00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:14.640
Hey, Marcella, how's it going?

2
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:22.800
We're doing well, doing well.

3
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.680
Things going well for you?

4
00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:25.680
Great.

5
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:35.160
We're progressing, we're going, you know, I always want, you know, I always want the

6
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:41.160
success in the place where I want it, but it's still progressing.

7
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:42.160
Hey.

8
00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:43.160
Awesome.

9
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:46.480
Are you, any other crazy viral videos recently?

10
00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:51.160
Oh, crazy viral.

11
00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:54.720
I think that one I've reposted, it's almost at 10,000.

12
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:59.280
Oh, so the one that got 16,000 is now 10,000?

13
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.440
No, the one that got, the one that's, that's, it's 16,000, but the, this other one that

14
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:10.240
I had reposted, you mentioned me to go back, like, find a different video and post it.

15
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:11.240
Yeah.

16
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:16.200
It got, it's almost at 10,000 on TikTok and I am getting more views on Instagram.

17
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:21.360
Like this one, I posted this week at 700 views for my Psalm 23.

18
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:23.360
So that's on IG.

19
00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:24.640
Perfect.

20
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.960
That's awesome.

21
00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:26.960
We're just progressing.

22
00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:30.840
I'm just, I'm like this with the Lord, like, Lord, whatever you want to do, whatever you

23
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.080
want to do, have your way.

24
00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:34.080
That's great.

25
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:39.720
Well, that's, that's exciting to see the, at least you can like having one video get,

26
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:42.400
you know, crazy views, being able to do it a second, third time.

27
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.400
That's, that's encouraging.

28
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:44.400
So.

29
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:45.400
Yeah.

30
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.440
Hey Jennifer and Holly, how are you guys doing?

31
00:01:47.440 --> 00:01:53.760
You guys have any quick wins to share as we jump in?

32
00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:56.480
I got some ads going, which was good.

33
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.480
Good.

34
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.480
Yeah.

35
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.480
Yeah.

36
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.480
Nice.

37
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:01.480
And I haven't made ads for my community.

38
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.280
I was kind of doing a tester just to see like what did well.

39
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.479
And it was more just to get, you know, more followers and stuff like that.

40
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.479
But it worked.

41
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.520
I mean, I got, I got a lot of more viewers and followers, so it definitely worked.

42
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.520
Nice.

43
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.520
That's awesome.

44
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.040
Any, this is the first time you run ads?

45
00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:19.040
Yeah.

46
00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:20.040
First time.

47
00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:21.040
Okay.

48
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:22.040
Very cool.

49
00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:23.040
That's exciting.

50
00:02:23.320 --> 00:02:24.320
Yeah.

51
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:28.320
Sometimes that hardest, the hardest.

52
00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:29.320
That's awesome.

53
00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:30.320
Yeah.

54
00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:33.560
That hardest mindset is just going from that zero to one, like never running ads to like,

55
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:34.560
now you've run ads.

56
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.240
Now you're, now you've run ads.

57
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.640
Now it's not that big of a deal and keep doing it.

58
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:39.640
Yeah.

59
00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:40.640
Awesome.

60
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:41.640
Awesome.

61
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:42.640
Jennifer, hey Cindy, how's it going?

62
00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:43.640
You guys have any wins?

63
00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:44.640
How's it going with your communities?

64
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:45.640
Good.

65
00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:52.720
I mean, I feel like I'm just gaining more clarity on kind of how to do the second round

66
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:54.400
of this.

67
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.120
So I'm wrapping up my four weeks course, getting a lot of their input.

68
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.120
I'm going to kind of do it like prerecorded, prerecorded the four videos now and going

69
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:09.240
to have them like watch it ahead of time to drive traffic to the actual tribe app.

70
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.760
I think that that gets them like, they're engaged more than the live zoom calls and

71
00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:19.080
then do the, like kind of what we're doing, like a weekly Q and A.

72
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.960
But I think like to get them engaged and build community, I'll just have it prerecorded.

73
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:24.960
So I'm excited.

74
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.440
I felt like just breakthrough and getting a really high quality four week course.

75
00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:35.840
And then some more, you know, kind of downloads from God and how to navigate kind of the client

76
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.840
journey.

77
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:42.680
And so I'll be kind of doing round two, probably more like a beginning of April.

78
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.400
But I'm excited for like to redo this and then because I'm building a new platform.

79
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:48.400
So we'll see.

80
00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:49.880
That's exciting.

81
00:03:49.880 --> 00:03:50.880
That's great.

82
00:03:50.880 --> 00:03:51.880
Soup.

83
00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:52.880
Awesome.

84
00:03:52.880 --> 00:03:53.880
Well, good.

85
00:03:53.880 --> 00:03:56.880
Well, we're going to jump in here.

86
00:03:56.880 --> 00:04:00.960
Let me make sure I've got we're recording and I'm just make sure this is that speaker.

87
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:01.960
Here we go.

88
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:07.440
So we will jump in and guys, this, this, the only thing for this week is Thursday.

89
00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:11.120
We're going to be that first like live office hour.

90
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.400
So we'll hang out for two hours on Thursday and just bring.

91
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.440
So if you guys want to bring your ads, if you want to bring your creative, like your

92
00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:23.520
landing pages, whatever, like we're just gonna be a little bit more of a calm time to just

93
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:28.660
open stuff up and we can just spend, you know, as long as we need to kind of fixing stuff.

94
00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:32.520
And also if you are just thinking of needing to get something done, we're going to use

95
00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:35.520
that as like an intense work session so you can show up.

96
00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:38.040
We're all going to say, hey, by the end of these two hours, like I'm going to do this

97
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.040
deep work session.

98
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.800
You can have us on in the background or mute or whatever, but then it kind of gives you

99
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.080
a deadline to, to get some, like whatever that next thing is.

100
00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:50.480
So we're going to do that each, each week on Thursday through March, and then we'll

101
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.480
jump into it.

102
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:59.200
So today we have a guest, one of Lindsey and our closest couple friends, Stephen and Chelsea

103
00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:00.000
Diaz have been.

104
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.760
incredible. If you guys are familiar with 100x and Rainmakers, they have launched Rainmakers

105
00:05:05.760 --> 00:05:11.120
in a while and just been an incredible example of kingdom entrepreneurs that are just taking

106
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.480
ground for the kingdom in a lot of different ways. And we're honored to have them as friends. And

107
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.000
Stephen was incredibly generous and like coming to hang out with us and to share some things with us

108
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:28.880
and super excited to have him. So Stephen, I'm going to turn it over to you. And if you're good,

109
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:33.280
I think your camera's up. There we go. What's up guys. Good to see y'all. What's up Holly,

110
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:42.240
Jennifer, Jack, Cindy, Dr. Marcello, Macy. How's it going guys? Excited to be with y'all. Bruce

111
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.880
was telling me about this group of go-getters and really kind of just leaning into what I should

112
00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:54.080
share with you. And there is so much I could share with you, but I really felt like we're just going

113
00:05:54.080 --> 00:05:59.040
to tell some stories today. I really felt like, you know, I learned from Jesus. Jesus told a lot

114
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.920
of stories and we still talk about those stories to this day. So I hope I can tell you some stories

115
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.960
that impact you and maybe even generations to come. Is that cool with you guys that we do that

116
00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:15.280
today? Now, as I was kind of thinking about this group and what you guys are putting your hand to,

117
00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:20.720
you know, if you don't know me, we run a company called the Rainmaker family. It's on the wall

118
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:27.840
there. We really cut our teeth with entrepreneurship, with a service-based

119
00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:33.120
business. We were wedding photographers, my wife and I, for 11 years. So every Saturday

120
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.400
shooting weddings and really kind of dreaming for something more. You know, we loved weddings

121
00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:44.400
because it was really cool to like do something that had a legacy impact, hopefully, right? Like

122
00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:49.440
50% of those people, it's stuck together. And that picture we were taking, right? Like would

123
00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:53.760
last for generations. And someday, you know, their daughter would be flipping their wedding

124
00:06:53.760 --> 00:06:58.080
album. There's our picture. We like that idea of having impact on families. And we would do that.

125
00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:02.560
We kind of prophesy over them. This is for the grandkids, snap, right? And there was something

126
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.120
about it that we loved, but we knew there was something else for us too, that was like, man,

127
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.800
we really want to impact families in this way of building legacy. And that's where the Rainmaker

128
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.000
family, I keep pointing that way, but it's over here. The Rainmaker family came from,

129
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.000
we help families launch physical product businesses. And in our community, we have about

130
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:29.440
five to six brands launch every week. Now we have someone hit six figures every 11.7 days on average

131
00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:36.240
in our community. We hit the Inc 5,000 list, fastest growing companies in America in 2023,

132
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:43.280
we were number 148 on that list. So it's been an insane wild ride. And I share like the little

133
00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:49.120
highlight reel with you, but Bruce knows it's also been intense, you know? And so I'm so glad

134
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.320
you guys are in a community like this because community literally is life or death as an

135
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:58.800
entrepreneur. I feel like you're riding a rollercoaster automatically as you get an entrepreneurship.

136
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.840
And if you're riding alone, you're not going to ride long, right? It's not really fun to

137
00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:05.200
ride a rollercoaster by yourself. What are you going to do? Like raise your hands. And I don't

138
00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:09.280
know. It's not as fun. Okay. You guys are doing this in community. And Bruce has been that for

139
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:14.160
me and Chelsea. I can't tell you how many times I've called Bruce freaking out or Chelsea's called

140
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:19.520
Lindsay freaking out. And they talk us off the ledge. They remind us who we are. And it's the

141
00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:24.240
thing that keeps us going. And so huge thanks to Bruce, but also kudos to you guys for being in a

142
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:29.280
community like this, because it truly is like, these are your people, you know? These are your

143
00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:34.320
people. And Bruce, I am recording here, I think on Ecamm. So I just remembered. I appreciate you

144
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.600
giving the context because I feel like I did a horrible job, uh, in showing you. So, uh, that,

145
00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:45.840
that's all good. Really good brag on myself, but I'll also give you guys the real talk. So,

146
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:52.240
um, you know, uh, I would say going back, like if I could tell my earlier entrepreneurial self,

147
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.760
you know what I mean? Like, um, these are some things like, this is what I tell them. So that's

148
00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:03.680
what I'm going to go in with you guys on today. And, uh, almost like I would with my sons. Like

149
00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:06.960
I have a five-year-old, so he doesn't really understand this stuff as much, but I do try to

150
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.360
teach them these mindsets. But I feel like, you know, you're in this community and Bruce

151
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.960
has really an ability, uh, and a system to create wealth, right? All of you guys have this thing

152
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.000
inside of you. And ultimately people trade dollars for things they value. You guys have

153
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.960
something crazy, valuable, a message to put out there that people are going to be trading dollars

154
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.760
for. And so I'd be kind of remiss if I didn't like, you know, like when I got my license,

155
00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:37.520
you know, my mom sat me down and just like a good parent would, she's like, this, you know,

156
00:09:37.520 --> 00:09:41.840
this is an incredible responsibility. You know, like a car is amazing. You're going to get all

157
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.480
these freedoms, but like also can kill people, you know? And she had to have that real talk

158
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:53.440
with me being like, Hey, this is, this is incredible, but also like, this is life or death.

159
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:58.160
And so like, I need you to know, like, like that's love, right? So I wanted to love on you guys a

160
00:09:58.160 --> 00:09:58.720
little bit because.

161
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.760
what you guys carry, just looking around this room,

162
00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:04.560
being in this group, I know that there is success,

163
00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:06.240
there is money, there's all the things,

164
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.800
like this stuff that like,

165
00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:09.440
people, if they asked me five years ago,

166
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.380
what's your five-year goal?

167
00:10:10.380 --> 00:10:11.980
I would have never predicted

168
00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:14.360
that we'd have a hundred employees working for us,

169
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.880
you know, and like, we'd be impacting thousands.

170
00:10:16.880 --> 00:10:18.640
Like, I just would have never predicted that.

171
00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:20.820
That could be some of your future.

172
00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:22.400
And so, as we kind of go into that

173
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:24.680
and you're getting the keys to this car,

174
00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:26.040
I want to kind of have some real talk

175
00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:30.320
and just like my mom did, like, love on you guys

176
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.840
by saying, hey, money is, it's an amazing thing,

177
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.340
it's a tool, but it's also kind of like a,

178
00:10:37.780 --> 00:10:42.280
it's like, I heard, I think it was the finance guy at Bethel

179
00:10:42.280 --> 00:10:44.240
he had this quote about money, it was like,

180
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.120
money's like turning the blender on full speed,

181
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.000
like when you add money without the top on, right?

182
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.720
And so money will only just amplify

183
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:52.560
what's already in your heart.

184
00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:54.560
Your heart is like everything that's in the blender.

185
00:10:54.560 --> 00:10:55.800
And so you're in this room,

186
00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:56.920
you're probably an amazing person.

187
00:10:56.920 --> 00:10:58.120
You probably have generosity in your heart.

188
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.280
You probably have, you know, giving back in your heart.

189
00:11:00.280 --> 00:11:02.140
You probably have all these amazing things.

190
00:11:02.140 --> 00:11:04.040
So when we add money, it's only going to amplify that

191
00:11:04.040 --> 00:11:06.020
and blow that all over the walls, right?

192
00:11:06.020 --> 00:11:08.520
But if there is a couple of cracks or traps,

193
00:11:08.520 --> 00:11:10.560
it will amplify that as well, right?

194
00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:14.440
And so that's why we do so much like nurturing of the roots

195
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:15.480
before you see the fruits.

196
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.120
And so I'm going to share my screen

197
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.600
because I had some slides

198
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.920
from another time I was telling these stories

199
00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:22.200
and I'm going to see if I can share this.

200
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:23.640
Let's see, continue.

201
00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:25.560
And then there we go.

202
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:26.800
You guys are going to see kind of the,

203
00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:28.800
like the little bit rough version

204
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:30.800
because I'm just in canvas, that's okay.

205
00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:32.880
So let me know if you guys can see that.

206
00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:34.080
Just give me a thumbs up.

207
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:35.600
You'll see three money traps to avoid.

208
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.080
Do you guys see that?

209
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:38.520
Okay, wait.

210
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:40.280
I see it, but now I don't see you guys.

211
00:11:40.280 --> 00:11:41.320
Okay, now there you are.

212
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:42.160
Okay, I like seeing you.

213
00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:44.120
So I'm bringing you guys back onto the screen.

214
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.880
This is the problem with having like two monitors

215
00:11:45.880 --> 00:11:47.040
that you guys disappear.

216
00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:47.880
Do you guys can see that?

217
00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:49.280
Yeah?

218
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:51.920
Okay, so these are three money traps to avoid.

219
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:53.840
As you guys start to see fruit in your business,

220
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.400
start to see money coming through,

221
00:11:55.400 --> 00:11:56.800
these are things that can take you up

222
00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:58.360
or they can take you out, okay?

223
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.440
And so we're big believers in nurturing roots

224
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.520
before you see the fruits, right?

225
00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:05.320
I don't want to just teach you, you know,

226
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.040
how to make a quick buck

227
00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:09.120
if it's just going to be stolen from you, right?

228
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.560
Like if you're going after generational change,

229
00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:13.800
not just for you, but for your family,

230
00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:17.000
breaking patterns of poverty over you

231
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.440
and generations to come,

232
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.600
you got to focus here, right?

233
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.760
Because how often do we see this?

234
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:23.440
Like a lot of winners, right?

235
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.280
They like come into a bunch of money

236
00:12:24.280 --> 00:12:26.480
and then it like destroys their life, right?

237
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.760
Or even like, you know, professional athletes

238
00:12:28.760 --> 00:12:30.440
who go bankrupt at an alarming rate

239
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.680
because they haven't done this nurturing of their roots

240
00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:34.160
and then they step into a bunch of money

241
00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:36.920
and then boom, it just like amplifies what's already there.

242
00:12:36.920 --> 00:12:38.280
We even see this with celebrities.

243
00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:40.800
There's a list of celebrities who lost all their money

244
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:41.720
at some point in their career.

245
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:42.560
Like it's crazy.

246
00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:44.360
There's some names on here like, wow,

247
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.040
I did not know that, right?

248
00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:47.560
And the reason is they didn't build

249
00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:48.960
this like deep root system.

250
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.840
They didn't build, you know,

251
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.200
the roots that could sustain the weight

252
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:55.560
of what was ahead of them.

253
00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:56.640
And you're in this room,

254
00:12:56.640 --> 00:12:57.680
you can probably could feel this.

255
00:12:57.680 --> 00:12:59.280
This is how I felt before Rainmakers.

256
00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:00.680
It was like, oh man,

257
00:13:00.680 --> 00:13:02.040
I feel like there's something on this.

258
00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:02.880
Does anyone raise your hand?

259
00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:03.720
You just like, man,

260
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.000
I feel like there's something in here.

261
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.880
I got this message.

262
00:13:05.880 --> 00:13:07.800
Like there's something I'm putting my hand to

263
00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:09.440
and there's something big on it, right?

264
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.360
That's how we really felt.

265
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.520
It felt like we're kind of sitting on this gold mine,

266
00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:14.920
but it was just kind of just a couple steps

267
00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:16.760
away from breakthrough.

268
00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:18.200
And some of you might be feeling like that,

269
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:19.440
but I mean, you know,

270
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.240
when people saw us really rise with this business,

271
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.400
it felt like overnight success,

272
00:13:23.400 --> 00:13:25.800
but really it took us like a lot to get there, right?

273
00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:26.640
It took us, you know,

274
00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:28.680
years to get to that point of breakthrough.

275
00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:30.160
And a lot of those years,

276
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:33.160
we're like doing this, nurturing the roots, right?

277
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:34.000
Nurturing the roots,

278
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.280
being around people like Bruce,

279
00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:36.840
being around communities, you know,

280
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:37.680
Macy's in the room,

281
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:39.840
like her dad, Keith mentored us,

282
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.760
really nurtured our roots in 2019

283
00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:44.360
before we had our first million dollar year in 2020, right?

284
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:45.960
And I was so thankful

285
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.120
that we actually worked with someone

286
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.080
to like go deep on that stuff before the money came,

287
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:52.360
because the money would have honestly

288
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.080
amplified things and taken us out.

289
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.240
And so that's what I wanna do with you guys.

290
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:57.760
I wanna just water your roots a little bit

291
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:58.880
with some stories.

292
00:13:58.880 --> 00:13:59.760
And so here's some,

293
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:01.120
these three money traps to avoid.

294
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.040
Okay, so the first one is this right here.

295
00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:04.960
Money trap number one.

296
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.360
So if you're taking notes,

297
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.200
write this down.

298
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.120
Money trap number one,

299
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.000
falling into lack thinking, okay?

300
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.720
Falling into lack thinking.

301
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.880
And the thing is,

302
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:16.760
we're raised in this like lack-focused culture, right?

303
00:14:16.760 --> 00:14:18.440
Always looking for like what's missing,

304
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.960
what's wrong, like it's not enough.

305
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.960
And when you start to get aware of this pattern,

306
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.400
you might find yourself actually falling into it,

307
00:14:26.400 --> 00:14:28.040
you know, just by default,

308
00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:29.800
because it's like all around you.

309
00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:30.920
I remember, you know,

310
00:14:30.920 --> 00:14:32.560
when we had our first son,

311
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:33.400
he's, you know,

312
00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:35.320
this is actually in 2019

313
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.800
before we had a really big breakout year.

314
00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:39.920
And we really started to become really just aware

315
00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:42.520
of this lack kind of default,

316
00:14:43.160 --> 00:14:44.000
because, you know, when you have a baby,

317
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.360
what does everyone ask you?

318
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.640
I'm pretty sure I asked Bruce this,

319
00:14:46.640 --> 00:14:47.560
like this last weekend,

320
00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:49.320
I was like, we were hanging out,

321
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:50.480
how's the sleep going, right?

322
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.400
How's the lack of sleep, right?

323
00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:53.240
You just like, kind of,

324
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.280
it's like the thing you focus on.

325
00:14:54.280 --> 00:14:56.040
And so me and Chelsea,

326
00:14:56.040 --> 00:14:57.440
you know, as brand new parents,

327
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.640
this is our first son,

328
00:14:58.640 --> 00:15:00.120
we're now cooking.

329
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.040
up the third, okay, so we have two outside the womb, we have one inside the womb, but this is

330
00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:10.080
our first, okay, and that first one, man, you just like, it's intense, but in those first few weeks,

331
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.840
we just really kind of spiral, oh, the lack of sleep, we're not sleeping, all these things,

332
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.160
and it was kind of like, we're focusing on that lack, and it was starting to multiply, right,

333
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.240
and I always quote Jesus on this, because he's the man, he said, if you, like, he that has will

334
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:29.360
have more in abundance, he that has not, even that will get taken away, and the first time I heard

335
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.280
that, it's kind of like a riddle, so like, I feel like I gotta repeat it again, when you focus on

336
00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:39.120
what you have, it will multiply, and you will have abundance, when you focus on what you have not,

337
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.640
even that will get taken away, and this is a kingdom principle, like, if you actually study

338
00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:49.840
this verse, he says this all over the place, he says this after the parable of talents and minus,

339
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:55.520
he says this after the lamp thing, he says this when the disciples ask him, why do you teach in

340
00:15:55.520 --> 00:15:59.680
parables? He that has will have more abundance, he that has not, even that will get taken away,

341
00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:03.600
and like, this is a kingdom principle, and this is literally like, I feel like I've applied this

342
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.480
to healing, I've applied this, you know, to business, I've applied this to money, this one

343
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:14.960
thing, like, has been incredible, and we see it in our kids, I remember my son, like, you know, I,

344
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.640
it was like after Halloween, and there was some candy laying around in the kitchen, which

345
00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:22.080
probably shouldn't have candy in the kitchen, you know, it's breakfast time, we gotta eat some

346
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.480
protein, but of course, he's like, two years old at the time, he sees that gummy bear, you know,

347
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.720
pack of gummy bears, he's like, daddy, can I, can I please have a gummy bear, please, you know,

348
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:35.040
and being a good dad, I'm like, okay, fine, like, one gummy bear is not gonna kill him,

349
00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:39.440
you know, so I'm like, buddy, okay, sure, you can, what color do you want, you can have one gummy bear,

350
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.040
and so he, like, chooses his favorite color, I think it was blue at the time,

351
00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:47.840
and he, like, is putting this gummy bear in his mouth, it's like, complete joy on his face,

352
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.280
right, and then what I do, I'm taking the gummy bear pack, and I'm putting it away,

353
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:55.280
or it should have been, and as soon as he sees that thing going away, what happens,

354
00:16:55.280 --> 00:17:00.880
right, any parents guess what happens in the chat, tears, he's just like, no, like, the gummy bears,

355
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:05.440
they're going away, while he's enjoying, trying to enjoy the gummy bear that's in his mouth,

356
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:10.079
he is crying about the gummy bears going away, the, what he's focusing on, what he has not,

357
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:15.200
is robbing him of what he has in his mouth, he doesn't even know he's eating a gummy bear,

358
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.119
the thing he really wanted that's in his mouth, he's literally so focused on what he's lacking,

359
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:25.119
what he has is taken away, it was a powerful thing when I saw this, because I was like, that's us,

360
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:30.240
that's us, even when we had him as a newborn, we're focusing on lack of sleep, and we just

361
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.400
started to notice that we shifted it, we're like, no, we're not gonna focus on what we're missing,

362
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.320
we're gonna focus on what we have, we're not missing anything, we are gaining something,

363
00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:43.120
like, and as soon as we did that, as soon as we shifted, one, it changed our experience,

364
00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:46.800
in the middle of the night, now we're waking up, and it was like, oh, we get to look forward to

365
00:17:46.800 --> 00:17:51.280
this, because these are sweet moments we don't get back, and like, I look back on that, now he's

366
00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:55.600
five, I'm like, man, that was incredible, those are some, like, just looking into your newborn

367
00:17:55.600 --> 00:18:00.560
baby's eyes, it's just such a beautiful time, and then me and Chelsea are up in the middle of the

368
00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:04.400
night, so we're having more time together, we run a big business, and you know, time is limited,

369
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.320
now we got some just open space, we're having these deep conversations, we're growing together

370
00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:13.360
in this, and we're starting to see that abundance, and guess what happens, as we start to focus on

371
00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:18.480
what we had, it multiplied, right, and he actually started sleeping through the night, like, that was

372
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:23.760
crazy, you know, and so I come back to this a lot, because I think this is a temptation, as we fall

373
00:18:23.760 --> 00:18:28.640
into this lack of thinking around business, around money, around resources, and this is literally the

374
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.800
thing that can take you up, you know, from rags to riches, or take you out from riches to rags,

375
00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:37.680
and we see this, when people don't nurture this route, there's this book called Psychology Money,

376
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.200
and it's really interesting, because it documents, like, the journey of people that made a lot of

377
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.600
money, and lost a lot of money, right, and what do the people do that lost all their riches, all their

378
00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:50.000
wealth, like, I'm talking millions and millions of dollars, this right here, they start focusing on

379
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:55.520
lack, they get into the wrong thing, they take, you know, unnecessary risks, because they're in this

380
00:18:55.520 --> 00:19:01.760
kind of, like, orphan, like, I got to get it for myself mindset, and so you heard how Jesus said it,

381
00:19:01.760 --> 00:19:06.000
this is how we say it, focus on what you have, it'll take you up, focus on what you have not, it'll take

382
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.960
you out, and so this is really money trap number one, as you guys start getting into this thing,

383
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:17.040
you really will define the frame of what you live under, like, you live kind of under the ceiling

384
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:21.600
of your own expectations, and you might be around other people that have lack thinking,

385
00:19:21.600 --> 00:19:26.960
the society's lack thinking, and the news cycle's lack focused, and that's just a lot of people's

386
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:31.040
default, like, I have nothing, like, I just live in, like, this blindfolded, you ever see that movie,

387
00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:35.200
I don't know, there's a movie that came out where everyone, like, they were, oh, they couldn't see,

388
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:39.280
I forget the movie, like, but it was so prophetic, it was like, if you see them, they'll kill you,

389
00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:43.040
do you remember this movie, it was, like, Bird something, Bird, I don't know, I don't recommend

390
00:19:43.040 --> 00:19:48.080
watching it, it was, like, a scary movie, but it was, like, and everyone wore blindfolds in the movie,

391
00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:52.000
and it was literally, it came out during COVID, I just thought it was so, like, okay, if you see it,

392
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.600
it's gonna kill you, you know, you focus on it, it's gonna kill you, it was, like, this monster,

393
00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:59.840
and if you, like, see it, then you would, like, basically die.

394
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.580
Anyways, I just feel like this is how a lot of people live.

395
00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:04.940
They're like kind of live with this,

396
00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:07.520
like, this is my default, I have nothing.

397
00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:11.880
And another story I love is from the book,

398
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:13.880
Key Person of Influence.

399
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:14.720
It talks about oil.

400
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.520
It's like, imagine like the first person

401
00:20:16.520 --> 00:20:18.800
who like stepped in oil, right?

402
00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:20.360
And like, they're like, oh, what is this?

403
00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:21.880
Like, this is like black sludge.

404
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.080
This is disgusting, right?

405
00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:24.880
Like if you stepped in a puddle of oil

406
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.740
and you had no idea what it was,

407
00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:28.520
you would just be like, ugh, you know?

408
00:20:28.520 --> 00:20:30.080
And maybe a hundred people came by

409
00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:31.600
and they're just like, oh, this is nasty, right?

410
00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:33.760
But one person finally said, huh,

411
00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:34.940
I don't know what this is,

412
00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:36.740
but I wonder what it could be used for.

413
00:20:36.740 --> 00:20:40.080
And all of a sudden, oil becomes a resource, right?

414
00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:42.280
This thing that was just black sludge

415
00:20:42.280 --> 00:20:46.560
becomes a resource because we actually learned how to use it.

416
00:20:46.560 --> 00:20:48.760
And so a resource is really only defined

417
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:50.640
by our ability to use it.

418
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:52.520
Before that, it really is just black sludge.

419
00:20:52.520 --> 00:20:54.800
And a lot of people, when it comes to money,

420
00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:57.440
they actually kind of have this black sludge mindset

421
00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.400
because they literally just don't know how to use money.

422
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:00.800
Some of you, I mean, I heard someone say

423
00:21:00.800 --> 00:21:02.120
they ran their first ad.

424
00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:05.520
You're starting to learn how to use money as a tool, right?

425
00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:07.520
To actually drive impact.

426
00:21:07.520 --> 00:21:09.240
But a lot of people too afraid to do that.

427
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:12.040
They're just like, I know how to save, I know how to spend,

428
00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:14.200
but I don't know how to put this money in the dirt

429
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.480
and grow something because that's scary, right?

430
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.720
It's super scary to run the roulette wheel

431
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.960
of Facebook ads and hope for the best, right?

432
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.640
It's really scary to invest in a community like this.

433
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.440
It's really scary to put your money into,

434
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.520
I just think of it like seed.

435
00:21:30.520 --> 00:21:32.240
I think of money like seeds now.

436
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:33.400
I don't really think of it like money.

437
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.520
I think of it like seeds.

438
00:21:34.520 --> 00:21:36.160
When you put a seed in the ground, it's scary.

439
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.560
That seed goes away, it dies.

440
00:21:37.560 --> 00:21:39.600
Like a seed has to die to become a tree

441
00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:40.720
and it has to hit resistance.

442
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.360
It has to grow through the dirt.

443
00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:44.800
And then finally the tree comes out, right?

444
00:21:44.800 --> 00:21:46.920
Money is very, very similar to that.

445
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:50.560
But when people get in that lack focus,

446
00:21:50.560 --> 00:21:52.440
they start thinking, I don't have any money, right?

447
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.320
I don't have anything, right?

448
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.840
And I feel like if you can make this shift, right?

449
00:21:58.840 --> 00:22:01.320
From what we call, I have no resources,

450
00:22:01.320 --> 00:22:03.760
I have no money to I'm resourceful.

451
00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:05.960
This is again, shifting from that lack to abundance.

452
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:07.120
This changes everything.

453
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.840
Because even like in business,

454
00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:12.680
I think we often has get limited to money

455
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.440
or resources or tech or I can't do this, right?

456
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.840
But if you can shift to, how could I?

457
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:19.720
Like, what if I did have the resources?

458
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.440
What if God has the resources, right?

459
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.040
Like you kind of start stepping into abundance.

460
00:22:24.760 --> 00:22:25.880
Like I have everything I need, right?

461
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.800
I have everything I need.

462
00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:29.080
And this is where things really start to flow.

463
00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:32.800
So that leads me to money trap number two.

464
00:22:32.800 --> 00:22:35.720
But before we do money trap number two, okay?

465
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.840
Let's, I feel like we gotta do some declarations

466
00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:38.800
with this group, okay?

467
00:22:38.800 --> 00:22:40.080
Because that's just a really powerful way

468
00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:42.000
to take it from head to heart.

469
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.640
Oftentimes when you are sensing one of these things,

470
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.960
oh, dang, that's me.

471
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.080
You know, like I remember as I was learning this,

472
00:22:49.080 --> 00:22:50.840
I just started noticing lack language.

473
00:22:50.840 --> 00:22:52.560
I don't have enough time for this.

474
00:22:52.560 --> 00:22:54.120
I'm too busy, right?

475
00:22:54.120 --> 00:22:55.960
I was meeting with Keith, who's Macy's dad.

476
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:57.080
And like, we were at a coffee shop

477
00:22:57.080 --> 00:22:58.800
and I was saying, I don't have the time, I don't have time.

478
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:00.840
And my watch literally like broke off my wrist

479
00:23:00.840 --> 00:23:02.000
onto the table.

480
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.120
And it was like, God was like,

481
00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:04.880
hey, I'm gonna break your poverty language

482
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:06.880
in all these areas, not just money.

483
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.480
Like you have everything you need.

484
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:10.880
You have all the time for everything

485
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.360
that I'm putting in front of you.

486
00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:13.440
You know, you have all the money.

487
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:15.720
I have all the money, so you can have all the money.

488
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.360
Even if the facts are lying to you,

489
00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:19.240
even if the bank account's scary,

490
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.320
like I am gonna cover you, you're good.

491
00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:25.520
And so I would just say right now,

492
00:23:25.520 --> 00:23:27.440
I am resourceful and tap your chest.

493
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.120
I am resourceful, right?

494
00:23:30.120 --> 00:23:32.240
I know the resourcer.

495
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.280
I know the resourcer.

496
00:23:34.280 --> 00:23:36.760
I won't focus on what I don't have.

497
00:23:36.760 --> 00:23:39.320
I'm gonna focus on the abundance of what I do have.

498
00:23:40.280 --> 00:23:41.760
Okay, say that with me.

499
00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:44.000
And if that's resonating with you,

500
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.160
I'd like put it on a post and I'll put it on your mirror.

501
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.000
Because some of these things,

502
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.280
you just gotta get them in your neural pathways, right?

503
00:23:50.280 --> 00:23:51.840
And sometimes it takes time.

504
00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:53.200
I'm just repeating these things

505
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:54.640
until that becomes your default.

506
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.360
And then when the facts are scary,

507
00:23:56.360 --> 00:24:00.240
you're still living in the land of abundance, okay?

508
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.680
Okay, so money trap number two.

509
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.520
You guys ready for this one?

510
00:24:02.520 --> 00:24:04.600
Okay, so which one has more value, time or money?

511
00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:05.880
Drop it in the chat, okay?

512
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.760
I gotta actually pull up the chat here.

513
00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:08.880
Okay, let me pull up the chat

514
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.000
so I can see you guys chatting it up.

515
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.080
Okay, oh yeah, someone commented bird box.

516
00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:16.120
Yeah, that was the movie.

517
00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:18.160
I don't recommend it, but okay.

518
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.520
So you guys are all, I think, getting this one.

519
00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:22.040
Time, easy, right?

520
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:27.680
Time is definitely a more valuable resource, right?

521
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.040
Time is a finite resource.

522
00:24:30.040 --> 00:24:31.160
It can't be replaced.

523
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:34.080
Once it's gone, money somehow is always there.

524
00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:37.040
Like it's just replenishing, right, somehow.

525
00:24:37.040 --> 00:24:37.920
God is always providing.

526
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:39.760
But time, it does run out, right?

527
00:24:39.760 --> 00:24:41.320
But money can always be earned.

528
00:24:41.320 --> 00:24:42.240
Time is priceless.

529
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.240
Time is given to everyone equally in the world, right?

530
00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:49.320
At the same time.

531
00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:51.400
And a lot of people will say this,

532
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:53.280
that time is worth more than money,

533
00:24:53.280 --> 00:24:56.840
but sometimes their actions won't reveal

534
00:24:56.840 --> 00:24:58.200
what they truly believe, right?

535
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:00.080
So I'm a big believer in the saying.

536
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.960
that we don't believe what we say we believe,

537
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:03.400
we believe what we do, right?

538
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:05.080
You tell me you believe in healing,

539
00:25:05.080 --> 00:25:07.000
but you never pray for someone to get healed.

540
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.400
Like you actually don't believe in healing, right?

541
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:10.240
That's just the hard truth.

542
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.840
And I know that sometimes there's some stuff

543
00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:13.040
and there's some fear you got to get over,

544
00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:15.440
things like that, but this is really true.

545
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.340
When you say time is worth more than money,

546
00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:19.640
we gotta be willing to kind of like stick our,

547
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.120
you know, sword in the ground and say,

548
00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:22.740
I really believe this thing, right?

549
00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:26.160
So money trap number two is just giving money too much power

550
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.120
and we really learn this.

551
00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:31.680
I mean, we've continually had to be,

552
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:33.800
I feel like upgraded in this mindset

553
00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:34.780
at higher and higher levels,

554
00:25:34.780 --> 00:25:39.000
but this is my first little loft that me and Chelsea

555
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.660
rented when we were newlyweds, okay?

556
00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:44.160
So it was like a 700 square feet,

557
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:45.800
one bedroom, one bathroom.

558
00:25:45.800 --> 00:25:47.120
You know, you had to like kind of like scoot

559
00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:48.600
around each other to get to the shower.

560
00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:49.560
It was really tight,

561
00:25:49.560 --> 00:25:50.840
but it did have this cool little loft

562
00:25:50.840 --> 00:25:52.880
with this sketchy staircase.

563
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.040
I almost killed myself getting this couch up there.

564
00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:58.160
And this is where we'd go do our photography work, right?

565
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.400
We would shoot photos and we'd go edit up here

566
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.200
and you know, weddings, it was a good business,

567
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.120
but it was like very seasonal, right?

568
00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:06.440
And we weren't really like planners

569
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.880
and so like we'd have these high highs

570
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.120
and these like super low lows.

571
00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:12.200
And so one winter things got really low, right?

572
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.640
Like the finances got super tight

573
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.800
and you could just feel it.

574
00:26:15.800 --> 00:26:18.000
Like you could just feel kind of the stress of like,

575
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.960
oh my gosh, like, are we going to make it?

576
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:21.600
You know, is there another job that's going to come in

577
00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:23.840
or how, where's the money coming from?

578
00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:24.680
We don't know.

579
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:25.520
And you can almost feel it.

580
00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:27.320
Anyone been in that season where it's like, man,

581
00:26:27.320 --> 00:26:28.640
it feels almost like heavy.

582
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.680
Like this thing's on your shoulders.

583
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.960
You could feel it on your chest in the mornings.

584
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:34.600
It was kind of that voice in your ear,

585
00:26:34.600 --> 00:26:37.120
like trying to get you to agree with it, right?

586
00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:38.440
You're not going to make it, right?

587
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.280
And I've had this voice even in past seasons,

588
00:26:41.280 --> 00:26:42.240
like at just a higher level,

589
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.160
but this was the first time we really kind of had

590
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:46.640
to conquer this as a married couple.

591
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.440
And honestly we did what most people do in that situation

592
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.040
is we acted like orphans, right?

593
00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:53.800
Like there's not going to be enough, right?

594
00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:55.400
We got to focus on like,

595
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.720
this is before we did all this mindset work.

596
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:58.360
And so we started acting out in scarcity,

597
00:26:58.360 --> 00:27:00.280
kind of just like scrambling, trying to strive,

598
00:27:00.280 --> 00:27:01.400
trying to hustle.

599
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.480
And basically kind of like emailing people,

600
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.600
begging for work, like just trying to figure something out.

601
00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:07.160
And then like, I respect the hustle,

602
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:09.400
but like this was not hustle, this was more like toil.

603
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.040
It was like stress.

604
00:27:11.040 --> 00:27:13.000
And one night we sat down,

605
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.920
I was probably on this couch and we had this conversation

606
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.600
and it was just like, hey,

607
00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:21.360
our acting is not what we believe, you know?

608
00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:23.080
Like we believe in generosity.

609
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:24.040
We believe God is good.

610
00:27:24.040 --> 00:27:24.960
We believe he's provided,

611
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.920
but how we're acting right now, how we're feeling,

612
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.720
it's not in alignment with that.

613
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.720
And I don't know, we were pretty young when we got married,

614
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.680
but this was a moment of, I think, supernatural maturity.

615
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:36.840
And we were like, this is not who we are at our core.

616
00:27:36.840 --> 00:27:39.680
And we really knew that like one of our callings

617
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.560
as a couple was to be generous.

618
00:27:41.560 --> 00:27:43.480
This is something on my family line.

619
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.280
And we just came back to this,

620
00:27:45.280 --> 00:27:47.920
like, are we going to really believe that?

621
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.120
Or are we going to actually do it, right?

622
00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:52.840
Like, are we actually going to do what we say we believe?

623
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.520
And in that season,

624
00:27:55.600 --> 00:27:56.760
we kind of realized our actions

625
00:27:56.760 --> 00:27:57.840
weren't aligning with that belief.

626
00:27:57.840 --> 00:27:59.760
And so we actually, in that season,

627
00:27:59.760 --> 00:28:02.560
we decided to go to the bank and just like pull out

628
00:28:02.560 --> 00:28:04.080
pretty much all the money that was left.

629
00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:07.040
It was about $3,000 at the time.

630
00:28:07.040 --> 00:28:09.480
And I remember like standing at the ATM

631
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:11.560
and like, me and Chelsea, like,

632
00:28:11.560 --> 00:28:13.920
you gotta like to pull out $3,000 from ATM,

633
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:15.120
it's actually kind of hard, right?

634
00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:17.080
They like kind of limit how much you can pull out.

635
00:28:17.080 --> 00:28:18.440
So we had like pull out different cards.

636
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.720
So there's a lot of moments to like, is this enough?

637
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.040
But we really felt like 3,000 was the number.

638
00:28:24.040 --> 00:28:26.880
And, you know, at the ATM, it was kind of like,

639
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:27.720
are we sure, are we sure?

640
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:29.000
And we just kept doing it.

641
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.520
And I feel like why there was so much resistance on it

642
00:28:32.520 --> 00:28:33.760
is because actually what we're doing

643
00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:35.360
was way bigger than what we thought.

644
00:28:35.360 --> 00:28:38.280
We took all that money out and we,

645
00:28:38.280 --> 00:28:40.880
in a previous season, we had a friend give us $500.

646
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.160
It was like the most impactful thing.

647
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:43.000
It was like crazy.

648
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:44.560
Like a small group friend at church

649
00:28:44.560 --> 00:28:46.440
just gave us an envelope that had $500 in it.

650
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:48.480
And we were like, we want to do that, you know?

651
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.400
So we took the $3,000

652
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:51.960
and we gave 5,000, or sorry,

653
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.880
we gave $500 to like four different friends

654
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.760
and we gave $1,000 to another.

655
00:28:56.760 --> 00:28:58.240
And this is like all 3,000.

656
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.040
So it's like, boom, we just let it flow through us, right?

657
00:29:01.040 --> 00:29:02.080
And you know what?

658
00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:05.040
The stress at the ATM and like the, oh no, what if?

659
00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:06.480
It completely was gone at this point.

660
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.080
We had so much fun doing this.

661
00:29:08.080 --> 00:29:10.400
It was like so, it was so awesome

662
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.280
to just like give money to people we loved, right?

663
00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:16.680
And I believe there's like kind of this difference

664
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:19.240
between that ATM moment, right?

665
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:22.320
That camping out in fear and getting stuck,

666
00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:24.240
maybe pulling, maybe stopping, right?

667
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:26.360
And actually moving forward scared.

668
00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:28.520
And we moved forward scared

669
00:29:28.520 --> 00:29:32.080
because like we knew that there's something bigger happening.

670
00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:35.360
We knew that we were actually just breaking this power

671
00:29:35.360 --> 00:29:36.200
over our lives.

672
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.000
This thing that was kind of holding us back.

673
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:39.800
And I believe that was the moment, the first moment

674
00:29:39.800 --> 00:29:43.760
that we really broke the power of money over our lives.

675
00:29:43.760 --> 00:29:45.320
We stopped giving money a lot of power.

676
00:29:45.320 --> 00:29:47.200
We stopped saying, hey, we're going to ask you

677
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:50.400
permission money to fulfill the calling on our life.

678
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:52.960
I love this quote from, I think it's Jim Baker.

679
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:54.680
We no longer ask money permission

680
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:56.480
to fulfill a calling on our life.

681
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.720
And in that moment, some of you,

682
00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:59.400
the story's really resonating with you.

683
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.240
It's calling.

684
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.800
like what you did investing in this business,

685
00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:03.280
kind of like what you did investing in this community.

686
00:30:03.280 --> 00:30:05.720
It was like, no, I believe in me,

687
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:07.760
like I am going to do this thing

688
00:30:07.760 --> 00:30:09.280
and I'm not going to ask money for permission.

689
00:30:09.280 --> 00:30:10.400
I'm going to tell money what to do.

690
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.920
I'm going to go for this thing.

691
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.260
And so some of you have already started doing this,

692
00:30:14.260 --> 00:30:15.100
but some of you,

693
00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:16.560
there might be a test in your business right now.

694
00:30:16.560 --> 00:30:17.400
That's like,

695
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.720
are you willing to put the money on the line again?

696
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.000
Are you willing to put money on the altar

697
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.200
and raise the knife up and say,

698
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:24.520
I'm willing to kill you for this thing,

699
00:30:24.520 --> 00:30:25.360
kill the money, right?

700
00:30:25.360 --> 00:30:27.040
Like I'm willing to let you die.

701
00:30:27.040 --> 00:30:30.160
And that, if you guys know that story of Abraham

702
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:31.080
and his son, right?

703
00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:34.400
He raises a knife and then what happens, right?

704
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.680
Jehovah Jireh is in the bush, right?

705
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.120
That's where they get the name Jehovah Jireh,

706
00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:39.680
which means God, your provider.

707
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:41.320
And sometimes you've got to get to that point of like,

708
00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:44.840
I'm willing to let this thing die, you know?

709
00:30:44.840 --> 00:30:47.560
I'm willing to like almost sacrifice the thing.

710
00:30:47.560 --> 00:30:49.480
A man's business, Abraham, this promise,

711
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:51.600
this thing that like, you know,

712
00:30:51.600 --> 00:30:53.400
he like worked so hard for,

713
00:30:53.560 --> 00:30:57.440
and believed for for so many years, finally happens.

714
00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:58.480
And then it's like, God's like,

715
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.280
are you willing to sacrifice that?

716
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.720
And he has to raise the knife on the thing

717
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:05.880
to actually see the promise fulfilled.

718
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.080
And I feel like that's been my story over and over again.

719
00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:09.600
And maybe I'm resonating with some of you guys

720
00:31:09.600 --> 00:31:11.080
where you're feeling like there's that one of those moments

721
00:31:11.080 --> 00:31:12.360
where it's like a raise the knife season

722
00:31:12.360 --> 00:31:14.320
where you're like, man, I really got to will,

723
00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:18.280
I got to be willing to let this,

724
00:31:18.280 --> 00:31:21.760
whatever the obstacle is, be the way, right?

725
00:31:21.760 --> 00:31:23.400
I think it's a Marcus Aurelius quote,

726
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:25.040
the obstacle is the way.

727
00:31:25.040 --> 00:31:28.480
And oftentimes I have found that to be very true.

728
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:29.720
It's like what you're wanting,

729
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.000
you almost have to be willing to fully give up.

730
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.680
And then it'll come.

731
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:35.280
You want money?

732
00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:36.640
So you can make a lot of impact.

733
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.920
You gotta be willing to like, I don't need money.

734
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:40.520
I'm letting it float through me.

735
00:31:40.520 --> 00:31:42.240
And I believe that was our first test.

736
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.240
We passed it.

737
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.360
And that's really what I believe like has taken us

738
00:31:46.360 --> 00:31:47.480
to the next level.

739
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:50.400
But we've had to pass that test at many different levels,

740
00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:54.400
$5,000, $50,000, $500,000.

741
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:55.600
And that's scary.

742
00:31:55.600 --> 00:31:58.200
Like you build authority at each level, I believe.

743
00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:04.520
And it's never not scary, but it does get familiar.

744
00:32:04.520 --> 00:32:06.160
You're like, ah, I recognize this one.

745
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:07.800
I recognize that fear.

746
00:32:07.800 --> 00:32:09.160
I recognize this test.

747
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:10.080
I've broken through this before.

748
00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:12.120
You start rehearsing through all the things you did before

749
00:32:12.120 --> 00:32:13.720
and like, okay, yeah, God was there, God was there.

750
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.680
It felt like we're gonna die.

751
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:15.960
It felt like it was at the end.

752
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:18.120
Then somehow he provided, right?

753
00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:20.240
And so let's do it again, right?

754
00:32:21.080 --> 00:32:23.680
I feel like that's a declaration for someone out there.

755
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:25.120
This one's for you.

756
00:32:25.120 --> 00:32:26.960
Hit your chest and say it with me.

757
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:28.880
I'm no longer gonna ask money for permission

758
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.280
to fulfill the calling on my life.

759
00:32:32.280 --> 00:32:34.560
I no longer ask money for permission

760
00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:37.040
to fulfill the calling on my life.

761
00:32:37.040 --> 00:32:39.240
You know, starting a business takes money, you know?

762
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:40.960
And if you're asking money permission,

763
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.880
it's gonna always hold you back, right?

764
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.000
So to start breaking out of that trap,

765
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.440
you gotta be willing to kind of be more of a hose

766
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.440
as opposed to a reservoir.

767
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:50.440
Like we're just gonna let money flow through me,

768
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:51.920
you know, God can get it to me.

769
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:54.320
If I let it go through me, God will get it to me.

770
00:32:54.320 --> 00:32:56.640
And this is often the thing

771
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:59.320
that starts to allow the money to flow, okay?

772
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:01.720
All right.

773
00:33:03.520 --> 00:33:05.040
You guys doing okay?

774
00:33:05.040 --> 00:33:06.160
This is so good, man.

775
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:07.360
Appreciate it.

776
00:33:07.360 --> 00:33:09.480
The chat is, I don't know if you're seeing it.

777
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:10.320
It's good.

778
00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:12.480
It's really, this is incredible, so keep going.

779
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:14.720
All right, do you guys want a third trap

780
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.240
or a different story?

781
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.200
How are you guys feeling?

782
00:33:18.760 --> 00:33:19.640
Third trap to avoid.

783
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:20.960
I'm not putting you guys in traps, okay?

784
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:22.440
We're avoiding these traps,

785
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:23.760
hopefully saving you guys some time.

786
00:33:23.760 --> 00:33:25.360
You're not gonna step into something

787
00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:26.840
and have it just rob from you.

788
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.160
Money trap number three is thinking like a poor person.

789
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:32.000
Thinking like a poor person,

790
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:33.080
all of us gotta get out of this.

791
00:33:33.080 --> 00:33:35.360
And we're gonna step into impact and influence

792
00:33:35.360 --> 00:33:37.720
and all the things I believe God's doing in this room

793
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:38.560
through you guys.

794
00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:39.480
Because the cool thing is,

795
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.200
I know if you're in this community,

796
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:43.520
when we give you guys a ton of money, right?

797
00:33:43.520 --> 00:33:45.800
You have the skillsets and you're able to do this thing.

798
00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:47.840
It's only gonna multiply good in the world.

799
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:49.320
Because I know Bruce

800
00:33:49.320 --> 00:33:50.480
and I know he doesn't attract crazy people, right?

801
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.600
So I know you guys are the good people.

802
00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:56.640
When you guys crush it and you guys are successful

803
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:59.480
and there's money, it's only gonna multiply, right?

804
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:00.800
Oftentimes that goal you have,

805
00:34:00.800 --> 00:34:03.720
maybe it's $10,000 or $10,000 a month or a million dollars,

806
00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:05.880
whatever that goal is, it's not just the money.

807
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:07.160
It's about what's beyond the money.

808
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:09.159
It's like, what is that money gonna do?

809
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:11.639
Not just in your life, but in your community

810
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:13.880
and the impact and what you're putting out in the world.

811
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.480
And so if we're gonna be stepping into that wealth,

812
00:34:18.120 --> 00:34:20.280
we gotta stop thinking like a poor person, okay?

813
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:25.280
So on this one, I kind of have this chart,

814
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:27.400
poor people extend time, okay?

815
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.520
Poor people extend time.

816
00:34:28.520 --> 00:34:30.880
And this was me for so many years in business.

817
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.520
I just would like start every side hustle ever.

818
00:34:33.520 --> 00:34:35.120
Like I'd watch a webinar and buy the thing

819
00:34:35.120 --> 00:34:36.280
and I'd go do that.

820
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:37.199
And then like the next week,

821
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:38.679
I'd watch another webinar and buy that thing.

822
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:39.520
And now I'm doing that.

823
00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:40.960
And I was like, kind of prided myself

824
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:42.760
in like being a serial entrepreneur

825
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.560
and just like doing a thousand things.

826
00:34:44.560 --> 00:34:46.960
And Bruce used to do this too, actually.

827
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.880
I feel like Bruce, now he just started a business

828
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.080
where he can do a thousand things,

829
00:34:50.080 --> 00:34:52.480
but it's all within one business.

830
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:53.320
You're right about that.

831
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:56.960
Me and Bruce were both doing this back in like 2017, 2018.

832
00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:58.240
And it was like, every time we talked,

833
00:34:58.240 --> 00:35:00.440
it was like, hey, check out my new business.

834
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.840
You know?

835
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.880
I built the funnel, I did all the things.

836
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:03.720
Cryptocurrency.

837
00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:04.540
Oh my gosh.

838
00:35:04.540 --> 00:35:05.380
Yeah.

839
00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:07.080
So, and the problem is with Bruce,

840
00:35:07.080 --> 00:35:09.540
he's just like, can actually go do it really quickly.

841
00:35:09.540 --> 00:35:12.080
So he'd have full funnels and everything built.

842
00:35:12.080 --> 00:35:15.280
And so, focus is really powerful.

843
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:16.120
Okay.

844
00:35:16.120 --> 00:35:16.940
Focus is really powerful.

845
00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:18.840
Poor people will tend to just kind of go

846
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:20.800
around the same mountain over and over,

847
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.160
trying to do a million different things.

848
00:35:22.160 --> 00:35:23.280
As soon as they hit resistance,

849
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.960
they jump to a different thing.

850
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:25.800
They pivot.

851
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:27.000
Oh, there's a cool thing over here.

852
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:28.720
Maybe it's that over there.

853
00:35:28.720 --> 00:35:29.560
Right.

854
00:35:29.560 --> 00:35:30.920
So they have this desired result,

855
00:35:32.120 --> 00:35:33.920
but they just kind of keep going around the mountain

856
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.040
instead of up the mountain.

857
00:35:35.040 --> 00:35:35.880
Okay.

858
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.080
And I remember I was mountain biking with a friend

859
00:35:38.080 --> 00:35:40.440
and I was kind of new to mountain biking

860
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:42.120
and he was more experienced.

861
00:35:42.120 --> 00:35:44.080
And I was like, just thinking I was doing great.

862
00:35:44.080 --> 00:35:46.040
And I was going around the rocks, you know?

863
00:35:46.040 --> 00:35:47.520
I was like, oh yeah.

864
00:35:47.520 --> 00:35:50.020
I was just kind of like weaving up this trail.

865
00:35:50.020 --> 00:35:52.080
And he's like, he actually stopped me.

866
00:35:52.080 --> 00:35:53.480
And he's like, hey, you know,

867
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:55.540
the fastest way to go is just straight.

868
00:35:56.520 --> 00:35:58.000
And he's like, yeah, there's like shocks.

869
00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.840
It's crazy.

870
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:00.280
You know, you just go over the rocks

871
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:02.160
instead of around them.

872
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:03.800
And when he told me this one tip,

873
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:05.040
like he's just like, choose a line,

874
00:36:05.040 --> 00:36:07.160
focus a little bit ahead instead of looking down

875
00:36:07.160 --> 00:36:08.960
and just go straight, right?

876
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:09.880
And when I did this,

877
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:12.360
I could go way further up the mountain.

878
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:13.520
Previously I'd get to this tree

879
00:36:13.520 --> 00:36:15.400
and I'd have to turn around because I was so tired,

880
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:17.440
but now I could go like miles further

881
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:20.000
because literally those micro little movements

882
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.560
were taking me, like I was going double the distance.

883
00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:23.680
That was crazy to me, right?

884
00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:25.080
And like, this is the type of tip

885
00:36:25.080 --> 00:36:26.120
I'm giving you guys right now.

886
00:36:26.120 --> 00:36:27.080
Wealthy people do this.

887
00:36:27.080 --> 00:36:28.520
They look for the fastest way.

888
00:36:29.200 --> 00:36:31.080
They look to compress time, you know,

889
00:36:31.080 --> 00:36:32.520
even investing in what Bruce has,

890
00:36:32.520 --> 00:36:34.120
like, it's like, you could cobble this together

891
00:36:34.120 --> 00:36:36.200
with a thousand different softwares, right?

892
00:36:36.200 --> 00:36:38.520
Or you could just go the fastest pathway, right?

893
00:36:38.520 --> 00:36:39.360
You pay a little bit more,

894
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.920
but it's like, man, let's just get it all done, right?

895
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:44.520
And so, you know, you probably heard the saying,

896
00:36:44.520 --> 00:36:47.840
focus, follow one course until successful.

897
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:48.960
This is what wealthy people do.

898
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.320
They're just like, I'm gonna stay focused.

899
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:51.680
I'm gonna put blinders on.

900
00:36:51.680 --> 00:36:54.360
If you have that like ADHD kind of experimental,

901
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:56.440
I like to like do a thousand things mindset

902
00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:58.600
like me and Bruce.

903
00:36:58.600 --> 00:37:00.560
And who else was that raising their hand?

904
00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:02.600
Jeff and Janine.

905
00:37:02.600 --> 00:37:04.920
What I'd encourage you to do is give yourself one day

906
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:06.440
to just goof off, you know, a week.

907
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.440
Like me and Bruce, I think it's Fridays.

908
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.280
And it's just kind of like,

909
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:10.200
this is like kind of do anything day

910
00:37:10.200 --> 00:37:11.880
because that is a superpower

911
00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.240
that you went super deep down the rabbit hole of like,

912
00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:16.000
you know, I don't know.

913
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:18.000
I was like looking at selling dust on Amazon

914
00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:19.000
for backyard chickens.

915
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:21.320
Cause I guess chickens, they bathe themselves

916
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:22.720
and clean themselves by getting dirty.

917
00:37:22.720 --> 00:37:23.920
And I was like, man, that sounds awesome.

918
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:24.920
Selling dust.

919
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:26.240
I feel like I can get dust for free.

920
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:27.760
And I started going down this whole rabbit hole

921
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:29.520
of like, I can make the dust eco-friendly.

922
00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:32.160
And I'm like, I'm gonna sell dirt on Amazon making money

923
00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:33.000
cause we're buying it.

924
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.840
We have backyard chickens.

925
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:35.520
And I was like, why are we paying this company?

926
00:37:35.520 --> 00:37:37.680
So I'm going down this whole rabbit hole, right?

927
00:37:37.680 --> 00:37:39.560
Down dust and researching all these things

928
00:37:39.560 --> 00:37:41.840
and talking to manufacturers and all this crazy stuff.

929
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.280
And I have to give myself freedom to do that, right?

930
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:45.400
But if I do that every day,

931
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:46.760
then I'm gonna be like this poor person

932
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.160
just going around the mountain, never making any impact.

933
00:37:49.160 --> 00:37:50.600
But if I give myself one day a week

934
00:37:50.600 --> 00:37:52.840
or maybe a couple hours a week to just go crazy,

935
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:55.280
that's actually just filling my brain.

936
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:56.960
Like the way ADHD brain works,

937
00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:58.120
it's kind of like I'm just giving myself

938
00:37:58.120 --> 00:37:59.560
a little puzzle pieces.

939
00:37:59.560 --> 00:38:01.560
And then like five years from now,

940
00:38:01.560 --> 00:38:03.040
there's gonna be something that happens.

941
00:38:03.040 --> 00:38:05.440
And it's just like, all the puzzles pieces connect.

942
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.880
And thank God I researched that chicken dust

943
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:09.680
because that led to this thing, which led to that thing.

944
00:38:09.680 --> 00:38:11.360
And then boom, I had the solution.

945
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:13.240
And so you guys probably see that in yourself.

946
00:38:13.240 --> 00:38:14.160
Sometimes you just need,

947
00:38:14.160 --> 00:38:15.960
like it's like you see this convergence.

948
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:17.360
So you can fill your brain with some of that stuff,

949
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:18.880
but I like to limit it to one day.

950
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:20.040
So I have one goof off day,

951
00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:21.880
or if I wanna go down the crypto rabbit hole,

952
00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:24.440
or I wanna learn about, you know, whatever.

953
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:25.400
I do it on that day.

954
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:28.120
Every other day is really focused on the thing,

955
00:38:28.120 --> 00:38:29.640
the one thing, right?

956
00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:31.800
And just like, if I wanna experiment during the week,

957
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:33.520
I'm doing it within my business, right?

958
00:38:33.520 --> 00:38:35.760
Like I'm kind of like, okay, yeah, let's see.

959
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:37.240
I like that idea, but how can I do it

960
00:38:37.240 --> 00:38:39.080
within the business, right?

961
00:38:39.080 --> 00:38:42.760
And that has like just really saved me a lot of time

962
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:46.960
because if you wanna grow an award winning pumpkin, right?

963
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:49.160
You gotta cut off all the other pumpkins, right?

964
00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:50.200
If you have all your nutrients

965
00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:52.080
go into all the pumpkins in the patch,

966
00:38:52.080 --> 00:38:53.520
you're gonna grow a bunch of small pumpkins.

967
00:38:53.560 --> 00:38:55.640
But if you wanna grow that award winning pumpkin,

968
00:38:55.640 --> 00:38:57.680
the Inc 5,000 pumpkin,

969
00:38:57.680 --> 00:38:59.520
like you've gotta cut off the other pumpkin

970
00:38:59.520 --> 00:39:01.240
to put all your nutrients as much as you can

971
00:39:01.240 --> 00:39:02.560
into that one thing.

972
00:39:02.560 --> 00:39:04.880
Okay, so it's a subtle difference,

973
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:06.680
but this is a powerful mindset.

974
00:39:06.680 --> 00:39:08.480
Okay, so just real quick,

975
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.080
are you guys committed to avoid the three money traps?

976
00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:13.640
Give me a thumbs up or thumbs down, okay?

977
00:39:13.640 --> 00:39:15.520
Money trap number one, falling into lack focus.

978
00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:18.520
Money trap number two, giving money too much power.

979
00:39:18.520 --> 00:39:20.680
Money trap number three, thinking like a poor person.

980
00:39:21.560 --> 00:39:24.040
Oh, I actually do have a couple more declarations here.

981
00:39:24.040 --> 00:39:26.040
Cool, okay, let's end with these, okay?

982
00:39:26.040 --> 00:39:26.880
I know we already did them,

983
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.600
but like I focus on what I have, I'll watch it multiply.

984
00:39:30.600 --> 00:39:33.440
I focus on what I have, I'll watch it multiply.

985
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.840
Number two, I am not defined by my resources,

986
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.280
I am resourceful, I'm resourceful.

987
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:41.880
And lastly, I'm wealthy, I'm wise,

988
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:43.880
I'm worth investing in, right?

989
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:45.160
Oftentimes that wealthy path

990
00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:46.600
sometimes costs more money, right?

991
00:39:46.600 --> 00:39:47.720
It's kind of going with number two,

992
00:39:47.720 --> 00:39:49.240
like I'm not gonna give money power,

993
00:39:49.240 --> 00:39:50.600
I'm gonna invest in this thing,

994
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:53.320
I'm gonna get a mentor that's gonna save me time,

995
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.120
I'm going to get this course that saved me time.

996
00:39:56.120 --> 00:39:59.160
Like, if that's what it looks like,

997
00:39:59.160 --> 00:40:00.760
that might be what it looks like.

998
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.280
like to act wealthy, to save time, to cut a check, to save time.

999
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.280
Sometimes it's hiring something, someone in your business, buying back your time.

1000
00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:11.120
Um, and I have one more story that I felt like would resonate with

1001
00:40:11.120 --> 00:40:13.160
this group just, um, in this season.

1002
00:40:13.160 --> 00:40:15.760
And I'm going to see if I can stop sharing and then share that one.

1003
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.040
So it might take me just a second.

1004
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:19.300
And then we might have some time for Q and A at the end too.

1005
00:40:19.300 --> 00:40:22.240
If you guys have any questions you want to throw out or just processing

1006
00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:25.640
any thoughts, happy to kind of riff back and forth with you guys.

1007
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:27.120
Um, but let's see here.

1008
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:28.160
Yeah, I'll give you a second.

1009
00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:29.200
That is awesome, man.

1010
00:40:29.200 --> 00:40:30.040
This is so good.

1011
00:40:30.040 --> 00:40:33.080
I think the thing, when you, when you talk about like these key,

1012
00:40:33.100 --> 00:40:34.960
like principles, they're timeless.

1013
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.200
And also they're like, no matter where you're on in this journey,

1014
00:40:38.200 --> 00:40:41.640
like I'm, I'm, I got a page of notes here from Steven.

1015
00:40:41.680 --> 00:40:42.640
We've talked a bunch.

1016
00:40:42.680 --> 00:40:45.480
I've heard a lot of Steven talk a lot, but I'm taking a ton of notes.

1017
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.680
Cause I think this is something that you got to come back to.

1018
00:40:47.680 --> 00:40:50.040
These are core principles that are true.

1019
00:40:50.040 --> 00:40:51.960
These are just truths that are in the kingdom.

1020
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:53.640
This is how these things work.

1021
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:56.520
And it is just something, as soon as you guys kind of conquer it at

1022
00:40:56.520 --> 00:40:59.600
one level, it's kind of, it comes back in, in different levels.

1023
00:40:59.600 --> 00:41:02.640
And I think that's, it's kind of leveraging, uh, or learning to

1024
00:41:02.640 --> 00:41:04.080
like exercise those muscles.

1025
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:06.920
So, you know, to, uh, how to react to it and respond.

1026
00:41:07.640 --> 00:41:08.240
So good, man.

1027
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:08.800
It's good.

1028
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:09.320
Yeah.

1029
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:10.080
That's so true.

1030
00:41:10.120 --> 00:41:12.840
Like it is very much like resistance training, right?

1031
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:13.960
You want to grow a muscle.

1032
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:16.600
Like you ask anyone, I'm not a bodybuilder.

1033
00:41:16.640 --> 00:41:17.140
Okay.

1034
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:21.720
Uh, I tried for how many, like, okay, Bruce has been doing great lately.

1035
00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:24.520
So ask him, but like Bruce, how do you grow muscles?

1036
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:26.680
You got to hit resistance.

1037
00:41:26.680 --> 00:41:31.040
You got to go to a point of failure sometimes to really like grow that muscle.

1038
00:41:31.120 --> 00:41:31.440
Right.

1039
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:32.920
You have to give it resistance.

1040
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:37.160
So same thing with money, with faith, with entrepreneurship, it's

1041
00:41:37.160 --> 00:41:41.040
like, God is so good to take you to a point of resistance, you

1042
00:41:41.040 --> 00:41:42.480
know, that's not beyond you.

1043
00:41:42.680 --> 00:41:43.000
Right.

1044
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.720
Even if it feels like it is like, I'm preaching to myself on some of

1045
00:41:45.720 --> 00:41:49.880
these, because we have stepped into big things in our business.

1046
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.840
We moved our entire family and the resistance in this last year

1047
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:54.360
has been greater than ever.

1048
00:41:54.720 --> 00:41:59.200
And it's been just so tempting to just go, um, did, did God really

1049
00:41:59.200 --> 00:42:01.160
say this right about me?

1050
00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:03.040
Or did God really say this about the business?

1051
00:42:03.080 --> 00:42:05.120
Like, it's just like the original lies from the garden.

1052
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:06.760
Oh, did God really say that?

1053
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:10.120
You know, like, that's like the classic, like, okay, but I've

1054
00:42:10.120 --> 00:42:10.880
been getting hit with that.

1055
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:15.080
And, uh, or, or, or, you know, it's basically like either about your

1056
00:42:15.080 --> 00:42:17.360
identity or about God's identity, right?

1057
00:42:17.720 --> 00:42:18.360
Did God really say that?

1058
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:19.160
Is that really who he is?

1059
00:42:19.240 --> 00:42:19.740
Right.

1060
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:21.960
Or, you know, who are you to do this?

1061
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:22.280
Right.

1062
00:42:22.720 --> 00:42:25.080
And so I've been getting hit with that super hard.

1063
00:42:25.120 --> 00:42:28.640
So these core things I come back to these stories, they help me because

1064
00:42:28.640 --> 00:42:31.160
I'm like, oh yeah, like this is who I am.

1065
00:42:31.240 --> 00:42:33.000
You know, this is how, this is who God was.

1066
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:34.040
This is who God is.

1067
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.480
And so I want to tell you one last story on that topic.

1068
00:42:36.520 --> 00:42:42.200
Um, uh, and I really feel like this is a seasonal, this is a word kind of for

1069
00:42:42.200 --> 00:42:43.720
this season for a lot of people.

1070
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:50.280
And, um, uh, this is about, um, going before, you know, going before you

1071
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:54.240
knowing, I wish I could make it rhyme, but, um, me and Chelsea like to call

1072
00:42:54.240 --> 00:42:58.160
this the go before, you know, um, uh, principle.

1073
00:42:58.240 --> 00:42:58.740
Okay.

1074
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:02.440
And, uh, this is something that we thought we were really cool and we made up.

1075
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.240
Um, but then I realized, uh, my mom was listening to me, like kind of talk.

1076
00:43:07.240 --> 00:43:09.920
And she's like, oh yeah, me and your dad used to say that all the time.

1077
00:43:10.520 --> 00:43:13.920
And then, um, we got that from your grandpa and he used to say that all the time.

1078
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.320
Like it was like a family thing.

1079
00:43:15.680 --> 00:43:18.360
Um, so I really think pioneering is on my family.

1080
00:43:19.080 --> 00:43:20.000
It's called pioneers.

1081
00:43:20.200 --> 00:43:23.040
This is probably for you, you know, um, as well.

1082
00:43:23.080 --> 00:43:26.000
Uh, and the go before, you know, it's like a classic pioneer.

1083
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:31.400
And you guys have all done this in your life, but I really felt like this season

1084
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:35.080
is kind of a season where God's inviting us to go before we know again.

1085
00:43:35.520 --> 00:43:38.960
And, um, it can be really scary because oftentimes it requires

1086
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:40.560
maybe taking a step of faith.

1087
00:43:40.600 --> 00:43:42.560
Maybe it's money, maybe it's time.

1088
00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:44.160
Maybe it's like quitting that job.

1089
00:43:44.160 --> 00:43:45.960
Maybe it's moving, you know?

1090
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:49.280
Um, but me and Chelsea always talk about this thing called

1091
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:50.560
the transitional character.

1092
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:54.760
The transitional character is someone who, you know, in the course of one

1093
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:56.600
generation changes every generation.

1094
00:43:56.600 --> 00:43:58.320
And it could be for good, or it could be for bad.

1095
00:43:58.360 --> 00:43:58.720
Right.

1096
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.760
It could be like that one person that breaks that cycle of

1097
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:03.640
alcoholism for their family.

1098
00:44:03.640 --> 00:44:07.760
And like, it's like, boom, this thing is just broken and like future generations.

1099
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.080
It's like, that thing is not on them anymore.

1100
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:11.800
We call that the transitional character.

1101
00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:15.320
It's like the, it's the one, you know, Ed Milett calls it the one, right.

1102
00:44:15.600 --> 00:44:17.600
The one, the one, whenever you think change.

1103
00:44:17.600 --> 00:44:21.160
And a lot of you, if you're in this room, you're probably the one, you're

1104
00:44:21.160 --> 00:44:26.200
probably the one for your family or your line in some sort of form or fashion.

1105
00:44:26.520 --> 00:44:31.200
But being the one, it takes this right here, being the crazy one to be stepping

1106
00:44:31.200 --> 00:44:32.840
out of the boat before everyone else.

1107
00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:37.080
And I'll tell you the craziest story on this front that, that happened.

1108
00:44:37.120 --> 00:44:40.080
And, um, um, it actually had to do with my grandpa.

1109
00:44:40.120 --> 00:44:44.800
Cause remember I said, I didn't really know this was a thing until, uh, and on

1110
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:46.160
my family until we started saying it.

1111
00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:47.320
And then my parents were like, we said this.

1112
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:49.200
And then I heard stories of my grandpa saying this.

1113
00:44:49.720 --> 00:44:53.600
Um, and, um, I remember in those years when we're kind of in that like hustle

1114
00:44:53.600 --> 00:44:57.560
season of like, just trying everything we were doing a million businesses and

1115
00:44:57.560 --> 00:44:59.760
like, just like adding more to our play and just like,

1116
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.260
are rolling around the mountain trying to figure it out,

1117
00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:03.880
trying to like be our own provider.

1118
00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:06.520
And at that time, you know, things,

1119
00:45:06.520 --> 00:45:09.040
they would get better and then they get scarce and scary.

1120
00:45:09.040 --> 00:45:11.140
And like, again, it's resistance training.

1121
00:45:11.140 --> 00:45:12.960
Like we had that breakthrough at the ATM

1122
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:14.820
and then like things got hard again.

1123
00:45:14.820 --> 00:45:15.660
And then like, I don't know,

1124
00:45:15.660 --> 00:45:16.800
it's just like, you just,

1125
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:19.480
you build resistance and you kind of go up, right?

1126
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.160
And I just remember hearing, I feel like in that season,

1127
00:45:22.160 --> 00:45:23.720
like just these little winks,

1128
00:45:23.720 --> 00:45:25.400
I started to get these little winks from Evan

1129
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:28.280
and just being like, keep going, keep going,

1130
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:29.840
like go before you know, go before you know.

1131
00:45:30.680 --> 00:45:34.080
And my grandpa, his name was Robert Hall, right?

1132
00:45:34.080 --> 00:45:34.920
Robert Hall.

1133
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:35.740
And he was, he was a pioneer.

1134
00:45:35.740 --> 00:45:40.740
He was, he took his family, got in a van.

1135
00:45:41.600 --> 00:45:43.120
Okay, so it was like back in the day.

1136
00:45:43.120 --> 00:45:44.640
So my mom's like a baby

1137
00:45:44.640 --> 00:45:47.320
and they drove from California through Mexico

1138
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:49.800
and they just went South and they ended up in Argentina.

1139
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.000
And he ended up starting a,

1140
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:54.800
or getting partnered with like some radio station

1141
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:55.920
and they ended up in Panama.

1142
00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:58.720
It basically started like the first Christian radio station

1143
00:45:58.720 --> 00:46:00.560
in Latin America.

1144
00:46:00.560 --> 00:46:03.240
And I mean, total pioneer move, right?

1145
00:46:03.240 --> 00:46:08.160
Go to a new land, establish, you know, territory

1146
00:46:08.160 --> 00:46:10.520
and then multiply goodness, right?

1147
00:46:10.520 --> 00:46:12.560
And then get out of there and go to your next thing,

1148
00:46:12.560 --> 00:46:13.400
you know?

1149
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:15.600
And, and my grandpa was just like a man of generosity.

1150
00:46:15.600 --> 00:46:17.360
Like he just was kind of like very,

1151
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:18.600
like this is where I get this from,

1152
00:46:18.600 --> 00:46:20.320
this is where my parents got this from.

1153
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.360
But like, you know, his house,

1154
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.560
if there's any YWAMers in the room, you know,

1155
00:46:24.560 --> 00:46:26.520
the YWAM Panama, that's like his house.

1156
00:46:26.520 --> 00:46:27.720
Like he just like, when they're done there,

1157
00:46:27.720 --> 00:46:29.000
they just like handed over the keys.

1158
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:30.240
They're like, here, have it.

1159
00:46:30.240 --> 00:46:32.800
You know, no money asked, just like, boom, you can have it.

1160
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:34.360
We're out of here.

1161
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:35.320
God brought it to me.

1162
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:37.040
He can take it through me, right?

1163
00:46:37.040 --> 00:46:38.920
And so I feel like I learned this, you know,

1164
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:41.040
from my family line.

1165
00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:43.040
And so I tell you that story, his name was Robert Hall

1166
00:46:43.040 --> 00:46:44.400
because it kind of has to do with this story.

1167
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.880
And so, you know, this is one of that first seasons

1168
00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:48.760
where we're starting to grow.

1169
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.480
We're starting to build that entrepreneurial mindset.

1170
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.400
We're starting to like kind of grow in some of these minds

1171
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.360
since we actually hired someone for the first time.

1172
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:56.800
And this was $2,000 a month.

1173
00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:59.040
And this was totally scary and they're working for us.

1174
00:46:59.040 --> 00:47:00.560
But on the side, we're kind of launching products.

1175
00:47:00.560 --> 00:47:03.080
And we were actually selling this little toy at the time.

1176
00:47:03.080 --> 00:47:04.120
There's this little wooden toy.

1177
00:47:04.120 --> 00:47:06.040
If you're watching the video, it's like,

1178
00:47:06.040 --> 00:47:06.960
it's called a kendama.

1179
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.200
I always have them all over my house,

1180
00:47:08.200 --> 00:47:10.680
but they're like these little wooden Japanese toys.

1181
00:47:10.680 --> 00:47:12.240
And you try to catch the ball on the cup.

1182
00:47:12.240 --> 00:47:14.960
So we were selling these like off of Instagram.

1183
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:16.520
This is like, again, I was just doing a thousand

1184
00:47:16.520 --> 00:47:18.320
side hustles and it's just one of them.

1185
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:21.320
So I'm doing wedding photography, editing during the day,

1186
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.360
having this guy work for us $2,000 a month.

1187
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:24.840
He's editing for us.

1188
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:26.680
And we're trying to start this thing on the side.

1189
00:47:27.560 --> 00:47:28.400
And so every day after work,

1190
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:29.240
we'd be like packing these

1191
00:47:29.240 --> 00:47:30.080
and shipping them out of our house.

1192
00:47:30.080 --> 00:47:32.800
This is before we discovered Amazon

1193
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:35.280
and how they can do the shipping for you.

1194
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:39.160
But I invested in this toy,

1195
00:47:39.160 --> 00:47:41.400
and bought a bunch of these from a manufacturer.

1196
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:42.560
And this was a scary investment.

1197
00:47:42.560 --> 00:47:44.240
It's one of those go before you know moments.

1198
00:47:44.240 --> 00:47:45.360
And I just remember thinking like,

1199
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:47.120
man, what if this is a total waste?

1200
00:47:47.120 --> 00:47:48.040
What if we lose it all?

1201
00:47:48.040 --> 00:47:49.040
What will my family think?

1202
00:47:49.040 --> 00:47:50.440
What will Chelsea think?

1203
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:51.280
She trusts me.

1204
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.560
If this thing fails, if I fail her, right?

1205
00:47:54.600 --> 00:47:56.640
What started with these small thoughts

1206
00:47:56.640 --> 00:47:58.120
started to become big thoughts, right?

1207
00:47:58.120 --> 00:47:59.760
These are like, oh my gosh.

1208
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:01.560
It's like moments before we launched this thing.

1209
00:48:01.560 --> 00:48:03.440
And I'm just playing all the scenarios in my head.

1210
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.320
Like I'm gonna push this button and go live

1211
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.240
and it's gonna be crickets.

1212
00:48:08.240 --> 00:48:10.520
It's gonna be like, no one's gonna buy.

1213
00:48:10.520 --> 00:48:11.360
And this whole thing's gonna fail.

1214
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.120
And you just start a spiral.

1215
00:48:13.120 --> 00:48:16.640
Anyone been in the little mental spiral before like this?

1216
00:48:16.640 --> 00:48:18.720
And when you're in the season,

1217
00:48:18.720 --> 00:48:20.840
it can feel like you're kind of in the middle of an ocean

1218
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.080
and you're in the depths

1219
00:48:23.080 --> 00:48:25.040
and you're not sure if you're gonna make it.

1220
00:48:25.040 --> 00:48:25.920
And in those moments,

1221
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:27.600
like it's like, you're just kind of out there waiting.

1222
00:48:27.600 --> 00:48:29.280
It's like the dark nights of the soul,

1223
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:33.080
the valley of the shadow of death that we hear about, right?

1224
00:48:33.080 --> 00:48:35.480
Where if you listen too closely to those thoughts,

1225
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.440
they'll nag you, they'll pull you down.

1226
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:38.840
They wanna drown you, right?

1227
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:39.680
They wanna take you out.

1228
00:48:39.680 --> 00:48:40.840
They wanna hold you back.

1229
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.280
This is the enemy of your breakthrough.

1230
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:44.960
And it's hard to see forward in those moments,

1231
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:46.160
but here's what I've learned

1232
00:48:46.160 --> 00:48:47.800
because I've been through a lot of these

1233
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:50.200
is the best thing you can do in those moments,

1234
00:48:50.200 --> 00:48:52.960
the absolute best thing you do is just start paddling, right?

1235
00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:54.960
Because even though you don't see a wave coming,

1236
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:56.920
a wave is often coming.

1237
00:48:56.920 --> 00:49:00.320
And those who aren't paddling don't catch the wave, right?

1238
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:01.600
When you're not in momentum,

1239
00:49:01.600 --> 00:49:03.640
you're just staying stuck in the fear,

1240
00:49:03.640 --> 00:49:05.320
you're not moving forward scared,

1241
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:07.320
that wave will just pass right under you.

1242
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:10.240
It'll crash on top of you if you're in the right place,

1243
00:49:10.240 --> 00:49:12.760
maybe tumbling you into more confusion than fear.

1244
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.040
But if you just get into a little bit of momentum,

1245
00:49:15.040 --> 00:49:16.880
you just start taking a step.

1246
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:19.480
I think of like Indiana Jones, you know,

1247
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:21.520
taking that step off the,

1248
00:49:21.520 --> 00:49:22.880
you guys remember that famous scene?

1249
00:49:23.680 --> 00:49:25.680
He takes like a step and there's like an invisible bridge.

1250
00:49:25.680 --> 00:49:27.720
Like, it's like just that little step, right?

1251
00:49:27.720 --> 00:49:29.840
It's not a little step, it feels like a big step,

1252
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.000
but it's just a tiny movement, right?

1253
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:34.320
And so when you get into momentum like that,

1254
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.520
and that wave comes, it'll catch you, right?

1255
00:49:37.520 --> 00:49:38.640
And this is how you break the mold,

1256
00:49:38.640 --> 00:49:40.000
this is how you become the one.

1257
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:42.640
And so I remember back on the day we launched this product,

1258
00:49:42.640 --> 00:49:45.520
it's like, I'm freaking out, having all the thoughts.

1259
00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:48.640
And this product sells out,

1260
00:49:48.640 --> 00:49:50.640
like it sells out within the day.

1261
00:49:50.680 --> 00:49:52.320
And it's like thousands of dollars

1262
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:54.760
come into our bank account, seemingly overnight,

1263
00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:57.120
even though we'd worked months to get to this place.

1264
00:49:57.120 --> 00:49:59.720
And we sat in on, and we were fulfilling all these orders,

1265
00:49:59.720 --> 00:50:00.560
so we...

1266
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.280
We packed them all up and putting all the labels on and I grabbed that last label.

1267
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:05.960
This is like the, literally the last one.

1268
00:50:06.640 --> 00:50:08.300
And I packed it up and I grabbed the label.

1269
00:50:08.300 --> 00:50:12.960
I put it on there and the name on the label was Robert Hall as the name, my

1270
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:18.360
grandpa, and, you know, at this point, my grandpa had passed away years ago, like

1271
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:22.360
before this, but there was his name staring back at me, Robert Hall, and it

1272
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.840
was like this little wink from heaven, like, keep going, like, I got you, you

1273
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.560
know, go before, you know, like, like he's even cheering for you, you know,

1274
00:50:29.600 --> 00:50:31.560
he's praying for you up there.

1275
00:50:31.560 --> 00:50:33.300
And like, there's a bigger thing happening here.

1276
00:50:33.300 --> 00:50:34.720
And I know it's scary, but I got you.

1277
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:35.360
Right.

1278
00:50:35.720 --> 00:50:37.080
And life went on from that moment.

1279
00:50:37.080 --> 00:50:37.960
It was a big win.

1280
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:40.720
It was like, wow, God, their provider, you have these moments of faith again.

1281
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:42.160
But life goes on.

1282
00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:46.440
You ride that roller coaster of ups and downs, especially in entrepreneurship.

1283
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:47.080
And.

1284
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:51.200
Um, it's months later at this point and that money, like it had to come and

1285
00:50:51.200 --> 00:50:53.880
gone, we were running a business, like we were growing and in growth, there's

1286
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:56.080
resistance and things were tight again.

1287
00:50:56.260 --> 00:50:56.760
Right.

1288
00:50:57.160 --> 00:50:59.880
And, uh, but now like we're building these mindsets, like, we're like, okay,

1289
00:50:59.880 --> 00:51:01.080
like there's a little more faith there.

1290
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:04.120
We're learning these concepts for running businesses, but costs are rising.

1291
00:51:04.120 --> 00:51:07.960
Now we got team, you know, I bought a, I bought a camera with that money, you

1292
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:11.720
know, cause I'm still doing both these businesses and, uh, I hired this local

1293
00:51:11.720 --> 00:51:15.800
guy to do editing and, um, you know, it, it kind of felt like we were right

1294
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:19.640
back in that first loft again, you know, now we're in a bigger house, bigger

1295
00:51:19.640 --> 00:51:22.880
mortgage, like, but it felt like back in that loft, like that scarcity is

1296
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:24.200
just knocking on my door again.

1297
00:51:24.240 --> 00:51:24.560
Right.

1298
00:51:24.560 --> 00:51:26.520
Like, Hey, you want to agree with me?

1299
00:51:26.680 --> 00:51:29.920
Like, I'm looking at the bank account again, it's just getting lower and lower.

1300
00:51:30.240 --> 00:51:32.320
And, and, and we're about to go into our slow season.

1301
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:33.320
This is like December.

1302
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:33.840
Right.

1303
00:51:34.200 --> 00:51:38.040
Uh, and I remember, I just feel the weight again, the weight, you know,

1304
00:51:38.040 --> 00:51:42.280
that the stress, you know, and I used to just go to hustling and striving.

1305
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:45.800
And like, you know, I, I was even in that season, having dreams in myself,

1306
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:51.560
like with my arms, just like super, super, uh, strong, but my legs were like chicken

1307
00:51:51.560 --> 00:51:54.960
legs, usually those guys that just work out their upper bodies, I was like having

1308
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:56.400
dreams of me, like holding up things.

1309
00:51:56.720 --> 00:51:59.320
I'd have like super strong arms, just super weak legs.

1310
00:51:59.720 --> 00:52:00.760
And I just saw the sign.

1311
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:02.520
Like I was, I was trying to be my own provider.

1312
00:52:02.520 --> 00:52:02.920
Still.

1313
00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:07.760
I was trying to hold this weight above my head and, um, and my, but my

1314
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:09.240
foundation, my thinking was weak.

1315
00:52:09.240 --> 00:52:10.160
It was unstable.

1316
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:11.840
I was trying to generate my money.

1317
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:12.400
Right.

1318
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:17.000
Like, uh, forgetting about service to others, forgetting about, you know,

1319
00:52:17.120 --> 00:52:18.480
really the mission, what we were doing.

1320
00:52:18.560 --> 00:52:20.800
Uh, I was focused on me, myself and I, right.

1321
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:22.520
It was lack at its core.

1322
00:52:23.200 --> 00:52:28.000
And, um, as scarcity knocked on my mental door, right.

1323
00:52:28.040 --> 00:52:30.360
Something else started rising inside of me.

1324
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:30.840
Thank God.

1325
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:31.080
Right.

1326
00:52:31.080 --> 00:52:32.360
Because I'd seen these breakthroughs.

1327
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:33.760
I had the ATM moment.

1328
00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:35.320
I had this like Robert Hall thing.

1329
00:52:35.600 --> 00:52:37.440
And I felt like God was teaching me something.

1330
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:41.560
And, um, he's so gentle to do this like over and over and over again.

1331
00:52:41.560 --> 00:52:41.960
Right.

1332
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:46.640
Um, and so I had these glimpses in the future and one day at time, which is

1333
00:52:46.640 --> 00:52:50.200
like, keep going, keep paddling, go before you know, let the money flow through you.

1334
00:52:50.200 --> 00:52:50.680
It'll come to you.

1335
00:52:50.680 --> 00:52:55.040
Like I'm just starting to rehearse these mindsets and then seemingly, um, when

1336
00:52:55.040 --> 00:52:58.720
the money was about to run out, like we needed about, I think, $10,000 to kind

1337
00:52:58.720 --> 00:53:03.600
of get through whatever that next season was, um, you know, thing, an email comes

1338
00:53:03.600 --> 00:53:06.360
in my inbox, it's, it's a job, right.

1339
00:53:06.640 --> 00:53:09.640
They found us online and this is in our photo business.

1340
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.880
Um, they saw that camera I'd gotten, you know, and they liked that I invested

1341
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:15.480
in this more cinematic camera.

1342
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:17.400
They liked that we were selling physical products, right.

1343
00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:18.240
Convergence.

1344
00:53:18.600 --> 00:53:19.960
And they were launching a product.

1345
00:53:19.960 --> 00:53:22.680
They needed a video and their budget and thousand dollars.

1346
00:53:22.680 --> 00:53:23.760
It was exactly what we need.

1347
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:24.200
Right.

1348
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:26.160
Felt like this, like manna from heaven.

1349
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:28.400
It's like, thank God provision.

1350
00:53:28.680 --> 00:53:31.120
And we flew down this, we had a fly to this one.

1351
00:53:31.120 --> 00:53:32.680
It was in Malibu, California.

1352
00:53:33.120 --> 00:53:36.120
Um, this was in this, it was in this like super wealthy neighborhood.

1353
00:53:36.520 --> 00:53:39.320
And, uh, uh, there was recently a fire in Malibu.

1354
00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:41.760
It like basically destroyed this whole neighborhood, but there's a

1355
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:43.400
handful of houses that stood.

1356
00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:44.720
And this was one of them.

1357
00:53:45.200 --> 00:53:45.640
Right.

1358
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:50.200
And I felt like, you know, this house was protected in the midst of chaos.

1359
00:53:50.200 --> 00:53:51.960
And I, it was the house we were shooting at.

1360
00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:54.320
I felt like it was just our financial situation.

1361
00:53:54.640 --> 00:53:55.480
There's a picture of it.

1362
00:53:55.480 --> 00:53:58.560
It was like somehow holding on week by week, somehow when

1363
00:53:58.560 --> 00:54:02.080
everything else is burning down, somehow God was providing and we

1364
00:54:02.080 --> 00:54:07.400
stood in the midst of fear and things saying that, like, we shouldn't be.

1365
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:08.200
They still there.

1366
00:54:08.240 --> 00:54:09.080
We were still there.

1367
00:54:09.520 --> 00:54:12.960
And it was in this place, in this mansion that we were doing this job.

1368
00:54:13.200 --> 00:54:14.680
It was like, we got to see wealth.

1369
00:54:14.720 --> 00:54:16.040
Like we had never seen it before.

1370
00:54:16.040 --> 00:54:18.600
And not just like unrighteous wealth.

1371
00:54:18.600 --> 00:54:20.160
This family was incredibly generous.

1372
00:54:20.200 --> 00:54:21.800
They were like just pouring it out for us.

1373
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:23.280
They treated us like queen and King.

1374
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:25.000
We're used to being like vendors, right.

1375
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:25.600
On the side.

1376
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.720
But these, they put us up in this guest house and they had like, it

1377
00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:30.200
was like our own whole house, right.

1378
00:54:30.200 --> 00:54:34.720
It had this room, bathrobes, goodies, the softest towels I'd ever felt.

1379
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.520
And we really felt like royalty.

1380
00:54:38.080 --> 00:54:39.280
And it was in this room.

1381
00:54:39.720 --> 00:54:41.600
Um, they left this little gift for us.

1382
00:54:41.720 --> 00:54:44.880
And, uh, on it, it was this bottle of wine, right.

1383
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:48.720
It was just this bottle of wine and on the bottle of wine, it had a name and

1384
00:54:48.720 --> 00:54:52.680
the name said Robert Hall on this, on this bottle of wine.

1385
00:54:53.080 --> 00:54:55.560
And it was just like one of these moments again, where God was just like,

1386
00:54:55.680 --> 00:54:59.800
Hey, go before, you know, I got you, you know, maybe I'm slow.

1387
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.280
because it took me probably about a year of this happening

1388
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:03.920
like over and over and over again.

1389
00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:06.520
But these are like these winks from heaven being like,

1390
00:55:06.520 --> 00:55:09.200
Hey, you think this provision is coming from you?

1391
00:55:09.200 --> 00:55:11.000
You know, like you think you striving

1392
00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:13.480
and sending an email or doing this thing

1393
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:14.480
is coming from you?

1394
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:15.680
Yeah.

1395
00:55:15.680 --> 00:55:18.120
And God is so gentle to do it in this way.

1396
00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:20.400
But I just had this moment, you know,

1397
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.480
I was just like, look out the window, look at the birds.

1398
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:25.200
Like, are they striving, you know,

1399
00:55:25.200 --> 00:55:27.720
to like work up their stuff and, you know,

1400
00:55:27.720 --> 00:55:29.560
figure out where their next worm is coming from?

1401
00:55:29.560 --> 00:55:31.920
No, they're living in abundance, right?

1402
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:32.920
Look at the flowers.

1403
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:35.440
Are they laboring and trying to spin up, you know,

1404
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:36.280
their beauty?

1405
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:38.240
No, they're living in abundance.

1406
00:55:38.240 --> 00:55:40.120
And I really had this season of just like,

1407
00:55:40.120 --> 00:55:41.160
this is probably a year or two,

1408
00:55:41.160 --> 00:55:43.920
just like these things happening over and over and over again

1409
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:45.840
until it just became cellular.

1410
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:48.360
Where, you know, now it's just like,

1411
00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:50.400
no, I'm not gonna believe the lie that there's lack.

1412
00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:51.240
I'm not gonna believe the lie

1413
00:55:51.240 --> 00:55:52.400
that I'm not gonna be provided for.

1414
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:54.760
I'm not gonna believe the lie that like,

1415
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:57.360
I shouldn't take this step of faith and God won't be there

1416
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.120
because I didn't hear him right or whatever.

1417
00:56:00.120 --> 00:56:01.720
You know, I think I used to see it like

1418
00:56:01.720 --> 00:56:04.640
God was pitching me balls and if I missed it, it'd be bad.

1419
00:56:04.640 --> 00:56:07.360
But then I got a picture of like him as a good dad

1420
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:09.040
with an abundance of balls.

1421
00:56:09.040 --> 00:56:11.760
He's got a mountain of balls.

1422
00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:12.800
He's just soft pitching me.

1423
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:14.640
He's like, son, if you want to swing at this one,

1424
00:56:14.640 --> 00:56:15.560
I got you.

1425
00:56:15.560 --> 00:56:18.320
And if you miss, it's okay, I got a lot more.

1426
00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:19.440
You know, it's totally fine.

1427
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.280
And so I think that word is for some of you guys today.

1428
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:23.200
You're feeling that nudge.

1429
00:56:23.200 --> 00:56:24.680
You're feeling that kind of thing.

1430
00:56:24.680 --> 00:56:26.000
Like, man, I feel like I'm supposed to step out

1431
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:26.840
with this thing.

1432
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:29.280
There's this fear that wants to hold me back.

1433
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:30.400
I feel like I got to move forward.

1434
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:33.640
I got to start paddling, even if it's scary.

1435
00:56:33.640 --> 00:56:35.760
But like, we have an unfair advantage, you guys.

1436
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.680
Like we know the provider, right?

1437
00:56:38.680 --> 00:56:39.800
We know the provider.

1438
00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:41.320
And I believe if you're in this room,

1439
00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:43.360
this is probably for a reason.

1440
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:44.880
There's something bigger on you.

1441
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:47.320
You are a transitional character for your family line.

1442
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:48.880
You are the one.

1443
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:50.480
And that's the reason you're doing the stuff

1444
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:51.320
no one's doing.

1445
00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:52.840
You're the reason you invested in this program.

1446
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:54.960
None of your friends are doing stuff like this.

1447
00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:56.960
Like no one's taking an hour out of their day

1448
00:56:56.960 --> 00:57:01.000
to go listen to someone talk about selling wooden toys

1449
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:02.480
on the internet, right?

1450
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:04.240
But there's principles here that are for you.

1451
00:57:04.240 --> 00:57:05.600
And I believe if you're in this room,

1452
00:57:05.600 --> 00:57:07.640
you're going to do things in your family line

1453
00:57:07.640 --> 00:57:08.520
that no one's ever done.

1454
00:57:08.520 --> 00:57:10.280
And the impact's going to be great

1455
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:13.480
if you just trust the process and the refining

1456
00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:14.880
and the resistance.

1457
00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:16.160
And it's all good.

1458
00:57:16.160 --> 00:57:17.880
Like this has been one of the hardest seasons,

1459
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:21.280
but I've been some of the most thankful for this season

1460
00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:23.720
because of who I've been able to become in the season,

1461
00:57:23.720 --> 00:57:26.440
who I've been able to know God as is in the season.

1462
00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:27.640
And that breakthrough,

1463
00:57:27.640 --> 00:57:30.800
it could be just on the other side of taking that step.

1464
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:35.720
And when I look back on 2020, this is 2020,

1465
00:57:35.720 --> 00:57:38.560
this is the first challenge we did.

1466
00:57:38.560 --> 00:57:39.840
This isn't the first challenge we did.

1467
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:41.560
We did many challenges before this challenge,

1468
00:57:41.560 --> 00:57:44.520
but this is the first seven figure challenge we did.

1469
00:57:44.520 --> 00:57:45.640
And we had no idea.

1470
00:57:46.560 --> 00:57:50.400
Kaizen was, our son was I think two months old at this time.

1471
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:52.880
This was right after we started sleeping.

1472
00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:55.120
And I can't even believe this

1473
00:57:55.120 --> 00:57:57.600
because at this time it was just me, Chelsea, Kai,

1474
00:57:57.600 --> 00:57:59.760
and like a nanny, you know?

1475
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:02.560
And now, you know, that nanny, she still works for us,

1476
00:58:02.560 --> 00:58:03.800
but she's like a coach in our community.

1477
00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:05.600
We have 85 other people working for us.

1478
00:58:05.600 --> 00:58:08.320
We're able to impact thousands of people

1479
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:10.920
every single day in our community, right?

1480
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:12.200
There's been super scary moments.

1481
00:58:12.200 --> 00:58:13.200
There's been super hard moments,

1482
00:58:13.200 --> 00:58:15.280
but somehow like we just keep paddling.

1483
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:18.080
You keep just trusting that if I had,

1484
00:58:18.080 --> 00:58:19.880
if I focus on what's on my hand,

1485
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.160
if I steward it, I multiply it,

1486
00:58:22.160 --> 00:58:24.800
like it's going to continue to multiply.

1487
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:27.400
And so I just want to end by just encouraging guys,

1488
00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:29.520
pursue vision, not provision.

1489
00:58:29.520 --> 00:58:31.640
Every one of you here is here for a reason.

1490
00:58:31.640 --> 00:58:33.080
You have a vision.

1491
00:58:33.080 --> 00:58:34.560
You're not going to let money tell you what to do.

1492
00:58:34.560 --> 00:58:36.040
You're going to tell money what to do

1493
00:58:36.040 --> 00:58:38.640
because for us, prosperity is about blessing others.

1494
00:58:38.640 --> 00:58:39.480
When this is our normal,

1495
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:41.280
our wealth is not determined by the money

1496
00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:42.880
in our bank account.

1497
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:45.600
And I believe that, you know, today is the day

1498
00:58:45.600 --> 00:58:47.280
some of you guys are going to take this step

1499
00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:48.800
and you're going to make that action.

1500
00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:51.320
So just to make it real as we end,

1501
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:53.800
I would ask you two big questions, okay?

1502
00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:56.400
Actually one small question, one big question, okay?

1503
00:58:58.240 --> 00:59:00.920
Hearing this, we talked about money, money traps a void.

1504
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:02.600
We talked about mindsets.

1505
00:59:02.600 --> 00:59:03.880
Maybe one of those was really stirring

1506
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:05.520
and you feel like you're supposed to write it down,

1507
00:59:05.520 --> 00:59:08.120
put it on your mirror and just make it cellular.

1508
00:59:08.120 --> 00:59:09.920
Be like, God, I want to go on a journey with you on this.

1509
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:11.760
It took me, I mean, I'm still learning.

1510
00:59:11.760 --> 00:59:13.160
God is my provider.

1511
00:59:13.160 --> 00:59:15.240
But I really learned it in that season.

1512
00:59:15.240 --> 00:59:17.240
I'm learning at a higher level now,

1513
00:59:17.240 --> 00:59:18.920
at an even scarier level, right?

1514
00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:20.560
But like, I'm so thankful for that season

1515
00:59:20.560 --> 00:59:22.320
where he just like, that was the thing you really needed.

1516
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:23.760
If there's a thing that like one of these things,

1517
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:24.600
you're just man, like God,

1518
00:59:24.600 --> 00:59:26.400
I want to lean in with you on this thing.

1519
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:28.000
Just ask him, he's such a good dad.

1520
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:29.160
If you have desire in your heart,

1521
00:59:29.160 --> 00:59:31.280
he will walk with you in that.

1522
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:32.560
Write it down, work with him,

1523
00:59:32.560 --> 00:59:34.680
look for those life parables and things happening

1524
00:59:34.680 --> 00:59:36.360
because he'll show up for you

1525
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:39.440
and he'll mentor your mindset on these things.

1526
00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:40.960
But the big question and the small question,

1527
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:42.520
I can remember the small question.

1528
00:59:42.520 --> 00:59:44.120
I'm thinking of the big question,

1529
00:59:44.120 --> 00:59:48.560
but the small question is, what is the smallest?

1530
00:59:48.560 --> 00:59:49.840
Okay, so some of you guys, okay,

1531
00:59:49.880 --> 00:59:51.800
raise your hand if you feel like you have something

1532
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:54.000
to go before, you know, I think it was for everyone,

1533
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:55.840
but there's something that comes to mind specifically,

1534
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:56.680
right?

1535
00:59:56.680 --> 00:59:58.760
I feel like I'm supposed to go before I know on this thing.

1536
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:00.760
It could be in your business, it could be.

1537
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.280
your marriage, it could be in your life.

1538
01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:03.680
It could be, you know, it could be anywhere,

1539
01:00:03.680 --> 01:00:06.400
but is everyone getting kind of something that's like,

1540
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:07.320
man, I feel like I'm supposed to go

1541
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:08.320
before I know on that thing.

1542
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:10.120
Okay, so here's the small question,

1543
01:00:10.120 --> 01:00:12.000
but there's a big question.

1544
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:17.000
What is the easiest, fastest, simplest thing

1545
01:00:17.520 --> 01:00:19.220
that you can do to move forward towards that thing

1546
01:00:19.220 --> 01:00:20.580
in the next five minutes?

1547
01:00:22.520 --> 01:00:24.000
It's not like building the whole thing.

1548
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:25.080
It's not launching the whole thing.

1549
01:00:25.080 --> 01:00:27.160
What's the smallest, smallest, smallest, smallest step

1550
01:00:27.160 --> 01:00:28.200
you can take towards it?

1551
01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:29.240
I'm not talking about brushing your teeth.

1552
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:31.680
I'm talking about brushing one tooth, okay?

1553
01:00:31.680 --> 01:00:33.400
What's the smallest thing?

1554
01:00:33.400 --> 01:00:35.200
I'm talking about picking up the toothbrush.

1555
01:00:35.200 --> 01:00:37.440
Like, what's the smallest thing, fastest, easiest,

1556
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:38.800
like in the next five minutes.

1557
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:39.840
It takes longer than five minutes.

1558
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:40.920
It's too big.

1559
01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:43.880
Well, it's like the smallest thing you can do, right?

1560
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:45.600
Is like buy that domain name.

1561
01:00:45.600 --> 01:00:47.600
Is it makeup?

1562
01:00:47.600 --> 01:00:49.840
Is it text a friend, you know?

1563
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:51.240
Is it post in the community

1564
01:00:51.240 --> 01:00:52.840
and kind of declare what this thing is

1565
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:54.680
and actually talk about it for the first time?

1566
01:00:54.680 --> 01:00:55.960
Like, what is that thing?

1567
01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:58.160
Okay, so Holy Spirit, give them that smallest,

1568
01:00:58.160 --> 01:01:02.000
easiest, fastest thing that they can literally do.

1569
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:03.800
After this call, five minutes,

1570
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:05.800
and you guys do it right then.

1571
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:08.040
Get into action, paddle, okay?

1572
01:01:08.040 --> 01:01:11.040
Send the email, post the thing, text them,

1573
01:01:11.040 --> 01:01:12.520
whatever that is, right?

1574
01:01:14.560 --> 01:01:17.240
Tell your husband, like, I don't know, okay?

1575
01:01:17.240 --> 01:01:18.880
Whatever it is coming to your heart right now,

1576
01:01:18.880 --> 01:01:20.960
seal it in your heart and say, I'm going to do that.

1577
01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:24.600
As soon as we hang up, five minutes after the hour,

1578
01:01:24.600 --> 01:01:26.000
I'm going a little over.

1579
01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:28.560
So whatever five minutes is after I hand,

1580
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.240
you're going to do it?

1581
01:01:31.240 --> 01:01:33.720
Okay, everyone got your thing?

1582
01:01:33.720 --> 01:01:35.720
Give me a thumbs up if you're going to do it.

1583
01:01:36.640 --> 01:01:39.040
Okay, I know it's scary,

1584
01:01:39.040 --> 01:01:41.760
but just small, tiny, tiny thing, tiny, tiny thing.

1585
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:43.480
Okay, cool.

1586
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:45.440
And there was a big question, but I forget what it was.

1587
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:46.560
So I think that's it.

1588
01:01:46.560 --> 01:01:48.200
I think that's all we got to do today.

1589
01:01:48.200 --> 01:01:49.920
Again, you guys don't need to strive for this.

1590
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:51.520
God's going to bring you into it,

1591
01:01:51.520 --> 01:01:53.080
but he's looking for people to paddle.

1592
01:01:53.080 --> 01:01:55.240
He's looking for people to partner with, you know,

1593
01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:58.920
who are going to focus on what they have and multiply it,

1594
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:00.680
not just bury it.

1595
01:02:00.680 --> 01:02:03.360
So that's my encouragement for you guys today.

1596
01:02:03.360 --> 01:02:05.520
Do the thing, the small thing,

1597
01:02:05.520 --> 01:02:06.520
and it'll get you momentum.

1598
01:02:06.520 --> 01:02:07.720
It's a good step.

1599
01:02:07.720 --> 01:02:09.160
Cool?

1600
01:02:09.160 --> 01:02:10.080
Awesome.

1601
01:02:10.080 --> 01:02:10.920
Dude, wow, wow, wow.

1602
01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:11.760
Guys, thank you.

1603
01:02:11.760 --> 01:02:12.600
Just blow up the chat.

1604
01:02:12.600 --> 01:02:14.040
Thank you, Steven, for showing up.

1605
01:02:14.040 --> 01:02:17.320
I know we talked just super briefly before this,

1606
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:19.120
and I was like, I know whatever Steven's going to share

1607
01:02:19.120 --> 01:02:20.920
is going to like change someone's life today

1608
01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:21.760
and encourage you guys.

1609
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:22.840
So I think everybody, you know,

1610
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:24.600
I know you weren't worshiping too much of the chat,

1611
01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:26.640
but like there's so much testimony

1612
01:02:26.640 --> 01:02:30.040
of like people getting breakthrough, I think, on this call.

1613
01:02:30.040 --> 01:02:32.320
I would just say like, if you could just,

1614
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:34.680
I would love for you just to pray for us real quick,

1615
01:02:34.680 --> 01:02:35.520
if you don't mind.

1616
01:02:35.520 --> 01:02:37.040
I know we're a little over time,

1617
01:02:37.040 --> 01:02:39.040
but yeah, let's do a super quick prayer.

1618
01:02:39.040 --> 01:02:40.320
But I'd love to, you know,

1619
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:41.800
obviously there's prayer, right?

1620
01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:44.760
We're just like, hey, bless Jennifer and her business

1621
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:45.600
and hope it wells.

1622
01:02:45.600 --> 01:02:47.560
But what I actually really want is like Steven

1623
01:02:47.560 --> 01:02:49.120
to impart something on us,

1624
01:02:49.120 --> 01:02:53.120
because the lessons that Steven's talking about here,

1625
01:02:53.120 --> 01:02:55.680
yeah, these are like multimillion dollar lessons

1626
01:02:55.680 --> 01:02:57.840
that they've learned as a couple.

1627
01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:00.120
And he's like, oh yeah, here's like a few bullet points.

1628
01:03:00.120 --> 01:03:01.000
And like, here's some things,

1629
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:04.120
but these are life-changing principles

1630
01:03:04.120 --> 01:03:05.840
that will change how you think about money,

1631
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:07.320
how you think about the Lord

1632
01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:09.160
and how you think about yourself, honestly,

1633
01:03:09.160 --> 01:03:10.440
of how you interact with the Lord

1634
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:13.360
and how you partner with Him and how good He is.

1635
01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:16.080
So I think, I just appreciate you already

1636
01:03:16.080 --> 01:03:17.120
kind of opening it up for us,

1637
01:03:17.120 --> 01:03:18.680
but I'd love to just impart something

1638
01:03:18.680 --> 01:03:20.840
and bless and kind of commission people

1639
01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:22.680
to go out and do this.

1640
01:03:23.240 --> 01:03:26.000
Because I think everybody here just super encouraged.

1641
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:27.280
I was like, I'm just like, yeah,

1642
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:28.120
I'm gonna go do the thing.

1643
01:03:28.120 --> 01:03:29.640
Like, I'm gonna go do that thing.

1644
01:03:29.640 --> 01:03:30.720
There's always things in your business.

1645
01:03:30.720 --> 01:03:32.840
It doesn't matter, like Steven's doing it.

1646
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:33.680
I'm doing it.

1647
01:03:33.680 --> 01:03:35.640
We're all doing different things in our business.

1648
01:03:35.640 --> 01:03:36.920
Like there's always those next steps.

1649
01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:38.400
There's always this next thing to take,

1650
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:39.240
ground to go take.

1651
01:03:39.240 --> 01:03:40.840
So this is something to learn.

1652
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:43.280
But yeah, if you pray for us, man, that'd be awesome.

1653
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:44.280
Yeah, awesome.

1654
01:03:45.160 --> 01:03:46.440
All right, thank you, Jesus.

1655
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:48.480
We just praise you, God.

1656
01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:49.720
You're so good.

1657
01:03:49.720 --> 01:03:52.360
You're such a good father to us.

1658
01:03:53.680 --> 01:03:56.240
You just have so much for us

1659
01:03:56.240 --> 01:03:57.280
and you're willing to trust us.

1660
01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:00.240
You're willing to give us opportunity after opportunity,

1661
01:04:00.240 --> 01:04:01.360
saying you wanna swing at this one,

1662
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:02.320
you wanna swing at that one.

1663
01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:04.160
There's not a right, there's not a wrong.

1664
01:04:04.160 --> 01:04:05.760
I got you either way.

1665
01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:07.120
And I thank you that you've just,

1666
01:04:07.120 --> 01:04:09.160
you've been there for me, God,

1667
01:04:09.160 --> 01:04:12.200
and you're being there for this community.

1668
01:04:12.200 --> 01:04:15.200
And so I just declare over them your goodness,

1669
01:04:15.200 --> 01:04:17.080
your hand on them.

1670
01:04:17.080 --> 01:04:20.000
These abundant mindsets just literally come

1671
01:04:20.560 --> 01:04:24.680
into their brain and just rewire neural pathways right now.

1672
01:04:24.680 --> 01:04:27.200
I just declare an increased sensitivity

1673
01:04:28.120 --> 01:04:31.240
to any language that's not aligned with how you think, God,

1674
01:04:31.240 --> 01:04:34.960
around lack, around money, around opportunity,

1675
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:38.520
that these would be the biggest dreamers in their circle,

1676
01:04:38.520 --> 01:04:42.440
that they would just be dreaming as big as you're dreaming

1677
01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:45.720
over the impact that they can have when they trust,

1678
01:04:45.720 --> 01:04:47.560
when they take that step of faith.

1679
01:04:47.560 --> 01:04:49.160
And I thank you, God, that you are the bridge.

1680
01:04:49.200 --> 01:04:50.040
You're always there.

1681
01:04:50.040 --> 01:04:51.320
As we take that step of faith,

1682
01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:54.160
you are that bridge that you're solid.

1683
01:04:54.160 --> 01:04:55.000
You're there.

1684
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:57.200
We can step on you and we can go with you

1685
01:04:57.200 --> 01:04:58.840
and we can trust you and we're secure.

1686
01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:00.440
I just declare like a secure.

1687
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.680
30 over this room, even in the scariest situations

1688
01:05:04.680 --> 01:05:07.000
that are happening right now, financially,

1689
01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:11.480
relationally, legally, that your peace would just reign.

1690
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:15.440
It would just reign over this room in Jesus name.

1691
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:20.440
And I just see new crowns of authority coming on you guys.

1692
01:05:21.080 --> 01:05:22.120
It's actually already been there,

1693
01:05:22.120 --> 01:05:27.120
but it's almost like the fog is clearing

1694
01:05:27.400 --> 01:05:31.160
and revealing that authority on this room,

1695
01:05:31.160 --> 01:05:35.480
the royalty you are walking in, that identity,

1696
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:38.480
and with that authority, responsibility,

1697
01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:40.720
you know, that God is giving you to take action,

1698
01:05:40.720 --> 01:05:44.760
to lean in, to be the one, to take the scary step,

1699
01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:47.080
to be the first out of the boat

1700
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:50.000
and go on a miraculous journey.

1701
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:51.040
I just thank you, Jesus,

1702
01:05:51.040 --> 01:05:55.200
that like this room is a room of miracle walkers

1703
01:05:56.080 --> 01:05:57.400
that walk it out.

1704
01:05:57.400 --> 01:05:59.160
And we just thank you, God, for doing it with us,

1705
01:05:59.160 --> 01:06:01.200
for taking care of us.

1706
01:06:01.200 --> 01:06:02.680
We love you, amen.

1707
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:05.280
Amen.

1708
01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:06.840
It was so good that Bruce left.

1709
01:06:09.560 --> 01:06:12.440
All right, Bruce is gone.

1710
01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:14.360
Thank you so much, Stephen.

1711
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:16.520
We really, yeah, we couldn't watch the,

1712
01:06:16.520 --> 01:06:18.800
we'll all watch the replay and yeah, couldn't.

1713
01:06:18.800 --> 01:06:19.640
Love it.

1714
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:23.840
Okay, guys, so sorry, Sally, about the time change.

1715
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:27.640
Yes, our time changed and we are in our,

1716
01:06:27.640 --> 01:06:29.240
whatever direction we're supposed to be.

1717
01:06:29.240 --> 01:06:31.040
Ooh, look, who's back?

1718
01:06:31.040 --> 01:06:32.240
And Bruce is back.

1719
01:06:33.680 --> 01:06:35.240
But I think we're wrapping up.

1720
01:06:35.240 --> 01:06:36.200
Maybe not.

1721
01:06:36.200 --> 01:06:37.400
Bruce, are you here?

1722
01:06:41.120 --> 01:06:41.960
No, we're not.

1723
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:42.800
He left.

1724
01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:44.760
Well, I love you guys.

1725
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:48.240
Anytime you guys want me back, happy to come back in.

1726
01:06:48.240 --> 01:06:49.080
Love Bruce.

1727
01:06:49.080 --> 01:06:51.640
You guys are in great hands with the Van Zyls

1728
01:06:51.680 --> 01:06:54.720
and they've just been incredible friends to us

1729
01:06:54.720 --> 01:06:57.120
and just life bringers,

1730
01:06:57.120 --> 01:07:00.760
even when we're having those moments of freaking out,

1731
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:01.760
which is totally normal.

1732
01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:03.560
So if you're freaking out,

1733
01:07:03.560 --> 01:07:05.480
you're feeling strong today, great, awesome,

1734
01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:06.360
but tomorrow you're freaking out,

1735
01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:08.720
just hit this group, lean into your community.

1736
01:07:08.720 --> 01:07:09.800
These are your people, you know?

1737
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:13.240
So thanks, Bruce, for being that for me.

1738
01:07:13.240 --> 01:07:14.400
Awesome.

1739
01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:15.720
Sorry, my internet died and I'm back,

1740
01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:17.880
but I'm sure whatever you said was amazing.

1741
01:07:19.600 --> 01:07:21.040
That's awesome, but thank you, Stephen.

1742
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:23.520
This was super encouraging

1743
01:07:23.520 --> 01:07:25.720
and I just appreciate you sharing your heart

1744
01:07:25.720 --> 01:07:27.800
and the territory that you've taken

1745
01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:30.400
and you've pioneered now making a way

1746
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:32.320
for others like us to come in behind.

1747
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:33.560
So I appreciate it.

1748
01:07:33.560 --> 01:07:34.960
We bless you.

1749
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:36.360
Thanks, man.

1750
01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:37.200
Bye.

1751
01:07:37.200 --> 01:07:38.600
Talk to you guys soon.

1752
01:07:38.600 --> 01:07:39.440
See ya.
