Favorite Quote:

“If it is to be it is up to me!”.  Ask for and accept feedback and  make sure you are taking personal responsibility for your own life.

On feedback:

1. Look at where the person is coming from and through which filters they see you.

2. Distance yourself from the feedback as though you are a third person listening in. This helps to really understand how to apply it.

Challenges…

The biggest thing Heather overcame was realizing that she needed to get away from her peer group in order to grow and reach her potential. She made the move from San Diego to Sydney, Australia! Listen to your heart and watch who you choose to listen to for advice.

There is no time like the present…

If you feel like you are playing small in yourself you probably are. Surround yourself with the types of people who you want to be like and who want for you.

What can listeners do this week to move forward?

Less learning, more action! We are bombarded by resources everywhere right now – instead of buying the latest gadget or course, join a mastermind, get mentors or do something else to take action! Heather uses a 90 Day Plan and works to make 2 steps every day towards that plan. Be very specific about making a move towards the growth of your business if you are in business.

One thing that excites Heather in her business…

The launch of Online Masterplan Series! This is to help people learn to delegate important tasks within their business, then pass on the learning on social media marketing. It’s about overcoming online overwhelm and simplifying what you really need to know as an entrepreneur.
