your brain? Answer: Understand how you are wired, recognize how you may be cross-wired, and how to flip the switch so you have all the energy flowing towards success, vision, service, generosity, and the things that make a difference in the world. In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m doing a continuation of last week where I talked about How Mental Resilience Creates Success to now this week how to flip the switch in your brain and build a success pathway that pulls you to success from the inside out.  I believe God is preparing people in this time to step up to the next level of success. If you’re ready for that to be you, this episode is for you! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “What you think about you bring about.”   When seasons of uncertainty happen, all the emotions and thoughts in our subconscious surface that we have been otherwise outperforming. Now is the time to advocate for the future t

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 your focus from what you can’t control to what you can control that has the power to change everything in your life and business and create the success you deeply desire! What we can do is accept the new normal. Then we must commit to doing the work to train your brain to transform your business right now while the world has slowed down. Ready to level up and learn how to create mental resilience? Grab your pen & paper! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “There’s no better time to learn how to manage your mind and your thoughts than right now.” There’s no better time than now to create mental resil

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. Michael Hyatt’s new book, The Vision Driven Leader, will help you grow your organization using a simple, attractive, inspiring, and practical vision of the future. 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 vision and leadership! Grab a notebook and a pen and let’s dive in! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are: “Vision is clarity around a future state. Vision is a clear, inspiring, practi

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, years from now will be a reflection of how you choose to show up today. Your thoughts now are creating your future. In today’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m sharing Part 2 of a series from the Rise Together Panel -Top Online Entrepreneurs Speak Out  virtual event that I hosted 2 weeks ago. Nine incredible 7-figure entrepreneurs grounded in their faith shared what they are doing in their businesses, lives, and families to RISE above the current circumstances and thrive. This week on Part 2 of the series, you will hear from Christina Jandali, Erin Sanderson, and Pat Flynn as each of them break down what’s workin

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 thinking about what we need as entrepreneurs through this time and season, one anchoring thought kept coming to me: RISE Together.  In today’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m sharing Part 1 of a series from the Rise Together Panel -Top Online Entrepreneurs Speak Out virtual event that I hosted last week. Nine incredible 7-figure entrepreneurs grounded in their faith shared what they are doing in their businesses, lives, and families to RISE above the current circumstances and thrive. This week on Part 1 of the series, you will hear from: Jennifer Allwood, Rachel McMichael, and myself.  Each of us breaks down what

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 H1N1 and the previous market crash. The most uncertain of times - and they chose to RISE. In today’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I share three things you can do today to bulletproof your future. I am so impassioned to help you rise with resilience, uplevel during uncertainty, and become the creator of your thoughts and future now! Rise. Pivot. Start. Let this be the time when you choose to kill the ANTS (Automated Negative Thoughts) even when things are not in your control. Let’s dive in. The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “Resilience is not not having the fear.”   It’s natural that you ha

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 Epic Success Podcast, my guest, Dave Hollis, shares his powerful journey as a skeptic of growth and fulfillment. Dave just released his book, Get Out Of Your Own Way: a Skeptic’s Guide to Growth and Fulfillment, which outlines 20 lies he believed...and how he processed and moved past each of them over these past few years as he moved from a Disney Sales Executive to joining his wife, Rachel Hollis, in entrepreneurship. The Hollis company has grown from a team of 5 to now 65 in just two years! I know you will be able to relate to his stories in so many ways! Listen in as Dave shares a handful of the lies he once believe

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? Knitting tiny newborn hats? The Enneagram? Co-parenting through divorce? That thing, no matter how quirky or normal it may feel, is pure gold! My guest today on the Epic Success Podcast, Dean Graziozi, has spent his life obsessed with sharing knowledge and helping others share their knowledge in a valuable way. I’m sure his name is no stranger to you as he has partnered with Tony Robbins, helping hundreds of thousands of people turn their obsessions into impact and success through their KBB program. Just a head’s up: you cannot listen to this interview on 2x because both Dean & I have unmatched energy (which is definit

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 stumbled into this realization when I had my son. All of a sudden, running two businesses and raising a baby felt like something had to give. I started having an either/or conversation internally. That story I built in my mind was holding me back. In today’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, Tracy Harris interviewed me on her podcast, Mums With Hustle, and I share this origin story of becoming a mother, running businesses, and discovering ‘how to become the driver of my car instead of focusing on finding a new car’, continuing the metaphor. :) Tracy brought up so many great questions that allowed me to do what I love

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 could this personal insight lead to becoming an even better version of yourself? This week on the Epic Success Podcast I have the incredible Sarajane Case, aka @EnneagramAndCoffee here to explain the Enneagram and it’s brain-based connection with success. The Enneagram is such an amazing tool to explore your thoughts and step into being the creator of your thoughts as you discover what innately drives you. The more you understand about yourself, the better you can serve.  Buckle up for a fascinating discussion! The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:   “The Enneagram really invites us into a space of curiosity
