We all fear failure. But if you remember when you were learning to walk as a child, you stumbled. That's how you learn. My next guest is Heath Oakes, a bestselling author and good friend who wrote Ignorance on Fire.

Several years ago, Heath delivered a hand written note to Sandra Irvin, inquiring about NFC Life. He was denied several times. He was told no over and over. Today, he joins Sandy at NFC Life as CEO. This is the story of how it finally happened.

Tenacity, determination, and taking advice from women who have been there before you all contribute to your business and career success. Freelance news anchor and journalist, personal trainer, mentor, and entrepreneur Jenny Anchondo joins me to talk about her personal journey through an eating disorder to working for national television networks. Jenny is the host of Second Shot, a podcast that talks about two news articles a week in a new light. She started her career by driving her highlight reel around the country and meeting with news executives to secure her first role as a writer. But all the while, she was struggling with and through an eating disorder. After ongoing outpatient rehab, Jenny is proud of the steps she’s taken to reclaim her life. She recommends that every single person, whether they’ve gone through addiction or disorder or not, take the time to go deep into their own self-discovery. It’s hard work, but it’s so worthwhile and you will come out of it stronger and with a much better sense of who you are. Jenny is a firm believer in the power of positive mentorship. She found a mentor in a news anchor who advised her that her highlights reel was not going to get her hired, and she recommended Jenny drive around the country so producers could meet her face-to-face and see her personality. Women can have incredibly positive impacts on your life, both personal and business, and everyone should endeavor to have mentors in their lives. As a broadcast journalist, Jenny has experienced her fair share of rejections and “no’s”. Every entrepreneur on this planet has been told “no” at one point or another as well. While the easy thing to do is crumble at the rejection, you need to look for the positive side of that “no” to see it as a new opportunity. Lastly, Jenny explains how she’s naturally a pessimistic person, but she’s learned to reframe her mindset. Now, Jenny looks for the miracle in everyday life. The good things that happen every day that you might be taking for granted.  How do you see the good every day? Do you have a positive mentor in your life? How do you handle rejection? In This Episode: Why you should make time to do the deep, hard work into self-discovery How tenacity will help you get ahead in your career What role other women in mentorship positions can have in your life Why we all need to seek out mentors who will help guide us, give us constructive criticism, and support How you can look on the positive side of a “no” Why you need to reframe your mindset to look for the miracles in your life Quotes: “It was really just continuing to show up and do the work. So often we’re looking for a secret or a workaround to hard work, but especially in the beginning of careers, it’s about continually being the person that everyone else can count on.” (19:31) “If somebody gives you advice, always imagine that she wants the best for you. Never question if it’s personal or anything else like that, just imagine that that person is just helping you out, it doesn’t matter what their motives are.” (21:04) “Just because it’s a no doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good experience to go through and to try.” (29:28) Links Listen to Second Shot with Heath Oakes and Jenny Anchondo  Find Jenny Anchondo Online Follow Jenny Anchondo on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube     Join From Side Hustle to CEO on Facebook Keep up with everything Women In Business Follow me, Dr. Cortney Baker on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedIn KidsCare Home Health   Are you a female millennial entrepreneur who wants to start or scale your service-based business but not sure where to start?

If working is dinner, then retirement is dessert. Or at least it would be, if nursing homes weren't so expensive. One man found a cheaper alternative though, and it's a Holiday of an idea. Also, is it ever okay to use emoji's in the workplace? Step aside Millennials, because Heath Oakes has the answer on this week's episode of Second Shot!

Being young and being successful doesn't often come hand-in-hand. People can be quick to judge somebody who they might deem more inexperienced or immature than themselves. Odds are, if you're a member of the DJCC, you probably know where we're coming from. That's why we invited our featured speaker Heath Oakes from our upcoming January 25th Membership Meeting at WeWork Uptown to talk to us about the challenges that come with growing up in a small town in east Texas, the things you learn from learning to sell and being told no, and the meaning behind the title of Heath's book "Ignorance on Fire." You won't want to miss his speech - or this episode!

FEWSIC is back in full swing with Episode 7 as our special guest Heath Oakes joins us to share his own FEWSIC moments. In this episode we discuss "Ignorance On Fire" and taking imperfect action now to light the fire to your success. Heath also dives into selfless servant leadership and when he knew mentoring and developing others was his true passion. Don't forget to go on Amazon and pick up: "Ignorance On Fire: A Journey Of Failing Your Way To Success" Written by Heath Oakes "a Millennial who has failed his way to success."

We've got a special episode today, as I'm joined by a fellow Millennial who's been lighting it up in business for over ten years now, and hasn't even celebrated his 30th birthday.  This week, I'm chatting with Heath Oakes.   It won't take you long to pick up that Heath's a Texas boy, and he's living up to the reputation by doing everything BIG from a young age.  He started selling insurance when he was just 19, opened his first agency by 21, and was recruited to a management position typically help by folks in their 40's when he was just 23.  He's widely respected and rarely out-performed.  And in February, 2017, he has his first book coming out; Ignorance on Fire: A Journey of Failing Your Way to Success.  The title alone caught my interest.     Make sure you take shelter, because Heath drops value bombs throughout this entire conversation.     Enjoy!   Links heathoakes.com Ignorance on Fire on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Ignorance-Fire-Journey-Failing-Success/dp/1942557876 Ignorance on Fire Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/Igofire/ Ignorance on Fire Instagram page:  https://www.instagram.com/ignoranceonfire/ Heath on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/HeathOakes

Heath Oakes contends that our whole life we have been taught to be realistic.  What if that advice was dead wrong? What if it was the very thing that is holding you back? If this episode doesn't fire you up, your wood is wet! Click Here For Shownotes
