Heather Monahan is a confidence expert, the author of the brand-new book Confidence Creator, and a #BOSSINHEELS. If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, at any point in your life, this episode is for you!   You Will Hear About: [1:20] How Heather ended up writing a book [5:10] The formula for creating confidence [12:00] Building a network [17:00] Being intentional with your morning [19:00] Why everyone is in sales [21:15] How you can become a master salesperson [28:30] Being shameless in your self-promotion [32:50] The most important thing Heather wants to leave for her child [34:45] Journaling every day [37:30] How to get out of a rut in your business or life [40:00] Who Heather wrote her book for   The Confidence Formula Truly confident people are driven to empower others, so Heather shared what it takes to create confidence (regardless of how you feel right now): Cut negative people out of your life. The moment you do, you make room for positive people in your life. You won’t meet those positive people if you don’t get out there and network... … but if you’re not comfortable with networking (yet!), you need to learn how. Start small by learning how to create a conversation, research someone, and actively listen to what others are saying. If you don't think you have a network, you’re wrong! Even your mother may know the person who can change your life.   Resources: Learn more at heathermonahan.com Connect with Heather: Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Pre-order: Confidence Creator (May 22nd, 2018)   Are you enjoying the show?

So so so many of us struggle with negative self-talk – I know I have! But reframing my mindset helped me believe in myself and create a more fulfilling life. I first learned about the concept of the Millionaire’s Mindset in one of the most valuable books I’ve ever read: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T. Harv Eker. This book is an absolute must-have for anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur, who wants to create a life they love, but doesn’t think it’s possible.   You Will Hear About: Creating your own wealth Putting affirmations into action Becoming more aware of your thoughts by brain dumping Self-awareness as the key to transformation The difference between millionaires and broke people Grudges & forgiveness Gossip Taking responsibility Learning every day Resources: Connect with Cayla: Facebook | Instagram Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T.

Are you ready for some major #inspo? Because today we have a rockstar guest: Dr. Jennifer Chrisman, a psychologist, mommy of two, and the Founder of APerfectPractice.com. As soon as I talked to Jenn, I knew I had to have her on the show – she has a real rags to riches story, and we can all learn a ton from the perspective and clarity she developed along her journey.   You Will Hear About: [1:15] Growing up in a toxic environment [3:00] Deciding to transform her personal narrative & become a psychologist [5:10] Starting a private practice [7:00] What Jenn learned from her biggest business mistake [9:20] Launching an online business [10:30] Changing the narrative around success in the field of psychology [13:20] The abundance mindset & our relationship with money [17:30] Teaching our children by taking care of ourselves [19:50] Jenn’s non-negotiables [25:30] Creating boundaries [27:30] Using The Serenity Prayer & affirmations [32:10] Jenn’s tips for building an online business [38:30] Our love-hate relationship with the word ‘Rich’ [42:30] The lesson that Jenn wants to leave for her kids [44:45] Being unapologetic for our big plans [47:50] Giving back to & inspiring young girls   Teaching Our Children to Be Abundant A lot of us who grew up wanting, being told that we can’t afford something basic and feeling ashamed, don’t want our children to experience that – so how can we teach them what they deserve, and help them develop an abundance mindset (as opposed to a limiting mindset)? Jenn says, “The best thing I can possibly do for both of [my children] is to take care of myself. Children don’t always hear what we say, but they always see what we do.” If you struggle with whether or not doing more is possible, your children will see that. So you have to BELIEVE you can do more, and then you have to ACT like it! If you never act small, if you never tell yourself negative stories, your children will never develop those limiting behaviors.   Resources: Learn more at drjenniferchrisman.com Connect with Jenn: Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles Check out GirlTalk Network: girltalknetwork.org   Are you enjoying the show?

Today’s Mommy Millionaire Minute is all about creating content that your target audience will absolutely love! If you don’t know who your target audience is yet, that’s a critical first step – just head over to MommyMillionaire.co and fill out our branding questionnaire to get clear on who your audience is.   Cayla’s Content Creation Strategies: Every Sunday, I schedule a week’s worth of posts: My #instastory, Instagram posts, Facebook statuses, etc. Start by mastering one or two social media networks / content distribution channels, and then grow into other areas. Make time to learn every day! Read books and listen to podcasts in your niche so that you can grow your expertise – and take notes! Every Thursday, I set aside two hours for creative story time. I turn off my cell phone, sit in a quiet place, and focus on the stories in my life that I can share to help people. For your audience, nothing is more powerful than YOUR story! For Instagram: You want to catch someone’s attention at the top, but you also want a comment or video that keeps them around. The longer people spend looking at your post, the more Instagram’s algorithm will surface your posts. Look at what other people in your space are doing. Don’t copy them – you HAVE to be original – but look at their most successful posts and take notes about what they did. Facebook & Instagram actually don’t like scheduling apps! It makes you look like a business.   Resources: Connect with Cayla: Facebook | Instagram   Are you enjoying the show? I want to know! Click here to leave a review on iTunes.

Today I want to talk about the B word: BALANCE! I don’t believe in the word balance, and I haven’t for years. As an entrepreneur and a passionate person, there is no such thing as and no room for balance! But I DO want to feel fulfilled and experience joy – and to do all of that, sometimes you have to put the pressure on and make a plan! To help myself feel content and abundant every day, I make sure to honor the non-negotiables in my life.   What are YOUR non-negotiables?

If you share your non-negotiables with me on Instagram, we’d love to share them with the rest of the Mommy Millionaire community!
