54 00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:29.340 We tend to be on one side or the other. 55 00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:37.820 There's the really faith-based people that are truly living and walking by faith and 56 00:03:37.820 --> 00:03:43.020 they're living on prayers and they're standing on promises and they're like, God, you know, 57 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:43.520 help me. 58 00:03:43.540 --> 00:03:46.140 And they're just totally walking that way. 59 00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:48.240 That's the heaven. 60 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:54.460 They're lacking the earth, the clarity, the systems, the structure. 61 00:03:55.980 --> 00:03:59.620 And this throughout scripture goes together, faith and works. 62 00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:05.660 You see this combination, love expressing itself through faith, action. 63 00:04:06.220 --> 00:04:09.120 So we've got this heaven and we've got earth. 64 00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:15.340 So what I realized in the last few calls that I did is that many people are struggling in 65 00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:22.060 the heaven side, meaning that their prayers have become, I call them foxhole prayers. 66 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:24.640 They become very superficial. 67 00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:27.600 Lord, please just be with my kids. 68 00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:28.960 Please keep me safe driving. 69 00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:30.280 Please bless my food. 70 00:04:30.340 --> 00:04:31.740 God, I need help financially. 71 00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:32.980 Please heal my body. 72 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.220 Please heal this person. 73 00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:42.560 They've just been these kind of foxhole prayers and not intimate relationship prayers that 74 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:49.060 are both speaking and listening, not mountain moving faith with expectation and certainty 75 00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:49.620 prayers. 76 00:04:50.940 --> 00:04:58.640 And then what I saw is that they're not standing on the word, both the promises and the principles. 77 00:04:58.760 --> 00:04:59.980 They know a few. 78 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.820 promises that they can say off the top of their head, but overall, can they just cover to cover, 79 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:12.460 stand on a specific promise for what God is doing in them right then? Most people know. 80 00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:22.020 And then principle, most are not understanding, like their faith has been separated. Heaven and 81 00:05:22.020 --> 00:05:27.180 earth has been separated. Their faith has been separated from the practical aspects of building 82 00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:35.600 their business. And so God said, bring back to heaven, keep the earth. I mean, this is my 83 00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:45.560 strength of equipping people to build profitable faith integrated businesses. All right, partnering 84 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:52.500 with God in business with a system and a structure, with the prayer, the promises, the practical. 85 00:05:52.500 --> 00:06:00.160 So the way that I'm doing that in the prosper leader membership right now, and I'm offering 86 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:07.520 a founder's member pricing right now, you guys have that at 99 a month instead of 197, 87 00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:14.140 which is the normal price. So this is a wonderful time as we launch into this people, you know, 88 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.500 that are struggling on one side or both. They're struggling in their faith. They're going through 89 00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:25.740 so much and they feel beaten up. They feel, you know, what the media they're discouraged by what's 90 00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:32.820 going on in life. And they're not knowing how to live this victorious, this sense of certainty, 91 00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:40.620 this sense of power it's missing. Okay. And so every Wednesday, 8 a.m., the prosper power hour, 92 00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:45.420 that's part of the prosper leader membership. I'm just bundling it. And then every Thursday 93 00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:51.760 office hours, that's designed, although I often bring faith things, but that's designed to be 94 00:06:52.260 --> 00:06:59.920 the earth side of things. The, hey, I'm struggling to get leads, or I'm struggling with follow-up, 95 00:07:00.020 --> 00:07:06.100 or I don't have a clear system, or I don't really know my niche, or I don't know how to scale, 96 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:13.720 or my marketing's not working, or whatever it is, this is the place so that we've got that. 97 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:20.760 So I want to encourage all of you to take part. The first one, first prosper power hour, 98 00:07:20.760 --> 00:07:26.580 we did the 1010. I did a kind of a premiere so people could experience it. If you haven't gotten 99 00:07:26.700 --> 00:07:33.460 that, I'll send you the recording, let me know. But we'll be doing it every Wednesday, starting 100 00:07:33.820 --> 00:07:41.200 October 29th, and then every Thursday for office hours. Is that clear? You guys see how that's 101 00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:50.720 together? Okay, wonderful. So this being office hours, I've got things to share, but always I 102 00:07:50.720 --> 00:08:00.980 open it for you first and raise your hand. There's a little virtual hand or a wave that I see you, 103 00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:10.520 what you'd like to talk about in your business. And until I see you raising your hand, 104 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:20.240 okay, there we go. Genevieve, go ahead. Let me bring you where I can see you. Give me one second. 105 00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:29.140 Okay, awesome. Brenda, can I ask a question about, well maybe if I just gave you a little 106 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:36.039 context. My business is wonderful right now. I'm about to start a new business in the new year, 107 00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:41.000 kind of getting ready for that. But one thing that's always been extremely important to me, 108 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.420 and where I've really been able to live out my passion, and I felt very strongly, it's always 109 00:08:45.420 --> 00:08:50.580 been part of my purpose, is through community service. I've gotten to a point where I actually 110 00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:56.520 started a foundation years ago, and I loved it so, so much. It was like all-consuming, 111 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.880 as it should have been at the time. I felt like that really was what I was supposed to be doing. 112 00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:06.480 And then I've since moved on from there, and I've gotten involved in other boards in the community, 113 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:14.140 and always loved it. And I'm part of one right now where it's a little different. And the reason 114 00:09:14.140 --> 00:09:19.800 why I'm bringing this up is because, I just don't know if you have any advice for others too, 115 00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:27.740 in terms of how to balance your time. And I do feel like my business is part of my soul's purpose 116 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:32.320 too, and really where I should be focused right now. I think there's a little part of me that's 117 00:09:32.420 --> 00:09:37.900 to let go, because the community involvement has always been so important again. And I guess, 118 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.640 I know you always should choose love versus fear. I think I have to trust that if I do let go of it 119 00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:48.500 for now, there'll always be another opportunity in the future. Help me be clear, what are you 120 00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:53.500 letting go of, of time in business, or in this community service? Well, the community service 121 00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:57.860 part, letting go of the community service, so I can really focus on the business. Okay, gotcha. 122 00:09:57.860 --> 00:09:59.600 Something new. Okay. 123 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.060 But I'm not sure what to do. 124 00:10:03.180 --> 00:10:05.120 Our board in this one nonprofit, it's 125 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.740 really kind of taken on a life of its own. 126 00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:07.940 It has a beautiful purpose. 127 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:11.040 And I've always wanted to be more involved, to be honest, 128 00:10:11.060 --> 00:10:13.180 in the day-to-day programming of this and that. 129 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.040 And now that's where the shift has moved to. 130 00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:17.580 Like, I could be doing that. 131 00:10:17.660 --> 00:10:20.140 But my concern is now is, oh my gosh, though, 132 00:10:20.140 --> 00:10:22.560 if I start doing that, I really need 133 00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:24.120 to stay focused on the business. 134 00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:26.060 Yeah, yeah. 135 00:10:26.060 --> 00:10:34.620 So in my perspective, I mean, the only difference, 136 00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:37.520 when it comes, you know that I have shared 137 00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:42.480 that the word for work in the Bible 138 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:48.440 is the same as worth as well as worship, right? 139 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.360 And so when we offer, whether it be in the nonprofit 140 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:00.980 or in the business, it's one and the same for the Lord 141 00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:02.720 when we're coming from a heart of love 142 00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.340 and a heart of serving, right? 143 00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:11.360 So that same that we don't separate work and church, 144 00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:17.020 right, so where it gets sticky, per se, 145 00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:22.540 is when we're concerned about sustaining 146 00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:28.240 the responsibility of the business to steward it, right? 147 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.540 Everything, and when we have a business, 148 00:11:32.920 --> 00:11:35.860 part of this doing everything as unto the Lord 149 00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:41.220 is throughout scripture is about being a wise steward, right? 150 00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:43.000 So what are we stewarding? 151 00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:46.300 Well, we're stewarding our customers or clients. 152 00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:48.760 Are they getting the best? 153 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:54.840 Are, because right now, people and money 154 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.520 go where they're treated best. 155 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.140 So we can't take for granted, right? 156 00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:04.880 So are you staying? 157 00:12:05.380 --> 00:12:07.400 So I would look at it this way. 158 00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:10.320 You've got working in your business, 159 00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:12.980 and you've got working on your business. 160 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.040 One of the things that really gets neglected 161 00:12:17.040 --> 00:12:18.660 that has a huge price tag 162 00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:23.020 is neglecting working on your business, okay? 163 00:12:23.020 --> 00:12:26.120 So we get so busy working in our business, 164 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.120 and then things take a shift, 165 00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:32.440 and there is nothing in place, right, to contain that. 166 00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:36.100 So stewarding the business is looking at, 167 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.880 are you giving yourself, okay, 168 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.160 and stewarding your business is also meaning 169 00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:45.440 stewarding you as the leader of that business, 170 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.400 meaning that you have rest, you're prayed up, 171 00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:51.200 you're prepped up, right? 172 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:52.780 You're not running on empty 173 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.860 because that's a deficit to the business 174 00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:58.120 if you're the one leading, right? 175 00:12:58.180 --> 00:13:01.080 So that's part of the time is, 176 00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:03.080 is there margin in your business 177 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.480 or are you just frantically running, right? 178 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.080 That's first thing I would look at. 179 00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:11.560 And so in that margin is the partnering with God 180 00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:15.620 as to, Lord, talk to me about this next season. 181 00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:20.020 That's where ideas from heaven and innovation come in. 182 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.040 Talk to me about my clients, right? 183 00:13:23.180 --> 00:13:26.300 That's where new levels of relationship 184 00:13:26.300 --> 00:13:28.160 and connection come in 185 00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:31.680 so that you're stewarding yourself as the leader, 186 00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:34.060 you're stewarding the clients, 187 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.360 you're stewarding the financial stability of the company 188 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.760 that if you have employees or you have contractors 189 00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:46.540 or you have, that's another form of stewardship, right? 190 00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:48.680 And so then you, 191 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.620 if you're going to go and do something over here 192 00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:54.580 in order for the stewardship, 193 00:13:55.160 --> 00:13:56.880 there has to be someone you could trust. 194 00:13:56.880 --> 00:13:59.460 Like you can't just leave a gaping hole. 195 00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:03.180 You can either be raising up somebody, 196 00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:07.020 volunteer, employee, contractor to hold that, 197 00:14:07.020 --> 00:14:07.820 which is healthy. 198 00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:09.260 That's scaling. 199 00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:13.000 And then be able to do this, right?

248 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:26.760 And so that includes looking at both the spiritual dynamic 249 00:16:26.760 --> 00:16:30.720 of it and the role that they play, 250 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.140 why their role is so important. 251 00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:34.800 OK? 252 00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:38.820 So that you're not just hiring people 253 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.500 that see themselves as just doing tasks, 254 00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:43.660 checking off lists. 255 00:16:44.900 --> 00:16:48.280 Because that just becomes another job for you. 256 00:16:48.280 --> 00:16:50.700 Managing them almost becomes harder sometimes 257 00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:52.500 if they're checking off lists and waiting 258 00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:54.020 for you to solve problems. 259 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.140 And they're not being creative. 260 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.560 And they're not part of expansion and solutions. 261 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.120 That's all on you in the onboarding. 262 00:17:03.760 --> 00:17:07.079 So I want you to look at when you bring on 263 00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:10.319 that you're bringing them on with the right mindset 264 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.000 and the right skill set and with clarity. 265 00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:16.619 And then the stewardship of it initially 266 00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:20.440 is that you inspect what you expect. 267 00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:21.500 268 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:27.040 When we don't, Lord have mercy, even with contracting, 269 00:17:28.780 --> 00:17:30.580 we get busy and we trust that people 270 00:17:30.580 --> 00:17:34.120 are going to do what they say they're doing. 271 00:17:35.580 --> 00:17:38.360 And there's just so many messes. 272 00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:41.940 I was just speaking up at the Reno women's tapestry. 273 00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:46.800 And a woman is spending almost full time 274 00:17:46.860 --> 00:17:49.560 helping a business owner clean up the mess 275 00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:54.460 from trusting operational manager 276 00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:56.740 to be doing what she said she would do. 277 00:17:57.020 --> 00:17:58.980 And none of it was done. 278 00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:02.480 There was probably $100,000 in money that wasn't collected. 279 00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:04.020 It wasn't billed. 280 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.160 There was like, I mean, they weren't paying their supply. 281 00:18:07.340 --> 00:18:09.840 Like she's full time just cleaning up 282 00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:11.080 the mess of trusting. 283 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.400 And on a small scale, 284 00:18:15.340 --> 00:18:20.520 I trusted somebody as an SEO from my YouTube. 285 00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:24.860 And it looked on the surface glancing 286 00:18:24.860 --> 00:18:26.660 like they're really helping me. 287 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.640 Oh, wow, the views. 288 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.300 Yeah, they're definitely going way up. 289 00:18:29.560 --> 00:18:30.780 Everything's looking really good. 290 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.360 And so I'm sending money 291 00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:36.360 and I'm not having time to inspect what I expect. 292 00:18:36.820 --> 00:18:39.220 And I thought, gee, I know better. 293 00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:41.680 Let me go in and inspect what I expect. 294 00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:43.700 So I go into the analytics. 295 00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:48.140 Everybody that has been added, all these numbers, 296 00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:50.420 they're not from America. 297 00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:51.480 They're not English speaking. 298 00:18:51.740 --> 00:18:53.220 They're from Pakistan and Bangladesh. 299 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.700 They're not my ideal client. 300 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.060 So I basically just paid to fill my YouTube 301 00:18:58.060 --> 00:19:01.480 with false numbers, not knowingly because I didn't. 302 00:19:01.860 --> 00:19:03.000 So this happens to all of us. 303 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.380 It happens to the best of us, okay? 304 00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.660 And so I can tell you just this is, 305 00:19:08.300 --> 00:19:11.420 in Reno, this is a live physical person right here. 306 00:19:12.060 --> 00:19:14.020 I'm giving you an example when you hire 307 00:19:14.020 --> 00:19:16.220 and you trust people to do what they say 308 00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:18.380 that they're going to do, right? 309 00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:22.240 And right now there's just so many desperate people 310 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.220 doing desperate things. 311 00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:25.640 There's so many shams and scams. 312 00:19:26.420 --> 00:19:27.840 So God will bring you. 313 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:31.500 So it's a prayerful thing to bring someone. 314 00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:35.120 It's like bringing someone into your home, okay? 315 00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:37.340 And it's a prayerful thing to bring. 316 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.680 And you want this to be a beautiful thing 317 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.020 that raises them up, 318 00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:44.820 that they can keep getting higher and higher, 319 00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:45.820 which helps everybody. 320 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.180 You, your business, your clients, right? 321 00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:50.980 Which is all on you on how well you're training 322 00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:52.280 and stewarding them, 323 00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:56.960 as well as making sure you have the right fit, okay? 324 00:19:57.060 --> 00:19:59.100 So that's the first thing that I would say. 325 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.980 The thing is that I love, probably my favorite thing 326 00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:07.680 about the book, Bigger Than You, is to make 327 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.940 every seat a profit seat. 328 00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:14.940 Now, this was really eye-opening for me 329 00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:18.900 because what most entrepreneurs do 330 00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:23.360 is they hire to relieve themselves of tasks. 331 00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:26.900 So they take this group of tasks, hand it over there. 332 00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:30.920 But there's not additional profit from that. 333 00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:34.000 So now, how does this person get paid? 334 00:20:34.100 --> 00:20:35.120 From your lunch money. 335 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:38.540 You're taking your salary to carry. 336 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.860 So now, pretty soon, you become a slave to payroll 337 00:20:41.860 --> 00:20:44.500 to pay the people you brought on 338 00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:46.860 because you didn't set the expectation, 339 00:20:47.040 --> 00:20:49.280 nor the system, nor the strategy 340 00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:52.540 to raise them up to make every seat a profit seat. 341 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.660 Does that make sense? 342 00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:57.380 So that's a different way of looking at it, as well. 343 00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:00.480 And so this would be a really good coaching call. 344 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.280 I'm giving you really broads. 345 00:21:02.800 --> 00:21:07.040 But this would be you and I just doing a little bit of coaching 346 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:09.720 because there's so much. 347 00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:13.400 There is the vision that you paint. 348 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.240 Scripture says, without vision, the people perish. 349 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.500 And it also says, write the vision, 350 00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:25.720 make it plain that those who see it may run with it. 351 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.920 So you have to be very clear on the vision of your company, 352 00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:32.160 not just the tasks. 353 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.560 And you have to communicate that vision 354 00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:39.520 so that who you're drawing is attracted to the vision. 355 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.980 This is a different type of relationship. 356 00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.140 So I have someone I'm onboarding right now 357 00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:49.800 as an executive admin assistant. 358 00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:57.200 And she's worked for top CFOs and CEOs in Silicon Valley. 359 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.020 So the talent is there. 360 00:22:00.020 --> 00:22:03.040 But the first thing I wanted to set 361 00:22:03.040 --> 00:22:07.460 is the importance of the role that she has 362 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.440 in the big context of the vision. 363 00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:16.180 So I'm called to steward my relationships with all of you, 364 00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:17.500 with my coaching clients. 365 00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:21.780 So I'm called to do everything in my power 366 00:22:21.780 --> 00:22:24.780 to help you elevate physically, spiritually, relationally, 367 00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:26.280 and prosper in all things. 368 00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:34.060 And if I'm bogged down with tasks, inbox management, 369 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.560 follow up, all of these type of things, 370 00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:40.080 I'm not able to serve at the level. 371 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:46.140 So I'm letting her know that this is a sacred role 372 00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:47.400 that she's playing. 373 00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:49.980 I don't want her to come in and just think it's task. 374 00:22:50.260 --> 00:22:51.160 OK, I'll manage your inbox. 375 00:22:51.800 --> 00:22:53.660 I'm not looking for a check off. 376 00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:55.480 I'm looking for someone that's on fire 377 00:22:55.820 --> 00:22:59.180 that knows that she's serving you by serving me. 378 00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.240 And she's serving the vision. 379 00:23:01.800 --> 00:23:03.200 So do you feel some of these things? 380 00:23:03.540 --> 00:23:06.840 So it's a bigger dynamic than let me just put somebody 381 00:23:06.840 --> 00:23:09.300 on Indeed or let me just go on Fiverr 382 00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:13.740 and let me go ahead and hire a contractor or an employee. 383 00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:17.760 And when you set it up that way, that's 384 00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:19.260 when I talk about principles. 385 00:23:19.540 --> 00:23:22.020 That's the principles of running a kingdom business. 386 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:28.960 So that when I had my network marketing corporation 387 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.200 and I had dozens and dozens of employees, 388 00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:36.100 it was stewarding their well-being 389 00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.540 was as much responsibility. 390 00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:40.820 So in that case, as a network marketing company, 391 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.700 I had two sets. 392 00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:46.460 I had the distributors that were using the products 393 00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:49.100 and distributing the products, the business builders. 394 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:54.160 And I had the in-house team, all of them, 395 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.860 whether it's web design or accounting 396 00:23:57.260 --> 00:23:59.820 or answering the phone or whatever, 397 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:04.240 we included them in everything that they 398 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.700 could see the vision of how important they 399 00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:08.000 were for serving. 400 00:24:08.580 --> 00:24:11.060 And so our role was to raise them up. 401 00:24:11.060 --> 00:24:14.000 So I had some that I sent for a month 402 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.520 to go get their health in order. 403 00:24:15.580 --> 00:24:17.660 And I sent them to a treatment place 404 00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:18.980 to get their health in order. 405 00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:24.240 I added in-house Bible studies in the office, which later 406 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.020 became a community Bible study. 407 00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:28.800 But I created it for my employees. 408 00:24:29.540 --> 00:24:33.180 And some of them used to say that they 409 00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:35.420 got more from coming to work than going to church. 410 00:24:35.520 --> 00:24:37.360 Now, I'm not putting down church, 411 00:24:37.360 --> 00:24:43.180 but I'm talking about what's known as a sacred commerce. 412 00:24:44.280 --> 00:24:46.480 And so when you start looking at it 413 00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.560 from that perspective of stewarding, 414 00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:53.040 you'll make better choices, and you'll attract better people, 415 00:24:53.260 --> 00:24:57.100 and there's more love, more joy, and it's a kingdom business. 416 00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.860 Does that help? 417 00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.000 I love it. 418 00:24:59.020 --> 00:24:59.560 Absolutely. 419 00:24:59.740 --> 00:24:59.980 Thank you. 420 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.000 so, so much. Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. Can I, can I add to that just a bit? Yeah, please do. 421 00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:13.520 I'm a Zig Ziglar Legacy Certified Trainer. Let me bring you where I can see you. 422 00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:22.120 Where'd you go? There we go. Okay, go ahead. I'm a Zig Ziglar Legacy Certified Trainer and Tom 423 00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:29.260 Ziglar and Cindy and Julie are my friends, the kids of Zig Ziglar. And one of the biggest things 424 00:25:29.260 --> 00:25:37.460 that I've gotten in the, over the last few years from them is bringing, you know, how do you keep 425 00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:42.940 the zombies? You know, they have a picture of a bicycle in the front of 10 seats and three people 426 00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:46.940 are pedaling like crazy. The three, the four middle people are just kind of spinning, you know, 427 00:25:46.980 --> 00:25:53.340 or like coasting and the last are backpedaling with parachutes. Wow. And it's an incredible. 428 00:25:53.340 --> 00:25:59.660 That's quite a visual. I want to see that. I'll find it for you. But, and, and, and then they've 429 00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:04.460 got the zombie mentality, you know, so there's this, this dynamic that you in a business, 430 00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:11.780 you really want to take, you know, be aware of, but what they have determined in, in helping 431 00:26:11.780 --> 00:26:18.940 businesses is find out what your, your dream, their dreams are and help them reach their 432 00:26:19.020 --> 00:26:25.340 dreams, not reach a paycheck. And you may, you may work them at themselves. If their dream 433 00:26:25.340 --> 00:26:30.260 is to own their own business or to travel to somewhere, you may lose them, but you will never 434 00:26:30.260 --> 00:26:36.620 lose their loyalty for reaching their dreams. And the idea of that just feels so beautiful. 435 00:26:36.780 --> 00:26:42.720 Thank you for sharing that. That's so important. Thank you. And one other is I have a good friend 436 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:51.080 named Stacy, right? And she started a company, a business called heart profit. And it's about 437 00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:58.560 running and it's heartprofit.org. And she, it's about running a business to meet the needs of the 438 00:26:58.560 --> 00:27:05.340 community, your internal customer, your community. And in her, she's got a manufacturing of a bricks 439 00:27:05.340 --> 00:27:10.740 and mortar, you know, manufacturing plant. And, and she's like, she's got internal daycare. She's 440 00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:17.320 got a mental health counselors available. I mean, she's just covering a lot of the basis of what 441 00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:25.620 people are struggling with right now. You know, meals and different things. So you can, if you go 442 00:27:25.620 --> 00:27:30.140 take a look at heartprofit.org and reach out to Stacy or reach out to me and I'll, I'll introduce 443 00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:39.640 you guys, but she's truly got the link, drop it in the chat. If you have it, that's so great. Thank 444 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:44.860 you for sharing that. But I, I think that you're on the right path. It's so beautiful to hear this 445 00:27:44.860 --> 00:27:50.760 every, you know, the rising tide, right? It's all ships. So loving your people and loving them 446 00:27:50.760 --> 00:27:56.000 through their mess, you know, is, is going to be the best thing. You'll find the best people that 447 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:02.260 way. They, she's got lines of people, waiting lists of people to go to work for her. That's, 448 00:28:02.300 --> 00:28:07.940 that's just so beautiful. And that's, that's kingdom business in action. I really appreciate 449 00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:14.040 that, that you shared that. And, you know, there's different companies doing it different ways. 450 00:28:14.860 --> 00:28:22.420 I think when you look at the origins, even of Google, of how they change the workplace, 451 00:28:23.060 --> 00:28:28.820 you know, instead of just uncomfortable sitting at desks, you know, all that's in there, all the 452 00:28:28.820 --> 00:28:34.440 lounges and places to shoot hoops and all that. And, and I've seen a number of people kind of 453 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:39.880 build their companies that way, where there's a place to just go work out there. Or like you said, 454 00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:43.820 there's childcare. And of course that's, you know, that's going really big from where you are, 455 00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:51.360 but on a small scale, it's, it's the, it's the celebrating birthdays in a genuine way. 456 00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:57.980 It's the, and, and even bigger than that, which Charla really, really hit on is so important. 457 00:28:57.980 --> 00:29:05.840 I had forgotten to say that is to know their dreams and to help them accomplish their dreams. 458 00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:13.500 Okay. It looks like Charla put in the chat. So thank you for, for doing that. And thank you for, 459 00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:21.240 for bringing that to the attention. So it looks like it's heartprofit.org. If you're not seeing 460 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:28.040 the chat, what a, a beautiful, I've never heard of that. So I really appreciate you bringing that 461 00:29:28.780 --> 00:29:36.800 to our local and such a just humble, beautiful soul and went through some stuff. And she was 462 00:29:36.800 --> 00:29:41.020 like almost homeless. She was having to live in her building and then they kicked her out of 463 00:29:41.020 --> 00:29:45.600 the city, wouldn't let her stay there. And so, you know, going through stuff, right. And then 464 00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:52.020 we're all so resilient. She's found ways, but. That's so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank 465 00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.520 you. Okay. Well, while I've got you pinned right now, is there anything, 466 00:29:55.800 --> 00:29:58.640 Charla, you want to talk about in your business at all? 467 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.480 And so I'll talk out of touch. You know, my, we're going to be 468 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:10.400 talking more about my podcast and what how to how to leverage 469 00:30:10.360 --> 00:30:15.800 it. Yeah. And really to look and see if if there's potential 470 00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:18.880 profits. It's been almost pushing three years old. 471 00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:23.820 Yes. You know, those of you like Genevieve, if you don't know 472 00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:27.920 Charla, she really has the gift of encouragement. It's one of 473 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.720 her one of her strong points. And so she's so encouraging. And 474 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.560 so she's, she's really I mean, one of her books, you know, 475 00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.680 what is it candy bar hugs? You know, 476 00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:43.140 she's a bar hugs, it doesn't take much to make a difference. 477 00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:46.820 It's a 25 minute read on audible. If your man just put it 478 00:30:46.820 --> 00:30:48.520 in the bathroom. It's a 25 minute read. 479 00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:52.080 You know, wherever she goes, she's, she's, you know, giving 480 00:30:52.080 --> 00:30:57.860 the hugs in the grocery store and all of that. So that's a 481 00:30:57.860 --> 00:31:00.960 that's Charla, you know, in in action. 482 00:31:02.320 --> 00:31:05.000 And split second transformation, change your words, change your 483 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:06.640 life. 31 daily practices. 484 00:31:07.260 --> 00:31:10.340 There you go. There you go. Okay. All right. I'm not going 485 00:31:10.340 --> 00:31:13.160 to get you started. You got a lot of books to talk about. So 486 00:31:13.800 --> 00:31:20.900 but the reason I say that is, what what tends to happen is we 487 00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:28.680 are on one of two sides. And both of those sides are 488 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:36.460 important. And that is the cycle of life that is giving and 489 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:42.300 receiving. So we've got women, we've got people, but let's just 490 00:31:42.580 --> 00:31:52.480 about women, we've got women that are over givers. And they're 491 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:57.740 also often overachievers, they're often over committers. 492 00:31:58.320 --> 00:32:05.280 Okay, these are all the you know, the overs. And this is a 493 00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:12.480 a twisting a manipulation of the gift that God has in God's 494 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:18.920 image. So it all comes down to the heart. And so let's take 495 00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:24.840 overachieving. It's not based on love, it's based on fear. It's 496 00:32:24.840 --> 00:32:28.500 based on the fear that either I am not enough, or I don't have 497 00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:34.280 enough. And so if I can just push a little harder push, I'm 498 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:38.440 proving I'm proving that I am enough, or I'm proving that I 499 00:32:38.520 --> 00:32:42.980 have enough. Okay, that contrasting of overachieving, 500 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.200 which is coming from a heart of fear and lack, which is 501 00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:52.540 distortion of God's image, to high achieving. God's a big 502 00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:57.040 dreamer, he wants to give us the nations, he wants us to prosper 503 00:32:58.380 --> 00:33:01.880 abundantly, overflow, all you have to look at every step of 504 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:04.480 the ones that God worked with, or even the concept of the 505 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:09.360 promised land flowing with milk and honey. So he wants us high 506 00:33:09.360 --> 00:33:13.260 achieving, but that's based on coming from the place of 507 00:33:13.260 --> 00:33:17.180 abundance coming from the place of Christ in me, coming from 508 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:23.740 that fullness, not from emptiness. Okay. And so I could 509 00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:28.060 do that for overgiving, it's the fear of not being accepted, not 510 00:33:28.060 --> 00:33:32.480 being light. So whatever it is, it's fear based, or it's love 511 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:38.820 based, truth based, okay. So that cycle, I'm either just 512 00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:46.740 breathing out, which is the over giving, so that I'm just 513 00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:49.760 giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, 514 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:55.360 giving, until I collapse. Because it's out of balance, we 515 00:33:55.360 --> 00:34:01.000 can't only breathe out. The other side of it is the fear 516 00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.300 based hoarding, that I'm just trying to get and hold on, and 517 00:34:06.300 --> 00:34:08.260 I'm not going to share with anyone, and I'm not going to 518 00:34:08.260 --> 00:34:10.639 give and I'm just gonna, you know, and I'm just going to 519 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:12.719 breathe in and breathe in and breathe in and breathe in and 520 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.820 breathe in. And I never breathe out. And I also die. Okay. So 521 00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:22.199 life is about giving and receiving. And usually one of 522 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.080 those is out of balance. Either we don't know how to receive. We 523 00:34:27.080 --> 00:34:29.960 just don't ask for our needs, we don't allow ourselves to 524 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.219 receive, that comes in the form of money in the form of love in 525 00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:39.120 the form of, you know, we don't, we don't open ourselves to 526 00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:44.760 receive the abundance God has. Okay, so we're broken on the 527 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:48.340 receiving end, or we're broken on the giving end, as I 528 00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:52.540 mentioned, and so God is wanting to restore this divine rhythm. 529 00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:57.640 Okay. And that plays out in all our relationships, be it 530 00:34:57.820 --> 00:34:59.980 with our children, be it with our husbands. 531 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.180 be it, you know, it plays out everywhere. You know, the saying how you do one thing is how we do all 532 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:14.020 things. Okay, so that's a great conversation. I'm so glad that you opened that conversation. 533 00:35:14.120 --> 00:35:20.100 You were meant to be here today, and I'm really glad that you're here. And thank you, Sharla, 534 00:35:20.220 --> 00:35:27.100 for sharing. Tracy, anything going on with you? Anything you want to add to this conversation? 535 00:35:30.060 --> 00:35:40.480 You're muted. You got to unmute. No, I'm good. Thank you. Okay, and you've got it in a lot of 536 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:46.300 ways because a lot of times as a wife, as a different type of business partner, whether 537 00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:52.640 it's with Reynolds and all of that kind of stuff, again, it's looking at, you know, where do I get, 538 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:59.980 where am I not stewarding? Because being out of balance is not stewarding. We're called to 539 00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:05.640 mind. We're called to steward our spiritual life, our spirit. We're called to steward, 540 00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:12.760 right, our relationships. Everything is really about stewardship. So when we're out of balance, 541 00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:19.920 we're not stewarding something, and then something cracks. If we're so overgiving, 542 00:36:20.120 --> 00:36:26.660 and we just neglect our own health or our own mental health, then the next thing you know is, 543 00:36:26.660 --> 00:36:32.820 you know, you've got some kind of health challenge, right? So it'll show up. And 544 00:36:34.080 --> 00:36:41.740 when I spoke in Reno, I just spoke at the Reno Tapestry, and I spoke about how God has created 545 00:36:41.740 --> 00:36:47.640 us to be a vessel. So we're a temple of the Holy Spirit. We're a container. We're a container. 546 00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:53.440 And so we're meant to be a container. You know, rivers of living water flow out of our belly. 547 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:58.800 We're meant to be a container of His Spirit. We're meant to be a container of love, of light. 548 00:36:58.900 --> 00:37:03.960 That's why we're the light of the world. We're the salt. We're meant to be a container. But these 549 00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:11.260 things are leaks in the container. They're leaks. And so the leaks lead to burnout, or exhaustion, 550 00:37:11.560 --> 00:37:18.760 or immune suppression, or relationship breakdowns. It's because of the leaks. And so 551 00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:27.720 this is my passion with the Prosper Leader membership. And then for those people that 552 00:37:27.720 --> 00:37:33.860 need to go deeper than that, the Prosper Leader membership, of course, you've got all the courses 553 00:37:33.860 --> 00:37:40.020 on the membership site. You've got a couple live calls, and you've got the weekly Prosper Power 554 00:37:40.020 --> 00:37:47.460 Hour and the weekly office hours. But for those that desire the one-on-one coaching, 555 00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:53.620 and they need clarity, they need to do an intensive, where we just get absolutely clear 556 00:37:53.620 --> 00:38:02.560 on every aspect of your business. And those that would like the hands-on implementation coaching, 557 00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:13.780 I'm offering just a really, really great deal of a 90-day coaching. And so check with me 558 00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:20.040 if that's of interest to you. You can always do a call with me and schedule on my website, 559 00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:27.640 brendabuyers.com. There's a schedule button, really easy to find. And brendabuyers.com, 560 00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:35.000 schedule. So two things. Number one, if you need more hands-on to get ready for this next level, 561 00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:41.660 schedule a call with me. And take advantage of what's in the Prosper Leader membership right now. 562 00:38:41.660 --> 00:38:50.980 And think about who you could really bless by telling them about this. And I'm happy to do 563 00:38:50.980 --> 00:38:56.780 a free call and introduce them. I'm happy to have them come join one of these and experience it, 564 00:38:57.900 --> 00:39:04.400 especially have them come as a guest to the Prosper Power Hour next Wednesday, or have them 565 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:09.680 have a call with me. And let's see, where are they lacking? Is it clarity? Is it confidence? 566 00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:20.500 Is it strategy? Where is it? And please get the word out that way. I'm on Instagram. I'm 567 00:39:20.500 --> 00:39:26.660 as prosper in all things. I'm on Facebook as Brenda Byers. I'm on YouTube as prosper in all 568 00:39:26.660 --> 00:39:33.700 things. So there's lots of resources. I'm always putting out lots of ways that you can share. 569 00:39:33.700 --> 00:39:42.580 And so I'm excited to have spent this time with you. I was looking and just reviewing how much 570 00:39:42.580 --> 00:39:53.780 we've covered this year already. And so I think I'm going to save that for the next call because 571 00:39:53.780 --> 00:39:59.980 we really have covered tremendous amount of territory that I want to review. 572 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:12.620 if you. What I would say right now is to be sure that if you're reaching out, if you're 573 00:40:12.620 --> 00:40:20.960 looking for leads and that type of thing, to be sure that you are being very clear. 574 00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:30.420 And, you know, the first step is to stop the scroll. People are scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. 575 00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:38.160 Stop the scroll. And it's a battle for attention right now. And it's a two point nine second 576 00:40:38.160 --> 00:40:43.480 attention span. So whatever it is that you're doing, where you're speaking or anything, 577 00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:51.040 you have to have a hook that grabs them in the first two point nine seconds. And then 578 00:40:51.640 --> 00:40:59.240 always ask the question, what do you want them to feel and connect at the heart level? 579 00:40:59.260 --> 00:41:08.800 Right now, people are just very frantic. And so it's super important to be genuine. And 580 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:14.520 to be real, they're not looking for perfection. Many people are looking in the wrong places. 581 00:41:14.720 --> 00:41:20.860 They think, oh, I lack technology. The prospecting that's working best right now has almost no 582 00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:27.300 technology. The prospecting that's just selling millions is like putting what you do on a 583 00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:35.080 Google sheet and sharing it that way. No website, no CRM's. No, I'm not saying those things 584 00:41:35.080 --> 00:41:44.600 are great to make life easy. But right now, it's not in it's not in fancy posts. It's 585 00:41:44.600 --> 00:41:51.320 not in perfect writing. It's actually very real, very raw, very quick. It's very story 586 00:41:51.420 --> 00:42:00.800 based and it's very clear on the problem that you solve. And it's about quick wins, quick 587 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:08.900 wins. So what do I want them to feel? What do I want them to remember? What do I want 588 00:42:08.900 --> 00:42:15.000 them to do? And so the call to action needs to be very, very clear. So we'll talk more 589 00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.920 about that in calls coming up. But that's kind of if I was going to give a State of 590 00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:25.820 the Union in social media and in that type of thing. Right now, it's real. It's raw. 591 00:42:25.820 --> 00:42:33.200 It's to the point and it's clear. It's clear in the hook. It's clear in the problem that 592 00:42:33.200 --> 00:42:43.540 you solve. It's compelling through story that is relatable. So people will like what you 593 00:42:43.540 --> 00:42:52.700 do. You'll get likes. But you won't get conversion unless they have really built a trust 594 00:42:52.700 --> 00:42:57.880 that they both know, like and trust you. And so the trust comes from the stories to 595 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:05.620 trust comes from the consistency and the trust comes from the clarity. And so a very clear 596 00:43:05.620 --> 00:43:15.680 call to action, very clear. So, Sharla, when it comes to each, think about each one of 597 00:43:15.680 --> 00:43:22.680 those podcasts. What do you want them to feel? What do you want them to remember? What do 598 00:43:22.680 --> 00:43:27.900 you want them to do? And the do should be a simple action that solves a problem that 599 00:43:27.900 --> 00:43:33.840 they have that they can see a quick win. People are really about clear results and quick wins. 600 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:40.300 And that's where a lot of your profit is going to come. How you monetize it. OK, so this 601 00:43:40.300 --> 00:43:46.560 applies whether you're doing a podcast, whether you're doing an email series, whether you're, 602 00:43:46.560 --> 00:43:53.040 you know, doing a YouTube or a live on social media, whether you're doing a post and it 603 00:43:53.040 --> 00:43:58.420 even Genevieve in your job descriptions and in your onboarding. This applies in all of 604 00:43:58.420 --> 00:44:06.940 all of the same same principles. OK. All right. I pray this has blessed you. I will see you 605 00:44:06.940 --> 00:44:16.140 Wednesday, the twenty ninth and just go forth and have a super, super blessed day. Thanks 606 00:44:16.140 --> 00:44:29.280 for being here. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you. You're muted, though. I didn't know when I was saying 607 00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.160 I love you. Oh, OK. Love you, too. Talk to you later. Bye bye.
