All right, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
Can you believe it?
We are, if you're listening to this live, of course, this is our Prosper Leader monthly
kickoff call, and we are already in the second month of the year.
So we are going to be talking about time, time.
We've got a lot of exciting announcements to share with you around that.
I've got some scriptures.
I've got some thoughts, but let's just start by opening with prayer, and then we'll go
through some scriptures.
We'll go through some announcements, and then, of course, if you're listening live, which
is the very best, we're going to get back together and talk about it together.
That's where you can ask questions and give feedback and really glean from each other.
Let's start with prayer.
So Father, I just give thanks for the gift of time.
I give thanks, Lord, that you chose to give us the gift of life and your life within us,
and I ask that whatever you want spoken today, Lord, to advance every woman into the fullness
of her calling, into the strategic use of time, the strategic use of her life force.
Also, Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in
your sight.
In Jesus' name, amen, amen.
So when we talk about time, the first thing I'd like you to think about when it comes
to time is what is your story around time?
You know, nothing has meaning until we attach meaning to it, right?
And we do this all the time.
We look at every person, everything, and we say, oh, you know, she's pretty.
She's ugly.
I like her.
I don't like her.
I like this.
I don't like this.
This is good.
This is bad.
We're attaching meaning to everything, and different people attach different meanings.
That's where the saying comes, one man's treasure and one man's junk is another man's
treasure.
It has to do with how we attach meaning to everything, right?
And I was showing this earlier.
You know, I wake up in the morning and I drink a green drink first thing in the morning,
right?
And I attach the meaning.
I'm starting my body each morning by cleansing it and giving it the nutrients.
This is health.
This is life.
Nobody else can look at it and go, oh, that looks like pond scum.
That's gross.
I would never do that.
I can't stand those health freaks, right?
Everybody's attaching a different meaning to everything.
So what meaning are you attaching to time?
Is it precious?
Is it too short?
I've shared with some of you something my late brother used to say.
He used to call me.
He'd say, hey, I'm calling you.
I'm just killing time.
And that used to just like rub me the wrong way.
It's like, why would you kill the thing that is most precious?
Time is like our life force.
It's our gift.
And I often think about time equated with life, right?
So when I give you my time or I give someone my time, I'm giving a part of my life that
I can never get back again.
And so because of that, I look at time very seriously and with great treasure, right?
So what's the story?
And how is time, second question, if you're doing reflection, how is time tied in with
your identity?
You see, for many years, the idea of time was busyness.
And it was almost like a badge of honor.
I'm so busy.
Maybe some of you still do that, but you need to mute yourself, please.
I'm so busy, right?
I'm so, so busy.
And this was like a badge of honor.
And this was the way that I was raised.
And so if you weren't busy, something was really wrong.
You were being lazy.
You were not being successful.
And so our whole identity is tied with how busy and how crazy our life is.
And so looking at your story about time, looking at the identity, the mindset that drives you
around time.
And here is an affirmation you might want to try.
This is one of my favorite affirmations.
I have time.
I get everything important done.
I have time.
And because what do we tell ourselves?
Normally, lack.
I don't have enough time.
There's not enough time.
I just don't have enough time.
There's not enough time.
Like we're constantly speaking lack, right?
The truth is everybody's got the same 24 hours
as long as God gives us the breath of life.
So people that run five companies, 10 companies,
people that are billionaires, people that are homeless,
everybody's got the same amount of time.
So it's not that there's a lack of time.
It's how we look at time.
And so that's a powerful.
So I'm gonna share some exciting things.
I'm also gonna make a recommendation.
I've made this recommendation many times before.
John Mark Comer wrote a beautiful book
called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.
And I recommend that book.
It's a great book if hurry is part of your identity.
I'm in a hurry.
I gotta go.
I'm in a hurry.
So it's a powerful thing.
So I have, first of all, really, really good news.
You guys have been waiting for this for a long time.
This is the, what do you call it?
The proof, okay?
For the Prosper Daily 90-Day Plan.
It is on Amazon.
It is still in review.
I imagine it'll come out today.
So I will like blast you guys
as soon as you can order on Amazon.
And we're gonna do some really fun things.
As soon as it's out and you guys get it,
I want you to do this and take a picture holding it
or using it or however, and write a review.
And I'm going to be giving some really fabulous gifts
to the people that do that.
So there's all kinds of cool things in here
and you'll be able to see it.
There's an introduction.
Linda did a beautiful job helping me with this.
I'm so excited.
So there's whole introduction and how to use it.
There's even a coloring page, guys.
Some scriptures with coloring pages
for those of you that are creative.
And there's the monthly planner.
So you can organize your month
and it's got monthly goals and your events.
And then it's got the two-page spread for each day.
So the Prosper Daily Plan that you guys know and love.
And then the other side has the schedule and the evening.
So I'm so excited that both of these are,
they're there, they're ready to go.
So it's a 90-day planner on Amazon.
Take a picture with it.
Oh good, here comes Linda.
So Linda, I'm sharing your fabulous work
about the Prosper Daily Planner, woo-hoo!
And so I assume it's in review and in the next day or so,
we're gonna be able to get people links
or is that the case?
Okay.
Yes, that is what I know.
I can check right real quick here
and see if they've taken it out of review yet.
But as far as I know, that's the plan.
So you guys, I want you to give some love
in the chat to Linda,
because she takes my rough concepts
and she turns them into pure beauty.
So give some love to Linda
and the Prosper 90-Day Planner is now going to be on Amazon.
So let's talk about why this is so important.
So we opened about talking about our story around time
and how our identity is tied in with time
and our mindset and our words.
Lack creeps into everything, right?
And so is there lack when we talk about time?
Do we wake up and saying, I didn't get enough sleep,
I don't have enough time.
And so beginning to restructure our mindset,
beginning to restructure our words
and our story around time
and creating new affirmations, new declarations,
I have time.
So one of the things that makes
the Prosper Daily Planner very unique
is that it is moving you beyond working off of a list.
And we had the conversation before I started this recording
that when we work on a list,
First of all, human nature.
Any of you guilty of this?
Do you put off the hard things?
Do any of you put off the things that somehow when you look at it,
they feel overwhelming?
This is the problem with the list because the list has got
a little sneaky aspect to it that we can be checking
our boxes and feeling like we're moving forward,
and that important thing gets moved from today to tomorrow,
to next week, to next year,
and that big project that would really move
the needle forward in your life does not get done.
This moves you beyond working from a list that doesn't have
a sense of priority to a couple of things.
First of all, every day you are making declarations,
those are the things that are non-negotiable,
you're going to do that day, I will.
Then every day you are writing your mission.
This is a reminder as to why you're here,
how you serve, what you're called to do.
You're keeping the main thing,
the main thing, and around that mission,
underneath that, you're writing down every day the goals.
The goals are related to that mission.
This is how I serve.
This is my goal around serving.
Then the method, how?
Now you take that method and you break it into 20-minute chunks.
We now have a new section.
It's got the must-do.
These are the things I must do.
Then there's the things that I delegate.
This becomes very important.
What things can I delegate?
Then delay.
What things can I put off for right now by choice,
so that I can focus on the important things?
This really moves you from working on a list to actually
working on a priority and what's important.
This is a powerful way to keep you moving.
Now, remember the question I've taught you to ask all the time.
You could build that right into this as well.
Maybe next edition, we might.
Make a note of that, Linda, it just hit me.
What is the single most important thing that I can do today?
Let me say it slow.
What is the single most important thing I can do
today to advance in the direction of my goals,
dreams, and desires?
By identifying one thing that you absolutely must do,
can you imagine if five days a week,
even your workweek, you did that one thing?
No more endless lists that keep getting longer and longer as you go.
There are 20-minute time chunk lists.
Then just add the principle to a GSDF.
GSDF, get stuff done fast.
Attack those hard things,
make a decision to get it done.
That's been one of my absolute,
I don't know, words that I'm adding to my list of words this year,
is that every time something starts, I'm training myself.
This is self-discipline,
this is self-government, this is self-leadership.
Remember, the first step of leadership is self-leadership.
If you can't govern yourself,
you can't govern others.
If you can't lead yourself,
you can't lead others.
The first step of leadership is self-leadership.
How are you leading yourself to get hard things done?
Training yourself GSDF, success loves speed.
Success loves speed.
Prosperity loves speed.
Money loves speed.
It's like get stuff done fast.
I've been really disciplining myself,
self-discipline, self-leadership,
that those things that hit me,
that I naturally want to put off because they look overwhelming.
I've had quite a few of those right away.
I've been just moving.
This is the other thing is surrounding yourself with support and help,
so that on that delegate,
that you are doing the things that are in your wheelhouse.
You're doing the things that are moving you and your business forward,
and you're delegating the things that bother you.
you down, right? And nowadays that's just so possible, okay? So get stuff done fast,
don't work off of a list, use the Prosper Daily Plan. Now, I'm also excited, I'm going to share
my screen. There's a couple other big announcements and so I'm going to share my screen
