#318: The BEST Way To Access & Act On Your Inner KNOWING With Heather!

Come on this journey with me each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity, and set you up for a better tomorrow. I'm ready for my close up. Hi and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me this week. Okay. As we are moving through NBA playoff season, I don't know if you're a huge basketball fan, but at my house, oh my gosh, this is like the center of our evening. Every night we're watching NBA playoffs. We're. My son is a huge basketball fan and it's so cool. Cause I always like to watch situations. It can be in business and sports, in life, and then apply it back to different areas in your life. Do you ever do that? So last night we were listening to Shaquille o', Neal, who's hilarious and one of the commentators for the NBA and the after show, and he was talking about how it's game seven with Steph Curry and you know, and he's such a veteran and so talented. However, this was interesting. I thought this was really interesting. They were arguing. Charles Barkley and Shaq were arguing a little bit about the idea that going into a Game seven, it really could be anybody's game. Right. There are stats and data that show home court advantage. You know, so there's some things, some elements, you know, who's injured, who's not injured, whatever. Obviously those are factors. I get it. But the big factors they were pointing to, and these are all EX players, MVPs, like incredible players. They're saying it's mindset. They're saying. And it was interesting because Golden State is a more veteran team. And they were saying that Golden State going in with a more veteran team might have it harder because they know the pressure they're walking into. I thought that was super interesting. Right? Cause typically, don't you want to think it's the opposite, like the person with the more experience and expertise. And if you've been in this situation before, then, you know, you probably can play it cooler. They also were debating an angle that the more rookie team doesn't know what they're walking into. Ignorance is bliss. They don't have that pressure on them. This might be their only game seven ever. And their mindset just might be so optimistic walking in and excited for the game that they're not getting in their own head and. And maybe the more veteran players are. So I thought that was super interesting. We'll see how it all plays out tonight. But. And again, there's 9 million other factors that can occur that could influence a game. But I do believe mindset is everything. Mindset is everything in sports, mindset is everything in life, mindset is everything in business, mindset is everything in relationships. Mindset is everything everywhere. But we don't necessarily always pause to appreciate that and realize how much power we have over our own situations, our own life, regardless of what's going on outside of us. So today I kind of want to dive into that topic. I'm going to give some examples from my own life and some things that I've learned. A book that I love, that I want to read a couple pages to you from. And just looking at what's in our control, what's out of our control, to really take a look at how can we best impact our life today? What decision can we make today to make today a better day, which is obviously gonna make tomorrow a better day, that is gonna have this domino effect in our life and really get ourselves to think about the power within our own mind and hopefully have these conversations with our family members, our loved ones, the people in our inner circle to help empower them too. We should all be empowered. We shouldn't be dictated scarcity and fear by the media and the news. Because if you turn TV on right now, that's what you're gonna see. Uncertainty, fear, crisis. But you know what? You can have peace inside. You can have a lot of control. And there's a number of different ways to do it. And it's interesting, I just left church and our pastor was talking about this. Our pastor was talking about Jesus knows anxiety firsthand and died on the cross, you know, giving us this opportunity to be forgiven and have life and live the best life we can. And it's on us to let go of that anxiety, let go of it and live in the peace of Jesus Christ. And live in the peace, knowing that when we surrender to God, that's our job. Not trying to control every outcome, not trying to control everything and dictate our way, but instead surrender. And surrender is such a peaceful way to find joy, to find peace, to find your path. And it was just such a beautiful message. I loved it. It resonated so much with me. So of course I've gotta share it with you. But before I get into that, I've gotta tell you anyt, I find something incredible. I have to share it with you guys. I think I've told you about this before. Element is game changing. First of all, as we move into summer months, you need to understand that you have to stay hydrated. I was at an event last summer in Las Vegas and someone was not hydrated. And that person went down, literally passed out. Right. You have to hydrate your vessel. That's one of the most important things. First of all, not only to feel good, but to look good, too. P.S. i live in Miami and it is hot, hot out here in the summer months. And if you're someone who loves to work out like I do, you've got to hydrate your vessel. And this is the best way to do it. Yes, there's lots of hydration packets out there, but they all have tons of sugar. And my son had me on a mission trying to find a hydration pack without sugar. And we finally found it. Element. Yes, we got you. It's a tasty electrolyte drink mixed with everything you need and nothing you don't. No sugar. I mean, that is incredible. I believe it's the only one. It's the only one I've found. Element is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs, and it's perfectly suited for anyone with low carb diets, paleo diets, any kind of special diets. You're going to love this thing. It's the healthiest hydration out there. It's science backed electrolyte ratio, 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams potassium, and 60 milligrams magnesium. We with none of the junk. No sugar, no coloring, no artificial ingredients. This is what you need. Now, my son has been using this. He is playing AAU basketball and is literally in tournament after tournament. Multiple tournaments a weekend, multiple games a day. It's intense. And this guy trains so hard. And it's not just him, it's his whole team. I mean, element has been game changing for him. He was having cramping, he was feeling lightheaded, not feeling clear, not feeling strong. Every single game, he's pouring element into his water. And it has been incredibly helpful. And I am the exact same way. I love running outside. And as time moves on in Miami, it's getting warmer and warmer. And unfortunately, I know that if I am not well hydrated before I head out of the house, I'm gonna be in trouble half an hour into a run because it's literally that hot and that humid. So element is what I take before I head out so that I have a great run. I don't have any cramping, I don't get lightheaded. I feel great, and my runs are better than ever. So if you like working out, you like working out in summer months, I'm telling you, Element is what you need.

Show so mindset is critical in anything that we do and this was brought up to us today by my pastor at church Shout out to Vood Church. Incredible. If you have not checked out Voodoo Church you gotta check it out YouTube. You can always catch any one of our sermons there. They're just amazing. So Pastor Rich was preaching today and preaching about anxiety and preaching about the fear of uncertainty and the power that the media holds over people and the scarcity mindset. And that is not what Jesus Christ wanted for us. However, he was sharing that in the Bible. It shows Jesus knew what anxiety was like. And because he knows what it is, you know, we are absolved of this. We don't have to carry that pain over. We can turn that over to God. We can ask God to relieve us of this anxiety and surrender to God. And when we surrender, we truly find peace. But so often, I know, myself included, I wanna control everything. And listen, here's the thing. We can have our free will. That's up to each and every one of us, or we can choose to turn it over and surrender to something so much larger and greater than us. I live now in the latter. I'm all about surrender. I am all about turning it over to God. However, I was not that way when I was younger. I thought I had to control everything and that if I didn't have control over everything, everything would go wrong. Truly believed that I was a control freak. I am no longer a control freak. Well, I mean, listen, we all have our small struggles, right? So, no, I'm a work in progress. But I definitely turned over to God. And one of the things Pastor Rich was talking about today is the importance of prayer daily and multiple times daily. Like anything, the more you do it, the more disciplined you are in it. The more you turn to prayer, the more that becomes a habit and routine for you, the more you're gonna see powerful impacts on your life. Miracles and blessings every day. Praying once in a random while isn't gonna make that happen. So I'm hoping that you make prayer part of your life. I'm hoping that you're willing to turn it over to God, something, a higher power, so much greater than you or I, so that you can see life doesn't have to be that hard. And our mindset is what's actually dictating it. Okay, so this is a book called Mind Power. This is not an ad, by the way, by John Kehoe. I really love this book. I don't remember who recommended it to me. It's a really old book, by the way. But I'm just gonna read a page for you just to give you an idea about what it's about. But it's incredible. Okay. This is a quote from the Bible. To them that hath more shall be given to them that has not even what little they have will be taken away. Luke 19:26. Okay. When I first read this quote, I didn't think it was fair. It didn't seem fair that them that had would get more and them that had not would lose what little they had. It just doesn't seem right. I Thought it would be more just if them that had not were given more. But that is not what the scripture says. This, according to the Bible, is not the way the universe works. But then, upon reflection, I realized that it was indeed fair. In fact, what could be more fair than every person's freedom to choose for himself or herself thoughts which will in turn create their own reality? There is a great fairness and the complete freedom to determine the quality of one's own life. Want to change your circumstances? Develop the necessary consciousness. A successful person has a success consciousness. A wealthy person has developed a prosperity consciousness and his thoughts are on abundance, success, prosperity. That's how he thinks. Easy for him. You say when you're successful, it's easy to think success. And when you're wealthy, it's easy to think prosperity. But my situation is totally different. I'm not successful. I'm not wealthy. The situations and circumstances of my life keep me down. Wrong, dead wrong. Your circumstances and situations never keep you down. The only things that keep you down and keep you stuck are your thoughts. With work and practice, you can learn to direct your thoughts and create any consciousness you choose. Your reality will change only after you've developed your new consciousness, not before. The new consciousness must come first. What is it that you want in your life? Do you know? More health. Then get health consciousness, more power. Then get power consciousness, more prosperity. Get clear on what you want and change your mindset. Okay, so that was just a page excerpt from Mind Power, which I absolutely love. It's an incredible book. Very, very old book, but so interesting. So much about visualization, seeding affirmations, like all these basics that we know to do in theory. But I guess when people get busy, when we get into our routines, we don't make time for it. Make time to create intentionally the mindset that you want so that you can have the life you desire. That is true, this is fact. And this I know firsthand in my life. So for me, you know, I look back across my life and there's times I call it a knowing. And I wonder, I'm so interested to know if you had times like this. Like it's so clear to you, whether it's God speaking to you, your inner voice, or you just locked into something and you are so committed to doing it, you know it is happening, right? I've had all of those experiences. I'm so interested and curious to know if you have. Definitely send me a DM and let me know if you have. But there's a few that stick out to Me. So I wanna share em with you. Cause these are real. This is true. And I believe if you ask God every day I ask God, God, please close the door on those that are not meant for me and please open the door to that which is meaning I don't know what the right business partnership is relationship is, what the right idea for my next book is, whatever it may be. But if it's not meant for me, let's close the door on that and let's open the door to that which is. And God knows what the right ones are. God has the plan, not me. And the more I'm willing to surrender to that idea, the more incredible people and opportunities show up for me. That is complete fact. You have to be open and aligned to receiving it and be grateful for it. I say every day, thank you God for these 11th hour miracles. Thank you for speaking through me. Thank you, thank you for showing me the way. And I don't know what that will be, but I am your humble servant and I'm here and ready to receive it. Okay, so earlier in my life I've had really interesting experiences with this knowing. And again, I believe it can be different things. I can believe it be it's God speaking through you. I believe it's God guiding you. I believe it's your inner intuition which some people may say is our higher power. I believe sometimes for me it was. I got so locked in on something, I knew that there was no way I wasn't doing it. And for me that's been a popular one for me. And now I'm trying to move more and more into the surrender one. Just give it over to God and let God show me the way. But here was an interesting one. I remember when I was engaged and I was pregnant. Now I got engaged and then I got pregnant right after and it was this really hard moment where my ex husband's parents were Southern, right? So it was like this question of, oh my gosh, you're gonna have to run and get married. And like, what are you gonna what? This is a mess. Like how did this happen? And I'll never forget I was in my old condo and I was 10 weeks pregnant. I just found out I was pregnant. And we were shocked. Like this wasn't, you know, everyone wasn't like, oh, singing for joy, blissful moment. We had only put a deposit down on where we were getting married and that wasn't for over a year, right? So it was one of those, oh gosh, this is a disaster. And what are we gonna do. I guess everyone kind of saw it as an awful moment. It ended up being the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life. My son is the greatest person ever. So grateful for him every day, literally, guys changed my life for the better. So I remember staring out the window. I was alone. I was at home. I was 10 weeks pregnant, and people were not excited. And I remember looking out the window, and I don't know if I said, God, please help me know what to do. Like, what do I do? I'm so devastated. I'm scared. You know, I was uncertain. I felt uncertain and scared. And right away. And I believe this was God. I really do believe this is God. Right away, in my mind, it came crystal clear, as if someone was talking to me. This baby is everything for you. This is your baby. This is your person. Like, this is it. Like, this is your moment, and this is a big reason why you're here. And it was so powerful and so clear. I wonder if you've ever had a moment like that. That that was. Was like flipping the switch. I knew no matter what happened, this wasn't a negative thing. This was the most positive thing in the world. And I was grateful for it. And that and this child's a miracle, and I can't wait to meet him. And so anyways, that knowing came to me in that moment. I never had a doubt again. I never felt upset about it again. I felt at peace. I felt so clear. I felt so strong and committed to my child and so excited for my child. Cut to My son's 15 now. My son's changed my life in the most miraculous ways. My son's taught me how to live with an open heart. My son's taught me what real love is about. Unconditional love is about. Like, my son has taught me things that I didn't learn growing up. I had a challenging situation in my childhood, and so I didn't trust a lot of people. You know, I had some serious ptsd. We'll just put it that way. But my son helped me work through that, and it was so crazy. I'm sure he doesn't know he did that, but maybe God put him here on this earth to help me with that, because he certainly has, and it's been the best blessing in my life. That moment of knowing changed everything and made it so much easier. Okay, here's another one. This might be. And knowing that I don't know if this is divine intervention or not. This was when I believe I locked in on something. When I was in my early 20s, I became an equity partner. We bought a company for 25 million. I got dropped off by my partner in Saginaw, Michigan, and I was told to accelerate revenues as fast as possible and sell that thing so we could make a lot of money. I did. Within three years, we sold it for 55 million, netting a $30 million profit. However, when I tell you how hard that was, I worked seven days a week for three years, no vacations, living in Saginaw, Michigan. Didn't know anybody. Like, life was not glamorous or great back then. It was just about work. And work was hard. I was so much younger than everybody else, and, you know, people gave me a hard time, blah, blah, blah. But bottom line is this. I had this clarity. Every day. I would look in the mirror of my car on my way to work, and I was like, you are selling this thing. Like, this is. Is happening. I knew every day I was so locked in on the outcome, nothing would deter me. And let me tell you. Oh, my gosh, there were so many things. I was sexually harassed. I had people so nasty trying to sabotage me that, like, so I made so many mistakes. I did so many things wrong, right? Like, there was so many. Ugh. We had a huge deal. Like, we thought we had it sold, and it fell apart. But I was so clear that it was selling. I always knew it would and it did. Okay, so that was one, I believe, was more like, I was committed so much the outcome and focused so much on the outcome. I locked in with it. Okay. Then there was this moment. I was speaking in Texas. This was probably 10 years ago. This was one of the. Back then, it was one of the largest stages I had taken. There was thousands of people there. It was at, I believe it was a national association of Broadcasters. And that night went so well. I was speaking, I. In my mind, I killed it. I mean, I did really, really well. Again, it was 10 years ago, so I'm a lot better now. Thankfully, practice does a lot. But I got off the stage that night, and I remember feeling like magic. And in that moment, there was a knowing. This, I believe, is God your higher power. There was this knowing. There's something so much bigger for me out there than what I'm currently doing. And it has something to do with this, something to do with speaking. And I didn't know what it was. I didn't even know there was a spe. I didn't know you could get paid for speaking back then. Like, I was clueless but there was a knowing inside me somehow. When you have those moments, guys, like, hang onto it, write it down, keep revisiting it. You might not have the path or the plan or the roadmap on how to make that your business. But if you feel like magic, pause, pay attention, and understand. This is a calling so much greater than you. This could be your purpose, your life's mission. This could be why God put you here. You need to start stepping into that, figuring out a way to step into it to find why you really are here. And as you take those steps, doors will start opening, you'll build momentum.

And.

You can start feeling like magic a lot, which is really amazing. Okay, so that was another, like, knowing moment. Okay, here's another one. Selling my last condo, that was a complete disaster. We had so many deals fall through. There was this huge condo going up right next door to us. There was so much construction. I was getting flat tires every week because there was nails everywhere. It was just. It was first world problems, but a little bit of a disaster. But I'll never forget, I was in the elevator one day, and I just knew. There were so many serendipitous moments along the way, from starting with my realtor to how my neighbor's the one that came over and told me I needed to sell. Like, it. It was serendipitous. Literally divine timing, divinely led from day one. And. And I knew it. Something inside of me knew it. And I'll never forget, I was in the elevator one day with a guy that lived in the building with me, and he was complaining and complaining about the construction, which I get. It was such a pain. And I was kind of smiling, you know, I was just nodding my head. And he said, why are you not bothered by this? He's like, don't you understand how much worse this is going to be in six months, Heather? And I said, oh, I'm not going to be here. And he said, what do you mean? I said, oh, I'm moving. He said, I didn't know your place has sold. I said, oh, it hasn't sold yet, but it is. And he kind of just laughed. And that was it. But it was that moment. I'm like, oh, yeah, no, I know. There was no doubt in my mind I wasn't gonna be there. And guess what? Three months later, I was gone. So, again, just that knowing. And I don't know for you if that's coming from a higher power. I don't know if that's coming from your intuition. If it's coming from God or if it's coming from you. Locking in so hard and so committed to something. But I promise you that if you surrender and if you pray for these things, you're gonna have a lot more serendipitous moments. All right, this is the last one I'm gonna give you. I love this one. Okay. So as we went under contract again from my last deal, from selling my last condo, I knew I had. I don't know, it was like six weeks and I had to be out of there. And I had found this one condo I wanted to rent so bad in this incredible building. It was two stories. It was so beautiful. It was gonna give my son his own floor. Which, by the way, made me a little nervous. Cause I wondered if he was gonna sneak out. But all right, there was like. It wasn't perfect, but it was so beautiful. It was incredible. Let's be honest, this place was crazy nice anyhow. It was expensive. Not gonna lie. This would be pushing me. But sometimes I feel like when I push myself on the financial side, I've gotta just work harder on the revenue side. You know, revenue fixes all problems. I'll lean in and sell more, right? Sell more books, sell more, download more podcasts, share with your friends. This girl needs your help. Or launch new product lines or there's always something you can do, right? There's always a way, there's always a problem you can solve that you can package up and charge something for and make the world a better place. That's how I live my life, right? So even though it was expensive, I'm like, you know what I gotta lean into. This place is the bomb. I want to live here. It will bring me so much joy. I'll be so excited. Oh, my gosh. You're not going to believe it. I decided I'm going to go there every chance I get, See myself. I'm gonna visualize myself living there. I'm gonna visualize it that I, you know, this is my place. So I did that a lot. Cause I wanted the outcome to be what I wanted. But at the same time, I prayed. I prayed to God every day. God, please close the doors that are not meant for me. Please open the ones that are. Please, please ensure that Dylan and I live in a safe, beautiful home with so much joy, around wonderful people, that we're living our best life, that we're excited every day, and we are where you want us to be, where we are divinely led. And I would ask this of God every Day. Plus I'd go and visualize the place I wanted to live. Wouldn't you know, the place I wanted to live got sold right out from under me before I could make an offer. Cause I hadn't closed on my other place yet. So I was devastated. I thought, wait, no, this was my plan. This is how I wanted it, right? Like, no, this is what I wanted. And then I start. So immediately I had to start looking at places like crazy because Miami real estate moves very quickly out here. So I was going everywhere with all these realtors, was taking up way too much time. I found a place I didn't really love, but I thought, you know what? I got to get a home for my son, he's school. Like, I can't have us living in a hotel. I. I just, I'm gonna make an offer. So I made an offer in a place I didn't really love. Completely going away from what I'm preaching to you today, that we, you know, need to be divinely led. And started getting in an argument with the realtor when I got home on text message because she was saying I wasn't offering enough money and I needed to offer more money. And my son says, mom, why are you all aggravated? I said, oh, I'm arguing with this realtor. And he looked at me, put his hand on my hand and said, mom, if it's part of God's plan, it will come with grace and ease. You won't have to argue, you won't have to feel upset, and you won't have to feel like you don't love it. Let it go. And I turned the phone over, taking my 15 year old's advice. And somebody else came in and got that place. In the morning I woke up and they told me, you lost it. And I said, okay, thank you. And literally the next day, my realtor took me to see three places. The last place is where I live now. And the minute I walked in to my condo, I started kissing the walls. I said, this is where I'm meant to live. It was serendipitous. I knew the minute I walked in. And yes, I did kiss the walls. And yes, their realtor thought I was crazy, but she did approve me. And we live here now, so. And it's been incredible. We love it here. So again, turning it over to your higher power, knowing that when one door closes, it's cause a better one's ready to open for you. And it's so hard to know that in the moment. And I get it. I did not want to let that two story condo go. I was heartbroken and I was crying in my soup for like two weeks about it. Poor me and why did I lose it? And now I live somewhere so much better that isn't as expensive, that isn't as ginormous. I didn't need all that space, right? But I was just so excited when I saw it. I live where I'm meant to live now and I'm so grateful for that. And I was divinely led here. So allow yourself to be divinely led. Surrender, pray to God and ask for help and settle in on that knowing. And know that if that one doesn't work out, it's cause God's got a better plan for you. And we've got to be willing to accept that. Even though in the moment it can.

So there's things that are in our control and there's things that are out of our control, right? So what's out of your control? Changing people, changing circumstances outside of you. God's timing, Our past and others actions. Right? So we gotta let those go. Those are out of our control. But what is in your control? Loving people. The actions that we're gonna take today. Walking by faith. Trusting in God and God's plan for you. What you focus on. Rest. How much sleep you get. Joy. Finding joy in every day and practicing gratitude. Your prayers and how you spend your time and who you spend your time with. Right? So there's so much that's in our control. There's so much that we can do. And to me it's really about doing the things that you love. Being with the people you love. Focusing on all the good that we already have surrounding us. Because when we do that, we're gonna create more of it and paying attention to, you know, what are we accessing? Are you sitting around watching the media and scare tactics, or are you checking out game seven and cheering on Steph Curry tonight? I. Da, da. But I will tell you, we will be cheering on Steph Curry tonight and the Miami Heat, of course. So be aware, be intentional, and also give yourself some grace and know that we can't control it all. We can't dictate it all. We don't know the master plan. All we can do is surrender to God, turn it over to our higher power, and pray for the things we want, the things that we believe we need, and let go for God's plan and know that it's always gonna be so much greater than what you expected and sometimes so different and so surprising. And that's the beauty of uncertainty. When everything is uncertain, anything is possible. And I'll also say prayer works. Okay? That's just fact. You know, my best friend was dealing with a cancer scare for the last six weeks. It was an absolute nightmare. One of the scariest things to happen to one of my closest friends. And she's clear now. And we prayed every single day. We prayed multiple prayers every day. I was sending her prayers every day. I mean, she was praying. I was like, everyone was praying. And it worked. Prayer works. And the same thing happened during the same exact time. My other really, really dear friend here in Miami, her husband, same thing, cancer scare, same situation, happened so fast. And they were both such healthy people. And prayer works. And they're both clear now. So don't underestimate the power of prayer. It's fact. Go Google it and research it, and you will see it is fact. Prayer works. But as my pastor also said today, you've gotta watch for the signs around you. Watch for the doors that are closing. Watch for where God is leading you. Watch for the messages. Ask for the messages and then listen for them, too. That's your strategy. And then prayer is the action step that you're taking to make it happen. And do it on the daily. Don't do it once in a while. If you want some divine intervention, you want some massive blessings and angels in your life, pray multiple times a day. Nothing bad will come of it. Only good. That is for sure. Okay? And if you don't know, I don't know if you don't know this yet or not, but who you surround yourself with matters, right? If you're not on the right team, and this is so interesting, I went to my chiropractor the other day, and we were talking about his goals and his vision board, and he's like, listen, I need to go to the next level. I said, I know what your problem is. You're always in here working, so you're isolated. You need to be around a team of people that are ahead of you, that own their own companies, that are billionaires, that are at that next level. You've got to put yourself in those arenas. You've got to get around people that are going to stretch you to grow so you can see what's possible. Isolating yourself or staying around the same people you're always around is not going to challenge the way you're thinking. And see. See what is possible for you. I have a friend that's a billionaire, and anytime I have a crazy idea, I call him and run it by him. And he's always like, yeah, go for it. Why wouldn't you take action now? Take messy action. You'll figure it out. I think it's brilliant. Go for it. He believes in any new idea could be a great new business. That's how he's lived his life. And look at the success that he has. So to me, I want to be in those rooms. I want to be around those people. I want to be around people stretching themselves to grow, holding themselves accountable and pushing themselves to the next level. When you do that, you start to realize your potential. You start to build momentum, and watch out where you start to do some real good. So get around the right people. Team is everything. I have five spots left on my team for my mastermind this year. This is one year. Your ride with me, two live in person events. We are twice a month. We're on zoom, we're in group chat, we're on email. I mean, this is your team. If you've been thinking about going to the next level, if you want to take the big stages, you want to elevate your brand, maybe you've got a book, a podcast you want to bring to life or you want to take it bigger. This is the crew to do it with. If not this, then what? That's what I would leave you with. Right? If you're not happy with where you are today, then what are you going to do? You don't need to do the mastermind. You should do what works for you. But I'll promise you this, if you don't take action and do something, you're going to be in the same place one year from today that you are now. And that's not good for anyone. So check out my show notes below. The Elite Mastermind. I've got five spots left. Or go to heathermonahan.com, click Elite Mastermind. You can apply there and someone from the team will be in touch with you in the next 24 hours. I just wanna say keep creating your confidence. You know I will be. And also if you could please share the show with somebody, it would mean the world to me. No one succeeds alone. And that includes your girl. Be intentional today. Visualize your goals. Pray for what you want and pay attention to the signs around you. And get excited for today. Get excited for tomorrow. Because I know there's greatness happening for you. I decided to change that dynamic. I couldn't be more excited for what you're gonna hear. Start learning and growing. Inevitably something will happen. No one succeeds alone. You don't stop and look around once in a while. You could miss it. Come on this journey with me.
