WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.600
jump in and get straight to it. And then we'll, you know, I'm sure as other people join, we will,

2
00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:11.760
we will catch up with them. So a couple of quick announcements, and then we'll do our usual three

3
00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:17.280
sessions. The first session, we're going to go into sort of the thought for today around our

4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:25.680
partnership with the Lord and what that is like. And secondly, we're going to spend a little time

5
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:30.560
going through more workshop. And then around the workshop, we'll do a little bit of laser coaching.

6
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:34.560
And then the third section is we'll talk about the edge and empowering your team. So we'll get

7
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:41.120
into all that. All good to go. Yeah. So we, we all know the drill by now. So we'll just jump

8
00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:47.360
straight in. And then dear, if you wouldn't mind just helping those who we seem to have about

9
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.800
by half the group last, I don't know where they are this month. I'll find them. I'll look for

10
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.560
you can find them. Thanks. So everybody is the person. She's our VP of business development

11
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.160
here. I 49. So good to have you back to have all the surgeries and all the rest. So

12
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.400
no one is happier than me about you being back.

13
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.080
So you're that's fantastic. Okay. Anyway, dear, you've got it and we'll do the announcements

14
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.160
and the smallest stuff and buy people time to jump on. A couple of things is on the app.

15
00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:27.520
I know that many of you have been using the app. There's an iOS app and an Android app and a web

16
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:36.320
app. And so if I'm just going to quickly share that screen so that you can see that. So everybody

17
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.600
see this. So on, on the web app, you know, under the inner circle, for those of you that are part

18
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.440
of the inner circle and the edge, you'll get both, but for the inner circle group, we put the

19
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:52.560
curriculum together. I noticed several of you found these power tools, some of the power tools

20
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.440
we've put in here. We're going to, we're going to focus on number four today. We'll come back to

21
00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:02.560
that in a second. Of course, all the replays from all the sessions are there, any prophetic words

22
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:08.560
and so forth are there too. And don't forget the edge bot. So that's the bot that we've taken all

23
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.720
our training of the years and, and built our own bot. You can access it directly from here. So

24
00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:19.280
like, what is the triple bottom line or whatever question you have? What is the, you know, how does

25
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:25.360
QBook work or whatever, you know, that's all there. But the most important thing is I do actually,

26
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:31.520
even though it looks like I lost half my brain cells in this photo in reality, I do actually

27
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:40.560
check this every week. So I will respond and I will, I will engage. So what we want to do is go

28
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:48.080
through, we just want to go through and make you aware that we are, I do check this and I do

29
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.720
respond and we love you to interact with each other. So get on the community. Last announcement

30
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:59.200
is under the community section here, you will see a section called questions. If that's where you can

31
00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:04.960
post, if you want us to prioritize you on the laser coaching the following month, drop your

32
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:10.560
question there and say, you know, for laser coaching colon and then whatever. And then I'll

33
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:17.440
just make sure you're up first. So that's how you can prioritize yourself. So again, community,

34
00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:22.880
the curriculum is there with the power tools and all the previous inner circles, the replays are

35
00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:29.840
all there and the edge bot. And again, you can do that on your iOS app and, and you can get that.

36
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.840
I think you just look under edge groups on iOS. If you're looking for that, any questions around

37
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:43.120
that, all the admin stuff, all good. All right. Excellent. We do still have our two in-person

38
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:49.280
events, one East coast, one West coast. We're still trying to finalize some of that partly

39
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:55.520
because I'm also trying to coordinate some of this with, with hundred X so that we got people

40
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:01.040
that belong to both, both worlds. So we're trying to accommodate that if we can't, we'll make that,

41
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:08.080
we'll definitely make that announcement by next, by June's call. So I'm expecting we'll do something

42
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.920
in July, August, and then maybe something in November. We'll try to fit it in this year.

43
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:15.120
So we keep it in one calendar and next year we'll spread it out a little more.

44
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.160
All right. Excellent. You're ready to go. Ready to go and do this. Yeah. I see. We've got, so

45
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.120
see Tamara. Oh, you're on two. That's your fathom. I see. Got it. All right.

46
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:34.720
All right. Well we're jump, we're going to just jump straight into, we want to talk and continue

47
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:43.040
the topic of, you know, when we were explaining how partnership with the Lord works, we've been

48
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:49.360
using Matthew 11, 28 through 30, which has been by now, I think everybody has it thoroughly memorized,

49
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.600
which is great. And as we said before, you know, when you first hear a verse and you learn,

50
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.760
hearing the verse is one thing, learning the verse is another. And then becoming the verse is.

51
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.160
what you know that's why it takes so long to become a verse. It takes time for it to become

52
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.600
part of of our upstairs experience in the Lord. So I thought what I would do is just I drew a

53
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:20.240
little diagram which I hope would help give some of this context. So as we're going through that

54
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:29.200
let me share with you my my screen on this and then we will go straight into.

55
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:39.600
All right so everybody see that the edge right you're good. So the whole idea of living a high

56
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.720
impact kingdom leadership lifestyle is that obviously it starts upstairs starts in the heart

57
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.360
of the Lord knowing who he is knowing what he's like and then knowing who we're becoming that

58
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.200
informs our leadership. So we might draw it a little bit like this the three elements might be

59
00:05:57.200 --> 00:06:03.680
you know here we have our partnership in the Lord informs our leadership which drives our team.

60
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.880
Make sense? So the top two partnership and leadership is what we do here at the inner

61
00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:14.240
circle and of course the team stuff is what we do that's our covert training the 40 weeks

62
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.520
training that's every week for the team that does nobody there has to be believers we just

63
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:27.120
bring all the kingdom goodness to them without any christian language. So that's the covert side so the

64
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:33.520
the point of the bottom and the last element of team is to empower the kingdom leader to

65
00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:39.120
to create a team of leaders. So that's partnership leads to leadership leads to team. So I hope that

66
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:45.120
gives a little bit of context and and here's why this works because basically it turns triangles

67
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:53.120
into squares we've talked about uh you know if we've talked about that triangles um you know

68
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.520
if you think of the upstairs downstairs there are some people are all upstairs man they get a

69
00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:03.040
prophetic word every week they get all these promises God tells them stuff and execution

70
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.720
is zero or very small so we end up with an upside down triangle it's all upstairs stuff

71
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.760
and very little execution and then we have the other group uh in the kingdom or in the church

72
00:07:13.760 --> 00:07:19.680
where we go this way around we get a word once 20 years ago and then we built a global movement

73
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.760
you know I mean it's just massive execution fantastic leadership really know how to execute

74
00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:31.440
and so our job is not to have one triangle or the other our job is to have a perfect square

75
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:40.160
just like what Jesus did right what he said I do downstairs what I see my father doing upstairs

76
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.760
so this creates and then he said and it will amaze you and he talked on talked about doing

77
00:07:45.760 --> 00:07:53.360
even greater work so this idea that Jesus set up was the idea that uh we get to do greater works

78
00:07:53.360 --> 00:08:00.080
so with that in mind and just to bring some more clarity to it really the partnership elements the

79
00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:06.320
leadership elements which covered by inner circle the key round what drives the partnership I called

80
00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:10.960
it the command and control point the inflection point the point that really drives everything

81
00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:19.040
that's the permission we've often said upstairs permission leads to bold downstairs action that's

82
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:26.320
what makes the square so the permission here is based on the inner territory so over many

83
00:08:26.320 --> 00:08:31.520
sessions we've talked right through the idea that you can only take external territory based

84
00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:37.679
on the inner inner territory you've taken we've talked through all the dangers around when we

85
00:08:38.400 --> 00:08:44.159
when when our inner territory uh external territory becomes larger than the internet

86
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:50.320
internal territory we end up in a situation where a lot of people implode you see that I

87
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:57.120
personally think this is the reason why most ministries or most christian leaders even pastors

88
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.000
will end their lives not even serving the lord let alone being in the ministry and the reason is

89
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:07.040
when the external territory gets bigger then there's the pressure goes the wrong way so we

90
00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:13.600
always say we want to live inside out but we don't talk and explain how that works or how to be with

91
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:19.680
the lord and how he wants to be with us in that partnership so the partnership is everything

92
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:25.840
so the partnership sets the size of the territory you're ultimately going to take

93
00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:33.120
so when jesus said come to me all your weary and heavy laden and i will give you rest take my yoke

94
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:40.000
my partnership on you and learn from me that's where the learning happens directly from him

95
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:47.280
from gentle and humble of heart and you will find rest for yourselves then he said for my

96
00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:53.120
yoke is easy and we decoded that word easy christos in the greek literally means highly

97
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:59.840
effective and and easy to us it feels light there's a lightness to kingdom leadership and then he said

98
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.240
and your burden is light. Your part of the partnership should feel light. So if we find

99
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:11.520
this place in our partnership with the Lord, it will express itself in our leadership. There'll

100
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:16.320
be a lightness to our leadership. There'll be a restfulness to our leadership and that's how we

101
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.160
know. So how do we know we're in partnership? How do we know we've stuck inside the partnership?

102
00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:31.520
Is if we become, if we feel and functioning from rest. If we find ourselves in stress, anxiety,

103
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:38.080
worry, we know we stepped out. That's what Jesus said, you know, exchange the stress and worry,

104
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:44.160
come to me and receive rest. Now the Lord wasn't talking about a transactional rest,

105
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:49.360
he was talking about moving into a new modality, to move into the permanent state of rest.

106
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:55.280
So we'll talk a little more about that. And once we have that, then the last step is how do we do

107
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.960
training? So on the leadership side, the reason why the command and control is your cue book or

108
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:07.680
the cue system is that you need one place you can allocate all your time, all your resources to.

109
00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:12.480
And so we'll talk a little bit about that today. And now we act with bold action because our

110
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.160
confidence comes from our permission. And then the last part then is how do we train our team?

111
00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:26.160
Okay, because even if you're the only believer in your organization, training your team with the

112
00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:31.440
best leadership practices from around the world, and that's what we've spent 40 weeks doing. And

113
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:37.840
we'll start that leadership training up again soon, as soon as we get all the final details

114
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:42.800
worked out, which we're pretty close to doing. So that concept there is a team of leaders. So

115
00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:47.600
where's the command and control point for training your team is that weekly leadership

116
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:54.480
training. I know I stress this every single month, but one hour a week of investing in their

117
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.600
leadership, not just productivity. Productivity is the wrong focus. When we invest in people

118
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.120
and people feel safe and creative and start acting like owners, productivity goes up almost

119
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.040
automatically. I think focusing on productivity is backward in my view. It's not a kingdom viewpoint

120
00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:19.760
because we invest in people first and then we train people how to be team of leaders. So we

121
00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:24.880
talked a lot of that. So what are the command and control points? What is the pivot point? In my

122
00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:29.600
partnership, it's about permission. So if I got a lot of stuff coming at me, if you've got a lot

123
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.960
of stuff coming at you right now, hitting the pause button, saying, what's your permission

124
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:41.280
right now, Lord? That just clears out all the noise, gets you to focus on one thing, and that's

125
00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:48.400
where it becomes very restful, very quickly. Once I know that, then I use my cue book, I use my

126
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:53.440
calendar to allocate resources and to prioritize the time. We're going to get into that today,

127
00:12:54.160 --> 00:13:00.320
to take bold action. And for my team, that once a week training, people say, well,

128
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.560
I can't afford a whole week to pull the whole team together. Honestly, you cannot afford not to.

129
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:12.400
Productivity can double, triple, or in some cases, go 5X just by investing in people first.

130
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.400
And it's an extraordinary thing. When your team believes that you're actually investing in them,

131
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:23.040
not to get them more productive and get the most out of them, but actually investing in them,

132
00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:27.840
so that, hey, if you ever leave here, we want you to be the smartest person in the room, wherever

133
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:33.840
you go. That's a huge shift for people. Good. Questions, any thoughts, questions?

134
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:40.640
So I was going to just bolden this out a little and just give you a little more context.

135
00:13:40.640 --> 00:13:45.600
So this inner territory, what are we talking about? We're talking about exploring God's heart,

136
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:51.840
His nature, and who you're becoming. The bold action, that's your yoke, your partnership in

137
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:59.200
action. And team of leaders is to bring the ways of the kingdom to the benefit of all. So everybody

138
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:05.760
benefits from God's goodness, whether they know Him or not. And I can give you a little more

139
00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:09.040
detail for those of you who've been around a bit more. So if you're looking at the key elements

140
00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:14.160
on the side, so around permission and partnership, we address things like how to function from peace,

141
00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:19.520
and what to do with promises, and how to do a provision, and how does this feel easy and light,

142
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:25.040
how does the high impact part work, and the clarity of purpose. All that stuff is part of the

143
00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:29.680
partnership conversation. On the leadership conversation, it's like how do you design your

144
00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:35.680
perfect week that facilitates your partnership. That's today's topic. So buying back your time,

145
00:14:35.680 --> 00:14:41.280
ebb and flow management, which we talked last month about. All this is about facilitating

146
00:14:41.280 --> 00:14:47.600
your partnership in the Lord, taking bold action. And then with the team, it's all about people drive

147
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:52.560
processes. We talked about the firefighter's net, and clarity of purpose, and innovation,

148
00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:59.760
giving your team a feeling of cognitive control. And so that's that's

149
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.420
that portion. So I just wanted to give all that context. So as

150
00:15:03.420 --> 00:15:08.100
we go through that together, you understand what we mean when we

151
00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:11.400
say your partnership drives your leadership, which drives your

152
00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:17.100
team. How does that sound? I don't want this to be a two hour

153
00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:21.740
lecture. So let's get talking. Any thoughts, ideas around this?

154
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:26.260
So Glenn, were you clapping hands? Or were you wanting to

155
00:15:26.260 --> 00:15:26.860
say something?

156
00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:32.140
Clapping hands, Dion. I mean, this is I think each time you

157
00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:34.900
share, this becomes increasingly more focused and

158
00:15:34.900 --> 00:15:39.380
clearer. That is a fantastic way to lay it out and to show those

159
00:15:39.380 --> 00:15:41.460
keys as well. Really appreciate it. Thank you.

160
00:15:41.820 --> 00:15:43.220
Yeah, sure. Yeah.

161
00:15:43.260 --> 00:15:47.660
I'll second that. Dion, thank you for the context, man. That

162
00:15:47.660 --> 00:15:52.340
thing that's really grabbing me is the idea of permission. And I

163
00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:57.900
think that how that really helps direct where my focus

164
00:15:57.900 --> 00:16:03.580
should be. So, man, thank you. I look forward, just as Glenn

165
00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:08.380
said, to hear it again. Because, man, I feel like I can put more

166
00:16:08.380 --> 00:16:10.060
and more into action as I do.

167
00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:17.180
Yeah, excellent. You're welcome. Any thoughts, comments? Any

168
00:16:17.180 --> 00:16:17.540
questions?

169
00:16:17.540 --> 00:16:18.660
There's territory to take.

170
00:16:19.660 --> 00:16:22.380
Yep, territory to take. Was that you, Matthew? Who's it there?

171
00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:24.820
Todd here.

172
00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:34.300
Oh, Todd. Okay, so. Thanks, Todd. Appreciate that. So what

173
00:16:34.300 --> 00:16:39.420
we would, what we want to share, what we would love to do today.

174
00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:45.700
So the big, the big mountain to conquer today is, I know a lot

175
00:16:45.940 --> 00:16:51.780
of us hang around, you know, similar thought leaders, you

176
00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:56.700
know, and, you know, whether it's Simon Sinek, or Greg

177
00:16:56.700 --> 00:17:01.180
McKeon, or, you know, some of the some of the thought leaders

178
00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:05.380
that really help us inform our downstairs leadership. And we

179
00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:09.020
love that. I mean, what's not to love about super effective

180
00:17:09.020 --> 00:17:13.420
downstairs leadership. But as we've just laid out, our

181
00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:16.660
upstairs leadership must drive the downstairs leadership.

182
00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:19.579
Otherwise, it's just one leadership idea after another.

183
00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:21.579
And you don't know which to prioritize, you don't know where

184
00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:24.300
to focus, you don't know what the Lord's doing. So when the

185
00:17:24.300 --> 00:17:26.900
Lord's giving you permission, the permission is giving you

186
00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:29.980
also, then that permission will extend to your team, we're

187
00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:36.260
focusing on this. That is so, so releasing, because suddenly

188
00:17:36.260 --> 00:17:40.140
there's this freedom of, you know, the senior partner is

189
00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:46.740
driving the show. I'm not him. So that is that for me is one

190
00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:50.060
of the greatest aspects and one of the greatest joys in the

191
00:17:50.060 --> 00:17:54.100
whole process. Okay, so let's talk a little bit about this

192
00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:58.940
lightness of kingdom leadership. So I'm going to postulate for

193
00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:01.980
today. And I'm going to call this lightness of kingdom

194
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:04.460
leadership when you're functioning from rest, Matthew

195
00:18:04.860 --> 00:18:09.020
1128 to 30. If you missed the reference, I'm going to call

196
00:18:09.020 --> 00:18:12.540
this lightness mode. And here's the interesting thing, when

197
00:18:12.540 --> 00:18:18.860
you're in lightness mode, you can go into light speed. There

198
00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:23.860
is an efficacy that happens that when we when we come to a place

199
00:18:23.860 --> 00:18:29.100
of rest in the Lord, that and we start to feel like the lightness

200
00:18:29.100 --> 00:18:32.140
of being when we feel that, wow, my burden, my part of this

201
00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:35.940
partnership is pretty light. When I start to feel that delight

202
00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:40.340
and that joy, suddenly, I'm moving to light speed mode. And

203
00:18:40.340 --> 00:18:42.500
here's the really thing. Here's the big thing I've been

204
00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:47.140
learning. It's like a seesaw, right? The deeper the rest, the

205
00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:51.300
more powerful and effective the light speed is, the faster I go,

206
00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:54.220
the minute I take it on myself, and you all know what I'm

207
00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:58.580
talking about on me, I have to do this thing I have to, I have

208
00:18:58.580 --> 00:19:02.140
it has to be hard. I have to work, I have to do my thing. And

209
00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:05.420
then suddenly, I think slows down again. So I found the way

210
00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:08.300
to speed up the way to go to light speed is to go into light

211
00:19:08.300 --> 00:19:11.980
mode. I was trying to make it simple to remember. But that's

212
00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:15.380
how I think of it anyway. And so as you're going through this,

213
00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:19.540
so let's talk about, let's talk about three things quickly. One,

214
00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:22.460
what is this lightness of kingdom? What does it save you

215
00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:26.900
from? You know, it saves you from feeling like you're on your

216
00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:30.820
own in this venture, I'm on my own in this business feeling

217
00:19:30.820 --> 00:19:35.180
like it's all up to me, carrying the world on my shoulders, you

218
00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:38.340
know, and when you feel like you're carrying the full weight

219
00:19:38.340 --> 00:19:42.780
and that it's heavy, guess where you are? outside the

220
00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:48.020
partnership. So not to be no condemnation in that, because

221
00:19:48.020 --> 00:19:50.620
it's easy to come back. And by the way, just so that you know,

222
00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:54.860
it takes practice to stay there. It's one thing to do this like

223
00:19:54.860 --> 00:19:59.100
little moment where okay, now I'm at rest. And then two hours

224
00:19:59.100 --> 00:19:59.940
later, I'm back in

225
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.160
no i'm doing it all again you know it just takes practice so the lord's super patient with your

226
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:12.240
learning you know he's okay with that grace covers our learning and um but here's the good news what

227
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.320
he wants you to know that is it is a permanent state of being you can come to a point where rest

228
00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:25.040
is permanent so um just before i get going on i'm noticing so many key people that are not here so

229
00:20:25.760 --> 00:20:31.600
um i don't know if we've heard back from folks um because normally nobody misses so okay

230
00:20:32.800 --> 00:20:41.360
um second point second thing it saves you from is stress is part of the job well it is if you're

231
00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:46.720
downstairs and you don't know the law for sure then that's all you got you know then you can

232
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:51.920
do all the stress management stuff the best thing you can do with stress then if you live downstairs

233
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:57.040
is do downstairs stress management which are good you know sleep well get exercise diet

234
00:20:57.040 --> 00:21:02.240
blah blah you know those are good things i'm not i'm not uh i'm not minimizing them i'm just

235
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.280
calling them what they are they're downstairs but the rest jesus is talking about the peace

236
00:21:07.280 --> 00:21:13.040
jesus gives us is the peace that is not like the world gives how does the world give peace it's

237
00:21:13.040 --> 00:21:20.240
fickle it's based on circumstances being great but his peace passes all understanding that means

238
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:26.720
when downstairs stuff makes no sense yet you have peace that's the peace he's talking about

239
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:34.320
that's what he's referring to so being stressed you know because we've learned and this is why

240
00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:39.280
we have to learn the ways of the kingdom not the ways of the ways of the world in leadership is

241
00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:44.240
man if you're stressed you're just showing you're taking it seriously you're showing how serious

242
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:51.680
that i know it's funny from a kingdom viewpoint it's funny now um it wasn't funny then so you

243
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.960
know because we used to believe this stuff right so the lie there is that oh man if if you're if

244
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.320
you're a serious leader then you're like on the edge of stress or i am so stressed i got so much

245
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:08.640
on my plate and um and so the cool thing it isn't your stress anymore because jesus paid for it and

246
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:13.760
that belongs to him so it isn't even yours you don't even get to claim it as my stress or my

247
00:22:13.760 --> 00:22:20.240
anxiety or my worries because they're not yours so here's the thing the third thing it frees us

248
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:27.200
from is it has to be hard to be worthwhile you know we we use expressions like well that's easy

249
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:34.720
for you to say or we use expressions like um you know anything worth doing you know if it was easy

250
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:39.440
everybody would do it you know it's only worthwhile if it's hard again downstairs stuff

251
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:45.920
we learned in the absence but here's what it is you know when it's worthwhile when he gave

252
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:50.800
permission for it because some of the times it won't even see like the logical thing to do or

253
00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:57.680
the main thing to do some of you have made some pretty serious decisions for your business

254
00:22:58.560 --> 00:23:04.000
not because it was the logical thing to do but because the lord said do this or start that

255
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:09.120
business i was looking around for robin there a moment ago but you know last week when robin

256
00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:13.680
talked about his second business being funded by the first business and we talked about the

257
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:18.480
danger of value stack of venture stacking whether one venture pays the other venture

258
00:23:19.280 --> 00:23:25.040
and i called robin the next day to talk to him a little more about it and uh just talking with him

259
00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:30.480
about this idea and i said here's the three problems with venture stacking number one is

260
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:37.200
do you have permission number two if you're one company's funding the other company it's cloaking

261
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.480
the real risk involved in that company it can't stand on its own feet you can't see what's needed

262
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.400
because it's it's being artificially propped up and three is you usually are distracting or

263
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:56.480
depleting your resources so are you going to give so it's one thing to say you know that the one

264
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:01.760
venture pays for the other venture now i'm not talking about structuring yourself so that you

265
00:24:01.760 --> 00:24:08.480
can take advantage of a different market i'm just saying that this idea that it has to be hard and

266
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:14.960
difficult for it to be worthwhile isn't how it works in the kingdom he's in it with you the lord's

267
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:20.240
in it with you so what does this open up for us this likeness of being opens up a couple of things

268
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:26.000
for us number one three things one is it opens up you have to have you get to have a partnership

269
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:35.520
with jesus being yoked and um it's an interesting farming analogy that that jesus used because when

270
00:24:35.520 --> 00:24:41.840
you yoke two oxen together if you have one big powerful ox and one little ox and the big ox

271
00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:48.160
pushes gets what guess what happens to the little ox gets crushed right because that that wooden

272
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.600
board that yokes them together if the big ox pushes it just crushes the little ox and so in

273
00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:59.760
that sentence in that invitation jesus says it's okay when you learn from his his for i am gentle

274
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:29.000
It's interesting that he immediately assures us that he's gentle, he's not going to push and crush you in this in this partnership. I love that. And he's humble. That means it's not like I got to get my stuff done. I got my purposes. I got my, you know, and he's, he's not impatient. The second thing is that, you know, he asks you to cast his burdens on him, which if you put it back in the analogy, and I'm smiling, because I just see, you know, how kind is the Lord, not only is he helping put you down, but he's also putting you down.

275
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:59.000
But then he says, Hey, I can take some of that burden on me. And that will increase our push capability. So that's why the more restful you become, the more he carries everything, the faster you go. I have this impression of this little small ox is a bit scrawny, that would be me. And then next is this big, powerful ox, which is Jesus. And then the board doesn't actually touch my neck. But we're pushing together. And I think he's doing all the pulling. And, and it's so kind.

276
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:20.000
He said, Look, we pulled it together. I don't think the board even touched my neck. I think it is a bit that way. So we're getting invited to cross over into this lifestyle of rest. Why? Because rest is a weapon. Rest is your primary weapon against the pressure that comes on you as an executive, as a leader.

277
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:46.000
When everything's coming at you, and you can you can reset to rest. This is your this is your, your secret superpower in the kingdom. Okay, so that's the first thing. Second thing is lightness is your part of the partnership. So the delight, the delight and the wow factor, I get to do this, I get to do this with the Lord. This is and this is, I love what I do.

278
00:26:46.000 --> 00:27:08.000
I think Bridget and I talk every day and say, Don't we just love what we do? We love what we do. And the most important is we love who we get to do with. And so what happens and the reason this all works from rest is because the favor of heaven is attracted to Jesus in you and you learn quickly how to let your favor go before you and prepare away.

279
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:26.000
Now that may sound philosophical or a bit ethereal, but let me explain what I mean by that. You get to a point of such confidence in your partnership, because the Father is relentless in getting you to a point that you are completely and totally confident in Him.

280
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:48.000
He will not give up on that. He's going to relentlessly pursue you until He's going to so shy you with goodness. He's going to so put you in a mode to the point where you become utterly convinced and your confidence in Him is unwavering. And what I mean by that, when you're in that mode, you let His favor go before you. You're not trying to make stuff happen. You're just trying to keep up with what's happening.

281
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.000
That's a great way to live.

282
00:27:51.000 --> 00:28:10.000
And the third thing is we become highly effective. So and the reason we become highly effective is because we enter friendship mode. Jesus said in John 15, 15, I no longer call you servants. I call you friends because a servant does not know what his master is doing.

283
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:32.000
But I have told you everything that I have learned from the Father and everything the Father taught me, I am teaching you. So when we realize the whole setup is the same way Jesus learned. He said he was about the Father's business. The same way Jesus learned is the same ways offering to teach us come to me and learn from me.

284
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:49.000
And so the deeper the rest, the faster you go. So rest causes us to enter into this light mode, which then gives us access to light speed. Okay, let me breathe there for a second. Feedback.

285
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.000
Because this is the end of the little partnership session that we're going to get straight into the business stuff.

286
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:20.000
Yeah, this is great. For the last couple weeks, I have just been hunkering down in Hebrews chapters three and four out of the Passion Translation. And it talks a lot about faith rest. It uses that phrase faith rest. And it captivates me to try to understand that more. How do I get to stay there?

287
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:46.000
You know, so this is right in alignment with what Holy Spirit has been trying to drive me into understanding is staying in the place of faith rest. And how to in partnership with that is how to step into this might be where you're going, I think, in my spirit, I feel like you're going to go here to answer the next thing I'm looking for, but how to step into eating from the abundance of the fruit of self control.

288
00:29:46.000 --> 00:30:00.000
Yeah, you know, so where we get to step into that partnership with him, and Holy Spirit, you know, yes, the fruit of the Spirit is all these things. But he's he's teaching me how faith rest partnership.

289
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.360
with the fruit of self-control. So, but this is perfect. This is, timing is perfect.

290
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.000
Oh, great. Well, glad you're enjoying it. Thanks, Tamara. I appreciate that.

291
00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:17.360
All right. Let's talk a moment about, so I always try to put myself out there on these,

292
00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:22.960
on these sessions. So the new thing we've been doing recently, Jesus said, come and learn from

293
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:30.960
me. So I asked Jesus, if you were teaching us as a group of CEOs and business leaders, executives,

294
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:38.080
how would you teach us? And how would that sound? What would be your, what would be your voice?

295
00:30:39.120 --> 00:30:45.760
And it feels like, so I'm going to, so I'm going to do my best to, to capture how he might say

296
00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:53.280
this. So here's, here's, you can take a second and maybe just listen and, listen beyond to what

297
00:30:53.280 --> 00:30:59.200
I'm saying and just catch what, what he's saying to you. So I wrote this out in a first person way,

298
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:04.880
so we can just take a second with the Lord on this. I think he's genuinely excited about this.

299
00:31:06.320 --> 00:31:12.960
So, so if Jesus were teaching you this directly, it may sound like this.

300
00:31:13.840 --> 00:31:22.560
The reason I no longer call you my servant, but my friend, is that I share everything I'm doing

301
00:31:22.560 --> 00:31:32.000
with you. This is how I learned it from the Father. I love our partnership. In the kingdom realm,

302
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:39.840
we empower the natural world. Everything in the kingdom starts in rest. In rest,

303
00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:45.680
in rest, you can see what I'm doing. You can hear what I'm saying.

304
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:57.120
It is my rest that I give you as a gift. Rest is your sole mode of operation in the kingdom.

305
00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:08.160
There is no need for stress or worry or anxiety. My rest sets you up to learn from me.

306
00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:16.400
When the Father gives us permission, we take bold action and that moves everything in the world.

307
00:32:17.840 --> 00:32:26.400
All life is in me. To bring life to your business, I will teach you my ways and my truth.

308
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:35.840
You are in the world, but you are not of it. You are of my realm. You are of the kingdom

309
00:32:35.840 --> 00:32:41.200
and I am teaching you how to live as a son and as a daughter.

310
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:52.400
I want you to know how to rule and reign with me. That only happens from rest.

311
00:32:54.320 --> 00:33:02.320
My peace I give you is not like the world's peace which is fickle. My peace is a ruling power.

312
00:33:03.280 --> 00:33:07.680
It is what enables you to rule with me in this world.

313
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:17.760
You can learn to fully fulfill your purpose which the Father has prepared beforehand for you to

314
00:33:17.760 --> 00:33:28.080
walk in. That purpose was assigned by Father to our partnership. The genius Holy Spirit will help

315
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:34.080
and empower all our efforts. He is so excited about doing this with us.

316
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:43.840
There is no need to feel that you're alone in this venture. There is no requirement

317
00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:48.000
in the kingdom in which you need to be the prime initiator.

318
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:57.200
I can do nothing of my own or initiate anything. I can only do that which I see Father doing.

319
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:05.840
But because the Father loves me and loves you, He shares everything He's about to do with us.

320
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:14.800
I will help you see what we're doing in your life and in your business. It is time

321
00:34:15.600 --> 00:34:25.280
to enter kingdom life in your business. We love doing this with you. We love our partnership

322
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:36.159
with you. We love your learning and we want you to love it too. I will help you. I will help you.

323
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:44.800
Surely I will help you. Stay yoked and enjoy the lightness of your burden you carry in this

324
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:54.880
partnership. I love you. I love doing this with you. Now cross over into rest. I deserve for you

325
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:59.920
to have all I paid for. Let's do this together. Polio.

326
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:15.080
Well, I hope that touched your heart somewhere, and I hope that there's something about hearing

327
00:35:15.080 --> 00:35:17.500
something in the first person.

328
00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:22.240
The hardest part of doing these things, I can tell you, is trying to get the tone right.

329
00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:25.360
So I asked the Lord, what's the tone?

330
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.160
What voice would you say this with?

331
00:35:28.680 --> 00:35:34.640
The thing he said, when I wrote it down, is he said, I want you to be restful and excited.

332
00:35:34.640 --> 00:35:39.320
I said, those don't sound like they go together.

333
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.280
So I was trying to switch between those.

334
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:43.280
Okay.

335
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:44.280
Any thoughts?

336
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:48.520
Yeah, that was powerful for me.

337
00:35:48.520 --> 00:35:57.000
It is just a place where I'm going right now with business, you know, God's called me to

338
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:58.000
be a businessman.

339
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:03.000
I'm a kingdom-focused businessman, and this is what I love.

340
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.000
This is what I'm needing.

341
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:10.040
Had a long conversation with my wife yesterday about it, and I just appreciate all of this,

342
00:36:10.040 --> 00:36:14.280
and then hearing it through the voice of Jesus like that, that was powerful, because he was

343
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:15.280
like, we're co-laboring.

344
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.800
I'm your business partner.

345
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:17.800
I'm your business partner.

346
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.840
So that really spoke to me.

347
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:20.840
Thanks.

348
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.840
Oh, you're most welcome.

349
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:22.840
Okay.

350
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.840
Any questions, thoughts, ideas?

351
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:26.840
Okay.

352
00:36:27.160 --> 00:36:30.560
Hey, Robin, is that you in your cap in the car?

353
00:36:30.560 --> 00:36:32.560
Yes, it is.

354
00:36:32.560 --> 00:36:36.840
Is this going to be transcribed so that we can have that meditation?

355
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:38.840
Oh, for sure.

356
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:41.520
Yeah, we'll pull that out like we did last time.

357
00:36:41.520 --> 00:36:47.320
We did a prophetic word like that, and we'll pull it out as a separate part of the, we'll

358
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:49.240
drop it in the curriculum as a separate thing.

359
00:36:49.240 --> 00:36:52.320
So you can, if you just want to listen to that piece, and some of you just want the

360
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.000
audio, I know, so we'll do that too.

361
00:36:55.160 --> 00:36:57.920
I'm making all these promises for dear to keep.

362
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:02.160
All right, thanks, dear, appreciate it.

363
00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:05.680
Yeah, we'll pull that out and give you the transcript as well.

364
00:37:05.680 --> 00:37:07.000
Excellent.

365
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:12.240
Well, so that wraps up kind of session one.

366
00:37:12.240 --> 00:37:15.960
Let's get into session two, which is really getting down to the nuts and bolts, taking

367
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:17.720
bold action.

368
00:37:17.720 --> 00:37:19.920
How do we do this?

369
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:28.960
And so I thought the, so many of us, as I said before, I want to focus today on calendaring

370
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.440
and creating the perfect week.

371
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:37.520
Many of you follow Dan Mattel, and I think it's a fantastic downstairs practical wisdom

372
00:37:37.520 --> 00:37:38.520
that he gives.

373
00:37:38.520 --> 00:37:44.840
You know, he uses this phrase, design the perfect week you do not have to retire from.

374
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.920
And I'm thinking, wow, that's a pretty good week.

375
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:51.040
If you want to do this for the rest of your life week, that's a good week.

376
00:37:51.040 --> 00:37:53.720
That's a good design, right?

377
00:37:53.720 --> 00:37:58.160
And great, if you say, I don't want to be doing this for the rest of my life, then it's

378
00:37:58.160 --> 00:38:01.120
a great question you should be having with the Lord about this.

379
00:38:01.120 --> 00:38:07.040
So what I thought to do is to share with you some of the best practices around this.

380
00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:13.400
So how do we design the perfect week or the perfect calendar for your partnership?

381
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:20.440
How do we accommodate our partnership in our practical weekly design of our week?

382
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:23.760
And I'd love to hear what you guys do, but I thought I'd kick off the conversation with

383
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:25.360
what I do.

384
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.640
And again, this is ripe fruit.

385
00:38:27.640 --> 00:38:31.720
This isn't some green thoughts that we just, you know, green fruit, you know, we've talked

386
00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:33.360
about that before.

387
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:36.640
You know what green fruit is, you've listened to those sermons before, right?

388
00:38:36.640 --> 00:38:39.960
Somebody did something a few days ago, went to scriptures, got some verses together, put

389
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:42.040
some points together.

390
00:38:42.040 --> 00:38:43.300
We don't live that verse.

391
00:38:43.300 --> 00:38:44.880
We just know about that verse.

392
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:49.060
And then you, you bite into that fruit and it's really bitter green fruit.

393
00:38:49.060 --> 00:38:50.720
So what we want is ripe fruit.

394
00:38:50.720 --> 00:38:54.320
And so whenever you're sharing anything and everything we try to share on these things

395
00:38:54.320 --> 00:39:00.280
are things that we have practiced for years or things that are, we feel are, have taken

396
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.920
hold in our lives.

397
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:06.640
And somebody asked me the other day, do you guys at Brilliant know any, you sound like

398
00:39:06.640 --> 00:39:11.800
you know, like five verses, do you know there are more verses in the Bible than five?

399
00:39:12.560 --> 00:39:14.600
And the reason isn't that we don't know there's no verses.

400
00:39:14.600 --> 00:39:17.040
We just want you to become those verses.

401
00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:20.360
And how many verses can you become in a year?

402
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:25.220
So the idea of reading through the whole Bible in a year at best is going to give you some

403
00:39:25.220 --> 00:39:28.640
downstairs academic oversight thing.

404
00:39:28.640 --> 00:39:33.160
But how many of those verses are going to become verses you live?

405
00:39:33.160 --> 00:39:34.520
So take the pressure off.

406
00:39:34.520 --> 00:39:38.000
You are not going to learn every verse in the Bible and become it.

407
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:39.000
Not in your lifetime.

408
00:39:39.200 --> 00:39:42.760
But the good news is we have eternity to that.

409
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:46.040
So slow learning is kingdom learning.

410
00:39:46.040 --> 00:39:47.340
Let's get to it.

411
00:39:47.340 --> 00:39:54.040
So number one, I've learned two questions that have really changed my life.

412
00:39:54.040 --> 00:39:59.200
And sorry to those who heard the story before, but the way I learned this is I had to do

413
00:39:59.200 --> 00:39:59.960
this.

414
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.080
presentation, and I had to write about an 80 page when I was doing my private equity thing.

415
00:40:08.080 --> 00:40:13.600
The person we were doing this for is very well known, and I felt tremendous pressure because of

416
00:40:13.600 --> 00:40:21.360
that. At one point, he was running for president, so I was feeling under tremendous pressure to do

417
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:28.880
this incredible work. They just dumped so much stuff on me all at once, and I said to Bridget

418
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:33.280
Mann, if I just work through the night and then work through the next day, by five o'clock the

419
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:39.280
next day, maybe before that, if I just go flat out, get up really early, do the 24-hour thing,

420
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:44.880
and then all the way into the afternoon, maybe I'll get it done. But even then, the Lord's going

421
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:49.520
to really have to help me. I'm going to have to get all the research just exactly. I have to nail

422
00:40:49.520 --> 00:40:56.080
down. The financial models have to work. They never do in those things when you're trying to

423
00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:01.440
model out a business and so forth. There's so much complexity in especially what we were doing.

424
00:41:02.640 --> 00:41:08.320
I sit down to do my big plan. Bridget goes out, and the Lord says, go and read a book.

425
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.360
I said, you mean like for an hour just to relax? No, the Lord says, take the day off.

426
00:41:15.600 --> 00:41:18.800
You know how it is when you start explaining to the Lord in case he doesn't understand.

427
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:26.560
So I went through that useless exercise. Bridget comes back and says, I thought you had all this

428
00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:30.880
work to do. I said, yeah, no, I'm trying to read a book. I was like reading a book. I don't think

429
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:36.880
I was really reading a book. I think I was just half ripping out the pages. To say I was functioning

430
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:41.360
from rest would be a complete lie. There was nothing restful about this day. It was very

431
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:47.600
stressful. So I go through the day. Of course, I don't work through the night. The next afternoon,

432
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:53.280
I get a call at four o'clock. The thing's due at five. It's due at five. I've written nothing,

433
00:41:53.840 --> 00:42:00.800
done nothing, written nothing. I get a call at four from the guy, and he says, actually,

434
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:06.800
the attorney represents him. He says, oh man, we feel so bad giving you this call. I said, why?

435
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:12.720
He said, man, we don't need that report for another couple of weeks. I said, really? He said,

436
00:42:12.720 --> 00:42:17.120
yeah, I bet you worked through the night. I don't know what you did, but man, we just feel sorry.

437
00:42:17.120 --> 00:42:21.680
We only just found out, you know, whatever. So I put down the phone. I said, Lord,

438
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:27.200
I wish I had known that I could have rested. And the Lord said, you did know that and you didn't

439
00:42:27.200 --> 00:42:36.960
rest. And then I learned I have to learn to function from rest. So now to circumvent that,

440
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:42.960
I started asking the Lord every day. So Father, what are we doing today? Now I know the plan,

441
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:47.120
and I've got my schedule just like you, and I've got all the stuff that has to be done on my to-do

442
00:42:47.120 --> 00:42:51.360
list, and I've got my cue book, and I've got all that. But I want to know, what are we doing today?

443
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:56.880
I want to know, what's the adventure with you today? Then I learned over time to add that to

444
00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:01.440
the week. So when we're starting the week, Lord, what's the big rock for the week? What's the big

445
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:05.840
move for the week that you're doing? Because if you're doing, if you're giving me that permission,

446
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:13.680
I'm taking some serious, bold downstairs action. So it just put me in a such, so I plan out my week,

447
00:43:13.680 --> 00:43:19.360
but I'm kind of holding it lightly. So when I design my perfect week, that's based on my

448
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:26.480
partnership, you know, I want to prioritize the thing that the partnership is calling for.

449
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:30.400
So even if I've got all these things, and the Lord says, we're focusing on this. And I say, well,

450
00:43:30.560 --> 00:43:36.160
if we focus on this, I have to move other things around. And sometimes He just takes care of it,

451
00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:41.040
because one thing you learn in business, and as an executive, is that Jesus is a quickening spirit.

452
00:43:42.080 --> 00:43:47.680
By that, I mean, He compresses time. What you thought would take a month, will take a week.

453
00:43:47.680 --> 00:43:51.440
What you thought will take a week, take a day. What you thought will take a day, will take an hour.

454
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:57.200
He just gets in on it. And Holy Spirit just pounds your brain with ideas, and you get through stuff.

455
00:43:57.200 --> 00:44:01.040
Anybody had this experience, where the Lord, you thought it was going to take a long time,

456
00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:04.160
and then the Lord just compressed it out. Okay, you guys know what I'm talking about.

457
00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:09.840
So because of that, I know that He can compress my schedule, and do whatever He wants.

458
00:44:10.720 --> 00:44:17.680
So here's what I do. I design this week out, and I'm going to show you that design in a second.

459
00:44:17.680 --> 00:44:21.120
And then here are a couple of best practices, before we get into the practical

460
00:44:21.120 --> 00:44:27.680
bookshop side of this. So once a month, once a month, I give the Lord four hours,

461
00:44:27.680 --> 00:44:34.320
one deep work session, four hours, just to talk to Him about, how am I doing? How's my leadership?

462
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:38.960
How's our partnership? You know, I mean, I talk about it every day, a bit to Him, but then I

463
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:45.200
take a moment. Why do I do that? Because sometimes we have to take a minute to acknowledge what we're

464
00:44:45.200 --> 00:44:53.440
learning, to acknowledge what He is seeing, and to see, and just to, you know, as you go through

465
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:59.040
that review, things become even clearer. So we'll discuss promises, prophetic words, sometimes He'll

466
00:44:59.040 --> 00:45:00.080
point me back to an old

467
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.680
prophetic words. By the way, prophetic words were given outside of time and space. So,

468
00:45:03.680 --> 00:45:09.120
but the Southern endless that you don't need, well, prophetic words do not have a sell by date.

469
00:45:09.120 --> 00:45:13.040
So you'll keep them for the rest of your life. You know, there will always be an element of

470
00:45:13.040 --> 00:45:18.480
something beautiful in them. So we talk about my leadership upgrades, Lord, how am I leading?

471
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:23.680
How, how's our partnership reflecting? How's my leadership reflecting our partnership?

472
00:45:24.240 --> 00:45:27.920
You know, what's my growth? What's my upgrades? And then we'll talk about strategy for the

473
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:34.000
business again. So I found, I found that once a month working on the business with the Lord

474
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:41.760
is better than working in it on my own. So that's the once a month thing. The once a week thing

475
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:47.680
is I spend one four hour session each week co-creating with him. That's a session in which

476
00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:54.160
we do stuff together. We create content strategy. We work on new financial concepts, leadership

477
00:45:54.160 --> 00:45:58.480
stuff that, that we're developing, that we're sharing in our group, because of course,

478
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:06.480
part of my call is to help others walk in their partnership. Part of my partnership is to help

479
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:12.240
others walk in their partnership. That's my job, right? So that's part of what I do. And then the

480
00:46:12.240 --> 00:46:17.680
first thing every day is those questions. So what I love for those of you on the brilliant school of

481
00:46:17.680 --> 00:46:23.920
leadership, you already know this, this kingdom routine. Start new every morning, new every

482
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:30.400
morning. Imagine getting saved every morning. There's no accusation from yesterday. And so the

483
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:35.760
thing here is to never allow yesterday's negative stuff, especially in the business to compound into

484
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:42.880
today. The enemy relies on the negative compounding like a snowball because that, because he has no

485
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:49.440
resources or they're extremely limited in heaven. We have endless resources. We live in abundance in

486
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:54.800
the kingdom, but what he has to do is he has to rely on you to help him out. And the way he gets

487
00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:00.720
that to us to do that is to compound negatives and just let that compound up into something

488
00:47:00.720 --> 00:47:05.040
of substance and then get you to add a personal pronoun to it. So it becomes yours. Then it

489
00:47:05.040 --> 00:47:10.480
becomes, it becomes my business problem and my pain and my whatever. And once he's got your

490
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:15.280
personal pronoun attached, then his job is to make it a stronghold and say, you see, this is

491
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:22.480
just how it's going to be. There's no real way out of this. So, and you watch that, that process happen

492
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:26.480
all the time. Well, you know what short circuits it right off the bat is if you start new every

493
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:34.320
morning, his mercies on you every morning. And what it does is it does Psalm 92 for me. Psalm 92 too

494
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:40.720
says, I declare his goodness in the morning. And I thank him for his faithfulness at night

495
00:47:40.720 --> 00:47:45.360
because I've experienced his goodness. So I start off with an expectation of goodness in the morning

496
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:49.840
and at night, I thank him for the goodness that I experienced. And my whole mindset is looking for

497
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:56.240
goodness. I set an expectation of goodness. And then over time, Lord just keeps raising that

498
00:47:56.240 --> 00:48:02.720
expectation and finally teaching your team, how to interact with you in this process. I'll get

499
00:48:02.720 --> 00:48:08.960
into that in a bit. So let me just share with you on the screen. So here's, you may want to get

500
00:48:11.120 --> 00:48:14.800
the exercise portion and then we'll get into some laser coaching around this.

501
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:34.400
Okay. Can everybody see that just as exercise guys see that? Yeah. All right. So creating

502
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:40.400
alignment in your partnership, I want to talk through the simple idea. And if you've, if you've

503
00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:46.480
used this before, that's fine. There's your A space, your B space and your C space, right?

504
00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:53.680
A space is when you do, by the way, the things I'm talking about here are all things that you

505
00:48:53.680 --> 00:49:01.520
are good at doing. These are, there's not a skills list. This is how it feeds your soul list. What

506
00:49:01.520 --> 00:49:09.840
energizes you. So when I do teaching, when I, when I'm finished teaching, I'll have more energy than

507
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:13.440
before I started. You know what I'm talking about, right? When you've done the thing you were

508
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:19.760
designed to do, grace flows through you. It's why we call it grace space. Grace flows through you

509
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:27.200
and it energizes you in the process. So if I were doing something that was awful, like leading

510
00:49:27.200 --> 00:49:32.480
worship, then everybody would be stabbing themselves in the leg with a fork and asking,

511
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:37.360
please get him to stop immediately. Grace would flow the wrong way. I would suck grace out of the

512
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:44.720
entire group because they, you know, they're not my space. So that's why we have the leaders lead,

513
00:49:44.720 --> 00:49:49.520
the worship leaders lead worship, you know, the teachers teach and so on. But when we get that

514
00:49:49.520 --> 00:49:56.160
wrong, what happens is grace doesn't flow in the right direction. So the idea here is to identify

515
00:49:56.160 --> 00:49:59.680
with the Lord, Lord, what this energizes me.

516
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.520
Neutral things, they neither energize nor deplete me.

517
00:50:03.520 --> 00:50:05.440
And then there's stuff that depletes me.

518
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:07.840
So if I'm, like for instance,

519
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:09.520
I love doing financial modeling

520
00:50:09.520 --> 00:50:12.020
because it teaches me the nuts and bolts of the business.

521
00:50:12.020 --> 00:50:13.840
I learned this when I was doing private equity.

522
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.080
If we were gonna invest in a business,

523
00:50:16.080 --> 00:50:17.960
I had, doing the model myself

524
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:21.320
and not giving it to a CFO to do was really critical

525
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.320
because it taught, I really got deep

526
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:25.200
into what makes this business work.

527
00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:26.040
Where's the money?

528
00:50:26.040 --> 00:50:28.640
What's the one thing, what's the knob we have to turn?

529
00:50:28.680 --> 00:50:30.120
I love doing modeling,

530
00:50:30.120 --> 00:50:31.800
but you know what I hate doing?

531
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:32.640
Accounting.

532
00:50:32.640 --> 00:50:34.000
You'll say, well, they're so similar.

533
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.320
No, the one is being a CFO work

534
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.720
and the other is an accountant's work.

535
00:50:38.720 --> 00:50:42.200
Accountant is like a journalist, tells you what happened.

536
00:50:42.200 --> 00:50:44.720
Hey, a month ago, we went bankrupt.

537
00:50:44.720 --> 00:50:46.100
You know, not much you can do about it,

538
00:50:46.100 --> 00:50:47.480
but here's the report.

539
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:49.680
So I'm not mocking accountants.

540
00:50:49.680 --> 00:50:51.360
I know we have accountants here.

541
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.520
I'm just saying for me, it's a depleting exercise.

542
00:50:53.520 --> 00:50:54.940
I need a nap afterwards.

543
00:50:54.940 --> 00:50:57.400
You know, it's like enough already.

544
00:50:57.400 --> 00:50:59.880
So let's take a minute.

545
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:05.280
Why don't you just draw three columns or make a quick list?

546
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:09.000
What is it that you do that energizes you?

547
00:51:10.040 --> 00:51:11.520
And then go straight to the things.

548
00:51:11.520 --> 00:51:12.840
What do you do that depletes you?

549
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:14.680
Again, these are things you're good at doing.

550
00:51:14.680 --> 00:51:16.920
They're not things you're incompetent at.

551
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.980
These are things that you're clearly good at doing.

552
00:51:21.080 --> 00:51:22.340
Take a second on this.

553
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:30.200
Maybe I have some of you guys share.

554
00:51:35.560 --> 00:51:37.200
What energizes you?

555
00:51:37.200 --> 00:51:38.040
What depletes you?

556
00:51:38.040 --> 00:51:40.120
And what's like a wash?

557
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.400
As simple as this exercise builds, by the way,

558
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:05.000
so we have to go to this part to do the other two exercises

559
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:05.840
that follow.

560
00:52:06.160 --> 00:52:08.880
As simple as this exercise builds, by the way,

561
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.360
so we have to go this part to do the other two exercises

562
00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:13.200
that follow.

563
00:52:29.240 --> 00:52:32.040
Emily, I'm glad to see you don't like accounting either.

564
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:35.080
Finance, yes, accounting, not so much.

565
00:52:35.080 --> 00:52:35.960
Yep, that's me.

566
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:40.960
So where, Emily, do you have a list?

567
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:44.560
Are you busy building your list?

568
00:52:44.560 --> 00:52:49.560
I do, so for my A, I love analytics and strategic anything.

569
00:52:51.160 --> 00:52:53.680
I actually was gonna ask on,

570
00:52:53.680 --> 00:52:56.960
have you guys done the leadership assessment

571
00:52:56.960 --> 00:53:00.200
where it asks you like, I don't know, 300, 200 questions?

572
00:53:00.200 --> 00:53:02.680
It's like, it's done by like 4 million.

573
00:53:02.680 --> 00:53:03.800
It's a very well-known one,

574
00:53:03.800 --> 00:53:05.040
although I can't remember the name of it.

575
00:53:05.040 --> 00:53:09.560
Anyways, strategic was my top tier for leadership.

576
00:53:09.560 --> 00:53:13.760
I have, there's like top, there's four that they assess.

577
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:17.760
And yeah, so that's my A is anything with analytics,

578
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:21.520
strategic conversations that just pioneer

579
00:53:21.520 --> 00:53:22.840
and all that good stuff.

580
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:25.520
And then the C, I did depleted accounting

581
00:53:25.520 --> 00:53:27.440
and aging reports, I can't even look at.

582
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:29.400
They make me like nauseous, I can't.

583
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:32.360
I don't know anyone who loves aging reports.

584
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:37.360
I know, and I'm in that space right now in the new,

585
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:39.720
so operations would be logistics.

586
00:53:39.720 --> 00:53:41.560
So anyways, yeah.

587
00:53:41.560 --> 00:53:42.920
Yeah, no, great, thanks for sharing.

588
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:43.760
Anyone else?

589
00:53:47.560 --> 00:53:48.400
I can share,

590
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:51.360
because I just did this exercise on my own this week,

591
00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:54.600
as you know, because it's a good refresher.

592
00:53:54.600 --> 00:53:57.680
So unlike you and Emily,

593
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.880
while I don't love being an accountant,

594
00:53:59.880 --> 00:54:03.440
I love the administration piece of that.

595
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:06.520
So that's really an A seat for me.

596
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:10.680
Content, creating content, business administration,

597
00:54:10.680 --> 00:54:14.000
and then leading the team, that's an A seat.

598
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:18.360
B seat is any kind of like calendar scheduling.

599
00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:20.880
I'm good at it, but it doesn't drain me,

600
00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:22.880
or I mean, it doesn't energize or drain.

601
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:25.120
And then C seat, something that just,

602
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:27.720
that drains is doing these repetitive,

603
00:54:27.720 --> 00:54:29.320
like the uploading of calls,

604
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:31.760
things that other folks can do,

605
00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:35.320
and event coordination, oddly enough.

606
00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:36.160
So.

607
00:54:37.240 --> 00:54:38.800
That's funny.

608
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:39.640
That's funny.

609
00:54:41.080 --> 00:54:43.480
I could jump in there, if anybody wants to hear more.

610
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:44.640
Yeah, go, Roman.

611
00:54:45.720 --> 00:54:48.440
Yeah, I like building value in things.

612
00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:51.200
I just recently bought an RV at an auction,

613
00:54:51.200 --> 00:54:53.840
and I'm like, oh, that's a good idea.

614
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:54.800
I bought an RV at an auction,

615
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:59.560
and I've gotten it in the last two days fixed back up,

616
00:54:59.560 --> 00:55:00.400
and I've built.

617
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.000
value in something. I like drawing plans, coming up with a floor plan or an idea of a house.

618
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:14.000
I like finding a gem, finding a house that's at a discount or something like that,

619
00:55:14.560 --> 00:55:23.040
and I like developing ideas. Those are my likes, you know, if I get an idea for a remote inspection

620
00:55:23.040 --> 00:55:29.040
process and I just kind of research and develop and that's a lot of fun for me. What's

621
00:55:29.120 --> 00:55:36.560
not fun is writing copy. I don't like writing emails and I've been supposed to write

622
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:45.200
an article forever, you know, for two years actually somebody asked me to write an article

623
00:55:45.200 --> 00:55:52.080
and I've been working on a book forever and so that's tough for me and what's neutral is

624
00:55:52.080 --> 00:55:58.160
follow-up phone calls. I'd rather I do them but I don't really care about them.

625
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:03.360
That's great, thanks for sharing. Michael Osler, do you want to share?

626
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:15.600
Sure, it's a great exercise. I know for me like just designing future things,

627
00:56:15.680 --> 00:56:23.360
setting up new systems, when I get to use my gift when I'm composing or worship live events,

628
00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:29.520
I just get energized by that but often yeah just the designing something new or working with,

629
00:56:29.520 --> 00:56:34.080
collaborating with other people creatively, that's like the ultimate for me. I love working

630
00:56:34.080 --> 00:56:41.200
with other people and now I'm the same way as some of you guys, just the admin or the details

631
00:56:41.600 --> 00:56:47.120
of a structure that's harder for me to just to focus on. I really just want to collaborate but

632
00:56:47.120 --> 00:56:50.880
I'm glad that there are people that love that but I'm not one of those.

633
00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:56.960
Jenny's waving her arms about, you need a Jenny in your life, Michael.

634
00:56:58.640 --> 00:57:03.200
Yeah, in case you don't know who Jenny is, Jenny runs Brilliant Perspectives.

635
00:57:05.120 --> 00:57:10.480
So that's fantastic, thanks for sharing. Anyone else want to share? Yeah, let's have a couple

636
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:17.680
more shares. Yeah, I would love to. Yeah, go Tamara. My A is doing anything that's creative

637
00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:22.960
but spending time and brainstorming with others. I love team collaboration,

638
00:57:24.240 --> 00:57:30.480
being strategic, doing the administration, coaching, building teams, I love that part.

639
00:57:31.680 --> 00:57:38.640
What I neutral for me is answering people's tests, doing the accounting, calendaring,

640
00:57:38.640 --> 00:57:44.960
that's all neutral stuff. What I don't like, I don't like emails, I don't like social media,

641
00:57:45.600 --> 00:57:50.880
I don't like mundane repetitive tasks, I hire people to do all of those because I don't like them.

642
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:58.880
That's so funny. Susan, since you're the neuroscientist among us here,

643
00:58:00.080 --> 00:58:06.240
I'm interested in your view here. Well, talking anything neuroscience obviously energizes me.

644
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:12.160
There you go. Yeah, any learning, any studying, reading, research, stuff like that I get really

645
00:58:12.160 --> 00:58:17.360
jazzed about. I realized that I'd like to start things, I like to plan things,

646
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:25.280
not particularly, I can coordinate them so they're kind of neutral into depleting

647
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:32.400
and I just don't like repeating. You know, we did this already, why do we have to do it again?

648
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.160
Let's just move on, let's go, let's get something new, let's get something fresh,

649
00:58:36.160 --> 00:58:42.480
some energy flowing. That's kind of my perspective, yeah. I can tell Bridget's laughing because she's

650
00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:48.480
laughing at me, so I'll give you the mic, Bridget. What depletes you and what energizes you?

651
00:58:50.720 --> 00:58:54.880
What energizes me is being with people and encourage them, especially spiritually,

652
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:58.240
if it's a parent or an older person trying to find their new space.

653
00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:04.080
It's neutral, it's emails, I prefer being one-on-one speaking to people than doing it

654
00:59:04.080 --> 00:59:08.960
through correspondence and I do not like anything with numbers. It's very dangerous for me to be

655
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:14.000
around numbers and I get totally depleted trying to do that, so I'm very thankful I'm married to

656
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:20.400
Dionne. Also anything with technology, doing notion and that, so that's my place of practicing

657
00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:28.720
my patience and peace. That's your grace grower. You should pay extra for notion because they're

658
00:59:28.720 --> 00:59:38.720
helping you grow grace in your life. Great, who else would like to share? I'll go. I love strategic

659
00:59:38.720 --> 00:59:46.080
planning, brainstorming around a person's idea and help them create a plan for it. I'm a

660
00:59:46.080 --> 00:59:51.280
professional project manager and business analyst, so I can help get the requirements

661
00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:56.080
of the owner and then put a project management system together to make them

662
00:59:56.080 --> 00:59:59.760
get that project standing up and get the result that they want.

663
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.960
I love, I love all of that. I don't like operations. I don't

664
01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:09.120
want anything to do with the running the office and whatever.

665
01:00:09.120 --> 01:00:15.640
I love the sales and marketing and then the project, create

666
01:00:15.640 --> 01:00:18.400
the systems and then be able to implement on that, but get it

667
01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:20.480
stood up and then give me the next project. You know what I'm

668
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:20.760
saying?

669
01:00:21.560 --> 01:00:25.680
Yeah, no, for sure. Well, if you guys like that exercise, it's

670
01:00:25.680 --> 01:00:28.520
going to get more intense. So let's take the next step here.

671
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:33.880
Let me go back to sharing my screen. So we talked about the

672
01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:38.160
gray space part. So here's an exercise, which actually, I

673
01:00:38.160 --> 01:00:41.480
think, I just asked Jenny to recently do this. And this is a

674
01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:44.560
great thing to do for your team members at least once a year and

675
01:00:44.560 --> 01:00:49.560
for yourself. So if you map your joy versus your contribution,

676
01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:53.280
your contribution to the organization, so obviously, then

677
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:55.960
you're going to have in the top left, you're going to have high

678
01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:00.120
joy, but low contribution. Top right is going to be high joy,

679
01:01:00.160 --> 01:01:03.480
high contribution, and so on, as you go through that process. So

680
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:06.280
the question is, you know, from doing a four square strategy,

681
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.160
which we've done several times, I think we did something similar

682
01:01:09.160 --> 01:01:11.960
last month on products and services, and which ones should

683
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:15.560
we get rid of and kill and so forth. But this is about your

684
01:01:15.560 --> 01:01:18.600
personal joy and contribution. Obviously, number one quadrant

685
01:01:18.600 --> 01:01:21.440
here is high joy, high contribution. That's where you

686
01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:24.600
want to spend as much of your time. By the way, this is also

687
01:01:25.080 --> 01:01:27.840
what you love doing is your highest contribution to the

688
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:31.080
organization. That's the reason you love it. It's your a seat,

689
01:01:31.080 --> 01:01:35.240
it's where your grace flows, etc. Number two is there's still

690
01:01:35.240 --> 01:01:39.000
high joy for you. Because you know, again, joy is also part of

691
01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:43.560
your strength. So but low contribution. Number three is

692
01:01:43.560 --> 01:01:47.520
low joy, but high contribution. You don't necessarily get joy

693
01:01:47.520 --> 01:01:51.080
out of it, but it really helps the organization when you do it.

694
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:56.200
And number four is the worst, low joy, low contribution. So

695
01:01:56.200 --> 01:02:01.080
the question here then is, what do we do about these? So very,

696
01:02:01.120 --> 01:02:04.840
you know, I would love you to take and put one, two or even

697
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:08.200
three examples in each quadrant for yourself. Just take a piece

698
01:02:08.200 --> 01:02:12.000
of paper, draw the squares and do this for yourself. And write

699
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:19.160
down what is high joy, high concentration for you. And then

700
01:02:19.160 --> 01:02:22.360
map each of those. So fill out quadrants one, two, three and

701
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:27.080
four, try to put at least two items in each and then we'll

702
01:02:27.080 --> 01:02:32.320
get straight back to the nuts and bolts of this. Okay, so I'll

703
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:33.240
give you a minute there.

704
01:02:49.160 --> 01:03:08.120
So, that's good.

705
01:03:49.160 --> 01:03:52.120
Be back in a second. Give you a minute here.

706
01:04:19.160 --> 01:04:36.760
Okay, let's, let's get to it. So before you do any shares, as

707
01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:39.680
you know, whenever you do the four square, and whenever you do

708
01:04:39.680 --> 01:04:45.080
this, this four square strategy, it always uses the same

709
01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:48.960
approach, right. And you know, the approach by now is, you

710
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:53.000
know, step one, delete everything in four. Today, if

711
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:59.200
possible, you should not be doing this. This needs to get

712
01:04:59.200 --> 01:05:00.000
off your list.

713
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.280
you say, well, we're a small team,

714
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:05.280
we've got whatever, we don't need a lot of people.

715
01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:08.360
You have to delete this off your list.

716
01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:10.760
These low joy, low contribution things,

717
01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:13.320
somebody else can order the stationery.

718
01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:17.440
You have to get this stuff off your list today.

719
01:05:18.520 --> 01:05:20.360
You know, when we talked about doing this,

720
01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:22.080
when we went through the product analysis

721
01:05:22.080 --> 01:05:27.080
and looking at how to look at the products

722
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:29.820
and services you offer, it's the same thing.

723
01:05:29.820 --> 01:05:31.500
We wanna get rid of four.

724
01:05:31.500 --> 01:05:35.060
Three, this is a high contribution, so you need to,

725
01:05:35.060 --> 01:05:37.700
this is where you can buy back your time.

726
01:05:37.700 --> 01:05:40.540
This is where you can hire someone, get a VA,

727
01:05:40.540 --> 01:05:43.260
or delegate this to someone else in your organization

728
01:05:43.260 --> 01:05:46.980
who does love this, who for them it is a high joy.

729
01:05:46.980 --> 01:05:49.180
Maybe they can't do the same contribution

730
01:05:49.180 --> 01:05:53.220
at the same level you can, but to quote Dan,

731
01:05:53.220 --> 01:05:55.620
even if they can do 80% of what you did,

732
01:05:55.620 --> 01:05:57.780
that's good enough.

733
01:05:57.780 --> 01:05:59.540
Don't look for somebody who can deliver it

734
01:05:59.540 --> 01:06:01.580
at the same level or better.

735
01:06:01.580 --> 01:06:04.780
You know, over time you could, but this is a great place.

736
01:06:04.780 --> 01:06:06.900
If you're looking for your next hire,

737
01:06:06.900 --> 01:06:09.180
here's where you're gonna focus on.

738
01:06:09.180 --> 01:06:10.620
You're gonna focus your next hire

739
01:06:10.620 --> 01:06:12.660
in the business around this.

740
01:06:12.660 --> 01:06:13.500
We need someone.

741
01:06:13.500 --> 01:06:15.460
Now, if you're in a team and there's literally no one

742
01:06:15.460 --> 01:06:17.020
to delegate it, you definitely,

743
01:06:17.020 --> 01:06:18.180
it's gonna be your next hire.

744
01:06:18.180 --> 01:06:20.240
If there's no one in the team that can carry

745
01:06:20.240 --> 01:06:24.040
a high contribution element to the organization,

746
01:06:24.040 --> 01:06:26.020
this is your next hire.

747
01:06:26.020 --> 01:06:27.980
Think that makes sense to you guys?

748
01:06:27.980 --> 01:06:28.940
Yep.

749
01:06:28.940 --> 01:06:33.640
Okay, the next thing we're gonna go through is,

750
01:06:36.540 --> 01:06:41.540
right, so then this number two,

751
01:06:41.820 --> 01:06:44.380
the high joy, low contribution,

752
01:06:44.380 --> 01:06:47.800
here is the trick, the key here is to contain it.

753
01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:50.120
This is where when we don't feel like doing

754
01:06:50.120 --> 01:06:52.260
the number one stuff or other stuff,

755
01:06:52.260 --> 01:06:54.540
we do this stuff because these are like

756
01:06:54.540 --> 01:06:56.580
our filler tasks we do, you know?

757
01:06:56.580 --> 01:06:59.780
It's like, well, I'm just gonna tweak that design

758
01:06:59.780 --> 01:07:02.540
a little more, gonna get it pixel perfect.

759
01:07:02.540 --> 01:07:03.860
It's not making any contribution,

760
01:07:03.860 --> 01:07:05.900
but it gives me so much joy doing it.

761
01:07:06.780 --> 01:07:09.600
Gonna get that color in that design just right,

762
01:07:09.600 --> 01:07:12.060
because I'm telling myself that, man,

763
01:07:12.060 --> 01:07:14.060
I'm just committed to excellence.

764
01:07:14.060 --> 01:07:15.860
What I'm really doing is making an excuse

765
01:07:15.860 --> 01:07:19.340
for not containing quadrant two stuff.

766
01:07:19.340 --> 01:07:23.380
So, hey, just do it, just contain it, you know?

767
01:07:23.380 --> 01:07:25.980
Set also, if it's a high joy thing,

768
01:07:25.980 --> 01:07:28.540
it usually doesn't need your prime time.

769
01:07:28.540 --> 01:07:31.580
It doesn't need your prime allocation at that moment, right?

770
01:07:31.580 --> 01:07:33.940
It doesn't need, if you're best in the morning,

771
01:07:33.940 --> 01:07:37.240
then don't do quadrant two stuff first thing in the morning.

772
01:07:37.240 --> 01:07:40.580
Put all your quadrant one stuff, prioritize this,

773
01:07:40.580 --> 01:07:43.220
your high contribution, high joy stuff.

774
01:07:43.220 --> 01:07:46.020
Also, by prioritization, I don't mean just do it first.

775
01:07:46.020 --> 01:07:50.980
I mean, schedule it in your day at the time

776
01:07:50.980 --> 01:07:53.160
you have the highest energy.

777
01:07:53.940 --> 01:07:55.080
When you have the highest energy

778
01:07:55.080 --> 01:07:58.400
together with your high joy, high contribution,

779
01:07:58.400 --> 01:07:59.640
this is when you're gonna become

780
01:07:59.640 --> 01:08:02.280
massively effective at what you do.

781
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:06.560
And I would also put around quadrant one here

782
01:08:06.560 --> 01:08:10.000
is quadrant one needs defense.

783
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:12.560
You need to protect this time.

784
01:08:12.560 --> 01:08:14.120
This time needs protection.

785
01:08:14.120 --> 01:08:15.680
What do I mean by that?

786
01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:19.520
No emails, no social media, no distractions,

787
01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:20.760
because you know from all the research

788
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:21.840
we've already shared with you

789
01:08:21.840 --> 01:08:24.040
that multitasking makes you dumb.

790
01:08:24.040 --> 01:08:27.760
It literally causes you to drop your IQ

791
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:31.960
by 10, 15, even sometimes as high as 20 points.

792
01:08:31.960 --> 01:08:35.080
So none of this, I'm brilliant at multitasking stuff.

793
01:08:35.080 --> 01:08:35.920
It's not true.

794
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:37.359
You just do a lot of things poorly.

795
01:08:37.359 --> 01:08:39.819
So what you do when you're in this mode,

796
01:08:39.819 --> 01:08:42.920
really prioritize this stuff together

797
01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:45.120
and cut out and don't answer your texts,

798
01:08:45.120 --> 01:08:47.880
don't answer your phone, lock this down.

799
01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:52.840
If you can protect one and delete four,

800
01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:54.720
you've already doubled your productivity

801
01:08:54.720 --> 01:08:58.359
in this one session, literally.

802
01:08:58.359 --> 01:08:59.760
Think about it for a second.

803
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:04.760
If you can protect one, delete four,

804
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:07.560
you're on the road.

805
01:09:07.560 --> 01:09:09.560
The two is easier to contain,

806
01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:11.359
three may take a little more work.

807
01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:14.359
What do you guys feel about?

808
01:09:14.359 --> 01:09:17.600
And yeah, if I could say something about that, Dion,

809
01:09:17.600 --> 01:09:20.319
it's interesting that what you said

810
01:09:20.319 --> 01:09:22.439
just makes perfect sense.

811
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:27.680
But what I've been doing is prioritizing

812
01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:30.279
the number three items

813
01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:32.580
because I don't have the grace for those.

814
01:09:32.580 --> 01:09:36.359
And it's like, I really am trying to tackle those

815
01:09:36.359 --> 01:09:40.279
when I have, because if I have low joy and low energy

816
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:44.040
and kind of brain fog and not clear,

817
01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:45.899
it's extra hard for me.

818
01:09:45.899 --> 01:09:47.920
So I'm trying to prioritize those items

819
01:09:47.920 --> 01:09:51.160
I don't have as much grace for when I'm freshest.

820
01:09:51.160 --> 01:09:53.359
But then the downside of that is,

821
01:09:53.359 --> 01:09:54.940
I'm feeling like I'm gonna have more grace

822
01:09:54.940 --> 01:09:56.760
to do number one naturally.

823
01:09:56.760 --> 01:09:57.600
You know what I mean?

824
01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:00.120
So, but it's still not optimal.

825
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.200
you know. No, it is a temptation. That's like trying to fix your weaknesses. It is a temptation. The

826
01:10:05.200 --> 01:10:10.000
better thing is to lean into your strengths. So what you're doing is give your best time to once

827
01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:16.560
for sure and then on three use that time to figure out how can I give this? Can I do this with a

828
01:10:16.560 --> 01:10:23.200
virtual assistant? Can I outsource this? Can I delegate this to another team member? You know,

829
01:10:23.200 --> 01:10:29.120
is there some other way that I can do this? I know that Dan Mattel's view is your first hire

830
01:10:29.120 --> 01:10:33.040
should be an executive assistant. I know that's what he thinks. If you're starting a business

831
01:10:33.040 --> 01:10:41.120
that your first hire should be an EA. That is fine up to a point if it fits in this grid.

832
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:48.320
It depends a lot about what you're doing and how you work. So there's no doubt in his case that

833
01:10:48.320 --> 01:10:53.600
must be the case because of the way that he works. Because once you've done this prioritization,

834
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:57.760
this is only step two of the exercise. Step three is still coming when we start putting this down

835
01:10:57.760 --> 01:11:04.160
into a calendar. So as you're putting that going through this process, I found that you need to do

836
01:11:04.160 --> 01:11:09.200
this for yourself at least every six months. You've got to stop for a sec because it drifts.

837
01:11:09.200 --> 01:11:16.000
You know, you start off getting clear and then it just drifts off and taking stuff off you. You say,

838
01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:20.480
well, I'm the owner. You know, I'm a kingdom leader. I should be a servant leader. I should

839
01:11:20.480 --> 01:11:26.560
be willing to do the lousy jobs. Actually you're not serving your team by doing this.

840
01:11:27.280 --> 01:11:32.320
You're not serving your partnership because it's not your biggest contribution to the organization.

841
01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:38.240
So you have to not only prioritize and protect your, thank you so much, your contribution

842
01:11:39.040 --> 01:11:43.120
to the organization, but I bet you that's also where your permission is.

843
01:11:45.120 --> 01:11:51.280
So it's counterintuitive, right? So I can see, yeah, I can see Jeremy that one would think that,

844
01:11:52.000 --> 01:11:57.440
but I would use your time to get rid of it or get it off your plate or at least oversee it and make

845
01:11:57.440 --> 01:12:03.280
sure someone else that you might find though, that there is a way to add joy to a three,

846
01:12:03.280 --> 01:12:09.040
to make it a one. Sometimes it's the way you're doing three. So if you think of what,

847
01:12:09.040 --> 01:12:12.880
what moves the needle there, let's just, let's just go back there for a second, right? What's

848
01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:19.360
moving the needle. So think about why is it a three and not a one? It's lacking joy. Maybe

849
01:12:19.360 --> 01:12:24.720
there's something I can add to that process. Maybe there's a way I do it. And you know,

850
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:31.680
we talk about inversion where you add two things that don't go together, you know, like I think

851
01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:36.720
the example Greg McKeon gave in his book, Effortless, he hated returning phone calls,

852
01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:40.080
but he was very good at returning phone calls to his key clients at the end of the day.

853
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:44.720
But he was, he always left him to the end of the day because it was a low joy,

854
01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:48.240
but high contribution to his business. But then he thought, what do I love to do?

855
01:12:48.240 --> 01:12:52.800
I love to sit in the hot tub and drink my favorite wine. So guess what he did? He sat

856
01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:56.880
in the hot tub with his favorite wine and call these customers. And the first thing he told them

857
01:12:56.880 --> 01:13:03.120
is I'm calling you from the hot tub. Now that's a way he added joy and he made a three, a one.

858
01:13:03.120 --> 01:13:10.320
So that is an option. You can do that. So, you know, there are ways to, there are ways to do it.

859
01:13:12.480 --> 01:13:15.680
I don't think you should try to fix fours. I think you just get rid of them

860
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:22.800
as fast as possible, but threes you can work on. And twos, you think, well, what's, if it's high

861
01:13:22.800 --> 01:13:28.640
joy, why is it such a low contribution? You might, you might find a way to increase its contribution

862
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:34.160
somehow, maybe by combining it with something else, like something else that's also more strategic.

863
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:41.440
So you can be clever by changing and combining things. So this idea of combining something you

864
01:13:41.440 --> 01:13:47.680
don't like doing with something you love doing, that can be a very powerful way. It's a technique

865
01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:55.040
called inversion. It's a very powerful way. So what, why it's called inversion is in quadrant

866
01:13:55.040 --> 01:13:59.360
three, it's like, oh, this is, this is, you know, such drudgery. Well, what if it's not?

867
01:14:00.080 --> 01:14:04.720
So that's what you've asked the opposite question. What is it? What if it's not drudgery to me?

868
01:14:05.200 --> 01:14:10.560
What if it's not, I have to do this thing? What, what would not make me feel that?

869
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:16.240
And so you could, you could up it that way, but I prefer the delegating and higher planned.

870
01:14:17.840 --> 01:14:22.000
I do think it's better. Okay. That makes sense. It's a great question,

871
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:24.880
Jeremy. Thanks for bringing that up. That really is great.

872
01:14:28.400 --> 01:14:32.160
So as you're thinking about, if you're thinking about all of this stuff that's going on now,

873
01:14:32.160 --> 01:14:39.200
does anybody, does anybody have any epiphanies right now about my, that opens up my mind.

874
01:14:39.200 --> 01:14:43.680
That's given me some new possibilities. Yeah. Matthew, did you want to share some,

875
01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:50.720
what did you get out of that? Let me call on you there. Oops. I just saw your thumbs going up.

876
01:14:50.720 --> 01:14:56.240
So I just, I, well, I just, I, I, I caught fire there. You, when you showed me the chart and I'm

877
01:14:56.240 --> 01:14:59.760
very visual and, and I just, I realized.

878
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.480
that I've been really challenged.

879
01:15:03.480 --> 01:15:05.600
It's been a ridiculously

880
01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:10.680
to crawl space kind of week.

881
01:15:12.120 --> 01:15:15.600
And I was sharing with Bridget earlier,

882
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:17.680
but it just, I'm so glad I'm here.

883
01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:22.040
I've been so exhausted at the end of every day

884
01:15:22.040 --> 01:15:26.000
that getting up and doing what I love has been really hard.

885
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:27.320
And I realized in this moment

886
01:15:27.320 --> 01:15:29.880
that I need to shift my schedule

887
01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:31.520
to all the things that I love doing,

888
01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:33.880
that bring me joy, that I get excited about,

889
01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:36.920
that made me wanna get up at five in the morning,

890
01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:38.680
shift all of those to everything

891
01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:41.240
at the beginning of my day,

892
01:15:41.240 --> 01:15:44.640
so that I come out of the chute just on fire,

893
01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:46.520
excited about what I know I'm gonna get to do

894
01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:49.360
in the morning, pouring into people's lives,

895
01:15:49.360 --> 01:15:50.960
doing discipleship, mentoring,

896
01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:53.000
and all of the things that are part of my job,

897
01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:54.440
the part that I love,

898
01:15:54.440 --> 01:15:57.720
and move all of the other things to the end of the day.

899
01:15:57.720 --> 01:16:00.320
And I just, I scheduled all that out

900
01:16:00.320 --> 01:16:01.160
while you were talking.

901
01:16:01.160 --> 01:16:02.880
So I'm just really, I'm super excited.

902
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:06.080
And it's, I can't wait to wake up tomorrow.

903
01:16:06.080 --> 01:16:07.040
That's fantastic.

904
01:16:07.040 --> 01:16:11.000
Well, I was thinking of another story that might help.

905
01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:13.440
I think I'm quoting Pat Flynn,

906
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:16.440
the guy who wrote Superfans.

907
01:16:17.600 --> 01:16:20.480
And Pat says that he doesn't,

908
01:16:21.240 --> 01:16:22.080
you know, it's just,

909
01:16:22.080 --> 01:16:25.200
it's a lot for him to respond to his subscribers.

910
01:16:25.200 --> 01:16:27.000
There's so many of them, firstly.

911
01:16:27.000 --> 01:16:28.800
And you get so many,

912
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:31.200
he feels like, oh, I'm not doing enough.

913
01:16:31.200 --> 01:16:33.520
But he does love walking his dog.

914
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:34.840
So on Friday afternoons,

915
01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:38.120
he does an extra long walk with the dog for an hour,

916
01:16:38.120 --> 01:16:40.120
and he takes his phone,

917
01:16:40.120 --> 01:16:42.200
and he just does these quick down and dirty.

918
01:16:42.200 --> 01:16:44.800
He doesn't try to do a production level anything,

919
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:46.920
just his phone, raw, go live.

920
01:16:46.920 --> 01:16:48.280
Hey, I was thinking about you,

921
01:16:48.280 --> 01:16:50.040
or just saying, thank you.

922
01:16:50.600 --> 01:16:53.760
And he calls it surprising your customer.

923
01:16:53.760 --> 01:16:56.360
You know, they weren't expecting to hear from you.

924
01:16:56.360 --> 01:16:59.320
It's a very powerful way to connect with people.

925
01:16:59.320 --> 01:17:02.600
So anyway, he combines something he doesn't like doing,

926
01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:06.000
you know, responding to the social media crowd

927
01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:07.520
of subscribers and so on,

928
01:17:07.520 --> 01:17:08.920
with something he does love doing.

929
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:12.160
So, and I wanted to call on Diya, where are you?

930
01:17:12.160 --> 01:17:13.120
There you go.

931
01:17:13.120 --> 01:17:17.080
I know you've been practicing this for some years,

932
01:17:17.080 --> 01:17:19.320
this inversion idea.

933
01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:21.560
And one of my favorite techniques,

934
01:17:21.560 --> 01:17:23.400
once you really get it down for yourself,

935
01:17:23.400 --> 01:17:25.600
is to use it for all your team members.

936
01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:28.320
Because you can take someone

937
01:17:28.320 --> 01:17:31.640
who maybe was performing well or mediocre,

938
01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:34.960
and rearrange and shifting their table

939
01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:36.080
or their work responsibilities

940
01:17:36.080 --> 01:17:38.400
to making them a superstar and a super contributor.

941
01:17:38.400 --> 01:17:41.120
So it's really empowering, and it's really exciting.

942
01:17:41.120 --> 01:17:44.320
And it's just one of my favorite things to do,

943
01:17:44.320 --> 01:17:45.720
because it gets it right down

944
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:48.200
to the very, very core elements very quickly.

945
01:17:49.200 --> 01:17:51.080
And then learning, okay, can I automate?

946
01:17:51.080 --> 01:17:52.120
Can I batch tasks?

947
01:17:52.120 --> 01:17:53.200
Can I use inversion?

948
01:17:53.200 --> 01:17:54.800
How do I hack this system

949
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:58.080
so that we get all the things done that have to get done,

950
01:17:58.080 --> 01:18:00.480
but do it in a way that brings more life and more joy?

951
01:18:00.480 --> 01:18:01.520
Was there something specific

952
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:03.000
you wanted me to talk about, Dionne?

953
01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:03.840
No.

954
01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:05.400
Well, have you ever combined two things

955
01:18:05.400 --> 01:18:07.040
to help you increase joy over competition?

956
01:18:07.040 --> 01:18:07.880
I have.

957
01:18:07.880 --> 01:18:11.440
I know the answer, but I wanted you to say it.

958
01:18:11.440 --> 01:18:12.760
Yes, exactly.

959
01:18:12.760 --> 01:18:15.320
It always comes down to coffee and chocolate.

960
01:18:15.320 --> 01:18:18.000
So I always use my inversion.

961
01:18:18.760 --> 01:18:19.600
If there's something I don't wanna do,

962
01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:22.120
I'll make sure I have my coffee prepared ahead of time

963
01:18:22.120 --> 01:18:24.000
and my chocolate prepared ahead of time

964
01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:26.000
so that I can get through whatever those tasks are

965
01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:27.200
that are maybe my B-seat,

966
01:18:27.200 --> 01:18:29.000
or it's definitely the C-seat items

967
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:33.360
if I can't delegate or move those onto somewhere else.

968
01:18:33.360 --> 01:18:34.960
Yeah, yeah.

969
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:37.080
We'll go through the, thanks for sharing that.

970
01:18:37.080 --> 01:18:40.320
We'll go through the power hack of this in a second here.

971
01:18:40.320 --> 01:18:43.920
But if we go back to this exercise.

972
01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:46.760
So here's how you design your week.

973
01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:49.600
So now we know our A, B, C-seat stuff.

974
01:18:49.600 --> 01:18:51.360
We know our joy table.

975
01:18:51.360 --> 01:18:53.600
Now, how do we put all that into a schedule?

976
01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:56.320
So I thought I'll share mine with you.

977
01:18:57.240 --> 01:18:58.840
This is how we do this.

978
01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:01.800
And I'll go through all the design elements and so forth.

979
01:19:01.800 --> 01:19:04.800
So the first thing for me is in my partnership

980
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:08.160
with the Lord, as you know, I run four companies.

981
01:19:08.160 --> 01:19:10.440
So in the four entities, they are four entities,

982
01:19:10.440 --> 01:19:12.320
but they're very strongly related.

983
01:19:12.320 --> 01:19:14.560
Effectively, we're one company

984
01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:18.360
that serves four different customers groups,

985
01:19:18.360 --> 01:19:20.320
four different who's your who.

986
01:19:20.320 --> 01:19:21.480
We have four different who's.

987
01:19:21.480 --> 01:19:23.360
That's why we have four companies.

988
01:19:23.360 --> 01:19:27.080
So for me, this design element number one

989
01:19:27.080 --> 01:19:30.040
is set up a rhythm to your way.

990
01:19:30.040 --> 01:19:30.880
Think of a hat.

991
01:19:30.880 --> 01:19:32.880
What hat am I wearing?

992
01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:37.880
Think of a, so I can put on my school of leadership hat

993
01:19:38.960 --> 01:19:40.360
or my church hat.

994
01:19:40.360 --> 01:19:41.720
So as Bridget and I,

995
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:43.440
who are the senior pastors of the church,

996
01:19:43.440 --> 01:19:45.760
we have responsibilities in the church.

997
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:47.960
We run this program, The Edge.

998
01:19:47.960 --> 01:19:49.280
We run the school of leadership.

999
01:19:49.280 --> 01:19:54.280
Of course, Jenny helps me run Brilliant Perspectives.

1000
01:19:54.400 --> 01:19:55.840
So the way I've set this,

1001
01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:58.720
the way I'm set up is I start with what's my focus.

1002
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:00.360
I've given each day a focus.

1003
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:04.200
focus. So for me, my Monday is my leadership focus. And I'm not

1004
01:20:04.200 --> 01:20:06.280
talking about the topic of leadership, I'm talking about

1005
01:20:06.280 --> 01:20:10.260
leading the people I lead. So in my case, you know, Bridget helps

1006
01:20:10.260 --> 01:20:13.920
me run the church. So she runs all the community stuff. And so

1007
01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:17.920
for the church, Jenny helps me run brilliant perspectives, you

1008
01:20:17.920 --> 01:20:20.680
know, Graham, and I run the School of Leadership. And then

1009
01:20:21.120 --> 01:20:26.200
Dio helps me run I 49 the edge. So when you go through all of

1010
01:20:26.200 --> 01:20:31.440
that, so for me, Mondays is my leadership day. So I will speak

1011
01:20:31.440 --> 01:20:36.600
to the leaders who are involved to Bridget, to I speak to

1012
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:39.600
Bridget anyway, but I'm talking about specifically about the

1013
01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:43.320
church. So just just just be really clear. We don't have

1014
01:20:43.320 --> 01:20:47.000
marriage issues. So and then of course, I meet with meet with

1015
01:20:47.040 --> 01:20:49.680
DIA and with Jenny and so forth. So that's what we end with

1016
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:53.000
Graham. So I meet with all four of those leaders on a Monday.

1017
01:20:53.240 --> 01:20:56.640
Now, I've got here what we call bucket one and bucket two. So

1018
01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:58.560
those of you who've been through this training, just bear with me

1019
01:20:58.560 --> 01:21:01.920
for those who haven't, a bucket is a four hours, think of it as

1020
01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:06.280
the morning and the afternoon, right? So you've really got, if

1021
01:21:06.280 --> 01:21:08.920
you think about it, you've only got 10 buckets in the week,

1022
01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:12.440
right. And the reason why we think of buckets and not hours

1023
01:21:12.440 --> 01:21:17.280
and half hours and all those other things is because the

1024
01:21:17.280 --> 01:21:21.360
second design element is group similar activities to reduce

1025
01:21:21.360 --> 01:21:24.800
switching costs. What do we mean by switching costs? So if

1026
01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:28.200
you think of what creates fatigue, at the end of your

1027
01:21:28.200 --> 01:21:33.720
business day, is when you keep switching from one task to

1028
01:21:33.720 --> 01:21:37.480
another, that are quite different. When you switch tasks

1029
01:21:37.480 --> 01:21:40.040
and they are materially enough different, what happens is it

1030
01:21:40.040 --> 01:21:43.120
takes your brain 20 to 40 minutes to fully switch up

1031
01:21:43.120 --> 01:21:46.600
although you've already started working on the new thing, your

1032
01:21:47.280 --> 01:21:52.840
brain takes a while to fully commit, it's like deep sleep. If

1033
01:21:52.840 --> 01:21:56.000
you're going to sleep, and then you hit that very deep sleep

1034
01:21:56.040 --> 01:21:59.720
stage, work is the same, you can hit deep work, that deep and

1035
01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:03.360
Cal Newport talks about that in his book, deep work. So it's the

1036
01:22:03.360 --> 01:22:06.680
same thing. If I wake you up every half an hour through the

1037
01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:09.320
night, said, how's your sleep going? How's your sleep going?

1038
01:22:09.320 --> 01:22:11.680
So what managers do to employees all the time? How's your work

1039
01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:13.480
going? How's your work going? Yeah, I'm doing what I'm

1040
01:22:13.480 --> 01:22:16.400
supposed to be doing. How's your work going? So when we do that,

1041
01:22:16.400 --> 01:22:20.600
what we do is we interrupt this process. If we allow, if we

1042
01:22:20.600 --> 01:22:23.520
batch stuff together that is similar, there's no switching

1043
01:22:23.520 --> 01:22:28.400
costs. The reason you feel tired and mentally fatigued at the end

1044
01:22:28.400 --> 01:22:31.240
of each day is because you were switching too many times in a

1045
01:22:31.240 --> 01:22:35.480
day. Go back and look, the days you were most exhausted were the

1046
01:22:35.480 --> 01:22:39.920
days you switched the most, almost always. The days that you

1047
01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:43.520
were able to really deeply concentrate on things. Here's

1048
01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:46.760
the thing, because you're in rest, and you're partnering with

1049
01:22:46.760 --> 01:22:50.480
the Lord, you don't have to worry about carrying everything

1050
01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:54.320
that allows you a new level of freedom in architecting your

1051
01:22:54.320 --> 01:22:57.800
week. So my bucket one, bucket two, morning, afternoon, if you

1052
01:22:57.800 --> 01:23:02.160
prefer, but I'm thinking them as a bucket of similar things. But

1053
01:23:02.160 --> 01:23:04.960
most people's buckets, they have holes in them, what is a hole in

1054
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:10.520
the bucket, emails, interruptions, whatever, keeps

1055
01:23:10.680 --> 01:23:13.520
cause all that switching. So when you're in a certain mode,

1056
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:16.360
you turn off your emails, you turn off your message, you turn

1057
01:23:16.360 --> 01:23:20.480
off everything else. And you allow yourself the joy of having

1058
01:23:20.480 --> 01:23:23.880
a protected focus time. So bucket one, I meet with the

1059
01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:26.560
leaders and I review with them the goals for the week, what are

1060
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:29.880
we doing? More precisely, I'm asking them, what's your big

1061
01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:31.960
goal for the week? And I'm expecting because they're all

1062
01:23:31.960 --> 01:23:35.040
kingdom leaders, I'm expecting them to tell me out of their

1063
01:23:35.040 --> 01:23:37.760
partnership with the Lord, what's the big thing for the

1064
01:23:37.760 --> 01:23:41.000
week? What's your big deliverable for the week? And

1065
01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:44.200
then the second part is Graham and I spent our time together

1066
01:23:44.200 --> 01:23:47.160
just doing content. So we create content, work on our theology,

1067
01:23:47.160 --> 01:23:51.080
work on a lot of you know, and that content, by the way, feeds

1068
01:23:51.080 --> 01:23:54.280
all the other elements of what we do. And the reason our whole

1069
01:23:54.320 --> 01:23:58.080
the reason why we have, however many eight people who can all

1070
01:23:58.080 --> 01:24:01.200
teach and coach and all that stuff at brilliant is because

1071
01:24:01.280 --> 01:24:04.040
that content is spread throughout, you don't get a

1072
01:24:04.040 --> 01:24:06.840
different thing. It's like if you go to one McDonald's or

1073
01:24:06.840 --> 01:24:09.360
another McDonald's, it's the same, you're going to get the

1074
01:24:09.360 --> 01:24:13.480
same burger, right? It's the same idea, that consistency is

1075
01:24:13.480 --> 01:24:17.360
really important to us. So how that how that language, those

1076
01:24:17.360 --> 01:24:20.120
concepts, those ideas, and it's not just Graham and I creating

1077
01:24:20.120 --> 01:24:22.920
the whole team is creating, but somebody has to put it all

1078
01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:26.760
together. On my Tuesdays, that's my school, the brilliant School

1079
01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:30.320
of Leadership, or BESOL, as we call it internally, for those of

1080
01:24:30.320 --> 01:24:33.680
you that are on BESOL, on the BESOL school. So that's the 40

1081
01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:38.160
week, once a one hour a week school. And that's Graham and I

1082
01:24:38.160 --> 01:24:41.160
together. And so we do the class one in the morning class two in

1083
01:24:41.160 --> 01:24:45.040
the in the afternoon, I do not schedule meetings, I try not to

1084
01:24:45.040 --> 01:24:49.520
schedule meetings on these days. And the reason is, if I schedule

1085
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:53.120
meetings right up, and I'm still in a switching cost mode, by the

1086
01:24:53.120 --> 01:24:57.160
time I start teaching the class, the class gets a raw deal. Like

1087
01:24:57.160 --> 01:24:59.840
even a perfect example, right?

1088
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.680
today's Wednesday obviously and afternoons in a circle and when it's once a month when it's not

1089
01:25:05.680 --> 01:25:10.800
that i'm trying to connect to the community or handling some of your sos calls just to remind

1090
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:15.040
you by the way when you sign up in a circle you get two free sos calls we can just hang out and

1091
01:25:15.040 --> 01:25:19.920
talk about whatever you want to talk about so we can do that so sometimes i'm doing that just

1092
01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:23.920
before i started this call half an hour before i started this call i got a call from one of the

1093
01:25:23.920 --> 01:25:28.800
other team members and you know and you want and it's a pretty important thing he wanted to discuss

1094
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:34.960
with me about some issue and i said dude i'm the only reason i'm answering this call is to let you

1095
01:25:34.960 --> 01:25:39.040
know i'm not ignoring you but i don't want to discuss anything i don't want you to switch my

1096
01:25:39.040 --> 01:25:44.640
mind out of the mode and i've been in this inner circle mode the whole day i got up early this

1097
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:50.000
morning i was with the lord early this morning i was talking about what he wanted what what was the

1098
01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:56.640
gift he wanted you to have and while i was thinking and talking about that i felt like i should invite

1099
01:25:56.640 --> 01:26:01.120
some guests which we have three guests on here for that reason all that came out of that

1100
01:26:01.120 --> 01:26:07.440
partnership and then of course d and i work on edge marketing on wednesdays thursdays is content

1101
01:26:07.440 --> 01:26:13.920
management i pull it all together we have automated tools and all the cool stuff we do to because we

1102
01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:20.080
record transcribe collate every single piece of document everything we do whether we're coaching

1103
01:26:20.080 --> 01:26:24.800
in the church or whether we're doing this or anything else everything gets tracked managed

1104
01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:29.600
and we have a management system for that and then we have church staff meeting in the afternoon

1105
01:26:29.600 --> 01:26:33.360
that's when we talk about the once a month gatherings we talk about small groups and how

1106
01:26:33.360 --> 01:26:37.840
they're going and we talk about coaching brilliant life coaching and everything else that goes on

1107
01:26:37.840 --> 01:26:43.840
there and then on fridays is my co-creation time with the lord remember i said i give one session

1108
01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:50.320
where the lord and i create new stuff together and so uh and then finally i i get on and i get

1109
01:26:50.320 --> 01:26:54.960
on the community app and i respond to people on the on the school of brilliant school of

1110
01:26:54.960 --> 01:27:01.840
leadership and i also do a little bit of of coaching one-on-one coaching that i do um and

1111
01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:07.120
that's so in this in this structure here is all the design elements set up a rhythm to your week

1112
01:27:07.120 --> 01:27:11.840
so think of wearing a different hat now switching costs is like switching hats all the time

1113
01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:16.560
if you're constantly switching hats from this to this to this to this so batch all the tasks

1114
01:27:16.560 --> 01:27:22.480
together my suggestion is do not start your morning with answering emails i know that's a

1115
01:27:22.480 --> 01:27:28.080
high temptation don't do that in fact do that at the end of the day or some dead spot or between

1116
01:27:28.080 --> 01:27:33.760
two buckets or something um that will really mess with that will really mess with the switching

1117
01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:39.920
costs for sure group similar activities together create margin between events it's always amazing

1118
01:27:39.920 --> 01:27:44.000
or between appointments it's always amazing to people be so oh my last meeting ran over

1119
01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:49.600
and when you i mean happening once i get that but when their last meeting's always running over

1120
01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:56.080
it's like um okay you know so if you ever on a call with with team brilliant you'll know three

1121
01:27:56.080 --> 01:28:00.800
minutes before and everybody's on and we're waiting and the meeting part starts at the

1122
01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:05.680
announced time not we don't start getting on at the hour and then it takes another three four

1123
01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:10.960
five minutes and hello can you hear me and all that stuff all that's gone so we get on the call

1124
01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:15.920
beforehand and we hit the meet and and it's so respectful to each other's time that if somebody

1125
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:20.560
got so into a deep work and they forgot and they weren't watching the time we're getting ready to

1126
01:28:20.560 --> 01:28:25.920
call 9-1-1 they must be dead on the side of the road it's already four minutes past the hour

1127
01:28:27.120 --> 01:28:32.880
because we have such a reputation that we don't do that that something else must be going on and

1128
01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:36.720
and some of us you know life happens we skip meetings because we weren't watching the time

1129
01:28:36.720 --> 01:28:42.560
but at least that's not our normal way and then you take appointments based on your buckets

1130
01:28:43.120 --> 01:28:48.480
so you group appointments together and then you tell your your ea if you have one or your

1131
01:28:48.480 --> 01:28:54.480
virtual assistant or whatever to set aside the same time each week for appointments what you do

1132
01:28:54.480 --> 01:28:59.920
not want to do is just have appointments spread and just nilly-willy throughout the week that's

1133
01:28:59.920 --> 01:29:07.040
the last thing you want that will just literally destroy your ability to get any deep work done

1134
01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:11.680
so and then with your appointments make sure there's a gap between them even if it's 10 minutes

1135
01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:18.560
so that's my suggestion thoughts ideas to share some let me ask you to share some of your

1136
01:29:19.280 --> 01:29:26.080
best practices and stuff you do let me hear from you guys i was putting it into the chat this is a

1137
01:29:26.080 --> 01:29:31.920
very been awesome session but one just very technical tactic that has helped us with the

1138
01:29:31.920 --> 01:29:36.800
perfect week or kind of once you've got these buckets it's just we created like a separate

1139
01:29:36.800 --> 01:29:42.560
google calendar called bruce's perfect week template and so we could just toggle it on and

1140
01:29:42.560 --> 01:29:46.560
off when we're looking at our calendars and so that way it's always like right there when you're

1141
01:29:46.560 --> 01:29:52.160
scheduling it was just a really simple hack but it made a huge difference for us oh that's a great

1142
01:29:52.160 --> 01:29:58.000
idea so you you set up a google template and then you can you can map your week against it is that

1143
01:29:58.000 --> 01:29:59.040
the idea

1144
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.000
Yeah.

1145
01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:02.000
Exactly.

1146
01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:03.000
Yeah.

1147
01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:04.000
Yeah.

1148
01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:05.000
And we just color coded.

1149
01:30:05.000 --> 01:30:06.000
So it's all gray.

1150
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:07.000
So it just kind of looks like a template.

1151
01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:11.120
So if you're curious, like the, you know, between my EA or myself and I'm looking at

1152
01:30:11.120 --> 01:30:16.920
it because you kind of forget, or I make exceptions, like if, if a client calls or they want to

1153
01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:21.200
schedule something, I kind of use that back as my reference point as like, just to be

1154
01:30:21.200 --> 01:30:24.000
able to toggle it on and off.

1155
01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:25.000
Yeah.

1156
01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:26.000
Very good.

1157
01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:27.000
Very good.

1158
01:30:27.000 --> 01:30:28.000
Yeah.

1159
01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:29.000
Yeah.

1160
01:30:29.000 --> 01:30:34.880
Any other great hacks or thoughts, Glenn, I know you've had to, you've been a scheduling

1161
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:41.320
maestro until recently, not because you lost the skill, but because you changed jobs.

1162
01:30:41.320 --> 01:30:42.320
That's right.

1163
01:30:42.320 --> 01:30:49.240
There's so much there, but I think the whole concept of fire meetings, you know, focus

1164
01:30:49.240 --> 01:30:55.560
support with two perspectives that, you know, that you've, you've told them before, I think

1165
01:30:55.560 --> 01:30:56.560
that really is, that really is key.

1166
01:30:56.560 --> 01:31:05.040
One of the challenges that I've faced in that is, is in how to scale that across a large

1167
01:31:05.040 --> 01:31:11.800
organization where you don't necessarily have that ability to kind of define the structure.

1168
01:31:11.800 --> 01:31:17.760
So we had to find ways that within teams and give permission for, for, you know, really

1169
01:31:17.760 --> 01:31:26.400
give that, almost that, that, that five star permission to each of the participants.

1170
01:31:26.400 --> 01:31:33.280
So that what that means is they, that we say from a leadership point of view, you have,

1171
01:31:33.280 --> 01:31:38.360
you have permission to manage, you know, and we teach them, so this is how it should be.

1172
01:31:38.360 --> 01:31:45.400
Then you have permission to decline any meeting that is not within, if that's in your deepest,

1173
01:31:45.400 --> 01:31:49.720
we are telling you, not only do you have permission, we ask you to please decline this meeting.

1174
01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:53.160
It doesn't matter if it came from you or from anyone else, decline that meeting.

1175
01:31:53.160 --> 01:31:57.760
Because until you start to force that, you can't strip the culture of the organization.

1176
01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:03.320
And the moment that you start peppering in these meetings in, and it's a whole manager,

1177
01:32:03.320 --> 01:32:06.400
you know, make a best or deeper thing.

1178
01:32:06.400 --> 01:32:11.880
The problem is, is that, you know, the more senior the people, the more junior folk in

1179
01:32:11.880 --> 01:32:15.960
the organization feel obligated to take the meeting, and you can just blow up everybody's

1180
01:32:15.960 --> 01:32:24.880
calendars and it becomes incredibly inefficient that the total amount of lost productivity.

1181
01:32:24.880 --> 01:32:29.520
I wish there was that we could actually find the proper research on that maybe Dion you've

1182
01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:30.520
come across it.

1183
01:32:30.520 --> 01:32:34.880
But I've got to, I've got to imagine there must be some something in order of a 30% improvement

1184
01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:41.880
in productivity that could be achieved by putting these disciplines in place in an organization.

1185
01:32:41.880 --> 01:32:42.880
Yeah, that's true.

1186
01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:46.480
I mean, I don't know anyone do more meetings than you.

1187
01:32:46.480 --> 01:32:52.080
In my career, I don't know anyone, I know you had several thousand people in your area.

1188
01:32:52.080 --> 01:32:57.280
And we've talked so much about this, you know, I mean, I don't know that when you had 40-50

1189
01:32:57.280 --> 01:33:00.560
meetings in a week, and then that was only about a third of the ones you were invited

1190
01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:03.160
to this idea of giving permission.

1191
01:33:03.160 --> 01:33:06.600
But it has to start as a kingdom leader permission for yourself.

1192
01:33:06.600 --> 01:33:11.960
If you do the three things we talked about today, and you protect number ones, and you

1193
01:33:11.960 --> 01:33:18.200
batch stuff together, and you get rid of fours, and you start improving threes.

1194
01:33:18.200 --> 01:33:22.680
And you put this simple structure together, I'd be shocked if you don't double your productivity

1195
01:33:22.680 --> 01:33:24.440
in a week, seriously.

1196
01:33:24.440 --> 01:33:28.880
So my goal was always to do a month's worth of work in a week.

1197
01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:32.040
And I felt that I achieved that a little while ago.

1198
01:33:32.040 --> 01:33:37.280
But what I've really found is that the more restful I become, the more I do.

1199
01:33:37.280 --> 01:33:38.600
It's the craziest thing.

1200
01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:42.720
It's like you end up that light speed thing kicks in the largest.

1201
01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:46.800
Now, Bruce, I think you dropped something earlier in the chat here about the thing called

1202
01:33:46.800 --> 01:33:47.920
I didn't call it that.

1203
01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:53.440
But I think there's one of the productivity gurus calls it the rainbow calendar.

1204
01:33:53.440 --> 01:33:56.480
Now the idea of a rain anybody know about the rainbow calendar?

1205
01:33:56.480 --> 01:33:57.480
Yeah, yeah.

1206
01:33:57.480 --> 01:34:04.440
So what the rainbow calendar idea is, is that you allocate every hour of the day.

1207
01:34:04.440 --> 01:34:07.680
Even if it's I'm going to take a nap, I'm going to do a walk, it doesn't matter what.

1208
01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:11.000
And the reason is you give every hour a name, right?

1209
01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:14.760
So if you do, you got your bucket one, and in that bucket, you're trying to group all

1210
01:34:14.760 --> 01:34:16.640
that similar stuff in the same bucket.

1211
01:34:16.640 --> 01:34:19.360
So they're all similar stuff to get rid of switching costs.

1212
01:34:19.360 --> 01:34:21.480
But you also want to take breaks or whatever.

1213
01:34:21.480 --> 01:34:26.800
So what happens is, if you showed me your calendar, there should be no gaps.

1214
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:28.560
Because that means you've allocated.

1215
01:34:28.560 --> 01:34:33.120
And I find that the refinement of that happens early in the morning, you can do it early,

1216
01:34:33.120 --> 01:34:34.960
you can start the week off.

1217
01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:39.600
And what I do is I start the week off with the ideal big map things.

1218
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:44.600
And then each day I start, you know, I start to prioritize based on what the Lord said.

1219
01:34:44.600 --> 01:34:49.240
So if he said, today, we're doing this, then I prioritize that if you're doing the Q system,

1220
01:34:49.240 --> 01:34:52.580
I would circle those those Q elements.

1221
01:34:52.580 --> 01:34:54.040
So you know, in your Q book.

1222
01:34:54.040 --> 01:34:56.920
So that's, that's the way we do that.

1223
01:34:56.920 --> 01:34:59.120
So to me.

1224
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:04.480
Any other thoughts? Anybody thinking like, man, I need help with all this.

1225
01:35:06.640 --> 01:35:12.880
I'm not very good. The week happens to me. I don't happen to my week. Anybody feels like

1226
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:16.560
they need help, we can take a minute and do a little bit of help or laser coaching.

1227
01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:22.400
I think Glenna has something to contribute.

1228
01:35:22.400 --> 01:35:28.080
Yeah, I just wanted to add one other thing, Dion, as a lesson learned. We went through this

1229
01:35:28.160 --> 01:35:33.200
exercise of teaching deep work inside of our organization. We said, yeah, this is awesome.

1230
01:35:34.960 --> 01:35:42.080
The guys started putting two deep work sessions a day on the calendar. Do not try that. Don't

1231
01:35:42.080 --> 01:35:45.680
do that. Because what happens is you immediately don't make space for everything else that needs

1232
01:35:45.680 --> 01:35:50.320
to happen, other types of work that needs to get done. At the moment that that is not protected

1233
01:35:50.320 --> 01:35:55.120
and preserved, it's going to unravel. Therefore, then if you don't have one deep work session

1234
01:35:55.120 --> 01:36:00.000
that's really meaningful, you try to do all of these 10 or 15, it just doesn't work.

1235
01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:07.840
So then nothing works. The whole thing is just a false flat. The thing would be to start with one,

1236
01:36:07.840 --> 01:36:15.360
get that thing down and make it immovable. Then if you can fit another, that's awesome,

1237
01:36:15.360 --> 01:36:19.840
but don't try and just put everything on the calendar.

1238
01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:22.160
Jenny, thanks, Glenna.

1239
01:36:23.120 --> 01:36:28.880
Yes. Can you speak to when there are different modes in the business? We've often talked about

1240
01:36:28.880 --> 01:36:35.760
times of innovation or steady state. What happens to your scheduling and your calendar

1241
01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:40.160
when you're innovating and things are turning around, you're pivoting quickly? If you could

1242
01:36:40.160 --> 01:36:49.680
just speak to that. Yeah. This is a little more of an advanced topic, but a great question,

1243
01:36:49.760 --> 01:36:55.600
because what you're bringing up here, Jenny, is that when your business is in a more steady state

1244
01:36:55.600 --> 01:36:59.760
condition, in other words, you're not pivoting, developing a whole new division,

1245
01:37:01.360 --> 01:37:05.840
bringing in a brand new product to the market, and it's all hands on deck and so forth.

1246
01:37:05.840 --> 01:37:13.120
A lot of times the systems and the training that you're putting in place during steady

1247
01:37:13.200 --> 01:37:19.360
state times all go out of the window. What happens is this new crisis, spontaneous,

1248
01:37:19.920 --> 01:37:24.400
it's like you're in the lab, you're trying this, it blows up, you're trying this, it blows up,

1249
01:37:24.400 --> 01:37:32.880
but you're in that experimentation mode. The issues are that you have to acknowledge

1250
01:37:32.880 --> 01:37:37.280
as the leader that that is normal. You have to give permission, look for the next three weeks,

1251
01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:43.920
you may not get any deep work time, it might be being very responsive to each other.

1252
01:37:45.200 --> 01:37:50.800
So let's talk about the antithesis of that. I found that if you as a leader must give your

1253
01:37:52.240 --> 01:37:58.880
team permission, and it's the same permission you have to restrain yourself to, and that is,

1254
01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:05.200
we call it the one bucket response time. You only have to respond within one bucket. The idea that

1255
01:38:05.200 --> 01:38:11.760
we jump on Slack and seconds later somebody responds, I either got really lucky in that moment

1256
01:38:11.760 --> 01:38:16.880
that they happened to be working on that, but if they're always doing that on Slack, and they're

1257
01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:21.440
always texting back, and they're always, I just want to show you the boss, I'm really responsive.

1258
01:38:21.440 --> 01:38:26.720
No, all you showed me is you're chaotic. You just show you live a very highly interrupted life,

1259
01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:31.760
and I need to help you. Which means as a leader, that means I ask something for someone, and then

1260
01:38:31.760 --> 01:38:35.680
I have to wait a bucket. I have to wait four hours. I have to wait till the next bucket to get

1261
01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:41.440
a response. I can't be on top of their case. So you have to talk, you have to have a breakthrough

1262
01:38:41.440 --> 01:38:45.920
mechanism that you can break through the system if there's an emergency. So we use text for that.

1263
01:38:46.480 --> 01:38:51.360
But guess how long it takes before people start texting you anyway? Because they got a super quick

1264
01:38:51.360 --> 01:38:55.440
response on text, because that's the crisis mode, then people start texting. So I've constantly got

1265
01:38:55.440 --> 01:39:00.880
to remind team members, don't text me, don't text me, don't text me. The other way is if you call

1266
01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:05.200
twice in a row, I will answer your call no matter what I'm doing, unless I'm training,

1267
01:39:05.200 --> 01:39:09.440
you know, doing a training session. I will take your call. Even if I'm in a meeting, I will take

1268
01:39:09.440 --> 01:39:15.280
your call. But don't call twice in a row and say, I'm looking for that document that, I'm like,

1269
01:39:16.160 --> 01:39:24.160
that's not a crisis. That's just you being chaotic. So that's the, that I give away,

1270
01:39:24.160 --> 01:39:29.840
Bridget's love, because that's my favorite thing in the world. Keep asking me the same question over

1271
01:39:29.840 --> 01:39:34.720
and over. And if you can make it more trivial and keep asking, man, that just grows my faith

1272
01:39:34.720 --> 01:39:39.520
and patience in the Lord. I get to practice patience at a whole new level. Take me up to,

1273
01:39:39.520 --> 01:39:46.960
take me up a level. So, so here's some power hacks. I'm focusing on finding delighted work.

1274
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:52.720
So in the app, there's finding delighted work. This is something you want, that little exercise

1275
01:39:52.720 --> 01:39:57.440
we did with delight versus contribution, joy versus contribution. It's called the joy table.

1276
01:39:57.440 --> 01:39:59.760
Get your team to do this.

1277
01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:04.000
The reason is when they get to do it, you'll end up with a fantastic

1278
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:08.720
conversation because you can teach them to delete certain things, right? Stop

1279
01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:14.200
optimizing things that shouldn't exist. Stop optimizing things that should be

1280
01:40:14.200 --> 01:40:19.200
deleted, right? SpaceX calls it the algorithm. We can get into that, how to

1281
01:40:19.200 --> 01:40:25.720
make things less dumb. So the idea, so you know, teach your team what can you delete,

1282
01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:30.520
what can you delegate, what can you automate. Those simple three things will

1283
01:40:30.520 --> 01:40:36.440
will shift stuff around on that joy table for them. Maybe we need an EA. So

1284
01:40:36.440 --> 01:40:40.880
so you know when, Jeremy, when you were talking about your your category 3

1285
01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:45.600
stuff, you know, that you were talking about earlier, what you might find is if

1286
01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:49.240
you did the joy table one of your team members, you could free them up to do

1287
01:40:49.240 --> 01:40:54.280
something that take on that level 3, but then get them a VA, which will give them

1288
01:40:54.280 --> 01:40:57.600
more delight, brings more joy to them, brings up certainly more joy to you,

1289
01:40:57.600 --> 01:41:02.760
frees you up, now you're in the game. So it's this, it's these tiny little shifts

1290
01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:07.360
in the organization that just, you know, people often say to us, how did you get

1291
01:41:07.360 --> 01:41:12.960
500% productivity improvement at Brilliant with half the size of the team?

1292
01:41:12.960 --> 01:41:18.680
How did, how did you do that? Here's the trick, we didn't try to do that. What we

1293
01:41:18.680 --> 01:41:24.040
did is, it's these tiny small adjustments, mindsets, giving your team permission,

1294
01:41:24.280 --> 01:41:29.400
and just constantly Kaizen, constantly improving, improving, improving, but the

1295
01:41:29.400 --> 01:41:33.560
key is invest in the people, not the processes. People first, let the people

1296
01:41:33.560 --> 01:41:38.400
create the processes, teach them how, then if you suddenly have to pivot, they can

1297
01:41:38.400 --> 01:41:42.000
do that. They are the ones who made the process, they can pivot. And it's these

1298
01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:46.120
little conversations. And then I think Ben, you and I had this one conversation

1299
01:41:46.120 --> 01:41:51.200
once when you talked about this and said, how much training time should I do? You

1300
01:41:51.320 --> 01:41:56.000
know, and my answer to that was a lot. You spend a lot of your time as the primary

1301
01:41:56.000 --> 01:42:01.360
coach, because think of leadership metaphor as the conductor of the

1302
01:42:01.360 --> 01:42:06.480
orchestra, not the primary player of the big musical instruments. But how many

1303
01:42:06.480 --> 01:42:09.640
leaders are playing the violin, then rush over, hit the drum, then rush over

1304
01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:13.120
and then do the, that's not an orchestra. That's just you running around trying to

1305
01:42:13.120 --> 01:42:17.240
play all the instruments because nobody does it better than you. Yeah, you know

1306
01:42:17.280 --> 01:42:22.040
what you don't do better with is everybody playing at the same time. So

1307
01:42:22.040 --> 01:42:25.600
that's what you don't do better at. So here's the thing. That means as the

1308
01:42:25.600 --> 01:42:29.960
conductor of the orchestra, you're the only musician who doesn't make a sound.

1309
01:42:30.440 --> 01:42:35.000
You become successful by making other people powerful. That is kingdom

1310
01:42:35.000 --> 01:42:40.400
leadership. So from your viewpoint, when you're thinking about this, think this

1311
01:42:40.400 --> 01:42:46.400
through in this way. What can I do to make this person more powerful? Take that

1312
01:42:46.400 --> 01:42:51.160
little joy table, make them draw it up. You'll have a great conversation. And by

1313
01:42:51.160 --> 01:42:54.400
the way, if you pick two people a week or three people a week, if you have a

1314
01:42:54.400 --> 01:42:57.360
bigger team, just work through them slowly. You don't have to do them all at

1315
01:42:57.360 --> 01:43:01.600
once. Just work through it slowly with them. You'll be astounded at how much you

1316
01:43:01.600 --> 01:43:05.920
release them. By the way, just showing them the attention and even just showing

1317
01:43:05.920 --> 01:43:10.760
the kindness of the conversation has an effect. That has an immediate lift right

1318
01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:15.840
there. So Ben, I wanted to know, I know we've talked a lot about you being the

1319
01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:22.200
coach in your team. How's that grown for you? Or how's that going? What have

1320
01:43:22.200 --> 01:43:25.800
you learned in that process, would you say? What's been effective for you?

1321
01:43:27.840 --> 01:43:33.920
I think trying to protect the time. I mean, to be honest, I probably need to be

1322
01:43:33.920 --> 01:43:42.400
more intentional still. Even this exercise, I mean, I think it's a good way

1323
01:43:42.400 --> 01:43:48.480
for me to do that. I probably don't get enough time one on one with them still.

1324
01:43:49.480 --> 01:43:55.960
Yeah. Yeah, coach, be the primary coach. Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah. So Jack Welch,

1325
01:43:56.080 --> 01:43:59.080
at the time, I know there's been a lot of stuff around Jack Welch. But at the

1326
01:43:59.080 --> 01:44:02.640
time, many people thought he was one of the greatest CEOs of the 20th century.

1327
01:44:02.640 --> 01:44:10.240
And he, he spent 70%, 70% of his time training. So don't think it's a little

1328
01:44:10.240 --> 01:44:15.280
sideshow thing. It's not. You invest in your people, you'll get to a point where

1329
01:44:15.280 --> 01:44:20.560
they'll run the business for you. But if you always have to run the business,

1330
01:44:21.600 --> 01:44:24.920
some point, you have to stop being the expert and manage the expert. That's a

1331
01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:28.760
tough transition, man. I remember when I love software programming, when I had to

1332
01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:33.160
stop writing code and manage people who wrote code. That was a that was a big

1333
01:44:33.160 --> 01:44:37.680
shift. I remember that day. That was a that was a tough decision. Because I

1334
01:44:37.680 --> 01:44:40.920
don't want to be a manager, I want to write code. You know, some point, you

1335
01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:45.360
have to stop being the expert, manage the expert, but not just managing them,

1336
01:44:45.360 --> 01:44:49.680
but setting them free with these ideas and these tools. Because everything we're

1337
01:44:49.680 --> 01:44:56.600
talking about is designed to build people, not use people. We grow people,

1338
01:44:56.600 --> 01:44:57.560
we don't use them.

1339
01:44:59.480 --> 01:44:59.960
Just like

1340
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:05.000
Lord doesn't use you because you're, okay.

1341
01:45:05.560 --> 01:45:08.600
I think, yeah, I think Jonathan,

1342
01:45:08.600 --> 01:45:10.700
you mentioned over the weekend,

1343
01:45:10.700 --> 01:45:11.640
you were talking about, you know,

1344
01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:13.840
people trying to be a good Christian.

1345
01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:15.200
And I said, don't be a good Christian.

1346
01:45:15.200 --> 01:45:16.320
Jesus wasn't one.

1347
01:45:17.240 --> 01:45:19.840
He was a son, you know,

1348
01:45:19.840 --> 01:45:21.400
it's time to become sons and daughters

1349
01:45:21.400 --> 01:45:23.600
and stop trying to be good Christians

1350
01:45:23.600 --> 01:45:26.040
because that's just a downstairs performance thing.

1351
01:45:26.040 --> 01:45:29.940
You know, so liberating this stuff, right?

1352
01:45:29.940 --> 01:45:31.700
So Jonathan, I'm going to give you

1353
01:45:33.060 --> 01:45:34.500
any questions you want to ask.

1354
01:45:34.500 --> 01:45:36.780
I know for you guys, a little bit sipping from the fire hose

1355
01:45:36.780 --> 01:45:38.220
cause you've kind of come in midstream,

1356
01:45:38.220 --> 01:45:40.540
but it was been great to have you.

1357
01:45:41.500 --> 01:45:43.940
Any thoughts, questions, inputs?

1358
01:45:43.940 --> 01:45:45.580
Yeah, thank you so much for having us.

1359
01:45:45.580 --> 01:45:47.000
So last minute, I think we got the invite,

1360
01:45:47.000 --> 01:45:48.540
what an hour before this meeting.

1361
01:45:48.540 --> 01:45:49.980
I know ample time to prepare.

1362
01:45:52.380 --> 01:45:53.980
No, it's so good.

1363
01:45:53.980 --> 01:45:57.180
All of these tools, I think I have at one time

1364
01:45:57.180 --> 01:45:59.800
or the other been made aware of.

1365
01:46:00.660 --> 01:46:04.560
I think oftentimes the actual implementation of it,

1366
01:46:04.560 --> 01:46:06.800
I'm just reminded today of, no, you got to do it.

1367
01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:08.940
And you got to get it all the way to the end

1368
01:46:08.940 --> 01:46:10.480
where you're implemented,

1369
01:46:10.480 --> 01:46:14.040
because I find sometimes I get stuck in the in-between

1370
01:46:14.040 --> 01:46:15.440
where I have an idea and then I'm like,

1371
01:46:15.440 --> 01:46:17.200
I get too busy or get distracted.

1372
01:46:17.200 --> 01:46:19.000
And then I don't get to these core principles

1373
01:46:19.000 --> 01:46:21.800
that will not only help me, but help the rest of the team.

1374
01:46:21.800 --> 01:46:24.800
So I'm very encouraged today.

1375
01:46:24.800 --> 01:46:27.840
I've learned a lot, reminded a lot of a lot, actually.

1376
01:46:27.840 --> 01:46:30.080
I think it's the reprioritization.

1377
01:46:30.080 --> 01:46:30.920
We're in a pivot.

1378
01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:33.000
So our normal business is,

1379
01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:34.600
it's like we're in one of those hard times

1380
01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:37.300
where there's a little bit more formation

1381
01:46:37.300 --> 01:46:39.720
than running the operation.

1382
01:46:39.720 --> 01:46:41.600
And so on many fronts,

1383
01:46:41.600 --> 01:46:44.360
so that's been a challenging season,

1384
01:46:44.360 --> 01:46:48.400
but I see us by implementing these tools now

1385
01:46:48.400 --> 01:46:50.560
with even the team members that we have now,

1386
01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:55.160
we can build something so much better for ourselves

1387
01:46:55.160 --> 01:46:56.000
and then for others.

1388
01:46:56.000 --> 01:46:58.880
And I feel like I'm grateful to have this insight

1389
01:46:58.880 --> 01:46:59.720
even in this meeting,

1390
01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:01.600
because I'm realizing how much I need this

1391
01:47:01.600 --> 01:47:03.520
and then I can help others do this.

1392
01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:05.280
I can't teach or train others

1393
01:47:05.280 --> 01:47:07.600
if I'm not implementing it myself.

1394
01:47:07.600 --> 01:47:10.000
Yeah, you know, you raise a great point, Jonathan,

1395
01:47:10.000 --> 01:47:14.400
and that is nothing we're saying is new in that sense.

1396
01:47:14.400 --> 01:47:17.480
And in fact, mostly we try to quote the sources

1397
01:47:17.480 --> 01:47:19.000
and where we get the things from,

1398
01:47:19.000 --> 01:47:21.800
with Greg McKinn's book on effortless or whatever.

1399
01:47:21.800 --> 01:47:24.000
And here's the thing, we as leaders, we read this stuff

1400
01:47:24.000 --> 01:47:25.080
and we go, that's a great idea.

1401
01:47:25.080 --> 01:47:27.240
And we might try one or two of the things,

1402
01:47:27.240 --> 01:47:30.840
but we haven't made it into a unified system

1403
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:34.320
that becomes culturalized.

1404
01:47:34.320 --> 01:47:36.800
We haven't given permission to ourselves first

1405
01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:39.640
and then to our team for this to become culturalized.

1406
01:47:39.640 --> 01:47:42.000
Because I think when you culturalize it,

1407
01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:43.560
if we're all doing this,

1408
01:47:43.560 --> 01:47:45.880
if we all having moments we knock off four hours

1409
01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:48.800
and it's okay because the CEO said it's okay

1410
01:47:48.800 --> 01:47:50.920
and they themselves are doing it,

1411
01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:52.520
that's when the shift happens.

1412
01:47:52.520 --> 01:47:56.000
The conceptualization is not where the shift happens,

1413
01:47:56.000 --> 01:47:57.200
as you say.

1414
01:47:57.200 --> 01:47:59.160
So I think that is the issue.

1415
01:47:59.160 --> 01:48:02.280
The issue is the courage to lead the team.

1416
01:48:02.280 --> 01:48:04.120
You lead yourself and lead your team there.

1417
01:48:04.120 --> 01:48:06.720
So thanks for sharing that.

1418
01:48:06.720 --> 01:48:07.560
I appreciate that.

1419
01:48:07.560 --> 01:48:10.000
Is anyone else in a reinvention mode

1420
01:48:10.000 --> 01:48:11.080
that Jonathan mentioned?

1421
01:48:11.080 --> 01:48:14.200
Reinventing, reinventing a business,

1422
01:48:14.200 --> 01:48:16.280
or inventing a business or reinventing.

1423
01:48:16.280 --> 01:48:19.520
Anybody else in that mode besides, yeah.

1424
01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:21.760
Okay, there you go.

1425
01:48:21.760 --> 01:48:22.800
Several, okay.

1426
01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:26.320
So there are at least four hands up went up there.

1427
01:48:26.320 --> 01:48:28.320
I know, I think I know all your stories.

1428
01:48:28.320 --> 01:48:31.240
I think it's probably a little more than four.

1429
01:48:31.240 --> 01:48:33.440
And I know one or two people who aren't on the call

1430
01:48:33.440 --> 01:48:35.520
are definitely in a reinvention mode.

1431
01:48:37.440 --> 01:48:39.440
Maybe we should tackle that next month.

1432
01:48:42.640 --> 01:48:45.680
Why do we hit these moments of complete reinvention?

1433
01:48:45.680 --> 01:48:49.880
And what are the, how does the Lord wanna be?

1434
01:48:49.920 --> 01:48:52.360
Who does he wanna be for us?

1435
01:48:52.360 --> 01:48:54.880
And I know that he wants in those moments,

1436
01:48:56.200 --> 01:48:57.760
sure he wants to be your innovation,

1437
01:48:57.760 --> 01:49:00.400
but he also wants to be your protector.

1438
01:49:00.400 --> 01:49:03.200
He wants to protect you and your provider.

1439
01:49:03.200 --> 01:49:04.840
Because in those moments,

1440
01:49:04.840 --> 01:49:07.520
you don't have the consistency of income.

1441
01:49:07.520 --> 01:49:11.320
You don't know how to focus the team.

1442
01:49:11.320 --> 01:49:14.040
You don't know which product to work on next.

1443
01:49:14.040 --> 01:49:15.480
It's just a mess.

1444
01:49:16.760 --> 01:49:18.800
At least it looks like one.

1445
01:49:18.800 --> 01:49:21.920
So this is why I brought up permission

1446
01:49:21.920 --> 01:49:25.520
because the permission takes all that other stuff away

1447
01:49:25.520 --> 01:49:27.440
and you focus on the one thing.

1448
01:49:27.440 --> 01:49:29.360
Paul said, this one thing I do in the church

1449
01:49:29.360 --> 01:49:31.600
is these 30 things we do in our program,

1450
01:49:33.400 --> 01:49:34.480
not to knock the church,

1451
01:49:34.480 --> 01:49:38.520
but it's not always been the most focused of environments

1452
01:49:38.520 --> 01:49:39.760
that I've been in.

1453
01:49:39.760 --> 01:49:44.320
So, but the church is changing and for kingdom.

1454
01:49:44.320 --> 01:49:45.760
So as we wrap up here,

1455
01:49:45.760 --> 01:49:47.840
I'd love to take, just do a quick spin around,

1456
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:51.440
give everybody a one minute on,

1457
01:49:51.440 --> 01:49:53.200
what was your takeaway today?

1458
01:49:53.200 --> 01:49:55.120
What do you feel like the Lord gave you?

1459
01:49:55.120 --> 01:49:56.920
So Jenny, why don't you kick it off

1460
01:49:56.920 --> 01:50:00.160
and then we'll go from Jenny, dear Glenn.

1461
01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:07.120
Glenn Hobbs, yeah. Not Ben, Glenn. Go, Jenny.

1462
01:50:07.120 --> 01:50:12.880
Yes. So I think that for me, the takeaway is what we talked about in the beginning of

1463
01:50:12.880 --> 01:50:17.160
the call is the hearing, learning, and the becoming, and how you are at the different

1464
01:50:17.160 --> 01:50:21.680
states and what that affords you when you're in the hearing state versus the learning state,

1465
01:50:21.680 --> 01:50:26.760
and then the becoming state, and how that translates to your team and how you translate

1466
01:50:26.760 --> 01:50:35.160
to that team. And then secondly, implementing the joy table on a regular basis with the

1467
01:50:35.160 --> 01:50:38.960
team. So those are my two takeaways.

1468
01:50:38.960 --> 01:50:40.800
Excellent. Dia?

1469
01:50:40.800 --> 01:50:48.280
Yeah, I think for me, just these things are, they redirect our course again and again and

1470
01:50:48.280 --> 01:50:52.920
again. If you're sailing in a boat, you're headed on target, right? But it's always meandering

1471
01:50:52.920 --> 01:50:56.400
off course and you have to redirect. And I think it's so helpful to have the reminder

1472
01:50:56.400 --> 01:51:01.760
again to work from rest, to work from permission, work from those places. And then as many times

1473
01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:07.120
as I've done the joy table, I know I need to do it again and again, because things get

1474
01:51:07.120 --> 01:51:11.760
squirrely and there's just needs and there's demands, especially in times of pivot for

1475
01:51:11.760 --> 01:51:15.960
new projects. And so having that as a constant refresher, I'm definitely going to be doing

1476
01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:19.480
that again this week because yeah, it's always needed.

1477
01:51:19.960 --> 01:51:23.000
We'll go from Glenn to Emily, then to Jeremy.

1478
01:51:23.920 --> 01:51:31.400
Yeah, I think for me, permission is very much the focus right now. I have a list of

1479
01:51:32.840 --> 01:51:38.160
multiple things on my sheet of paper saying, okay, Lord, which is the one here we're working

1480
01:51:38.160 --> 01:51:45.040
on now? And to the Lord, he pointed to something else that wasn't on my list, but that's fine.

1481
01:51:45.600 --> 01:51:50.720
That's the area that I'm really focused on right now. I really appreciate the encouragement

1482
01:51:50.720 --> 01:51:56.320
you're on team on just in that framework that you put together with just that role of it

1483
01:51:56.320 --> 01:52:00.400
all starts with that permission. And from there it flows down. So thank you.

1484
01:52:00.400 --> 01:52:01.680
Excellent. Emily.

1485
01:52:02.400 --> 01:52:08.080
Yeah, so for me, practicing resting with Holy Spirit in a secular environment, you know,

1486
01:52:08.080 --> 01:52:12.960
because I'm, it's different because you've got kingdom companies and you're practicing this,

1487
01:52:12.960 --> 01:52:18.800
but I'm in a big secular, like Daniel in Babylon type of deal. And I love it because

1488
01:52:19.600 --> 01:52:28.160
even this last month I've been having tests and passing them on practicing resting with

1489
01:52:28.160 --> 01:52:33.200
Holy Spirit and responding to his nature. And then all of the technicality and practices of

1490
01:52:33.200 --> 01:52:40.240
what we talked today flow in that accelerated space and, you know, just being able to explore

1491
01:52:40.240 --> 01:52:47.200
and have that safe space with Jesus and his grace in this place. So yeah, that would be mine.

1492
01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:53.520
Yeah, no, that's great. Jeremy. Now we'll go to Ben and then Tamara.

1493
01:52:55.520 --> 01:53:01.280
This has all been very timely for me. So I'm just so ecstatic about it because I've been

1494
01:53:01.280 --> 01:53:06.960
trying to figure out, I've been knowing what my problem is and that I'm too reactive and

1495
01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:13.840
I've got my cue book, you know, but I'm going into my emails periodically. I'm getting in these

1496
01:53:13.840 --> 01:53:19.680
whirlwinds. I'm dealing with stuff coming at me. I'm not guarding those, you know, times that I'm,

1497
01:53:19.680 --> 01:53:25.600
even when I am being intentional about doing my focus sessions and I need to, I never get to the

1498
01:53:25.600 --> 01:53:31.440
dang deep work sessions, you know, and it's like, there's just so many things. So I'm,

1499
01:53:32.480 --> 01:53:36.720
this has just been really helpful for me. I'm seeing what I need to do and now I need to just

1500
01:53:36.720 --> 01:53:41.840
execute and it's going to be a game changer for me. So this has all been super helpful and the

1501
01:53:41.840 --> 01:53:47.600
restfulness, you know, light speed, you know, not carrying the load. That's just killing me. So.

1502
01:53:48.400 --> 01:53:50.240
Good for you. Hey, Ben.

1503
01:53:53.120 --> 01:54:01.200
Yeah. So I think, and I love the questions we started with and I think the, got an invitation.

1504
01:54:01.200 --> 01:54:06.640
I need to look again at designing what the perfect week looks like for my partnership with Jesus.

1505
01:54:07.680 --> 01:54:15.520
I feel like we have just an endless number of possibilities. Like there's lots of directions

1506
01:54:16.320 --> 01:54:24.960
and there's lots of opportunities and awesome things, but I really need to hear from the Lord

1507
01:54:24.960 --> 01:54:31.600
about what my permission is. So that was, that was my big deal. I can't wait to hear from Him.

1508
01:54:32.400 --> 01:54:38.640
Yeah. That's huge. Yeah. After Tamara, Todd, let's go to Nathaniel and then Jonathan.

1509
01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:45.760
Yeah. Thank you so much for inviting us to this today. I'm just, I'm literally in tears over here

1510
01:54:47.040 --> 01:54:53.520
half the time because it's just resonating so deeply with what God has been showing, showing

1511
01:54:53.520 --> 01:54:59.760
me. And so I'm so grateful to have this kind of like reinforcement and that I feel like.

1512
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:01.820
God is giving the permission.

1513
01:55:02.800 --> 01:55:05.120
Just even just a couple of months ago,

1514
01:55:05.120 --> 01:55:08.080
I did this exercise or asking God,

1515
01:55:08.080 --> 01:55:10.280
what does my ideal week look like?

1516
01:55:10.280 --> 01:55:15.280
And I saw like an hour every morning with him

1517
01:55:16.320 --> 01:55:20.000
and then one day a week, all day strategizing with him.

1518
01:55:20.000 --> 01:55:25.000
And so that we've been doing the one hour most mornings

1519
01:55:25.600 --> 01:55:27.080
but I haven't gotten to the day

1520
01:55:27.080 --> 01:55:28.800
of strategizing and planning with him.

1521
01:55:28.800 --> 01:55:31.400
But just all the stuff that you're saying

1522
01:55:31.400 --> 01:55:33.520
is just reinforcing and confirming

1523
01:55:33.520 --> 01:55:35.040
that this is the right direction.

1524
01:55:35.040 --> 01:55:40.040
And that I'm just, one thing even this morning

1525
01:55:40.360 --> 01:55:45.360
in our time with God, he also showed me it is finished.

1526
01:55:46.440 --> 01:55:49.440
And kind of like, even in relation to our company

1527
01:55:49.440 --> 01:55:50.600
and the movement we're trying to start

1528
01:55:50.600 --> 01:55:52.080
and all the things we're doing in the kingdom,

1529
01:55:52.080 --> 01:55:54.300
he's already did the work.

1530
01:55:54.300 --> 01:55:55.400
It's already completed.

1531
01:55:55.400 --> 01:55:57.720
And we just get to walk into it with him

1532
01:55:57.720 --> 01:55:59.280
in that partnership.

1533
01:55:59.280 --> 01:56:01.660
And so like that even just takes the stress levels

1534
01:56:01.660 --> 01:56:06.160
down to the floor, but that's the concept, right?

1535
01:56:06.160 --> 01:56:08.760
It's like, we're just in partnership with him

1536
01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:10.600
and we can operate out of a place of rest.

1537
01:56:10.600 --> 01:56:12.560
And so just reinforcing that.

1538
01:56:12.560 --> 01:56:16.580
And the thing that really jumped off the page to me today

1539
01:56:16.580 --> 01:56:21.580
was the concept of if we're upstairs with God

1540
01:56:22.080 --> 01:56:24.200
and we're his friend, he's gonna tell us

1541
01:56:24.200 --> 01:56:26.040
what he's doing in our company

1542
01:56:26.080 --> 01:56:29.160
and what he's going to do in our company, right?

1543
01:56:29.160 --> 01:56:31.800
So all of a sudden like that clicked.

1544
01:56:31.800 --> 01:56:32.760
Hey, if you're my friend

1545
01:56:32.760 --> 01:56:34.920
and you're gonna tell me what's coming

1546
01:56:34.920 --> 01:56:36.200
and then we can partner together

1547
01:56:36.200 --> 01:56:37.640
and walk through it together.

1548
01:56:37.640 --> 01:56:40.360
That's like amazing, amazing.

1549
01:56:40.360 --> 01:56:41.200
We don't have to guess.

1550
01:56:41.200 --> 01:56:42.480
Yeah, we're not reading tea leaves.

1551
01:56:42.480 --> 01:56:45.000
We're just listening to his voice, yeah.

1552
01:56:45.000 --> 01:56:50.000
Yeah, so that all comes against the normal sense of like,

1553
01:56:50.600 --> 01:56:51.760
I'm not sure how it's gonna work out.

1554
01:56:51.760 --> 01:56:53.760
How are we gonna make it?

1555
01:56:53.760 --> 01:56:55.560
Now we're gonna get through this cashflow crisis

1556
01:56:55.560 --> 01:56:57.280
and like you can get stuck over there

1557
01:56:57.280 --> 01:56:58.800
in the downstairs so easy.

1558
01:57:00.320 --> 01:57:02.720
And he's a genius of helping us.

1559
01:57:02.720 --> 01:57:03.600
Thank you for sharing.

1560
01:57:03.600 --> 01:57:08.600
Yeah, let's go to Tamara and Todd and then to Jonathan.

1561
01:57:10.080 --> 01:57:12.520
Yeah, this was great.

1562
01:57:12.520 --> 01:57:14.480
It was wonderful to have,

1563
01:57:14.480 --> 01:57:15.760
because we're restructuring.

1564
01:57:15.760 --> 01:57:17.040
We're in the process of restructuring.

1565
01:57:17.040 --> 01:57:19.860
We had to rehire a whole new staff.

1566
01:57:19.860 --> 01:57:23.960
And so the reminder to make sure

1567
01:57:23.960 --> 01:57:27.680
that the partnership conversations are happening regularly

1568
01:57:27.680 --> 01:57:31.000
and making sure, I mean, you and I have been together

1569
01:57:31.000 --> 01:57:32.680
for a bit, so I know the blocking

1570
01:57:32.680 --> 01:57:35.040
and I know getting all that together.

1571
01:57:35.040 --> 01:57:37.280
But now I learned something new today

1572
01:57:37.280 --> 01:57:40.560
about I felt like I got permission

1573
01:57:40.560 --> 01:57:42.480
to keep all this stuff that it's mandatory

1574
01:57:42.480 --> 01:57:45.680
that I don't like, like emails and texting

1575
01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:47.000
and all the things that I have to do,

1576
01:57:47.000 --> 01:57:48.360
put it at the end of the day.

1577
01:57:48.360 --> 01:57:51.040
Because right now I'm throwing it at the beginning,

1578
01:57:51.040 --> 01:57:52.800
this stuff out of the way that I don't like to do

1579
01:57:52.800 --> 01:57:54.520
so I can enjoy the rest of my day.

1580
01:57:54.520 --> 01:57:59.520
So now I think I'm gonna take my phone outside for texting

1581
01:58:00.360 --> 01:58:05.360
and enjoy my garden so I get to do something together.

1582
01:58:05.400 --> 01:58:09.560
Also, yeah, I love the reminder.

1583
01:58:09.560 --> 01:58:12.040
I've got all new staffing, all new staff.

1584
01:58:12.040 --> 01:58:13.520
Most of them haven't even met each other yet

1585
01:58:13.520 --> 01:58:15.000
because it's all virtual.

1586
01:58:15.000 --> 01:58:19.680
So I am excited to bring them all into the same room

1587
01:58:19.680 --> 01:58:22.620
and do some of the things that we were talking about today,

1588
01:58:23.460 --> 01:58:24.300
just do the joy thing.

1589
01:58:24.300 --> 01:58:27.100
And so, yeah, I love building team.

1590
01:58:27.100 --> 01:58:30.660
That's what we get to do, but I love this.

1591
01:58:30.660 --> 01:58:33.860
So today was a lot of practical takeaways for me

1592
01:58:33.860 --> 01:58:37.820
and just reminders that I get to implement

1593
01:58:37.820 --> 01:58:39.300
the things I already know how to do

1594
01:58:39.300 --> 01:58:41.500
that I'm not consistently doing.

1595
01:58:41.500 --> 01:58:42.340
That's great.

1596
01:58:42.340 --> 01:58:43.580
Well, Todd, just before you share,

1597
01:58:43.580 --> 01:58:45.660
I know we try to always be on time.

1598
01:58:45.660 --> 01:58:48.860
Well, I'd love to give everyone else a chance to talk.

1599
01:58:48.860 --> 01:58:51.460
So if you do need to go, we won't consider you rude.

1600
01:58:51.460 --> 01:58:53.820
Just drop off, loved having you.

1601
01:58:53.820 --> 01:58:55.380
Thanks so much for joining us,

1602
01:58:55.380 --> 01:58:57.420
but I'd love to give everybody else a shot.

1603
01:58:57.420 --> 01:59:00.300
So just drop off if you need to go.

1604
01:59:00.300 --> 01:59:04.460
Todd, what was your takeaway today?

1605
01:59:04.460 --> 01:59:09.140
The strategizing with Jesus, again, like others have said,

1606
01:59:09.140 --> 01:59:12.980
that priority, because I have so many opportunities

1607
01:59:12.980 --> 01:59:15.780
and so many projects that I wanna get started on,

1608
01:59:15.780 --> 01:59:18.180
but I don't know which one the priority is.

1609
01:59:18.180 --> 01:59:20.860
And they're fantastic growth projects.

1610
01:59:21.620 --> 01:59:26.620
So I need to go deeper with Jesus and in the partnership

1611
01:59:26.980 --> 01:59:29.780
and listen to him to tell me what's coming

1612
01:59:29.780 --> 01:59:31.780
and what to prepare for.

1613
01:59:31.780 --> 01:59:34.580
So, I mean, he's dropped some solid things in

1614
01:59:34.580 --> 01:59:36.420
and now I need to like plan around that.

1615
01:59:36.420 --> 01:59:37.700
So I just have to go deeper.

1616
01:59:37.700 --> 01:59:39.660
So I appreciate what you shared.

1617
01:59:39.660 --> 01:59:41.900
Yeah, permission makes us plan boldly.

1618
01:59:42.780 --> 01:59:43.940
I love it.

1619
01:59:43.940 --> 01:59:44.780
Yeah, Jonathan.

1620
01:59:45.940 --> 01:59:46.780
I'll make it quick.

1621
01:59:46.780 --> 01:59:49.180
I think probably the biggest takeaway for me is,

1622
01:59:49.180 --> 01:59:51.140
although I can't control the circumstances,

1623
01:59:51.140 --> 01:59:52.540
I can control my calendar.

1624
01:59:53.460 --> 01:59:57.940
And so the permission of making the calendar a lineup

1625
01:59:57.940 --> 02:00:00.220
with the things I know are the most important.

1626
02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:11.000
And then in that will help me organize my approach to the chaos, rather than trying to control the chaos with my chaos.

1627
02:00:11.000 --> 02:00:19.000
Well said. Lovely. Mark, then we'll go to Susan.

1628
02:00:19.000 --> 02:00:36.000
Yeah, I guess for me, I just love how it just continues to, and I heard it's a lot from others, the permission to just rest. And from the moment, I missed the first half hour, so I'm going to enjoy going back and listening to that.

1629
02:00:36.000 --> 02:00:50.000
But I jumped on right when the prophetic prayer was happening. I felt like at that point, I just got permission from the Father to, it was just like a huge paradigm shift in me to stop attacking and to rest.

1630
02:00:50.000 --> 02:01:02.000
And then when you bring the joy table, I'm so excited about taking that to a team.

1631
02:01:02.000 --> 02:01:06.000
So yeah, just brought clarity to the whole situation.

1632
02:01:06.000 --> 02:01:11.000
Awesome. Susan, then we'll go to Tyler.

1633
02:01:11.000 --> 02:01:19.000
It's great listening to what everybody else took away because it helps reinforce, you know what we have already heard, even though we've already got our own things going.

1634
02:01:19.000 --> 02:01:30.000
One of the things for me is kind of tightening up my chambers on my tasks, because I tend to, I'm going to do my writing here, and then I've got to do this, and I've got to reach out, and I've got to catch up.

1635
02:01:30.000 --> 02:01:43.000
And I need to parallel them a little bit more, like you were talking about, put all the buckets so I don't have that switch. I think I knew that cerebrally, but having it pulled out and put in front of me and looked at it that way, that's huge for me.

1636
02:01:43.000 --> 02:01:45.000
I'm excited.

1637
02:01:45.000 --> 02:01:50.000
Excellent. Tyler, and then we'll go to Matthew.

1638
02:01:50.000 --> 02:01:52.000
Yeah.

1639
02:01:52.000 --> 02:02:04.000
It was really good. I thought that I tend to be very reactionary to things happening with my schedule and be responsive or responding to people or distractions or things.

1640
02:02:04.000 --> 02:02:21.000
So taking that cognitive control over my week and schedule and trying to batch as much as I can was really, again, reinforcing. And then just all the stuff at the front side of the call, the truth to rest in and to stand on, it replaces all the lies.

1641
02:02:21.000 --> 02:02:23.000
So I'm very thankful.

1642
02:02:23.000 --> 02:02:31.000
Excellent. Let's go to Angie and then, sorry, I said Matthew. So Matthew, then Angie, then Bridget. Yeah. Matthew?

1643
02:02:32.000 --> 02:02:35.000
Yeah, you can skip me.

1644
02:02:35.000 --> 02:02:41.000
Today was kind of a great combination of wildly practical things for me.

1645
02:02:41.000 --> 02:02:51.000
The idea of buckets was really brilliant for myself just because I actually had people messaging me during the meeting going, I need you to answer the phone, call me back right now.

1646
02:02:51.000 --> 02:02:53.000
And I'm just thinking, you know what?

1647
02:02:53.000 --> 02:02:59.000
No, thank you. Because chaos is not what defines me.

1648
02:02:59.000 --> 02:03:11.000
The other part of it too that I love so much is the idea of, you know, as overwhelming as things get, sometimes to remind myself that I'm at rest because he's at rest.

1649
02:03:11.000 --> 02:03:17.000
And I'm not going to miss anything that he wants me to do, wants me to accomplish because he won't let me.

1650
02:03:17.000 --> 02:03:31.000
And he keeps me and just all the combination of all the brilliant things coming together, all the brilliant groups, all the activities and moving into this, it's like progressing and weightlifting.

1651
02:03:31.000 --> 02:03:39.000
You know, we're getting really effective and I love it and it's just, I'm so excited.

1652
02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:41.000
That's so great.

1653
02:03:41.000 --> 02:03:46.000
Thanks, Angie, Bridget, and then we'll go to Bruce.

1654
02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:52.000
Yeah, for me, the discussion on the buckets and batching tasks.

1655
02:03:52.000 --> 02:03:57.000
I've heard that before, but I've never really put it into action.

1656
02:03:57.000 --> 02:04:04.000
And so it's just new revelation of how much not doing that has cost me.

1657
02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:10.000
So I'm actually excited to take some steps forward in that.

1658
02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:12.000
So thank you so much.

1659
02:04:12.000 --> 02:04:14.000
Certainly.

1660
02:04:14.000 --> 02:04:15.000
Bridget?

1661
02:04:15.000 --> 02:04:22.000
I think just there's a lot that I really loved and good reminders, but I love the fact that rest is our weapon against the enemy.

1662
02:04:22.000 --> 02:04:25.000
And I think he tries to distract us by keeping us busy.

1663
02:04:25.000 --> 02:04:34.000
And when we come back to that place of peace and rest, we can hear him more clearly and be a lot more productive and, you know, better contribution to the kingdom.

1664
02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:35.000
I love that.

1665
02:04:35.000 --> 02:04:38.000
Rest is a weapon and an accelerator.

1666
02:04:38.000 --> 02:04:42.000
Okay, we'll go to Bruce and then Robin, we'll wrap it up.

1667
02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:44.000
Yeah, I think this is really good.

1668
02:04:44.000 --> 02:04:53.000
I think Jonathan said as well, you get a lot of tools, but the productivity and the time management, I think, is something we should listen to once a month.

1669
02:04:53.000 --> 02:04:57.000
Because it's just everything sort of deteriorates to bad habits, like sneak in.

1670
02:04:57.000 --> 02:05:00.000
And I think this demand, you can kind of justify why.

1671
02:05:00.000 --> 02:05:04.240
to talk to this client for this and I had to do this for this team member. So it's good just to

1672
02:05:04.240 --> 02:05:07.840
reset and be like, you know, kind of be a little bit more strict with that. And I think the

1673
02:05:08.480 --> 02:05:13.920
starting each day, I think is going to be helpful to, you know, kind of have a theme for the day.

1674
02:05:13.920 --> 02:05:19.520
I think that was great. And then also have kind of then on, you know, when the day is there,

1675
02:05:19.520 --> 02:05:23.600
just asking the Lord, like, what, what are we going to partner with today? And then what's

1676
02:05:23.600 --> 02:05:26.320
the main thing for the week? That's something I want to implement for sure.

1677
02:05:26.320 --> 02:05:33.040
Awesome. That is, that is great. That's a huge thing. Robin, I give you the last word.

1678
02:05:36.000 --> 02:05:41.520
Well, thank you so much, guys. Good to see you all. One of the things that we're having

1679
02:05:41.520 --> 02:05:46.720
a challenge with here, I don't know whether you all know it or not, but I have kind of

1680
02:05:46.720 --> 02:05:54.240
stepped away from running the company and we've hired a president, I'm still CEO, and morale is

1681
02:05:54.240 --> 02:06:02.080
down. And I am, you know, sitting in a place where I have somebody in between me and the rest

1682
02:06:02.080 --> 02:06:10.880
of the company. And not that I can't go talk to people or anything, but I liked the idea of the

1683
02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:18.560
quadrant, you know, the joy contribution quadrant. And I think I'm going to take one of my days

1684
02:06:18.560 --> 02:06:26.800
and kind of schedule that with one or two of the people that I'm with. And just with a whiteboard

1685
02:06:26.800 --> 02:06:36.160
on Zoom, just do the quadrant with them and see if we can kind of talk through some of the issues

1686
02:06:36.160 --> 02:06:40.720
that they may be having. And maybe we can make some changes in what we're currently doing to

1687
02:06:40.720 --> 02:06:48.240
bring up in the company. So that's kind of my takeaway. That's really good. Thank you all for

1688
02:06:48.240 --> 02:06:55.200
sharing and being together. This is such a lot of fun for us to do and to hang out with you guys.

1689
02:06:55.200 --> 02:07:02.160
So really appreciate it. And I hope you have an extraordinarily blessed month. And we'll see you

1690
02:07:02.160 --> 02:07:08.560
back in a month's time. Don't forget to go to the app. Later today, we'll post the replays and

1691
02:07:08.560 --> 02:07:12.400
all that stuff. And we'll try and pull out the prophetic word and so on as you ask.

1692
02:07:12.640 --> 02:07:16.000
Where do we find the app? I can't find the app on the app store.

1693
02:07:18.080 --> 02:07:21.520
Just search for Edge Groups on the app. Oh, Edge Groups. Okay. Yeah.

1694
02:07:23.040 --> 02:07:27.280
There's a link. Dia dropped a link in here. If you'll scroll through the chat,

1695
02:07:28.720 --> 02:07:32.240
it'll take you to the My Edge Group and all the stuff is there.

1696
02:07:33.440 --> 02:07:38.000
Yeah, you can get on web, you can get on iOS, you can get on Android. They all exist.

1697
02:07:38.000 --> 02:07:43.120
Beautiful. Okay. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Have a wonderful month.
