00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.780
All right, welcome, welcome, welcome to Office Hours.

2
00:00:08.780 --> 00:00:14.060
This is one of the perks, of course, of being a Prosper Leader member.

3
00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:18.580
Every Thursday morning, 9 a.m. Pacific time.

4
00:00:18.580 --> 00:00:21.020
So congratulations on being here.

5
00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:22.820
This is your time.

6
00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:31.040
Honestly, I always have things to share, but the purpose of this time is for you.

7
00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:33.040
Can we celebrate you?

8
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:36.200
Is there something that went really well this week?

9
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.920
Like I know, before we started, Karen was sharing her new business cards.

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.960
She's got some big things coming up, very, very exciting.

11
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.980
And so do you have something exciting to share?

12
00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:53.700
Are you working on something and you're not sure the next step?

13
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.340
Do you have some questions?

14
00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:58.380
Would you like feedback from the group?

15
00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:06.560
And of course, what I want to share with you is really some timely conversation about where

16
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:15.320
we are in the marketplace right now, what people are going through, and how we can respond,

17
00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:27.720
how we can show up differently and truly catapult your impact and catapult your income.

18
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:28.720
Catapult up.

19
00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:30.040
I got a bunch of people trying to come in.

20
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.720
Let me let everybody in.

21
00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:33.720
Oh, and that's Linda.

22
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.640
So it's always awesome.

23
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.160
She can always great to have team on.

24
00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:39.160
Yay.

25
00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:42.520
Didn't want to leave you in the waiting room and let me make you co-host.

26
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:43.520
Okay, good.

27
00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:47.120
Now I won't leave people in the waiting room.

28
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:48.120
All right.

29
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.600
So if you have something you want to share, something that's working really awesome, something

30
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:59.160
you're not sure about, something you want feedback on, just raise your virtual hand

31
00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:01.560
because I may not see you.

32
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.240
If you really flag it, I will, or Linda will notice.

33
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:07.320
But if you can raise your virtual hand, awesome.

34
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:09.639
We'll talk about it.

35
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.440
And in between, I've got some exciting things to share with you.

36
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.360
Let's start with prayer.

37
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.200
I see Karen is first.

38
00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:20.880
So father, we just thank you for this time.

39
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:26.560
Thank you for the gift of business.

40
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:37.160
Thank you for the gift of serving in the market, the gift of marketplace ministry.

41
00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:41.440
I know Jesus, that's where you spent most of your time.

42
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:45.040
And I know that's where most people spend most of their life.

43
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:47.840
And we get to show up.

44
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.440
We get to bring your love.

45
00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:50.840
We get to bring your healing.

46
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.760
We get to bring your transformation.

47
00:02:52.760 --> 00:03:00.960
So today, Lord, I just ask that you live through us, breathe through us, write through us,

48
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.600
coach through us, create through us and be glorified.

49
00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:08.720
We ask in Jesus name.

50
00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:09.720
Amen.

51
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Okay, Karen.

52
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.600
Oh, did you take your hand back down?

53
00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:14.600
Oh, yeah.

54
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:15.600
No, just during prayer.

55
00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:16.600
Okay.

56
00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:17.600
Yeah.

57
00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:18.600
Yeah.

58
00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:19.600
I thought it was rude.

59
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:20.600
Oh, no, it's fine.

60
00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:22.520
I what's your my eyes were closed.

61
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:23.520
I didn't see it.

62
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.520
So anyway, um, what is your question comment?

63
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:36.000
I'm excited for like, excited and I'm actually what you had just said, like the times right

64
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.080
now for somebody who is helping people in recovery, try to stay sober, there's a lot

65
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:48.760
of anxiety and our meeting rooms right now people are very fearful of like the people

66
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:50.560
right now.

67
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:56.240
So that's I hate to say, but it's kind of like, it's something that I well, I'm aware

68
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.480
of, I don't I don't want to say it benefits me.

69
00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:02.000
But you know, like, at least I have a service that can help these people, you know, that

70
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.920
are like, so, um, yeah, um, I think you're very accurate.

71
00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:13.600
And it's, of course, you're seeing it in your space, because that's the space you're in.

72
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:18.839
But we're all I imagine all of you could relate.

73
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:30.080
There is a high level of anxiety right now, a high level of confusion, a high level of

74
00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:38.560
almost paralysis, people not knowing which way the ball is going to bounce, and not knowing

75
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:39.560
how to prepare.

76
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:40.560
Is it good?

77
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:41.680
Are we going into the golden age?

78
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.240
Are we going into war?

79
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.080
Are we like falling apart?

80
00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:51.840
Are we like, cleaning up our act and just doing amazing things and all of those opinions

81
00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:55.520
are circulating at the same time.

82
00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:59.920
And people don't, in general, respond well to change.

83
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000
And so this is our, this is our season.

84
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:16.000
This is our season to move from being consumers to being how God made us creators, co-creators

85
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:26.000
to allow him to create through us, to take your gifts, to take your life experience and

86
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:33.000
use it in this season to bring hope, to bring healing, to bring transformation.

87
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.000
I shared with Karen, she got on, she was first on the call.

88
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:43.000
And, and of course I, you know, I'm coaching and know her outside of this call and what

89
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:49.000
I can see, and I know this is true for Karen and probably for many of you, everything that

90
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.000
has happened in your life is a gift.

91
00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:03.000
It brought you where you are and it is culminating for you to offer it.

92
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:11.000
This is, so Karen has taken the, the, the, the pain, the challenges of her own addictions,

93
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:20.000
her own recovery, the lessons, the beauty, and here she is showing up.

94
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:28.000
And this is what I believe the season there's, you add to the confusion of the world state

95
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:38.000
to the fact that AI is bringing information overload, that the change is happening so

96
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.000
fast.

97
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.000
Like I am always a front runner.

98
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.000
I, I, I'm at the beginning of movements.

99
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.000
It's been my life pattern.

100
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:56.000
And for me, being at the front end takes everything to even just stay on time as to all the changes,

101
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.000
right?

102
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:03.000
Like AI is a, like chat GPT alone is a whole new game right now, what you can do with it.

103
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.000
So for that, I say, congratulations, Karen, and you're in the right place at the right

104
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.000
time.

105
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.000
And I believe that you showing up, that's it right now.

106
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.000
That's it.

107
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.000
You have the courage to say yes, to move forward.

108
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.000
I love how you implement everything I'm sharing with you.

109
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.000
So what, what is your question?

110
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.000
What would you love to share?

111
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.000
Well, actually you got me thinking I'm going to a speaker event.

112
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.000
I got invited by this woman.

113
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.000
It's a group of women that have a speaking organization and they're having a meeting.

114
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.000
So I'm going to meet people.

115
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.000
And that's why I wanted to update my card.

116
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:50.000
If everybody could, nobody could say it, but anyway, here's the front and the back, because

117
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.000
I have two different things.

118
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:57.000
I have the online women's community that you can use this little QR code and go right into

119
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.000
the rooms.

120
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.000
And then the other one has all my information for transformational coaching and speaking.

121
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.000
So it pays like double duty, but I was just thinking about what you said.

122
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.000
And I am gearing up.

123
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.000
I feel like God in the past year has been like, like really urging me to move forward.

124
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.000
Like last year, I couldn't understand why, but now I understand it's all coming to fruition.

125
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.000
Like you said.

126
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.000
Yeah.

127
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.000
I'm getting my website really tight.

128
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.000
I'm getting my cards really tight.

129
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.000
I sent out a newsletter today.

130
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.000
I'm getting like, I've met with the mayor of Marstown the other day.

131
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.000
I'm going into New York.

132
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.000
I just got an invitation this morning at my old rehab in Pennsylvania to come and speak.

133
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:42.000
But I'm thinking tomorrow, what I'm going to do is whip together on chat GPT is I'm going to

134
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.000
really get a speech together about these uncertain times and about sobriety.

135
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.000
And how we have to like really work on our mental health.

136
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.000
I think that would be a really great topic to talk about.

137
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.000
So yeah, just happy to be here.

138
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.000
Congratulations.

139
00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.000
Congratulations.

140
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Let's give Karen a snap and congratulations.

141
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:14.000
I've been really impressed with how quick you are to implement everything I suggest.

142
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.000
And then she sends me back a list of everything that she's done.

143
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.000
And that's just a dream.

144
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.000
And I'll tell you that success loves speed.

145
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.000
Success loves implementation.

146
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.000
So I want to congratulate you.

147
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:40.000
And most of all, most, which is true for all of us right now, the thing that you can do different than AI,

148
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:46.000
the thing that you can do different than information.

149
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:56.000
Like if you're still in the old model that you think what you do is bring information, you're way behind.

150
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.000
The world doesn't need more information.

151
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.000
Obviously.

152
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.520
they're being buried in information. Information is at a push of a button. You must think different.

153
00:10:07.520 --> 00:10:13.760
And that's what I want to talk about today in between your questions, how you show up

154
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:20.800
differently than just bringing information. How do you bring transformation?

155
00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:31.200
And the first thing which you're doing, Karen, is by showing up. And I mean the real you,

156
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:42.400
the raw, the vulnerable, the transparent, the messy, but it's you. And this is the world is so

157
00:10:42.400 --> 00:10:53.440
hungry. And then showing up with consistency, right now, when the world is full of inconsistency,

158
00:10:53.440 --> 00:11:01.200
what are they looking for? Someone, something that will be consistent. Do you have things

159
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:10.480
that go out at the same time every day or every week? Are you releasing a YouTube video same

160
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.840
day of the week? Are you releasing a newsletter, which is your first step?

161
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:24.480
A very vulnerable, transparent, helpful, engaging newsletter, same time every week. Can your audience

162
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.240
count on you? Because they can't count on anything right now. Everything's changing. Do you see how

163
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:35.680
important that your consistency is? Not just important for your success. Consistency has

164
00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:42.720
always been the key to momentum. But your consistency right now is what your audience

165
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:48.880
is crying for. Do you show up the same way every day? Are you showing up with the same message or

166
00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:53.760
are you this day and this, this, and now you're over here and you used to be this kind of coach

167
00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:59.840
and now you're, okay. Many of you are adjusting and you've tried some things. This is the time to

168
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:06.160
land and show up consistently. The world's looking for that right now. Can you see how

169
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:12.160
important that is and how that distinguishes you? And then I want to ask, we have, we started this

170
00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:20.720
conversation and the prosper leader membership calls. How are you showing up with faith,

171
00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:32.720
with expectation, with good news? The gospel is the gospel of good news. Are you showing up with

172
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:39.840
good news when it's doomsday out there? Are you showing up with hope? Are you showing up with

173
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:49.200
positively? Are you modeling? Because really the climate out there is very similar to when we first

174
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:56.320
went into the lockdowns and COVID. Can you kind of tell the similarity? It's that same kind of

175
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:02.480
paralysis. Do I go? Do I stop? Which way? What's happening? Can I trust? I'm scared. What's going

176
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:12.400
to happen? Can you feel that's happening a lot right now? And so for you to show up consistently

177
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:20.240
and allow your faith to shine through is so important right now. I'm going to give you

178
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:23.920
some tips and tools how to do that, but let me see. Did anybody raise their hand?

179
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:29.360
Jennifer, you have your hand up. Good. All right. Let's come. You let me.

180
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.960
Lower hand. I have some good news that I thought I would share.

181
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.160
Because hold on. There you are. Great. What's the good news? Tell me all about it.

182
00:13:38.880 --> 00:13:45.120
Well, we were on a call last week and just for the sake of everyone else, I just started back

183
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:52.480
to work after a long hiatus of caregiving. So I started back last Monday. So it's been what?

184
00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:01.120
Barely nine days. God has given me my lane. I was praying for, okay, there's all these things I

185
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:06.400
could do, but what should I really do? Who's that market? And listening to a lot of the questions

186
00:14:06.400 --> 00:14:13.040
that Brenda asked through one of the recent programs she did. And so I'm very clear on the

187
00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:22.160
lane, very clear on the customer and who else it involves. And the job right now is to sit kind of

188
00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:29.760
at the edge of the wilderness and plan and prepare and pray each day and listen. And I'm doing the

189
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:34.160
90-day planner, which I'm loving. I hated it the first day. I love it now.

190
00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:39.920
Because it's such a shift. Tell me, why did you hate it? Why do you love it?

191
00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:47.600
So many details to track and follow through the day. And instead of doing one thing for my quiet

192
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:53.840
time, it's doing six things. But it really is good to stretch and learn and grow and try. And yes,

193
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:59.840
Barbara, I see you. And so I'm loving that I landed my first paying gig.

194
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.000
Yay! It's not till June, but it's in something I used to do.

195
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:10.000
It's not within this vision, but the vision is going to take a little time.

196
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:15.000
You know, it's like the markets. It's going to change, but we have to be patient.

197
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:20.000
Yeah, but one weekend of deciding and showing up and getting clarity, and you've got a gig.

198
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:27.000
Right, and that paid gig helps me do the things I need to do, even though I won't get paid till I get there.

199
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.000
But it's exciting.

200
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:34.000
Yay! Thank you so much for sharing. Let's give Jennifer a snap. Woohoo!

201
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.000
I'm telling you, Prosper Leader members are going places right now.

202
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:44.000
Things are happening. You guys are moving. My heart is so full. I'm so thrilled.

203
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:53.000
So one week, she gets clear. She starts using the Prosper Daily Flatter, and we've got the first gig. Yay!

204
00:15:53.000 --> 00:16:00.000
All right. Okay, Barbara, I see your hand is up. Let's bring you up here. All right, let's talk.

205
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:05.000
All right. I have a quick faith story that I think will inspire people.

206
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:14.000
And Brenda, I love what Jennifer just said, sitting on the edge of the forest and listening and planning and just expectantly hoping.

207
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:20.000
I have a discovery call today with someone. She sent me a message on LinkedIn and said,

208
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:25.000
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to cancel. This would have been my daughter's 21st birthday.

209
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.000
Her daughter passed away in a tragic car accident with her mom.

210
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:37.000
And I just responded and I said, we share something deep here.

211
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:42.000
Sorry, my dad passed away a year ago today.

212
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:49.000
So I just I said that, you know, we share this really deep connection now.

213
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.000
And she said she wants to keep the call. So she was going to cancel.

214
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.000
But this is how you show up with your faith and authenticity.

215
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:01.000
And it touches people and they need it. There's a gift in the giving.

216
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:06.000
I love that. And there's so much in what you just said.

217
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:16.000
Because here again, like like Karen, you know, you're you're taking your pain that could drive you to isolate,

218
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:21.000
could drive you to any number of things, depression, bitterness, resentment.

219
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:25.000
I mean, you know, it drives people to all kinds of things. And you're taking that.

220
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:34.000
And like Romans chapter 12, you're offering yourself, you're offering that part of yourself as a living sacrifice.

221
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:41.000
It's no accident that you would both share that day and that you would have courage.

222
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:47.000
This is what I'm talking about. Showing up authentically, messy, vulnerably.

223
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:54.000
And but but showing up. And that's so, so, so beautiful.

224
00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:00.000
Thank you for being you. And just thank you for showing up.

225
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.000
Let's give her a snap. Let's give her a snap.

226
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:14.000
I also want to say that there's something very important that you did that I've been doing a lot lately.

227
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:25.000
Don't take the first cancellation. Don't take like dig in and be there.

228
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:33.000
And keep them in the fold. Because the tendency is to shut down and run.

229
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.000
I'm not going to keep that appointment. I'm not going to get coaching. I'm not.

230
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:43.000
You know, this is scary, whatever the tendency for many is to shut down and run.

231
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:53.000
And I have seen time and time again when we don't give up and we keep on going.

232
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.000
And I'm going to give you I'm going to give you a couple examples.

233
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.000
I'm going to give you an older example. I'm going to give you an example that just happened like yesterday.

234
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:13.000
OK, an older example. I had a young woman that was in health and nutrition that I was following online and engaging.

235
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:22.000
DMs talking, making invitations. Let's do a call. Let's coach. Had had a couple calls.

236
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:29.000
She kept postponing it a month, another month. This is happening. That's happening.

237
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.000
Remember, I've shared with you the fortune is in the follow up.

238
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:39.000
And so, I mean, months are dragging on. I don't remember. I'd have to go back, but at least six months.

239
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:46.000
And then I get a hold of her again and she says, oh, we decided to go with a different.

240
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:51.000
We're going to go with this coaching program certification or something.

241
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.000
So I want you to put yourself in that place. You've been following up for six months.

242
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.000
And then the person you're following up with says.

243
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.200
Oh, actually, we decided to work with someone else.

244
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.440
I want to know, honest engine, what would you do right there?

245
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.480
What would you feel?

246
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.040
What would you do?

247
00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:12.280
Pop it in the chat.

248
00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:14.000
Honest engine, what would you do?

249
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.680
Get discouraged, get depressed, have self-talk,

250
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:18.480
say it never works.

251
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.440
What would you do?

252
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.300
I'm so curious.

253
00:20:20.300 --> 00:20:23.120
Pop it in the chat.

254
00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:25.240
What would you do in that situation?

255
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:29.240
Because you're going to have that situation.

256
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.160
What would you do?

257
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:32.680
You've been following up for months.

258
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.040
You've been doing your part.

259
00:20:34.040 --> 00:20:35.160
And then she said, sorry.

260
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.120
Talk to me.

261
00:20:40.120 --> 00:20:40.840
What would you do?

262
00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:42.040
Can I speak out loud to this?

263
00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:44.800
Because this is so crazy that you're talking about this.

264
00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:46.640
Yesterday, I had a discovery call.

265
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.080
And it's a mom who wants me to do financial coaching

266
00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:52.080
for her son, who's like 22.

267
00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:54.840
And she said, you commented on Facebook

268
00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:57.680
that you wanted to help my son a few months ago.

269
00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.280
And so did another guy.

270
00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:00.680
I ended up going with him.

271
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:02.280
But he's not working for my son.

272
00:21:02.280 --> 00:21:03.080
He's too rigid.

273
00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:04.720
So I'd love to hire you.

274
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.880
And so they might hire someone else.

275
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.800
But there's enough opportunity out there for everybody.

276
00:21:09.800 --> 00:21:11.440
There's an abundance of coaches.

277
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.640
So if they hire someone else, great.

278
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.880
Go out and find someone that works for you.

279
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.200
And maybe you'll eventually come back to me.

280
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:20.880
Awesome.

281
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:22.320
Here's some things to think about.

282
00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:25.440
Thank you so much for sharing that.

283
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.720
First thing is stand in your power.

284
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.360
Remember who you are.

285
00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:32.160
Remember what you bring.

286
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.280
And I use the power of questions.

287
00:21:35.280 --> 00:21:37.520
And I said, that's so awesome.

288
00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:41.920
Tell me, I know you needed this and this.

289
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.520
Does this new person provide that?

290
00:21:45.520 --> 00:21:48.880
She kind of went, no.

291
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.600
I know you also are looking for this.

292
00:21:50.600 --> 00:21:53.920
Does this organization you're joining provide that?

293
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.480
No.

294
00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:58.800
She says, I want you to meet.

295
00:21:58.800 --> 00:21:59.280
I want you.

296
00:21:59.280 --> 00:22:00.520
I happen to live in her area.

297
00:22:00.520 --> 00:22:03.640
She says, I want you to come to my house.

298
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:04.880
And I said, OK.

299
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.480
She says, in fact, I want you to meet my mom.

300
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.080
My mom's going to be there too.

301
00:22:10.080 --> 00:22:12.800
She's also a health coach.

302
00:22:12.800 --> 00:22:14.440
Said, OK.

303
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.560
Then you go in with faith and expectation.

304
00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:19.400
You pray for the strategy, and you go in

305
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.680
with faith and expectation.

306
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.680
So I went and I met them.

307
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.520
And I already knew.

308
00:22:25.520 --> 00:22:26.760
I had already seen.

309
00:22:26.760 --> 00:22:28.240
You start with the end in mind.

310
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.520
I'd already seen it.

311
00:22:29.520 --> 00:22:30.760
I'd already visualized it.

312
00:22:30.760 --> 00:22:31.960
I knew where it was going.

313
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.480
If you don't know where you're going,

314
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.160
don't expect them to know where you're going.

315
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.040
So by faith, I already knew where it was going.

316
00:22:39.040 --> 00:22:42.720
And I also believe strongly in irresistible offers.

317
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.960
So at the time, I was only offering,

318
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:46.760
this was a number of years ago, I was only

319
00:22:46.760 --> 00:22:48.000
offering one year coaching.

320
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.800
I didn't have smaller packages.

321
00:22:49.800 --> 00:22:52.200
And it was $15,000 for the year.

322
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.680
And so I thought to myself, I'm going

323
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.320
to give the second person $5,000 off, $10,000,

324
00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:01.800
so $25,000 for the two of them.

325
00:23:01.800 --> 00:23:04.760
They can break it up however they want.

326
00:23:04.760 --> 00:23:05.880
I went.

327
00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:10.600
I walked away with checks for $25,000.

328
00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:12.280
I could have just said, oh, great.

329
00:23:12.280 --> 00:23:13.000
I bless you.

330
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.840
Let's stay in touch.

331
00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:16.800
But I did not.

332
00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:21.760
So this is so important that you don't let up.

333
00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:26.240
I had someone yesterday that I've always wondered.

334
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:29.880
She hasn't, that I'm aware of, showed up at things.

335
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:31.920
But she's been a Prosper Leader member.

336
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:33.800
And I've tried to stay in touch.

337
00:23:33.800 --> 00:23:36.240
And she came in, not at the discounted level.

338
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:37.880
It's $197 a month.

339
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.200
And she's paid that for a long time.

340
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:46.240
And she said, I want to cancel my membership.

341
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.240
And I said, I get it.

342
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.160
I said, you'll be really missed.

343
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:51.600
I said, I'd love to learn more.

344
00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:53.400
What did you love about the membership?

345
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:54.880
What would you have liked to see?

346
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.960
What was missing?

347
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.720
This is always an opportunity to get better

348
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.360
and to learn about them.

349
00:24:01.360 --> 00:24:05.000
And she says, well, actually, I got it from my business

350
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:05.800
partner.

351
00:24:05.800 --> 00:24:09.160
But now her daughter is really going through stuff.

352
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.040
And so she's not able to use it.

353
00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:16.800
And she said, I'll probably come back another time.

354
00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:19.200
And I said, that's awesome.

355
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.880
I said, you may not be aware that you get weekly office

356
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:23.560
hours.

357
00:24:23.560 --> 00:24:26.240
You get twice a month group coaching.

358
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.320
You get access to the courses.

359
00:24:28.320 --> 00:24:31.520
I said, tell me what you're interested in.

360
00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:32.840
I'd love to have you come back.

361
00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:34.760
And I said, tell me what you're interested in.

362
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:37.240
I'll make sure I guide you in the right direction.

363
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:43.240
And I said, what if I offered you the discounted membership

364
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:44.960
to come back?

365
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.880
And I said, if you do that before the 30th,

366
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.200
I'll give it to you at that.

367
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.160
And that'll save you $100 a month.

368
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.440
And she said, I'm interested in that.

369
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:56.800
I'll get back to you.

370
00:24:56.800 --> 00:25:01.360
So my point is, use every opportunity.

371
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.280
opportunity to serve, to find out where they are, what's working, what's not working,

372
00:25:07.280 --> 00:25:13.840
how can you up-level, how can you make an irresistible offer, okay? So let me just see

373
00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:20.880
what else. Misunderstood the situation. I thought this was a coach I'd be hiring. That changed.

374
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:29.760
Oh, okay, yeah. I would feel a bit let down. Things happened, though, wasn't meant to be.

375
00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:37.680
So be careful about writing things off and saying it wasn't meant to be. This is a kind

376
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:45.680
of a misnomer in the coaching space and I think in the Christian space. So let's just think about

377
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.680
life and the resistance in life. You know, I'm writing my book right now and often you guys hear

378
00:25:51.680 --> 00:26:01.360
me use the analogy of going from Egypt and from slavery to the promised land. It was an 11-day

379
00:26:01.360 --> 00:26:07.600
journey. It took 40 years. Does that mean that they were not supposed to go to the promised land?

380
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:13.280
It just wasn't meant to be. I mean, anything that hard. Obviously, God didn't want them to

381
00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:19.280
go to the promised land, right? Something that hard? Or was there refining of character? Was

382
00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:25.440
there discipline? Was there lessons? Was there breaking free of ego? Was it renewing the mind

383
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.520
that we're going, oh, I guess if it's that hard, it's just not meant to be. I see too many people

384
00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:37.600
giving up with that crazy idea that it's too hard. You know, Paul was called to bring the gospel

385
00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:46.000
and build churches all over the world. But he faced shipwreck and he faced, you know,

386
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:51.520
being beaten and jailed. He faced being bitten by a snake. Was he not supposed to bring? I mean,

387
00:26:51.520 --> 00:26:55.440
did God really not want him? I mean, it's that hard. I guess God didn't really want him.

388
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:03.280
Do you see how that can really know? You walk in faith. You seek God daily and you ask God,

389
00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:10.640
is this for now? Is this what you're calling me to? Which brings me to another really important

390
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:16.560
point. So we talked about consistency. The world right now needs you to be consistent,

391
00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:22.400
consistent in your faith, consistent in showing up, consistent in love. The second thing it needs

392
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:32.720
is for you to be strongly convicted, to have conviction. Faith is both a mixture of conviction,

393
00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:42.240
because the word faith and believe is similar to the word of putting your whole weight on something.

394
00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:49.200
So what, like leaning against a wall, if I have faith in that wall or faith in this chair that

395
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:55.520
is going to hold me, I'm comfortable to put my whole weight. If I have faith that God is working

396
00:27:55.520 --> 00:28:01.280
in and through me, that I have the mind of Christ, that I'm the temple of the spirit,

397
00:28:01.280 --> 00:28:08.800
that I have power and authority. If I have that level of conviction that my life has a meaning

398
00:28:08.800 --> 00:28:14.960
and so does yours, that there is still healing, that there is still transformation, that God has

399
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:27.840
a good path for you. That's faith. How much of that? So are you being influenced by the noise

400
00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:34.640
and the static and the voice, or are you showing up with consistency, with faith and expectation,

401
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:44.720
with hope, with conviction? And that's why you don't waver. You keep coming back even after they

402
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:51.600
say no, even after they say they can't afford it, even after, because you love them enough to take

403
00:28:51.600 --> 00:29:00.240
them all the way. You find a way to help them get, you know, their, the call on their life, their goals,

404
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:05.920
their dreams, their desires, because you've done, I've taught you in the sales mountain, you've built

405
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:12.160
rapport, you've asked a lot of questions, you've come to understand the gaps, where they need support,

406
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:19.120
how you can help them. You don't let up. You're consistent. So what I want to talk about in that

407
00:29:19.120 --> 00:29:29.040
consistency, in that conviction, in that faith and expectation, how are you doing, and I'd love

408
00:29:29.040 --> 00:29:37.120
you to share honestly, how are you doing of consistently showing up, number one, and number two,

409
00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:48.240
of vulnerably, transparently, honestly showing up. And in particular, when we're dealing with

410
00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:54.960
information and AI, we're going to use AI as a tool to help us be better, to get things done faster,

411
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:59.840
to, I don't care if it's edit, proofread, help you with a word, whatever you need it for, it's

412
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.200
You got a whole staff at the push of a button. That's cool. But it's you that's showing up.

413
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:14.320
It's Christ in you that's showing up. Are you using the power of story? Because this is something

414
00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:24.880
that AI, chat GPT, all the different AIs kind of suck at. I have used it to help me get feedback

415
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:30.400
on my book and look at what areas I could clean up grammatically or anything. And you know what

416
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:37.680
it'll do? Because it doesn't have art. It doesn't have the spirit of God. It will strip out story

417
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:46.320
and stick to information. In fact, it will often strip out the sensory details. It doesn't get

418
00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:53.360
that yet unless you train it. You've got to pull that back in and you have to train it. Do not

419
00:30:53.360 --> 00:31:01.040
leave out storytelling. Do not leave out heart engaging. Do not leave out. And we'll do some

420
00:31:01.040 --> 00:31:08.000
more updates because AI is so new right now with all that it offers. So we'll do another training

421
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:15.680
on that. What I want to know is, are you using story powerfully? Are you doing your miracle hour?

422
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:23.760
Are you showing up every day? Are you posting valuable content? And is it rich with story?

423
00:31:25.040 --> 00:31:30.400
That's what I want to know. How are you doing with that? Do you need support on that? Or how are you

424
00:31:31.040 --> 00:31:35.360
doing? So let me just see what some of you guys are writing here so that I really help you.

425
00:31:36.320 --> 00:31:50.080
Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I love that. Karen God didn't pull me out of the gutter to leave me

426
00:31:50.080 --> 00:31:57.120
sitting on the curb. Okay. I'm blogging every Sunday morning. Good. Doing follow-up on social.

427
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:05.360
Good. I buried my soul a couple of weeks ago. Good. My rock bottom. That guy. Biggest response.

428
00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:09.840
It will. It will. It will. It will. I'm telling you. That's when you become a real person and

429
00:32:09.840 --> 00:32:15.200
you're not AI. That's where their heart opens up. That's where they connect. That's exactly what I'm

430
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:21.680
trying to say. Congratulations. I do a weekly newsletter. Make sure a great portion of that

431
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:27.840
is story. Yours, your clients. If you can make your clients, your heroes, tell their stories.

432
00:32:27.840 --> 00:32:36.000
Amazing. Okay. Who has questions about how you're showing up for impact? How are you using story?

433
00:32:37.760 --> 00:32:43.360
How are you connecting with your audience? Give me a little pulse. Where are you feeling stuck?

434
00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:49.280
Where is it working? Let's celebrate your successes. This is a time right now when the world

435
00:32:49.280 --> 00:32:55.200
is feeling so paralyzed and so confused. This is a time to show up with your story.

436
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:01.760
With your story. You know, the Bible says we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word

437
00:33:01.760 --> 00:33:10.720
of our testimony. Yeah. That's how we overcome. Okay. You guys have some great stories. I'm going

438
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:15.600
back in. My book goes to the publisher at the end of this month and I'm going back in and adding even

439
00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:23.040
more stories. And some of them are humorous, but they just let people connect with you as a real

440
00:33:23.040 --> 00:33:29.440
person. Super important. I've got things to share and teach to help you grow your business, but

441
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:38.000
the process of us connecting human to human. Okay. Give me some feedback on that. How are you doing

442
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:44.000
at showing up with faith and expectation? How's your consistency level? And how are you doing

443
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:54.400
at showing up with story? I would love to hear visibility. It's right now. It's about visibility.

444
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:04.960
And how are you doing at making offers? How are you doing? Are you inviting them to your

445
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:09.920
newsletter? Are you inviting them to your free, your lead magnet? Are you inviting them to your

446
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:15.120
longer content? Are you inviting them to your launch? Are you inviting them to book a call?

447
00:34:15.120 --> 00:34:22.000
How are you doing? Okay. Linda's helped me show up consistently with her amazing VA services. Yay,

448
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:28.480
Linda. Yes, yes, yes. That makes a big difference. Each of us in our gifts. This is God

449
00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:35.120
bringing us all together in our gifts. Hey, talk to me. How are you doing at showing up

450
00:34:35.120 --> 00:34:41.360
vulnerability consistently with faith? Where do you feel stuck and struggling? Where do you feel

451
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:46.400
like you got it? Okay, Charlotte, go ahead. Well, you know, I've not very, I've not been

452
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:53.280
consistent and been in action until recently. I'm going to shift my words, but I made. I love that.

453
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.960
Yes. I haven't been consistent yet. I haven't accomplished it yet. Just put that one word at

454
00:34:58.960 --> 00:34:59.760
the end.

455
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:17.000
And I didn't make even seen that little sheriff in town video I silly one I had made, and I read, did it yesterday, and it took me literally hours I could not get it edited just I mean it's only five minutes or six minutes but anyway, I finally got it up.

456
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:24.000
And, and I think one of the few things that I.

457
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:41.000
I don't I at the end of like this is what I want you to do clear clear call to action. Good. I kind of said that and video and I'm like, but I call it a silly and serious video because it's about a serious subject but it's being silly and my cowboy hat.

458
00:35:41.000 --> 00:36:00.000
Nice, nice I saw it and of course I gave you feedback and I can't wait to see the new one. And congratulations taking action and constant never ending improvement willing to make it better as you go but you keep moving forward you keep showing it you don't have to show up perfectly.

459
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:08.000
But you do, you do show up so congratulations on that. I love that. Let's, let's give Charla.

460
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:21.000
Now, it was real cute she had a pink cowboy hat on I had it on yeah I had the pink cowboy had the new sheriff in town about the Omega oils and stuff and I was like, you know, but, but the new one has the background correct and a little bit.

461
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:38.000
Good you made the changes I suggested that's awesome. Some of you need to be aware of that. Um, she did something that you know it's very easy to do when you're filming and making your video you've got to make sure that you use the mirror image so that when it's all done it doesn't

462
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:47.000
have all your books and everything backwards behind you because that can be really, really zoom zoom must changed a lot of settings because it had been set.

463
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:54.000
I'd never had a problem with it and all of a sudden, you know, or you may want to settings got changed.

464
00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:00.000
It could it could have been set or you may not have noticed it's not things that that normally we don't, we don't think about.

465
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:05.000
Okay, so are you using story.

466
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:21.000
And are you using rich sensory details like you don't just tell this and this and this happened, but you describe what you were feeling what you were thinking you include some dialogue.

467
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:42.000
You include like what it was like, I don't care if it's the weather or the description of the place or the description of the person. Are you using some good, good writing that way to get your message out in a way that people want to read it all.

468
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.000
How are you doing on that.

469
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:49.000
I'm learning Brenda. I am growing in that.

470
00:37:49.000 --> 00:38:10.000
My tendency is just to not feel skilled in that yet so I, I have to be very conscious I'm in that conscious incompetence, moving into developing the habit of bringing story it's easier for me to do stories about clients.

471
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:15.000
Yeah, then it is to do stories about me. Yeah.

472
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:29.000
There's a lot of hats that I wear sometimes and I think, I don't know if I want these people over here to hear this story or this, because there's like I've been in different circles.

473
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:50.000
And so that's exactly well but it's the process of working, working. And so, yeah, I've got growth in consistency because I feel like I'm consistent in certain areas but not consistent with showing up on putting out on social media.

474
00:38:51.000 --> 00:39:05.000
This is the story, it feels like every time I say okay now I'm going to be consistent then I get a bomb somewhere and it throws me off and then I'm like, what's the point and so then I have to start over and, yes, I'm.

475
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:11.000
Yeah, I appreciate that I appreciate I appreciate your honesty and you're not alone in that.

476
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:31.000
If, if something takes you off course you just get right back on next time. So the things that will make this easier for you. Number one, if you can choose the same time each day to do it like it's on your calendar in the same way.

477
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:46.000
I bet if you had a dentist appointment a bomb wouldn't go off, you'd probably make it to the dentist appointment. This is your appointment with your ideal client. This is your appointment with God to show up through you and touch lives and bring transformation.

478
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:57.000
So treating your appointments, which includes your appointment to your business. This ability is the single most important thing that you can possibly do.

479
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:00.000
So, you know, I want to congratulate you. I've seen you come a long way.

480
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.800
long way. You're showing up more and more and more. You're having success. And I know this

481
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:13.120
doesn't come easy for you. I know you're introverted often. And yet, you're so pregnant

482
00:40:13.120 --> 00:40:22.480
with richness. You're so pregnant with transformational understanding, with love,

483
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:33.360
with faith, with experiences. And so I would say, treat your appointment to do this. It's

484
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:38.720
on the calendar. And you treat it with the same way that you would a doctor or a lawyer or whatever

485
00:40:38.720 --> 00:40:46.080
you go to appointment. Because we think, oh, this is not important. I got to go do that.

486
00:40:47.040 --> 00:40:52.560
But would you do it if you had, let's say you have, and look at it this way, look at it like

487
00:40:52.560 --> 00:40:59.120
you have an appointment that you gave a deposit, $1,000 to have this appointment. Let's say it's

488
00:40:59.120 --> 00:41:04.640
a top skilled, I don't care, makeup, something, doctor, lawyer, copywriter, whatever, artist,

489
00:41:04.640 --> 00:41:14.160
photographer, you paid $1,000 for this appointment on your calendar. How easily would something take

490
00:41:14.240 --> 00:41:20.960
you off course? And yet the truth of doing this has so many thousands of dollars, and even more

491
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:28.000
so, so much impact for the kingdom of God. Right now, the world needs consistency. And so I want

492
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:33.360
to encourage you that this week, if you're thinking about anything, it's about this

493
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:42.160
consistency. It's about visibility and bringing the stories. So the things that will help you,

494
00:41:42.160 --> 00:41:51.360
Lois, is same time, creating a new habit, making it non-negotiable as if you'd spend $1,000 for

495
00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:57.200
this appointment, putting yourself and doing this and your business first. The other thing that will

496
00:41:57.200 --> 00:42:02.720
help you all that I encourage you is that you have a story bank. Because you're going all about

497
00:42:02.720 --> 00:42:06.720
during the day, and then you just get reminded of stories. And the more that you do this,

498
00:42:06.720 --> 00:42:11.360
the more you're going to get reminded of stories. Like I got reminded of a childhood story that I

499
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:16.560
thought, oh, that's so perfect for my book. And, you know, so constantly add stories so that when you

500
00:42:16.560 --> 00:42:21.280
get ready to write anything, you look at the story bank and you go, oh, which story would be really

501
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:25.840
good for this? Because any story could be used a thousand different ways. Could be a story about

502
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:32.560
your dog, about your kid, about you, about a client. It can be used to have a different lesson.

503
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:39.840
Okay, but having that story bank will also speed you up greatly. All right, Lois, I want to give

504
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:44.560
you a snap though. Just showing up. You're here. You just spoke up. I know that's not your favorite

505
00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:50.320
thing to do. I honor you. I love what you're doing. You got so much to give. Keep going. I would say

506
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:58.480
Galatians 6.9. Do not grow weary in doing good, for it's such a time we will reap a harvest if we do not

507
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:04.160
give up. Okay, that's your verse. Galatians 6.9. Don't grow weary. Just keep going, keep going,

508
00:43:04.160 --> 00:43:10.720
keep going. It's all of our verse. Linda, did you raise your hand? No, well, no, but I was just like,

509
00:43:10.720 --> 00:43:16.240
as you were talking to Lois, are we talking live videos or can she do like on a day where

510
00:43:16.240 --> 00:43:21.200
she's really on a roll? Can she do several at a time and then absolutely spot them waiting in the

511
00:43:21.200 --> 00:43:29.200
wings? Absolutely. And there needs to be a mixture. And so there's a mixture of, remember, people

512
00:43:29.200 --> 00:43:38.160
have different sensory learning preferences. Some people, they love the written word. Some people

513
00:43:38.160 --> 00:43:43.360
need to watch a video, which is more people than reading these days. Some people need to interact

514
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:51.200
and like touch it and feel it. So you want to mix your medium. Don't paint your house all white.

515
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:58.080
Yeah, I was also taught a long time ago, if your day blows up and you

516
00:43:58.080 --> 00:44:04.480
don't have time, just use some of the other people's stuff in your story.

517
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:08.400
You get the cool little videos or whatever, share them.

518
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:14.160
And that way you're still showing up because there's something on your page that

519
00:44:14.160 --> 00:44:20.240
they have to look forward to or whatever. Love that. Love that. Thank you, Linda. Thank you.

520
00:44:21.200 --> 00:44:29.920
Okay. Did I see someone else raised their hand there? Okay. I would say

521
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:38.800
right now is a time to keep your business really simple.

522
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:48.800
This is really keep your business and your life really, really simple. I read a quote,

523
00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:59.360
I pulled it out here and it was really good. And it's exactly about this.

524
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:16.640
Don't get so busy running your business that you fail to build the business and this steals

525
00:45:16.640 --> 00:45:17.640
your life.

526
00:45:17.640 --> 00:45:19.640
Let that sink in.

527
00:45:19.640 --> 00:45:31.780
Don't get so busy running the business that you fail to build the business and this steals

528
00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:32.780
your life.

529
00:45:32.780 --> 00:45:37.480
So, I want you to, again, I've had you many times on a regular basis do a time study.

530
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.960
Just carry a piece of paper around, write down what you do every half an hour.

531
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.600
At the end of that day, look at it and see where are the gaps.

532
00:45:44.600 --> 00:45:49.600
What are you doing that truly is maybe urgent but not?

533
00:45:49.600 --> 00:45:56.520
Moving you forward and so I used to do this in network marketing and I want you to kind

534
00:45:56.520 --> 00:46:01.160
of apply a network marketing principle to your coaching business.

535
00:46:01.160 --> 00:46:06.000
In network marketing, I used to say you really only have like three things.

536
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.800
You're telling people about a product.

537
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:14.600
You're telling people about an opportunity and you're training a team to be able to do

538
00:46:14.600 --> 00:46:16.720
the same thing.

539
00:46:16.720 --> 00:46:18.040
That's called keeping it simple.

540
00:46:18.040 --> 00:46:23.600
So, you just go, okay, in all this activity that I'm doing, am I talking about the product?

541
00:46:23.600 --> 00:46:25.720
Am I talking about the opportunity?

542
00:46:25.720 --> 00:46:28.600
Am I raising up leaders?

543
00:46:28.600 --> 00:46:30.800
The same thing is for your coaching business.

544
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:32.320
It's pretty basic.

545
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:35.760
Are you bringing in new clients?

546
00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.960
Are you serving those clients?

547
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:47.520
And are you following up to help them get the transformation that you're called to bring

548
00:46:47.600 --> 00:46:49.960
to advance the kingdom of God?

549
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:55.880
If you can keep it that simple and then look at all the stuff, go back to what I've taught

550
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:56.880
you.

551
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:58.480
10x is easier than 2x.

552
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.320
Go back to what I've taught you.

553
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:04.480
What is the 20% in your business that's making 80% of the difference?

554
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:11.320
I can tell you right now, the 20% is showing up and following up, showing up with consistency

555
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:12.760
and following up.

556
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.480
There's a lot of things you can drop through the cracks.

557
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:19.240
Those two things you can't right now.

558
00:47:19.240 --> 00:47:22.280
So hopefully that helps you.

559
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:23.840
This is an exciting season.

560
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:31.720
I really feel right now that God is bringing all of you to this place of all of your experience,

561
00:47:31.720 --> 00:47:37.200
all of your pain, all your sorrow, all your gifting, all your frustrations, like all of

562
00:47:37.200 --> 00:47:43.920
that that has made you, you, he's calling you to offer that right now, Romans 12.

563
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:45.760
Offer that as a living sacrifice.

564
00:47:46.040 --> 00:47:48.760
Offer that to God for the kingdom.

565
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:52.440
And this is the season for that.

566
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:54.960
It matters so much.

567
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:59.480
The hope that you bring, the encouragement that you bring, the example that you bring,

568
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:05.640
the faith that you bring, the tools that you bring, the gifts that you bring, the just

569
00:48:05.640 --> 00:48:09.600
like Barbara, just the straight connection that you bring.

570
00:48:09.600 --> 00:48:11.720
That's no accident.

571
00:48:11.720 --> 00:48:13.120
That's no accident.

572
00:48:13.120 --> 00:48:20.560
God is like divinely connecting you and we have to be awake and aware of those connections,

573
00:48:20.560 --> 00:48:21.560
right?

574
00:48:21.560 --> 00:48:22.560
Okay.

575
00:48:22.560 --> 00:48:25.040
I pray that's encouraged you all.

576
00:48:25.040 --> 00:48:26.120
I love you.

577
00:48:26.120 --> 00:48:27.120
Keep going.

578
00:48:27.120 --> 00:48:29.120
I'm loving the successes.

579
00:48:29.120 --> 00:48:30.120
Congratulations.

580
00:48:30.120 --> 00:48:31.120
Congratulations.

581
00:48:31.120 --> 00:48:35.000
I see you all moving forward, doing so much.

582
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:41.520
I know Bev is muted and everything, but I know she's getting ready to do live events.

583
00:48:42.080 --> 00:48:43.800
I'm super excited for her.

584
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:47.040
She's booked a couple of them a month in facilities.

585
00:48:47.040 --> 00:48:49.240
So excited to see that.

586
00:48:49.240 --> 00:48:53.880
Sharla is doing a couple of ventures and she's-

587
00:48:53.880 --> 00:49:01.200
I have, yeah, if you're in DFW, Barbara, I'm having an event at my house on the 26th.

588
00:49:01.200 --> 00:49:04.560
And so I'm re-entering the social world a little bit.

589
00:49:04.560 --> 00:49:05.560
Love it.

590
00:49:05.560 --> 00:49:06.560
Love it.

591
00:49:06.560 --> 00:49:07.560
So congratulations.

592
00:49:07.560 --> 00:49:11.040
This is the time to show up live, okay?

593
00:49:11.040 --> 00:49:13.280
Show up the real you, okay?

594
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:14.280
So congratulations.

595
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.920
Barbara, I pray for your appointment today.

596
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:23.360
I just pray that just the spirit just floods and that miracles come from this connection.

597
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:26.600
Karen, super excited for your speaking engagement.

598
00:49:26.600 --> 00:49:34.000
Super excited for the launch of Women in the Rooms and to each and every one of you, I

599
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:35.000
love you.

600
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:36.000
We'll see you next time.

601
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:36.000
