Thoughts are not facts, they're just random. So thoughts are random, thinking is not. So anytime that you're feeling low vibe, it's just that your thoughts are disempowered at the moment.
So anytime that you're having an off day or whatever the case may be, it's just feedback to let you know that your thoughts are out of whack, they're disempowering, and you can literally be mindful, acknowledge that, and then go in and replace them with more productive, constructive, strategic thoughts.
Once you really become mindful of it and aware, which really changed everything for me, you can be strategic, which thoughts you allow to take up real estate inside your mind. That changes everything.
Wow, what an unbelievable introduction. Usually I'm the one dishing them out on the podcast, but I'm so excited to be here. We've become really good friends. And every time we get together, we create magic. So let's get nuts.
Yeah. First of all, I love that you said that a closed mouth doesn't get fed. It's one of my favorite expressions. Also, you can't lose what you don't have. Right. And one of the ways that I got that strategy was by listening to your awesome podcast. And you always preach that stuff to things. How can you provide value? Right. Like start the conversation with that.
And then obviously you have to ask. You have to take a swing. So we're in alignment with both these things.
Yeah, this is going to get real deep, real quick. Between me and you and obviously all your listeners, it's like, I don't fear death at this point in my life. What I fear most is not living life on my terms and not making the most of every second and take advantage of opportunities and make an impact and contribute.
So any great idea or any way I could facilitate the growth of the brand, which enables us to make an impact and so forth is I'm all for it. And I don't really see fear in asking if somebody were to say no, whatever the case would be. And spoiler, it's not my business what anybody thinks of me. I'm sure there's people out there that don't love me, as I'm sure.
Hard to believe, but there might be people out there that doesn't love Heather. But it is what it is. And let's just be honest. There's people out there that we don't love. It is what it is. So you got to take a shot. You got to take a swing. And you have to have a sense of urgency and make every second count.
A hundred percent. And for being on Wall Street for 10, 11 years, like spoiler alert, like not every sale gets closed on the first ask, right? Sometimes you build a pipeline, you plant your seeds just as you attested to. And ultimately it's the long game mentality. And when I say long game, it's not to scare the audience.
Like it takes three to five years, but it's just that get first downs, get first down, sprinkle, plant some seeds and so forth. And they usually always pay off. If not, then then it comes back around when it's mutually beneficial. And obviously the other person sees it as a win-win. Timing is everything.
I just got to a place, Heather, where I was straight up miserable. Like, yes, it was lucrative, but as it turns out, and I'm sure you can attest to, success isn't measured only by how much money you make, right? Like for me, this season, it's measured by how happy I am or how big of an impact I make. And I was in a dark place. I had a bunch of things going on at once.
And ultimately, in the beginning of the pandemic, when there was a lockdown and I shut down my office, and I really grounded myself for the first time, maybe ever, and ask myself those deep, powerful questions, I realized I don't want this lockdown to end because I don't want to go back. It felt like hell. I was waking up, going to a J-O-B, even though lucrative and my own business, but for what?
What's the point? And this ties back to that deep analogy. There's a eulogy exercise that I recently posted on social media And it goes back to the concept of death. And I really got deep with myself. And I was like, if this was it for me, like in a couple of weeks, like what would people say about at my funeral? Like, yes, I had some good relationships, some good friends, family, and so forth.
But did I leave a legacy? Did I really contribute? Did I make an impact? Did I put a dent in the universe? And the tough answer was no. And then I started to ask myself, well, what would make me happy? What am I good at? And from studying personal development for so long, I was able to put together a strategy that, essentially combine making an impact and making a living.
And what I love is personal development. And what I happen to be gifted at is being a communicator. And so I said, I don't want to be the next Tony Robbins. I want to be the first Craig Siegel. I don't know for certain that this thing's going to work. I have no online business experience, but I'm willing to try if it meant not going back. And I went all in straight up.
I don't want this to come across as arrogant because it's not. But ultimately, when I see spaces that are saturated, as they say, you can look at it from two different perspectives, right? I think most people, sadly, probably look at it and think oversaturation, I'll never have a chance, right? I'll just be a spoke on the wheel.
But as a trailblazer and somebody that believes in themselves and is more importantly, willing to put in the work to improve, I said to myself, you know what, it's a saturated space, but that's a good thing because there's always room for the best. And it just means there's a market for it. Right. And I love personal development.
Like it comes natural to me, like waking up every day and sharpening the ax and consuming positive content and learning how to revamp our mindset and learn about the law of attraction. Like, This isn't work to me. This conversation is not work to me. I genuinely love this stuff. And I said, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I will pay the price and I'll negotiate the price in advance.
Meaning I understand it will get challenging because I don't have all the experience of the online space. but I'm willing to do the work, so to speak. And I just went nuts. And obviously, I was intentional and strategic with the people I collaborated with, with the relationships I formed. But ultimately, when I see something that's really saturated, I challenge the audience listening today.
