So, welcome to this day of office hours, the Prosper Leader member office hours, I'm excited
to be here on Tuesday mornings.
And one of the things that I opened with, and it's been exciting for those of you that
are here live this morning, and you can turn your cameras on or off, it's fine, I know
many of you just turned it off, that's fine.
So one of the things that I love seeing is progress.
And this is something that we must do with ourselves.
If you have a tendency to have perfectionism in you, then one of my favorite sayings is
progress, not perfection, progress.
So many people spend so much time getting ready to get ready, getting ready to get ready,
and they don't just launch.
But the truth is the growth and the success is going to come in the action.
And so in the action is going to come improvement, because you take action and you're continuously
self-correcting.
This is the mark of a leadership that you don't stop, you don't get an analysis paralysis,
but you keep taking action.
And this is what I see in each one of you that are on the call here live.
So several things happen, you grow and your confidence grows, like none of us do anything
perfectly when we first start.
And so what I've seen in each one of you, as you've been willing to show up and let
God show out, you're growing in confidence, you're getting better and better, can I, constant
and never ending improvement.
So that is so exciting.
And then on top of that, what God started to share right before I started recording
with Antoinette, that was so beautiful, is I was congratulating her on just showing up.
She's on podcasts, she's on TV shows, like she's just doing it.
And she shared that one of the things that she learned, I think it was in the Partner
with God in Business series, is about before you start speaking, just be still that half
an hour before and invite the Holy Spirit to speak through you, to live through you.
And one of my favorite things to really realize when it comes to who we are, we're the temple,
this body, what you and I see each other in this physical dimension.
We are a container, we're the temple of the Holy Spirit.
And the Holy Spirit is always there.
And the Holy Spirit is always ready to speak.
And scripture says that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.
Scripture says that when you don't know what to say, that the Holy Spirit will give you
the exact words to say, that the Holy Spirit will show you things to come.
So John chapters 14 through 16 is all about this partnership with the Holy Spirit.
And the amazing thing is how we saw Jesus model that.
And so Antoinette started to share before we got on this call, that even if she doesn't
know what she's going to say, she gets herself quiet a half an hour before she, and she asked
the Holy Spirit to speak through her and she doesn't know what to say, but once it happens,
it's like the Holy Spirit just flows through her.
And that's such a beautiful reminder for all of us.
One of my favorite prayers is Holy Spirit live through me.
We're a vessel, we're a faucet, but we're not the water.
The Spirit is the water, the Spirit is the life, the Spirit is what's going to turn your
ordinary words into extraordinary, into life changing words.
You know, we can just speak things or we can speak words that go forth and transform.
And when the words are carried by the Holy Spirit, transformation follows.
And so to remember that we're the faucet, we're the vessel and that the water, the life,
the Spirit is that life, that power.
And so to pray and say, speak through me, live through me, love through me, whatever
you're doing, write through me, coach through me, pray through me, build through me, create
through me.
We've got these artists.
that are here, you know, just create through me.
And so now your artwork is not just artwork,
but it's spirit infused.
And those of you that are speaking, it's spirit infused.
And it's life infused.
I remember the disciples saying to Jesus,
you know, your words are life, where would we go?
Your words are life.
And so I love that you shared that.
And so as we have the Total Soul Prosperity Series,
the activation series happening the week of March 11th,
I'm gonna really break down,
how do you build a successful and a sustainable business?
Because this is the cry of people right now,
to have both the successful, it's profitable,
it's prosperous and a sustainable business.
But how do you do that with grace and ease?
How do you do that without striving,
without sacrificing, sacrificing our health,
sacrificing our relationships,
sacrificing our life force, right?
How do you do that?
And that's the purpose of this.
And so the Friday includes a section
on really how do you breathe this life
into yourself and into your business?
And so what happens is we can begin
to expect miracles in the marketplace.
God wants to take our natural,
he wants to put his super on our natural,
so that the supernatural becomes natural, right?
And so what begins to happen are miracles.
And the miracles may be what appears to be simple,
like Antoinette said,
she didn't know necessarily what she was gonna say,
I mean, she prepared, I know her, she prepares a lot,
but the flow, we activate the flow, the flow of life,
the flow of hope and inspiration,
the flow of goodness, the flow of love,
the flow of healing so that our words contain hope
and inspiration and they contain healing
comes through that way.
Your art, it's like people go, I don't know why,
but every time I look at that, I feel different.
It changes me, it transforms me.
And we know throughout history that poetry,
that writing, that art,
that what we're doing with coaching,
that business can be that.
I've had so many people say that coming to like people
that have worked for me, for example,
coming to the office was more powerful
than even going to church sometimes.
And it's because you carry this life wherever you go.
So I'm super excited what I'm seeing in each one of you.
And so as you're looking at where you are
in your business right now,
and as you're looking at the success equation
that I share so often, the success equation, right?
Which is mindset, which is huge.
Mindset, like, are you showing up with a belief of lack
that then leads to striving and desperation?
Or is your mindset one of faith, trust?
Is your mindset one of abundance?
Is your mindset, oh man, everything's a mess,
society's a mess, I don't know how we're going to make it,
I'm really afraid, I got to duck and cover, get shelter.
Or is your mindset that God is our source,
not our clients, not our business, nothing else.
If we make anything else besides God our source,
our job, our boss, our clients,
if we make anything else but God our source,
then that's idolatry.
So we've got to be really clear in our mindset.
Who am I?
What's your identity and your mindset?
How am I showing up?
Am I showing up as a victim?
Am I showing up as poor me?
Am I showing up in desperation?
Am I showing up, I'm a survivor, I got to make this work.
I'm a grinder, I'm like, how am I showing up?
Or am I showing up that I'm a daughter
of the most high God, dearly loved?
opt. Never alone. There's, like David said, there's no place I can go that God is not.
Why? Because I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit. God's in me. So if I go there, God's going there.
If I'm showing up, God's showing up. And the more that I'm open and receptive, right?
So what's the mindset? Who am I? Who is God? What's the purpose? What's my purpose? What's
the purpose of this coaching? What's the purpose of this book? What's the purpose of this art?
Why am I doing it? And am I showing up with the power of the Holy Spirit? So all of that's part
of mindset. Also, what do you do with setbacks? What do you do with disappointments? You know,
I love a friend. She says, how she say it? So what? Now what? So what? Now what? Like,
you had a bad day. Your client canceled. That didn't work. Nobody joined. Whatever.
So what? Now what? Right? And which means that we learn to shorten the disappointment and just go,
God's in this. God's working everything together for good. I'm trusting. I'm going to keep taking
the action. I'm going to keep growing. I'm going to keep learning. Right? So all of that is mindset.
So as you're going through your day, as you're preparing for your day, as you're preparing for
your talks, as you're preparing for your business, first check, how's my mindset? Did I, did I use my
Prosper Daily Planner? And did I, see if you can see it. Yeah. My Prosper Daily Planner. Did I use
that? And did I start my day? First fruit. Did I give the first fruit to God? First fruit offering.
Did I start my day getting filled up, fueled up, prepped up, practiced up, right? Pumped up. Like,
did I spend it ready to launch into a successful day? Right? All of that is mindset. So mindset
plus skillset. Okay. Now here's the thing about skills. Here's the thing about mindset. Your mind
can be renewed and scripture says we're transformed when our mind is renewed. So mindset, our mind can
be renewed. It must be renewed. Romans, right? We are transformed by the renewing of our mind. So
we've got to keep renewing. Re means do it again. New. We now know that's neuroscience. Renewing of
the mind. Renew. Creating new neural pathways. We now know this is science. Like when the Bible's
talking about renewing your mind, we now know that's, that's science. That's truth, right?
Science catches up later. Okay. So mindset plus skillset, skillset. So the mind can be renewed.
Skills can be learned. How are skills learned? You showing up and repeating and getting better and
better at it. So you showing up the first time I tried to speak, we're not born speakers. We're
not born on the stage. I mean, my kids kind of where I put them on the, on the bassinet on the
platform with me, but yeah. We're not born. These skills are developed. So what skills are you
needing to develop or hire? You got two choices, really grow that skill or hire it. Meaning what
do you need in your business? You need to be able to have a successful sales conversation,
a heart centered, non-manipulative sales conversation that converts, which means you
have to be showing up. So the skillset is you got to be showing up. You have to be lead generating.
You got to have someone to talk to. Okay. But your sales conversation. So that's why I created the
masterclasses for you in the prosper leader membership. I would listen to that successful
sales conversation and the successful sales conversation on core. I listened to that more
than once. That's a skillset. The first time I tried to do sales, I remember it. I remember it
because it was a businessman and he showed up in a suit and it freaked me out. Back then you didn't
say you worked from home. And, and so this was when I was a distributor for a network marketing
company. I hadn't founded my own. So my office was at home. So you come up with an excuse that
you're already going that way. You meet in Denny's. So I remember walking into the Denny's,
you know, the red chairs and the table, and I am so nervous and I'm meeting this businessman and
I'm going to present this product and opportunity. And I had made this notebook I had prepared with
the clear, you know, inserts. And I'd put, you know, each of the pages and I took that notebook
and I was so nervous that I flipped those pages so fast. I was fanning his face. I mean, his hair
was blowing back up. You never seen such a fast presentation. And I think I said something stupid,
like you wouldn't be interested, right? Or something like that. You see, we don't start
out perfectly. It's progress, not.
perfection. It is showing up and doing it again. And next time
doing it 1% better. So you're you're reflecting, you're going
okay, I better slow down and not fan them with those pages, right?
I was so sweaty, I couldn't show my back, I had to walk out
practically backwards, right? So I got to speak slower, right? I
got to learn and sales to listen more. So each time as a leader,
you're showing up that step one, and then you're improving by
just 1%. So skills can be learned and skills can be
improved. You need prospecting lead generation skills, you
need set, you know, successful sales presentation, you need
follow up, these are some very basic skills that you either
have to hire, or you need to get really good at. And you do that
by continuously showing up. And I know those of you on the call,
I was recognizing each one of you, because you're doing the
hard thing, you're showing up, you're you're taking action. So
it's mindset, our minds are renewed, skill set, our skills
can be learned. And we're just constantly mid course,
adjusting, can I see a and I constant never ending
improvement, action, action. Now, this, first of all, right
action, because we don't want to keep doing the same thing that's
not working 1000 times and repeating it, you know, that's
just hitting your head against the wall. So it's right action.
Okay. But this is what really is going to determine who's
successful or not, I can tell who's going to be a successful
coach. And who's not, one of the key indicators is right there in
coaching, when I'm teaching something, they're already boom,
they're already applying it, they're already texting me, hey,
I did this. Hey, I tried this. Hey, how would you do like they
are implementers, they are implementing it, right. And so
action, I often say to you, success loves speed, success
loves speed. And so it's like, cut the disappointment time and
get it done quickly. Okay, so I want you to look today at
mindset, skill set action, which of these areas is a little bit
weak right now, what do we need to buffer up as we go into the
rest of this year? Okay, so few, a few thoughts, because it's
that mindset plus skill set plus action leads to the results that
you're looking for. Okay, I'm going to pause and really
discuss that with each one of you. But God put that on my
heart today. In fact, I'm going to share one more thing. And
then I'm going to hand it to you guys to ask more questions. I
love this book. It's it's people of the word. It's 50 words that
shaped Jewish thinking. And it's just so inspirational. And guess
what, guess, guess, guess what the topic was today. I thought
I got to share this on the prosper leader call. The subject
was action. Okay, so let me find the spot here where I was today.
Okay, let's see here. Didn't market because I wasn't planning
on sharing it. But then as I'm talking, I think I should share
it. So it was on action. And the concept about it on action was
about so many of us wait until we feel like taking action,
right? We let our feelings govern like, you know, let your
heart be the guide. Okay, here it is. Um, it's the chapter
called just do it. And it's talking about how modern culture
right now, just follow your heart, do it when you feel like
it, like the action follows the feelings. And this goes in to
say not true with Judaism, Judaism considers that the
action, the feelings will often follow the action. So I love
some thoughts from this page, I'm going to just for
inspiration, and then we'll keep going. So it says the recognition
that rather than passively waiting for inspiration, to
strike one, to strike one can consciously cultivate feelings
of excitement, passion, and even pleasure for their most
important commitments through repeated action. And that's
relevant to all forms of practice, learning and mastery.
For example, many writers and musicians stress the important
of sitting down to write or practice every single day,
whether one is inspired or not, there's something about the
rhythm and regularity of the active
self that, excuse me, helps to maintain and even progressively deepen one's ability and
identification with their art form. Sometimes it's just a matter of putting pen to paper,
fingers to keys, brush to canvas, or sitting down to meditate that opens the inner channels
for inspiration to flow. Often the muses are simply hovering and waiting for us to initiate
the process. And so I really love how it says feelings can follow our actions
and we need not be slaves to our erratic emotional ups and downs. And then it goes on
to how the success follows action. So where would I apply that right now as it relates to each one
of you? One of the most important actions that needs to be done consistently every day,
and I would say even if you hire out lead generation. So I have a full-time lead generation
and I have two VAs doing lead gen. So I believe in multiplying what you do as far as
that. But even with that, and I have a full-time copywriter, even with that I personally write my
posts. So what you see on LinkedIn each day, I personally. Now I have help with AI because I know
what I'm going to say and then I get AI to clean it up and make it really better. But I'm writing
them and the discipline of showing up and posting every day. I can tell you some of you are waiting
for perfect posts and so it takes a long time and it's sporadic and you put all this time into a
post. Here's what we know about the algorithms and people's response. Consistency will really
shift the algorithms in your favor and people's heart. And the amount of impressions and
the amount of comments and the amount of views will increase the longer that you show consistency.
Consistency creates momentum of posting every single day. So when we're talking about this
action, here's what I would look at. Mindset. What's your mindset when you're showing up to post?
Are you doing what we just talked about where it's Holy Spirit right through me?
You've blessed me with the privilege of the platform. You've given me access to, you know,
billion people on the planet with technology and I get to be a conduit of your love. I get to be
an agent of transformation. So are you showing up like that? Are you showing up like I have to post
so I can get clients? No, no, no, no, no. We're not doing it to get. That will happen when you give.
Scripture says, you give the boomerang, you will receive. Press down, measured over, spilling over.
So what's your mindset when you're showing up in social media? Is it a privilege or is it I have to?
And then are you honing your craft? Are you getting better and better at writing, in particular at
storytelling? Are you getting better and better at storytelling? Okay. And are you
being consistent? Are you taking action? Consistency creates momentum. So you see how
showing up with the mindset, improving the skill set, taking consistent action. I'm just talking
about posting right now, right? Creates the results that you want. Okay. So this is so
important and it's being patient and it's having the long game in mind
because if you're looking for instant results, a lot of people, this is what we know about business
right now, a lot of people are going to hang in your ecosystem for a long time before they actually
raise their hand. So they're watching you and, but they are, they're not commenting. They're not liking.
You've got to unhitch from the praise and comments of others and keep doing what's right. And slowly
you'll have more of that. You'll start having more impressions. You'll start, it'll actually
say like on LinkedIn. So, so you're going to see that more and more and more, it's getting out to
more and more people because the algorithms, your consistency is making them get it out
as it gets out to more and more and more people comment, then you begin to see that. Okay.
So I pray it's just a quick review of the success formula today
that I believe is going to make the biggest difference.
