Hey, hey, fam, how are you doing?
I hope you're doing amazing.
This is exciting.
This is a very fun chat with you guys.
We won't be long on this chat, but it is great to be with you.
And in this chat, let me do the classic, do a quick check the tech, make sure it's working
like it should be.
And you guys can see me and hear me.
Choice.
Look at that.
We're good to go.
Sweet, fam.
So this is happening right now.
We have we have just completed just last week, the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
So whether you're watching this live or whether you're watching this on the replay, let me
know if you.
Well, first of all, let me know where you're tuning in from.
It's great to have people with us.
It's great that you can join these videos is awesome.
Really appreciate it and really grateful that you tune in.
So lots of love to you, Bob.
And let me know where you are, where you're tuning in from, what time it is.
And then the big question is the big question, right?
The big question is, you know, and let me know where you're at.
OK, I'd love to do a little survey here and get a gauge on where people are at.
So one, did you did you even hear about the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge?
Did you even know that that was a thing?
Did you hear about it?
It would be great to know what your thoughts were.
So first, this first question, did you hear about it?
Yes or no.
You heard about it or you didn't hear about it.
Drop that in the comments for me.
Second thing is, if you heard about it, did you take up the challenge or not?
Yes or no.
Did you take up the challenge?
Third question, I've got a few questions here doing a little bit of a survey.
Third question, if you jumped on board with the challenge, did you complete it
or did you find it was too hard in some ways,
or some things that didn't work for you?
If you completed it or if you just like, so just say completed it.
If you completed it, just drop complete in the comments
or just say incomplete or something like that if you didn't.
And feel free to share your story on what happened.
Then the fourth thing is, next one, I think that's probably just about five.
But the next one is, let me know if you absolutely loved it
and you're hungry and you're ready to go for some more.
Because we are about to launch the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge Level 2.
All right.
We're about to launch Level 2, which is exciting.
So we're going to launch the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge Level 2
Monday next week.
So get ready for that.
Monday next week, we're going live with Level 2.
And I'm going to chat to you the next few days,
make sure everyone is ready to go for that
and kind of understands what it's going to look like.
So I'm just going to give you, wherever you were at,
I'm going to give you a few little heads up.
So if you didn't hear about the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge,
give you a heads up on what it is.
If you tried it and it didn't work out,
I'm going to give you a heads up on how to adjust it
so that it can work for you.
And then also going to give people free access
to doing the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
And then for those who absolutely loved it,
there's little heads up on Level 2,
how you can get access to that
and where it's going to happen, when it's going to happen, etc.
Sweet. So let me jump into it.
And if you've got any questions about the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge,
just drop them in the comments.
I'll answer them for you.
So first thing is, let me do a screen share.
Now, my screen's often pretty busy.
Oh, look at this.
Yes, there we go.
Sweet. So here's the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
What it is, is it's just a daily little...
It's a daily challenge, right?
It's a daily group of tasks that we do every day for 21 days.
And why do we do it?
Well, the reason why we do it is actually...
So first one here on the list, I'll come to this in a second.
But the first one on the list is praying in the spirit for five minutes.
The second one is reading a chapter of Proverbs.
So here's what I read from Proverbs today.
Oh, I don't think that's working.
I'm going to stop that share and I'm going to share my screen again
and go do this in a slightly different way.
Where is this?
There we go.
Oh, that should work for you.
So the second one here is reading a chapter of Proverbs.
So let me go to my Proverbs for today, which was just awesome.
This is Proverbs 25, verse...
28 in the NIV, it says, like a city whose walls are broken through as a person who lacks
self-control. Let me say that again. Like a city whose walls are broken through as a person who
lacks self-control. So you could say self-control, you could say willpower, you could say tenacity,
you could say grit, you could say chutzpah, you could say all sorts of different words that
talk about this concept of self-control. I'll come back to the screen share in a second.
So I've got a friend, Dave Riddell, and he always starts off conferences and events like this,
builds some intensity, builds a little bit of buzz, gets people on the edge of their seats.
He says, who wants to know the secret to getting whatever you want in life? And then when people
are finally like, yes, David, we want to know, kind of on the edge of the seat, he finally says,
the secret to getting whatever you want in life is to do whatever it takes.
And then when I've heard him say this, often what kind of eventuates is this,
almost like a disappointment, a silent disappointment creeps throughout the crowd
because so many people have this kind of knowing, a little bit of an inkling that
they actually don't have what it takes to do whatever it takes in order to get whatever
they want. So the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge is about helping you build self-control, grit,
chutzpah, willpower, helping you build the capacity within yourself to have the strength,
to have the ability to do whatever it takes in order to step into your dreams, in order to stand.
So these are challenging times that we're in right now. And without strength, without willpower,
without self-control, we are going to struggle to stand. We're going to struggle to thrive. We're
going to struggle to run in the call of God. We're going to struggle to build our dreams.
So what we need, I think this is one of the most needed things in the whole body of Christ right
now, is self-control or willpower, the ability to stand, the ability to hold fast, the ability to
have grit, determination, tenacity. A friend of mine in the deep south calls it testicular fortitude.
So let me read this proverb for you again. Like a city whose walls are broken through,
is a person who lacks self-control. Good old proverbs. So that is a little bit about proverbs.
Okay. So I don't know if my screen share was working very well for you guys there. Sorry if
it wasn't working well. Let me know in the comments if it wasn't. Oh no, there it goes. I think it's
mixed it up. So with the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge, what it's about is daily tasks
every day that will actually help you build strength, build capacity, build tenacity
in order to be able to stand, to be able to do whatever it takes to get whatever you want in
life. So if you like the sound of actually making your dreams happen and not just being a daydreamer,
not just being someone who thinks about things but never makes them actually happen, then jump
on board with 21 Day Hard Things Challenge. So that's for people who don't know about it. There's
a link in the description of this video that will give you free access. I could charge $497
or something like that if I really wanted to. I just want to give it to you for free, but I also
want you to know that there's value to it, but it's a gift. So just click on the link here and you'll
be able to jump on board with it. The awesome thing is that you can actually start the 21 Day
Hard Things Challenge. You can start that whenever you like. So you can start that right now,
but there's a whole tribe that goes on the journey together. So there's awesome accountability.
There's a whole crew. There's a whole bunch of people that have been on the journey together,
and it's been amazing sharing that together. So if you've done it and you've been on the
adventure, just drop, yep, I loved it. Let me know what your thoughts are. Any testimonies?
I've seen so many testimonies. We're not going to look at testimonies today, but we are going to
look at some testimonies coming up soon. You're going to hear a bunch of cool things happening
from people, just people that loved it and how it was a blessing in their life. So stay tuned.
So now people who attempted and didn't make it, let me just tell you a little story. So
at the very end of last year, the very end of 2020 on Boxing Day. So Boxing Day, the day after
Christmas, December the 26th, I was running out of 2020. I had a goal to run 20 kilometers in 2020,
and long distance running has never been a real forte for me, but I had this goal. I wanted to
run 20 kilometers in 2020. I'd started training for it in November thinking, yeah, I'm going to
build up my strength and endurance and fitness. It's going to be good. But then actually, like the
day after I started my training, I broke my wrist and it was a pretty bad break. And they said,
don't want you running on it for at least a month. And then even then, probably not. So
finally, it kind of like the
the year's nearly over. And I've gotten to this point where, yeah, then the year's nearly over.
And I, you know, I'm like, I haven't done any training. And I was like, oh, my gosh, I've only
got one chance to actually make this happen. And the cool thing about Christmas is that I was with
my brother and my brother in law who both run, you know, like ultra marathons and things like
that on a regular basis, they run marathons and things like that, like, it's no big deal. I'm
like, what? And so I was like, my only chance of actually making this happen is if I do it on
boxing day with those guys. So we set out, we did it. And it was absolutely killing me. The last
five K's, I was smashed. And it just started getting worse and worse. And I was like, oh,
my gosh, I don't know if I can keep going on. But then I had this, just like this realization,
I think the Lord just spoke to me, gave me a little whisper, little survival tactic,
which was actually what I needed to do was just reduce my intensity, and then I could keep going.
And so with the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge, it's not about perfection, okay? So it's not about
being perfect or doing everything right. That's not the focus. The focus is transformation. The
focus is, hey, is there a way to grow? Is there a way to grow? Is there a way to make progress?
Is there a way to step it up in any way? Okay, so that's what we want. We don't want, it's not
about perfection. It's just about transformation. And what I've seen actually a lot through this
challenge, and we've talked about it quite a bit as well, is that when you focus on perfection,
what happens is you start comparing, right? When your focus is perfection,
you start comparing with other people. And comparison is a thief of joy. But when you
focus on transformation, it produces gratitude. And gratitude is a multiplier of joy. So if you
started the challenge and didn't make it, that doesn't matter. The goal is not perfection. The
goal is not even to like do everything right, okay? The goal is transformation. And you get
that by having a go. And so if you didn't make it and you want to have another go, then
fantastic. Jump on board. And if you need to, reduce the intensity a little bit. Let's jump back to the
21 Day Hard Things Challenge, the list. I'm going to hit that screen share button again, and I'm going
to pull this fella up. All right, so we've got on the list here, praying in the spirit for five
minutes. Yes, if you're not used to praying in the spirit and you'd like to, then you can ask
questions. We can help you out with that. But it's flipping awesome. I had testimonies today,
just today of people going, oh my gosh, I'm actually receiving more of everything that God
has for me. My faith's primed up from praying in the spirit. I'm just receiving from God like never
before. And I just love hearing that. So let's pray in the spirit for five minutes. Read a
chapter of Proverbs. Record your favorite verse. And as I go through these lists, I'll just go
through it once for you. And I just want you to say possible or not possible, okay? So praying
in the spirit for five minutes, in the spirit for five minutes a day, I think possible.
Reading a chapter of Proverbs, let me know if you think that's possible or not. Recording your
favorite verse from the chapter, let me know if you think it's possible or not. List your three
things that you're grateful for, for the day. Is that possible? Complete your daily declaration. So
we actually have a training that will show you how to do that. I won't do that now. But when you
jump on board for the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge, it will walk you through this. Move your body for
at least five minutes. Possible, right? Eat something awesome. Everyone loves that one.
Drink three liters of water. You don't have to actually hit that three liters. That's a guide.
So if you want to go for, you know, if you can go for three liters and it works for you and your
body, that's great. Otherwise, shoot for two. Number nine, intentionally love on someone.
Possible or not possible? You let me know. Practice your trigger. Make a genius financial
move and post an accountability photo so you can actually share the journey with everyone
on the adventure. Now, if you click the link and jump on board and sign up for the 21 Day
Hard Things Challenge, you actually get some more instruction and coaching on how to actually do
everything and how to get set up and how to get primed on that. You'll sign up. You'll get an
email. Actually get an email every day that's just encouraging you along the way and championing you
to do hard things. Sweet. So if you haven't done level one yet, you want to jump on board and
smash that out. If you smashed out level one, or if you started and you kind of didn't make it,
but you want to have another go, just go for it, but reduce the intensity. If it's not working for
you, change it up. That's a guide. And the idea is transformation, not perfection. So if you need
to adjust it a little bit, but if you can go for it, go the whole hog. Now, if you smash that and
you absolutely love it, the exciting thing is that we've got a level two coming. OK, say level two.
Yes. Now, I'm going to go more in depth with level two, let you know how it's changed up and
what's different and how we've just rearranged it a little bit to take you to the next level.
And so that's exciting. So we're going to be starting that next week. I'm going to do another
video that shares some more testimonies about the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge. And it's also going
to share with you in that video the details.
details of Level 2, okay?
But if you want to get primed and get ready before we launch on Monday, New Zealand time
for Level 2, that's when it's going to happen, so you can get ready for it Monday, New Zealand
time Level 2.
We're going to prep.
We're going to show you all the details for getting into Level 2, but it's happening in
the Online School of SunShip.
So if you're already in the Online School of SunShip, you get it for free.
If you're not, click the link in the description below and get signed up for the Online School
of SunShip, and then we'll be doing another video, probably Friday, that we'll be doing
another video and letting you know exactly what Level 2 looks like and how to jump on
board with that.
So that's the gist of it for today.
If you've got any questions about the challenge, right, the 21-day challenge, drop questions
in here.
If you've got any questions about Level 2, drop them in here, and I'll make sure that
we answer them in the Level 2 training that's just specifically about that, but it's going
to be a great adventure.
I'm so delighted seeing all the testimonies coming in from all around the world, people
doing hard things, loving going on it as a group, loving the journey together, and seeing
real transformation.
So this is powerful, fam.
Love you heaps.
I'm going to sign it off now, and I look forward to sharing this journey and adventure together.
So looking forward to Level 2, and if you want to do Level 1, you can jump on board
with it anytime.
Righto, fam.
Bless you.
Have an awesome day.
See you.
