Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Dream It, Bet On It, Build It with Candace Nelson, Founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes

You talk a lot about what makes you unique or different could be your power.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

Can you share a little bit of insight into that?

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

That's crazy.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

I believe, and I don't know where I heard this, but I know it to be true, that if you're having an idea, some idea comes to you from wherever, and you're holding that idea for a moment, that idea is going to somebody else at the same time, somewhere in the world.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

I don't know where it may be.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

You have that opportunity, just like they will, to act upon it and do something with it, do nothing, do it your own unique way, do a better way, whatever, that's all up to you, or do nothing.

But if you don't do anything like this person potentially did that was in line at Sprinkles, that probably did have an idea that, hey, that would be so cool, but I'm too busy doing investment faking or whatever, I'm not going to go spend time doing this.

I'll never forget when I wrote my first book, Confidence Creator, the idea came to me, the title and the goal of the book.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

And I remember thinking in that moment, if I don't do this right now, somebody else is going to do it.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

And I'm going to be so pissed at myself when I read their book.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

Like I was putting myself in that lady's shoes standing in your line.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

And that drove me to say, go do it.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Dream It, Bet On It, Build It with Candace Nelson, Founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes

And what's funny is another woman, well, I mean, there's two other women that wrote books

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

They weren't the same thing, but it was similar goal to empower people to build confidence within different titles, whatever, that came out within three months of each other.

And again, you don't know which one will be the right one, but you're never going to know if you don't take that small step to move it forward, to figure out what does it take to keep going.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

And who knows, like you say in the book, if it's going to work, you have to test the market and you take everybody through the steps they're going to have to actually deploy to figure those things out.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

But don't.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

Doing nothing will ensure you are standing in somebody else's dream in the future or piss that you didn't move forward with it.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

So you did have this massive vision when you started this out.

I did not know that.
