And I tagged him because I don't know that anyone would know I got the idea from him, but I was just saying like, hey, I got this idea from him. I told it through, my story is so different than his, right? Like he's in the gym and fitness world. I've been in the media world. Like, We are not competitors, right? But I thought, you know what? I could add value.

There's so many here. I mean, I can't keep up. Wall Street Journal, that was a big one. And also Forbes Agency Council. Let me just say, Melanie, thank you for coming back on the show today. Thanks for having me back, Heather.

Yeah, it's just paying attention to what's out there working. Data doesn't lie. It informs you. And you can take that information and reimagine it for your feet. OK, this is something that I love. You have really leaned into AI in a big way.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And it's, wow, the amount of time savings that you have, the amount of content you can pump out, the e-books that you're doing, the calendars that you're doing. I'm blown away. But another way that you blew me away was through your daughters. And for those of you that don't know, Melanie has young daughters.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And as Melanie and I create content all the time and work together in many different ways, we offer programs together, we do consulting together for companies, and we podcast together, and we're friends. So we're on video a lot together. I was so blown away by the example you showed me of what your daughter could do with a recording of you and I and the traction that we got off it.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
So I was hoping you could share with everybody so people understand how simple it really is to create content today.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
10 years old and creating content that we actually use. Guys, this is not something that was like a throwaway that was funny. No, we used it because it was so good, right? So literally your children can go ahead and create content for you. It's that simple through the tools that Melanie teaches on, that Melanie exposes people to and teaches me about all the time.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And I am blown away how simple creating content actually is now just from conversations. And I've seen you do the same thing with these eBooks that you've created. And if you could share with everybody a little bit about how you're pumping out eBooks for your clients now.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
So really now there's no excuse for anyone. Anyone could create an ebook and guys just, you know, go to heathermonigan.com. I literally have not updated my ebook in years. I need to now that you're telling me it's this easy. But I just haven't thought about it, but everybody should have an ebook.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And here's why guys, as you build an audience, as you build a community on social media, by showing up as yourself, raising your hand and exposing people to who you are, because people do business with people they know, like, and trust, right? So we want to show up as ourselves online as a real human, not an AI bot.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And as we do that, we want to send those people back to our sphere, back to our website, back to us. our own proprietary tools and services, our ebook.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And so an ebook is a great conversion mechanism, whether you're going on podcasts or posting about it on social media so that you can take that audience and bring them back to your MailChimp, back to your texting community, back to your website, wherever you wanna keep that audience.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
The reason why I encourage this, as much as I love all social media, any social media can choose to kick you off at any point in time, can be bought by somebody else, can shut down at any point in time. Anything can happen. Again, we don't control that. And we're a user. We're power users. We love it.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
But we also want to make sure that we're bringing that community somewhere else so that we can offer them our services, add value to their lives and keep that community wherever else we go. What are some of the other things that you do to help move your audience off of the social media platforms?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
For anyone that's like, well, I don't have a book and I don't know that I ever want to write a book. That's okay. You know what? You just might want to elevate your presence in business. You might want to elevate beyond your industry so that people can start seeing who you are.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
Then they're going to find different ways that they can get ahold of you and they can reach out to you to offer you jobs, to offer you partnerships, to offer you brand partnerships. It's incredible the opportunities that will come to you once you raise your hand and expose people to who you are and start adding value. That is the key.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
You don't need to know you're going to write a book in the future or look for this incredible deal down the road. Just start positioning yourself for as much success as possible. And to me, that's really about sales 101, letting people get to know, like, and trust you. And the easiest... way to do that is really through LinkedIn, the way that I see it in business.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
It's worked incredibly well for me. It's worked incredibly well for Melanie. And so, Melanie, what are some of the other big questions people are coming to you and asking you currently?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And sales 101, a closed mouth does not get fed back to the Bible that written in the Bible. A closed mouth does not get fed. You have to raise your hand and ask for what you want. There's many different ways to do that. My entire career has been in sales and sales leadership. I love walking people through how selling is helping.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
When you deny people by not sharing the value that you can bring to their life, to their business, you are harming them. They may need you more than you even know. And so often people will say, especially women, I don't want to be salesy. I don't want to hit people over the head. Well, I'd like to flip the script on that and say, then, so you want to deny these people the problem that you solve?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
That's really kind of crappy, right? So I always give myself that talk anytime I feel like, oh, am I being too promotional? No, I need to remind myself that people have needs. And if we don't share with them how we can solve a problem, they're not going to get their need fixed, their problem solved. That's just crappy. We need to make the world a better place.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And the way we do that is bringing our light forward, our talents forward, packaging and offering those things to create solutions for others. And I remember when I first started doing this years ago on LinkedIn and sharing with people like, I have a new book. I have a podcast I want you to listen to. At first, I would feel a little awkward, and then I'd start getting messages back.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
Thank you so much for sharing that episode, Heather. That was awesome. It helped me right before I went into this meeting. It helped me when I was trying to get promoted. You start seeing I'm adding value. When you offer those solutions to the wrong people, they'll fall away. That's okay. Those aren't your people.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
But as you continually share the things that you can teach, that you can build on, that you can help people with, you'll attract more and more of those people and help them solve their problems. So that's one of the things that we want to talk about today. We are so often asked, how can people work with us? I can't afford to work with you one-on-one. It's too expensive.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
So Melanie and I have put together a 2024 Wrap Up 2024 as the best way and best packaging gift for yourself. The last eight weeks of 2024, we are going to be live on Zoom in this bootcamp community only with women. It's the first time we've ever done this. Women only. here's the things that we've heard from you. And we've listened too often. People are like you doing a two day event.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
It's an, I can't make those dates or it's not enough time. So we decided to do eight weeks so that everybody can see the progress that they're making. We can hold the team accountable.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
We can teach and come back the next week to answer the questions so that people can work through in real time and find ways to get the feedback that they're looking for and get critiqued and make those twists and turns that they need to define success and to do it over an eight week period and There is time there to see growth.

And with two different teachers, Melanie and myself coming from very different backgrounds, having achieved very different things, Melanie's got the most incredible marketing background and marketing strategies. She's so dialed in with AI. She brings so much forward around content creation, around managing things and ideas that I have no skill set in.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

Oh, there's no doubt about it. And I love when we do it in the power of a collective. And guys, what I mean by that is, listen, you can go out for a run by yourself and have a good run and feel good about your workout.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
When you go out for a run with a team of 10 or 20 people that you run with once a week, there is this level of accountability and wanting to push yourself further to wanting to run faster, wanting to get to the front of the pack. The power of collective builds momentum like nothing else.

You never perform well for me, Melanie. It's such a weird thing because my feed does well, but every time I posted a video, it's like, it's such an anomaly if it ever does well. It doesn't seem to.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And when you put yourself in those arenas with people who want you to win, who are cheering for you, who are champions for you and are running at a higher level with you, suddenly you are running so much faster. You've seen this too, Melanie, haven't you?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

When you sign up, we're going to get you an onboarding doc to get crystal clear on your goals because that's the first step. We want you writing down exactly what it is that you want to achieve. And again, we're not talking about, you know, getting the job of your life or starting your business tomorrow. We need to build out the plan.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
We need to teach you the steps and tips and tricks that you need to implement in your life to make that happen. But first, you need to get clear. You need to own it and you need to own it in front of the team. And as you do that, you are going to hold yourself accountable. You We're all going to get on the same page. We're all going to be behind you.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And just writing it down and sharing it amongst others is one of the most powerful steps you can do. Investing in yourself is one of the most powerful steps you can do. When I first got fired, I invested in myself and I hired my editor for my book. And the day that I spent that money on him, I knew I was like, I'm worth this. I am worth investing in me.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And I am not going to fumble around for years trying to figure out what somebody who's done something successfully 19 times has done. I'm going to pay the money so that I can leapfrog everybody else and have a book done in five months, not in five years. And that book came out five months later and went number one, Trump, Donald Trump for number one in the business biography list.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And yes, I had the screenshot for that. I invested in myself again when I hired Peter Economy to write my book proposal for me. I didn't want to waste time. I knew if I wanted to land a major publishing deal, I needed a major book proposal. I spent a ton of money on that investment and I landed a huge deal with HarperCollins Leadership. Thank you.

It's interesting when you talk about haters, right? And so for myself for a long time, when I was in corporate, I was in the C-suite, I never posted back then for fear of what other people would say, for fear of negativity coming out.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And I know a lot of people listening right now to the show are thinking that, like, yeah, you guys, you've made businesses out of it, I get it, but I don't wanna have to go through people hating on me. And I'll tell you what I've learned, and I actually wrote a chapter about this in my second book, is that there is being negative people everywhere.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
If you're not getting haters, you've got a problem. It means you're not reaching enough people or you're not being your unique self. That's not for everybody. I am not vanilla. So I actually try to celebrate when I see some haters coming my way, throwing shade at me, which they do, right? They will come out and make the weirdest comments in the world.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And sometimes I'll leverage that and like highlight it to make a joke about it. Like, well, and here we go with people not liking what I post again. You know, I'll say something about it. I don't ever say a person's name. So I'll use it to my benefit to keep further engagement going, or I just respectfully don't respond. I don't respond to negativity.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
But what I've learned is I don't need to take it personally. I don't need to go home and cry in my soup about it because that's about them. It's not about me. And for any person that is going to get excited about throwing negativity at someone they don't even know behind a computer screen, those aren't my people. And I'm fine with that. How do you handle when you receive negativity online?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
i'm ready for my close-up hi and welcome back i'm so glad you're back here with me this week okay so you know it's so rare that i have someone on multiple times but today we are back on with my friend melanie borden let me give you a little background on my girl melanie she's the founder and ceo of the boarding group she utilizes strategies and tools she developed for herself to assist founders c-suite executives and leaders in aligning their real life expertise with their linkedin presence unlocking opportunities and building relationships at scale this is what she did
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
So it's so interesting because people will say like, oh yeah, you guys can say that because you have followings on LinkedIn. So of course it makes sense for you, but I don't have the time to do it. Or I didn't start seven years ago, which is when I started. I understand. But if seven years ago was the right time to start, now is the only time. And I also like to go back to the example.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
I started before you. However, you've grown your community the same size as mine in a shorter window. Like sometimes people lose sight of that. Just because one person did one thing doesn't mean you can't do 10X that, 20X that, 50X that. You don't know until you start showing up and trying.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And the other thing I would add to that is to my own question that I have just asked myself as a podcast host, Heather, that's really impressive. The other thing I would add to that is that, you know, when you want to reach out to someone and you don't know today for everyone listening, because I didn't know I was getting fired, right? You don't know what tomorrow holds.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
You don't know if COVID is coming next. Like you don't know what weird, crazy thing could happen. We get fired. The whole world could change. We don't know. Set yourself up for success no matter what happens. And the one thing that you can do differently than everyone else is elevate, raise your hand, be yourself, let the world start to get to know you.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And the best way to do that, I find for business is through LinkedIn, because instead of dealing with a one-to-one conversation with everybody, I get to have a one-to-many conversation. You can have a conversation one-to-millions instead of having to you know, single out individuals.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And that's how I even got into the whole concept of LinkedIn, you know, seven years ago was for my C-suite position because I couldn't find enough talented executives to come on my team. Cause I thought, you know what? I'm not reaching enough people going one-to-one. I've got to start going one-to-many. And so I started elevating my presence, which had a whole domino effect in a different way.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
that changed everything for me. But the point is this, you've gotta have a profile where you show up, you've got recommendations and reviews of your work. You have a face, like you have a profile picture. P.S. keep it fresh. I just updated my profile picture. Like you need to change it once a year. Like you need to show up and be a real human online
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
so that people know you're not an AI bot, which that's a whole other conversation that's happening very often right now. But show up and be that real version of you. Let people get to know you and watch how you start attracting partnership. You start attracting businesses. You start attracting clients. You start attracting employees to you. And it's a lot easier than chasing people down.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
Have you found that same thing with your personal brand?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
for herself faster than anyone I've ever seen. Her work as a marketing executive naturally led her to recognize the potential of online marketing strategies in developing both corporate and personal brand. If you don't have a personal brand, let me tell you, you need one. The truth is you already have one, but start holding the pen and taking control of it. We're gonna get into that today.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And you never know what you're missing. I just remember I was in the media business for over 20 years. I only knew the media business. I only knew people in the media business. And what I didn't realize was there was this whole speaking business, which was a multi-billion dollar business. Outside of my arena, we just didn't pay speakers in the arena I was in.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
I didn't understand there was a place where I could take my talents and skills outside of my arena and make more money if I would go put a toe in it, right? So I luckily got fired. So I figured that out the hard way. But for anyone listening right now, you don't even know where you might have opportunity, where your unique skillset could make you more money.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
And that's why at an arena like LinkedIn is so important. You're gonna start being exposed to people in all different industries and start learning. Wait, I can do that too. And I can do it better than that guy. Wait a minute, maybe I should start taking a look at that.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
It's really gonna open your mind to different revenue streams, different business opportunities and different partnerships for you. Okay, one of the things that people get tripped up on, you know this Melanie better than anyone because you've worked with so many clients around this point, Well, what can I post? I don't have anything. I'm not you. I don't know how to do that. I didn't get fired.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
I don't have some big story to tell. What do you say to these people that feel like, I just don't know what to create?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
Okay, Melanie's expertise spans a range of areas, including marketing oversight, building in-house agencies, budgeting, strategic vendor utilization, enhancing digital footprints through social media, reputation management, online monetization, and managing advertising processes. She has been featured in publications such as Entrepreneur, LA Weekly, Good Morning America, Daily Mail, CXO Outlook.

And look to different people. I look at your feed to steal ideas and you know, it's not, I'm not stealing what you're writing. I'll get inspo from you, but you're like the master of reintroduction. And every time I see you do that, it reminds me, Heather, go do a reintroduction post. I'm not reintroducing myself as Melanie Borden.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
I reintroduced myself as Heather Monahan, but I'm doing it because I'm inspired by, you know what? That did well for me. That was smart, right? Like too often, I think people get caught up in this idea of I have to create the singular most unique thing in the world. Let me just drop this on you, everybody, right now. There has not been an original piece of creation since the Bible, okay?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
Everything is a knockoff of the Bible since the Bible. That's how I feel about it, right? So don't get too caught up. And the other example I'll give you that's more unique to today, Sarah Blakely invented space. I don't think Kim Kardashian lost sleep over inventing skins. Skims is basically Spanx, people. It's branded different and it's set up for Kim's community, right?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
But it's like, it's shapewear for under your clothes if you're a woman, Spanx. But no one's sitting out there saying, oh, that's terrible. They're saying, no, innovation, reinvention, new marketing, right? Like don't get tripped up on this idea that everything has to be so incredibly original. I'm also not suggesting you literally steal someone's feed. That's probably not a good look either.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
But you know what? I'll go to Alex Hermosi. Like I have 10 people that I follow on LinkedIn all the time that I'm always scrolling and checking out what they're doing for inspiration. They're like in my arena. Alex Hermosi is one of them. And I saw this thing he did the other day. He wrote 10 years of wins, 10 years of losses. I'm paraphrasing. the post killed it. You could see it.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: SKYROCKET Your Success by Using THESE TOOLS At Your Fingertips with Melanie Borden
Millions and millions of views. And I'm like, Heather, that's a sign. Data doesn't lie. If Alex Hermosi could do that through the lens of his experience, Heather Monaghan can do that through the lens of hers. So I said, 10 wins in 10 years, 10 losses, just like he had, right? And at the end, I put, thanks for the inspo.

I love that you shared the importance or how our brain works around different times of the day. Because when you were talking about working out, if I don't get my workout in the morning and I love working out, it is not happening. I've had situations where work called for me to, you know, there wasn't a window to work out. And I will say to myself repeatedly, you're going to work out tonight.

I'm like, ask me again tomorrow morning at 630 a.m. when we wake up. I can find it in three minutes.

As everyone listening knows, you know, my old life was very much corporate America. Never. I thought people who talked about manifestation were on drugs or hippies and just... I truly did not. I thought that was them. They're over there. And I'm part of the hardworking population driving value in the US. I just saw that as so separate from me.

And so through this whole journey since getting fired, I've opened my mind to a lot of different things. And I 100% believe in manifestation. And that's something that you've worked with me on. And I'll tell you, You know, I've watched The Secret. I've read all these different books.

And, you know, again, all this information goes back hundreds and hundreds of years, if not probably thousands and thousands of years that I haven't accessed yet. But one profound statement that you made to me that helped turn the switch on for me. And I don't know if anyone's struggling with this. Maybe this will help them. I was saying to you when we were in a session.

The other thing you mentioned that I find really interesting is sunk cost fallacy. And for anyone that doesn't really understand what that means, so often, whether it be in a relationship or in a business, we say, I've got 10 years in on this. I can't, I know I'm not happy.

I said, I just don't understand. It seems fleeting. Like once in a while it will happen, but I don't have control over it. I don't know how to make it happen on the regular. I feel like I'm blessed at a certain moment or time it could happen, but I still don't know what I'm doing. You know, it's not methodical and I don't have a handle on it. And I want to have a handle on it.

And you said to me, do you know what your purpose is? And I think you called it divine timing is why you're here on this planet. And I said, of course I do. Yes, I know exactly what it is. And you said, do you see that certainty and that conviction that you have in that? I said, yes.

I can't walk away now because that's basically saying the last 10 years I was wrong or that it's a waste or there's gotta be, I can't do that now. There's too much invested in this. And sunk cost fallacy is so interesting to me. I've done it in relationships before. I'm four years into this. I can't give up now. It makes absolutely no sense.

#503 Radical Self-Confidence + A Different Take on Perfectionism; Best of Lisa Bilyeu, Katherine Morgan Schafler, and Tania Lester
For me, I've spent my entire life white knuckling and working so hard, doing the last bit that you just said, but trying to figure out how to make it happen. So all this time I was spending all this effort and angst on something that I should have been letting go of.

every time I've had that internal dialogue with myself, and of course, eventually something will happen or I'll have an epiphany that I do need to make that change. And after I do, I have this moment where I sit down and say, yet again, here I am again, because so many of us have patterns in our life. I stayed too long. And so that's dialogue I'm constantly aware of now.

I like that idea of revisiting and constantly reevaluating what those goals are and accepting that what was working for you even two years ago just might not be working anymore anymore. And that's okay. I remember just growing up that it was this one path and it was corporate America and that's all I ever thought of. So when I was in it, it was tunnel vision.

And It's so important that we say, we don't have to check the box and go to college and go to corporate America and get this prize. We can actually instead pick our head up and say, what suits me now? Just like that conversation that you had with your husband. And I so appreciate you sharing that.

For the moments when he feels low in the middle of a basketball game, he can look down on his shoe and remember how strong and the potential that he really has within him.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And I do that now whenever I'm going into a big speaking engagement or something I'm getting nervous for. I always write on the bottom of my heels, I can, I will. Okay, back to the question. So knowing what you know now, what affirmations would you share with the world? Here's the thing. It depends on the person. It depends on the situation, right? So for me, I always do, I can, I will.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And I also, I'm a creature of habit, but I like repetitive things. When I do that, it means I'm about to kill something, like really do a great job. And that routine helps me ground myself and feel really confident walking into a situation. So I do suggest that you write
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
consistent message when you're nervous, when you're going to the next level, when you're going for that big speech or that big ask, because the more you do it and it goes well, it's proof that the future instances that you take the same tactic and apply it will work out to your advantage as well. So it starts cuing and priming your brain that this is going to work. This is going to go well.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
So that's my thoughts on, you know, what I would write, but you need to write what works for you. Like if I can, I will, doesn't resonate with you. Do not use it. Use something that does resonate with you. I am confident. I am enough. I am smart. I am creative. I am powerful. right? I use different things in different situations. The constant for me is big speaking engagements. I can, I will.

And then when I wash my hands 9 million times a day, like I'm sure you do because of the coronavirus, I say all kinds of positive things and I state my claims. My show has 9 million downloads this year. My new book is a number one New York Times bestseller. I am confident. I am creative. You know, I say a number of different things to myself when I wash my hands.

Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
I wanna manage my time in a smarter way where I go and do one event that can turn into 100 or 200 or 300 events, right? It just makes sense. So when we approach our business in that way, and I didn't know about this idea or how some speakers did it like this until recently. It's just been in the past couple of months that I've learned there was a much better way to grow the speaking business.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
But, you know, frequency cells and whatever you say to yourself a lot is going to stick and it's going to make an impact. So make sure it is positive. Negative words are more powerful than positive words. So cut them from your vocabulary. Okay. You are a leader amongst females in the workforce.

In a corporate world and in sectors where men predominantly have the upper hand, how can women compete or surpass a man? Oh, my gosh. I have done that my whole life, my whole career, right? So I don't look at it as, oh, I'm a woman. I guess I can't do this or that. F that. That's ridiculous. It's best person for the job. The marketplace will determine your value. Focus on what you're great at.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
Focus on your attributes. Align yourself with people that are there to support you, cheer you on, challenge you to grow. Invest in yourself. Put yourself out there. Shine your light. Just go bigger. And as you do those things, you'll build momentum. You'll pick up speed. You'll create
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
experience and then you'll create expertise and then you'll become known and then you'll grow your network and then you'll build on that and start showing up in press as an expert because you pitch yourself, you put yourself out there, you know, you do all these different things. And over time, you elevate yourself. None of this stuff, by the way, happens overnight.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
So it certainly has not happened overnight. For me, it's been over a four-year period. But what I want you to know is that you can do it. You can probably do it faster. Oh, here's a great example of doing something faster.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
One of my clients who's been working with me for a month, I've been working with her on really going bigger, shining her light, and going to the next level, and we're leveraging LinkedIn to help her do that. Wouldn't you know, this week she had a post go viral. Now, I want you to know, for me, it took me a couple of years before I had a post ever go viral. It didn't happen fast.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
For her, it happened fast. So just because something took me years doesn't mean it can't take you a month, right? You just never know until you immerse yourself in it, put yourself out there and just go for it. Okay. Seeing younger generations grow, what do you feel is lacking and thriving in their development? Oh my gosh, this is so easy with a child who has been in Zoom school for almost a year.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
Interaction, human interaction, activity. They're sitting so much now and having their heads down. They're developing problems with their spines. You know, there are so many issues around kids sitting at home, sitting in Zoom school, not being able to play sports, not being able to interact with other children, with teachers face to face. There is a power about being in someone's presence.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
It's different from the computer. And I know that we're all trying our best to make it, you know, as positive, engaging as we can. But there truly is an energy when you are face-to-face with someone that a computer just can't beat. Zoom can't nail it down. So for kids, getting them back into face-to-face communication, in-person opportunities, events, sports, activity,
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
you know, moving outside, all of these things and interactions are critical for them to really reach their potential and grow and have fun. So that's the biggest thing that I see missing. And I can't wait for more in-person events. I can't wait for more in-person sports and activity and just that energy that you get, not only for my son, but for me too. So I hope that answers your questions.

He explained to me that YPO and EO are part of the reasons why his company was so big and that you want to speak for organizations that have high profile executives and that they can in turn deliver you more business. So he really opened my eyes to that as well as some of the people now that I've met on the inside. So knowing that I had this talk today, I was super excited.

Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And as always, there's a fine line between fear and excitement, right? And I always lean to the excitement side. And yesterday, wouldn't you know, I'm giving a talk today about finding certainty in uncertain times. That was the title of my keynote. And so wouldn't you know, yesterday, here's what happens.

He hasn't been going to school for almost a year now, whatever it is. He's been Zoom schooling and that he needs to because I need the space to really, I have to get really serious and aggressive with my work. And I have a lot going on. So anyhow, yesterday was his first day back to school. And to say he was exhausted was an understatement.

Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
Anytime we get ourselves in a rut or in a new pattern, we don't want to go to a different pattern, right? So really, I had to push him and hold him accountable to do it. He had fun, but he was just so tired. So when I woke him up this morning, he didn't want to go to school. And he was coming up with every reason why Zoom school was absolutely the right thing to do.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
So I let him know that under no uncertain terms would he be staying in Zoom school for that day because I had way too much going on. At the same time, I had received a note from Les' team that Les was suddenly available at 1 o'clock. My speaking engagement was from 11 to 2.

So now I was trying to figure out how can I make all of these things work and show up as the best version of me to make sure that I do a fantastic job, right? So I'm working through all this, trying to get my kid out of the house. And another thing I forgot to mention yesterday, last night, maybe it was five o'clock, I get an email. It was from the building where I live.

Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
Hey, we've got emergency chipping work going on from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. And there's nothing anyone can do about it. So here's the bottom line is that I realized, okay, that's not gonna work for me. I need to raise my hand and ask for help. So I emailed the building and I said, listen, I am giving a keynote presentation that has been months in the making.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
I cannot afford to have chipping going on in the background as I'm delivering a keynote speech to thousands of people all around the world. I need your help. Anyhow, crickets, I didn't hear anything back. Finally, this morning at nine, I called over to the office. I said, please, can someone help me for the love of God?

Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And it ends up they said they would call the contractors and ask them to take a break during the hour I was giving my keynote. Okay, problem solved. Good news. So I was feeling a little bit better. Then as I'm about to go on my keynote, the cleaning lady from my building decides to start vacuuming outside of my apartment door. I just had to start laughing.

It's almost as if the universe lines things up for you to make a point. Here I am talking about living a life of uncertainty and never knowing what's going to happen next. And here I was walking right into it, left and right, in complete craziness from, I don't even know what, the last 24 hours. Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention. So yesterday I, as you know,

So last night I got my manuscript back and with a beautiful note that said she loved the book and this was some of the greatest writing and storytelling she had seen in a really long time. However, I'm over the word count and they want me to cut 8,000 words. Now, when you create something, when you write something, it's sort of like your baby. The idea to cut out 8,000 words is,

is a little painful. So I did what I knew the right thing for me to do was. I didn't want to get upset. I didn't want to start flipping out. So I flipped the email to my editor because I knew he's written a ton of books. I haven't. I've only written one before this. So I said, what do you think about these notes? And he jumped on a quick call with me and said, these are great notes.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
She loves the book. Heather, some people get back that this is not what they ordered and they don't want to work with them. He said, you know, pick your head up and feel good about this. So I was really glad that I had someone who was so far ahead of me on speed dial that I could call to walk me through it.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And I just decided last night, since I had the speech today, since I had the Les Brown interview today, I needed to just get calm and I just shelved it. I said, you know what? I'm going to shelve this right now. I don't want to go dig into the notes through the manuscript and look at all the work I have ahead of me. However,
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
I did notice that the deadline to have it back to them is the 29th of this month. So not a lot of time to make these changes, not a lot of time to get this done. Pressure cooker. Oh boy. So again, the more experience you have with things, the more you know, oh yeah, I can burn through this fast. This is my first dealings with a traditional publishing house. This is my first dealings with a
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
publishing house's revised edit or cutting 8,000 words. You know, it's just new. And whenever something's new, it's a little intimidating. So today it's been riding around on the back of my mind, and I know I'm going to get it done. I know it's going to make the book better, and it's going to make it great, and I'm excited for that. But I know today I can't tackle it. I'm just not there yet.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And for me, the way I think through things, I try to think tactically all what can I do quickly to solve problems? For example, are there specific chapters I can just cut out?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
And, you know, I was coming up with some questions in my mind so that I could bring them back to my editor, my editor, not the HarperCollins team first to just kind of bounce off him to see what he thinks, because I haven't done it before. And this is new to me. And when we try new things, we grow and we learn. And sometimes we make mistakes. So I'm hoping that
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Living Life on Purpose with Les Brown
to do it as efficient and effectively and as smart as possible. So that is a big change, and it has been a crazy, crazy couple of days, 24 hours, whatever it was. And now I have to wait till Friday to get all the feedback from my YPO keynote today, which the initial feedback I got was great, but they're actually going to review some more specific feedback with me, and I can't wait till Friday.

From a percentage standpoint, I feel like that's most people like it's so that people are really doing all of the work. I mean, maybe not as much in the world that we live in today, but it still seems like the default is kind of, hey, you grew up this way, make the best of it and move on. Wouldn't you agree that most people aren't really diving into that?

Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
Seems so simple hearing you say that. However, when we get in these routines, it becomes so much more complex or maybe not so much more complex, but so much more difficult. I just recently was talking to one of my best friends who's been in this cycle with her husband where she keeps blaming and pointing a finger at him so much so that she's not noticing she's doing it.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
I'm sure that you see people going through this and I'm speaking to her and they love each other. They have a good marriage, but they're just in one of these cycles right now. When I mentioned it to her, I said, you just keep talking about everything he does wrong, but you're not saying that you ever do anything wrong or saying anything that he does right.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
It was almost shocking to her to hear that. How do people break cycles when they get into these routines? Well, first of all, I just want to say that that was very good advice that you gave her.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
That's one of the things I love so much about your book is the emphasis on it begins with you, your first truth and that radical accountability because that is the one thing that we can all control. Okay, so I'll use myself as an example because I feel like, of course, for me, this is more of a gray area. It's obvious when I'm looking at my friends, right?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
It's simple to say, oh no, you shouldn't just point a finger at somebody else all the time. That's not the right thing to do. That's clear to me. However, in my situation, I'll use a past relationship that I had and it's similar to the prior one. I'll get into a relationship. Everything is great. It's amazing. Things are going well. And then slowly things will start to change.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
the way you approach things? I don't know what it is, but you've got to hear this from so many different people. What is it? What is your secret sauce? I don't know.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
In my mind, I'll think, oh, give this person the benefit of the doubt. You know, this is a gray area. I don't want to be a pain. I'm sure it's, you know, whatever. But that person is And in this situation, you know, making a commitment to make me a priority to come see me, whatever it may be. And then I'm slowly seeing the actions not line up with the words.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
And then suddenly you're having the conversation. Wait a minute. We've talked about this. Why are we back at this again? And then for me, I want to blow up and walk away. my friends will say to me, you can't keep doing that. That's not working for you. But when you're in it, it's so hard to say, what is it that I'm doing wrong? It's very hard to see oftentimes when you're knee deep in it.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
Okay, I could have used that when I was 20. I mean, you and me both. But at least you're dropping it on us now. So thank you for that. Yeah. So when you were explaining that and thank you for explaining that, the one thing that popped into my mind was red flags. And I know you talk a lot about this. We start seeing the red flags.

Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
I love that idea of really checking in with your intuition, seeing how you feel physically, mentally, emotionally, when things come up. However, this is what gets confusing to me. So I so look to your advice on this.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
What's the difference between that, that like inner knowing versus just being simply triggered by something from a past relationship, which believe me, I've got many, many triggers. And the older I'm getting, I'm trying to say, oh, you're getting triggered right now. Don't react, you know, try to breathe, try to calm down. How can you differentiate from the two?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
It's definitely working. And I agree with you. I always say to people, I want advice on how to get out of a ditch from somebody who's been in the ditch and found a way to successfully get out. Not someone who was on the sidelines watching the whole thing go down. So I appreciate you being there.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
I don't know if this is a female thing. I think it is because I see it with so many women, myself included. You can be in a short relationship and you romanticize that this is going to be it and everything is going to be amazing. And then when you end that relationship, for whatever reason, you know, it doesn't work out.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
And then you constantly obsess and ruminate and think about that great relation. And again, romanticize it. How do you get people to stop doing that? So like you said, they can separate from that past relationship to go whole into a new one.

One thing that was surprising for me reading your new book was learning about your childhood and your father. I had no idea. Can you give a little bit about your backstory and how you got started into all this work?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
That confuses me in this whole dynamic of femininity, masculinity, and this world that we live in today where, you know, I've always been told I'm very masculine, very aggressive, very direct. And that, you know, stems from work, my childhood, whatever. But people always offer me that feedback. You shouldn't bring that into your romantic relationships, Heather.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Break Toxic Relationship Patterns with Jillian Turecki, Bumble Relationship Coach & Product Advisor
So I've been working so hard in later years to not try to control everything, direct everything and take charge of everything. in my romantic relationships and try to leave that somewhat at work. But then to your point, what you're saying is be direct. How do you balance that? And what role does femininity versus masculinity play?

And you're already teaching me so much just in the first couple of minutes of meeting you. I'm blown away. I wanted to talk today about your new book, The Practice. And what is so serendipitous is my background, Seth, was in corporate America. I was a chief revenue officer 25 plus years in that really linear world. And now I'm out on my own as an entrepreneur.

And while I talk so much about confidence and the importance of just being you and owning your voice and taking chances, today happens to be one of those days where as an entrepreneur, I'm hitting roadblocks and getting frustrated and doubting myself and wondering why did I leave that well-lit linear world to immerse myself in such challenges time and time again?

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

And I like that idea of saying to myself, okay, the first time I wrote a book, oh my gosh, am I allowed to be an author? Is this even something that is legal? Instead of, you know, questioning myself so much with saying, I'm going to show up as a rookie mentee author and give it my best and trying to take some of that pressure off that we put on ourselves.

That is excellent advice. And it's actually, I shared my book with my innermost family, relatives. right before I was going to launch. And they were saying, no way, don't do it. You're going to get sued. It's going to fail. You're going to be embarrassed. You've got to step away from this, Heather, wrap it up, forget it. And I called my editor, Seth, and he said what you just said to me.

He said, Heather, did you write the book for your family? I said, no, I did not. He said, who did you write the book for? I said, for one person. If there's one person out there that I could help that felt the way that I used to feel, then I'm writing the book for that person. And he said, well, then that hasn't changed. And we launched the book. And it was the best advice.

Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
I knew we could innovate, but we needed resources allocated to the innovation. We needed a bigger picture of vision and innovation. And it wasn't happening under that direction. What I've learned since is when you're getting blocked from something and it's so clear, you know you are a solution to the problem, you might wanna step away and say, this is probably the wrong situation for me.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice

I need to tell you, as you know, we've had some challenges in my family in the last month and lost some people and pets and had some tough times. And I've been finding it challenging to write.

Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
That's really eye-opening to me because when you explained that really asking for permission is asking for that assurance and the potential to blame somebody if it doesn't work out, that is so accurate. And I was just running through in my mind how many times that I did that, but I was completely unaware until you just described it that way. And I think I'm pretty self-aware.

When you take a look at that company stock today, I'm grateful I wasn't. However, I want you to understand if you are getting BS answers, don't accept those.

Schools open, but budgets are all cut to the point I am looking to sell a lot of stock. But in between all of this, I started an online platform. I get educational speakers to come and speak and I invite teachers along for free right now because there's no budget. I love LinkedIn and would love to become an influencer. How can you help? I'm looking for direction.

So the key is right now, just keep showing up, right? You've got to post. You've got to add value. How can you add value? What problem can you solve for people? And another key on LinkedIn is just use three hashtags. You know, you want to... Own the hacks that are working.

What are they doing that's working? You don't always need to completely reinvent the business model. You can take what's working for some and make it your own. Just keep going. Okay, hey, Heather, great post, great profile. I'm looking for advice. I'm writing a book about forgiveness after losing my family to a drunk driver. Any advice on how to market my book? I know it will help thousands.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
Not sure how to do it. Much appreciated. Okay, first of all, it's so sad. My heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine. And amazing that you're writing a book about forgiveness given that situation. So applaud you. So marketing a book. The free way to do it is social media. creating content that adds value, share your personal story, stories sell, facts tell.

And I also want to know if anyone has a problem with me being a woman. You know, and those are some of the things I said and total respect to these guys that I'm joining their team. Every single one of them was there applauding and saying, yes, this is why we want you. We don't want a yes guy. We don't want someone who's just like everybody else. And we like that you fill a space that is different.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
So you always want to lead with your personal story. You want to add value and connect with others. Promoting a book on social media is all about giveaways, contests. People love that kind of stuff. Or for you, given this topic of bereavement, maybe there's some different groups that already exist that you could connect with that have thousands or millions of people engaged and
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
you can pitch yourself to different outlets and figuring out how you can add value to their audiences. There's companies that do this, right? I use Scribe Media. They help me self-publish and they also have a promotion division. Authors Unite is another company I just learned about that helps people to reach bestseller status.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
So really doing your homework in regards to who are these partners that are out there, which are the right partners for you, leveraging your social media, your email list, Maybe your company has a big email list. Asking for help from your network, your friends, people of your community that have rallied around you and have wanted to help before, tapping into them now is definitely a great way.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
And for sure, joining some groups around bereavement And introducing them to your book so that they help to introduce your book to their massive audience. That's definitely another way. And if resources aren't a problem, hire somebody to do this for you. It is a daunting task. I did it for myself primarily alone. And I turned my whole house into a shipping department and everything.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
It can be a lot, a lot, a lot of work. Going on podcasts and telling your story is another. Figure out podcasts that really target people around loss and forgiveness. You want to make sure that your story, your message is relevant to the community that you're going towards. But podcasts have been a great way to reach an audience that is relevant to your message where you can help them.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
It's all about your message. It's all about that community and that target audience that you want to reach. And there are so many hacks out there. For me, I am not an expert in that arena. I have to hire or collaborate with people that are experts individually. and how to get a book to bestseller status so it reaches more people, appears in more lists, and ultimately makes its way into more homes.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: Seth Godin on The Practice: How to Inspire, Embrace, & Share Your True Voice
So best of luck to you. Love the message that you're bringing to life, and people need to hear it. So on the lowest level, you've got to post daily about this.

But try to organize these leads, not lose them if they are meaningful to you or if it's something you do want to do in the future. And I try to convey that to people.

Not things I was working on, not things I was planning on, things that just started showing up for me. So declutter. I'm tasking with that today. I'm going to do it to my bedroom now that I've lived in the condo I'm in now for a couple of years.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
I need to declutter again. Like it's never over, right? Why not always be creating space for miracles to show up in your life? Okay, then back to her feng shui. I really went down the rabbit hole.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
Like her whole idea, and again, I'm going to get into the detail on the show on that episode so you'll hear it, but I'm prepping you for it now so you can start getting in the mindset because I want to set you up for success so bad. Her whole concept is like, we all know what a vision board is, right?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
Like putting the spouse that you want on there, the book deal that you want, the millions of dollars that you want, the home that you want, the child that you want, whatever it is, right? Like all the things you want, you desire, your vision for your future, right? You map it out. You put pictures against it. You visualize it. But her ideas go even further. Make it part of your home.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
So, for example, she says, like, don't put pictures of yourself alone in your home. That's sending the message subliminally that you're alone. If you want to be in a relationship, put pictures with you and people you love in it so that you are always seeing. I'm always surrounded by love. I'm always surrounded by people who love me.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
Like share the message and the vision board, not just the vision board, but everywhere in your home. So declutter the table, declutter the desk, declutter the bedroom and have pictures of two hearts together. Have pictures of you and your best friends hugging together. You know.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
Have pictures of you on amazing trips that are super expensive that you know like you need to be making millions of dollars to go on again, right? That's all sending this message that you're succeeding, that things are going well. Start living out your vision board in your home. And that can be done through the colors that you choose. That can be done through plants.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
Oh, here is another great one that she shared with me. Get rid of all fake plants. Fake plants stagnate energy and stop flow. So I chucked, I had these beautiful fake plants, got rid of them, put real ones in, like bring things to life, bring energy into your home and create movement and energy. I have a fountain now in my house. It's very small. It's cute. So cute.

But like it shows that water is always moving, like money is always moving into my life, like energy is always moving, positive things, miracles are always coming to my life. It's all about setting your home up to literally like be a vortex for good for you. And ironically, the same day I interviewed Marie, which is so crazy, I interviewed Michael Beckwith. He was in the movie The Secret with her.

#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
And I say, ironically, no, it's serendipitous. It's a miracle, right? Like these are people who I've watched that movie a million times and think it's incredible. And now here they are coming on the show, right? Same day too, which is so wild. I don't know. To me, that's like gets my attention. There's miracles happening all over.

Anyhow, when I was on with Michael, such an incredible spiritual individual, amazing energy, like so vibing high, like he's all about getting your vibration to the next level to attract the right things into your life and the right people. It's so much good. But he also shares, right, like it's first connection to God, source. You know, I say God for sure. Some people say universe. I say God.

It's incredible. But to hear our pastor walk us through that journey and hearing him talk about how nine years ago— It was him and a handful of friends sitting in his apartment, calling it a church, right? They had a vision for the future. They had a vision for where they were going, but that vision wasn't real. They were in a little apartment room calling it a church.

He says God as well. So it's your connection to God and prayer to God, right? Super, super being aligned with God and what your soul purpose is. getting clear on that.

You thank God for the new car that you already have in your life, even though you don't have it yet. Right. It's all about like, you're so expectant and this is back to the Bible.

But instead, they came out of the pandemic so much stronger. They had built their online presence, their YouTube channel, their podcast, like, you know, starting to get millions of downloads.

And then a year later, they paid off the building and then they got another location. And then our pastor's father became ill. And he had to step back from running his church.

And because I act on my intuition, I trust it even more. So yes, a lot of people would say that's crazy to change your talk right before you're gonna go on, but I believe in me.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
And I knew the people that were there that brought me in to speak believe in me too, right? And so when you feel that sense of belief, when you're not surrounded by negativity, when you're not surrounded by naysayers, But champions, you believe in yourself more. I took that stage and I said, oh boy, giddy up and here we go.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
I am not giving the talk that everybody thought I was going to give today, including myself. And here's why. There's one voice and opinion in your life that will always matter. And that is your own. When your heart speaks to you, listen and act. And you will hear it more and more and more. And it will set you on that right path.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
I said, I want to start off today with two stories that I feel like are so important for you to hear. And I got into these two stories. And really, the bottom line was this, that the message I was bringing forth was a couple of things. You need to just go bigger and you need to have faith and you need to have hope. And when other people tell you your ideas aren't going to work, that's OK.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
And you can thank them for their limiting beliefs. But you've got to stay on your path. And listen to your truth, regardless of what is the truth for anyone else. And there are millions of people in the world that told me I was crazy seven years ago when I got fired and I decided to go to work for myself. Everyone told me to wait out my non-compete and go back to the industry I had expertise in.

#502 Vision, Faith, and Making Room for MIRACLES with Heather
And today, I'm so glad I didn't. But it's a constant battle, right? Like, obviously, that would be the easy thing. I have way more expertise, 25 years of experience and expertise and network in that arena. I only have seven years in this new one, right? So it's harder when you're starting out.

Yeah, the first thing that just popped into my head is ironically, and you know this, I'm leaving for Saudi Arabia on Friday and to speak at the largest tech conference in the world, lead tech conference in Riyadh. And last year when they reached out to me to hire me to speak, I had this moment of, oh, they want this glass of milk to head out to the Middle East.

Who am I to go to the Middle East and take a stage for technology? I had this massive imposter syndrome that really took me some time. You know, I really had to work on it. I had to process it. And for me and for everyone listening, one of the ways that I personally deal with imposter syndrome, I keep a journal of all things that I feel super proud of, right?

Like whether it be a mom moment that, you know, helping my kid get through a really difficult time, or whether it be when I took my TEDx stage and I was having a panic attack right before I walked out, but I pushed through it and I made it work.

Bottom line is, by the way, everyone, it's always easier the second time, like the next time you go through it, it's just going to be easier. But I'll tell you the other one, and I actually wrote about this in my second book, Overcome Your Villains. When I was tapped to teach at Harvard for the first time, I had this complete, oh my gosh, I can't get into Harvard.

Like I didn't have a strong enough SAT scores. You know, I had Harvard on a pedestal and I had to put the rose colored glasses that this professor was seeing me through. I had to put them on and look at myself in the mirror with those rose colored glasses. And I remember I said to him, explain to me why me? Explain to me why you want me? And he said, because you're female, number one.

He's like, we have so few female professors here. He said, two, you have real-time business expertise and experience in sales and sales leadership. And you're so much younger than I am, Heather. And you're going to understand technology in a way that I can't convey it to my students.

And the more he spoke, the more I realized the whole thing is I'm so different from him that I'm going to bring a totally different perspective and value prop to these people that they haven't experienced yet. And suddenly I was able to see myself with those rose colored glasses and say, I'm scared to death.

I don't know that I deserve to be teaching at Harvard, but I'm going to go and I'm going to give it my all. And what I learned from that experience was I was so incredibly different than the professor that I was working with that. It was great value for the students, even though I was like an unconventional teacher for them.

In any moment that you get the chance to show up for people that show up for you, you got to do it, right? Like whenever you can, you really want to, because it means so much, you know, just a special thing. It doesn't happen every time, right?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
There's plenty of times that we can't make it to somebody's event. I was so grateful to be able to be there for her, to show up for somebody who shows up for me all the time. Okay, so during this time before I was heading out, a number of people were reaching out to me saying, I think you should cancel on both of your events for your friend and for your partner because it's too dangerous.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
It doesn't look good, right? Like worrying, worrying, worrying. And again, listen, I get it, right? But I was trying not to do that. I want to expect the best and put that out there and then just handle it as it comes. I wanted to walk you through
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
a couple of different ways you can handle something if you do want to decline, because there are going to be times you can't be, listen, the reality is if the hurricane hit, I was not leaving my kid here. It wasn't even if I could get out, right? I was, if he was not going to be safe, I was not leaving. And I'm not going to apologize for that. That was like the one thing I was clear on.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
Yes, if I can get out, I'll go. But if I can get out and it's still questionable if Miami is going to be OK, I'm not going. So I'd already made that decision. I had that clarity. I was not going to be, you know, no one was going to talk me into anything other than that.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
So I started thinking, how would people handle this situation if they felt like a lot of pressure that they should be somewhere and they did not want to go any longer because of a situation that had arisen that was unexpected. So I wanted to give you three different ways that you can handle declining an event when it just isn't ideal for you anymore, right? I did not do that.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
I went, it all worked out. My son was fine. He had a couple of days off. He was psyched. Actually, he was so happy. Got to sleep in every day, got to work out, had a blast. I was able to make my bet, right? Like everything worked out so much better than expected. Again, reminder, do not worry.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
Wait to worry because everything worked out and actually got into LA 45 minutes earlier than I've ever gotten. And it was wild how easy things actually came to be. However, if you had been here in my home that week leading up to it, you would have never thought that would have been the outcome. I certainly did not anticipate it to be that easy.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
OK, so here are three different ways you can decline going to an event when it's just not feasible, possible or just not what you want. Right. Again, that was not my situation, but I'm going to give you some ways to handle it. All right. Somebody asked you to go to something like this and you have a horrible situation with weather and you're in your mind. That's not something you want to deal with.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
A great way to handle something like that is instead of apologizing, which puts you at fault. You're not at fault when you just are deciding you don't want to attend something for your own reasons. That's your privilege. That's your choice. That's up to you. It's your decision.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
So instead of apologizing, which puts you beneath somebody else or to blame, instead you say to them, I really appreciate you understanding. And it was funny. I have another best friend happens to be two hours north of me right now. I just got back from LA and she had asked if I wanted to come up and see her and a bunch of her friends for dinner tonight. And of course I wanted to see them.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
I love these people. They're incredible. But the idea after just getting back off this flight, and I haven't even unpacked yet, and my son has school tomorrow, and I have work tomorrow, and I haven't gone to the grocery store, and I haven't done my... It just didn't seem feasible for me. Yes, of course I wanted to go, but it didn't seem feasible.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
Instead of saying, I'm so sorry that I can't do this, I just got back from LA, I said to her, I said, listen, I would so appreciate it if you could understand that I am exhausted, completely not prepared, and while I would love to see you, I just, I can't make it work right now. And she said...
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
no problem i completely understand and then i was able to thank her and say thank you thank you so much for understanding i so love you i so appreciate and love you thank you right but don't blame yourself you don't need to apologize you can thank that other person you can show gratitude and you're taking the presumptive close that's the other thing that's super smart you're setting them up to say i so appreciate your understanding with this i so appreciate your help with this
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
and then looking at the difference between them and the top 25, right? So if you're the top 25 in the world in tennis, I wouldn't think there's probably all that much difference, but he had found some very specific things, something very specific actually, that made these individuals perform better, differently, and above the top 25, right?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
Thank you for understanding. It's hard to unravel that on the other side and say, no, I refuse to be understanding. Right. So you're taking the assumptive close, which is really, really smart. OK. Another thing you could say is, you know what? Unfortunately, this isn't going to work for me. Again, you're not blaming yourself. You're not blaming them.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
But you're saying, unfortunately, this isn't going to work. So just really simple to the point. The third one is, while this is not going to work, how about you and I find a compromise on something that could work for both of us? Meaning... To my friend who's two hours away right now, who I would love to see.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
I'm not going to be able to do this, but I will come see you in November for Thanksgiving. Right. Like coming up with an alternative solution that is different than the one that's on the table, but is mutually beneficial for both of you. So you don't need to blame yourself. You don't need to apologize. You don't need to get all upset and worked up.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
You can either say, I appreciate your understanding. You can say, unfortunately, this won't work for me. Or you can say, let's find a compromise that works for both of us and remove the emotion from it. You know, saying no to one thing is saying yes to something else. And for me saying no to going to that dinner tonight meant I could say yes to making my son dinner.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
I could say yes to getting the groceries for the week. I could say yes to doing laundry, getting my house organized so that I feel really good about my son situation tomorrow, my week tomorrow, right? Like it's going to set me up for a big win versus if I went to a dinner late tonight, two hours away, I think we all know what's going to happen. I'm going to get home really late.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
I'm going to be exhausted. Yeah, I'm going to have had a blast, which I love having fun with my friends. However, this wasn't the day for it. So you don't need to give anyone excuses. You don't need to apologize to anybody. You don't need to over explain. You can keep it short. I appreciate your understanding. Unfortunately, this won't work for me. Let's find a compromise that works for both of us.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
Love it. Love it. Love it. Okay. So choose you. And you know what? Good friends are going to appreciate that. They're going to understand it and they're going to support you in it. And everyone's going to keep it moving.

So, you know, most people would think like, oh, it's obviously one person's more skilled than the other, you know, obviously one person had a better coach, Better parents started younger. They practice more. They've had more in-person tournaments. I'm sure there's a million reasons. But what is interesting to me is none of those were the determining factor.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
In fact, he said it didn't matter what age they started at. Didn't matter necessarily, you know, who had the most prestigious coach or went to this school or had the wealthiest parents.

#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
All of the people, all of the tennis players that he was looking at in the top 25, pretty much were similar around skill set and talent and the amount of time they worked and had comparable in regards to all had really good coaches, right? Like there wasn't any big differentiators that they could point to. So they continued to research, like, why is it these top three keep winning?
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
#510 One Thing That Separates Top Performers + How to Say No Without Offending People, A Solo Episode Mashup with Heather!
What is different? So again, look, it's a pretty fair level playing field, right? It's the skill sets the same, the talents are very similar, the coaching is very similar, the situations are very similar. There's no big smoking gun you can point at. What made these top three the top three and why consistently were they winning? Well, guess what they found. This is so cool, so interesting.

in some of the top 25 when they would have a bad serve or the ball would go out or they couldn't volley and return something back. they would start getting very negative about themselves. Like I suck. Why did I miss that? I can't believe I missed that shoot. Like getting really down on themselves.

Now maybe they didn't completely unravel, but they were definitely vocally and you could see very negative and very down what the top three had shown or expressed or was witnessed when they were being evaluated was completely different. The differentiator was,

Within a couple of seconds of making the bad shot, missing the shot, hitting the ball out, doing something that obviously they were not happy or excited about, the difference was they grasped onto a positive thought. So I found this so interesting. It's all about a mental game, right? It's not so much a physical game.

Of course, I'm not going to go be a professional tennis champion because I've never put the work in. I don't have the skill set. I don't have the coach, right? Like, I don't have those baseline things those other people had. but the one game changer for the top three.

was how they spoke to themselves and how they spoke out loud and how they changed their thoughts, even though they did something wrong, even though they did something they weren't hyped about, they came right back to a positive thought. Like this next one's gonna be better. And it just reminded me, you know, Kobe Bryant talked all the time about how he saw every shot was gonna go in.

Same thing with Tom Brady in the NFL as a quarterback before every single game, seeing himself completing all the passes, winning the games, winning the Super Bowl.

My son is huge into this. Ever since he was a little kid, he's had me right on the bottom of his shoes. I can, I will, I can do all things. And the reason he has me do that is so if he's halfway through a game and getting low and feeling a little discouraged, he can remind himself that it's the positive thoughts and the belief that will turn everything around for him in the game.

So I encourage you today. Don't let yourself play that cop-out game that somebody had a better coach or somebody had a better skill set or somebody's prettier or smarter or moves faster. Instead, start equipping yourself with the fact. The sooner you can move to a positive thought, the sooner you can visualize the positive outcome.

Not real well. Doesn't work out real well. That's why there are people at the bottom of the list and the ones at the top are forgiving themselves, encouraging themselves, and seeing the outcome and visualizing the outcome that they know to be true for them.

And it's so powerful to see in this book, you're pulling together research. You're pulling together real life business examples, sports examples, scripture, your own personal.

You know, someone pointed out to me the other day, I struggle with the idea of surrender because it sounds scary. Like you're letting go of everything. You're letting go of all control. And for so much of my life, I was a control freak in recovery now. It's a work in progress.

And so someone said to me, how about instead of saying I surrender to you, God, or I let go of my fears to you, I give you my fears, God. And it was interesting changing one word. I thought, oh, that's easy to do. I had no problem. But for me, language was holding me back a little bit from truly surrendering.

And actually in the book, you've got a chapter about shame and how shame blocks us and sexual abuse and abuse of any kind, but that we don't even realize, like you said, someone could be out there seeking this relationship with God, praying for it, but whatever their blocks are within their own life that they haven't addressed yet is actually keeping them from receiving the kinds of blessings you're describing.

Oh my gosh. You know what? In your book, you talk about narcissistic leaders. And what's interesting is sometimes, and for anyone listening right now, and I'm interested to have you get into narcissism a little bit. So many of us know narcissistic people, but don't have that label for it or aren't sure exactly what that means. I worked for a narcissistic leader for a while.

And what's interesting is reading the book, The One Truth, I realized she was separating everyone from her. The more she would show up in a controlling fashion, in a I'm perfect fashion, everybody else must be perfect around me. You must do as I say, not as I do. There was this division, lack of clarity in my mind as a leader.

All right, I had another Jedi moment that I want you to get into because it was super interesting to me. This idea of oneness and wholeness around teams versus separate individuals, just from a timing standpoint, I read it during the Eastern Conference playoffs. I happen to be obviously a huge Miami Heat fan. However, I'm from Boston originally, but I've lived in Miami 20 years.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: The One TRUTH to Elevate Your Mind, Unlock Your Power, & Heal Your Soul with Jon Gordon 15x Best Selling Author & Thought Leader
So I'm now team Miami Heat. During the playoffs, there was this one game. I mean, obviously, there were so many games that we can talk about that were incredible. The Celtics were favored, I don't know, 8-1 over Miami Heat. And there's been so much commentary around them having all the players drafted. Miami Heat didn't have drafted players. We were seeded eighth. They were first or second.
Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan
Confidence Classic: The One TRUTH to Elevate Your Mind, Unlock Your Power, & Heal Your Soul with Jon Gordon 15x Best Selling Author & Thought Leader
Bottom line is this. The Miami Heat beat the Celtics. Obviously, we all know that now. But when I look back, it was one of these moments when I'm reading the book that it hit me. And this is, I'm so interested in your perspective on it, because I know that you are a huge NBA fan.

You know, Jimmy Butler is a beast, obviously, but watching him with his team, the Miami Heat, and how much he passes and how focused he is on the other players and encouraging everybody else. And in the, you know, after the game, when he's being interviewed, speaking everything about the other players, conversely, the Celtics, who again, everyone will tell you better players, right?

They should have won. People will say that time and time again. They lost. And when you watch their star player, he turned his ankle. All of a sudden, everything started to fall apart. And it was so shocking to see. It wasn't just that game. But for me, that game is what hit me when I was reading your book. Am I hitting it the right way, do you think?

If you're feeling full of self-doubt and questioning yourself, you are either doing the wrong thing or you're around the wrong people. That was the key to me. I ended up actually, my back went out. Like I started losing hair physically.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I started responding in a very negative way because at that point in time, it was like the universe hitting me over the head to say, you got to get out of this situation.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I mean, listen, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Getting fired is one of the biggest punches in the gut when you're type A overachiever, right? That was really hard. Yeah. I could know everything that I know now 10 years ago, I would have quit 10 years ago and gone into the speaking business 100% because I'd be 10 years ahead of where I am. But no, I didn't have that knowledge.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And I guess things have to play out the way that they're meant to. So Listen, the one great moment about getting fired that I love, I'm so proud of, and I wish we all had a movie of this so that we could watch it right now because I would be cheering younger HM along in this. That day I walked in, that woman was full of joy. She was so happy. She was standing. She was power posing.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
She asked me to sit, right? Like these are all games people play when they're trying to intimidate. And so I sat down, she was standing over me. She's a very tiny, petite woman. She had me sit because I'm much bigger than her. And so I'm sitting down and she passes two pieces of papers in front of me. I'd seen the movie before, right? I knew it was about to happen.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And she said, I'm going to send this memo out. And it said, Heather's been fired. Or I'm going to send this memo out. And it was a beautiful letter about like how amazing I was. And I was moving on to this new journey. Right. And your ego saying you want the beautiful letter.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
But she says, you know, in order to get the beautiful letter, you're going to get a very big check and you have to sign this. And it's this massive document, which is basically a gag clause. And in that moment, it was like that was my snapping moment. I just remember looking at the papers, looking at her, looking at papers. And thinking, I didn't write these memos. I'm not signing these memos.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And you know what? Like, I'm going to suck all the power out of this room. And I stood up and I smiled and I said, I didn't write the memos. I'm not signing them. There's nothing else to say. I'm on my way. In that moment, everything changed. And her face went from a giant smile to, I mean, red, like she wanted to kill me because she wanted to control the narrative.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
She wanted to be holding the pen, telling the story and crafting it the way she saw fit. And when I didn't sign that, I could walk out and tell my true story.

One of the big things that I realize now, looking back on my career, my life, Nothing amazing happens until you overcome that villain. Like for you, the villain was the corporate job and the security and the safety. Like that was your villain in the moment. For me, my villain was myself and my negative self-talk and dialing myself down. I had to overcome myself
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
In order to step into my possibility and power. So just, I started thinking more and more about like, listen, it's no one's ever going to reach their greatness. No one's ever going to achieve the potential success that's out there for them until they deal with that one nasty villain. Everybody's got one. And it's about not just acknowledging it by overcoming it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Yeah, I'll give you a real quick, I'll use myself as an example because it's the easiest to understand. OK, so when I got fired, the belief I sat with when I immediately got fired was I've lost everything. I remember walking out and I'm like, I've lost everything. So when you're in that moment and challenge hits, pump the brakes and say, OK, what's the belief I'm holding? I've lost everything.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Now dial that down to the most simplistic shred of fact you can find. So as I dialed it down, I thought I didn't lose my network. I didn't lose my expertise. I didn't lose my friends, my health, my family, my business acumen. Wait a minute. I didn't lose anything. I lost a paycheck. That was fast. I did lose a paycheck. So suddenly going from I've lost everything to I lost a paycheck.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
That really helped to close a gap for me to say, well, I've gotten paychecks from other places before. When you start dialing that belief down to the most simplistic shred of fact, you're going to get your head in a much better space. Number two, immediately take action. And this is where a lot of people get held up. Lucky for me, this is like my action is my wheelhouse, right?
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
So I went immediately to LinkedIn and I put a post up. So take messy action. I didn't write some long, beautiful post. I just put out there, Hey, Ben fired, need your help. Like I'm raising my hand. Here I am. Right. So take messy action done will always be better than perfect. And then three knowledge, you want to surround yourself and curate the knowledge that you're

accessing and allowing into your life. So that a great example of this is landing on the Elvis Duran show. Someone who's light years ahead of me, much more successful than me speaking truth and life into me, telling me, Heather, you're writing a book. Had that man not said that to me that day, I don't know where I would be right now. Right?

That man totally changed the trajectory of my life, my business life, my personal life, everything by speaking a truth and a belief he had. I had never considered writing a book, but when he had such a conviction and a belief that I could do it and that it was going to be great, I bought into it and I Googled, how do you write a book?

Oh, yeah, sure. So the sandwich technique is It's a really helpful one. Anytime you're leading teams, you're mentoring people or developing people. Oftentimes people have a hard time taking criticism, right? Like they shut down the minute they hear, Ooh, that's not so good. Or I wouldn't do it that way. They can't hear anything. They're not going to process anything else.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
So a great technique, strong leaders use very often. is they lead with something positive, right? So let's use the example of when I was giving my TEDx talk. My friend Amy Warren has over 21 million views on her TEDx talk. So she's been where I wanted to go. So she's the person I chose to tap for advice on my talk.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And so when I shared it with her, she came back at me and said, listen, wow, you're an amazing speaker, Heather. Like she's leading with praise. I love the whole concept. It's so unique. The idea is incredible. I love how you positioned A, B, C, and D. Now, a sandwich is in the middle is the meat, right? So now here's where the constructive criticism and real impact is going to come, right?
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
She's like, however, I didn't love, you didn't pull me in the way you usually do in the beginning. And I think that there's something bigger that you could come up with that would draw the audience in quickly in a different way. I'm not sure what it is, but I challenge you to find out what that is. And then Let's go back to the bread in the sandwich. Right.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And then she closes with how she is so certain I am going to kill it, that my top will be just as successful as hers, that she can't wait to support me and closes with a really powerful, supportive gesture. So the sandwich technique is all about lead with positivity, praise in a true and honest way.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
The middle of that conversation is where you're going to give the constructive criticism and feedback and then close with encouragement and positivity again.

Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
First of all, stop, right? So one of the things that was helpful for me is just to pause and say, oh gosh, this is like an old way I used to speak to myself. I don't do this anymore. I'm noticing, just be aware. You want to be self-aware, but this was a huge one for me. I remember thinking, would I ever speak to my son like this? No, of course I wouldn't speak. I wouldn't say you idiot.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I would never talk to my child like that, right? If you don't have a child, think of someone that you love in your life that you want to encourage and envision them and speak to yourself the way you would speak to them. So let's use an example. Let's say I blew it with some presentation or whatever, and I'm beating myself up afterwards.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I become self-aware and say, okay, I'm gonna pause for a minute. This is an old way I used to behave. It wasn't helpful. So how can I change it? And then I picture my son. And I picture he blew a presentation. And so now I talk to him and I say, listen, sweetheart, I know it seems like the end of the world right now, but I promise you this is temporary.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And I promise you you're going to get better from it. And we're going to practice more for the next one. And I promise that this happened for a reason. And this is steering us to a new and better place. And suddenly I start feeling better because I'm really like I'm coaching me the way that I would coach him. Right. And suddenly I feel more positive and I start believing in myself.

Oh my gosh, that was a big, it's such a weird how you can have big moments at any point in time and you never know when something's going to hit you. But I had been at this company, like I said, for 14 years, right? We were doing in excess of $200 million annually. My job was I was responsible for all revenue and for the revenue team.

But when he said it, you know, people were laughing like, oh, that's cute. That's a cute, you know, that's funny and cute, whatever. I got pissed. I'm like, wait a minute. If this is the house that Heather built, why isn't Heather freaking living here? Like I'm the one out on the planes every week. I'm the one out cutting these big deals, building these teams. Why isn't it my house?

Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
So I left that night, not happy, but more challenged to say, why isn't it my house? And then I remember thinking, okay, this is back when I worked for the CEO that promoted me three times. not the one that fired me. It was her father.

Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And I remember thinking, and he had shared this with me a few times, his story, his story was he had been a principal and an educator and did not have a lot of money, had a lot of kids, not a lot of money. And so secretly and quietly at night, he started working at a radio station. Then he built up enough money to buy that one radio station.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And then he advanced that radio station, built enough money to buy another radio station. And then there was this huge crash in the 90s. And everyone said the internet is all there is and radio is gone, which was not the case. But he couldn't see into the future. He wasn't getting any loans from companies. And he didn't know how he was going to pay his debt and go on.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And I remember him saying that he had to walk on the beach alone at night to say, I can either double down on this right now and take the biggest risk of my life and go all in on what I think is going to pay off tenfold. Or I can fold up and sell for pennies on a dollar, lose everything and go back and be a principal again.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And everybody was selling their radio companies because they were trading for pennies on the dollar. And all of his friends sold. And he doubled down and bought and bought and bought and leveraged everything he had and went into massive debt. And it paid off huge. So I remembered that story walking out there. And I realized, yes, I do all the work. Yes, I close all the deals. I make all the money.

Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
But I've never done what that man did. I never took that massive leap of faith like you eventually did, like I eventually did after I got kicked out. But that was the missing piece. So until you're willing to take that big risk, you're never really going to get that great reward.

Oh my gosh, huge. Oh, you already know, but yeah, huge. I completely do. And to Ed's, I was at his house. He now lives in that multi multi-million dollar house on the beach, right? Like he's living that dream that he manifested at a younger age. And it is true. I did not know this when I was younger, but literally your words are your wand.

Like whatever you speak, you are putting it, speaking it into existence. So instead of being the one to say, I'm such an idiot. Oh, blonde moment, which is something I said many times in my career. Now I speak, I'm kicking ass. I'm going bigger. I'm going for more. And those doors start opening. Whatever you speak will happen.

create some type of movement or opportunity in your life or hold back for you, that choice is up to you. So now I take my time to, when I was interviewing Sarah Blakely live on stage, I was really nervous before taking that stage. So for a week leading up to it, every night I would lay on my floor, I would close my eyes and I would see her smiling at me. I would see me smiling at her.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I would see us taking the stage. I would see a standing ovation. I would see what I wanted to put out into the universe, into the world and that energy that I wanted to have. And yeah, I was nervous as all get out when I took that stage, but because I had played it through my mind so many times, it went amazing.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Even though there were lots of mistakes and bumps that occurred, it didn't matter because I had this vision of what was gonna happen and it happened. And it was the same way with my TEDx talk. I was so scared. I was so nervous taking that stupid little red circle
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And I'll tell you, because I had envisioned it and played it through my mind so many times, it didn't matter the amount of challenges that occurred that day. And there were plenty of them because I had this vision that I hung on to and it manifested in the end.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha

It's science back. There's so much science that points to that you're priming your brain for something. I mean, Olympic athletes use this when training, right? Tom Brady will talk so much about this. Anyone who's extremely successful on some level is using visualization, whether they realize they're doing it or not, and just be willing to give it a shot. And it doesn't have to be for a TED Talk.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
It can be for a presentation at work next week. It can be for asking somebody out on a date, right? Like whatever it is that you're feeling a little bit of angst or anxiety that you want to happen, start envisioning happen and watch how it manifests.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Yeah. So I liken it to weight loss, right? So if you're going to, if you want to lose five or 10 pounds, You need to know what your baseline is that you're starting at, know what your goal is, get a picture of that goal, right? Like if I want to lose weight, I'm going to get a picture of me in a bikini when I'm younger and I'm like looking like I'm killing it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
So you know what you're chasing after. And then you want to weigh in every day and track the progress and action steps you're taking to help you achieve your goal. You want to tap somebody to hold you accountable, right? These are all like basic steps. So, but it doesn't just have to be for weight loss.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
It can be for this idea of, I want to be a more confident version of myself, or I have for me, when I got fired, I have no idea where I'm going so that my baseline was like, okay, we're at ground zero right now. At the end of 30 days, I want to be feeling like a much more confident version of myself and having some idea of where I'm going. This is truly what I did do. And so I created a vision.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I actually have a life-size cutout of myself that I put up in my living room so that I could, cause I'm super confident in that picture. And I wanted to see it every day. Like, Hey, I'm coming for you, girl. I've been there before. I'm coming for you. And so I would keep that visual. And then every day I would chart my action steps that I was taking to create opportunity.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
But the other really cool thing, I'd also practice gratitude and I would do it on this grid as well and encourage everyone to do that because it just helps your mind shift to what is possible, what is good instead of what is so hard as we all have challenges. But staying focused on the positive really will help you build momentum and
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And so then I would start tracking the amazing gifts that started showing up in my life, like Elvis Duran, you know, like all these different people who started showing up that I didn't know were coming a week before. And then when you start seeing that, oh my gosh, I wonder what's going to come next week then. That just helps you build more and more momentum.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And then the more momentum you have, the more action steps you take, the more things that you do that create more opportunity and it feeds on each other. And before you know it, you're living the life of the life-size cutout that I have been delivering them.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Oh my gosh, so funny. So my whole career was in the radio business, right? So I've read so many research papers and white papers in regards to the impact music has on the mind. And there's a reason why McDonald's has a jingle. They want you constantly to be thinking about that, right? So pairing...
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
an action step or a statement or an affirmation with music is only going to further ingrain it in your mind and frequency cells. So the thoughts that you hold more often are the ones that are going to impact you in a positive or a negative way. So why not be the director of your own at home movie here that you're running around with all day long? For me, I chose a song by Kendrick Lamar.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I love myself. I chose a visual and this is back to the media business, right? You want to pair a visual with an audio jingle or song with messaging. In my idea, I wanted to be more confident. I wanted to be like that best version, that 10 plus plus of myself. So I got that visual. I started running the Kendrick Lamar song all the time in my head.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And then I started stating this, fear is a green light that means go and go faster. And whenever you feel it, Heather, you're moving into it. And so like those three things, I just made part of my daily routine. And I will tell you within 30 days, if you practice this, you will see a profound difference in whatever it is that you're going out there trying to achieve.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
You're going to see that you will be achieving it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I came up with this back when I was in the media business. We'll use my old job for an example. So I could add more people to my team to accelerate revenues. I could create new business contests to have people focus on bringing in new business. I could train the existing team up. I could personally go after the largest clients in the country and close the biggest deals myself.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
There's so many different things that you can do in any job to have bigger and more profound impact and more success. So you have to start taking a step back and observe the entire landscape and say, where is my time best spent? We need to be strategic here. I don't want to be running around like a chicken with her head cut off, darting on to the left and right.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And no, where can I have the most impact and where can I do it seamlessly and most effectively and efficiently? And so I started looking at things as, okay, if there's going to be a lot of grief around this. So for example, going out and interviewing hundreds and hundreds of people to find one good candidate, that didn't sound like the best grief to gross ratio for me.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
So I started thinking, and this is years ago, right? This is probably six years ago. This is why I launched my personal brand six years ago. I started thinking, how can I flip the current? Instead of me chasing people, how do I get people to start chasing me?
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And so six years ago, I launched a personal brand to attract people into my life that might be like-minded, that might be looking for ways to elevate themselves, get tips. Those are my kind of people. I wanted to pull that current towards me so that those people were constantly applying for the jobs that I did have available.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And that grief to gross ratio was so much better than the way I had been doing it before.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
That woman that ended up firing me, she was a huge micromanager. So in my opinion, this is my how I see things like there are certain qualities I admire in people and there are certain things I don't. And I think it's good to reflect on like, listen, she's super organized. I'm not. And that's like good for her. I wish I had that. Right. So there's things that were great about her, too.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
But I do remember it. this nasty coldness I felt about her that she was always questioning, always, well, show me the speech before you take the stage. Why do you care what I'm going to talk about when I'm talking to a sales organization? It has nothing to do with you. Asking for control.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And I remember learning from what I didn't like about her leadership, that that lack of control and her trying to control it showed up to me as weakness. And I see that as a weakness in people. When you want to grab hold of something so hard, it's because you don't feel really confident in you. So to me, why would I hire you and your team if I don't have trust and belief in you?
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And then how could I ever think you're going to show up as the best version of yourself as yourself? a media expert, if I don't empower you to go out there and do it, you're not going to be the best. And I'm going to be the one sabotaging you and setting you up all because I'm insecure and I'm a control freak. No thanks.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Oh my gosh. All right. So always put yourself in the other person's shoes. That's the number one most important thing. You're solving a problem for them. So I'll use the example when I went to a publicly traded company, they didn't have a VP of sales position. And I saw as soon as I got to the company, I'm like, oh, there's so much lack in different markets. I saw the solution. I knew what the
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
solution was for their problem. They didn't know they had a problem, but I saw it. So now I had to put myself in the shoes of the decision maker and think, okay, what are his holdbacks? Fear of change, fear of failure, right? I had to think through all those challenges.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
So put yourself in their shoes, see what pain points they're going to have, see what fears they're going to have and address all of those in your pitch. So then you make it really easy for them to take hold of the idea and make it their own. So I went into the pitch, always go face to face. Don't do it on Zoom. Don't do it on email. Don't do it on the phone.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
You're very easy to say no to in those situations. It's much harder to look someone eye to eye and say no to them. So if something's important, pitch in person. And- I did my homework. I got to the meeting. I made the pitch and he said, no. And I learned such a big lesson that day. I ended up, I went back two weeks later and I was going to resign. I was going to take another job.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And he said, hang on a second. He excused himself from the restaurant, came back five minutes later. I said, where did you go? He said, oh, I had to call my father to get approval on the position, Heather. Yes, we're awarding you the VP of sales. And I learned this powerful lesson that even if you think someone's a decision maker, qualify it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Qualify it ahead of time so you don't waste your time or their time or make a misinformed decision.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
You put it out there. And that's the exact same thing that I did. I had Gary Vee on my podcast at the very end of the episode while we were still recording. I said, Gary, now, do you think that your audience could benefit from a story like mine and some of the tips and techniques that I can teach people how to bounce back from adversity? And he's like, absolutely.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I said, well, then I need to be on the show, right? I just showed up and asked. And then he put me on a show and right. But it's all about having that willingness.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
You have to be willing and allowing for someone to say no, knowing that's just part of the journey and that, you know what, it's a numbers game and you're just going to keep asking, bringing value and those right doors will open and see what happens.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Well, most people. I mean, we're going to keep a couple of caveats.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Nothing is going to replace hard work. And I know it would be beautiful if something could and there was a magic wand, but there isn't, right? Like competency builds confidence and competency comes from showing up and learning, right?
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And doing the hard work and making the business trips and like being in these meetings where you're asking and being told no and no and no, and you're refining your process and you're learning and you're understanding. You've got to immerse yourself in the suck. It sucks. I did not like being an account executive when I first started in the radio business.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I did not like being a first time author, having no idea how to sell books, but I had to stumble through the suck to start figuring out what did work. And that's what so often today, because of social media, because so many people only post the highlight reel, the people think, oh, she just stumbled out onto that stage and gave a great TEDx talk. Oh, hell no. I pitched for a hundred times.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I was told no a hundred times. for TEDx before I landed at TEDx, right? And then I worked for months on that speech that took 10 minutes that people just think I strolled out for on a Saturday, right? Like people don't see the work that goes in on the backend. So the most important thing is, Pick your head up. Like you were saying, ask for help. Sometimes you're not going to get it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
That's okay too. But you need to ask, ask. And when you don't get it, start self-teaching. We live in an incredible time. You want to learn from Ed Milet? Go put on his YouTube channel. Go put on his podcast. You want me to mentor you? Go turn on my podcast. But there's so much content and information out there. You can teach yourself anything. Last night I went into the kitchen.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
My son was in the oven. I'm like, what are you doing? He said, I just made banana bread. I'm like, well, I don't know how to make banana bread. He's like, well, you need to watch TikTok, mom. You can teach yourself anything if you have a phone or a computer. So I just see it as a weak excuse that people are being lazy if they don't want to build their skill set. Like knowledge is everywhere.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
It's up to you if you're going to access it and run with it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Well, I just want to say one thing to that point. You did a lot in academics before and people are going to say, oh, that's why she got Disney. Here's what I want to say is I'm coaching a very senior level executive at a Fortune 10 company. She's amazing. She never went to college. And for a long time, that was her hold back. This woman makes millions of dollars a year.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And she would say, I can't pitch myself for that because I don't have the pedigree. I don't have the Harvard MBA, right? Here's the thing. Instead, what she leaned into on the knowledge side was her experiences. Her network was where she spent her time. So your knowledge doesn't have to look the same way somebody else's does, right? Like I have a bachelor's
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
from Clark University, and then I have a ton of networking and experience on the job, right? Your formula can look so different than anybody else's. Yours can be entirely self-taught. Don't let any of it hold you back. It's just about immersing yourself in the place that you're supposed to go, doing that work that is that right fit for you at the time.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Ask for help. Find someone out there in your world, in your sphere of influence and reach out. Someone who is where you wanna go and send them a note and ask them for help. You never know what doors you could open.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Okay, so the way that I remember was, I don't know how we got connected, but you had me as a guest on your show and you and I just hit it off, like how you have chemistry with somebody right away. Like I knew I loved you and then your father passed away right during that time.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
To me, it truly is mindset over everything. Like you hold the key to unlocking the door to yourself. You hold the key to going bigger. There is no one holding you back. It is all on you. So unlock that door and go for it.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha

And so I just remember my heart was breaking for you and I was so worried about you and just reaching out to you to make sure that you were okay as someone who had just shown up in my life that I cared about. And I just wanted to know you were okay. And so that's why we started talking more than just around the podcast or whatever initially. And so I got to know you better and better.

Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And during that time, we would have different conversations and And I would say, Paul, I love your content. You're a marketing genius. Gosh, can you teach me sometime how you're doing this stuff for the podcast? And you would, on the weekends, set up calls with me. And you're so detail-oriented. You'd be sending me calendar invites for Saturday at 4 p.m.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And you and I would get on these Google Meets. And you would go through all teaching me just out of the kindness of your heart. oh, hey, Heather, this is like this tool that I'm using and this is this tool and this will help you with editing and teaching me all this stuff. And finally I was like, Kala, I can't do all this stuff. You just do it for me. I need you to do this for me.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And you were like, I can't, I'm so busy. Like the only time I have time is on the weekends and I can't, I'm working around the clock at Disney. And I'm like, you know what? Just freaking leave. You need to leave that job and you need to go all in and jump into this. This is a business for you. It's crystal clear to me. Like I saw it. so clear.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I saw your potential so much greater than what you were. You didn't do it at that time. I could see it. And so I said, I just know that if you make the leap and you jump in, the business is going to come. And for everybody listening right now, like that's a really important moment for anyone. Cause number one, you had the courage to make the leap, right?
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Which is critical, but you had the willingness to believe like that potential was within you. Now I will add that I'll never forget one day I was at the grocery store. I was at Publix in Miami. And you called me and you're like, we had been talking about this for a little while about leaving. Like it didn't happen overnight. Right. This was a few months.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Right. So there was months leading up to this. Right. She didn't just quit on a whim. But I'll never forget. I'm in Publix and you call and you were frantic. And I said, what's going on? And you're like, I don't know. Like I'm feeling guilty. I kind of sort of had it. Like you started having the conversation that you might be leaving. You kind of like floated it out there.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And then you were getting feedback like, no, you can't, you know, you can't leave. And you started panicking and questioning, am I making the right decision? I'll never forget. I was getting my son pasta sauce to make him pasta that night. I was like, And I put it down and I was like, listen to me right now. This is the right decision for you. Do not let them put fear into your mind.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Do not let them make you feel guilty. Do not let them talk you out of this. This is about you putting yourself first and taking the leap. I believe in you. I know you can do it. Go. And you did. And I'll never forget that. And I was so glad I picked up in Publix.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Well, listen, everybody comes into someone's life for a reason. It's up to you if you like, you accept it or some people close the door and push people away. Right.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
But I'm grateful for you because not only I was grateful to be able to have that opportunity to be there for you when you needed me, but then listen, you've repaid me millions of times over and the work that you do for me and the favors that you've done. So it's like in any relationship, it's a, There's two sides of that road, right? And it's like, when you need me, I'll be there.

Typically, it's a story that you're telling yourself. Like, so I don't know about everyone who's listening, but I'm sure there's a story somewhere that you might not even be realizing that you're telling yourself. For me, mine was, I had a sister who was really smart. She was a smart one. And so I would tell myself the story that I need to stay in my lane.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
I'm really good in sales and sales leadership. Like that's all I need to just focus. I'm lucky that I'm good at this and I should be grateful for it. And that's my story I need to hang on to. I personally had to be willing to let go of that story to say, wait, maybe I'm just a talented individual that can show up in different places and try and test different things and trust
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
That right path is going to unfold for me. And that for me was like a big leap of faith. And I run into so many people, whether I'm coaching them, whether it's on the podcast or whatever, on DMs, hearing that people are, it's so clear when they're holding on to some story that's not serving them at all.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
And it's just a matter of letting go of that story and taking a chance on themselves like you did.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
Because there's so much more potential for everybody out there. For a long time in my life, I lived a very linear path. And for many of us and anyone listening right now that is in corporate America, nothing bad about corporate America. There's great things out there. But sometimes we get so, we have our head down just in that industry, just in that role and just that title or just that company.
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha
Heather Monahan, Overcome Haters and Build Unstoppable Confidence | Leadership | YAPClassic
It's really important to pick your head up and say, let's start talking to people outside of this industry. Let's start talking to people who have very different backgrounds than me. Let's start opening our minds up to what other possibilities and potentials are out there. And I'll tell you for 20 something years, when I was in corporate,
Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha

I spoke for free everywhere as part of my job, had no idea there was a speaking business because I hadn't opened up my mind to it. I hadn't been speaking to people in that industry. And I used to say, people would say to me, you're a gifted speaker. You're so lucky. And I thought, yeah, great. So what? It's not like that could pay the bills for me. And My mind was closed.

I was just looking at this one linear path in front of me. And it wasn't until I decided to blow up those lanes and just go out and see what I could find that I ended up finding a speaking business and ended up right when all these different doors started opening. So that's my want for people is that they pick their heads up and start living lamelessly.

Yeah, my whole life and career was in corporate America. And that was truly the only, when I was younger, I'm 47, when I was younger, there weren't people in the entrepreneurial space. Nobody did that, right? Like Gary Vee didn't exist back then. And so there was never messaging that, oh, this is an opportunity for you. The messaging was always nine to five, corporate America, figure it out.

So to me, my goals were always very linear, clear that this is where I want to be successful and this is what I'm going to do. So I never thought about possibilities outside of it. I just thought, get to the C-suite, right? That's what I wanted to get to. So I got to the C-suite. I was in the media business for 20 something years. I was named one of the most influential women in radio in 2017.

And then literally a month later, I was fired unexpectedly when the CEO I had worked for for 14 years became ill and he elevated his daughter to to replace him. That was the end of my corporate journey.

Okay, so well, it's funny. It's more the way that I responded that now that like when I reflect on it, I remember She wasn't very nice to me, obviously. Like, you know, you have great chemistry with some people, you don't with some. She and I were very different. So I used to think, okay, that's all right. But then I started thinking, Holland, this was a red flag.

And for anyone listening, think about this in your life. I was dialing myself down. I was like, I shouldn't wear my hair down today because she rolls her eyes when I have my hair down. Okay, I'll put my hair in a bun. Oh, I shouldn't wear a dress. I'll wear a pantsuit. I started changing very slowly and quietly who I was in hopes it would appease her and make her feel better.

That is the wrong move. Being a B-rate version of yourself is never the answer. And if you are with people who do not appreciate and celebrate you for who you are, you are in the wrong room and you got to find your people.

Bingo. That's exactly it. Right. But I at the time, I remember I would talk myself into it like, Heather, you have such a big job. I'm a single mom. I have so much responsibility. You know, I built this. massive team. I was responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars. I would say to myself, okay, take your ego out of it.

Like I would convince myself this was the right thing, but it was wrong and it never felt right. And the thing is your intuition is always going to steer you right. You've got to dial up that voice journal, do whatever it takes to spend time alone, go for a walk and things through. How do I feel when I'm around these people?
