1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.760
All right, so welcome to this.

2
00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:11.000
For those of you not here live, you're missing out.

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.800
What a conversation we've been having, but welcome.

4
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.040
I want to have a recording for those of you not here, welcome, welcome.

5
00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:24.040
This is our monthly Prosper Leader Member Kickoff.

6
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:29.000
So we, at the beginning of every month, we kick off the month.

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
So ladies, those of you that are here will be interacting,

8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.000
and those of you watching the recording, you can do this at home.

9
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:48.000
I want to, as we kick off a new month, December, the final month of 2024,

10
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000
it's a very important month.

11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Of course, every month is important in a different way.

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
That's how God, you know, orchestrated it.

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.000
Seed, time, harvest, there's seasons.

14
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.000
But this is such an important month, in my opinion.

15
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.000
So if I look at it in relationship to the Christmas story,

16
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:17.000
that as, you know, Christians, we celebrate Christmas and the birth of Christ,

17
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:28.000
there is this idea of preparing space and making room for that which we desire.

18
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:36.000
And so for me, December is always a season of clearing out,

19
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.000
what do I not want to bring into the new year?

20
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Just a few weeks from now, we're going to be starting 2025, a brand new year.

21
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.000
Which, by the way, I'll tell you guys, mark your calendar now.

22
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.000
The 27th of this month, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31st.

23
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:05.000
So the 27th through the 31st, every morning at 9 a.m.,

24
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.000
I'm going to be doing Jumpstart Your 2025.

25
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.000
So I'm going to really dig deep for five days with you, how to jumpstart into the new year.

26
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.000
So today is just a special little taste of some of it.

27
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:32.000
So the idea is, what do I need to release that I do not desire to take into the new year?

28
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:38.000
And what do I need to create space for in this new year?

29
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.000
And so it's a powerful time.

30
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.000
And I've done this every year.

31
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.000
One of the things I start doing is clearing out clutter.

32
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.000
It's a really great time.

33
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.000
A lot accumulates over the year, some of you have found.

34
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.000
And I usually, in my case, I don't know about any of you,

35
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.000
but I just start accumulating way too much stuff on my desk.

36
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:07.000
I have a really big desk, and it can hold a lot of stuff.

37
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.000
And I'm putting books that I'm reading, and I've got stacks of notes I'm working on,

38
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.000
and I don't know if I have any stackers in the house.

39
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:20.000
But I just end up, it's a characteristic, if you've studied brain leads with me,

40
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.000
it's a characteristic of frontal right brain lead.

41
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.000
We don't put stuff in files, because once it's gone, we don't know where it is.

42
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.000
We never look for it again.

43
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.000
So we keep it in stacks, and we know exactly where it is in the stack.

44
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.000
But anyway, that can get a little obnoxious.

45
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:41.000
So I take everything off my desk.

46
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.000
And then I only put back that which I want to bring into the new season.

47
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:53.000
And so it's a wonderful feeling of bringing closure to a year.

48
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.000
And you can do this also on the desktop of your computer.

49
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:04.000
You can, this is a good time to go through your subscriptions

50
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
and look at ones you don't need to take next year.

51
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:12.000
You didn't use them for three months, six months, a year.

52
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.000
It's a great time to unsubscribe, even if you do it in little bite-sized chunks.

53
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:22.000
Ladies, like every time you open your email, just unsubscribe from five things.

54
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.000
Not Prosper, not Prosper, but other things, right?

55
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.000
And so cleaning out your email.

56
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.000
I start a fresh calendar, so that's important.

57
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000
You can make a new vision board.

58
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.000
I start a fresh journal.

59
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.000
Clean your lists.

60
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
Make sure we've talked about the lists all along, your top 100 list,

61
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:57.000
your referral partner list, your clients that you want to renew, reactivate, right?

62
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.000
So just these things that begin to...

63
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.720
who creates space. Okay, so I'm going to start with a prayer.

64
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.200
Just to kick us off. And then I'm going to go through you all

65
00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:21.800
should have. Oh, good. Maggie just got here to let me let her

66
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:31.840
join as well. Hey, Maggie, welcome. Hey, Maggie, welcome.

67
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.760
We were just having a great conversation, something that is

68
00:05:35.760 --> 00:05:40.880
up your alley. So I'm connecting Natalie to Kate, but also if you

69
00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:44.520
and Maggie have not connected yet, you guys are all in the

70
00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:50.640
same space and can really, really benefit each other. So

71
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:56.040
I'm going to start with prayer and welcome also Bev. So glad

72
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.800
you're here people coming in late here. I'm gonna start with

73
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:06.240
prayer and then you all should have received a monthly kickoff

74
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.360
energizer. I did email it out this morning. You could just do

75
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.120
it in your notes if not, but if you have it, you can print that

76
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.600
out. We're going to go through that together briefly. And then

77
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.640
I'm going to break you into your groups and then we're going to

78
00:06:19.640 --> 00:06:24.880
come back and wrap it up. But again, for those of you that are

79
00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:29.440
just coming, December is a really significant month. And I

80
00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:34.480
always think in terms of the Christmas story, that infinite

81
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:41.400
love, savior of the world came. And it says, they had to put

82
00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:46.720
them in a manger because there was no room at the end. And

83
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:52.600
that has always got me thinking, what is there not room

84
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:59.520
for in our life, because we did not create space, space in our

85
00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:04.400
mind, space in our heart, space in our environment, space in our

86
00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:10.560
calendar, right? Space in our life. And so it's a what

87
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.040
December is such a wonderful time to be very intentional,

88
00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:25.680
very intentional. What do I not desire to take into 2025? I

89
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.800
literally think in my mind, almost like I'm packing up and

90
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.520
moving, because I am I'm moving into a brand new year. And so

91
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:37.960
I'm always looking at everything and saying, does this go into

92
00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:42.320
the new home? Does this go into the many of you started new

93
00:07:42.320 --> 00:07:46.920
businesses into the new business? And into the new

94
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.320
relationships, whatever it is that's happening in your world?

95
00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:56.240
And what do I need to let go of and release? So let's do that

96
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:00.880
first in prayer. And then let's go through the real quick

97
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:05.080
through your energizer, because I found that I send them to you,

98
00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:07.320
but I don't always get them back. So I'm going to give you a

99
00:08:07.320 --> 00:08:10.680
minute to do it actually now. Then I'm going to break you in

100
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.080
your breakout room, and then we'll come back together. Okay,

101
00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:17.640
so let's start with prayer. Father God, I just thank you for

102
00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:23.840
the gift of new. You've said that you are doing a new thing

103
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:29.720
in Isaiah, and you have asked the question, will you not

104
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:35.440
perceive it? So first and foremost, Lord, I just ask Holy

105
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.960
Spirit that you reveal to us that you open our spiritual

106
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:47.120
senses to know, where are you working? What are you doing

107
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:52.760
right now? What is on your heart in this season? I know Jesus

108
00:08:52.760 --> 00:08:58.880
said, he only did what he saw the Father doing. Lord, would

109
00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:06.040
you open our minds, our hearts, our spirits, to knowing what

110
00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:12.080
you're doing and desire to do in this season in us, through

111
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:19.360
us, collectively as prosper leaders, collectively as the

112
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:25.880
body of Christ. Open our minds and hearts. Lord, may it never

113
00:09:25.880 --> 00:09:32.760
be said that there was no room for the Savior, that we did not

114
00:09:32.760 --> 00:09:37.000
create space. May it never be said that there's no room for

115
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.680
the people you've called us to serve. May it never be said that

116
00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:47.960
there's no room to create, to have creative times to write, to

117
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:53.200
paint, to do whatever it is that you've called us to birth. And

118
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:58.840
so Lord, whatever we need to release and let go of, I ask

119
00:09:58.840 --> 00:09:59.960
that you reveal it.

120
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.600
and you give us the courage to let that go.

121
00:10:06.680 --> 00:10:10.880
And so I ask in this call,

122
00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:12.800
that your purposes will prevail,

123
00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:14.760
that you'll touch our minds and our hearts

124
00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:17.520
with that which you want us to receive

125
00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:21.940
for this month, for this season, for this day.

126
00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:25.480
We love you and we give thanks in Jesus name.

127
00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:27.480
Amen.

128
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.240
I'd like for all of you just to breathe in

129
00:10:34.400 --> 00:10:39.400
and with the attitude of openness and receptivity.

130
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:45.360
One of the hugest things that blocks our success,

131
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.600
that blocks everything God is trying to do

132
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.280
is that we're not open and we're not receptive.

133
00:10:52.280 --> 00:10:53.120
Why?

134
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.720
Because we fear, we doubt, we worry, we're angst,

135
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.720
we're busy, we're like Martha,

136
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.920
we're troubled with many things.

137
00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:01.760
There's a lot of reasons,

138
00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:06.720
but I would like you as an act of just receptivity

139
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:11.720
to say, Lord, I'm open to what you have in this new season

140
00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:16.400
and then just breathe in, just breathe in,

141
00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:20.200
take a deep, deep breath and just breathe in God's love,

142
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.680
God's word, God's power,

143
00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:26.560
and then breathe out as a form of releasing

144
00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:28.200
everything that no longer serves you.

145
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.440
Just breathe it out.

146
00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:32.200
So let's do that again.

147
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.400
Breathe in deep all that God has for you.

148
00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:41.400
And then as you breathe out, just release,

149
00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:46.980
give a sigh, let everything go.

150
00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:49.440
And let's just take a look.

151
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.040
Like I said, you can print this out, you have it,

152
00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:54.520
but let me just share the screen real quick

153
00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:59.520
and let's go through this together right now.

154
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.960
And there's what Natalie is doing.

155
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:06.240
If you guys missed it, it is pretty, pretty exciting.

156
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.280
Okay, here it is, right?

157
00:12:08.280 --> 00:12:09.480
It should be right here.

158
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.520
Why do you put stuff up and then it doesn't show up?

159
00:12:13.520 --> 00:12:14.480
Come on.

160
00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:21.560
Well, I had it up and ready to show it.

161
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.560
We can see it, Brenda.

162
00:12:23.560 --> 00:12:24.400
We can see it.

163
00:12:24.400 --> 00:12:25.400
Can you see it?

164
00:12:25.400 --> 00:12:26.240
Yep.

165
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.600
Okay, perfect, beautiful.

166
00:12:35.140 --> 00:12:38.900
No, okay, I had it.

167
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.360
Okay, now it disappeared.

168
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.560
All right, we'll just do it from this, that's fine.

169
00:12:44.560 --> 00:12:49.200
Okay, so it says we always experience our dreams

170
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:54.240
many times in our imagination before we live them.

171
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.560
And so having some time at the beginning of the month

172
00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:02.840
and at the beginning of every day to just be still,

173
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.300
dedicate your God-given image maker

174
00:13:06.300 --> 00:13:09.620
and let God show you the picture.

175
00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:12.080
Everything is created first in our imagination,

176
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.380
the chair you're sitting in, the table,

177
00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:16.480
and let God begin to show you

178
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:21.480
because he's doing a new thing and letting him show us.

179
00:13:21.640 --> 00:13:26.640
And so no matter where you are, there's only now, right?

180
00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:32.240
The past is a memory, future does not exist.

181
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.080
And so we start right here.

182
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.820
Every day is the first day of the rest of your life, okay?

183
00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:40.780
So as we look at December,

184
00:13:40.780 --> 00:13:43.160
I like sending you each month this,

185
00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:45.280
and like I said, you guys didn't always do it,

186
00:13:45.280 --> 00:13:47.560
so I'm doing it together with you, okay?

187
00:13:47.560 --> 00:13:50.960
So first question, you can just be reflecting with us

188
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.800
and you can put it in your notes, you can print this out.

189
00:13:54.760 --> 00:13:56.600
Are you serious?

190
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.600
Are you all in for your life goals, dreams, ambitions?

191
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.240
Are you willing?

192
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.240
Whatever God has for you, for what this season holds,

193
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.600
what this month holds, what this day holds, yes or no,

194
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.560
are you all in?

195
00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:19.040
And then I want you to be honest and say,

196
00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:23.520
what level are you willing to play?

197
00:14:23.520 --> 00:14:27.000
One, I'm just putting my toes in, 10,

198
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.600
I am going all in in December.

199
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.600
I'm going all in.

200
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.600
What level, one through 10, are you willing to play at?

201
00:14:39.880 --> 00:14:41.480
Okay?

202
00:14:41.520 --> 00:14:46.520
And then we look at the desires of our heart.

203
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.720
Those are a sign.

204
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.800
When your heart has been redeemed,

205
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:53.040
when you've given your life to God,

206
00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:53.880
because some people go,

207
00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:56.360
oh, the heart is desperately wicked, I can't trust it.

208
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:59.400
No, when you've surrendered to the Lord,

209
00:14:59.400 --> 00:15:00.240
the Holy Spirit.

210
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.320
it lives in your heart and and this is where God speaks and this is a sign of your divine purpose

211
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:15.200
and so you look at your desires death of sire the father so what has God put on your heart

212
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.960
that never leaves what are the things that God like you as long as you can remember

213
00:15:23.680 --> 00:15:27.280
whatever it is for you you know when God started putting something on your heart

214
00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:34.080
what is it what is God put on your heart it just doesn't go away

215
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.360
just take a minute and reflect on that and write that down

216
00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:44.240
that's the basis for your God-given vision

217
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.240
what are what are those things maybe you were afraid to think about them maybe you were too

218
00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:56.720
maybe you were too busy to think about them but when you give yourself a minute

219
00:15:57.920 --> 00:16:01.440
they're always there light you up

220
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.240
you could say it would give me so much joy if

221
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:21.920
go ahead and take a minute reflect on that

222
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:29.600
what has God shown you that you just know like with Esther for such a time as this

223
00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:36.080
you just know we were talking earlier the beautiful thing Natalie is

224
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.800
is doing and what I could see right through that is part of that call is training up leaders

225
00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:47.200
to be able to do such a such a massive thing in her city to have 4 000 people and working

226
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:53.120
with the homeless and all that she's doing that started with a vision correct Natalie

227
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:59.360
started with a small picture just eight women that gathered together or men or women gathered

228
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:05.200
together to create a vision that grew and grew and grew and this year 4 000 people and 800

229
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.760
volunteers and all the community coming together for homelessness it just starts with a small seed

230
00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:18.800
just like a huge oak tree starts with a small acorn but in that acorn is the whole making of

231
00:17:18.800 --> 00:17:24.720
the tree in your heart is the whole making of what God is is desiring to birth the the reason

232
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:30.640
you were created and you can scale it down small or scale it big you can go total life purpose that

233
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:35.760
God has shown you or you could go in this season I'm feeling so strong it doesn't matter

234
00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:44.240
it all works it's just going with what God has put in your heart so raise your hands if

235
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.920
you've done it I want to give you enough time to do this everybody got it or still

236
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.760
if you're still working say give me a minute

237
00:17:51.760 --> 00:18:04.560
looks like you guys all got it yeah okay all right so once you're clear on your desires and

238
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:11.440
if any of you want just email me one of the things I do in coaching is the tournament of desires

239
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:21.120
so if you are not um I'm gonna let me I want to be able to see the chat so I can see what

240
00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:27.680
you guys are saying but I can't so I'll have to come back to it um so if you want the tournament

241
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:34.800
of desires um that's another way to get clear on what you truly desire and which ones to focus on

242
00:18:34.800 --> 00:18:38.800
now if you're kind of like I don't even know I don't know my desires I don't know which ones

243
00:18:38.800 --> 00:18:46.000
matter I've kind of shut that down we'll back up a step and do that okay so now that you've got that

244
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:59.360
vision what do you what do I need to become to create that vision what do I need to become more of

245
00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:08.720
more organized more bold more confident more prayerful more mindful

246
00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:17.360
in order for this vision to happen more purposeful more consistent

247
00:19:19.040 --> 00:19:23.440
more loving more forgiving more faith filled

248
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:31.840
write down what do I need to become because it's all about the being

249
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.440
to live out this vision to create this vision

250
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.480
write that down

251
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:40.720
you

252
00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.920
and if I was already

253
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.760
Eddie, living this vision, fully living out this vision.

254
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.840
How would I show up?

255
00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:11.720
What would I do more of?

256
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.800
What do I need to do more of?

257
00:20:13.800 --> 00:20:17.040
What do I need to bring more of into my life?

258
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.080
So again, as we're talking about the month,

259
00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:25.320
we're talking about what do I need to let go of and release?

260
00:20:25.320 --> 00:20:28.920
What do I need to bring more of?

261
00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:31.200
Go ahead.

262
00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:36.560
So I would need to do more visibility.

263
00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:39.800
I would show up more.

264
00:20:39.800 --> 00:20:44.800
I would need to be diligent in writing or creating

265
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:51.640
or live events or networking or building connections

266
00:20:53.560 --> 00:20:58.560
or what would you do more of to truly live out this vision?

267
00:21:00.280 --> 00:21:05.280
And then if I was already living this vision,

268
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:13.440
what habits would I need to have?

269
00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:15.360
I am a firm believer,

270
00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:18.200
any change that you desire in your life

271
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.840
is as simple as creating a habit.

272
00:21:20.840 --> 00:21:24.760
So you just pick one new habit.

273
00:21:24.760 --> 00:21:25.880
Even in December,

274
00:21:26.520 --> 00:21:29.040
I'm going to develop the new habit

275
00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:32.440
of a morning spiritual practice,

276
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.440
journaling, posting every day, walking,

277
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.600
whatever it is for you,

278
00:21:38.600 --> 00:21:42.920
calling three prospects, whatever it is, okay?

279
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.920
If you can create one habit in December

280
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.480
that's gonna move you forward,

281
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.800
that's gonna move the needle forward

282
00:21:54.800 --> 00:21:58.600
because almost all that we do is habit.

283
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:00.400
So if you change your habits

284
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.760
and if you haven't read Atomic Habits,

285
00:22:02.760 --> 00:22:04.280
that kind of walks you through it,

286
00:22:04.280 --> 00:22:05.200
you could read that,

287
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:10.200
but what habit do you need to create in December?

288
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.800
You can start now.

289
00:22:12.800 --> 00:22:16.000
You still have almost a full month to develop.

290
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.320
You could have a new habit.

291
00:22:17.320 --> 00:22:20.320
You realize you could go into January

292
00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:22.000
with a brand new habit.

293
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.520
Is it writing every day?

294
00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:25.920
Doing your morning pages?

295
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.560
Is it doing a live every day?

296
00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:30.240
Is it sending out?

297
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.280
What is it?

298
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.520
What's the new habit that you could put in place?

299
00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:37.000
Is it drinking water?

300
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:39.480
Is it, you know, whatever.

301
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:41.800
It's something that you can do in December

302
00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:43.400
that you'll start the new year with.

303
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.480
Can you imagine going into 2025 with a new habit?

304
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.200
Which habit is it gonna be?

305
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.440
Exercising every day?

306
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:53.840
What is it that's gonna move you forward?

307
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.600
And then the other side is,

308
00:22:58.600 --> 00:23:00.800
if I'm already gonna be living this vision,

309
00:23:00.800 --> 00:23:02.360
what do I need to let go of?

310
00:23:04.800 --> 00:23:08.200
Watching too much, scrolling too much,

311
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.680
sleeping too much, not sleeping enough,

312
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:13.080
burning the candle of both that.

313
00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:16.320
What is the time that, like I said,

314
00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:19.600
we're moving, consider like you're moving into a new house.

315
00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:21.720
2025 is a new house.

316
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.520
What is it that you absolutely do not wanna take

317
00:23:24.520 --> 00:23:27.160
into the new year?

318
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.760
What do I need to let go of?

319
00:23:33.560 --> 00:23:36.320
So what do I, what's the habit I need to add?

320
00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:38.120
What do I need to let go of?

321
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.920
And then what resources are gonna be important

322
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:48.880
for you in December?

323
00:23:50.120 --> 00:23:53.120
To do what it is that you're desiring to do.

324
00:23:53.120 --> 00:23:56.320
Now, yeah, we'll do it in the next question.

325
00:23:56.320 --> 00:23:58.560
So what resources?

326
00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:04.600
So do you need some virtual assistant?

327
00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:07.480
Do you need someone to help you clean up your books?

328
00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:10.560
Do you need to ask?

329
00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:12.800
This is a great time to ask the group.

330
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:16.920
Hey, do any of you know, do you have an app that does this?

331
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.680
Do you have a virtual assistant you can recommend?

332
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:24.160
Do you have a something that you can recommend?

333
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.160
Let this be a resource, this whole group, ask me.

334
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.240
So what resources do you need to accomplish?

335
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.080
And then your goals this month.

336
00:24:38.080 --> 00:24:43.080
I would like you to write your top three goals.

337
00:24:43.800 --> 00:24:45.440
And I'd like you to start the habit

338
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:47.640
of writing those every single day in December.

339
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:50.000
You just write them down real quick.

340
00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:53.160
This is so powerful.

341
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.520
We know scientifically that those who write it,

342
00:24:56.520 --> 00:24:58.720
it ends up, it ingrains in your brain.

343
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.120
It ends up, God, it just.

344
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.480
works, okay? So number one, number two, number three, no more than three, but December, your

345
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:25.840
top three goals, write them down. One, two, three. December goals. Remember, we're going

346
00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:33.080
to come back at the end of December and see how you're doing. Three goals for December.

347
00:25:33.080 --> 00:25:39.920
Make them SMART goals, specific, do not be vague, like more money, more time, no, no.

348
00:25:39.920 --> 00:26:01.780
Make them specific. Make them specific. How many new clients, how much money, specific.

349
00:26:01.780 --> 00:26:06.180
Make sure it's measurable so that at the end of the month, you can know if it happened

350
00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:18.200
or it didn't happen, okay? Achievable, relevant, and timely. By when? These are goals I want

351
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:29.800
you to do by December 31st. So I will write my book or a chapter a week, you know, whatever,

352
00:26:29.800 --> 00:26:37.420
four chapters in my book. That would be very specific, measurable, achievable, relevant.

353
00:26:37.420 --> 00:26:47.800
Okay? Everybody have that? Okay. And then, everything, activating the flow. You've all

354
00:26:47.800 --> 00:26:55.340
learned from me about activating the flow. So what are you going to give or so to activate

355
00:26:55.340 --> 00:27:08.160
the flow? How are you going to activate the flow? So let's say the goal was three new

356
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:16.520
clients and let's say that what you were going to give is you were going to create a free

357
00:27:16.520 --> 00:27:23.600
resource that will totally help them and, or you'll get on and do a free masterclass

358
00:27:23.600 --> 00:27:29.020
or you will call or you'll coach five people for an hour free, whatever. What are you going

359
00:27:29.020 --> 00:27:37.860
to sell? Or if it's monetary, it could be time, it can be money, it can be ideas. And

360
00:27:37.860 --> 00:27:48.620
then you're going to write it or schedule it. Okay? Then the biggest question always,

361
00:27:48.620 --> 00:27:53.380
in December, how are you going to add more value? You're trying to increase income, increase

362
00:27:53.660 --> 00:28:04.740
clients, increase impact. You do that by adding value. So how will you add value in December?

363
00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:14.500
How will you add value? Okay? And then who will you add the value to? Write it out, schedule

364
00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:21.420
it. How will you add value? So I always am looking at my prosper leader members that

365
00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:27.300
I adore, you ladies and clients, how, and I'm looking, I look at December and I asked

366
00:28:27.300 --> 00:28:34.180
this question, how will I add value? I said, I'm going to do jumpstart 2025. Then you schedule

367
00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:40.980
it like, okay, when am I going to do jumpstart your 2025? Well, Christmas falls on a Wednesday.

368
00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:45.540
I'm not going to do it the day after that's too much. Let's start Friday, the 27th. And

369
00:28:45.540 --> 00:28:50.980
now I'm going to give, this is again, what am I sewing? How am I adding value from the

370
00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:58.420
27th through the 31st every morning, I'm going to show up and do jumpstart your 2025. I've

371
00:28:58.420 --> 00:29:03.300
done this for many years. I do a really specific meditation to help you go into the new year

372
00:29:03.300 --> 00:29:11.620
each day. I give you specific tools, right? So how are you going to add value to whom?

373
00:29:11.620 --> 00:29:18.700
Write it down, schedule it. And then for your top three goals, what's your next right

374
00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:27.140
action? What's your next right action? Write it down and schedule it. I haven't made my

375
00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:33.300
lists. I'm going to get those lists made. My next right action is to follow up with

376
00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:40.820
the people from XYZ. My next right action is to schedule XYZ. My next right action is

377
00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:46.420
to hire XYZ. What is your next right action? You've got your top three goals. You've got

378
00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:52.580
how you're going to add value and open the flow. What's your next right action? And then at the

379
00:29:52.580 --> 00:29:58.580
end, December 31st comes, you get there, you accomplish this. How are you going to reward

380
00:29:58.580 --> 00:29:59.940
yourself? When December

381
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.320
31st, before you go into the new year, woohoo, I did it. I created the new habit. I added value.

382
00:30:06.320 --> 00:30:15.840
I accomplished this goal. How will you reward yourself? Okay. All right.

383
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:20.960
Was that helpful? Is that useful?

384
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:28.320
Pop something in the chat. Let me know if that got you kind of started or you

385
00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:32.160
already were doing that or that I need to know. Is that helpful? Is that useful? Give me some

386
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:38.320
feedback in the chat real quick. Yes. Hey, Victoria, sorry I didn't see you. You had to

387
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:44.320
wait to come in for a little while, but it's in your email. Awesome. Anybody else? Was it helpful?

388
00:30:44.320 --> 00:30:49.920
You can say no and I won't do it anymore. You can say yes. Your feedback really matters to me.

389
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.680
Give me a chat real quick. I've only heard from Victoria.

390
00:30:59.280 --> 00:31:03.520
And then I'm going to break you into your breakout groups and then we're going to come back.

391
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:11.280
Okay. Hey, it's useful. I got a little stuck on the adding value. Good. Good. But it's stretching

392
00:31:11.280 --> 00:31:17.280
me. Good. Thank you. That's great feedback. One of the most important questions to ask consistently,

393
00:31:17.280 --> 00:31:20.800
you want to grow your income, you want to grow your business, you want to grow your impact,

394
00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:27.040
the number one question is today, this month, how can I add more value? So you're going in the

395
00:31:27.040 --> 00:31:31.600
public sector, in the community, what could you provide for them? What resource do you have?

396
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:37.520
Can you add them on LinkedIn and can you be giving tips? Can you start a newsletter that

397
00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:45.360
adds value? Can you mail a Christmas card that just sends love, adds value? Start a prayer

398
00:31:45.360 --> 00:31:50.320
chain that you pray for them and you let them know, hey, community prayer time once a month,

399
00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:57.600
that's adding value, right? So it's that sewing, it's that giving. Okay. I love it. Okay. Natalie,

400
00:31:57.600 --> 00:32:03.200
helpful. And I had started something similar. Beautiful. Well, is there things that you had

401
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:07.760
that I didn't have that we should be adding Natalie or anything that you would say more

402
00:32:07.760 --> 00:32:16.160
since you're already on it? I would love to hear. And then I did not hear from Maggie and Tracy.

403
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:21.440
How about you guys? Your feedback really matters. It helps me create what best helps you.

404
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:33.440
Do you want me to just speak it? That's easier. Okay. I'm dealing with a move,

405
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:42.880
an unexpected move and a kid who's applying to colleges and Christmas and having to sort the

406
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:49.760
kids stuff out before the move. And so business has really taken a backseat. So when I listed

407
00:32:49.760 --> 00:32:56.000
the priorities, like none of them were about the business, which they were a month ago. And right

408
00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:04.560
now they're just not. Okay. There's seasons sister. We go through seasons and not everything is

409
00:33:04.560 --> 00:33:14.000
business. You know, one of my three goals has to do with relationship. Also just your space. This

410
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:19.840
is a beautiful time. If you're moving, like I said, it's a wonderful time to just start releasing

411
00:33:19.840 --> 00:33:28.480
a lot of stuff to make the move fresh and easy. Right. So good. I think you're still muted. I

412
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:33.920
don't know if you're still talking, but yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Tracy, I didn't hear from you.

413
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:41.200
And Natalie, you're raising your hand. Go ahead. I was just going to say to Maggie,

414
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:51.200
the young people have this saying now and it's called life be lifin. And so they say life be

415
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:59.120
lifin. And so one of the things that I would just encourage you is that life be lifin. And sometimes

416
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:07.920
what I have learned is that in the season, the priority can maybe shift, but the other priorities

417
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:14.000
are not forgotten. So for instance, something may just shift because of the season or what you're

418
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:20.800
moving in. And so not to get frustrated if it's not about the business, but make sure that there's

419
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:27.600
something there, even if it's, you know, going back to what Brenda said is making one of those

420
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:32.400
goals. Just when you write three times a day about your business, because it keeps it

421
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.480
in the forefront, but you may not be working on it right now, but it keeps it. Yeah.

422
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:41.280
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was talking to Kate yesterday and she's like, Maggie,

423
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:45.280
we really need to talk about this text that you sent me like a month ago. And I was like,

424
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:50.159
what text? And then she read it to me and I was like, oh my gosh, that was me. But a month ago,

425
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:56.159
my life was exceedingly different. And it kind of feels like every time I get to this point where

426
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:59.760
I'm just like, let's go, God, let's do the big one.

427
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.880
Let's just go into the, which I have gone in 100%,

428
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:06.320
so many times in my life, right?

429
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:10.040
For different times that I've had to 10X basically,

430
00:35:10.040 --> 00:35:11.120
like I'd have to move up.

431
00:35:11.120 --> 00:35:16.120
But when that happened, the amount of pushback

432
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.040
on literally the lives of my children

433
00:35:20.040 --> 00:35:22.480
hanging in the balance in the last month

434
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.400
and me having to then completely pivot.

435
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:27.960
And not that my kids aren't always

436
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:29.800
the biggest part of my life, they really are.

437
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.240
They've always been, and so has everything.

438
00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:35.560
My job takes a very significantly small role in my life.

439
00:35:35.560 --> 00:35:40.080
But that being said, the pivot was just so hard.

440
00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:42.880
The pushback from the spiritual, I think,

441
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:47.600
was just so hard that it has me spinning right now.

442
00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:50.120
Yeah.

443
00:35:50.120 --> 00:35:55.080
So perhaps to consider, and I'm gonna,

444
00:35:55.080 --> 00:35:56.960
after we break out,

445
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.840
I'm hoping that we have enough time,

446
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:01.160
and we're probably not.

447
00:36:01.160 --> 00:36:02.880
I'll send it to you guys by email.

448
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.280
There's something I wanted to share,

449
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.480
but this went a little bit longer.

450
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:08.160
Put a vote in.

451
00:36:08.160 --> 00:36:09.800
Well, I think we need to break out

452
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:11.880
because you need your prosperous sisters.

453
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:16.320
Can you make this a very genuine time of connecting?

454
00:36:17.600 --> 00:36:20.880
And can we go five minutes over the hour?

455
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:22.480
Can I give you guys 10 minutes

456
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:24.240
and then we come back and connect for five?

457
00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:25.200
Can we do that?

458
00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:26.280
Will that work okay?

459
00:36:27.600 --> 00:36:29.200
We're just running out of time.

460
00:36:29.200 --> 00:36:31.480
Okay, I'm gonna do the breakout room right now

461
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:35.160
because it's important that you guys have time to connect.

462
00:36:35.160 --> 00:36:37.000
One, two, three, four.

463
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:40.520
Okay, one of your rooms is gonna have three in it.

464
00:36:42.680 --> 00:36:43.520
Let's see.

465
00:36:44.720 --> 00:36:45.920
You guys are moving around.

466
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:46.760
What are you doing?

467
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.960
Okay, I'm gonna do the breakout rooms right now,

468
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:51.960
and then we're gonna come back

469
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:53.520
because I wanna just wrap it up.

470
00:36:53.520 --> 00:36:54.960
Okay, here we go.

471
00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.040
Oh, all right.

472
00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.800
Okay.

473
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:28.800
Hey.

474
00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:54.920
Hey, Victoria.

475
00:38:55.240 --> 00:38:57.440
You're muted.

476
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:58.920
Did you request help?

477
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:02.600
I can't hear you.

478
00:39:02.600 --> 00:39:03.320
You're muted.

479
00:39:09.160 --> 00:39:09.960
Can you hear me?

480
00:39:12.600 --> 00:39:14.040
You got to unmute yourself.

481
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:33.600
Not working, huh?

482
00:39:33.600 --> 00:39:34.240
You can't unmute.

483
00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:35.880
You might have to leave and come back.

484
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.040
I'll let you back in.

485
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:49.760
I'm not hearing anything.

486
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:50.240
You're muted.

487
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.600
Go back to the Zoom here.

488
00:39:55.600 --> 00:39:59.560
He can't hear you.

489
00:39:59.560 --> 00:40:01.560
Yeah, maybe you can let me turn that on.

490
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.120
pop something in the chat. Okay, now I couldn't get back to that screen. No, I'm here by myself.

491
00:40:07.120 --> 00:40:12.400
Yeah, your Bev is in, but I guess she didn't jump in the room. I had you and Bev together, but

492
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:17.920
okay, no worries. That's fine. Yeah, so sorry about that. I don't know unless she left or

493
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:28.560
what happened because I had you and Bev together. Well, we've only got, yeah, no, no, it's fine.

494
00:40:28.560 --> 00:40:35.040
It's fine, but I'm doing this reset, which has been like, it's a big band thing and I really,

495
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:43.200
I'm just going to do it messy, whatever, but once I get it going, I think I'm going to have one

496
00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:48.800
every month. I was so proud of you when I saw your information. I was so proud of you. It's like,

497
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:54.880
girl, you stepped up. Oh, I know, but I love the adding value. So I'm going to remember that and

498
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:59.840
just go with it and just kind of improv every month. If you just go from that standpoint,

499
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:04.000
I'm going to show up. I'm going to let God shine through me. I'm going to love, I'm going to add

500
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:09.680
value. It's perfect. I was so proud of you. I'm like, oh girl, she actually scheduled something.

501
00:41:09.680 --> 00:41:18.800
So proud of you. Okay, thank you. Okay, and I've got to figure out how to get us out of here,

502
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:23.680
which I don't, let me just see if it lets me now. I can just leave and come back or something or

503
00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:30.000
just are you able to get out? I don't know. I've never jumped into one like this. Let me see if I

504
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:40.240
can look at the breakout rooms. It shows Bev did not join. I had you in here with Bev, but she did

505
00:41:40.240 --> 00:41:47.360
not join. Okay. I guess when I close all rooms, we'll just all go out together. It'll be fine.

506
00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:51.440
So I'm going to give everybody four more minutes.

507
00:42:00.080 --> 00:42:10.880
So yeah, I'm just letting go of the perfection. Yeah, the perfection.

508
00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:19.840
I'm so proud of you. Wow. I really got it. Like I said, my cousin, there's two friends of mine

509
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:25.360
that actually want more information and stuff, but it's going to be this, it's going to be the

510
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:31.120
nine. So I'm way, I'm way late, but it's, it's okay. I'm just going to do it anyway. It's,

511
00:42:31.120 --> 00:42:37.840
you know, I'm just going to do it and then I'll just get the feel of it and the momentum. And

512
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:44.960
then I'll just, that's all it is. I'll need to reset, like unplug for it. I mean, so yeah.

513
00:42:51.120 --> 00:42:54.960
Let me make an announcement. Let me see if it lets me make an announcement here.

514
00:42:54.960 --> 00:43:10.080
No, it's not going to let me. Okay.

515
00:43:10.560 --> 00:43:11.200
So

516
00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:23.920
Bev may not have figured out how to join the room. I'm guessing.

517
00:43:25.520 --> 00:43:32.560
Which one was Bev? She's new. She's joined the group recently. She's actually a therapist and

518
00:43:32.560 --> 00:43:38.160
a coach and yeah, she'll be great for you to meet, but I don't know what happened.

519
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:43.680
It's okay. I was on the airplane, on an airplane. So I'm just kind of,

520
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:49.120
I'm just going back home to visit my mom and my boyfriend, but.

521
00:43:53.600 --> 00:43:57.760
Then I could have hooked you differently because there's three in another room,

522
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:02.320
but it's too late to move everybody. Well, I got the best one. I got the group.

523
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:08.640
I so appreciate you sister. And I'm so excited that you're doing this.

524
00:44:08.640 --> 00:44:12.400
Oh yeah. It's so time and I'm really letting God do it.

525
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:19.200
Like repetition on all sources. So you reach out to them by text, you reach out to them by email,

526
00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:24.000
you reach out to them on social media and direct messaging. I mean, you've seen me model.

527
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:33.360
There's something many times to show up. Right. Yeah. So that's the key is just repeat, repeat,

528
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:37.840
repeat. I thought about hiring Carolyn Beck. I'm just going to do the generic 10,

529
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:44.960
talk to message 10 people a day and follow up. And sure. That's all it is, is talking to people.

530
00:44:45.600 --> 00:44:48.240
Right. That's all it is.

531
00:44:56.640 --> 00:44:59.840
Okay. I'm going to close.

532
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:20.200
is out the rooms here. See if the group I don't know. Out of

533
00:45:20.200 --> 00:45:27.000
my room. Hello, are we in a room? We're all together,

534
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:39.320
ladies. So let me. There we go. And every is I think

535
00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:43.720
everybody's back. Not sure. No, not quite. My team was not

536
00:45:43.720 --> 00:45:47.360
back. I got somehow I got kicked out. You got kicked out.

537
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:48.920
Okay. Yeah, but it's okay.

538
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:53.560
I never landed in a room. So I

539
00:45:53.560 --> 00:45:57.320
well, you were there, but you didn't join Bev. So Victoria was

540
00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:03.480
all by herself waiting for you. So maybe in the chat right now,

541
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:08.440
Victoria, you and Bev can exchange information. Okay. And

542
00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:11.280
you guys could have a call and get to know each other. Because

543
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:14.240
yeah, Victoria wrote me in a panic that she was all by

544
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:21.600
herself because you never joined the room. Okay. Okay. Ladies,

545
00:46:21.600 --> 00:46:28.760
can I see you? Do we have everyone? Put your cameras on

546
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:32.160
so I know you're back. I can't tell if you're back or not.

547
00:46:32.160 --> 00:46:53.800
Okay. Everybody back? All right. I'm going to read a little

548
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:58.000
something just to close us out. Oh, it looks like Kate got

549
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:03.960
bummed out too. Okay. All right. I'm just going to read

550
00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:06.560
something real quick to close this out. Something to think

551
00:47:06.560 --> 00:47:12.360
about. All right. I just love this. I got this if Bill Harris

552
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:24.040
wrote, wrote this issue and it came by by email. So just kind

553
00:47:24.040 --> 00:47:27.440
of listen and we'll close out with this, especially Maggie

554
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.080
what's going on in your world. I love this. This is what made

555
00:47:30.080 --> 00:47:34.000
me think about it. So insert your name. I'll just say

556
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:41.880
beautiful sister. Let whatever happens, be okay. This is

557
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:44.800
principle number one of the nine principles for conscious

558
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:49.520
living. That Centerpoint founder Bill Harris, as the core

559
00:47:49.520 --> 00:47:55.360
principles behind the coaching that they do there. So here is

560
00:47:56.240 --> 00:48:01.840
here is the skipping ahead to do this. All right. The truth is

561
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:04.840
this wisdom is harder to implement into your life than

562
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.880
you might think. Because when things don't go our way, when

563
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:13.440
life deals us a hand that's out of control, our first instinct

564
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:19.400
is to say this is not okay. So how can we let whatever happens

565
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:23.680
be okay, even when the outcome is something we really don't

566
00:48:23.680 --> 00:48:29.720
want or dislike? So Bill has the answer. So this is what he

567
00:48:29.720 --> 00:48:34.840
says. Do you find yourself sometimes or often at the mercy

568
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:39.000
of anger, resentment, stress or jealousy? Let's be honest with

569
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:43.080
ourselves and each other. Of course you do. Nearly everyone

570
00:48:43.080 --> 00:48:46.840
on earth has these feelings from time to time. But I'm here to

571
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:50.560
tell you that you do not have to live at the mercy of your

572
00:48:50.560 --> 00:48:55.920
emotions. With enough awareness you can choose to filter your

573
00:48:55.920 --> 00:49:01.600
experiences through any emotion including joy, acceptance, and

574
00:49:01.600 --> 00:49:08.040
or gratitude. Does that sound impossible? Unlikely at best. It

575
00:49:08.040 --> 00:49:13.760
doesn't happen overnight. But it does happen with enough

576
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:18.640
practice, stillness of mind and awareness. This notion of

577
00:49:18.640 --> 00:49:22.360
letting whatever happens be okay, is the first of my nine

578
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.800
principles of conscious living. It sets the foundation for

579
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:29.240
living a life that is more enriched, happy and fulfilling

580
00:49:29.240 --> 00:49:35.880
than you might possibly imagine. So the key is, let whatever

581
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:42.520
happens be okay. Three rules that govern the world created

582
00:49:42.520 --> 00:49:48.160
by our rule number one, everything changes and

583
00:49:48.160 --> 00:49:51.920
eventually passes away. Rule number two, sometimes you don't

584
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:55.800
get what you want. Rule number three, sometimes you get what

585
00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:00.080
you don't want. You can approach these rules in one of two ways.

586
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.200
is the first way is to resist them, fight against them.

587
00:50:04.200 --> 00:50:08.640
When you resist change, you can experience unpleasant emotions

588
00:50:08.640 --> 00:50:10.080
and physical symptoms.

589
00:50:10.080 --> 00:50:13.280
You get angry, become stressed, anxious, fearful.

590
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:14.960
You might even behave in ways that

591
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:18.280
have unpleasant consequences.

592
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:21.840
Wanting things to be different from what they really are

593
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.040
is like beating your head against a wall.

594
00:50:25.040 --> 00:50:27.720
Stop fuming, fussing, and suffering.

595
00:50:27.720 --> 00:50:30.320
It is what it is.

596
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:32.880
The secret way to approach the three rules

597
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:35.800
is to let whatever happens be OK.

598
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:37.640
You can accept what is.

599
00:50:37.640 --> 00:50:42.600
You may prefer that things not change and pass away.

600
00:50:42.600 --> 00:50:45.160
You may wish you would get what you want

601
00:50:45.160 --> 00:50:46.880
or not get what you don't want.

602
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:51.680
You might take action to change things or keep them the same.

603
00:50:51.680 --> 00:50:55.400
But if you don't succeed, you can accept what is.

604
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:58.840
And so anyway, it goes through.

605
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:01.760
I'll send you the whole article because it's very thorough.

606
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.880
It's not that we're not taking steps

607
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:09.720
to continuously seek the Lord and do what he calls us to do.

608
00:51:09.720 --> 00:51:14.240
But it's that every step of the way, we're not in resistance.

609
00:51:14.240 --> 00:51:18.640
We're in a place of knowing, Romans 8, 28,

610
00:51:18.640 --> 00:51:21.560
that everything is working together for our good,

611
00:51:21.560 --> 00:51:25.600
that God is on the throne, and that this too,

612
00:51:25.600 --> 00:51:28.240
even when it's unpleasant or I don't like it

613
00:51:28.240 --> 00:51:30.640
or it's uncomfortable, is all part

614
00:51:30.640 --> 00:51:33.120
of the divine tapestry of my life.

615
00:51:33.120 --> 00:51:35.360
And I can welcome it with gratitude.

616
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:37.920
And I can say, what's the lesson here?

617
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.280
What's the blessing here?

618
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:41.560
What do I need to bless?

619
00:51:41.560 --> 00:51:42.800
What do I need to forgive?

620
00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:45.960
What do I just need to allow without resisting?

621
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:46.920
Because it is.

622
00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:47.880
It already is.

623
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:53.240
Resisting what is accomplishes nothing, right?

624
00:51:53.240 --> 00:51:58.280
And so anyway, I want to leave the thought that just says,

625
00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:01.320
when you let whatever happens be OK,

626
00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:04.640
you're independent of the outcome

627
00:52:04.640 --> 00:52:09.640
and can experience happiness and inner peace regardless.

628
00:52:09.640 --> 00:52:14.360
You remain solidly peaceful and happy.

629
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:17.120
Whether you try to change things or not,

630
00:52:17.120 --> 00:52:21.680
allow yourself to accept whatever happens, it's OK.

631
00:52:21.680 --> 00:52:25.000
I will remain happy and peaceful.

632
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:27.440
The amount a person suffers in their life

633
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.080
is directly related to how much they

634
00:52:30.080 --> 00:52:33.680
are resisting the fact that things are the way

635
00:52:33.680 --> 00:52:35.280
that they are.

636
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:39.640
This has got to be one of the key secrets of human wisdom.

637
00:52:39.640 --> 00:52:42.240
If there's suffering or discomfort,

638
00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:46.120
there's resistance to the way things are.

639
00:52:46.120 --> 00:52:47.720
Period.

640
00:52:47.720 --> 00:52:52.120
To master this principle, addictions or attachments

641
00:52:52.120 --> 00:52:54.680
to things being other than they are

642
00:52:54.680 --> 00:52:58.640
must be upgraded to preferences.

643
00:52:58.640 --> 00:53:04.600
That means that when what is is not what you want,

644
00:53:04.600 --> 00:53:08.520
you do not suffer it over or get angry or fearful or anxious

645
00:53:08.520 --> 00:53:09.560
or so on.

646
00:53:09.560 --> 00:53:11.400
And your happiness and inner peace

647
00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:15.040
are therefore not controlled by forces outside of you.

648
00:53:15.040 --> 00:53:19.040
You prefer things to be such and so,

649
00:53:19.040 --> 00:53:22.440
but you're not attached to them being that way.

650
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.520
To the degree a person is willing and able to let

651
00:53:25.520 --> 00:53:29.200
whatever happens be OK, they do not suffer.

652
00:53:29.200 --> 00:53:30.840
It's as simple as that.

653
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:36.160
People with many rules about how things are supposed to be

654
00:53:36.160 --> 00:53:37.720
suffer more.

655
00:53:37.720 --> 00:53:41.120
Because no matter how much care they

656
00:53:41.120 --> 00:53:44.000
take to protect their rules and see

657
00:53:44.040 --> 00:53:46.720
that they are followed both by themselves and others,

658
00:53:46.720 --> 00:53:49.600
these rules are often violated.

659
00:53:49.600 --> 00:53:52.840
That doesn't mean a person can't be goal-oriented and work

660
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:56.040
toward making things the way they want them to be.

661
00:53:56.040 --> 00:53:58.280
But the emotionally healthy person

662
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:03.200
prefers the outcomes they seek rather than being emotionally

663
00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:05.080
attached to it.

664
00:54:05.080 --> 00:54:08.600
That means they work toward what they desire,

665
00:54:08.600 --> 00:54:12.600
but whatever the outcome, they maintain their equanimity

666
00:54:12.600 --> 00:54:14.640
and inner peace.

667
00:54:14.640 --> 00:54:18.400
This approach, then, is not fatalism or disinterest

668
00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:20.920
in the outcome, but rather it's a decision

669
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:25.200
to not let the outcome throw you off center.

670
00:54:25.200 --> 00:54:27.960
I'll stop there, but I pray that has blessed you.

671
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.160
I'm looking forward to seeing you on Thursday

672
00:54:31.160 --> 00:54:32.680
for office hours.

673
00:54:32.680 --> 00:54:36.600
Mark your calendar for Jumpstart Year 2025

674
00:54:36.600 --> 00:54:39.200
starting on the 27th, 9 AM.

675
00:54:39.200 --> 00:54:40.920
I love you, sisters.

676
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:43.520
I've just been such a joy to be here with you.

677
00:54:43.520 --> 00:54:45.600
God bless you.
