00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.640
OK, so let's talk about three ways in which you can grow your business, and this is a

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:11.540
whole new module.

3
00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:16.760
And you know, what we're after here is in this is the idea that everybody understands

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.060
the economics of the business.

5
00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:25.380
And what I've learned is that there really are only three major ways you can grow a business.

6
00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:30.940
And if everybody understands what you're doing, and you don't have to just implement

7
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:37.700
one of them, but when everyone understands how you make money and how they fit in, that

8
00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:39.900
empowers them to act like owners.

9
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:44.280
If you keep that kind of information away from your team, what happens?

10
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:50.260
It's much more difficult to buy in, to share, to lead their own contribution.

11
00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:57.020
So let's talk about, you know, the key thing that is driving the sense of ownership for

12
00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:01.380
a lot of people is feeling like they're part of it, feeling like they belong, even if they

13
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:05.980
don't quote have shares in the business, they still feel a sense of ownership in the business.

14
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:12.080
So we're going to talk about you can grow your business by 10%, 100% or 10x.

15
00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:13.080
So I made them all 10s.

16
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:16.140
Now, obviously, when I mean 10%, I'm talking 10 to 20%.

17
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:24.300
And the way you get a 10 to 20% lift is process, focus on the process, improve your processes,

18
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:29.940
cut out steps, outsource things, you know, cut costs.

19
00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:34.260
But that's why you can never cut, you know, cut costs or cut your way or budget your way

20
00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:35.940
to success.

21
00:01:35.940 --> 00:01:38.100
And at some point, you have to have revenue.

22
00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:43.660
And so 10 easy way to get 10x is just to make it better improve your customer service, refine

23
00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:47.980
your sales processes, whatever your different parts of the business are.

24
00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:51.300
There's a 20, 10 to 20% lying there for you.

25
00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:52.300
Pretty easy.

26
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:56.240
Most cases, that's pretty low hanging fruit for most companies.

27
00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:57.940
The next idea of 100% growth.

28
00:01:57.940 --> 00:02:00.860
So how are you going to double your revenue?

29
00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:05.400
And the key way there is to add a new product or a new service.

30
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.100
So you can't just milk the existing business to get where you need to be.

31
00:02:10.100 --> 00:02:15.020
If it took you 100 transactions to pulling what you're doing, you can improve those transactions

32
00:02:15.020 --> 00:02:19.020
and get your 10 to 20%, you know, process growth.

33
00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:24.060
But if you really want to double the business, you need something new, something fresh.

34
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:30.300
And it's amazing to me how oftentimes we're chasing new customers when people who are

35
00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:33.860
our raving fans are willing to give us more money.

36
00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:35.060
They love what we do.

37
00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:36.060
They're all in.

38
00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:37.820
They're like, what else have you got?

39
00:02:37.820 --> 00:02:41.740
And we're too busy selling the small ticket item because we're not focused on the bigger

40
00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:43.180
ticket items.

41
00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:50.020
And when we say new product, often, you know, if you think of the pyramid of fandom, and

42
00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:53.300
someone's going to remind me in a second who called it that.

43
00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:57.340
But the pyramid of fandom is you've got your lower ticket items at the bottom, and you're

44
00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:58.460
slowly building up.

45
00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:02.540
And as people are being introduced to your community and slowly becoming up to raving

46
00:03:02.540 --> 00:03:06.280
fans, your big ticket items sit at the top.

47
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.360
And one of the big mistakes we make as a business is we don't start at the top.

48
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.040
We try and start at the bottom and work up.

49
00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:16.440
And so this is one of the easy growth points for us.

50
00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:19.560
You know, the next thing is to look at 10x growth.

51
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.160
And here's where we're going to spend most of our time.

52
00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:24.440
So here's where we need to pivot.

53
00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:26.480
We need to reimagine the business.

54
00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:30.280
We need to step into a new possibility.

55
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.080
And I want to talk about why 10x actually is much kinder to your mind than the other

56
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.520
two.

57
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.560
And it may sound a contradiction.

58
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.240
And if you love this sort of thing, you know, one of the guys that I love to follow is Dan

59
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.240
Sullivan.

60
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.200
He has a great book called 10x is easier than 2x.

61
00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:51.960
And some of the materials there if you want further reference.

62
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.200
But today, I'm just going to focus on the core ideas of 10x.

63
00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.440
So yeah, we can process get 10%, we can add new product 500% or we can pivot to look for

64
00:04:03.440 --> 00:04:05.480
that 10x growth.

65
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:11.600
Now the reason is and why 10x is, you know, when most people hear 10x is like, no, I can't

66
00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:12.600
do that.

67
00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:15.320
And there's a reason you have that response.

68
00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:19.880
Firstly, we go to the first two options, you know, process and adding new product.

69
00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:24.360
But they are for the most part, you know, they're healthy, but they're not that inspiring.

70
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.920
You know, if a new product could be inspiring.

71
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:33.280
But fixing processes, I don't know about you, but I don't find that particularly inspiring.

72
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:34.760
And here's why.

73
00:04:34.760 --> 00:04:38.080
Because if you're looking at 2x, let's double our business.

74
00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:42.840
You're thinking along the lines of well, let's go back to it took 100 transactions to pull

75
00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:44.280
this off.

76
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:46.720
Now you're saying I have to do 200 transactions.

77
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.080
Oh, my goodness, do you have any idea how hard it was to do the 100?

78
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:52.440
And now you want me to double that?

79
00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:53.680
I'm exhausted right now.

80
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.720
I'm discouraged already, you know, I don't even want to get into that.

81
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.040
And so that because

82
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.440
Here's the reason why, and Dan Sullivan does a great job of explaining the psychology of

83
00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:09.440
why we feel discouraged and exhausted.

84
00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:12.680
It's because 2X makes you look to your past.

85
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:17.140
Right now I just said I looked to last year and said we did 100 transactions.

86
00:05:17.140 --> 00:05:19.720
Now you're asking me to do 200 transactions.

87
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:27.160
What's happening here is my past is negotiating with me about my future, and that's why there's

88
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.040
no excitement in this.

89
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:34.080
It's like I'm trying to say, okay, well, how would I take that 100 and what would I do

90
00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:35.640
to my team?

91
00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:43.200
And so the 2X and the process stuff is largely uninspiring because it feels exhausting.

92
00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:50.400
Because it feels like I'm thinking about the direct correlation, the effort it took me

93
00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:56.040
to produce that 100, those 100 transactions, and now I have to double that effort.

94
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.960
And here's the interesting thing, you don't have to double that effort.

95
00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:06.040
And why 10X inspires us so much is, well, firstly, we're not talking about necessarily

96
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.120
in 12 months, but think for a second.

97
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.640
Just take a minute here.

98
00:06:10.640 --> 00:06:15.480
If you added a zero, you found the missing zero, you 10Xed your business.

99
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.460
Let's start with the easy one, revenue.

100
00:06:18.460 --> 00:06:25.080
If you had 10X the revenue and you knew that you knew that you knew this was going to happen

101
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.000
this year, in the next 12 months, how would you lead?

102
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.680
How would you think?

103
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.320
What kind of customers would you take on?

104
00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:37.400
You see, immediately it becomes exciting, right?

105
00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:40.860
Because it creates energy and it engages our imagination.

106
00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:42.200
We start dreaming again.

107
00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:43.880
Oh my goodness, we could...

108
00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:48.880
And you start to think about your purpose and is this what I want to spend my time doing?

109
00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:53.880
And again, it's not just about the money, but what 10X does for us is it opens up a

110
00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:55.080
new territory.

111
00:06:55.080 --> 00:06:56.080
Why?

112
00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:05.560
Because now our future is presenting us with an entirely new possibility that our past

113
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.860
can't comment on.

114
00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:11.440
You've just freed yourself from your past.

115
00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:15.960
And what you've done is you've also freed your present from the past.

116
00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:19.920
Because there's nothing that you can look back on and say, oh, we can leverage this,

117
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.980
we can tweak that, we can...

118
00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:23.480
You don't have anything.

119
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.820
So you have to re-imagine.

120
00:07:25.820 --> 00:07:30.060
So now suddenly we're re-engaging our dream machine.

121
00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:36.380
And then we start asking our team, what if we could actually do 10X?

122
00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:40.100
We did this exercise in our company last December.

123
00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:43.180
And it was amazing how people stepped into it.

124
00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:46.340
And you would think, well, people would be upset by that.

125
00:07:46.340 --> 00:07:47.340
They're not.

126
00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:51.820
People love the idea that we could actually pull this off.

127
00:07:51.820 --> 00:07:54.960
It really does release energy and creativity.

128
00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:57.280
Look, here's the bottom line.

129
00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:02.440
As a leader, as an executive specifically, but as a leader, and we're talking about being

130
00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:09.280
a team of leaders, so that means this applies to everybody in the team listening to this,

131
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:12.080
you can only be great at a few things.

132
00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:13.600
Three at best.

133
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:19.960
So Dan talks about it as your circle of excellence or your circle of competence.

134
00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:22.440
And he says, stay in your circle.

135
00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:24.820
What is your circle of competence?

136
00:08:24.820 --> 00:08:28.300
And then shrink your circle to three things.

137
00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:34.059
Because the more stuff that's in that circle, the more competence dilution that you have.

138
00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:35.100
What does that mean?

139
00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:42.260
It means that you are not as effective as you think you are over a large, broad thing.

140
00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:49.180
So that means you have to find stuff that is actually 2X to you and find team members

141
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.000
who find that as a 10X.

142
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.840
Maybe accounting isn't your thing, but you can do it.

143
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.240
But now you're finding someone, that's their 10X.

144
00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.240
That's the thing.

145
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.520
That's in their circle of competence.

146
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:07.160
That circle, those three things, it fits for them, but not for you.

147
00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:10.240
And then your job is eliminate everything else.

148
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.780
And this sounds like a great talk until you actually start to do this.

149
00:09:15.780 --> 00:09:26.880
So here's, you know, 10X is inspiring, 10X is full of purpose, 2X is just stuff.

150
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:29.520
So how do we delete stuff?

151
00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:33.840
So finding your 10X, here are a couple of key questions.

152
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:40.280
You know, ask yourself, what would permanently fascinate and motivate you?

153
00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:41.280
Permanently.

154
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:42.280
Not once or twice.

155
00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:43.280
Are you intrigued?

156
00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:45.140
Not being intrigued a bit.

157
00:09:45.140 --> 00:09:47.500
But what would captivate you?

158
00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:51.260
What would permanently fascinate and motivate you?

159
00:09:51.260 --> 00:09:54.660
Several of you might be in a transition as a business.

160
00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:59.900
This is a great question, not just to ask as the main leader, but everyone in the organization.

161
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:09.640
And here's what it is, because there's more to life than simply making money, getting

162
00:10:09.640 --> 00:10:11.240
stuff done.

163
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.640
And the reason is that 10x engages your heart and your mind.

164
00:10:15.640 --> 00:10:19.320
2x generally engages your mind.

165
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.080
And your heart's very good at making space for your mind.

166
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:27.400
It's where your creativity is, it's where your strategy is, where your imagination is,

167
00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:30.240
where you're thinking at a higher level, at a higher order.

168
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.760
So let's talk about a couple of practical things quickly and land the plane here.

169
00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:39.280
So here are some practical things that I've learned that have really, really helped me.

170
00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:44.200
And so you'd have to decide this competence thing, what is your fight?

171
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.520
Think of it as a fight, right?

172
00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:48.160
You're bringing some contribution to the world.

173
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:52.740
Let's call that your fight, or your focus if you like, if you don't like the aggressive

174
00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:54.520
nature of the word fight.

175
00:10:54.520 --> 00:10:59.740
But it's helpful to me to think about a fight because having spent time in the military,

176
00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:03.180
you can't fight wars on every single front.

177
00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:04.780
You would just lose.

178
00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:08.940
So you have to decide, where is my fight?

179
00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:17.100
And then as a leader, you have to craft a positive, hopeful narrative about that fight

180
00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:20.700
in that area, in your area of excellence.

181
00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:26.160
So whatever it is you're doing, whatever your business is, you're projecting into your

182
00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:32.320
industry, to your customers, to your clients, to your team, a positive, hopeful narrative

183
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.440
full of future possibilities.

184
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.440
It can't be we just fix problems, we fix this issue.

185
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.920
It has to be something, a narrative of hope.

186
00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:49.840
And so the second thing is, as an individual, you need to decide what does 10x mean, what

187
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.300
does the word x mean?

188
00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:53.260
What are you 10xing?

189
00:11:53.260 --> 00:11:56.980
Could be as simple as you want to 10x your confidence.

190
00:11:56.980 --> 00:12:02.060
You know, you want to 10x the number of customers you're reaching, you want to 10x your revenue,

191
00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:04.060
or 10x your time.

192
00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:10.100
You know, Dan tells a story of a guy who heard all this training, an executive, and he decided

193
00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:11.860
well, he wanted to 10x his time.

194
00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:16.420
So he said, all right, well, that instead of taking, you know, I want to do, I want

195
00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:20.240
to have the same revenue, but for two months in a year.

196
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.760
I want to make exactly the same money, but I want to 10x my time, now I want to do it

197
00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:25.760
in two months.

198
00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:28.600
Now, theoretically, it's not quite 10x, I get the math.

199
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.640
But the concept is clear.

200
00:12:31.640 --> 00:12:34.800
Took him a couple of years, because again, it doesn't actually have to happen in a 12

201
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:35.800
month period.

202
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:39.680
But when he hit that 10x, then, you know, they asked him, what do you want to do now?

203
00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:42.560
He says, now I want to do it in three days.

204
00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:49.780
So he's making the same money he was in three days, because for him, 10x meant not just

205
00:12:49.780 --> 00:12:54.620
his time, but to be able to spend time traveling, be with his family, and do the things that

206
00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:55.620
he loves.

207
00:12:55.620 --> 00:13:00.620
You know, and so if you've got a nonprofit passion or something else, that would free

208
00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:04.460
up your time to go and do that idea.

209
00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:08.300
You know, over the years, as we've worked with leaders, there are a couple of things

210
00:13:08.300 --> 00:13:09.980
that I found.

211
00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:11.960
They're so simple.

212
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.320
And I'm not sure why they're not the most obvious things.

213
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.880
And the first one is, if you're going to, if you're going to focus on one thing, you

214
00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:23.120
need to put aside all other fights.

215
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:29.160
Now, Marcus Aurelius once said, exercise your right not to have an opinion on things you

216
00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:31.280
don't control.

217
00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:32.580
And I love that.

218
00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:36.560
Because what that is saying is we all want opinions about politics and about this and

219
00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:40.640
what's going on there and social issues and this issue and that issue.

220
00:13:40.640 --> 00:13:43.020
And that drains energy.

221
00:13:43.020 --> 00:13:44.020
It's just stuff.

222
00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:49.180
Now, if that's your fight, if that is really your fight, if you're focused on that, then

223
00:13:49.180 --> 00:13:51.020
go and do that.

224
00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:56.660
But honestly, jumping on spending hours on social media and spending time, it's just

225
00:13:56.660 --> 00:13:57.660
stuff.

226
00:13:57.660 --> 00:14:01.780
Look, your 9 to 5 job is not what's holding you back.

227
00:14:01.780 --> 00:14:06.520
It's all the wasted social media focusing on fights, trying to develop an opinion.

228
00:14:06.520 --> 00:14:08.920
Well, I just want to stay informed.

229
00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:11.280
You know, I had to come to that conclusion.

230
00:14:11.280 --> 00:14:12.680
I just want to be a news junkie.

231
00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:13.680
I want to stay informed.

232
00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:18.760
It's not a reason to keep 2X activities alive.

233
00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:22.400
And that's about as practical as I can be for a leader.

234
00:14:22.400 --> 00:14:23.560
Get rid of the stuff.

235
00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:24.800
Well, how do you know it's stuff?

236
00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:27.000
Well, it drains energy.

237
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.440
Someone else can do it better.

238
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.340
And that's even relationships that are going nowhere.

239
00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:34.820
So here's a quick exercise for you.

240
00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:40.560
Why don't you write down 3 stuff things that you need to shed?

241
00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:42.940
What 3 things could you shed straight away?

242
00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:49.480
These are things that drain energy, someone else can do them better, and relationships

243
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.180
that are going nowhere.

244
00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:56.740
So activities that you shouldn't be involved in.

245
00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:58.760
Now here's an interesting exercise.

246
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.320
You can do the opposite, right?

247
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.640
What activates or creates energy in you when you do that thing?

248
00:15:07.640 --> 00:15:12.800
We've talked in previous trainings about this, that when you do the thing, you come alive

249
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:18.740
because you're energized, you have more energy after the event than before you started.

250
00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.980
So what creates movement for you?

251
00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:25.400
What makes you feel you're making progress in your life?

252
00:15:25.400 --> 00:15:28.480
What do you find inspiring?

253
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:35.400
So in an interesting exercise, my wife, Bridget, and I sat down and we did this exercise together.

254
00:15:35.400 --> 00:15:37.760
Now we've all done previous training about the hats.

255
00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:40.000
You remember about switching hats, right?

256
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:46.880
So we both took off our husband-wife hats, respectively, and we put on our coach hat.

257
00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:52.240
And so in that hat, remember that that means we're not related, we're not married, we're

258
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.800
not in business together, we're just being the coach.

259
00:15:55.800 --> 00:16:01.320
And then, you know, Bridget shared with me all the 2x stuff that in the next 90 days

260
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:06.440
I need to shed and one thing I need to 10x.

261
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:12.520
So we picked three things, you know, bits of stuff that we had to get rid of.

262
00:16:12.520 --> 00:16:17.320
And the rule was you weren't allowed to respond or argue or defend yourself or anything.

263
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.560
You were just allowed to take notes.

264
00:16:19.560 --> 00:16:21.720
And then we switched roles.

265
00:16:21.760 --> 00:16:26.360
And what was really interesting about this is this idea of shedding works best if you

266
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.040
do it in a 90-day cycle.

267
00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:32.320
In other words, every 90 days, shed three things.

268
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.760
Every 90 days, shed three things.

269
00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:36.440
So guess what's going to happen?

270
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:42.400
A year from now, you're going to have 12 things that are out of your life, 12 bits of stuff

271
00:16:42.400 --> 00:16:44.200
you don't need.

272
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:49.920
And you would have improved four 10x elements in your life.

273
00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:54.840
So I want to make some just real practical things you may consider shedding.

274
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.600
Negative narratives.

275
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.960
Just stop agreeing with negativity.

276
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.240
Negativity doesn't build anything.

277
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.800
It takes absolutely no talent whatsoever to be negative about something.

278
00:17:04.800 --> 00:17:09.000
To find the problem is not a talent, you know, at all.

279
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:13.640
Coming up with a possibility to fix the problem, now that takes talent.

280
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.079
Judgments of other businesses or competitors.

281
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:22.520
And I love the story of, you know, Apple, when Apple launched their iPod, Microsoft

282
00:17:22.520 --> 00:17:25.240
had also introduced Zune.

283
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.320
And I remember one late night comedian saying, you know, he was talking about Apple just

284
00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:34.360
sold a million iPods, and in other news, somebody bought a Zune.

285
00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:38.760
You know, so when you think about that, it was hilarious at the time.

286
00:17:38.760 --> 00:17:44.720
And, you know, I just think that when we, here's the interesting thing.

287
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:50.680
Apple did not care that their iPod had far less features than Zune.

288
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:55.600
Zune was a superior product at one point, and it was very obvious because they weren't

289
00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:56.600
looking at that.

290
00:17:56.600 --> 00:17:58.000
They weren't making judgments.

291
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.480
They weren't playing the game against Microsoft.

292
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.260
Apple was playing a game against themselves.

293
00:18:04.260 --> 00:18:07.400
Have you ever listened to their product announcements?

294
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.840
This is the best iPhone we've ever had.

295
00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:13.220
Maybe a terrible iPhone, but it's the best one they've ever had.

296
00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:17.680
In other words, what are they doing is they're using themselves as the reference.

297
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.840
Can we be better?

298
00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:20.000
Can we do it better?

299
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.000
They are themselves.

300
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.800
They're not like, oh, we're going to be number one.

301
00:18:22.800 --> 00:18:23.800
We're going to do...

302
00:18:23.800 --> 00:18:24.800
There is no...

303
00:18:24.800 --> 00:18:30.880
In this structure, it's about you stepping in and 10x-ing yourself.

304
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:35.600
You know, I really caution, again, unhealthy political engagement, unless, again, that's

305
00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:36.600
your...

306
00:18:36.600 --> 00:18:37.600
You feel that's your thing.

307
00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:38.600
Sure.

308
00:18:38.600 --> 00:18:39.600
Be informed.

309
00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:40.600
Make your decisions.

310
00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:41.600
Vote.

311
00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:42.600
Do your civil duty.

312
00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:44.000
And then focus on your fight.

313
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.000
Focus on your thing.

314
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.760
And, you know, excessive media consumption, just drop the news junkie thing.

315
00:18:49.760 --> 00:18:52.280
I've seen so many people, so I don't have time for that.

316
00:18:52.280 --> 00:18:57.560
But when you look at their tech, they're spending eight to 10 hours a week on nothing.

317
00:18:57.560 --> 00:19:03.480
And so, I wanted to share that with you and, you know, go through the basic thing.

318
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:09.960
You can do 10x, because 10x frees your present to think about your future.

319
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.840
And I hope you found this inspiring as I did.

320
00:19:13.840 --> 00:19:15.840
Thanks.

321
00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:17.840
Okay.

322
00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:21.720
I had to do that as a separate training.

323
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.040
As you know, we'll post that piece for your team.

324
00:19:24.040 --> 00:19:27.440
Hence, no references to the Lord and so on in there.

325
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:28.440
But the...

326
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:32.000
Now we can talk and talk about what does that mean.

327
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:35.480
So let's weigh in a little bit.

328
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:40.120
Thoughts, ideas, questions around it.

329
00:19:40.120 --> 00:19:42.920
What gripped you as you were going through this?

330
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.200
You know, what did you feel the Lord, you know, prompt you in your heart and said, that

331
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.760
I want to spend more time thinking about that?

332
00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:53.960
I can speak, Jan, if I can go.

333
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:58.840
I'm just going to speak on the 10x, the heart and the mind versus the 2x, just the mind

334
00:19:58.840 --> 00:19:59.840
only.

335
00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:00.840
I love it.

336
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.440
Because I feel like that's where I am right now with the Lord and what he's shown me in

337
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:10.400
this whole business trend thing that I'm doing is forward thinking with him.

338
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:17.560
You know, he's shown me specific things and it's like, I'm already preparing in it now

339
00:20:17.560 --> 00:20:22.720
before I step into it and forward thinking, you know, as if I'm already there, you know,

340
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.040
so I love that.

341
00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:31.280
I think that's brilliant because it kind of accelerates you, I guess is the word that

342
00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:32.280
comes to me.

343
00:20:32.280 --> 00:20:34.920
Yeah, it does accelerate you.

344
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:42.440
In fact, we're doing a whole talk at Brilliance 25 on what heart learning is.

345
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.960
And by heart, we're not talking about emotions, we're talking about your spirit, but upstairs

346
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.960
learning.

347
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.120
Here's the fascinating thing.

348
00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:53.920
Upstairs learning automatically includes downstairs learning.

349
00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:57.360
The Bible calls that renewing your mind.

350
00:20:57.360 --> 00:21:02.840
So the mind cannot make space for the heart, but the heart always makes space for the mind.

351
00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:08.440
That's why if you meet very intellectual, heady people, when you listen to all the arguments,

352
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:11.680
all very beautifully put together, fantastic philosophy, and what you end up at the end

353
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.520
is a very small possibility to live into.

354
00:21:14.520 --> 00:21:16.200
It's like, really, that's it?

355
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.280
That's what you got after all that work?

356
00:21:18.280 --> 00:21:22.160
You know, I spoke to a philosopher recently, Christian philosopher, lecturer, travels

357
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.960
the world, and so on.

358
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:25.080
Love the guy.

359
00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:28.080
And I said to him, but after all that, what's the invitation?

360
00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:31.160
Jesus always landed on a big invitation.

361
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:32.160
Same in business.

362
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.200
10X is such a kingdom idea, isn't it?

363
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:40.820
Because what it's saying is you can't just think about it from the mind.

364
00:21:40.820 --> 00:21:44.960
You have to think about it, it has to engage your heart, your spirit, my purpose, why am

365
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.340
I doing this?

366
00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:47.800
Is it part of our yoke, Lord?

367
00:21:47.800 --> 00:21:49.920
Do we have permission?

368
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:56.720
And so what it does is, here's what I've learned, upstairs thinking not only creates

369
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.240
downstairs thinking, it renews your mind, heals your heart, that's why you can say,

370
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.720
do not fear, right?

371
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.640
It gets rid of fear, gets rid of doubt, which we talked about earlier, gets rid of all the

372
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.440
negative emotions, and at the same time, it inspires your will.

373
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.680
So upstairs learning, that's what Jesus said, and learn from me.

374
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.520
He didn't just think about stuff about me.

375
00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:24.560
Learn the 10 attributes of God's nature, fine.

376
00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:29.920
But downstairs learning, water doesn't flow uphill.

377
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:31.040
And I love that.

378
00:22:31.040 --> 00:22:35.840
What a massive kingdom advantage is that, just saying.

379
00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:40.600
Yeah, I love that.

380
00:22:40.600 --> 00:22:48.000
Okay, guys, what else did you guys get out of this?

381
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.000
Jenny.

382
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:50.000
Yes.

383
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:57.600
I've heard this before, and you hear it in a fresh and a new way.

384
00:22:57.600 --> 00:23:02.640
I like where you talked about, from Dan Sullivan's training, that you can only be great at a

385
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:03.840
few things.

386
00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:08.320
And so finding your circle of excellence and staying in your circle.

387
00:23:08.320 --> 00:23:16.480
And that reminds me of what we do here, which is we teach the team to do just in time, not

388
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.880
just in case.

389
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:20.680
So you're doing things in the time that you need them.

390
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.720
You're not doing everything up front.

391
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:28.760
You're doing them as you need them, which to me correlates as information.

392
00:23:28.760 --> 00:23:33.200
You're not gathering all of this information that you're not going to use.

393
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.520
You are just in time.

394
00:23:35.520 --> 00:23:37.560
You're using what you need.

395
00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:41.520
You're finding out, you're learning in real time, and you're applying it, which leads

396
00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:43.420
to transformation.

397
00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:50.620
And so that leads into the 10x of what permanently fascinates and motivates me.

398
00:23:50.620 --> 00:23:55.800
And not only the permission that it gives you as a leader, but when you open that up

399
00:23:55.800 --> 00:24:01.180
to your team, the permission that it provides to them, and the creativity, as you said,

400
00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:05.640
and the innovation that's released in that time, but not only that, that it comes into

401
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:10.280
this trust culture because they feel safe to really explore.

402
00:24:10.280 --> 00:24:15.400
That's what we've heard the feedback from our team, is they feel safe to really explore

403
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:21.640
and to go and to make mistakes, to learn, and to just really go all out and encouraging

404
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:22.640
that.

405
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:27.440
And that leads to that easy and light, Matthew 11, 28, because in the kingdom, it is.

406
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:28.760
It's easy and light.

407
00:24:28.760 --> 00:24:34.600
And that's to me what 10x translates to as easy and light because I'm in my partnership

408
00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:35.600
with him.

409
00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:41.640
We're abiding as we're exploring this space that's before us.

410
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:47.920
And everything ties in together in home life, at work, everywhere you go.

411
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:55.040
So even at home, finding yourself saying, wait a minute, is this a 2x or a 10x solution?

412
00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:59.240
And so it opens that up to a possibility that you hadn't even considered before.

413
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:00.080
So I really love it.

414
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.400
love this teaching and finding those again, fresh and new this time around is I'm looking

415
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.200
forward to the exploration of that.

416
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:14.720
How's that Jenny, accelerated innovation in your team?

417
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:16.920
Holy smokes.

418
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:25.840
I mean, we've had team members go and create things over a weekend for fun, like a platform.

419
00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:32.000
We've had a team member go and create a platform for fun that actually turned into a new product

420
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.440
for us.

421
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:38.440
Right now we have a team member that is, as you were talking about this, I was thinking

422
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:42.140
about going in and organizing our notion board.

423
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:46.880
You know, that's something that I wanted to do, but, and there's a little bit of bumps

424
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:49.160
along the way, cause we're sorting it out.

425
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:55.280
But the fact that she felt the freedom to go in there and create a better workspace,

426
00:25:55.280 --> 00:26:02.120
not just for her, but for the whole team and in turn would serve our customers even

427
00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:06.360
better because we would all be in sync and have the same information and communicating

428
00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:08.640
the same information at all times.

429
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:15.160
And so the fact that she felt that she could go in and do that was such a permission, a

430
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.160
statement of permission that she's been given.

431
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.560
So that's just a couple of the examples.

432
00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:26.600
And who doesn't want to work in an environment where you get to do new stuff and get to achieve

433
00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:29.040
stuff you never imagined you were capable of?

434
00:26:29.040 --> 00:26:30.040
I love that.

435
00:26:30.040 --> 00:26:31.040
Yeah.

436
00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:32.480
Let's bring Ray in on the conversation there.

437
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.480
Thanks.

438
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.480
That's great, Jenny.

439
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:35.480
Thank you for sharing that.

440
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.480
Yeah.

441
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:37.480
Hey, Ray.

442
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:38.480
Hello again.

443
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:48.240
So, so yeah, just, you know, several months ago when I, you know, from BESOL, right when

444
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.000
it, I think it was from BESOL.

445
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:56.840
One of the questions that I heard from either you or Graham, it was, Lord, what are you

446
00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:59.600
creating for me and my business?

447
00:26:59.600 --> 00:27:02.200
And the word I got was freedom.

448
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:07.800
And at the time I was involved in several projects that, you know, I really wasn't that

449
00:27:07.800 --> 00:27:08.800
excited about.

450
00:27:08.800 --> 00:27:14.380
I wasn't really fired up about and, and, but now you fast forward, you know, several months

451
00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:19.460
and I'm now, I just so love every single minute of what I do and everything that's

452
00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:20.460
up.

453
00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:21.460
Like, I just, I just love it.

454
00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:30.620
And so for example, one area of genius is I know that I'm very good at coaching and,

455
00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:36.980
and so, you know, last night we did a, one of our coaching things and I went from 8 p.m.

456
00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:43.420
to past midnight and my only struggle with that, and I'm an early guy, I'm usually 4

457
00:27:43.460 --> 00:27:48.500
And, and so like past midnight, that's past Ray's bedtime usually.

458
00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:54.340
But my only struggle with last night was I was so fired up from it.

459
00:27:54.340 --> 00:27:57.940
I had to ask the Lord, please help me sleep, you know, thank you for helping me go to sleep

460
00:27:57.940 --> 00:28:00.740
because I was just fired up about all the breakthroughs and all the, you know, all the

461
00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:03.660
things that, that the Lord did in that meeting.

462
00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:08.700
And, and so I know I'm anointed in that, that fires me up.

463
00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:10.400
I can do it all the time.

464
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:15.920
There is, I don't even know what time it is when I finish and, and I love it.

465
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:23.080
However, only people that have been behind the paywall know that in me.

466
00:28:23.080 --> 00:28:26.080
And so we actually started a plan today.

467
00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:30.240
I reached out to, you know, some of the people that I coached last night and said, Hey, are

468
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.400
you okay if we lose, use our clip of me coaching you?

469
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.140
And they're like, absolutely.

470
00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:40.280
And so now it's, it's taken that super skill and how do I get it out to people that don't

471
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:46.440
that space or don't know that side of me and, you know, and, and leveraging that to do more

472
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:49.760
of what I'm, I feel I'm called to do and what I love to do.

473
00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:50.760
I love that.

474
00:28:50.760 --> 00:28:55.600
So Ray, what is, what does 10X mean as a coach?

475
00:28:55.600 --> 00:28:59.120
You are really coaching, because I've been on coaching calls with you.

476
00:28:59.120 --> 00:29:03.740
So I know, you know, we've done some training stuff together, but what does 10X mean for

477
00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:09.320
you as a coach in terms of your relationship with the Lord, the upstairs portion of that?

478
00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:18.840
Yeah, you know, God put me in an interesting, uncomfortable position a few months ago, in

479
00:29:18.840 --> 00:29:27.920
that I had a former client who's in a, she's an investor in a grass fed beef company.

480
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:31.640
And and she comes to me and she goes, I want these guys to work with you.

481
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.200
I'm trying to convince them to work with you.

482
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.680
And I'm like, okay, I kind of wasn't sure, you know, like, what I'm, you know, I don't

483
00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:42.000
know, I just wasn't sure if I was, am I gonna be able to add enough value?

484
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.000
And does this make sense?

485
00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.600
And, you know, it's not my niche at all.

486
00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:48.720
And, and so I get on with them.

487
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.280
And, and, you know, and I asked, I asked the Lord, like, Lord, should I meet with these

488
00:29:53.280 --> 00:29:54.280
guys?

489
00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:55.280
Yes.

490
00:29:55.280 --> 00:29:56.280
Okay.

491
00:29:56.280 --> 00:29:57.280
And so I meet with them.

492
00:29:57.280 --> 00:29:59.920
And in like, 45 minutes, I give them a completely

493
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.460
different way to do their brand, which I know is accurate, which I know is what

494
00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:05.660
they needed to hear.

495
00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:08.640
And so they offer me equity.

496
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:13.660
They offer me, um, you know, just to help them build the sales force, the

497
00:30:13.660 --> 00:30:15.360
affiliate force and everything.

498
00:30:15.620 --> 00:30:21.780
And so I think what, what 10 X is, uh, as a coach is just having either different

499
00:30:21.780 --> 00:30:24.060
equity or, or cashflow stream.

500
00:30:24.060 --> 00:30:26.940
That's not just associated with your time.

501
00:30:27.540 --> 00:30:31.620
And, and so I think if, if you're saying, you know, 10 X revenue, now I already

502
00:30:31.620 --> 00:30:33.120
have the 10 X happiness.

503
00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:34.360
Cause I just love it, man.

504
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.120
Like I would, I would do it whether they're paying or not.

505
00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:38.280
Like I would do all of this stuff, whether I was getting paid or not.

506
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.120
Um, and sometimes the Lord does call me to do it for free, you know, like, Hey,

507
00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:42.780
I want you to coach.

508
00:30:42.800 --> 00:30:46.280
He had me coach this marriage guy, a marriage counselor guy for free.

509
00:30:46.620 --> 00:30:52.840
And you know, so whatever he said as I do, but I think 10 X is more, um, as a

510
00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:58.620
coach, let me coach these people that the Lord leads me to and, and help them grow

511
00:30:58.620 --> 00:30:59.540
their, their income.

512
00:30:59.540 --> 00:31:02.820
And I guess some kind of cut or split or equity or something like that.

513
00:31:03.380 --> 00:31:04.260
Yeah, that's pretty good.

514
00:31:04.300 --> 00:31:09.620
I, you know, um, I was speaking to Jim the other day, who is obviously part of

515
00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:13.980
IANA Circle here, and, uh, he made the simple comment that, you know, it's be

516
00:31:13.980 --> 00:31:15.460
fruitful, then multiply.

517
00:31:16.020 --> 00:31:18.940
And I think a lot of times we want to multiply before we figured out how to

518
00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.860
make it fruitful.

519
00:31:20.360 --> 00:31:25.000
And I think that's a big, that's a huge jump forward is that the Lord is very

520
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.160
patient and kind.

521
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:32.440
So when we say 10 X, sometimes it's not 10 X in revenues, 10 X in you and how from

522
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.920
his viewpoint, he's always interested in you going into that new space.

523
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.840
It's like the Lord says, I'm so excited.

524
00:31:38.840 --> 00:31:41.280
I get to take you to be just like me.

525
00:31:41.280 --> 00:31:43.120
And we're focusing on this area.

526
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:48.120
So there's always a 10 X in you first upstairs before there's a 10 X downstairs.

527
00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:49.500
I love that.

528
00:31:49.540 --> 00:31:51.140
That is freeing.

529
00:31:51.180 --> 00:31:53.540
You know, it's like, I don't have to do it today.

530
00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:57.420
It's not like, you know, I have to add a zero to my revenue.

531
00:31:57.420 --> 00:32:03.100
Sometimes I just have to, you know, add a zero to my, my confidence in God, to my

532
00:32:03.100 --> 00:32:05.340
trust, 10 X, my trust, 10 X.

533
00:32:05.340 --> 00:32:09.260
So another way of looking at that, we could take that as an upstairs idea.

534
00:32:09.260 --> 00:32:10.980
Instead of saying, Hey Lord, what's the upgrade?

535
00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:15.220
Lord, what are you 10 X-ing in me to be more like you, right?

536
00:32:16.020 --> 00:32:16.980
That'd be cool.

537
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:18.360
Yeah.

538
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:23.160
Anyway, I, I, I'm excited about that because to me, I, when I first heard 10 X,

539
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.000
it just sounded, you know, kingdom as of, as you know, I've spent my life looking

540
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:31.560
for kingdom stuff, even if it comes from people who may or may not know the Lord.

541
00:32:31.560 --> 00:32:35.400
It doesn't matter to me, but then when we get it, we need to fix the language a

542
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:40.120
little bit because the word 10 X doesn't mean that much, but what's interesting

543
00:32:40.120 --> 00:32:45.160
is that we introduced this idea and I see Bridget, you have your hand up on, on

544
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:52.100
this, uh, I suspect, but, um, the, we introduced this to, to our, uh, community

545
00:32:52.100 --> 00:32:53.460
at the, uh, third act.

546
00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:58.220
So we ran a program in January called the third act for people who've come to that

547
00:32:58.220 --> 00:32:59.940
stage of their empty nested life.

548
00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:01.940
And they were saying, now it's rediscover your purpose.

549
00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:03.620
Leave with a plan was the idea.

550
00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:07.220
And then we, we asked them to jump on a call three weeks later.

551
00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:12.020
So each one got a prophetic word, which is great having Graham and the team, uh,

552
00:33:12.120 --> 00:33:17.280
Bridget, Teresa, um, and Graham, I was involved a bit on that, but then I did

553
00:33:17.280 --> 00:33:19.400
the group coaching and then we did all that stuff.

554
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:23.480
And three weeks later, we asked them, what has God asking you to 10 X?

555
00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:26.840
You know, it was, there were very few that picked revenue.

556
00:33:27.520 --> 00:33:30.360
Most of them took stuff like intimacy.

557
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.640
I want a 10 X, my worship, I want a 10 X.

558
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:38.280
And suddenly it just opened up the realm for them because the cool thing about

559
00:33:38.540 --> 00:33:42.500
10 X is it takes it out of the realm of the mind and puts it in the realm of the

560
00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:47.540
heart. That's what I love most about the exercise, you know, takes it upstairs.

561
00:33:48.060 --> 00:33:51.860
And a lot of people, well, you know, I'll just improve my worship and I'll add an

562
00:33:51.860 --> 00:33:56.300
extra five minutes to my, whatever, as opposed to, I want to become a radical

563
00:33:56.300 --> 00:33:57.700
worshiper. What is 10 X?

564
00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:59.420
So now I start dreaming with God.

565
00:33:59.420 --> 00:34:01.980
That's probably a 10 to 20 year journey right there.

566
00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:04.260
Just that one idea.

567
00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:06.700
So the kingdom is a vast place.

568
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.159
Yeah. Yeah.

569
00:34:08.560 --> 00:34:10.960
Also, Bridget, do you want to add something there?

570
00:34:15.560 --> 00:34:21.280
Sure, yeah, I was going to say that two things that I think the reason sometimes

571
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:25.480
people get stuck in the two X stuff in the day to day thing is that they don't know

572
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.920
their fight. And I think when I'm working with parents or I've worked with empty

573
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:33.320
nesters, they get stuck in things that have nothing to do with because they don't

574
00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:37.900
know what their fight is. And in the case of empty nesters, I think they end up

575
00:34:37.900 --> 00:34:42.300
becoming their kids, their grandchildren's nanny because they've got nothing else to

576
00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:44.780
do. They don't understand what their purpose is or their fight.

577
00:34:44.780 --> 00:34:46.340
So they just do whatever's there.

578
00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:52.420
But also, I think that helping to get rid of those two X things, having a coach or

579
00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:57.780
somebody that really will be that person to you like you and I did is helpful

580
00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:00.060
because sometimes you just make excuses.

581
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.880
yourself. You're like, well, I can do this because I kind of enjoy it. And it's not worth paying

582
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:09.120
somebody to do it for me. So you kind of talk yourself out of it. So I think having a coach

583
00:35:09.120 --> 00:35:13.840
that will be really honest with you, knowing what your goal is, it's very helpful. I think

584
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:19.120
you can't see it in perspective for yourself. And I mean, we don't mind sharing with you guys

585
00:35:19.120 --> 00:35:24.400
some of the conversation we had about that, you know, we'll do me because that's more exposing.

586
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.800
We can do that. And I mean, like one of the things in a bridge that I think you need to

587
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:33.600
connect your health. And I said, because I happen to be a very naturally healthy person. And I

588
00:35:33.600 --> 00:35:38.400
think, as you said, yeah, you're healthy until you're not. And then, you know, and so in that

589
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:45.680
situation, I just had to upgrade a whole bunch of things health wise, which has been amazing.

590
00:35:45.680 --> 00:35:51.920
I've been sleeping pretty solidly every night. I've, I've had great sleep, great exercise,

591
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:58.960
eating well, feel better, more energy. So that was helpful. But one of my pet ones I had to let

592
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:06.000
go of was I love, you know, it's in our DNA, because as I 49, being a restorer of desolate

593
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:11.600
inheritance, we like anything to restore, I will watch cars being restored, I'll watch anything

594
00:36:11.600 --> 00:36:17.680
being restored. And I love doing that, you know, because it's in our upstairs DNA. So we get it.

595
00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:24.240
So I know, for anyone who knows, you know, I love to do that for our cars, I keep our cars in,

596
00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:29.520
I buy a car, and it's, you know, you send it to the car wash and get free car, free scratching,

597
00:36:29.520 --> 00:36:35.600
you know, and, and then no, it's hand wash, you mean hand scratching, because they don't do all

598
00:36:35.600 --> 00:36:40.240
the things they're supposed to do. And so understanding the chemistry and all that stuff

599
00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:44.800
and getting the car into absence every few months, I bring it into perfection, you know, I mean,

600
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:52.560
it's like a mirror that and I love it. I love the restoration process. And I didn't love that my

601
00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:58.480
coach told me it's a 2x thing, it's got to go. And now it goes down the road for free hand

602
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:03.360
scratching, they put it in a bucket, use the same cloth, gather all that dirt, which turns

603
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:08.720
into light sandpaper, scratch, you know, the car up. And I said, All right, the deal was once a

604
00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:16.320
year, I'll spend 10 hours and just restore it, get it back to perfection. And so, you know, all that

605
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:22.080
I picked that as this is a simple but time consuming thing. And as Bridget points out,

606
00:37:22.080 --> 00:37:28.560
I'm always commenting on, you know, I have to do this or put pressure on me. But more importantly,

607
00:37:28.560 --> 00:37:34.640
the deal was that if I do agree to the car going on, no more complaining about what a pathetic job

608
00:37:34.640 --> 00:37:41.680
they did. So there you go. And it wasn't a perfection thing. It was just the sheer delight

609
00:37:41.680 --> 00:37:47.920
of doing the thing. You know, I love restoring furniture, I love restoring cars or whatever, but

610
00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:55.040
I think what was the bother that was not so much the actual cleaning, but it was hanging over you

611
00:37:55.040 --> 00:37:59.440
all week. Every time you get in the car, you thought you're like, Oh, I need to do this.

612
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.200
And then Saturday would come and then you'd be working and feeling bad that you weren't actually

613
00:38:03.200 --> 00:38:08.720
cleaning the car. So it's a subconscious thing that weighs on you that you should be doing it.

614
00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:13.520
So now it's my delight every week or two weeks to go and get it washed. And Dion's not allowed to

615
00:38:13.520 --> 00:38:19.440
complain at the horrible job that they do. But it was kind of a funny thing. But it did take

616
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:25.280
took something off Dion. And I think, you know, we kind of making up, we making up in some way,

617
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:31.200
because we kind of had a five year delay in some of our business and ministries. So we are we feel

618
00:38:31.200 --> 00:38:36.880
like we really make every day count now and every year. And so it's a big picture for him to spend

619
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:43.040
that that mind space worrying about the dirty car and whatever it's really at the end of the day,

620
00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:47.760
I said we may lose a couple of thousand dollars if there's a scratch on this and that. But really in

621
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:53.760
the big picture, when it comes to business and ministry and impact, having a dirty car or scratched

622
00:38:53.760 --> 00:39:00.480
car really doesn't matter. And so we I think as we've got more specific with our fight and what

623
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:05.680
our focus is and what the permission the Lord's given us to do, we have been able to actually

624
00:39:05.680 --> 00:39:09.920
really get into the stuff things that Dion said. And some of that is just being much more

625
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.120
intentional about who we spend time with that we we used to spend time with anybody who wanted to

626
00:39:15.120 --> 00:39:20.080
and it was just back to back meetings and hosting and entertaining. And as much fun as it was for

627
00:39:20.080 --> 00:39:26.240
that season, we feel right now, our weekends are time to recover and just rest and refresh for the

628
00:39:26.240 --> 00:39:31.760
week coming up. And so when we do put something on the calendar, it's very intentional to fit into

629
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:36.080
what the Lord's called us to be building with very intentional purpose for those people.

630
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:42.000
And so we've had to be very honest with each other. And as I said, it's helpful if you're

631
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:46.400
not married to actually ask somebody to coach you through that because it's difficult to see

632
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.680
your own situation. Yeah, that's really helpful. I think you get to a point like in our case,

633
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:56.000
our fight is to make kingdom leadership normal. That's what we're doing.

634
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:59.920
We're making it normally in families, normally in church, normally in

635
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.520
business, and that's why we lead a movement of Kingdom Activators. We want to teach people

636
00:40:05.520 --> 00:40:10.320
how to activate. It's like getting the $50,000 or $100,000 credit card in the mail, or better,

637
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:15.440
debit card somebody put $10 million into, gives you the debit card, but you don't phone and

638
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:24.960
activate it. Introducing most of the Christians I know, not because of their fault, not because

639
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:31.520
they're lazy, or you know, it's because nobody taught them how to activate. They didn't even

640
00:40:31.520 --> 00:40:38.400
know if they deserve it. Most believers feel they're less than, they're not at the same level,

641
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:42.800
one day when I'm big, you know, all that stuff. And here's the thing, you're in Christ,

642
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:49.120
you're already fully qualified. Jesus deserves for you to be blessed. He paid for that, right?

643
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:56.080
So this idea of teaching people how to activate, what have we been teaching at this inner circle

644
00:40:56.080 --> 00:41:04.240
here for months now, is that rest activates your yoke. Come to me, all you weary and heavy laden,

645
00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:10.000
and I will give you rest. That exchange, we don't stop something to start something. I'm not trying

646
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:15.920
to have less stress. I'm not trying to stop being stressful. I just exchange it for rest.

647
00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:22.560
Downstairs, you stop and start. Upstairs, you exchange. So we do an exchange for rest. Well,

648
00:41:22.560 --> 00:41:28.960
rest activates my yoke. And we're going to get into that in just a second. But later,

649
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:33.920
but I think for us, that is, that is, did you did you want to share some more things?

650
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:39.680
Well, I was going to say, two of the things that I had to focus on was not going to do all the

651
00:41:39.680 --> 00:41:44.640
shopping. I do love being out and doing groceries and seeing people and whatever. But I realized

652
00:41:44.640 --> 00:41:49.760
it also is time consuming. So I've been very bold to do much more deliveries. And then the

653
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:54.080
second thing was just getting on the phone to talk to people because they wanted to talk on

654
00:41:54.080 --> 00:41:59.040
Zoom calls. But being actually intentional is that building into the small groups or the

655
00:41:59.040 --> 00:42:04.400
which part of the my job description is actually building into. And so it was good to go through

656
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:09.280
my calendar. So those are the two things that I worked on. Yeah. Very good.

657
00:42:09.600 --> 00:42:15.600
Cool. How are you guys doing? Are we good? How are we doing? Any comments, any thoughts,

658
00:42:15.600 --> 00:42:20.320
anything that you're like, really feel like, man, that's triggered a conversation I want

659
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:29.120
to have with the Lord about? Glenn? Yeah. So back on that circle of competence,

660
00:42:29.120 --> 00:42:34.240
keying off of what Jenny had shared as well, that triggered a thought that I want to have

661
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:39.760
a thought that I want to have a conversation with the Lord on. That's the size of the circle.

662
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:45.120
Because I think in the season I've just come through here, I assume something was in the

663
00:42:45.120 --> 00:42:52.400
circle of competence. But it was the nature. So to make it practical, I'm a technologist. So

664
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:57.280
one of my things is solving complex business problems with technology. So that's kind of

665
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:03.200
sort of like a circle. But within that, like I got myself into a world of trouble over the last

666
00:43:03.600 --> 00:43:09.280
few days because I said, oh, you know, I can actually do this, which was building something

667
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.920
using a certain set of tools. I said, I can learn that. That shouldn't be too difficult. And I went

668
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:20.240
and just got myself stuck into that. And then I found myself having to work insane to meet

669
00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:25.120
deadlines. And I should not have actually done that. That was something I should have handed

670
00:43:25.120 --> 00:43:31.440
off to developers and say, go solve this thing. Go do this. And so it's an interesting conversation

671
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:35.840
for me. It's sort of within the big circle. But I think there's a degree of specificity

672
00:43:36.560 --> 00:43:42.640
with the Lord about things that I need to have a conversation about. It's like, OK,

673
00:43:42.640 --> 00:43:48.080
it's like the difference. It's like morning by morning awakens my ear to listen like one being

674
00:43:48.080 --> 00:43:53.920
taught. There's something with a higher degree of focus and specificity than what I have actually

675
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:58.560
been engaging with the Lord on. Yeah. You know, one of the things we can do. Yes,

676
00:43:58.560 --> 00:44:03.200
we love direct learning for sure. But one of the things you can do is there are people in your life

677
00:44:03.200 --> 00:44:09.360
you trust, right? There are friends, there are colleagues, maybe team members. I like to ask

678
00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:17.520
people to give me feedback on a couple of things like I like to ask three questions. What do you

679
00:44:17.520 --> 00:44:23.760
think makes me come alive when you see me in action? What in other words, what contribution

680
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:29.120
am I making? And you might think you know that, but they will often see it in a like you said,

681
00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:36.240
Glenn, with more resolution, with more nuance than you may be seeing it. And we often tend to think

682
00:44:36.240 --> 00:44:40.560
of our talents and abilities on a more broader sense and not with fine degree revolution,

683
00:44:40.560 --> 00:44:44.640
like a picture a little bit out of focus, basic picture. But when they add in,

684
00:44:44.640 --> 00:44:50.000
it suddenly comes into very sharp focus. The second thing is, what do I need to stop doing?

685
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:56.320
What do you think is a 2x thing that you think I just need to stop doing? And I think just asking

686
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:59.840
him even those two questions, there is a third one we've shared before. But even if

687
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.560
If you just go to your team members and ask that question,

688
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:06.640
now you say, well, it takes a lot, it takes a unique culture

689
00:45:06.640 --> 00:45:11.520
and a business to somebody to tell the CEO that answer, right?

690
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:14.600
Or to tell their team leader that answer.

691
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.200
And but if you keep inviting it, at some point, they'll believe you.

692
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:23.640
May not, you know, they have to know there are no consequences,

693
00:45:23.640 --> 00:45:25.480
no negative consequences to that.

694
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:29.240
The only consequences that you will change in a pre-appreciative for the input.

695
00:45:30.640 --> 00:45:33.440
So I know we do that to each other all the time, right?

696
00:45:34.160 --> 00:45:37.120
Yeah. So solicited or unsolicited.

697
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:40.560
After 40 years, we don't wait for the invitation.

698
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.400
No, that's right. Exactly.

699
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.000
I know. Yeah.

700
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:50.360
I think that's great.

701
00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:53.680
Well, guys, we're a much smaller group today, so we can chat a lot more.

702
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.960
I know a lot of people are catching this on the replay,

703
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:00.880
so they miss out on the nuts and bolts.

704
00:46:05.680 --> 00:46:07.920
I'll give you a second to think.

705
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:11.120
And then we want I wanted to share something that's been pretty close

706
00:46:11.120 --> 00:46:13.240
to my heart about,

707
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:18.880
you know, where we are at and how we've learned

708
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:21.600
how to partner with and contract with God's help.

709
00:46:22.240 --> 00:46:25.760
This has been a you know, it's it started as a BESOL

710
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:29.000
Brilliant School of Leadership Training.

711
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.560
But when I was thinking of it in an executive sense,

712
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:35.880
it just opened up a whole lot of elements that are from my own sharing very

713
00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:39.480
personally, if you like, from my own leadership journey.

714
00:46:40.240 --> 00:46:43.640
And so I'd love to I'd love to jump into that next.

715
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:46.680
But I don't want to cut the conversation short.

716
00:46:46.680 --> 00:46:49.080
Any other any other thoughts?

717
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.880
All righty. Well, let me

718
00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:59.320
get into a couple of things about this and.

719
00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:07.160
So I want to talk, just take a few minutes

720
00:47:07.160 --> 00:47:11.280
and talk about this kingdom executive habit.

721
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:13.880
You know, we talk about executive training.

722
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:18.600
And I think this idea, which we started the conversation

723
00:47:18.600 --> 00:47:22.760
with in the beginning, which I really like, is how do you actually

724
00:47:23.040 --> 00:47:26.840
as a kingdom executive contract with God's help?

725
00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:31.520
I mean, you know, how do we understand how he works with us?

726
00:47:31.520 --> 00:47:35.200
What's he like? How is he in our learning?

727
00:47:35.680 --> 00:47:40.720
And, you know, the times we kind of got ahead or made assumptions,

728
00:47:40.720 --> 00:47:43.960
you know, there are some very practical things I want to share with you.

729
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:48.440
But before I do that, I want to just lock this conversation down

730
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:50.680
in Isaiah 41.

731
00:47:50.680 --> 00:47:54.120
And I love Isaiah 41 because you see, the Lord says

732
00:47:54.640 --> 00:47:57.520
four things are going to happen in Isaiah 41.

733
00:47:57.720 --> 00:47:59.440
So let's just read verse 10.

734
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:03.320
He says, Fear not, for I am with you.

735
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.400
I love the way he automatically starts with.

736
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.960
We don't need fear because fear shuts down your thinking.

737
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.640
Fear makes you shrink. It makes you smaller.

738
00:48:13.160 --> 00:48:16.040
And so he knows that you can't just do that by yourself.

739
00:48:16.040 --> 00:48:18.040
Obviously, you need something else.

740
00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:21.320
You need to believe something.

741
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:25.280
Upstairs, believing and receiving are the two powerful ways

742
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:26.920
we learn in the heart.

743
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:29.000
We can believe we can receive.

744
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.640
We can reign. We can relate.

745
00:48:30.640 --> 00:48:34.000
Those are the four big power capabilities of the human heart.

746
00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:35.680
But let's start just on believing.

747
00:48:35.680 --> 00:48:38.680
God gives you something to believe about him

748
00:48:39.160 --> 00:48:43.120
so that downstairs you can fear not.

749
00:48:44.040 --> 00:48:46.760
Right. So he says, do not be dismayed again.

750
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:51.200
Negative emotion thing for I am your God.

751
00:48:51.640 --> 00:48:54.280
OK, you're my God. I receive that.

752
00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:55.760
But what do you want me to believe?

753
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:59.480
I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you.

754
00:48:59.680 --> 00:49:03.760
I will uphold you with my righteous hand.

755
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:06.080
OK, now I've got a place to stand. Right.

756
00:49:06.080 --> 00:49:09.720
God has given us a place to stand and what we believe.

757
00:49:09.720 --> 00:49:12.760
And once your heart knows what it believes,

758
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:15.120
your mind knows how to think.

759
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:19.320
Your emotions know what to feel.

760
00:49:19.600 --> 00:49:21.600
I don't need that negative stuff.

761
00:49:21.600 --> 00:49:23.560
And your will knows where to go.

762
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:25.760
You're inspired. You know what to do.

763
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:29.360
So the first thing he does is he gives us a place to stand.

764
00:49:29.720 --> 00:49:32.880
What to believe. I am your God.

765
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:35.040
I will strengthen you.

766
00:49:35.040 --> 00:49:37.160
Lord, I feel weak. I will strengthen you.

767
00:49:37.160 --> 00:49:40.200
I will help you. His help is amazing.

768
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:42.040
I'll be in yoke with you.

769
00:49:42.040 --> 00:49:44.840
The big bull pulling the load. I will help you.

770
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:48.360
That doesn't mean he'll sprinkle a little bit of help and favor on top.

771
00:49:48.520 --> 00:49:52.920
It means he's deeply in it with you, pulling a lion's share of the load.

772
00:49:53.520 --> 00:49:56.880
And I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

773
00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:59.680
Second thing. So that's presence help.

774
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.880
Second thing is protection help.

775
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:06.600
And then he says, and for those of you in legal battles

776
00:50:06.600 --> 00:50:08.280
and stuff, and we've been through that,

777
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:11.560
or you're just up against something big right now,

778
00:50:11.560 --> 00:50:14.160
you need this, protection help.

779
00:50:14.160 --> 00:50:16.320
It will become as nothing, I will help you.

780
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.160
So listen again how he does this.

781
00:50:18.160 --> 00:50:22.920
Behold, all those who are incensed against you

782
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:25.160
shall be shamed and disgraced.

783
00:50:25.160 --> 00:50:27.280
This shall become as nothing,

784
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:29.720
or they shall become as nothing.

785
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:31.920
And those, it doesn't mean he'll destroy them,

786
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.640
it means their complaint, their thing against you,

787
00:50:34.640 --> 00:50:36.040
that will become as nothing.

788
00:50:36.040 --> 00:50:37.760
That was the word God gave me

789
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.560
when we had the lawsuit filed against us.

790
00:50:39.560 --> 00:50:41.400
This is the verse the Lord gave me.

791
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:43.880
It's the same verse he gave Graham to give us.

792
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:45.320
This will become as nothing.

793
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:46.760
This is just intimidation.

794
00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:49.660
It didn't feel like that at all.

795
00:50:49.660 --> 00:50:53.280
But what it did here, look what it caused me to believe.

796
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.720
It says, those who strive with you shall perish.

797
00:50:55.720 --> 00:50:57.840
In other words, their striving will perish.

798
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:00.720
And you will seek them, you won't find them.

799
00:51:00.720 --> 00:51:03.440
You can't find those who contend against you.

800
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:07.500
Those who wage war against you shall be as nothing,

801
00:51:07.500 --> 00:51:09.480
as a non-existent thing.

802
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:10.460
Why?

803
00:51:10.460 --> 00:51:13.040
Okay, so the Lord's telling your mind what to think.

804
00:51:13.040 --> 00:51:15.080
So he's mixing it up a little bit here.

805
00:51:15.080 --> 00:51:16.400
He's telling your mind what to think.

806
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:17.600
He's renewing your mind.

807
00:51:17.600 --> 00:51:19.280
This is not a real war.

808
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:20.680
This will become as nothing.

809
00:51:20.680 --> 00:51:23.760
And then he says, for I am the Lord your God.

810
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:26.120
He always anchors you in himself.

811
00:51:26.120 --> 00:51:28.680
He always gives you something to believe in.

812
00:51:28.680 --> 00:51:29.520
Why?

813
00:51:29.520 --> 00:51:33.680
Because I will hold your right hand, saying to you,

814
00:51:33.680 --> 00:51:36.800
fear not, I will help you.

815
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:38.400
And even when you're feeling like a worm,

816
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:41.640
he says, fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel.

817
00:51:41.640 --> 00:51:45.200
I will help you, says the Lord, your Redeemer.

818
00:51:45.200 --> 00:51:48.460
Now he reveals himself as not just your helper,

819
00:51:48.460 --> 00:51:50.360
but your Redeemer.

820
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.960
So this is not restorer.

821
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:56.400
Restorer is somebody who restores something to what was.

822
00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:59.520
Redeemer is putting it back to where you would have gone

823
00:51:59.520 --> 00:52:01.360
if you were not interrupted.

824
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:04.400
For those of that, if you have had business failures,

825
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:07.380
for those of you that have had major setbacks,

826
00:52:07.380 --> 00:52:09.240
this means nothing to the Lord,

827
00:52:09.240 --> 00:52:12.640
in the sense of he easily redeemed that.

828
00:52:12.640 --> 00:52:14.680
Easily, he can redeem that.

829
00:52:14.680 --> 00:52:16.160
In other words, again,

830
00:52:16.160 --> 00:52:18.520
restoration is him just putting back what was.

831
00:52:18.520 --> 00:52:20.880
God isn't interested in restoring you, just.

832
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:22.400
He's interested in redeeming you.

833
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:23.680
Where would have you been?

834
00:52:23.680 --> 00:52:26.600
And even if that interruption came from your own stupidity,

835
00:52:26.600 --> 00:52:29.000
from your own mistakes, from your own bad choices,

836
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.920
it doesn't matter what caused you not to be

837
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:34.640
where you ought to be, he is a Redeemer.

838
00:52:34.640 --> 00:52:37.720
So now he gives you something to believe about him.

839
00:52:37.720 --> 00:52:41.560
Lord, now you're my Redeemer, and you're my protector.

840
00:52:41.560 --> 00:52:42.880
Now that I know that,

841
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.480
I know that all this will become as nothing,

842
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:48.560
and I don't have to fear because you will help me.

843
00:52:48.560 --> 00:52:50.000
So now I know how to decide.

844
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:53.800
Okay, so we've gone through presence help, protection help.

845
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:56.520
Let's talk about possession help.

846
00:52:56.520 --> 00:52:59.560
Taking the territory God is giving you.

847
00:52:59.560 --> 00:53:02.760
So he says, I will do it for you.

848
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:04.720
Now listen to this verse 15.

849
00:53:04.720 --> 00:53:09.260
Behold, I will make you into a threshing sledge

850
00:53:09.260 --> 00:53:11.120
with sharp teeth.

851
00:53:11.120 --> 00:53:12.360
I'm gonna make you really sharp.

852
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:13.500
Guess what you can do?

853
00:53:13.500 --> 00:53:18.080
You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small

854
00:53:18.080 --> 00:53:20.360
and make the hills like chaff.

855
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.080
God takes big things and makes them small.

856
00:53:23.080 --> 00:53:26.880
The enemy tries to make small things big, right?

857
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:28.080
So God does the opposite,

858
00:53:28.080 --> 00:53:30.360
takes big things and he makes them small,

859
00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:32.720
and you shall winnow them.

860
00:53:32.720 --> 00:53:34.660
The wind shall carry them away.

861
00:53:34.660 --> 00:53:38.840
There's an effortlessness to the way these issues disappear.

862
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:40.600
Another way the scripture says,

863
00:53:40.600 --> 00:53:44.960
the mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord.

864
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.360
And then it goes on, he keeps going with this theme.

865
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:50.000
The whirlwind shall scatter them.

866
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:51.920
Yeah, you shall rejoice.

867
00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:53.020
Now I know what to do.

868
00:53:53.020 --> 00:53:58.020
You shall rejoice in the glory in the Holy One of Israel.

869
00:53:58.120 --> 00:53:59.600
Now this is fascinating

870
00:53:59.600 --> 00:54:02.000
because what the Lord is saying in the structure

871
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.480
is he's saying, he's again telling us what to believe.

872
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:10.840
We now believe, I'm not up to me to be a good steward

873
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:13.920
and somehow manage all my talents and possessions

874
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:14.760
and all that stuff.

875
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:16.660
That's a great downstairs teaching.

876
00:54:16.660 --> 00:54:20.820
Upstairs, it's I know you are the one fashioning me

877
00:54:20.820 --> 00:54:24.720
and forming me to be a threshing sledge in your hand.

878
00:54:24.720 --> 00:54:26.460
And with that sledge, Lord,

879
00:54:26.460 --> 00:54:29.820
you can take out a mountain and beat it small.

880
00:54:29.820 --> 00:54:32.020
You can't do that for yourself.

881
00:54:32.020 --> 00:54:36.080
So he's the one who's shaping you into that position.

882
00:54:36.080 --> 00:54:38.220
So now I know I believe that.

883
00:54:38.220 --> 00:54:40.020
And now I know what I get to do.

884
00:54:40.020 --> 00:54:40.980
I get to rejoice.

885
00:54:40.980 --> 00:54:44.220
My emotions don't go from concern and worry.

886
00:54:44.220 --> 00:54:45.460
I go into joy.

887
00:54:45.460 --> 00:54:47.060
I practice my joy.

888
00:54:47.060 --> 00:54:49.740
I rejoice.

889
00:54:49.740 --> 00:54:52.900
And then number four, power provision.

890
00:54:53.820 --> 00:54:55.900
The power provision is the Lord says,

891
00:54:55.900 --> 00:54:57.820
so now you're in this mode with me.

892
00:54:57.820 --> 00:55:00.060
Here's what happens with upstairs learning.

893
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:08.000
We start pulling together, I'm here to help you, I'm going to protect you and I'm going to shape you into this weapon.

894
00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:12.000
And then he just takes off and does seven things that don't even involve us.

895
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:16.000
It says, and the poor and the needy shall seek water and there'll be none.

896
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:20.000
The tongues will fail for thirst and I, the Lord, will hear them.

897
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.000
The God of Israel will not forsake them.

898
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:29.000
In other words, all the people you're called to serve, your who, who are thirsty, who are dry, who are nowhere.

899
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:35.000
And he says, and I will, the Lord will, open up rivers in desolate heights, fountains in the midst of the valleys.

900
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:40.000
I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water.

901
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:46.000
And I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, the myrtle and the oil tree.

902
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:52.000
And I will set the desert, the cypress tree and the pine and the box together.

903
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:57.000
A lot of very detail about all the types of trees and the variety and creativity of what he will do.

904
00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:00.000
And then it all lands on verse 20.

905
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:13.000
That they may know and see and consider and understand together that the hand of the Lord has done this.

906
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:17.000
Now, I'm going to tell you that you're going to be included when they see,

907
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.000
because they're going to know who the Lord was working with.

908
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:26.000
You know, which weapon took out that mountain, but they will know the Lord did it.

909
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:30.000
But they'll also know that you walked with him in it.

910
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:32.000
And so it'll be, they will see.

911
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:33.000
They will see you.

912
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:38.000
The way the Lord's told me is, I will make it obvious that you are my friend.

913
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:40.000
And, you know, I love that.

914
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:42.000
For me, it's a very, very sweet word.

915
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:49.000
When all this legal stuff happened to us, Graham shared with me the other day that, you know,

916
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.000
when he asked the Lord, you know, how did he see it?

917
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.000
The first thing the Lord said is, this is just intimidation.

918
00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:57.000
It's not a real fight.

919
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.000
There's no substance, so it'll become as nothing.

920
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.000
The second thing he said the Lord said to him is, help him because he is my friend.

921
00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:08.000
He said, Dion is my friend, so help him.

922
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:12.000
And what happens is the people come to know you are God's friend.

923
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.000
They get to see that.

924
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:21.000
Now, we also know that when we step into this incredible space, what happens is,

925
00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:25.000
upstairs learning gives us something to believe.

926
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:27.000
And that place, that's where we stand.

927
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:33.000
God gives us his incredible promises so we can participate in his divine nature.

928
00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:35.000
That's what the Bible says.

929
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:40.000
So that means our starting place in learning, in contracting with God,

930
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:43.000
is what's your promise to me, Lord?

931
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:45.000
I know that you're going to help me.

932
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:46.000
You're going to protect me.

933
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:49.000
You're going to fashion and form me in a powerful weapon.

934
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:52.000
And then you're going to just step in and do a whole bunch of stuff

935
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:55.000
just because I initiated the process with you.

936
00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:59.000
God loves the partnership, but he intends to do a whole lot more

937
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:02.000
than your partnership or you are capable of.

938
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:04.000
This goes beyond just stewardship stuff.

939
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:08.000
So when I hear the whole stewardship thing, I go, okay, I mean, it's fine.

940
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.000
You know, I don't want to get too much into it.

941
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:12.000
But it's not inspiring in the least.

942
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:14.000
It sounds like a 2X thing to me.

943
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:18.000
So I'm excited about not perfect performance.

944
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:22.000
I'm interested in a powerful partnership with the Lord.

945
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:26.000
So here's what we do is we step into this new place with God

946
00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:28.000
and suddenly everything shifts.

947
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.000
Everything changes.

948
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:34.000
When we let peace reign, when we go and take God up on his offer,

949
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:40.000
when we activate the kingdom in us, remember you have a will

950
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:44.000
and God is looking for you to align your will with his will.

951
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:47.000
It's not like, well, if you don't do this, God won't bless it.

952
00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:49.000
He's blessed you, favored you.

953
00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:50.000
You're in Christ.

954
00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:53.000
All of heaven is attracted to Jesus and you already have it.

955
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:56.000
The issue is whether you're aligned for that blessing,

956
00:58:56.000 --> 00:58:58.000
whether you're aligned with that favor.

957
00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:03.000
And so what we're practicing, what we're activating as kingdom executives

958
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:06.000
is how to activate that favor.

959
00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:08.000
I already have it, right?

960
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:09.000
I have the credit card.

961
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:11.000
I'm just learning to activate it.

962
00:59:11.000 --> 00:59:13.000
That's what I'm learning.

963
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:18.000
I'm learning that, you know, I'm not what activates my yoke is rest.

964
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:22.000
So I know that downstairs, what's the big bragging thing?

965
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:24.000
Look how stressed I am.

966
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:25.000
I'm overworked.

967
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:26.000
I'm overbooked.

968
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:27.000
Look at how busy I am.

969
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:28.000
I'm stressed out of my mind.

970
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:30.000
Oh, I have such a big job.

971
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.000
It's like a badge of honor.

972
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:36.000
In the kingdom, your badge of honor is look who I'm with.

973
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:37.000
I'm so dressed.

974
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:44.000
I let the peace of God rule in my heart because peace is a ruling power.

975
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:47.000
It's a ruling power in your business, in your life, in your family,

976
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.000
in your community.

977
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:51.000
I love that for us.

978
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:58.000
So, you know, we know that when we're at rest, when we're at peace,

979
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.000
we know from neuroscience that

980
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.140
That's when you're most creative,

981
01:00:02.140 --> 01:00:04.420
you have the clearest thinking, you're most productive,

982
01:00:04.420 --> 01:00:07.900
you're most present in your relationships.

983
01:00:07.900 --> 01:00:09.620
And that's what God wants for you,

984
01:00:09.620 --> 01:00:14.040
most effective in your leadership in that place of rest.

985
01:00:15.940 --> 01:00:18.980
Okay, let's get into a discussion.

986
01:00:18.980 --> 01:00:22.180
I hope that inspired you a little bit around,

987
01:00:22.180 --> 01:00:24.040
you're not alone in this.

988
01:00:24.040 --> 01:00:24.880
Yeah.

989
01:00:29.660 --> 01:00:32.680
Thoughts, questions, what have some of you learned

990
01:00:32.680 --> 01:00:34.900
about how the Lord does this with us?

991
01:00:34.900 --> 01:00:37.180
How do you contract with God's help?

992
01:00:41.140 --> 01:00:41.980
I can speak to that.

993
01:00:41.980 --> 01:00:45.320
And so I love Isaiah 41 and everything you just said

994
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:48.280
was like to the T of what the Lord has been,

995
01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:52.240
especially the latter when he's with you

996
01:00:52.560 --> 01:00:57.200
and you've gone past that place of fear and things.

997
01:00:57.200 --> 01:01:02.200
But I think that is brilliant because right now

998
01:01:02.680 --> 01:01:04.080
with me partnering with the Lord,

999
01:01:04.080 --> 01:01:07.280
what he's shown me in that forward thinking and the role

1000
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:10.320
that he's setting me up for something huge.

1001
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:14.960
I know, I mean, like you go from faith to knowledge,

1002
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:17.280
it's like, so now I'm just,

1003
01:01:19.240 --> 01:01:21.960
I just got a huge bonus and didn't even do anything.

1004
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:24.600
I, you know, it's just things like that.

1005
01:01:24.600 --> 01:01:26.880
And I'm like, what am I, what, you know,

1006
01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:29.540
and incorporate, you know, they do your reviews

1007
01:01:29.540 --> 01:01:30.380
and all of that.

1008
01:01:30.380 --> 01:01:32.280
This is a little different than what you guys are doing,

1009
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:36.760
but I've got a review back that exceeds expectations

1010
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:37.600
and I'm like, okay.

1011
01:01:37.600 --> 01:01:39.940
And I'm looking for this role that he's showing me.

1012
01:01:39.940 --> 01:01:44.700
And I mean, so we just had a huge acquisition too.

1013
01:01:44.700 --> 01:01:47.000
They brought on another huge logistics company

1014
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.160
and they're setting up this whole team down in Mexico.

1015
01:01:50.200 --> 01:01:55.200
So all that to say back to Isaiah 41 is just wonderful.

1016
01:01:56.080 --> 01:01:58.280
I absolutely love partnering with him

1017
01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:01.040
and everything that he's showing me in this.

1018
01:02:01.040 --> 01:02:04.520
So I hope that makes sense, but yeah, thank you for that.

1019
01:02:04.520 --> 01:02:05.360
Oh, for sure.

1020
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:06.180
I love it.

1021
01:02:06.180 --> 01:02:07.020
Yeah, for sure.

1022
01:02:07.020 --> 01:02:09.880
I love that upstairs learning, you know,

1023
01:02:09.880 --> 01:02:11.200
starts in God's heart.

1024
01:02:11.200 --> 01:02:13.800
He always says something about his heart

1025
01:02:13.800 --> 01:02:15.800
and then he gives you a promise about that.

1026
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:16.640
I will protect you.

1027
01:02:16.640 --> 01:02:17.460
I'll help you.

1028
01:02:17.460 --> 01:02:21.700
He'll say something, which is as Graham would put it,

1029
01:02:21.700 --> 01:02:24.340
it's God binding himself to you.

1030
01:02:24.340 --> 01:02:26.580
He's giving you his word of honor.

1031
01:02:26.580 --> 01:02:28.100
You can take this to the bay.

1032
01:02:28.100 --> 01:02:29.860
You can trust me in this.

1033
01:02:29.860 --> 01:02:33.220
I will be faithful to you in this.

1034
01:02:33.220 --> 01:02:34.900
He's not iffy.

1035
01:02:34.900 --> 01:02:37.620
And you say, well, so much is at stake.

1036
01:02:37.620 --> 01:02:42.620
You know, my boss, my company, my team that rely on me.

1037
01:02:42.860 --> 01:02:44.620
He knows all that.

1038
01:02:44.620 --> 01:02:46.300
That's not a thing, you know?

1039
01:02:46.300 --> 01:02:49.540
So he wants, but I love when he just starts doing stuff,

1040
01:02:49.540 --> 01:02:52.340
step four, he starts doing stuff without you.

1041
01:02:52.340 --> 01:02:54.100
Like, hey, you've got a bonus.

1042
01:02:54.100 --> 01:02:55.580
I did, why?

1043
01:02:55.580 --> 01:02:56.660
Because you're me.

1044
01:02:57.580 --> 01:02:58.740
Yeah.

1045
01:02:58.740 --> 01:02:59.580
Yeah.

1046
01:02:59.580 --> 01:03:00.420
He doesn't do anything.

1047
01:03:00.420 --> 01:03:01.580
Like it just shows up.

1048
01:03:01.580 --> 01:03:02.820
I'm like, okay, that's funny.

1049
01:03:02.820 --> 01:03:05.860
You know, like, because money, the abundance and think,

1050
01:03:05.860 --> 01:03:08.020
the abundance, the thinking, it's not money.

1051
01:03:08.020 --> 01:03:10.540
It's like thinking from abundance and not from lack.

1052
01:03:10.540 --> 01:03:12.860
You know, like I need to get the money to do this.

1053
01:03:12.860 --> 01:03:15.660
No, that's not the case in the kingdom.

1054
01:03:16.500 --> 01:03:19.620
The provision, well, not provision.

1055
01:03:19.620 --> 01:03:20.580
Well, yes, provision.

1056
01:03:20.580 --> 01:03:22.820
But what I'm trying to say is that

1057
01:03:22.820 --> 01:03:24.980
the resources are already there.

1058
01:03:24.980 --> 01:03:27.340
You know, it's really cool.

1059
01:03:27.340 --> 01:03:28.620
It's a really neat way to think.

1060
01:03:28.620 --> 01:03:30.380
I love that.

1061
01:03:30.380 --> 01:03:31.980
Yeah.

1062
01:03:31.980 --> 01:03:32.820
Yeah.

1063
01:03:32.820 --> 01:03:34.300
Budget's a downstairs thing.

1064
01:03:34.300 --> 01:03:35.140
Yeah.

1065
01:03:35.140 --> 01:03:37.060
Abundance is an upstairs thing.

1066
01:03:37.060 --> 01:03:37.900
Yeah.

1067
01:03:37.900 --> 01:03:38.740
And we should do budgets.

1068
01:03:38.740 --> 01:03:39.580
This is good.

1069
01:03:39.580 --> 01:03:41.380
Because we're abundant, you know,

1070
01:03:41.380 --> 01:03:42.500
but we're not doing budgets

1071
01:03:42.500 --> 01:03:44.100
because we're trying to be good stewards.

1072
01:03:44.100 --> 01:03:46.540
We're doing budgets because we're good partners.

1073
01:03:47.860 --> 01:03:49.220
And I'm not against the steward thing.

1074
01:03:49.220 --> 01:03:50.540
I just think steward language

1075
01:03:50.540 --> 01:03:52.740
is a downstairs servant language.

1076
01:03:54.140 --> 01:03:55.300
God wants us to be his friend.

1077
01:03:55.300 --> 01:03:57.180
I no longer call you servants.

1078
01:03:57.180 --> 01:03:58.580
I call you friends.

1079
01:03:58.580 --> 01:03:59.420
Why?

1080
01:03:59.420 --> 01:04:02.300
Because the servant doesn't know what his master is doing.

1081
01:04:02.300 --> 01:04:03.540
But a friend does.

1082
01:04:03.540 --> 01:04:04.380
And then Jesus goes,

1083
01:04:04.380 --> 01:04:06.820
no, I'll explain everything the father showed me.

1084
01:04:06.820 --> 01:04:07.820
I'll do the same for you.

1085
01:04:07.820 --> 01:04:09.580
I'll tell you what's on his heart.

1086
01:04:09.580 --> 01:04:11.180
So if you can ask God directly,

1087
01:04:11.180 --> 01:04:12.100
if you can't hear him,

1088
01:04:12.100 --> 01:04:12.940
Jesus will tell you.

1089
01:04:12.940 --> 01:04:14.020
If you can't hear that,

1090
01:04:14.020 --> 01:04:16.180
your coach, counselor, therapist,

1091
01:04:16.180 --> 01:04:18.460
the genius Holy Spirit will tell you.

1092
01:04:18.460 --> 01:04:20.780
You're gonna get to know one way or another.

1093
01:04:21.980 --> 01:04:24.940
So it's just a wonderful life.

1094
01:04:25.860 --> 01:04:27.140
All right.

1095
01:04:27.140 --> 01:04:28.060
Well, thanks, Emily.

1096
01:04:28.060 --> 01:04:28.940
I appreciate that.

1097
01:04:28.940 --> 01:04:31.020
Hey, I see, Mark,

1098
01:04:31.020 --> 01:04:33.100
I see you got your camera on now.

1099
01:04:33.100 --> 01:04:35.300
Did you land wherever it is you were going?

1100
01:04:36.740 --> 01:04:38.420
Yes, I've been traveling.

1101
01:04:38.420 --> 01:04:41.220
So yeah, I finally got to my desk here.

1102
01:04:41.220 --> 01:04:42.460
Yeah.

1103
01:04:43.060 --> 01:04:43.900
So yeah, I mean,

1104
01:04:44.740 --> 01:04:47.580
I would probably comment to your question too,

1105
01:04:47.580 --> 01:04:49.820
similar to what Emily just said.

1106
01:04:49.820 --> 01:04:52.420
For me, it's been just kind of a hanging on.

1107
01:04:53.340 --> 01:04:54.580
I'm trying to hang,

1108
01:04:55.540 --> 01:04:57.060
the Lord's got the rope out

1109
01:04:57.060 --> 01:04:58.620
and I'm just trying to get ahold of it

1110
01:04:58.620 --> 01:05:00.020
and try to keep up with him.

1111
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:07.740
it just keeps going. So, yeah, I still feel like I need to, I

1112
01:05:07.740 --> 01:05:09.780
keep thinking I need a foundation, Lord, I need a

1113
01:05:09.780 --> 01:05:14.040
foundation. And he's like, No, no, no, come on, let's go. Let's

1114
01:05:14.040 --> 01:05:14.280
go.

1115
01:05:17.520 --> 01:05:20.580
Yeah, I think a lot of times, wouldn't you say, Mark,

1116
01:05:20.580 --> 01:05:24.380
sometimes we want to know outcomes and stuff, because if

1117
01:05:24.380 --> 01:05:27.180
we were new, the outcomes we maybe we don't have to trust as

1118
01:05:27.180 --> 01:05:30.980
much. Yeah, I'll speak for myself. It's something I

1119
01:05:30.980 --> 01:05:34.020
noticed in myself, Lord, if I know all the outcomes, then I

1120
01:05:34.020 --> 01:05:36.660
don't have to trust you. If you could give me the next five

1121
01:05:36.660 --> 01:05:40.260
years per provision and all the resources, then that'd be great.

1122
01:05:40.260 --> 01:05:43.180
Then I don't. And the Lord's like, I'm not doing that. I want

1123
01:05:43.180 --> 01:05:45.860
this to be a powerful partnership, not perfect

1124
01:05:45.860 --> 01:05:51.100
performance. And I think this, the the joy of stepping out of

1125
01:05:51.100 --> 01:05:57.220
this downstairs idea and living upstairs down. You're, you're,

1126
01:05:57.260 --> 01:05:59.700
you know, a lot of people say we're not look, we're not

1127
01:05:59.700 --> 01:06:02.860
against the mind. What we're against is the unrenewed mind

1128
01:06:02.860 --> 01:06:08.340
trying to lead. That's what we're against. So did we just

1129
01:06:08.340 --> 01:06:13.580
lose somebody? Yep. It looks like we lost Ray. Hey, Jenny.

1130
01:06:14.660 --> 01:06:20.140
We're hemorrhaging people. That's great. I know people have

1131
01:06:20.140 --> 01:06:23.700
stuff to do. No worries. You're free to go. Jenny, weigh in on

1132
01:06:23.700 --> 01:06:28.660
this. You touched in on on what I was thinking about with trust.

1133
01:06:28.660 --> 01:06:33.460
But what I love about what you're talking about, and with

1134
01:06:33.500 --> 01:06:36.980
the partnership and the friendship and the trust is the

1135
01:06:36.980 --> 01:06:40.980
growing up in God. And so there's this being in sync with

1136
01:06:40.980 --> 01:06:44.620
him and you're growing up in him and you're growing up in all

1137
01:06:44.620 --> 01:06:49.300
things in Christ. And knowing that when you face any

1138
01:06:49.300 --> 01:06:55.180
situation, contracting with his help, but your starting place is

1139
01:06:55.180 --> 01:07:01.420
knowing that every situation is designed to show you something

1140
01:07:01.500 --> 01:07:07.540
about God. So you're starting every situation with a win, and

1141
01:07:07.700 --> 01:07:11.460
your outcome is going to be your new starting place. So when

1142
01:07:11.460 --> 01:07:16.700
you're contracting with his help, I just I love that whole

1143
01:07:17.380 --> 01:07:21.180
just in synchness, I'm going to create new words now in my

1144
01:07:21.180 --> 01:07:25.780
partnership that comes with knowing that when you start a

1145
01:07:25.780 --> 01:07:30.180
situation, that you're learning something new about him. And as

1146
01:07:30.180 --> 01:07:33.460
you're learning something new about him, you're growing up,

1147
01:07:33.620 --> 01:07:37.860
and you're seeing yourself in the same way that he sees you,

1148
01:07:38.020 --> 01:07:43.420
which affects a huge change in the way that you see yourself,

1149
01:07:43.420 --> 01:07:47.180
talk about yourself, and the way that you see him, the way you

1150
01:07:47.180 --> 01:07:51.260
talk about him, it impacts mindset, lens and language. And

1151
01:07:51.260 --> 01:07:54.060
we've heard that with talking about how Ray giving the

1152
01:07:54.060 --> 01:07:58.940
examples of his situations and Glenn and his examples, as well

1153
01:07:58.940 --> 01:08:04.940
as Emily, and encompassing in all of that is the favor, the

1154
01:08:04.940 --> 01:08:09.780
favor that rests on us, because we are in Christ. So we have

1155
01:08:09.900 --> 01:08:15.580
access to everything that he is, and that he has. So every

1156
01:08:15.820 --> 01:08:22.060
situation is designed to benefit us. And there's challenges, for

1157
01:08:22.060 --> 01:08:24.979
sure. There's challenges, there's hardships, not

1158
01:08:24.979 --> 01:08:29.180
minimizing that. And knowing that every situation is designed

1159
01:08:29.180 --> 01:08:35.060
for your good, for your good outcome, is just a completely

1160
01:08:35.060 --> 01:08:40.060
different way of approaching every situation. And that when

1161
01:08:40.060 --> 01:08:43.340
they are challenging, and they're, you know, for instance,

1162
01:08:43.580 --> 01:08:46.979
your your situation five years ago, challenging, you get to

1163
01:08:47.460 --> 01:08:52.779
practice resting back, and building trust with him in that

1164
01:08:52.779 --> 01:08:58.060
specific situation, then informs every future situation from that

1165
01:08:58.060 --> 01:09:02.220
point forward. So I really, this is just, I mean, it's core,

1166
01:09:02.460 --> 01:09:04.939
it's core to who, you know, who we are.

1167
01:09:05.260 --> 01:09:08.700
So yeah, I love the way Graham puts it is he says, when God

1168
01:09:08.700 --> 01:09:11.660
grants you something, he expects you to take him for granted.

1169
01:09:12.100 --> 01:09:15.779
Right. And what we've been taught in for many people's

1170
01:09:15.779 --> 01:09:20.500
world, don't be presumptuous. Don't be. I have never seen a

1171
01:09:20.500 --> 01:09:26.460
scripture support that theology. It's a it, there's a higher

1172
01:09:26.460 --> 01:09:30.020
theology for us, there's a higher way with the Lord, what

1173
01:09:30.020 --> 01:09:32.939
if you had the most extraordinary, generous Father,

1174
01:09:33.540 --> 01:09:36.420
who just delights in you, he's like, let's go and do this.

1175
01:09:36.460 --> 01:09:39.140
Let's go, let's go, like Mark said, just hang on to the rope,

1176
01:09:39.140 --> 01:09:42.779
let's keep going, you know, he's moving at a at a good click, and

1177
01:09:42.779 --> 01:09:46.420
he's moving it forward. And so I think that what we're, what

1178
01:09:46.420 --> 01:09:49.779
we're learning to do, I think, as as a, you know, here at the

1179
01:09:49.779 --> 01:09:53.540
inner circle is how do we as leaders come to rest in

1180
01:09:53.580 --> 01:09:56.460
ourselves? Because when we say rest, a lot of leaders say,

1181
01:09:56.460 --> 01:09:58.980
well, what do you mean take a nap? You know, I can't tell you

1182
01:09:58.980 --> 01:10:00.060
how many times leaders actually

1183
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.800
They asked me that and I said you're not serious, right? And I said now we're talking about the inner chaos of your life

1184
01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:07.520
Your inner world being calm

1185
01:10:08.060 --> 01:10:09.600
settled

1186
01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:12.640
Now we have peace with god. Okay, and it's that

1187
01:10:13.280 --> 01:10:18.660
That the outer world can't exert more pressure on you than your peace can overwhelm

1188
01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:20.880
Yeah

1189
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:24.960
There is no inner pressure that can hit you that your peace in jesus carnival

1190
01:10:25.120 --> 01:10:28.240
Why because peace is a ruling power the prince of peace

1191
01:10:29.040 --> 01:10:31.680
Lives in you and you're one with him

1192
01:10:32.320 --> 01:10:34.320
So when we get to that

1193
01:10:34.480 --> 01:10:41.680
It opens up a level of leadership. We're activating peace is activating a level of leadership. We can take on bigger fights

1194
01:10:42.400 --> 01:10:44.400
When we can handle more pressure

1195
01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:46.960
You know, I think for a lot of people

1196
01:10:47.200 --> 01:10:55.200
They get a prophetic word about their territory or their call or their whatever and they just chase after it without becoming someone first

1197
01:10:56.080 --> 01:11:01.600
And I think one of the biggest things we've seen at brilliant is that people need to become someone to take something

1198
01:11:02.080 --> 01:11:07.440
a lot of people just go and try and take something as they are and you'll get crushed by that because your inner peace doesn't

1199
01:11:07.840 --> 01:11:09.840
Can't sustain that pressure

1200
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:12.000
Your inner calm your inner rest

1201
01:11:12.480 --> 01:11:16.080
That's you know, we often say brilliant. Well, if we're going to really take on that whole thing

1202
01:11:16.080 --> 01:11:18.720
We're going to need a whole new level of rest to do that

1203
01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:24.560
Because rest is really the sign. I think that you are

1204
01:11:25.280 --> 01:11:28.500
Stepping into a higher place that you're taking more territory

1205
01:11:28.880 --> 01:11:34.960
so we first take this upstairs territory of peace and who we are and how we are with the lord house with us and

1206
01:11:35.440 --> 01:11:37.440
Settle that upstairs learning

1207
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:39.680
Heart learning and then downstairs

1208
01:11:40.160 --> 01:11:43.040
We take territory and it doesn't cause us to implode

1209
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:45.520
Yeah

1210
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:48.000
Okay, it's so key and

1211
01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:54.160
And when you're able to do that for yourself, then you're able to lead your team through that process as well

1212
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:55.840
whether you're

1213
01:11:55.840 --> 01:11:58.640
Relating it to peace, you know depending upon

1214
01:11:59.280 --> 01:12:03.520
what environment you're in, you know, whether you're relating it to peace or

1215
01:12:04.080 --> 01:12:08.560
And rest or prince of peace or it's just peace and I remember going

1216
01:12:09.040 --> 01:12:11.920
talking to a business owner and she was talking to me about

1217
01:12:12.480 --> 01:12:18.080
All of this coaching that she was doing and about and sharing with me the stress that she's under and asked me

1218
01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:21.040
Do you know what I mean? And I said actually I don't

1219
01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:22.480
I

1220
01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:26.160
Need to get a practice not to get stressed. I don't get stressed

1221
01:12:26.480 --> 01:12:30.720
Now what she doesn't know from that is is that that was a practice over 10

1222
01:12:31.200 --> 01:12:34.640
Years, right? It's become a lifestyle of practice

1223
01:12:35.040 --> 01:12:41.760
It didn't happen overnight and there were plenty of situations that challenge your peace so that

1224
01:12:42.480 --> 01:12:45.360
You can over you can let peace

1225
01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:48.100
Rise up and reign in the situation

1226
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:53.540
And I think that that is such an important piece and you're touching on it here is the practicing

1227
01:12:54.080 --> 01:12:57.120
Of it and how we become it over

1228
01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:02.240
Time and in each situation is designed to help you practice that

1229
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:10.000
Yeah, well practice makes permanent as you were saying second. I love the implication that it takes time. It's okay if it takes years

1230
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.960
This idea that we have to hear a sermon on sunday and have it implemented by monday

1231
01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:20.960
I would love that. I would love wouldn't it be amazing. I would love that

1232
01:13:21.920 --> 01:13:23.920
Do I have 48 hours?

1233
01:13:24.240 --> 01:13:26.320
Someone's trying my piece to me, please

1234
01:13:27.040 --> 01:13:27.920
Yeah

1235
01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:33.920
Yeah, I go to church every night and uh, I could if I could solve it in 24 hours, it'd be amazing

1236
01:13:34.480 --> 01:13:37.920
and and I think I love I love that you're saying that because the

1237
01:13:39.200 --> 01:13:44.500
The permission from the lord is he's relaxed. He says we should be addressed because he's addressed

1238
01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:47.280
He's not stressed

1239
01:13:47.280 --> 01:13:51.200
You know, he knows what he's doing. He knows his kind intentions towards us

1240
01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:55.120
He knows what he's you know, he knows the purposes he has for us

1241
01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:59.680
And he can also navigate everybody else's stuff

1242
01:14:00.320 --> 01:14:04.080
Because here's what we don't often think of we don't think of our journey

1243
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:09.680
From his viewpoint meaning that as a leader you're in the middle of this thing. God gave you permission

1244
01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:15.040
You're going down you're building and then the whole thing falls apart could not necessarily be that you missed him

1245
01:14:15.280 --> 01:14:18.340
Could also be that other people's wills got involved

1246
01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:22.720
So god is working around those wills and he gave them the option

1247
01:14:22.800 --> 01:14:27.920
They said no so he works around them and he's so confident in his ability to pull that all off

1248
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:30.480
He gives us a promise all things work together

1249
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:34.400
For the good of them that love god and are called according to his purpose

1250
01:14:34.480 --> 01:14:39.540
In other words, his purposes are immovable his intention to get to his purpose is immovable

1251
01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:43.280
But the pathway may change because people are involved

1252
01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:45.680
And that's the thing

1253
01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:50.560
Opens up a whole new conversation as does god learn

1254
01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:59.940
So, let's not go there but I think he does I think he says he found fault with the old covenant

1255
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:02.400
and he gave us a new one built on better promises.

1256
01:15:02.400 --> 01:15:05.840
He's in it with us, he's not faking,

1257
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:07.600
he's not pretending to be compassionate,

1258
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:11.160
he's fully compassionate, he's fully in it with us.

1259
01:15:11.160 --> 01:15:13.620
And I think he binds himself to our environment,

1260
01:15:13.620 --> 01:15:16.800
to the structure, so that he can be in it with us.

1261
01:15:17.640 --> 01:15:20.140
So it does open up a beautiful,

1262
01:15:20.140 --> 01:15:21.080
you know, at the end of the day,

1263
01:15:21.080 --> 01:15:22.520
it doesn't really matter what you know,

1264
01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:24.800
it only matters who you're becoming.

1265
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:26.280
Upstairs is about who you're becoming,

1266
01:15:26.280 --> 01:15:27.520
downstairs is what do you know.

1267
01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:29.160
And I think a lot of times,

1268
01:15:29.160 --> 01:15:32.140
we try to get to the Lord through the knowledge,

1269
01:15:32.140 --> 01:15:35.360
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, right?

1270
01:15:35.360 --> 01:15:36.840
In the garden, there were two trees,

1271
01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:38.760
the tree of knowledge and the tree of life.

1272
01:15:38.760 --> 01:15:41.080
It's the tree of life is the absolute,

1273
01:15:41.080 --> 01:15:43.920
in Christ is life, you and the way,

1274
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:46.040
the truth and the life, we're in Jesus.

1275
01:15:46.040 --> 01:15:50.600
So we learn from him, come and learn from me, Jesus offered.

1276
01:15:50.600 --> 01:15:53.400
And so what he's offering us is life.

1277
01:15:53.400 --> 01:15:55.720
Downstairs, what do I know?

1278
01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:58.720
And so I think a lot of us have the notion

1279
01:15:58.720 --> 01:16:03.720
that if we learn more, we'll have more in God.

1280
01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:06.920
Not true, you'll just know more stuff.

1281
01:16:06.920 --> 01:16:09.640
And I love learning, obviously, I love learning.

1282
01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:12.320
I mean, no one can dispute that in my case,

1283
01:16:12.320 --> 01:16:13.760
you know, I really do.

1284
01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:16.040
I do love the learning, but what I found out

1285
01:16:16.040 --> 01:16:19.680
is that when it's heart-led, my mind,

1286
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:22.060
I think your IQ goes up when it's heart-led.

1287
01:16:22.060 --> 01:16:24.880
I think when you step into the upstairs learning,

1288
01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:26.960
I think your mind is not just renewed,

1289
01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:30.560
I think it's inspired, it's triggered, it's creative.

1290
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:32.280
I think your IQ literally goes up

1291
01:16:32.280 --> 01:16:35.400
and you get words of knowledge, words of revelation,

1292
01:16:35.400 --> 01:16:38.680
words of wisdom, the Holy Spirit throws his genius in there.

1293
01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:40.960
And when it all happens and everyone looks at you

1294
01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:42.400
and says, that was genius, and the Lord says,

1295
01:16:42.400 --> 01:16:44.600
I know you're a genius, but Lord, you did it.

1296
01:16:44.600 --> 01:16:46.000
I know you're a genius.

1297
01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:47.960
He loves to make us look good.

1298
01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:50.720
He loves us to be amazing.

1299
01:16:50.720 --> 01:16:53.240
You know, and I think there's this hesitation,

1300
01:16:53.240 --> 01:16:54.400
oh, we have to stay humble.

1301
01:16:54.920 --> 01:16:58.200
You can be humble, upstairs in your heart,

1302
01:16:58.200 --> 01:17:00.920
and let the world know you're amazing.

1303
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:03.840
Because as he is, so are you in this world,

1304
01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:07.280
and he's amazing, so guess where your destiny is?

1305
01:17:09.200 --> 01:17:10.540
Amazing.

1306
01:17:10.540 --> 01:17:11.760
You've got to be amazing.

1307
01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:13.720
You've got to be stunning to people.

1308
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:17.920
And so I love where you're going with that, Jenny.

1309
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:19.540
It takes time.

1310
01:17:19.540 --> 01:17:21.240
It's okay.

1311
01:17:21.240 --> 01:17:24.000
And just as we're learning, we're trusting him,

1312
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:25.840
and he's also trusting us.

1313
01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:27.760
Going back to does God learn?

1314
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:29.840
He's trusting us, and he's learning

1315
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:31.960
what we can be trusted with as well.

1316
01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:34.040
So, yep, we could talk.

1317
01:17:34.040 --> 01:17:36.280
I don't want to monopolize the conversation.

1318
01:17:37.120 --> 01:17:39.880
No, it's nice we're a handful so we can chat.

1319
01:17:39.880 --> 01:17:44.480
Well, any other thoughts, comments, guys?

1320
01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:48.160
So let's do this, since we're a small enough group.

1321
01:17:49.080 --> 01:17:50.940
I know we normally have more time.

1322
01:17:50.940 --> 01:17:53.360
We normally take a break, but I imagine you guys

1323
01:17:53.400 --> 01:17:54.920
prefer to have your time back.

1324
01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:56.560
So why don't we do this?

1325
01:17:56.560 --> 01:17:58.280
Why don't we take the next 20 minutes, wrap it up?

1326
01:17:58.280 --> 01:18:00.620
I'll try and wrap it up an hour early for you,

1327
01:18:00.620 --> 01:18:03.280
since we can get there much quicker this way.

1328
01:18:04.620 --> 01:18:05.720
I love these sessions.

1329
01:18:05.720 --> 01:18:08.060
I gotta tell you, these are my favorite things

1330
01:18:08.060 --> 01:18:09.320
to do in the month.

1331
01:18:09.320 --> 01:18:10.760
Of all the things we do at Brilliant,

1332
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:13.280
and I love a lot of what we do, this is my favorite,

1333
01:18:13.280 --> 01:18:16.200
because we get to speak at a level

1334
01:18:17.160 --> 01:18:19.960
that feels very free to me.

1335
01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:21.760
So here's what I would love.

1336
01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:24.000
Would you like to share,

1337
01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:26.640
what are some of your takeaways today?

1338
01:18:26.640 --> 01:18:29.480
What are some of the things you want to think through more,

1339
01:18:29.480 --> 01:18:32.680
talk to the Lord about, act, implement, whatever it is,

1340
01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:35.560
whatever your takeaway was, in whatever format.

1341
01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:37.520
Take a second, think about it,

1342
01:18:37.520 --> 01:18:40.160
and then we'll give everybody an opportunity.

1343
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:45.500
So, we covered a lot of territory today.

1344
01:18:49.360 --> 01:18:51.160
So while you're thinking about that,

1345
01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:57.600
I just wanted to say that the watching

1346
01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:00.480
and having personal conversations with many of you

1347
01:19:00.480 --> 01:19:02.920
on the SOS calls and so on,

1348
01:19:02.920 --> 01:19:06.920
and watching how you're starting to live upstairs

1349
01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:10.180
in your kingdom leadership has been very encouraging.

1350
01:19:10.180 --> 01:19:14.120
And, you know, I had someone say to me the other day,

1351
01:19:14.120 --> 01:19:16.160
you know, for us to do the 10X thing,

1352
01:19:16.160 --> 01:19:18.120
we're gonna have to go to a new level of rest

1353
01:19:18.120 --> 01:19:18.960
so that the yoke,

1354
01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:20.760
because the Lord's gonna have to pull most of the load

1355
01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:22.160
on this.

1356
01:19:22.160 --> 01:19:24.260
And that's exactly what he wants to hear.

1357
01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:26.360
All right.

1358
01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:30.560
So, Glenn, do you want to go first?

1359
01:19:32.480 --> 01:19:33.660
And then, or Emily,

1360
01:19:33.660 --> 01:19:35.840
you look like you just unmuted as well.

1361
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:38.360
Let's go Glenn, Emily, Jenny.

1362
01:19:38.360 --> 01:19:39.200
Okay.

1363
01:19:40.240 --> 01:19:41.680
Yeah, goodness.

1364
01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:43.080
I've taken a lot of notes,

1365
01:19:43.080 --> 01:19:45.040
lots to process with the Lord here.

1366
01:19:45.040 --> 01:19:48.000
This has been super encouraging to me.

1367
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:49.680
Just picking on a few things.

1368
01:19:49.680 --> 01:19:52.280
I think just from a pure encouragement point of view,

1369
01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:56.000
I love that last comment that you were talking about

1370
01:19:56.000 --> 01:20:01.000
where that, yeah, all things work together for good.

1371
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:02.960
Good, and his plans are immutable.

1372
01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:05.520
They're not gonna change, but the pathway to them will.

1373
01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:09.000
And I think that for me is very much a place

1374
01:20:09.000 --> 01:20:10.760
that I'm living in at the moment.

1375
01:20:10.760 --> 01:20:14.920
And I think that's a part of it.

1376
01:20:14.920 --> 01:20:17.720
I think another sort of key takeaway for me

1377
01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:20.520
is just focusing on the things I can shed.

1378
01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:23.880
I feel like I've accumulated a lot of stuff

1379
01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:28.640
in the last little while that started to become distracting

1380
01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:32.880
and reducing, and I needed to start

1381
01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:36.600
just getting, shedding a lot of stuff.

1382
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:39.120
So one of my takeaways is to go and sit down

1383
01:20:39.120 --> 01:20:40.640
and spend time with the Lord and say,

1384
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:41.640
okay, what are these things?

1385
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:43.920
And just build a plan to shed things.

1386
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:48.360
So that is great encouragement, yeah.

1387
01:20:49.240 --> 01:20:50.200
Oh, that's great.

1388
01:20:50.200 --> 01:20:51.760
Thank you.

1389
01:20:51.760 --> 01:20:52.600
Emily.

1390
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:58.600
I definitely rest in the sense of taking more territory,

1391
01:20:59.120 --> 01:21:03.040
not inner territory, but like just going into this space

1392
01:21:03.040 --> 01:21:08.040
with this huge company and just in that creative,

1393
01:21:11.440 --> 01:21:14.320
I just feel his creativeness and his rest

1394
01:21:14.320 --> 01:21:17.640
really filling me today in this conversation.

1395
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:22.240
And also the shedding piece that you shared

1396
01:21:22.880 --> 01:21:26.320
in the beginning, the tech, just being distracted

1397
01:21:26.320 --> 01:21:28.600
by social media and things like that.

1398
01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:32.080
And you just, your time goes by.

1399
01:21:32.080 --> 01:21:33.400
I think that's a helpful thing.

1400
01:21:33.400 --> 01:21:36.160
It just kind of makes things really nice and sharp

1401
01:21:36.160 --> 01:21:39.000
and in focus to get rid of like anything.

1402
01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:41.240
I'm always like, I don't want clutter.

1403
01:21:41.240 --> 01:21:44.720
I'm always making sure there's no clutter around

1404
01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:46.840
just because I don't like clutter, but yeah.

1405
01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:51.120
But the rest and the creativeness just today was so great.

1406
01:21:51.160 --> 01:21:53.720
And I'm just excited.

1407
01:21:53.720 --> 01:21:56.320
So that's my share.

1408
01:21:56.320 --> 01:21:57.320
That's great.

1409
01:21:57.320 --> 01:21:58.200
Thank you.

1410
01:21:58.200 --> 01:22:02.680
Jenny, we'll go to Vanessa and then Mark and then Bridget.

1411
01:22:04.400 --> 01:22:05.240
Yes.

1412
01:22:05.240 --> 01:22:09.000
So I feel like I kind of shared a lot of my takeaways

1413
01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:11.400
in that, but I'll summarize again,

1414
01:22:11.400 --> 01:22:15.640
really the circle of excellence and building my circle.

1415
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:20.640
So, and I think it's been happening naturally

1416
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:23.120
over the last several months,

1417
01:22:23.120 --> 01:22:27.920
but really building my circle of excellence

1418
01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:29.960
and staying in my circle and then shedding.

1419
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:34.880
So shedding, it seems really easy to shed the tasks

1420
01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:36.640
that drain your energy.

1421
01:22:36.640 --> 01:22:39.400
And so shedding, I think thought processes

1422
01:22:39.400 --> 01:22:42.520
that drain my energy, I think is what I would like

1423
01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:45.440
to really go and have a conversation

1424
01:22:45.440 --> 01:22:47.480
with the Lord about after this.

1425
01:22:47.480 --> 01:22:49.720
What thoughts do I need to just,

1426
01:22:49.760 --> 01:22:51.760
I love a sentence that you gave.

1427
01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:53.840
I heard you say it several, several months ago.

1428
01:22:53.840 --> 01:22:57.360
And I really love this sentence because it's a cue for me.

1429
01:22:57.360 --> 01:22:59.640
It just really helps me, you know, when you hear something

1430
01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:01.160
and you can just let something go

1431
01:23:01.160 --> 01:23:03.240
or unlock something in your heart.

1432
01:23:03.240 --> 01:23:08.080
So it opens your heart to really receive the bigger thing.

1433
01:23:08.080 --> 01:23:11.440
And that sentence is, you're not obligated to that.

1434
01:23:11.440 --> 01:23:15.200
So when, so I love that Glenn brought up

1435
01:23:15.200 --> 01:23:16.560
the doubt management.

1436
01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:18.560
So if a doubt comes up,

1437
01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:20.680
Jen, you're not obligated to that.

1438
01:23:20.680 --> 01:23:22.200
Oh, so what am I obligated to?

1439
01:23:22.200 --> 01:23:25.000
Oh, I'm obligated to your confidence,

1440
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:26.880
your peace, your assurance.

1441
01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:30.920
So switching it there, it just really just gives that cue

1442
01:23:30.920 --> 01:23:34.840
to switch the way that I'm thinking about something.

1443
01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:36.760
So that's what I'm gonna take away.

1444
01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:37.960
Oh, that's really good.

1445
01:23:37.960 --> 01:23:40.120
Yeah, it's so cool when you just say to people,

1446
01:23:40.120 --> 01:23:41.080
what do you think about this?

1447
01:23:41.080 --> 01:23:42.920
I don't have an opinion.

1448
01:23:42.920 --> 01:23:43.960
We get asked all the time,

1449
01:23:43.960 --> 01:23:44.960
what do you think of this ministry?

1450
01:23:44.960 --> 01:23:46.040
What do you think of this guy's book?

1451
01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:49.840
What do you think of this woman's coaching program?

1452
01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:51.480
Whatever, and I go, I have no opinions.

1453
01:23:51.480 --> 01:23:54.120
I only want his opinion on what we're doing.

1454
01:23:54.120 --> 01:23:55.560
Bless them.

1455
01:23:55.560 --> 01:23:56.920
I hope they do well.

1456
01:23:57.960 --> 01:23:59.320
Wish them well.

1457
01:23:59.320 --> 01:24:01.240
All right, Vanessa.

1458
01:24:01.240 --> 01:24:02.720
Then we'll go to Mark and Bridget.

1459
01:24:02.720 --> 01:24:04.520
Hey, Vanessa, so nice to have you.

1460
01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:07.760
I hope you've enjoyed your first session with us.

1461
01:24:07.760 --> 01:24:08.760
I was just going to say,

1462
01:24:08.760 --> 01:24:12.240
thank you so much for including me in this.

1463
01:24:12.240 --> 01:24:14.200
This has been really eye-opening for me.

1464
01:24:14.200 --> 01:24:16.240
It's been a totally different experience

1465
01:24:16.240 --> 01:24:20.080
than other mastermind sort of situations

1466
01:24:20.080 --> 01:24:21.240
that I've been involved in.

1467
01:24:21.240 --> 01:24:26.240
So this is very refreshing and I appreciate it very much.

1468
01:24:26.280 --> 01:24:28.000
So thanks.

1469
01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:30.240
There were several things that I took out of this.

1470
01:24:30.240 --> 01:24:32.440
One was the circle of excellence.

1471
01:24:33.360 --> 01:24:38.360
I go back to something often in my talk to myself,

1472
01:24:39.120 --> 01:24:41.440
which is just because you can do something

1473
01:24:41.440 --> 01:24:43.360
doesn't mean you should do it.

1474
01:24:43.440 --> 01:24:48.440
And so that was something that is important

1475
01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:52.920
to remind ourselves, I think,

1476
01:24:52.920 --> 01:24:56.560
as we're going through life and our business life

1477
01:24:56.560 --> 01:24:58.880
is just because we have the capability

1478
01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:00.480
of doing something doesn't mean.

1479
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:02.280
that somebody else isn't better equipped to do it.

1480
01:25:02.280 --> 01:25:06.120
And the other thing is, when you first brought up

1481
01:25:06.120 --> 01:25:09.960
the whole 10x question, my mind sort of,

1482
01:25:11.120 --> 01:25:14.320
I mean, my immediate reaction was,

1483
01:25:14.320 --> 01:25:19.120
ah, 10x, that seems like so much to think about, right?

1484
01:25:19.120 --> 01:25:21.480
And so much to take on.

1485
01:25:21.480 --> 01:25:23.720
And I think a lot of people have that reaction

1486
01:25:23.720 --> 01:25:25.640
when you talk about 10x-ing something,

1487
01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:28.800
it's how could I possibly do more

1488
01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:32.480
or add more to my plate than I currently have?

1489
01:25:32.480 --> 01:25:35.800
And so then you went into talking about shedding things.

1490
01:25:35.800 --> 01:25:38.440
And I thought, okay, if I just flip-flop that

1491
01:25:38.440 --> 01:25:40.400
and shed the things that I don't need to do,

1492
01:25:40.400 --> 01:25:45.400
now I have the mind space to think about 10x-ing, right?

1493
01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:47.400
If I get rid of these other things,

1494
01:25:47.400 --> 01:25:48.920
now I can actually think about that

1495
01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:50.280
and it's comfortable to think about

1496
01:25:50.280 --> 01:25:52.400
instead of that reaction of,

1497
01:25:52.400 --> 01:25:55.840
I can't do any more than I am right now.

1498
01:25:55.840 --> 01:25:58.320
And so one of the things that I need to shed

1499
01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:02.400
that I spend a lot of time on is,

1500
01:26:02.400 --> 01:26:06.560
I can't stand, and we're probably a lot like this,

1501
01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:10.520
I cannot stand wasting time, it drives me crazy.

1502
01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:12.040
When people waste my time,

1503
01:26:12.040 --> 01:26:14.720
when I waste my time, it drives me nuts.

1504
01:26:14.720 --> 01:26:17.960
But I just realized throughout this conversation,

1505
01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:21.120
I'm not even sure what triggered this realization,

1506
01:26:21.120 --> 01:26:23.160
that the amount of time I spend

1507
01:26:23.160 --> 01:26:25.760
complaining about having my time wasted

1508
01:26:27.320 --> 01:26:29.480
is actually doubling the time.

1509
01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:31.840
That's so good.

1510
01:26:32.720 --> 01:26:36.600
So I'm actually like exacerbating the problem

1511
01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:38.800
rather than just dealing with it.

1512
01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:40.640
So that's one of the things I'm going to shed

1513
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:42.520
is my reaction to wasting time,

1514
01:26:42.520 --> 01:26:44.720
like whether it's me or anybody else.

1515
01:26:44.720 --> 01:26:47.240
And then also having permission,

1516
01:26:47.240 --> 01:26:49.840
I feel like this conversation has given me permission

1517
01:26:50.320 --> 01:26:54.280
to ask the 10x question to all areas of my life

1518
01:26:54.280 --> 01:26:56.480
rather than just business.

1519
01:26:56.480 --> 01:26:57.800
Right.

1520
01:26:57.800 --> 01:26:58.640
Love that.

1521
01:26:58.640 --> 01:26:59.480
Love that.

1522
01:26:59.480 --> 01:27:00.320
Thank you.

1523
01:27:00.320 --> 01:27:01.160
That was very succinct.

1524
01:27:01.160 --> 01:27:02.000
That was really funny.

1525
01:27:04.160 --> 01:27:06.280
Wasting more time by complaining about people

1526
01:27:06.280 --> 01:27:07.640
wasting your time.

1527
01:27:07.640 --> 01:27:09.160
Yeah, I love that.

1528
01:27:09.160 --> 01:27:10.000
That's great.

1529
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:11.000
Okay.

1530
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:13.720
Mark, and then Bridget, we'll wrap it up.

1531
01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:15.960
Yeah, that was great.

1532
01:27:17.480 --> 01:27:18.320
Yeah, I guess for me,

1533
01:27:18.320 --> 01:27:20.800
one of the takeaways is what we just originally discussed.

1534
01:27:20.800 --> 01:27:22.360
I didn't realize that,

1535
01:27:22.360 --> 01:27:26.040
it's funny how the Lord just takes you right to the point

1536
01:27:26.040 --> 01:27:28.920
when I was just kind of flippantly responding

1537
01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:30.360
to your request before.

1538
01:27:30.360 --> 01:27:31.720
It was just like, yeah,

1539
01:27:31.720 --> 01:27:34.640
just the whole area of faith for me right now.

1540
01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:41.840
And what the Lord is doing and asking me,

1541
01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:44.920
and who does he want me to become?

1542
01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:47.320
And kind of the other side of that,

1543
01:27:48.280 --> 01:27:51.600
and, or who do I need to become

1544
01:27:52.680 --> 01:27:57.440
to this next stage of my life?

1545
01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:02.760
I mean, well, my life, my business, whatever.

1546
01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:05.280
I guess maybe I should disclose a little more

1547
01:28:05.280 --> 01:28:07.080
because I've got things going on in the background

1548
01:28:07.080 --> 01:28:09.680
that just personal things.

1549
01:28:09.680 --> 01:28:12.360
I got engaged on February 14th.

1550
01:28:12.360 --> 01:28:13.400
Oh yeah.

1551
01:28:13.400 --> 01:28:14.520
Congratulations.

1552
01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:16.440
That's going to be big,

1553
01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:20.360
not only over in my personal life,

1554
01:28:20.360 --> 01:28:24.040
but she has a great business acumen.

1555
01:28:24.040 --> 01:28:26.440
So, I mean, we'd love to discuss business.

1556
01:28:26.440 --> 01:28:27.280
That's one of the things-

1557
01:28:27.280 --> 01:28:28.840
So you married your 10X, that's your plan.

1558
01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:29.800
Right, there you go.

1559
01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:31.400
There you go.

1560
01:28:31.400 --> 01:28:32.600
Very practical of you.

1561
01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:35.840
Very smart, if you can't do it yourself,

1562
01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:37.440
marry into it, it's all right.

1563
01:28:37.440 --> 01:28:38.280
Right.

1564
01:28:40.040 --> 01:28:42.560
And then the big question of shedding.

1565
01:28:42.600 --> 01:28:44.800
So yeah, I mean, that all comes through

1566
01:28:44.800 --> 01:28:47.280
with who I am becoming, you know?

1567
01:28:47.280 --> 01:28:49.240
So yeah, those are the things

1568
01:28:49.240 --> 01:28:52.920
that I want to spend some more time with the Lord on.

1569
01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:54.360
That's fantastic.

1570
01:28:54.360 --> 01:28:55.920
Bridget, thanks Mark.

1571
01:28:55.920 --> 01:28:57.920
Congratulations again.

1572
01:28:57.920 --> 01:29:00.920
Yeah, congratulations Mark, that's exciting.

1573
01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:03.000
I loved it today.

1574
01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:04.280
I think it's always encouraging.

1575
01:29:04.280 --> 01:29:07.160
And I think as much as one has those conversations

1576
01:29:07.160 --> 01:29:09.680
about shedding, you can have them over and over again

1577
01:29:09.680 --> 01:29:11.880
because you move up and then you realize

1578
01:29:12.200 --> 01:29:14.040
you've got other things that the Lord's calling you to.

1579
01:29:14.040 --> 01:29:16.880
So it's a good to, not necessarily every month

1580
01:29:16.880 --> 01:29:18.400
but just to kind of keep coming back

1581
01:29:18.400 --> 01:29:20.040
and checking in on that.

1582
01:29:20.040 --> 01:29:23.320
And I think one of my takeaways

1583
01:29:23.320 --> 01:29:25.760
is just remember of who you're becoming.

1584
01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:28.440
And sometimes we forget the distance we've moved

1585
01:29:28.440 --> 01:29:31.080
because we're so focused on where we are

1586
01:29:31.080 --> 01:29:31.920
and where we're going,

1587
01:29:31.920 --> 01:29:33.160
we forget the distance we've covered

1588
01:29:33.160 --> 01:29:34.720
and what you're becoming.

1589
01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:36.680
And I think something that Jenny said,

1590
01:29:36.680 --> 01:29:40.560
I think sometimes I second guess my decisions.

1591
01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:42.560
So it's a little bit of that doubt management

1592
01:29:42.560 --> 01:29:44.080
that Glenn was saying,

1593
01:29:44.080 --> 01:29:47.000
and I know it bothers Dion whenever we make a decision

1594
01:29:47.000 --> 01:29:48.880
and I come back and I'll say, but what about this?

1595
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:50.960
And he's like, didn't we discuss this already?

1596
01:29:50.960 --> 01:29:53.200
And I almost think that sometimes the Lord wants us

1597
01:29:53.200 --> 01:29:55.600
to just take it for an answer and move on with it.

1598
01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:58.320
So I think it is a good reminder for me today.

1599
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.080
That's really great. Back to the shedding, several of you brought that up.

1600
01:30:03.280 --> 01:30:05.880
So maybe just a closing comment around that.

1601
01:30:06.080 --> 01:30:10.320
What was helpful is you don't have to go into this like,

1602
01:30:10.520 --> 01:30:14.520
you know, excessive shedding structural thing in your life,

1603
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:21.200
but maybe make it more a part of your lifestyle and maybe do it by quarter,

1604
01:30:21.400 --> 01:30:24.000
you know, so that you're you're not just shedding,

1605
01:30:24.200 --> 01:30:27.880
but you're trying to step into something in 10x, the two go together.

1606
01:30:28.080 --> 01:30:31.000
We shed something to free up the time

1607
01:30:31.200 --> 01:30:33.880
and effort so we can focus on what we're 10xing.

1608
01:30:34.080 --> 01:30:38.680
And if we're trying to 10x too many things or shed too many things at the same time,

1609
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:42.320
they're unlikely to become permanent lifestyle elements.

1610
01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:44.120
We'll just find ourselves slipping back

1611
01:30:44.320 --> 01:30:47.480
to the old because we know it takes 90 days to really move something,

1612
01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:52.520
30 days to get the initial habits set, but really 90 day for it to become feel

1613
01:30:52.720 --> 01:30:56.120
like it's part of who you are, your natural lifestyle now.

1614
01:30:56.320 --> 01:31:01.680
So I do like Dan Sullivan's idea of doing this exercise every 90 days.

1615
01:31:01.880 --> 01:31:07.800
And I wonder if it's helpful if we could even set that up into the schedule.

1616
01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:10.560
Yeah, here in a circle where we go, OK,

1617
01:31:10.760 --> 01:31:14.200
reminder this week or this month, you know, whatever.

1618
01:31:14.400 --> 01:31:19.080
Do the do the shedding thing and the 10xing thing.

1619
01:31:19.280 --> 01:31:24.000
I think the people who grow the fastest are the ones who are the freest.

1620
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:27.560
And so recently the Lord was gave me this

1621
01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:30.560
insight that has become very precious to me.

1622
01:31:30.760 --> 01:31:34.880
He said, when you find your freedom, you find your purpose.

1623
01:31:35.080 --> 01:31:37.920
And when you find your people, you find your focus.

1624
01:31:38.120 --> 01:31:41.800
Now, I know it's usually said I've heard it said like when you find

1625
01:31:42.000 --> 01:31:45.280
your people, you find your purpose, I think is much more than that.

1626
01:31:45.480 --> 01:31:49.520
I think from a kingdom viewpoint, when you find your free, it is for freedom.

1627
01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:51.040
Christ set you free.

1628
01:31:51.240 --> 01:31:52.680
He didn't set you free for service.

1629
01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:57.640
He set you free so that you can be free to fully choose him and he fully choose you.

1630
01:31:57.840 --> 01:32:02.000
For him, it's always relational, not transactional.

1631
01:32:02.200 --> 01:32:05.000
And I think that when I realized when you

1632
01:32:05.200 --> 01:32:09.080
find you have to find your freedom and the more you step into freedom,

1633
01:32:09.280 --> 01:32:11.600
the clearer your purpose gets.

1634
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:14.960
So if you're feeling a bit foggy around the purpose area,

1635
01:32:15.160 --> 01:32:19.720
it's the freedom that needs the attention, not the purpose itself,

1636
01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:24.000
because I think we reason we have the foggy view is because we have some sort

1637
01:32:24.200 --> 01:32:28.880
of, you know, spectacles on that's clouded and we can't quite see.

1638
01:32:29.080 --> 01:32:32.640
And when we take them off, we take off the restriction.

1639
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:37.680
We'll talk about that on Friday and Saturday at our limitless event.

1640
01:32:37.880 --> 01:32:42.000
We're running a what do we have over 8000 people coming to that so far and more.

1641
01:32:42.200 --> 01:32:43.480
It's going to be a big event for us.

1642
01:32:43.680 --> 01:32:47.960
And so with that, the limitless event, if you don't know about it,

1643
01:32:48.000 --> 01:32:51.360
if anybody wants to know about it, maybe, Jenny, I know it's not.

1644
01:32:51.560 --> 01:32:54.840
We didn't plan to promote it, but you can actually go to.

1645
01:32:55.040 --> 01:32:57.320
I'm sure Jenny can just drop in the chat there.

1646
01:32:57.520 --> 01:32:58.520
Yeah, thank you.

1647
01:32:58.720 --> 01:33:02.920
What the the limitless event, one of the big drivers we're going to talk about is

1648
01:33:03.120 --> 01:33:09.040
every limitation that you have in your relationship with God is learned.

1649
01:33:09.240 --> 01:33:12.400
And you learned it downstairs.

1650
01:33:13.120 --> 01:33:17.720
Every single one, God can't this, I don't do that, I can't, I'm not.

1651
01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:20.360
I'm this. Any of those limitations are all learned

1652
01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:22.280
and they all learn from downstairs.

1653
01:33:22.480 --> 01:33:27.280
You cannot use downstairs learning to create an upstairs lifestyle,

1654
01:33:27.480 --> 01:33:33.880
but you can take an upstairs learning and make a downstairs lifestyle for sure.

1655
01:33:34.080 --> 01:33:38.360
So I wanted to just give you this amazing freedom.

1656
01:33:38.560 --> 01:33:41.440
You know, even if you don't, even if you're new to the whole

1657
01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:46.120
processes that we're talking about here and as new people join all the time,

1658
01:33:46.280 --> 01:33:48.720
we kind of go through it again and again.

1659
01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:52.240
If you don't know how, you don't know which question to ask the Lord.

1660
01:33:52.440 --> 01:33:55.080
We always say questions is a great way

1661
01:33:55.280 --> 01:34:00.440
to to relationally engage with the Lord and to start your direct learning.

1662
01:34:00.640 --> 01:34:05.680
And if you don't know the questions, you can you can ask for help with that.

1663
01:34:05.880 --> 01:34:08.440
Lord, I don't even know what question to ask you.

1664
01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:09.560
Could you help me?

1665
01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:12.920
What's the question I need most now?

1666
01:34:13.080 --> 01:34:15.120
And that will come to you maybe straight

1667
01:34:15.120 --> 01:34:18.680
away or maybe a period of a few days or weeks, or you have a conversation.

1668
01:34:18.680 --> 01:34:20.320
Yes. I mean, that's the question.

1669
01:34:20.520 --> 01:34:22.120
That's the thing I need now.

1670
01:34:22.320 --> 01:34:27.840
So he'll even help you ask the question so that he can answer it with you.

1671
01:34:28.040 --> 01:34:33.160
And so for many of us, you know, it's a new approach, direct learning.

1672
01:34:33.360 --> 01:34:39.120
And so enjoy it because he enjoys your learning so you can enjoy it, too.

1673
01:34:39.320 --> 01:34:41.040
Well, let me take a minute. Pray for us.

1674
01:34:41.040 --> 01:34:44.640
And we're going to end it an hour early, which I'll give you your time back.

1675
01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:47.880
And thank you so much for for joining us today.

1676
01:34:48.080 --> 01:34:53.480
This has been a lot of fun for me and I hope helpful to you.

1677
01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:58.360
Father, you are amazing.

1678
01:34:58.560 --> 01:34:59.800
You're so kind.

1679
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:06.180
So good and we're so comforted by the fact that your purposes are immovable

1680
01:35:07.040 --> 01:35:13.360
Thank you for your promise and now we can contract like writing an agreement. We can contract with you for your help

1681
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:15.760
for your protection

1682
01:35:15.760 --> 01:35:21.360
Lord for you fashioning us into the weapon. You mean us for the fight you called us to

1683
01:35:21.920 --> 01:35:26.160
And then thank you lord that you just step in and do a whole bunch of stuff. Anyway, in addition

1684
01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:28.720
Thank you that you're in it with us

1685
01:35:29.200 --> 01:35:33.360
Thank you. We get to do it with you and that we don't have to do it for you

1686
01:35:34.160 --> 01:35:36.160
Lord, I love that you're setting us free

1687
01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:43.920
so I pray lord for everyone here for the people listening to the replay for such a clarity of freedom so that

1688
01:35:44.400 --> 01:35:46.400
They can have clarity of purpose

1689
01:35:47.040 --> 01:35:50.160
And lord, I I ask you that in this next month

1690
01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:56.320
That you would reveal yourself to us in that way for those who are going through the

1691
01:35:57.120 --> 01:36:03.360
Shedding process lord. I ask for such a liberty and freedom that comes from that process for those who

1692
01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:06.960
Who are focusing on what they're going to 10x with you next?

1693
01:36:07.680 --> 01:36:12.240
Maybe it's in their relationship with you even just confidence in hearing your voice

1694
01:36:13.040 --> 01:36:18.400
I ask lord that this will be a place of such freedom that will lead them to such clarity of purpose

1695
01:36:18.480 --> 01:36:21.120
I pray that in the name of jesus. Amen

1696
01:36:22.160 --> 01:36:24.160
Amen. Thank you everybody

1697
01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:26.880
Bless you. Bye
