Chapter 1: What insights did Heather gain from her recent mastermind event?

12.203 - 38.602 Heather Monahan

Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me this week. Okay, so it's been a crazy, I don't even know, 10 days or something. And it goes back for me to having my in-person mastermind. I have an annual mastermind and twice a year bring everybody into Miami where we do... live coaching, training, working around speaking, have a great dinner.

0

38.722 - 63.055 Heather Monahan

But I'll tell you, when you have a few days like this, and I actually had my business partner was in town from L.A. I had some clients that I had actually never met in real life before were in town for a huge expo, a real estate expo. So I had to meet with them. I obviously I'm a mother and I had this big mastermind event and then I was leaving immediately for LA right after it. So for work.

Chapter 2: How does Heather manage overwhelming schedules?

63.115 - 79.826 Heather Monahan

So it's one of those windows in time where I was getting so stressed out leading up to it. Do you feel me on this? Right? Like you start freaking out thinking everything that you need to take care of. Obviously things are always going to go wrong. You know, there's going to be balls dropped, but obviously there's always going to be miracles that show up and amazing things that occur as well.

0

80.666 - 103.885 Heather Monahan

And I was super excited about a number of different things, but felt really overwhelmed thinking about the 10-day window. So what I've learned to do, I mean, you could tell me I'm crazy, but it does work, is I truly believe anything can happen in 24 hours. I've seen it my whole life. This was how I managed my media career, my teams, everything. I would remind everybody of this. Because...

0

104.625 - 121.918 Heather Monahan

Very last minute, we would get direction from clients, locations would change on meetings, flights would change and everything would change in 24 hours. So you had to be able to roll with the punches. And this is also some of the positive feedback I get from my speaking career now is that I'll just make whatever work, right?

0

121.958 - 136.651 Heather Monahan

So go into things with that attitude that whatever's gonna happen, whatever gets thrown at me, I'm gonna make it work. It's going to, whatever door closes, the better one's opening. There's gonna be some miracle as a result of whatever changes occur. So that's how I choose to approach things.

0

137.332 - 156.137 Heather Monahan

Again, still doesn't necessarily make it easier in the moment, but I kind of put a pin in things that I can. If something can hold off until after the chaos is over, put a pin in that and pick it back up when you're done with all the things right in front of you. But it can be overwhelming if you start fixating on all the things in a 10-day period you need to accomplish.

Chapter 3: What mindset shifts can lead to personal miracles?

156.177 - 175.575 Heather Monahan

So I really try to take things at a 24-hour window when you're in it. Leading up to it in the month ahead, you want to be planning things out a bit more. But as you get closer and closer to launch in those chaotic moments... Definitely take it day by day because, again, miracles are going to show up, amazing things are going to happen, and things are just going to change.

0

176.155 - 194.629 Heather Monahan

And in the end, it's all going to work out. So just keep looking for the solutions. Don't put your eyes, energy, and effort on the objections or challenges in front of you. Stay focused on the solutions and watch everything come together. So it's just, it's been a while, 10 days, and I'm so excited it's behind me.

0

194.989 - 215.42 Heather Monahan

Like, don't you feel so proud of yourself, accomplished, and grateful when it's all behind you? Granted, because of my approach to things, the way that I handle it, and because I definitely overschedule myself and commit to a lot of things, which in my opinion is If you really want to go to the next level, you're going to need to, you know, take on some work, right?

0

215.46 - 230.334 Heather Monahan

It's not, it might be simple to get ahead. It's not easy, right? You still have to make sacrifices, say no to different things and show up and go all in on the things that you decide to. So for me, you know, I'm in a phase right now where I've, taken on some major partnerships this year.

0

230.795 - 248.724 Heather Monahan

My new partner in LA, partners in Arizona, and of course, running my regular business and growing my regular business. So it's been an interesting dance. That's what I'll tell you, especially being on the West Coast so much this year. So flights are wild because, you know, you're kind of out of the game for a window of time. And And of course that can be frustrating.

248.744 - 268.333 Heather Monahan

You're like, oh my gosh, for six hours, I'm not in my home office and able to work on the things or I'm not out on the stage speaking and impacting people. You know, you can get frustrated or you can try to turn those windows of time into something beneficial. And that's what I'm trying to do. I've been trying to meditate on my flights. I've been doing my Mindvalley app, shout out to Vision.

268.853 - 270.794 Heather Monahan

So I've definitely been trying to

271.354 - 298.788 Heather Monahan

make good use of those times but when you get back and you're out of the window i'm out of the window right now right i'm back home i'm home for the next two weeks which is well i think i am who knows if i really will be but at least for one week i know for sure i'm home and now it's catch-up time now it's all the emails that i'd kind of been putting off all the follow-up i'd kind of been putting off i call it put a pin in something if it's not a major priority and you have other priorities put a pin in it let them know you're traveling you're

298.948 - 312.214 Heather Monahan

you're out of pocket for two weeks, and you'll be back in touch. I've been doing that. Now, of course, the podcast is going to be, you know, I'm going to be hearing from my podcast team, where are all the new interviews? Well, there aren't any right now. I need to start creating some, right?

Chapter 4: How can surrounding yourself with the right people fuel success?

312.234 - 329.706 Heather Monahan

So you have to hit the gas pedal on certain parts of your business, certain parts of your life, and then you're going to be pulling off in other areas, right? So I'm not going out as much with my friends or meeting people or, you know, I'm going all in on the business side. My son thankfully is in such a great place in his life right now. I'm able to do that.

0

330.126 - 347.189 Heather Monahan

But as you know, if you've been with me for a while during COVID, I had to walk away from everything else and go all in on my child because he needed me, right? So there's going to be ebbs and flows. Timing will change and be different. Whatever's happening right now will not stay. And for me personally, I know that, and I wanna share this with you.

0

348.11 - 362.674 Heather Monahan

These last 10 days, I just realized there's always better ways to do something, right? So the way I had run my in-person training last year, I did it in such a better way this year, but I didn't know till I tried it, right? You have to test and try different things.

0

362.694 - 381.785 Heather Monahan

You have to walk away from partners or situations that are no longer serving you to give something else a chance to see if there's a better way to do it. And it's not always gonna work out ideally, But I do promise you this, if you listen to yourself, if you ask God, the universe for answers, you're going to find them. You're going to find better ways.

0

382.245 - 399.862 Heather Monahan

And then the biggest thing I can tell you is this, people will show you the solutions. Meaning I've learned this so much this year from my partner in LA. It's not about the how, it's about the who. We just have to find the person that's already done it, the person that's already doing it at a higher level than we are, the person that's the expert on it.

400.302 - 414.454 Heather Monahan

Tap them and have them plug and play what their solution is into our business, our company, our life, and watch everything take off. And it's so, so true. And I keep seeing this time and time again. So I'm constantly focused on the who.

414.795 - 435.026 Heather Monahan

And I'll tell you, one of the ways to find the who is to put yourself in community with people that are in different industries than you, have different perspectives, are different parts of the country than you. They're going to be having different experiences, different networks of people. Don't just stay in your little network. I did that in the media business for 20 years.

435.106 - 454.453 Heather Monahan

I stayed with my head down in my little media network. And yeah, on the outside, people would think it probably looked like a huge industry and that's great. No, it's terrible because I was just circling the drain, staying with the same people, not getting access to new information, not pushing myself to learn and get to know different networks of people, different industries.

454.493 - 472.642 Heather Monahan

So please let me challenge you to push you to go to the next level. Get yourself in some new environments. Inner Fifth is the company that I'm partnered with in LA. And I'll tell you the amount I've been... now partnered with my partner Tracy for three months, three and a half months, four months.

Chapter 5: What role does community play in personal and professional growth?

Chapter 6: How can investing in yourself lead to transformation?

Chapter 7: Why is finding the right 'who' more important than knowing the 'how'?

727.425 - 750.745 Heather Monahan

It's just, it's funny when you're in school, when we're younger, I wasn't so hyped about learning. And now after having been in that corporate environment, you know, for 20 years, I really wasn't learning that much. I And today I'm getting so much new information, so much new access. My speaking partners now on the speaking side of my business are completely challenging me.

0

750.925 - 763.313 Heather Monahan

Asked me if I would give a Christian talk, which I had never done before. And immediately I said yes, right? Like I love... that on the speaking side of my business, I'm running with people who are light years ahead of me, the best speaker in the world. I'm so grateful for that.

0

763.373 - 783.123 Heather Monahan

And then on my community side of the business in LA, I'm running with a woman who sold companies for hundreds of millions of dollars and is light years ahead of me there. Get yourself around people who have done the things you want to do. End of story. Right? Hard stop. If you're not with those people, you've got to seek them out. You've got to make an investment in yourself.

0

783.364 - 802.673 Heather Monahan

You've got to go serve and support those people to gain access. And when you do, watch yourself take off. I have seen it time and time again, and I'm living it right now with myself. Yes, it can be exhausting. Yes, it can be challenging to push yourself. But what's more challenging? To be sitting in the same chair that you're in right now next year?

0

803.433 - 820.962 Heather Monahan

saying, why did I waste another year not going for my dreams, not pushing myself to my potential? We are here on this planet for a finite period of time. No one knows how much time we have. Live your life to your potential. Do the next right thing. Amplify your voice. Elevate your personal brand.

821.102 - 841.997 Heather Monahan

Allow people to get to know, like, and trust you before they've ever met you so you can start having a positive impact on their life. The world needs your light. You are here for a reason. And the frequency and voice and energy you have is going to be unique and special to you. And there are people out there that are waiting for you to connect with them. Take this as your sign.

842.538 - 866.833 Heather Monahan

Now is the time for you to move. Okay, so I want to get into a couple of things that I learned actually out in one of my events this week or last week in LA. For our community, we brought in the lead AI person from Google. to teach and train our team. And I actually had one of my girlfriends who is an incredible expert in AI, one of the world's best.

866.873 - 887.062 Heather Monahan

And she sat in there and when she was done, she said to me, I'm completely blown away. So this is a lead expert in AI. We were being coached and trained by another lead expert in AI. And my friend, who's one of the best in the world, she said, I don't know a fraction of what this person does, right? No matter how far along you think you are, there's always someone else we can learn from.

887.423 - 904.676 Heather Monahan

There's always another vantage point we can gain access to or perspective that we don't have, a training that we needed to help us put that puzzle together so that we can go to that next level. Never think you've maxed out on knowledge because we certainly have not. So I'm just going to give you at a high level some of the things that we learned. Jeez, it's incredible.

Chapter 8: What lessons did Heather learn from her experiences in AI training?

1585.861 - 1606.017 Heather Monahan

Why is it that you want it? And who do you need to be to start receiving it? And I just thought that was a really, really cool equation. Then he got into mind movies, which if you haven't seen this work, Joe Dispenza, has us in his book, Supernatural. There's a company out there called Mind Movies. I had never actually done a Mind Movie or seen one in real time. He shared his with us.

0

1606.177 - 1626.571 Heather Monahan

He has done over 10 different Mind Movies. They're super easy to do, by the way. Very simple. Maybe I'll actually do a live video on this to show you guys how to do it at some point, but let me know if you want to see that. I was blown away by how simplistic it was and the testimonial he gave to us in regards to the impact of Phenomenal impact that it's had on his life.

0

1626.731 - 1644.889 Heather Monahan

That's like a real hard and fast overview of the past 10 days and just some of the insights I took away, which have blown me away. Get in the room with the people who are doing the things that you want to do. Access the information you haven't accessed yet. it is going to change you fundamentally. It is going to change your business fundamentally. It is going to change the way that you think.

0

1645.469 - 1665.295 Heather Monahan

Don't find yourself one year from now sitting in the same place saying, why didn't I take action? So often I meet people and they say, yeah, Heather, you got fired. You were lucky. That pushed you to make change. But I'm the one that chooses to keep making change every day, right? Don't take it as a, oh, that person could do it because of here's why, or here's why that person can't.

0

1665.435 - 1680.993 Heather Monahan

Those are excuses. Start saying, how can I challenge myself to invest in me? How can I challenge myself to get in different rooms? How can I challenge myself to go to the next level? I'll always share with you, you know, InterFIF is a phenomenal female entrepreneur community. I will link it in the show notes below.

1681.373 - 1700.881 Heather Monahan

That is definitely one of the ways that you can join one of my communities for sure. My mastermind is full for this year, so I cannot put you in there. But I do have boot camps right now that I have been running over the last couple of months and the success and life changing momentum that I'm seeing right and these participants is nothing short of miraculous.

1700.961 - 1721.902 Heather Monahan

And a big part of it is that discipline and that accountability of showing up every week, knowing you've got a team counting on you, knowing you've got a team of people like-minded to you that are running at a fast level, sharing their goals and going for more and watching others take off only pushes you to move faster. do more and get to your next level.

1721.922 - 1735.749 Heather Monahan

1735.769 - 1751.177 Heather Monahan
