WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.680 Hey guys, sorry about that, had a significant fail there, my internet ran out and I didn't 2 00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:10.680 know that was going to happen. 3 00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:17.760 So I hope you're doing good, we're back online, we're back online, it's going to be a little 4 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:26.120 bit lower quality than you are used to because I'm having to shoot this off my laptop right 5 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.720 now to save the day. 6 00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:44.680 So one moment, okay, okay, we're there, we've got some people in, okay guys, sorry about 7 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:55.400 quality, it's not going to be quite as good as you're used to, but here we go, give me 8 00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:59.200 a thumbs up, you're all good, you can hear me, give me a thumbs up if you can hear me, 9 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:05.880 give me a thumbs up if it's all good for you from there, yep, thumbs up, I see some people 10 00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:11.520 there, hope you guys have had a great day and I was just about to launch into telling 11 00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:14.680 you about the Chinese bamboo tree. 12 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:21.800 So we're back on, boom, we've got, yep, we're back, we've got thumbs up, sweet, okay, sorry 13 00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:26.880 about that little blooper moment there and let me get straight back into it, we're talking 14 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.000 about the Chinese bamboo tree. 15 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.280 So the Chinese bamboo tree, when you plant that, you're going to plant it and you're 16 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.560 going to water it and you're going to feed it intensely for a whole year and at the end 17 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.960 of that year, you know what, nothing is going to happen, you won't even see a shoot come 18 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:47.040 out of the ground, you're going to have to water it, you're going to keep on watering 19 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.840 it and feeding it for another whole year and guess what, it's still, you're still not 20 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.080 even going to see one single shoot come up out of the ground, so that's two years of 21 00:01:56.080 --> 00:02:00.720 intense watering and feeding, so you're going to have to keep on watering it, keep on feeding 22 00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:05.120 it and you're going to have to keep on going for another whole year, oh my gosh, yes, that's 23 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:09.600 right, for now for three years, you have been watering and you've been feeding this Chinese 24 00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:15.160 bamboo tree and it hasn't even popped one single shoot out above the soil and then you 25 00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:18.400 know what, you're going to have to keep on watering it and feeding it for another whole 26 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.720 year, so that's going to be four years of watering and feeding the Chinese bamboo tree 27 00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:26.920 and nothing has happened, not one single shoot has even popped up out of the ground and you 28 00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:31.120 know what, you're going to have to keep on going even another year, so five years, after 29 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.200 five years of watering and feeding the Chinese bamboo tree, it finally, it finally pops one 30 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.040 little shoot up out of the ground, it takes five years for it to even, even to break the 31 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:48.720 surface, but once it has broken the surface, the Chinese bamboo tree, once it has broken 32 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:58.320 the surface of the ground, within six weeks, it grows 90 feet, that's over 27 meters and 33 00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:02.640 in six weeks, it grows from this, from there's absolutely nothing there, not a single thing 34 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:07.720 popping up through the ground at all, but within six weeks, boom, it has shot up and 35 00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:13.200 it has become an absolute giant on the landscape and that's, that's growing around two feet 36 00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:19.720 a day, that is just phenomenal and so what I want to talk to you tonight about is about 37 00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:25.520 the value of strategy, if you don't see the value in strategy, then you're probably not 38 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.520 going to steward the strategic planner, so I've actually already uploaded into the group 39 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.480 the strategic planner, you can check the announcements for that and at the end of this video, I'll 40 00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:41.440 put that strategic planner on the announcements page and then I'll also send it out in the 41 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:48.720 messages, but think about that, how amazing is that the value of strategic planning, because 42 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:54.240 what happens for the Chinese bamboo tree is it's busy, busy, busy, where no one can see 43 00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.400 it, it's working, it's hustling, it's getting very, very busy, putting in place the infrastructure 44 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:01.400 for success. 45 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:09.120 Now, your strategic plan is your infrastructure, it's your system for success, now, a lot of 46 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.720 people just have an idea and they just jump out, they just run with it, but they haven't 47 00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:20.880 put in place the infrastructure for success, so your strategic plan is your infrastructure 48 00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.000 for success, so I'm going to ask you, have you actually put in place a strategic plan 49 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.600 for your life, have you got a goal, but your goal doesn't have a strategic plan attached 50 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:39.040 to it, oh my gosh, so I want to share with you one more story as well, that just basically 51 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:46.640 adding value to you about the concept of having a strategic plan, put your thumbs up or a 52 00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:50.400 high five or something like that, if you've heard of Alexander the Great, who's heard 53 00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:55.520 of Alexander the Great, yeah, some people have heard of Alexander the Great, what do 54 00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:00.000 you think Alexander the Great is famous for, maybe put in the comments. 55 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.800 you think uh alexander is famous for or give a thumbs up if you've um seen alexander the great 56 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.000 uh well like if you've not seen him in town you know not pop down town but who knows about 57 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.760 alexander the great because i want to talk to you about alexander the great tonight and i'll let you 58 00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:22.960 know why he is famous why we know the name alexander the great um who's heard of him thumbs 59 00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:32.720 up what do you know about alexander the great uh let's uh let's i'm gonna so let me tell you why 60 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.560 he's famous uh i'll start i'll start with giving you a story one of the stories of alexander the 61 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:45.680 great uh that illustrates why he is famous why we know the name alexander the great so alexander the 62 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:55.200 great uh invaded persia he took on the persian empire darius was the um the emperor of persia 63 00:05:55.200 --> 00:06:05.120 at that time and he was a massive deal um darius commanded the largest army in the world and these 64 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.440 were battle-hardened troops that darius had just used to conquer pretty much the entire known world 65 00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:17.280 so persian empire had expanded all over the world darius was the boss he was the man he had this 66 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:25.680 phenomenal huge elite army that had taken over the world and uh anyway alexander invaded persia and 67 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.160 began having these battles with him he actually ended up having this one battle which he won it 68 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.200 wasn't against uh it wasn't against darius's main force but it was still a significant victory 69 00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:41.520 and in that battle alexander actually captured one of darius's wives and one of his daughters 70 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:47.040 and uh that was a that was a big deal for darius he actually sent a message to 71 00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:52.640 uh alexander and said look let's come to agreement let's come to a peace agreement 72 00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:58.400 and i tell you what you return my family and let's settle this peace agreement and i'll actually give 73 00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:06.240 you up to half my kingdom now that is a pretty wild massive deal alexander he sent back a message 74 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:14.720 to darius that said everything you own is now mine come out and fight for it now that's some 75 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:19.360 serious confidence that's a massive confidence people would think well i mean this is you're 76 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.520 taking on the ruler of the world this is a pretty big deal what you're saying so anyway 77 00:07:24.320 --> 00:07:29.280 uh what happens um oh here we go this isn't popping up automatically yep there we go 78 00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:34.480 uh so people have heard of um alexander the great here's what happens is 79 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:42.000 darius chooses the battlefield darius summons all his guys and he gets one of the biggest 80 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.960 armies that's battled in that era darius gathers 200 to 250 000 troops at least at least 200 to 81 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:56.320 250 000 troops at least at least 200 to 250 000 troops uh that darius gathers he chooses the 82 00:07:56.320 --> 00:08:03.600 battlefield he puts all these traps in place he has got the whole thing ready to go um so this the 83 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.200 but then alexander here's what alexander does alexander captures some of his guys he's watching 84 00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:15.760 everything unfolding he's spying on darius he gets the these uh some of the troops of darius and gets 85 00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:20.400 them to tell him where all the traps are gets them to tell him um all the things that darius 86 00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:27.120 is planning for him and then alexander goes to meet him in a pitched battle now alexander has 87 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:35.760 only got 40 000 troops and 7 000 cavalry whoa so he's got 40 000 troops 7 000 cavalry and he's going 88 00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:43.280 up against at least 200 to 250 000 elite battle-hardened warriors who've just taken over 89 00:08:43.280 --> 00:08:49.200 the whole known world and uh most people would think oh my gosh we're outnumbered by 150 to 200 90 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:55.040 000 men maybe we should maybe we should just leave maybe this is not going to work out after all but 91 00:08:55.040 --> 00:09:02.800 alexander is absolutely confident that his uh strategy is going to work so boom they end up 92 00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:11.360 meeting uh in this pitched battle and uh darius has a secret weapon this the secret weapon of 93 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.640 darius is something called the scythe chariots and these side chariots were notorious darius had 94 00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:21.360 200 of these side chariots that he would release and they had big blades sticking out of the wheels 95 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:26.800 and when they'd go through uh an enemy they would just cut the enemy to pieces and darius was famous 96 00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:33.920 for just uh decimating our armies with these side chariots but alexander knew that was going to be 97 00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:39.360 coming so he'd already developed something he had a troop called the phalanx now a phalanx was 98 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.840 a group of men that was 16 men wide and 16 men deep they had a small shield and they had a really 99 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:52.960 really long uh spear and so when the uh when the side chariots were released against alexander's 100 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.240 troops he sent the phalanx uh group out to meet them and when the side chariots were coming 101 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.000 charging at them they parted 102 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.960 And they created a gap and the chariots ran straight into that gap into a wall of spears 103 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:12.280 and then on the side, the men from the side got them with spears as well. 104 00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:18.320 And just in a few minutes, Darius's big great idea was just completely wiped out and Alexander's 105 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.320 men didn't lose anything. 106 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:26.360 Anyway, the way that battle unfolded is that Darius didn't crush Alexander. 107 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:32.280 Alexander's strategy completely decimated this enormous army. 108 00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:37.680 Alexander only lost around 1,000 men while Darius's troops lost somewhere in the vicinity 109 00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:41.360 of 50,000 men in a short space of time. 110 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.240 That's over 50,000 men in one battle. 111 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.760 Oh my gosh. 112 00:10:46.760 --> 00:10:50.360 So he got absolutely decimated by Alexander. 113 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:55.160 And here, check this out for a crazy thing, Alexander at that time, it was that battle, 114 00:10:55.160 --> 00:11:01.240 the Battle of Galgamela, and that battle was on October the 31st, 331 BC, so we're 115 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.440 coming up to the anniversary of it. 116 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:10.160 And it was at that battle, after that battle, that Alexander got the title Alexander the 117 00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:11.160 Great. 118 00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:17.640 And he was only 26 years old when he did it, and it was basically a battle for the world. 119 00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:23.200 It was a battle to take over the world, and at 26, he won that battle. 120 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:27.720 Now, there was a lot more fighting to go, but by age 32, Alexander had conquered the 121 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.640 whole known world. 122 00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:36.080 Now, he never lost, get this, no other commander can boast this, but Alexander never lost a 123 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.400 single battle. 124 00:11:37.400 --> 00:11:42.040 It's not reported of Alexander the Great ever losing a single battle, even if he was dramatically 125 00:11:42.040 --> 00:11:47.760 outnumbered, every single time, Alexander's strategy absolutely dominated. 126 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:52.480 So here's what I want to, just this concept that I want to add and throw out there to 127 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:59.320 you tonight is the value of strategy. 128 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:05.360 Alexander died by age 32, but he'd already conquered the entire known world at age 32. 129 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.480 What a huge feat. 130 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:15.120 So you've got Alexander the Great, the most successful commander in the world, and his 131 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.200 number one strength was strategy. 132 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:22.240 It wasn't numbers, it wasn't wealth, it wasn't his weapons, although he did have amazing 133 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:27.080 weapons, which was a part of his strategy, but it was strategy, strategy, strategy. 134 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:32.920 You've got the Chinese bamboo tree, which spends five years developing a system for 135 00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:33.920 success. 136 00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:38.240 And here's what I want to communicate to you tonight, that your strategic plan is your 137 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.520 system for success. 138 00:12:40.520 --> 00:12:45.440 So what I've given you tonight is another amazing template, and this template that's 139 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.080 uploaded into the group is called the strategic planner. 140 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.680 Now the strategic planner is, it's fantastic. 141 00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:58.000 It's going to take you step by step, exactly through the pathway that you need to develop. 142 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.200 So you choose one of your goals, right? 143 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:06.520 Choose one of your dreams, one of your goals that you want to make happen, and so you're 144 00:13:06.520 --> 00:13:10.120 going to choose that goal, all right, here you go, you've got your goal, and then you 145 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:15.360 take the strategic planner, and it's going to coach you through, step by step, how to 146 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:19.480 develop a SWOT analysis, go through and check your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities 147 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:20.480 and threats. 148 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.880 It's going to show you how to put smart goals in place. 149 00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:29.200 Now this is so crucial, your goals, most people's goals are waffly. 150 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.200 Most people's goals are not defined. 151 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.800 Most people's goals aren't even goals, because they don't even have a date on them. 152 00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:38.320 If you don't have a date on a desire, it can't be called a goal. 153 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.640 It's just a dream, or it's part of your wishlist. 154 00:13:40.640 --> 00:13:46.120 It's not until it has a date on it that you can call it a goal, and you need goals, because 155 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:49.360 your goals are your stepping stones towards success. 156 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.560 Your goals are your systems for success, it's the infrastructure for success. 157 00:13:53.560 --> 00:13:58.400 So the strategic planner coaches you through how to develop smart goals, and a smart goal, 158 00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:03.000 check this out, you'll want this, but all the notes for this are in the strategic planner, 159 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.320 but a smart goal is specific. 160 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.920 Everything that the vision project is doing, all this vision training that I'm doing, is 161 00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:16.840 helping you to get really, really clear on your personal picture of what success looks 162 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.960 like. 163 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:25.720 In terms of goals, why don't you chuck this out for yourself, what do you reckon about 164 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.720 goals? 165 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.720 Who has got some goals already laid out in their life? 166 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.280 Why don't you just list out for yourself, how many goals have you got at the moment? 167 00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:42.400 So let me define a goal, a smart goal has got specific, it's measurable, it's achievable, 168 00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:46.800 and an achievable goal is a goal that's got a strategy attached to it, all right? 169 00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:52.520 So specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timetabled, or time bound. 170 00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:57.720 Just chuck out there who's got goals, who's got smart goals in their life, and who would 171 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.000 say I've got one smart goal, I've got two... 172 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.360 two SMART goals, I've got three SMART goals, 173 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.240 why don't you chuck down how many SMART goals 174 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.720 do you think you've got and is this not something 175 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.560 that you've done? 176 00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:11.200 Have you actually gone to the effort 177 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.760 of developing SMART goals? 178 00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:16.620 Put a yes, I've got SMART goals, 179 00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:19.320 or a no, I've got no SMART goals, 180 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.060 I've never heard of SMART goals. 181 00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:25.360 Either way, you're gonna love the strategic planner. 182 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.720 Here we go, goal has to have a date on it. 183 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.560 So Jan's got two SMART goals, 184 00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:31.920 that's awesome, anyone else out there? 185 00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:33.780 No SMART goals, all right. 186 00:15:33.780 --> 00:15:38.780 This is a major deal, we want to actually change that 187 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.280 for our lives, so let's think about some timelines 188 00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:45.280 for a second and let me give you a challenge. 189 00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:47.840 This course, the Online School of Sunship, 190 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.200 finishes on December the 14th, all right, 191 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:51.380 December the 14th. 192 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.640 What I wanna encourage you, what I would love to do 193 00:15:54.640 --> 00:15:57.960 is I would love actually to do a bit of a review 194 00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.760 with you guys and give you another template 195 00:15:59.760 --> 00:16:02.460 called the review, and I'd like to do that 196 00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:04.480 on December the 7th, okay? 197

you're going through the strategic planner 200 00:16:12.880 --> 00:16:16.400 is I would love you to think about at least one goal 201 00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:17.920 that you would like to accomplish 202 00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:20.680 by the 7th of December, all right? 203 00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:22.920 What's one goal that you would like to accomplish 204 00:16:22.920 --> 00:16:24.720 by the 7th of December? 205 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.520 So you're gonna think about a goal 206 00:16:26.520 --> 00:16:29.920 as a stepping stone towards your big dream. 207 00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:33.420 Now, we've looked at the vision, the dream activator, 208 00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:35.280 and we've looked at the motivator. 209 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.480 Oh, we've got a couple of smart goals out there. 210 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.520 This is very good. 211 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.560 So we are talking about smart goals, 212 00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:51.800 and we're talking about who has got smart goals, 213 00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:54.200 and a smart goal is a specific goal, 214 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.640 it's measurable, it's attainable, 215 00:16:56.640 --> 00:16:59.480 it's realistic, and it's time-bound. 216 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.700 So all those details and more information 217 00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:04.640 is there for you already in the strategic planner, 218 00:17:04.640 -->

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:59.160 I'd love you guys to start thinking about that. 265 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.080 I'm gonna put more posts up about that 266 00:19:01.080 --> 00:19:02.320 and start

00:19:08.520 by the 7th of December? 270 00:19:08.520 --> 00:19:11.120 That means that we've got time to review it 271 00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:14.920 and go over that before we graduate the school 272 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.760 on the 14th of December. 273 00:19:17.760 --> 00:19:20.760 So, have a think about it. 274 00:19:21.560 --> 00:19:22.400 Can anyone think of it right now? 275 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.560 Why don't you chuck up there, okay, 276 00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:27.560 this is my smart goal that I want to accomplish 277 00:19:27.560 --> 00:19:29.440 by the 7th of December. 278 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.280 Now, if you're like me, you're gonna have 279 00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:33.400 way more than just one smart goal 280 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.740 that you want to accomplish by the 7th of December. 281 00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:39.080 You might have goals that have got different timelines. 282 00:19:39.080 --> 00:19:41.640 I have goals in my life that are different timelines. 283 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.720 So, I was planning out one goal this morning. 284 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.760 So, I'll give you an example of one goal 285 00:19:46.760 --> 00:19:49.300 that I was working on this morning, 286 00:19:49.300 --> 00:19:52.860 making it a smart goal by making it specific, 287 00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:54.820 measurable, attainable, realistic, 288 00:19:54.820 --> 00:19:57.060 and timetabled or time bound. 289 00:19:57.060 --> 00:19:59.780 So, the smart goal that I'm working on this one, 290 00:19:59.780 --> 00:20:00.620 it's. 291 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.300 For the beginning of 2022, 292 00:20:03.300 --> 00:20:05.380 in the beginning of 2022, 293 00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:09.460 I want to have 80 students, 294 00:20:10.340 --> 00:20:13.100 I want to have 80 full-time students 295 00:20:13.100 --> 00:20:15.500 doing the School of Sonship in Te Anau, 296 00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:18.060 at our base at Revival School in Te Anau. 297 00:20:18.060 --> 00:20:21.060 So that's a SMART goal that I was working on this morning. 298 00:20:21.060 --> 00:20:23.220 Now, what you might find with your SMART goals 299 00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:24.460 is that they're interlinked, 300 00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:25.980 they're weaved in with other dreams, 301 00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:29.340 and one goal accomplished enables you 302 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.240 to bring the next goal, 303 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.600 because they're stepping stones. 304 00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:34.040 We've got, oh, look at this, 305 00:20:35.260 --> 00:20:37.640 checkup, you like that, checkup from the neck up. 306 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.680 So people want to talk about getting bills paid. 307 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.440 Some people, oh, yeah, some study goals. 308 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.080 Phil, good stuff. 309 00:20:47.080 --> 00:20:50.040 Running 25 kilometers to know where to move. 310 00:20:50.040 --> 00:20:52.440 Okay, well, that's some really, really good stuff. 311 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.800 So remember, we jump on. 312 00:20:54.800 --> 00:20:57.320 I just, I can't encourage you enough. 313 00:20:57.340 --> 00:20:59.540 If you want to get the value out of this training, 314 00:20:59.540 --> 00:21:01.300 grab a hold of that strategic planner. 315 00:21:01.300 --> 00:21:04.580 You can either convert to an editable PDF 316 00:21:04.580 --> 00:21:06.740 and write in it or print it off. 317 00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:07.900 I actually like printing it off 318 00:21:07.900 --> 00:21:09.500 and filling these things in by hand. 319 00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:11.700 There's some drawing opportunities in there as well. 320 00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:13.780 It's really, really high value. 321 00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:15.700 And when you do that strategic planner, 322 00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:17.860 oh my gosh, it's going to really start refining 323 00:21:17.860 --> 00:21:20.980 exactly what you need to do in order to get there. 324 00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:25.980 So, oh, look at that. 325 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.880 We've got Renee being intentional already. 326 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.720 She wants to book accommodation. 327 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.760 That is fantastic, that's great forward thinking. 328 00:21:32.760 --> 00:21:34.920 So, I'm going to keep posting about this 329 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.080 because I want to see them. 330 00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:37.760 And I'd love you to post some lives. 331 00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:39.920 I'd love you to start jumping on with this about lives. 332 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.920 What are your goals that you would like to accomplish 333 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.160 by the 7th of December, okay? 334 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.680 7th of December, that is the big moment. 335 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.160 We're going to do a checkup from the neck up. 336 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:51.120 We're going to do a review. 337 00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:53.060 I've got a great review template, 338 00:21:53.060 --> 00:21:55.160 which you are going to love as well, 339 00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:56.060 which you can fill out, 340 00:21:56.060 --> 00:21:59.620 which will help you assess what worked, what didn't work. 341 00:21:59.620 --> 00:22:03.140 And you will love that too. 342 00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:08.140 So, what else do I want to say about that? 343 00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:10.540 I just want to say, hey, love you guys. 344 00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:15.340 Let's get some lives going on. 345 00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:18.100 What are your strategic plans? 346 00:22:18.100 --> 00:22:20.420 Want you to have it, because think about this. 347 00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:22.260 The Chinese bamboo tree, 348 00:22:22.260 --> 00:22:24.060 if we just go back to that story for a moment, 349 00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:26.280 the Chinese bamboo tree, 350 00:22:26.280 --> 00:22:28.840 it spends five years developing 351 00:22:28.840 --> 00:22:31.320 the infrastructure for success. 352 00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:34.020 And then the moment that it's time comes 353 00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:38.120 for it to launch out on that, it is off. 354 00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:41.880 And within six weeks, it spends five years 355 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.200 just building a root system 356 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.560 and storing up all the resources that it needs, 357 00:22:46.560 --> 00:22:49.800 the infrastructure for it to support its growth, 358 00:22:49.800 --> 00:22:51.080 everything that it needs. 359 00:22:51.080 --> 00:22:53.600 It spends five years working on that 360 00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:56.420 and without even one little shoot 361 00:22:56.420 --> 00:22:59.100 popping through the soil. 362 00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:01.760 But then when its moment comes, 363 00:23:01.760 --> 00:23:04.740 it has absolutely everything in place 364 00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:07.660 to explode on the scene. 365 00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:10.020 And within six weeks, that's right, 366 00:23:10.020 --> 00:23:12.860 it grows 90 feet or over 27 meters, 367 00:23:12.860 --> 00:23:16.820 like 27.4 meters, about two feet a day. 368 00:23:16.820 --> 00:23:19.420 And this is what I want to see happening for you. 369 00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:22.940 I want you to start becoming like the Chinese bamboo tree. 370 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.280 I want to see you start

00:23:32.380 and the threats and the opportunities 374 00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:33.220 before they get there, 375 00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:34.880 and it's already catered for them. 376 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.320 There's already a system for success in place. 377 00:23:37.320 --> 00:23:39.320 That's why you know Alexander the Great's name, 378 00:23:39.320 --> 00:23:43.960 because he was a master of developing systems for success. 379 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:47.280 That's why the Chinese bamboo tree explodes 380 00:23:47.280 --> 00:23:49.400 and can grow two feet a day. 381 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:54.400 And so guys, let's be serious about our own dreams. 382 00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:59.460 Let's be serious about developing the infrastructure 383 00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:02.540 for success
