I hope you love this one as much as I do. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me this week. Okay. I got some incredible responses from recent episodes. You guys loved the episode with Ashley Stahl, which I thought was so cool. The Jason Tardick episode, people love. That one was so good. He got into how to deal with haters. I thought that was super important. Ashley was sharing with everybody how to open up any kind of a talk to grab people's attention. And it was so, so flipping good. I'm actually bringing her on my speaker mastermind to teach my team. She's so incredibly talented. Okay, then. I got this amazing note. Sharing a message from my church and pastor last week really helped somebody who is on a journey reconnecting to God and finding their way and just made me so happy. Like, we're all here for a short period of time and to have the opportunity to affect people in a positive way means the world to me.
B
I get so excited.
A
I am so grateful. So thank you for all of your messages. Thank you for sharing this show with others that you think it can help. Thank you for posting about it. Nobody succeeds alone, including your girl right here. Okay. So I gave a talk this weekend in Palm beach and it was for a bunch of entrepreneurs. And what's interesting is I wasn't sure exactly what I was gonna speak about. I'd like to look at the room ahead of time, you know, get to a handle on the people I'm gonna be presenting to. And I don't recommend this for everybody. I've been speaking for, you know, 25 years, so I've got a lot of talks on lock because I just put the reps in, right? I do. I'm speaking all the time, so I'm able to pivot in the moment because I put the practice in. When I got there, I started, you know, seeing faces and I don't know, I just felt called to share some different stories, which I did. I always story sell facts tell, right? So I always think it's important to lead with A story. But I really got into this idea that I want to share with you today because I got a lot of feedback about it and people were surprised, which shocked me. I got into this idea two things that hard work works. I grew up poor. And one thing I learned from growing up poor was just outwork everybody else. People are mediocre, right? The general masses is general for a reason. My son always says, be grateful for that, right? Otherwise we couldn't be excelling or exceeding at something if other people weren't trying hard, right? So try hard. I am a try hard. I work really, really hard. I always have. And growing up poor taught me that,
B
like, you didn't have to be the
A
smartest person in the room. You didn't have to go to Harvard. You just had to outwork everybody. Now, I'm not suggesting that be your only strategy. Cause for a long time that was my strategy and I didn't have any other strategies. And for sure you can get burnt out with that. But today I wanna share with you the strategies that are working for me. And I promise, if you test them, I want for you, I want success for you. I want happiness for you. I want you to have everything in life that you deserve and desire. Try it. I always say this to my kid. If there's no downside to it, like, if I'm not asking you to light yourself on fire, like, there's no risk, right? If I'm asking you to work hard and put in extra effort for the next month, do it. See how different your life will become. See how much better you will do and how things will start working out for you. Okay? So one, one strategy is just to outwork everybody. Fact. It works hard work works. What's funny is so many people came up to me after the talk and they were saying they had no idea I worked so hard, that they had been following me for years on LinkedIn, loved my content, but didn't realize I worked hard. What do people think? Like, I just run around with like a lucky Buddha and fall into situations? No, I outwork everybody. I still do. And I don't want that to be my best strategy. I don't think it is anymore. However, it's still part of my game plan, right? It just, you gotta work hard, you gotta show up, you gotta put the effort in. The most successful people in the world still showed up every day, putting the work in hard work works. And try hard. Because why wouldn't you? Why would you want to be general or average? Gosh, no chance. I Want to be the best and reach the potential that I have within me. And every day that's changing and growing and there's new opportunity providing itself and we've got to grow and go for more. All right, so one, start working hard. Give me a month of hard work, right? Start trying really hard. Put the extra effort in. It's so worth it. When you start treating yourself like you're worth it, other people start treating you like you're worth it too, right? So, like, put that extra effort into you. Meet a different guest each week. If you're like me, you are in

I asked you to try to find your passion. I was sharing how, you know, I tried really hard to get ready and look nice and, you know, put the reps in and everything before I take a stage. And I was reminding people, I don't wake up like this, right? Like, I right now I'm in my sweatpants. Cause I'm not on video, right? I'm just in my sweatpants with no makeup on. And yeah, there's days like this on a Sunday afternoon. But if I'm showing up to do a job, I'm gonna go all in and try really, really hard. Cause I care and I want to be that best version of myself. And for me, when I look good, I feel more confident, right? Like, I get my swag on. Like, I feel like I got this, right? So you gotta do the things that set you up for success to make you the most confident that you can be in any situation. Try hard, put the work in, it works. Major hack. Major underrated hack. Okay, that was one. The other thing that I got into for this talk with the entrepreneurs. Well, I got into a few different things, but one of them was to hold that vision, right? That good things take time, great things take longer. I've been talking about this a lot lately because a bunch of amazing things have been happening in my life. Find the right who. Find the person that's done the thing you want to do and find a way to get to them. Invest in yourself, Hire them, right? Like, hire them as a mentor, hire them as a coach. Because that's how you can really start figuring out the hacks, tips and tricks to get things done. I was sharing the story around how I landed my book deal with HarperCollins leadership. And again, like, I think people forget this stuff. But it wasn't a layup. My first book, I self published, right? And I hired an editor. I invested in myself, somebody who had written 19 books to help me write my first book. Right. I hired the company called Scribe Media to help me create the COVID and the layout and get the Amazon ISBN. I didn't know how to do those things. I invested in myself. I hired someone who had been where I wanted to go. Right. And I highly encourage you to do the same. Whatever that is for you. But when it came time for me to try to get a book publishing deal, I remember Googling the number one female nonfiction author. And at the time it was Rachel Hollis. And I found who her agent was. I put myself in the agent's shoes, right? This is what selling is. And I thought, what could be appealing or desirable to her about me? And I realized Rachel Hollis writes pretty exclusively about her Christian faith. That's what she really leans into. Her past is, you know, all around the church. And for me, my past is all around business. I write so much about business and my experiences in business, what I've learned. So I thought, listen, I'm gonna reach out to this woman. She already has a roadmap for success based on what Rachel's done. I'm not competitive with Rachel. Cause I'm talking about business. She's talking about the church and her Christian faith. She can very easily use that same roadmap for success for me. It's not competitive. It's not gonna take away at her existing client. It's gonna be additive and it's not gonna be any more work for her. So that was the way that I set myself up to approach her. And of course she was interested. No additional work, new revenue stream and solving a problem. Right. People are always looking to grow revenue. So put yourself in their shoes. Find a way to solve a problem that they have, make it very little work for them. Because reality is nobody wants to work hard, even though I'm always advocating for it. That's the irony there. So she said, yeah, yeah, I'm super interested. Send me your book proposal. And I didn't know what a book proposal was, right? Like I'd only ever self published. So I said, I don't even know what that is. And she said, well, our conversation's over then. Heather, I can't talk to you without a book proposal. I said, well, let me ask one more question. If you had a daughter or a special friend that you love so much that wanted to write a book proposal and didn't know how, who would you send them to? And she said, well, Peter economy. And that's all I needed. I said, you're going to hear from me soon. So I tweeted at Peter Economy. And I said, peter, you're not going to believe it. Jill wants us to work together, blah, blah, blah. He tweeted back at me. And I hired Peter Economy. And it was a lot of money. I invested in myself, right? I hired someone who had been where
B
I wanted to go.
A
You're going to see through my journey. That's so much of what I do, is just finding that right who and hiring them. I promise you, that's how you can move a lot faster, too. So I hired him. We worked on the book proposal. We wrote and rewrote that book proposal 15 times. 1, 5. 15. It was almost a year in the making just to do the book proposal, not the book. On the 15th time, I said, peter, I think I'm done with Jill. Like, I just don't think that she likes me. I don't think she gets me. Like, 15 times we've rewritten this thing. It's freaking awesome. Like, what's wrong with her? He said, all right, send it this 15 time. And if she doesn't say yes, let's go find you another agent. Maybe she isn't the right fit for you. Well, on the 15th time, she said yes. I share that story with you because, again, and I shared it at the event this weekend. Here's why people think, like, I just fall into book deals. No, this was, like, a year out of my life. And, like, failing and failing and. And redoing and invest and hiring and, like, not knowing if it was ever going to work out, right? So often success looks easy on the outside, but when you see what's really happening on the inside, it's a series of fall, get down, get back up. Fall, get down, get back up. Like, keep grinding, keep trying, keep changing, keep improving, and keep swinging. Even not knowing if you're ever going to connect and hit it out of the park and just praying that you do, right? Having that faith that, okay, good things take time, great things take longer. I'm going to stay on this path. So I ended up signing with her. Then I signed with her. And wouldn't you know that we were in the middle of a pandemic. And it was the worst time in the world to be pitching a book deal. And the first six companies we pitched said no, the next seven said yes. But again, I'm setting you up to understand. Like, I get node all the time, all of the time. But I just don't go away, right? Like, I reinvent myself, I regroup. I take a different approach. I reach out to somebody different It's a numbers game. Like, listen, you're always one ask one person, one idea away from the right deal, right place, right situation, right date, right? Like, it only takes one. It doesn't take 9 million. It takes one. Yes. That you need to get. It takes that one right person that you need to meet. And when you approach things with that attitude, I promise, things just start working out in your best interests. They certainly do. Okay, so a couple other things that I didn't share at the event, but I want to share with you that I was thinking about, you know, over the last couple of years that have made a big difference in my business and in my success. And I want you to try it. Please try it. It's wild. One of the big things that opened up like a vortex of positive energy for me was clearing out and decluttering my last house. When I was selling my home, my realtor said, like, we gotta get some stuff outta here. You've lived here a long time. I literally gave away and threw out so much stuff. It was incredible. Not only did I feel lighter and happier and loved my home so much more after I did that, right? I did it cause I was moving, but I loved my home. When I did it, I was like, why didn't I do this sooner? Amazing miracles started showing up in my life now. What's so wild is this past week I interviewed Marie diamond from the Secret. You're gonna hear she's coming up in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to release an episode. I'm so hyped for you to hear it. It's so freaking good. And I'm implementing, like, everything that this woman taught me. It's incredible. Into my life. Because that whole declutter thing is part of feng shui, right? Which she did not make this up. It's an ancient Chinese practice that's been around for thousands of years. And again, there's no downside to it, like decluttering. What's the downside? You're not going to get hurt. The worst that happens is you have a cleaner house with more space. But what she says and teaches around feng shui is that it creates space for miracles to start showing up in your life. And it truly worked out that way for me. I literally emptied out my house, decluttered my home. Within two weeks, I got a phone call from the Dr. Phil show to come on. Like, so many wild things started happening out of left field. 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 gonna do it to my bedroom. Now that I've lived in the condo I'm in now for a couple of years, I need to declut her 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. I really went down the rabbit hole, 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? 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. You map it out, you put pictures against it, you visualize it. But her ideas go even further. Make it part of your home. 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 of 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, right? Like, share the message and the vision board. Not on 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, 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. 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 shocked, 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. And create movement and energy. I have a fountain now in my house. It's very small. It's cute. So Cute, Cute. But, like, it shows that water's always moving. Like, money's always moving into my life. Like, energy is always moving. Positive things, miracles are always coming into my life. It's all about setting your home up to literally, like, be a vortex for good for you. So I'm so hyped for you to hear this episode. I can't wait. 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. 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, soul vibing high. Like, he's all about getting your vibration to the next level, to attract the right things into your life with the right people and 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, 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 sole purpose is, getting clear on that. And that can be done through prayer. That can be done through journaling, that can be done through religion. Like, there's so many different ways, right? For me, a lot is going back to the Bible and reading the messages from the Bible. Gosh, they're so powerful. Like, you know, the power of the tongue is stronger than that of the sword, right? Like, there's all the power resides within you through Jesus Christ, right? Like, there's so much truth and power in the Bible. It's incredible, and it's just so wild. To me, it's thousands of years old. Like, all of the information we ever needed was already there. It was the last original piece of artwork that we've ever seen created. Okay? So he's talking about first, God first and your relationship with God first. Next, he's talking about positive affirmations, positive prayer. Meaning, I don't know that I'm saying it correctly, but I'll teach you the right way. Instead of when you pray saying, oh, God, please, I would like to have a new car in my life. 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 you're so expectant for what it is you're asking for, that it's already here. You're already showing gratitude for it. So gratitude, love, like joy, being on that super high vibe and speaking it into existence. Because the power of the tongue is so incredibly powerful. Like, thank you so much for these incredible miracles in my life, God. I'm so incredibly grateful and thankful I received them today and every day with so much gratitude, right? Like this positive affirm prayer. Instead of like begging for something, you're thanking that you already received it, even though you probably actually haven't yet. Okay? So that was super important that. And he was reminding me of that. Living your life's purpose and like, the more that we can come into alignment with what we're really meant to be doing. So, meaning don't live your life for your parents. Don't live your life because your spouse told you you should do this job. Live your life because of what your higher calling is and what you called to do. The more you step into that, the more miracles are going to show up for you. Make space for them, right? Start vibing high and expecting them and watch how your life unfolds. I swear to you, in the past two months, I can't even, like, I have my new partner in LA and, you know, this, this amazing company that we're growing together. I have my new partnership with Dean. I have, you know, so many incredible brand deals that have come to me in the past month alone. I just, as a result of this event that I spoke at this weekend, have a new, incredible brand partnership that just came out of nowhere. I mean, it's wild because I've been thanking for these things and asking for them and thanking it and feeling as though they've already come to be and now they're materializing and it is. Is incredible and so exciting to watch. And I want you to have that too. I want you to have whatever it is that you want. I want you to know you have the power within you to activate it. I bet some people are gonna think I'm crazy. My son, I will tell you, thinks I'm crazy for sure. But that's okay. I can handle it. And I don't wanna be vanilla, right? Like, I don't wanna be like everybody else. Like, I wanna be uniquely me. And to be a disruptor in the world, you're gonna have to do disruptive things and say things differently than what other people say, even if it's not conventional. And that's okay. Not everyone has to like me, right? Jason Tartek got into this whole thing about haters and how you know what when they engage on the feed, it helps the feed, it helps the post, it helps me reach more people. Thank you. Haters like start looking at it as I don't want to be like everybody else. I'm different, I'm unique. I'm me in a category one of one and so are you my friend. Meet a different guest each week.

I asked you to try to find your passion. Okay, so I want all this greatness for you. I want you to have all the magic that you have the potential to access. And I want you to treat yourself as if you deserve it all. Because you do. And the more we act as if we are deserving, the more we can receive and be grateful for what it is we're asking for. So start showing up as that best version of you. Start owning and rocking who you really are. Get excited about what's happening this week because it's coming and it is going to be incredible. I am so hyped. I am so grateful. And another key that I'll add to this, your I am statement. Super powerful. I am healthy. I am blessed. I am highly favored. I am loved. Right? Own your I am statements and say them often and with conviction. Also, you know, just be expecting all greatness to happen, all good things to come. Like everything is rigged in your favor. Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? You're highly favored. And so am I. And I'm so excited for that. So be expectant. Get excited. Do things that make you feel uplifted and happy. Take care of yourself, like get enough sleep. All these little things. Make big differences in how you feel and then how you vibe and then how you show up. Right? How you show up matters. It really, really does. We all have the chance to impact people in a really positive way each day. Why not be that difference maker for somebody? You need to be it so others can see it. I'm constantly reminded about that. Okay, so pray, be expectant. Realize everything's rigged in your favor. Know that anytime anyone did something, it was just an idea, right?

We're all constantly creating, whether it's a building or a car or a flower or a card. Everything is a creation and process. And you're the master of your life, and you're the one creating it. And it's just. Gosh, it's so. What an awakening. Like, to start seeing this and realizing this everywhere. I feel very, very grateful. I'm so grateful for all the support that I get. I'm so grateful to you for being here on the show. This show doesn't exist without you. I'm so, so hyped about that, too. I just interviewed Seth Godin this week.

I learned so much from the guests. I learned so much from you. Please give me more feedback. Let me know. Leave a review for your girl. Share the show with somebody you think it could help. And I promise you, I'm on this journey with you. I don't have it all figured out. That is for darn sure. But we get closer every single day because we test and try and keep stretching ourselves to go for more. All right, so do good. The world needs you. Turn your light up, my friends. The world's dark. We need some more light. We need some more of you. That category one of one. Turn it up, Dial it up, and bring it forward. And just remember, don't be vanilla. Vanilla's way too plain. You, my friend, are not vanilla. All right, until next week. Keep creating your confidence. You know I will be. 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.
