personal development / mindset

I’m wired for goal setting. Chasing that next mountain top of ambition is in my DNA. But when the ball dropped into 2024 and everyone else was hunkering down, massive year on the wall calendars and color coded post-its in hand, I felt ZERO ambition for planning.

But what I did feel was a desire to get quiet and reconnect with something I didn’t know I needed which led to an entirely new way (for me) of goal setting.

So in today’s episode I’m sharing with you my G.O.O.D Plan for the year (along with a pretty epic story)  . I hope this episode gives you the space you need to gut check your goals and live out 2024 at your best.

Tune in and hear:

• Why changing your goals isn’t a bad thing
• What to ask yourself to ensure your goals are truly YOURS
• How to set your baseline for showing up at your best
• What exactly is the G.O.O.D Plan? 
• Plus my EPIC birth story that will leave you with laughing tears

And we’re BACK baby! Quite literally. I had a baby and had every intention of keeping this show going while I was on leave, but… life surely LIFE-ED me.

On this special comeback episode, we flipped the script and my copywriter, Sara Vartanian (who knows my business and my offers better than anyone), took the host seat to interview ME about the biggest rollercoaster of a year in biz (and life) yet.

From ending a partnership, rebranding the podcast (again), rebranding the biz (again), launching a new program with a new launch model… to moving my family across the state, and OH, having a baby right around the corner from turning the big 4-0… you know there’s a ton of learning tucked into all this.

Tune in for a candid convo about all the things, like planning live events, evolving programs, listening to your community, trusting your intuition and more. Buckle up — with postpartum brain, you know Heather’s bringing all the good Sager Side Notes for this one :)

Episode Highlights:

• Heather’s “big why'’ for helping others be seen, heard, and make an impact.
• The Signature Talk Accelerator (STA) Backstory,  why we started again from scratch.
• The power of asking for feedback 
• The importance of knowing your strengths and adapting to suit them 
• How hiring additional support in your team allows you to focus more on what’s really important in your business and enjoy the creative process (hint: was it worth hiring a copywriter for the ENTIRE year?!?)

Planning can be a brilliant tool, or a form of procrastination.

Visions of what *could* be.

And as we follow the plan, we quickly realize that the ideal map we’ve chosen to follow… looks quite a bit different than the reality we’re faced with.

It happens in our personal lives AND our businesses.

Each year, entrepreneurs take the internet biting walk calendars, post-it notes and colorful pens to dream, map and plan out their perfect year.

And if you’ve been a big planner in the past, yet still aren’t where you set out to be.

This is the episode for you.

The season looks quite a bit different for me with baby #3 coming WAY earlier than expected (irony here is I DEF didn’t plan for THIS)…

But if I were in your shoes (aka not birthing a tiny human), here’s exactly what I’d do to finish the year strong (not coast it through), to set myself up well for the new year.

When was the last time you felt “stressed” in your business? Chances are: recently.

As a business owner, you might have adopted the reality that stress is just part of running a business.

I’m not here to tell you that I’ve figured out the secret formula to deal with stress (spoiler: there isn’t one), but I will serve you up some Spicy Heather coaching about the SOURCE of your biggest business stressors.

We’ll dig  into the dichotomy of self-created stress vs pressure from others, plus my four non-fancy tactics for managing stress… and of course many Sager Side Notes to entertain you along the way.

Business growth isn’t a high school line graph, rather, it goes up and down depending on the seasons.

Want to push past your current revenue? You’ve got to work with the data you got, and keep going–even when it’s messy, and far from perfect. Our ego hates that reality, especially if we’ve had success in the past.

In this episode, I’m taking you in a time machine back to the early days of my business to share everything I wish someone had told me, including where to invest my time, money, and focus. But fair warning, the dose of reality I share will body check your ego big time.

Is your message catnip to your audience? 

Clarity in your message comes from taking action over and over. The more you speak, the more you learn about what creates those “aha” moments where your message clicks with your audience.  

Yet, so many business owners try to think their way through why their messaging isn’t landing. They’re caught in the perfection trap leading them to believe they don’t belong on stage until everything is figured out. The truth is they’d get a lot further faster by testing it in front of an audience. 

That’s exactly what Merritt Onsa, a dream coach, who helps Christian women step into their purpose, experienced. Fast forward to today, and Merritt just had FOUR speaking opportunities offered to her! 

Merritt dropped gems in this conversation that will hit home for any business owner wanting to improve their messaging, tune in to hear our conversation.

Imposter syndrome can strike anyone, leading to battles with self-doubt and an inner voice who notices every fumble so it hisses unhelpful things like, “you don’t know what you’re doing” or “you’re an idiot.”

After 20+years as a speaker, I know first-hand that voice never quite goes away. But, I’ve also learned there are plenty of ways to shush it. 

And that’s what Sydnea Lewis, a Signature Talk Accelerator alumni, joined me to discuss. 

Sydnea is an experienced brand and marketing strategist and college professor, yet a year ago she found herself sharing her ideas and avoiding social interactions with peers and on social media.

Yep, imposter syndrome had Sydnea in its grips, but her experience in the Signature Talk Accelerator gave her practical tactics to embrace the fear of speaking and move forward despite it.

Fair warning: As always, you’re in for a real discussion. None of us has it all together. We’re all works in progress, but the insights you’ll take away from our conversation will propel you forward on your journey to becoming a more confident speaker.

In this episode, Sydnea and I discuss:

• The imposter syndrome struggle experts face
• One mindset shift which hugely dials down your nerves
• The messy middle of getting your first talk done
• A strategy to keep your talk focused even when you go off on a tangent
• To script or not to script
• Why critiques are a crucial part of improvement, even though they feel scary
• The joy of the speaking snowball effect
• How getting comfortable with discomfort leads to growth in your personal life

Have you ever beat yourself up when things don’t play out like you planned? 

Oftentimes, we become so obsessed with our expectations, we feel disappointed or give up when things don’t go perfectly. Even though we logically know that life rarely goes as planned.

In today’s episode I’m sharing with you the behind the scenes of my life and business on how “plans” have evolved in little AND big ways over the last 6 months.  Fom selling our home in a difficult market, the surprising twist of merging two brands only to untangle them 6 months later, to the super specific tech decision I had to make this month (plus answering the big question about my surprise third pregnancy: was it planned?!)

Change isn’t easy and sometimes it’s downright scary! But when you learn to pivot and adapt with purpose, you’ll become even stronger.

Tune in for an episode packed with real-life experiences, actionable strategies and tips that will help you navigate life's unexpected twists (and of course I weave this into how to embrace unexpected challenges when speaking live). Ignite your hustle with a fresh perspective on the importance of flexibility in business and life!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What happens when you tend to get tied to an exact plan or become obsessed with your process 
• How can you be more flexible and embrace change not only in your business but also when it comes to speaking (hello tech snafus or unexpected disturbances)
• Reflection questions to help you cut the clutter and simplify things in your business
• Why your ability to make swift decision is more important than what you decide
• Plus exciting updates for what’s next with Team Heather Sager

Are you ready for a mind shift that could change your life?

Join us in today’s episode as we do a throwback to my interview with the incredible Jill Stanton of The Wealthy Course Creator duo and The Millionaire Girls Club.

Get ready for a deep dive into the power of our thoughts, how they can either uplift us or pull us down and the crucial role of mindset to reach our goals.

Jill offers insight into how to recognize these negative thought spirals that often hold us back—interrupt them and then redirect our thoughts towards growth and positivity giving us the ability to see life's challenges from a fresh perspective.

Tune in and ignite your mind with this transformative conversation and learn how to replace fear, self-doubt and disempowering beliefs by embracing one’s vulnerability and switching that default mode of worrying to being willing.

In this podcast interview, Jill shares:

• Her struggle of self-doubt, how her past experience shaped her beliefs and behavior and how she stays future focused 
• The importance of choosing thoughts and beliefs to catch oneself when spiraling into negative or disempowering thoughts
• The power of asking better questions to redirect one’s focus and perspective
• The strength that comes from embracing vulnerability and being unapologetically you
• Switching to impact goals instead of income goals (think of the people you’re meant to serve!)
• And of course, how she approaches speaking on a stage

Quick note: this episode originally aired two years ago, so a few things mentioned in the episode are out of date (like the name of BOTH our programs, but the message is TIMELESS).

It takes a lot of work to run a growing business.  It's always this constant pursuit of growth—personally, professionally and financially. 

And with all the plans to execute, targets to reach, content to create and more, you might find yourself feeling stuck, constantly running on a hamster wheel of busyness with all the back-to-back client calls, podcast guesting, little admin tasks, and you can't get out!

But the beautiful thing about you being an entrepreneur is you get to choose how you run your business…

…you get to choose what you don't want to do

…you get to choose what you can delegate to your team

…or flat out what you can delete that’s not essential to your business

YOU get to make those choices. 

So what can we as thought leaders that people look to and what to learn from do to navigate in this season of ‘crazy busy’ without the stress?

Listen to today’s episode — it’s an unscripted conversation on how you can best show up, bring a little bit more light and fun to your business and your audience.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Choosing the season that feels right for you in your life and business 
• How it’s important to dedicate a season of growth in all areas of your life
• Why I banned the word ‘busy’ from my vocabulary (and why you should too!)
• Why hustle is absolutely necessary in seasons
• How you show up makes the biggest difference for how your brand is perceived by other people
• Plus I share my own story (that I had never shared on stage before)—the biggest experience of my life that taught me how to handle myself under stress and pressure

Hustle is one of those things that's required to achieve big goals, but it should not overtake your life—remember, we’re building our business so that we can live.

If you’re wondering what it takes to really create a sustainable and profitable online brand using the Hint of Hustle philosophy—meaning we know it's gonna take work, but it doesn't mean it needs to consume ALL of our time and energy!

Today I’m going to share with you 7 specific habits that will set you up for success—these are not daily routines, tactics or strategies. Most of them are SKILLS that I see surfacing in the online space that separates those who are thriving from those who are constantly struggling.

So whether you’re crushing your goals this year and would like to continue the enthusiasm or you’re on a struggle train and can’t seem to gain traction— today's episode will help you: 

• raise your awareness level for how and where you're spending your time and where you’re focused with your thinking
• identify an opportunity for you to lean in and establish healthier mindset habits so that your business can thrive

Through our raw and unfiltered conversation (wait, can I call it that if I’m the only one talking? Oh well, I just did), I hope to inspire you to become more conscious of your own money mindset, so that you can start generating more revenue for your business and transforming the lives of those around you.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• How the money stories and beliefs we adopted as kids can impact our ability to achieve success in business and in life.

It's the whispered question that I get asked a LOT.

…Working with a coach on an upcoming keynote presentation for a conference of 5000.

…An executive for his debut TEDx talk.

…A digital course creator for her upcoming masterclass.

I even get it when chatting with peers about doing a meet up at a conference.

"But Heather... what should I wear?"

When it comes to showing up as a personal brand, your style should be consistent and intentional. Not only can you become more familiar to your audience, it just does a little somethin' somethin for your swagger when you show up in your power pants.

So the question is—are you bringing the best version of you, the most confident version of you? If you want to attract your ideal audience...this is a must.

I think we could all use a little nudge in this area. And if that's you, you’ll love today’s episode! We’re doing a waaaaaay back throwback to Episode #3 to encourage you to consider how you're presenting yourself to your audience through your STYLE.

Melanie Kluger, a personal stylist and entrepreneur (and also my first ever guest on the podcast) talks about the connection between our style and building a more magnetic personal brand. We're bringing a different way to think about showing up for your brand with confidence and authority by owning your style. 

Tune in to learn:

• confidence boosting (and super practical) tips on dressing for a big presentation
• the thing that’s sabotaging your morning routine
• why our closet keeps us stalled after life transitions (like changing careers or having kids)
• how to dress for the work from home (but video ready) life style
• plus balancing mom life with business and Instagram story hack

In August, I merged my speaker coaching business with Emily Hall’s presentation design agency… and last week we announced our decision to untangle ourselves back to separate companies. I won’t try to hide it – it’s been an emotionally difficult few weeks, but we’re both super optimistic (and still BFFs).

In this episode, I'm getting real, raw and vulnerable as I share with my the behind the scenes that lead to this decision, what I’ve learned along the way and a message to remind you that when you learn to change and adapt with purpose, you’ll become even stronger.

The way you communicate impacts how others perceive you and your business.

When you sound polished and professional, you’re seen as knowledgeable, trustworthy and confident – which establishes your credibility and helps you attract new clients.

And poor communication skills are COSTLY because when others don’t understand what you do and how you can help them, they certainly won’t buy from you.

That’s why raising your level of awareness and being intentional on how you communicate with your words, with your tone and with your body language is critical– and that’s what this episode is all about.

Today I deep dive on  the common mistakes I see so many entrepreneurs making when trying to elevate the level of polish and professionalism with how they speak and more importantly, how to correct it. I also share some power tips + activities you can do (plus a heck of a lot more!) that will help you raise your level of confidence to create a bigger impact on your business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why communication skills are paramount in your business
• Formality vs Professionalism: two terms that are often used interchangeably
• The Power of Practice
• Understanding polish and professionalism and how it boils down to three communication buckets (and the mistakes that happen when you elevate your polish and professionalism) 
• Plus power tips + game-changer activity(you're gonna hate and love me for this!) you can do to become a better communicator
