All right, I'm recording this for those of you that weren't able to attend this particular.
I know we've got so much going on with all the Prosper Leader members and not all of
you were able to be here live, so I'm going to record just a little bit of this so you've
got something to have you be part of it.
So we have broken into rooms and having the Prosper Sister time and the idea is supporting
each other in between calls with prayer, with text, with emails, whatever works, working
together, supporting each other.
So that is a beautiful time.
And the next thing I want to do is start with prayer and then have a little bit of a conversation
together, what God's putting on my heart, and then we'll come back and network and talk
about it together, all right?
So Father, I just give thanks for the very gift of life that you chose to give us another
day of life is the indication that there's more that needs to be done in our life purpose,
in our life destiny.
And I thank you that you are working, always working.
And I am praying for every single Prosper Sister.
So many are going through health challenges, loved ones, health challenges, financial challenges,
so much going on.
And I am asking that you strengthen them with might in their inner woman.
You strengthen them with might, Lord, that new power from the inside rises up.
New strength, new inspiration, new revelation, new power, new understanding rises up that
they'll truly know, not just in their mind, but experientially, how high, how deep, how
wide is your love.
And that you are faithful, and that you are our source of all good.
You are our source and that we can trust you and rely on you completely.
And so I'm asking that your perfect peace that passes all understanding, guards our
hearts and mind in Christ Jesus.
I ask that you speak to each woman, give her dreams, give her visions, give her fresh hope,
give her fresh healing.
In Jesus name, amen.
So what's really been on my mind and my heart is on a number of levels.
I believe that this Prosper Sisterhood, this Prosper Leader membership, when God spoke
in the initiation of starting it, and he said, gather the women, it was during COVID.
It was one of the first of the hard times that we were going to face.
And he said, we are not those who draw back in fear.
And he said, gather the women and be a voice of inspiration and encouragement and hope.
And I believe that this is going to become more and more important.
I think all of you are experiencing in one way or another, that there's a pressure.
And it's showing up in different ways for different people.
It's almost like when you're being squeezed, like wherever the weakness is that God's wanting
to strengthen, that's where it shows up.
So it may be showing up in your body.
It may be showing up in your finances.
It may be showing up in your relationships.
But there is a temptation to try to fight this in our own strength.
And we just don't have enough strength for all that's coming.
We have to lean in 100% to be absolutely clear that the Lord is our source physically, financially,
spiritually, just to absolutely lean in.
And so I'm seeing it in different ways.
So if you're experiencing the health challenges, use feelings buried alive to give you
a clue of the area that God's working on that you need to resurrender and make him your source.
Like nothing in our body is happening random. It's just not that way, right? So I've had three
people this morning that I've already talked to with a lot of back pain and back problems.
That's coming up a lot. And so just to give you an example, almost all of them was in the lower back.
Okay. And so since this keeps coming up, I'm just going to bring it up here. Okay. And so
lower back, what is that tied to? Feels unsupported financially, experiencing fear
where money is concerned, wanting to back out of something in a relationship that hurts,
running away from a situation, right? And so, and you know, for others it's hard and it has
to do with relationships, like, but this gives you a clue of what needs to be surrendered
to the Lord, right? So I believe that we're going to be going through an even more extensive
pressing, a pressing in, a more extensive that we're being squeezed. And in that squeezing,
we've got to press in even deeper, right? And so we do this on all three counts.
Like never before do we need to up the ante on our mindset, on our skillset and on our action.
Okay. So on the mindset, it's non-negotiable how you start your morning.
This has to be an absolute non-negotiable. I would like to call it priming yourself for success.
Positioning yourself to have a great day, positioning yourself to win.
Okay. If we just go into our day and we're not clothed and covered with the Holy Spirit,
we're not operating in fresh revelation. It's kind of like running out the door to your job
and you grab your briefcase and you run outside and you realize that you're naked,
you forgot to put on clothes or you're barefoot. We're trying to go without our armor. We're
trying to go without the presence of the Holy Spirit. We're trying to go in our own strength
and we're not strong enough. Right. And our brain has a natural bent. If you have not,
scripture says we're transformed by the renewing of our mind, the renewing. Okay. So it says,
do not be conformed. The word conformed is like a mold. Do not be pushed into the world's mold.
Do not be conformed by the world. Do not be crushed into the mold of the world.
But instead of that, so there's one way you can be squeezed and pressed into the mold of the world.
Do not be conformed, but be instead transformed. So it's conformed or transformed.
You're either being conformed, you're being shaped, molded, the pressures of the world.
If your finances are down, you're down. If the world is in recession, you're in recession.
You're being conformed. If the world is stressed, if the world is sick, if the world's in fear,
you're in fear. If the world's in panic, you're in panic. You're being conformed. You're being
shaped. You're allowing yourself to shape to the world or you're being transformed.
You're being transformed. How? By the renewing of your mind. Re means do again, new. Now,
we now know in neuroscience that this is a scientific fact. You've got neural pathways,
you've got neural connections, and they're like roads. And the ones that you've traveled more
often are stronger. They go from being a little path to being a three-lane highway,
a five-lane highway. They keep getting fortified and stronger so that that becomes your automatic
go-to, so that your brain just goes there automatically. And so here's the truth.
God has created, and quantum physics has showed this.
God has created this infinitely abundant world
that has infinite possibilities, infinite possibilities.
And I like to picture those
like almost like lottery balls, you know, in a lot of ways.
There's just like all these balls just like spinning.
There's infinite possibilities of how your life can go.
Whatever we focus on and give attention to,
it moves from being in a wave, just potential state,
it moves to being in a physical state.
So by giving our attention, by giving our focus,
we are creating a reality
that becomes our reality that we live.
This is the freedom of choice that God has given us, okay?
And so if we just go by default,
it's gonna go down that highway
that is more natural to your bent.
And so if that is angst, if that is worry,
if that is fear, if that is depression and sadness,
if that is shutting down, whatever it is,
that's kind of the natural bent.
You've got to renew your mind to experience differently,
which means you've got to give yourself every edge possible.
And that's how I look at it.
How can I give myself in this season every possible edge?
So I get up in the morning.
Well, before I even open my eyes in the morning,
I start going through a list of gratitude.
I put myself in a state of gratitude.
Thank you, God, that you woke me up this morning.
Thank you that I have this bed and this pillow.
Thank you that I have a warm home.
Thank you that my body is working and my mind is sound.
Thank you, you know, like everything, I don't care.
Thank you for this water as I splash my face with water.
Thank you for like, just like look out the window.
Thank you for the sunshine.
Thank you for the fresh air.
Thank you for the garden.
Thank you for like,
you just get yourself in a state of gratitude.
You're raising your frequency.
This is giving you the edge.
Like scripture's just rich on that about give thanks,
about walking in a place of gratitude
so that we've got to change our state, okay?
And so first thing, I'm gonna share with you
the things that I do to give myself the edge, okay?
So that I can, by God's grace, move my circumstances
and not have my circumstances move me
so that I can say to this mountain,
be thou removed and cast into the sea
instead of looking at the mountain and just keep hitting it
or like the Israelites circling it for 40 years, right?
So I got to give myself the edge.
So first edge is gratitude.
Second edge, I go straight to the kitchen.
I get a big glass of water.
Science has shown if you drink two or three glasses of water
first thing in the morning, you're dehydrated.
The risk of a heart attack or a stroke drops like huge,
70, 80%.
So drinking a lot of water.
And then I have a green drink that I add to the water.
It's very delicious.
And it's got a lot of things to feed and detox the body.
A lot of chlorella and spirulina
and things to like cleanse the body.
So I make myself a big green glass of water
or on alternate days, and I can give you guys brands,
anybody that you're interested in,
or on alternate, I open a can of hydrogen water, okay?
To absolutely hydrogen, okay?
So I'm drinking something right away.
And then I take qualia mind.
So after gratitude, what I'm really saying
is I'm fortifying my body for the day with supplements, okay?
And so I take qualia mind,
which is one of the best kind of nootropics I've found,
stacks of brain,
because I need my brain to be absolutely sharp.
And I don't wanna be forgetting names
and I don't wanna be groggy and I don't wanna be,
I wanna be completely laser focused and have the edge.
So I take the qualia mind.
And so then I walk into back behind here,
this chair you see behind me,
and it's my time with the Lord.
And so I start with meditation,
no less than 10 minutes of meditation.
And then I'm reading the word
and then I'm journaling and I'm reading from a good book.
So I'm having my morning spiritual practice, okay?
So now I've started with gratitude.
I've got my body starting to move in the right direction.
And now I've got my spirit.
that lined up, right. And then I've created daily habits for
success. And I've shared with you that then I've created a
habit for building and growing my business, right. So I've fed
my spirit and my body. And you know, I've mentioned that, you
know, we call that the golden hour, if you're using your
prosper daily planner, it's all laid out for you. So I've had my
golden hour and now out of the overflow, right. And this is
very important, that we start to learn how to live from the
overflow. So whether you're serving clients, or you're
getting online, or you're leading a class, whatever
you're doing, we want to have that be coming from the rivers
of living water that come out of our belly, we want we want out
of the heart flows, the issues of life, we want to be becoming
from a place of overflow and not from a depleted place, not
depleted spiritually, not depleted physically, not
depleted relationally, does that make sense? And so we're coming
from an overflow. And so then I've created the habit to get it
done first thing in the morning that once I go from the golden
hour, I go to the miracle hour, okay. And so now during that
miracle hour, I am now reaching out, okay, if you're in
business, if you don't have a steady flow of leads, then your
business is withering, it's draining, and you're going to
get yourself in a financial hard place, you must have a continual
source of leads. And networking is the best way. Now at the
beginning of the call, I was talking with Antoinette, and she
does really well in live. And so she's doing all these live
networking events. And because she's been showing up and doing
that, then she's getting lots of speaking opportunities. And so
then we talked about how to really harvest those speaking
opportunities to build relationships to get cards to be
following up, okay. So whether you're networking, you know,
live, which I encourage in the season that you're out in your
community, and you're networking worldwide, on the
worldwide web, we have been privileged, we've been
privileged with platforms, the privilege of the platform to be
able to touch lives. Now, I want you to look at that, that at the
other side, these people you're reaching out to are real human
beings. And they are hurting, and they're struggling, and
they're in fear, just like you are. So I want you showing up
very authentically. And with a win, win, win, in mind, you're
not showing up live at the networking or online to get. And
I want you to get this distinction. If you're still in
a level of consciousness, that thinks the answers for your
happiness, for your health, for your financial well being are
outside, and you need to get something, I just need to get
clients, I just need to get money, I just need to get a man,
I just need to get, if you're still looking at life that way,
then you've given your power away. And you've given it
outside of yourself where you have no control. Okay, God hasn't
called us to live from the outside in, he didn't put us in
the world to get it's not that's not scripture. He has taught us
to live from the inside out, out of the heart flow, the issues of
life out of your belly will flow rivers of living water, I have
the Spirit of God in me, I have the mind of Christ in me, right.
And so I'm hitting at him, he's in me. So I must come from
releasing, and I'm activating the flow by giving what's in me.
So I'm coming from this place of how can I serve? How can I
support you, but I'm not coming from my root, okay, some of you
that are over givers, okay. Because you're doing it from a
place of not enoughness, that I hope I'll be liked, I'll hope
I'll be loved, I'll hope I'll get things if I just give and
give and give and give and you deplete yourself, and you get
physically sick and weak. Okay, that's not what I'm talking
about not giving from your root, giving from your fruit. So
that's why I say after the golden hour, I'm pouring out in
the miracle hour. Now, when you
show up. You've got several options. First of all, the first thing you're going to do is post
value. That's your gift. I'm going to share tools, starting on Thursday, some AI tools to make it
even better. I've got an AI tool I'm using for my LinkedIn post that really gives you a leg up.
I'll talk about that. But you're going to really show up. And I've already given you, as far as
what we're doing as far as the posts, the nurture posts and the how-to posts, the inspiration hope
posts, the called action posts. So I'm not going to get into that right here, right now. But that's
the first thing is you're releasing your gift that way. Then, secondly, you're giving what you
want to receive. So you're going in and giving likes and you're engaging. And your engagement
needs to be at least six words to catch the algorithm. So the way that the engagement is,
is at, and their name, and then you talk about the post directly. Give them genuine feedback.
Even pull from the post what you like that they said. Add value to it. If you have
some hope or inspiration or how-to, you can throw it in there. And what this is doing is, first of all,
reciprocity. You're giving what you want to receive. And so you're starting a relationship
with that person. They're going to notice you because you're giving to them and you're blessing
them. I would do half of those, your ideal clients, and half of those that would be really good
partners. You know, referral partners or collaboration partners or whatever. So
you're going to kind of have, but that's the second part. So you've given your post, then you've
gone in there, and now you're going to go in and you're going to DM. And you're
going to be adding so that you're constantly increasing your pipeline. So you're
adding 10 to 20 people. And just click connect if we're talking LinkedIn.
Add friends if we're talking Facebook. But on LinkedIn, so just click connect. Don't leave
a note. Just connect. People aren't reading the notes anyway, and it makes it look more desperate.
Just connect. Then 24 hours later, come back and give a very genuine note. And the note
should be starting conversation. So what I'd like you to see as you're doing this is the connection
that it's the same as if you went into a networking. How would you connect in a networking
event, right? Hopefully you would ask a lot of questions, get to know them, listen, share parts
of yourself, and look for ways to connect and collaborate. Then it just becomes a very simple
invitation. Hey, I haven't gotten to know you yet. Are you open to a 15-minute connect call?
And this just lets you connect and get to know each other. And the connect call has the purpose
of how can we collaborate or refer to each other or work together? So one of the things you might
get, because there's so much spamminess out there, is they may say, hey, I'm not looking for a coach.
I get that all the time. I'm not looking to work with someone. And I always go, I get it. But there's
many ways that we can support each other. It might be through referrals. It might be through
collaboration. It might be, OK, Natalie, we'll see you. Oh, wow, it's already 8 o'clock. Dang.
OK, so I want to bring this up to you real quick, is that it's as if you are networking in a live
event, OK? And so this has really opened doors for me, for people that were saying, no, I'm not looking
for a coach. I go, that's great. There's many ways we can connect beyond just coaching. I love creating
referral strategies, collaboration strategies. Let's get to know each other and see what's
possible. And they say yes. And I'm finding phenomenal things. I just had one woman, she's been
a coach for, I don't know, close to 20 years. She's got a very large network. She's got a wonderful
membership site. And so I came from the place of serving. How can I support you? I listened for the
most of the call, asking questions. I said, show me. Show me your membership. Show me what you're doing.
Show me. Let me so I know how to support you and refer. And then in the last few minutes, I
showed her what I had. And I said, what's the most support? What do you need?
How can I best support you? And she said, actually, you've got a lot of materials. If you'd be
willing to share materials in my membership site, especially in the area of lead generation or sales.
or marketing. Mine's all in the mindset area. I don't have enough of that. I'd love to have you
bring your materials in. It'll be linked to you and your bio and everything.
So I'm going to be doing that. But I want you to think about that for the moment.
What did that just do? One conversation with a heart to serve just opened up her entire network
to me. I just expanded my network by however many thousands that she's built over 20 years.
Does that make sense? So I want you coming from the attitude not to get something, but to give,
create, win, win, win, win strategies and network online. Okay. So mindset, got myself started,
physically, spiritually, relationally, skillset. I am constantly networking online and offline,
and you're keeping track. Are you making offers every single day? Whether it's in a post, whether
it's in an email, whether it's in a text message, whether it's in your follow-up, are you making
offers every day, right? So that your business is growing. Why do I emphasize that right now?
Because as we're going into this big squeeze, you've got to be spiritually and physically strong.
That's the mindset. As we're going into this squeeze, you've got to be strong in your business
that you've got a lot of leads. You've got a lot of collab and referral and relationships and
support and ways of giving and serving. And you're making offers so that your business is not drying
up. I learned years ago in network marketing, it was like a gas gauge. I learned this like 30 years
ago, right? But it's like, if you are like building and growing, let's see for you, I think it'd be
reversed. Is this full this way? I know that it's mirror. Does this look like full or empty?
Is this full? This is full. Okay. All right. So imagine your tank full. I can't tell with the
mirror image, but imagine your tank full, right? This is that you're in a building mode. You're
active. You're adding new leads, new clients, new sales conversations, new offers, new posts,
new newsletters. Like you're in a building mode, right? And if you slip into maintaining,
which is where many people slip from building to maintaining, you're really close to the next
thing, which is dying and empty. You can't stay here. You're either growing and expanding and
building, or as you slip into maintaining, your business is going to start shrinking. You're going
to lose people. You're going to, right? So this is why it's so important. So mindset, skill set. I'm
talking right now, the skill set of networking. On Thursday, I'm going to talk about the skill set
of shortening the timeframe and the tools with AI, as well as continuing to talk about the shifts
that we have to make. Part two. Okay. So mindset, skill set, action. Okay. Right action, which is
lead generation, follow up, supporting your clients. That's your business. You're generating
new leads. You're following up with existing ones and you're serving the ones that you have,
right? So right action. Does that help? Does that give you a sense of just making sure
what I'm trying to say is fortify yourself in this season, fortify yourself in this season.
It's not a time to draw back in fear. It's not a time to slip into just allowing it to kind of
exist where it is. This is a time to massively grow that you rise in this storm, but you're
doing that from the overflow, not from a place of burnout. Does that help? Does that make sense?
Okay. I'm going to open it up for quick conversation and then we'll go from there.
