WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.640 All right, welcome, welcome, welcome to day four. 2 00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.600 We've been working through the Prosper System, P-R-O-S-P-E-R, the Prosper System. 3 00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:17.340 The first day, day one, was about partnering with God. 4 00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:20.400 It was about bold faith. 5 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:25.520 Our whole series this time is stepping into the boldness, right? 6 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:30.960 And so it was about bold faith, bold prayers, bold action, bold mindsets, right? 7 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:38.520 That was the P. The R is about renewing the mind, right? 8 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.080 Psalms 23 says, he restores my soul. 9 00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:45.520 The soul is the mind, will, and emotions, right? 10 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.560 Third John 2, which is what the name, my name of the company, Prosper and All Things, is 11 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:56.920 based on, Third John 2, that says, beloved above all, I pray you prosper in all things, 12 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:07.440 physically, financially, relationally, spiritually, prosper in all things, even as your soul prospers. 13 00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:09.320 The soul is the mind, will, and emotions. 14 00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:10.640 So you get this. 15 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:16.720 As we are renewing our mind, we're prospering, right? 16 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:18.240 And it's total soul prosperity. 17 00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:22.560 So day two was about a bold mindset. 18 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:29.080 And day three is the O. It's about opening the flow, right? 19 00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:41.160 It was about bold circulation, learning to understand how to circulate in order to create 20 00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:47.700 big shifts, opening the flow where you've been coagulated, stuck, constipated, right? 21 00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:50.180 So I'm so thrilled that you're back. 22 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:52.700 Welcome, welcome, welcome back. 23 00:01:52.700 --> 00:02:05.940 So today is the S, is the S. And the S is about simplifying to scale, simplifying to 24 00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:09.419 be able to grow, simplifying. 25 00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:21.180 And that simplification is about clearing space, about clearing space for what really, 26 00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:24.220 really matters, right? 27 00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:26.700 It's about stewardship. 28 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:34.980 It's about stewarding our time, stewarding our energy, stewarding our resources, right? 29 00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:37.940 Psalms 90, one of my favorite psalms. 30 00:02:37.940 --> 00:02:40.060 It's a prayer of Moses. 31 00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:49.980 And Psalms 90 says, teach me to number my days that I might have a heart of wisdom. 32 00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:54.300 That's going to be our prayer today as I start with prayer. 33 00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:57.020 Teach me to number my days. 34 00:02:57.020 --> 00:03:04.820 You see, so often we don't do that. 35 00:03:04.820 --> 00:03:15.740 We give up, we abdicate our God-given power of choice to choose how we will allocate. 36 00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:17.500 It's a big word. 37 00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:18.900 I love this word. 38 00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:22.380 It's used in the financial sector very often, allocate. 39 00:03:22.380 --> 00:03:24.180 Where am I going to allocate funds? 40 00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:30.220 How much is stocks, bonds, you know, et cetera, precious metals, allocation. 41 00:03:30.220 --> 00:03:34.500 It's a big word using our God-given choice. 42 00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:39.620 How are you going to allocate what God has given you? 43 00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:42.020 How are you going to allocate your time? 44 00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:50.500 You're given 24 hours a day for as long as God gives, you know, breath in your lungs 45 00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:52.060 and your heart beating. 46 00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:55.500 How are you going to allocate the use of your time? 47 00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:57.460 This is about intentionality. 48 00:03:57.460 --> 00:03:59.740 This is about choice. 49 00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:03.380 How are you going to allocate your energy? 50 00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:07.100 How are you going to allocate your resources? 51 00:04:07.100 --> 00:04:18.300 This is about, and write this down, it's about building by design, deliberate choice-making, 52 00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:21.260 conscious choice-making. 53 00:04:21.260 --> 00:04:29.420 You could write those words down as well, conscious choice-making. 54 00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:34.380 And so how are we going to allocate? 55 00:04:34.380 --> 00:04:38.660 And throughout this series, we've been breaking down the lies. 56 00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:46.620 And so when it comes to simplifying, we've got to break a deeply embedded lie. 57 00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:54.580 And it's the hustle culture lie that I, and I picked this up, we inherit this. 58 00:04:54.580 --> 00:05:00.060 We inherit these beliefs that then we think about over. 59 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.000 and over and over to make them part of our life, that then we put feeling around them. 60 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.200 So we get these beliefs. Maybe we get the belief that I don't have enough money, 61 00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:21.360 or I'm going to run out of money. Maybe you inherited the belief that money was very scarce. 62 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:34.400 Okay, let me know if you're going to mute, because if I didn't notice that, 63 00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:40.000 I'd be talking to myself right now, team. Somebody muted me. Okay. It just says the 64 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.360 host muted me. I've been just going, it wasn't me. It wasn't me. I promise. Okay. 65 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.200 Anyway, let's start with prayer. I'm going to get off track already. All right. 66 00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:56.880 Father God, I just ask that today you speak boldly, that we listen boldly, that you open 67 00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:08.160 our spiritual senses to hear what you are saying for this season, for our lives. May we hear, 68 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.320 and may we apply. May we not be like the scripture of the man that looks in the mirror, 69 00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:19.600 sees that there's something off in the mirror, and then walks away without doing anything. May 70 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:27.360 we never be like that, that we're just consumers, passive consumers. May we receive of this word, 71 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:34.640 may we meditate, may we apply, may we step into bold action, that there be transformation, 72 00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:39.680 Father, that your kingdom be advanced, that lives be changed, that people be healed, 73 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.840 that businesses be raised, that glorify you. I ask Lord that you speak through me, 74 00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:55.200 and that you speak boldly in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Okay. So I don't know where I was before 75 00:06:55.200 --> 00:07:04.320 I got muted, but let's go. So we're breaking down lies. We inherited these beliefs, like 76 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:15.440 money is hard. And nobody had to say anything. I just had to grow up every day and see my dad at 77 00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:26.000 the crack of dawn in the office, and all his days in the office, sacrificing his health, 78 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:32.960 sacrificing his marriage. No one had to tell me, hey, eat this belief. 79 00:07:33.760 --> 00:07:43.520 As children, that's what we do. And so I got deeply embedded that if you're going to get 80 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.880 something, you need to work 60, 80 hours a week. You need to work harder than the next guy. You 81 00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:56.800 need to be a driver. You need to push. You need to be relentless. Money is hard. Money is scarce. 82 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:03.200 What if I run out? You might take it from a different standpoint. You might think that 83 00:08:03.200 --> 00:08:10.960 because everything's scarce, money is scarce. I can't share. I can't give. We talked about, 84 00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:18.400 I need to just breathe in. So I don't have enough. I got to hold on to. Whereas we saw scripturally, 85 00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:25.440 the generous man prospers. The generous woman prospers. So we got these lines that we need 86 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:35.440 to sacrifice. My dad used to say, I can sleep when I'm dead. He would make me up as a kid. 87 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:42.000 I mean, crack of dawn, I'd be awake. And I mean, we're talking school age. I'm eight years old 88 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:48.720 or whatever. And he'd get up. You can't make any money sleeping. I wasn't making any money. I was 89 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:58.400 eight years old. But the programming, the programming. So the programming runs so deep 90 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:06.880 where we basically, what we're talking about today, we just fill, fill, fill, fill, fill. 91 00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:10.880 Whether it's with stuff, whether it's with distractions, whether it's with clutter, 92 00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:17.840 whether it's with worry and fear, but we, we fill, fill, fill, fill, fill. So there's no room 93 00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:25.200 for what God has. Okay. So we're breaking down those lies today. 94 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:35.600 Now, awareness is the first step to transformation. So the first thing is to become aware, 95 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:42.080 how conscious are you using, how conscious are you of how you're spending, how you're allocating 96 00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:51.120 your time, how conscious of you, how you're allocating your energy. And one of the ways, 97 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:59.120 I do this with the prosper leader members. One of the ways I do this is to have you do a time study. 98 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.400 time study. And yes, I love that. Thank you for writing that, Doreen. Awareness is the 99 00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:17.440 first step to transformation. And so the key here is to become aware because only until 100 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.720 you know where you are and you have clarity where you're going, do you know the changes 101 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:29.480 that you need to make, right? And so we do a time study. Now, this is really simple. 102 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:36.000 You can do this yourself. We can give you the template. Hopefully we have that template, 103 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:43.160 Linda, in the Prosper Leader, in the Coach Accountable, that it just breaks down every 104 00:10:43.160 --> 00:10:49.840 half an hour for a time study. And so you just carry it around with you every day. And 105 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.120 so you wake up and what did you do the first 30 minutes? You're just carrying this piece 106 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:59.360 of paper and you're writing down what you're doing every half an hour. And at the end of 107 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:07.840 the day, you're looking at it. And where did the time go? Do any of you have the experience 108 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:15.880 that you start to Google something or do something on your phone and or you go to post on social 109 00:11:15.880 --> 00:11:21.920 media and do you ever get in the time suck where all of a sudden you look in your clock 110 00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:26.840 and you're like, what the heck? I was just here for 30 minutes. I was just here for an 111 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:34.600 hour. Any of you write time suck in that if this happens to you, it's like a it's like 112 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:41.720 a vacuum and it just robbed you of 30 or 60 minutes. Right. OK. A whole bunch of you are 113 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:51.080 relating. So that's just one example is scrolling. It could be for you Netflix series. It could 114 00:11:51.080 --> 00:12:01.440 be for you. You know, there's it could be anything. The key is conscious choice making. 115 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.520 So the first thing is awareness. Where am I spending my time and am I honoring God with 116 00:12:07.520 --> 00:12:13.120 the very breadth of my life, the gift, the energy, the day that he gave me? And it starts 117 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:20.520 like Psalms 90, like Moses prayed, teach me to number my days. This is something maybe 118 00:12:20.520 --> 00:12:29.360 because I've lost so many loved ones. I've lost so many. I've lost brothers, sisters, 119 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:35.800 nephews, nieces, you know, just on and on. Parents, grandparents. I have lost friends, 120 00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:46.680 best friends, so many people. That I have a keen sense of the finiteness of life. And 121 00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:54.240 so for me, I have a deep, deep, deep awareness. I hate waste. Anybody that knows me, I hate 122 00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:00.960 waste and wasting time is one of the biggest that I hate. Now, that doesn't mean I don't 123 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:09.280 have fun or I don't relax. It means conscious allocation. Now, let me share how I came to 124 00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:16.520 this story. Let me share a story how I came to this perspective and what I've really learned. 125 00:13:16.520 --> 00:13:24.800 When I was a founder of a nutritional network marketing corporation, I was a bit of a maniac. 126 00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:33.320 I have a lot of energy and I've learned to squeeze a lot in a day. I can do more in a day than many 127 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:40.600 people can do in a week. Any overachievers in the house, anybody relates to me. I like before 128 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:46.360 college days, my girlfriend that I was my college roommate reminded me that even in college, I would 129 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:54.680 have like everything down to 15 minute chunks, you know? And so I could pack so much that here I was 130 00:13:54.800 --> 00:14:02.240 running an international multi-seven figure company and a non-profit and I was homeschooling 131 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:08.800 all three kids writing my own curriculum and I was running a homeschool speech and debate club 132 00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:16.880 with all of that coaching and traveling everywhere, right? And I was running a Bible study and I was 133 00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:22.480 focusing on staying in shape and going to the gym every day and I was spending time with the Lord. 134 00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:29.160 I was like just putting in like, you know, they say burning the the candle at both ends, 135 00:14:29.160 --> 00:14:41.960 burning the midnight oil, right? And so I would work all week and every weekend. I usually spoke 136 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:49.720 somewhere. I jumped on a plane and traveled and spoke somewhere every weekend. So literally 24-7 137 00:14:49.760 --> 00:14:58.240 I was working on top of juggling all these other things and the Lord began to speak to me about 138 00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.440 this topic. 139 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.960 and conscious choice-making. 140 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:08.960 I then said, I'm only gonna work one weekend a month. 141 00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:14.320 This is about breaking down the lies. 142 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.500 I cut out three weekends a month. 143 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.640 The company income grew, my income grew. 144 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:26.600 And then I said, I'm gonna take a Wednesday off every week. 145 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.800 I'm gonna create margin, create space. 146 00:15:31.800 --> 00:15:35.220 So I started taking Wednesdays off every week. 147 00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:39.860 The company income grew, my income grew. 148 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.120 You see this lie that work is hard, that money is hard, 149 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.120 that you've gotta sacrifice everything, 150 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.720 that you've gotta strive, that you've gotta work 24 seven. 151 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.960 That's not true. 152 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:56.960 How many of you know somebody that works so hard 24 seven 153 00:15:57.800 --> 00:15:58.880 and they're still broke?

229 00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:27.340 And what would it take to boldly simplify 230 00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:30.900 and create space for God to move? 231 00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:34.300 When we're overwhelmed, distracted, or busy 232 00:19:34.300 --> 00:19:39.220 with the wrong things, we crowd out room for God's best. 233 00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:44.220 So bold moves often start with letting go, 234 00:19:44.300 --> 00:19:49.300 simplifying, focusing on the one thing that truly matters. 235 00:19:52.540 --> 00:19:56.980 Now, Gary Keller wrote the book, The One Thing. 236 00:19:56.980 --> 00:20:00.020 And it's not that you're only doing one thing. 237 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.560 is that you're only doing one thing at a time, 238 00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:05.960 and you're doing one thing at a time 239 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.320 in the different areas of your life, 240 00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:13.320 but you have clarity to know what that thing is, right? 241 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.480 And so we're gonna talk about the one thing 242 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:17.820 and how to use that. 243 00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:21.320 We're also gonna talk about 10X is easier than 2X. 244 00:20:21.320 --> 00:20:23.320 Those are two books on this subject 245 00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:24.720 that are really powerful. 246 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:29.720 The one thing and 10X is easier than 2X. 247 00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:32.640 By Dr. Benjamin Hardy. 248 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.600 So the key thing is, 249 00:20:34.600 --> 00:20:38.120 bold simplification isn't just doing less 250 00:20:38.120 --> 00:20:40.520 for the sake of doing less. 251 00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:42.840 No, that's not intentionality. 252 00:20:42.840 --> 00:20:44.840 That's not conscious choice-making. 253 00:20:44.840 --> 00:20:47.280 It's about intentionally. 254 00:20:47.280 --> 00:20:48.120 In your study guide, 255 00:20:48.120 --> 00:20:50.560 you could circle that word intentionally. 256 00:20:50.560 --> 00:20:52.680 This is you taking back your power. 257 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.680 This is you choosing to do with your life 258 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.280 and to God's glory intentionally 259 00:21:00.280 --> 00:21:03.480 making space for what's most important. 260 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.160 Making space for what's most important. 261 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.060 Simplifying our life takes boldness and intentionality. 262 00:21:12.060 --> 00:21:13.880 So it's both of those. 263 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:17.000 It's courage, boldness, and intentionality. 264 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.160 It means releasing the expectations 265 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.060 of what others think we should be doing. 266 00:21:21.060 --> 00:21:23.160 We talked about that before. 267 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.080 And courageously building our life 268 00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:30.000 by design aligned with our values 269 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.760 and his will for our life. 270 00:21:32.760 --> 00:21:36.880 And I like Matthew 537, a simple yes or no. 271 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.200 Let your yes be yes. 272 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.040 Let your no be no, right? 273 00:21:42.040 --> 00:21:46.920 Okay, so we start looking at the one thing 274 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:51.400 and we start looking at some, 275 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.280 Gary Keller uses GPS. 276 00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:57.080 It's a good little acronym, GPS. 277 00:21:57.080 --> 00:22:01.960 Our goals, our priorities, and our strategies. 278 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:06.960 So we have to have clarity around our goals. 279 00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:12.060 We have to have clarity around the desires of our heart, 280 00:22:12.060 --> 00:22:16.280 our vision and mission. 281 00:22:16.280 --> 00:22:19.860 We have to have clarity around our goals. 282 00:22:19.860 --> 00:22:22.400 That's why we saw Jesus would always say, 283 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.120 what do you desire, right? 284 00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:28.960 Elijah would say, what do you desire? 285 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:30.320 Like, where are we going? 286 00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:32.240 What are we trying to create? 287 00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:37.800 And it's a matter of taking the big picture, 288 00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:43.600 the big goal, and then breaking it down 289 00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:47.960 into little subsets that we can knock off 290 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.480 and it can be done. 291 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.900 So you say, what's the goal for this year? 292 00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:56.440 Like, what's the goal for 10 years? 293 00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:57.920 What's the goal for five years? 294 00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.920 What's the goal for this year? 295 00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:03.080 What's the goal for this year? 296 00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:07.680 Okay, if I was gonna hit that in 12 months, 297 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:09.680 what's the goal each month? 298 00:23:11.560 --> 00:23:15.000 Okay, if that's the goal for this month, 299 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.380 what's the goal for each week? 300 00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:21.480 So you're continuously keeping the goal in front of you. 301 00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:27.660 So part of this simplicity is to have a very clear vision, 302 00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:35.420 have a very clear that you can see the goal 303 00:23:36.060 --> 00:23:40.020 and it's in alignment with what God's calling you to 304 00:23:40.020 --> 00:23:42.280 and it moves you. 305 00:23:42.280 --> 00:23:45.900 The goal can be the way that your living space looks. 306 00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:49.360 The goal can be the way your finances look. 307 00:23:49.360 --> 00:23:52.700 The goal can be the way your relationships look. 308 00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:55.500 The goal can be the way your body. 309 00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:57.400 We need a vision for all of those. 310 00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:59.620 We need a vision for our business. 311 00:23:59.620 --> 00:24:02.380 This is where I come in as a business coach. 312 00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:05.260 We need a vision for our health. 313 00:24:05.260 --> 00:24:09.060 We need a vision for our relationships. 314 00:24:09.060 --> 00:24:13.420 You know, when I started homeschooling my three kids, 315 00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:15.980 which I did all the way till college, 316 00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:18.400 I started with a vision, right? 317 00:24:19.540 --> 00:24:23.380 You know, Stephen Covey says, start with the end in mind. 318 00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:24.800 So I thought, okay, 319 00:24:24.800 --> 00:24:27.940 after I've taught these kids all the way through, 320 00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:30.520 what am I leaving them with? 321 00:24:30.520 --> 00:24:33.580 I desired for them to have a strong foundation, 322 00:24:33.580 --> 00:24:36.660 a biblical foundation of knowing God. 323 00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:40.080 I desired for them to be very well-read. 324 00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:41.960 Okay? 325 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.320 And I desired for them to be able to communicate 326 00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:47.720 in writing, in speaking. 327 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.160 So I knew that if they left with the foundation of the Lord, 328 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.880 and they were well-read, 329 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.200 so they were not narrow in their thinking, 330 00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:59.840 and they could speak, and they could read, 331 00:24:59.840 --> 00:25:00.680 and they could learn, 332 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.000 So I started with that vision, and then each year had a goal, and then each month, and we would break it down. 333 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.040 and they could do all the things that they wanted to do. 334 00:25:03.040 --> 00:25:08.040 I knew that if they left with the foundation of the Lord, 335 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.000 And that was the end fruit. 336 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:16.000 So you start with your business, and you start with the end in mind. 337 00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:22.000 Why are you doing all this work? If you're just working for money, it's the worst reason in the whole world. 338 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.000 That's old, stinking thinking based on lack. 339 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.000 That's making your business your source. 340 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:34.000 God is your source. Your business is your opportunity to give of your gifts, 341 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:40.000 to steward your gifts, to create transformation, to bless the world. 342 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:46.000 And it should be fulfilling for you and transformational for whoever you're working with, right? 343 00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:51.000 And so we're not working from a place of lack. 344 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.000 There's no lack in the kingdom of God. 345 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:57.000 God is a lavish, abundant. 346 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:05.000 My parents came out of the depression, and so there was this constant fear of running out. 347 00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.000 And we get that. How many of you inherit that? 348 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:13.000 I have a fear of just running out. I'm not going to have enough money. 349 00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:17.000 I'm not going to have enough time. I'm not going to. 350 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:29.000 And so what happens is we take that belief that we inherited about lack, right, about scarcity, not enoughness. 351 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:38.000 We take that belief that we inherited, and until we renew our mind, that drives our thoughts. 352 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.000 So then we think about it all the time. 353 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:46.000 How many of you have a belief? Let's just say a belief around scarcity and lack. 354 00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:53.000 How many of you inherited money is in short supply, money is scarce, money is lacked? 355 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:59.000 Did any of you inherit that belief? Put scarce in the chat or in the Facebook group. 356 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.000 Scarce. Did you grow up that money is scarce? 357 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.000 Did you grow up with that? 358 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.000 Okay, so now watch what happens. 359 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.000 You grow up with that, okay? 360 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.000 Now watch what happens. 361 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.000 How many of you think those thoughts many times a day? 362 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:22.000 Do thoughts of how things are scarce come into your mind many, many times? 363 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.000 So we go from a belief, we think about it all the time. 364 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:31.000 Put thoughts. If you think multiple times about scarcity, I don't have enough. 365 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.000 I won't have enough. I'm going to run out. 366 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:36.000 There's not going to be enough. 367 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.000 What am I going to do? Put thoughts in the chat. 368 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:47.000 If you have thoughts of scarcity, this is where renewing the mind, what I taught you how to renew the mind, right? 369 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.000 So we have these thoughts of scarcity, okay? 370 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.000 And then what happens? This is, remember I taught you the mind, heart, mouth connection. 371 00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.000 Then what happens? 372 00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.000 You get the feeling. 373 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.000 Oh, how many of you know the feeling? 374 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:10.000 Can you tap right now that feeling of not enoughness? 375 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:13.000 I don't have enough. I'm going to run out. I can't pay. 376 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:16.000 I don't know how I'm going to, what happens if? 377 00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:22.000 And we start getting into the anxiety and we start, then that drives our behavior. 378 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.000 I better not give. I better hold on. 379 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.000 I better strive. I better work. 380 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:31.000 I better not share. I better not. 381 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.000 You see how this builds out our life. 382 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.000 Do you see how this is working? 383 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.000 That's why this whole series is so important. 384 00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:41.000 It starts day one, P. It's about partnering with God. 385 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.000 First of all, we got to get clear. 386 00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.000 God is the source. Everything else is a resource. 387 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:51.000 And God has said so many times, you shall never lack. 388 00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:54.000 The Lord is my shepherd. 389 00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:57.000 That word shepherd also means best friend, by the way. 390 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.000 The Lord is my shepherd, my best friend. 391 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.000 I will always have enough. I will never lack. 392 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.000 I shall not want, by the way, is the original language. 393 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.000 I shall not want. 394 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.000 Hey. 395 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.000 So. 396 00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:20.000 This is what's so powerful. 397 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.000 As you begin to shift. 398 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:26.000 That God is my source. 399 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.000 And I will never lack. 400 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.000 You begin to open the channels for the resources. 401 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.000 God is the source. Everything else is a resource. 402 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.000 If you think your business is your source, that's idolatry. 403 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.000 That's putting it above God. That's going to fail. 404 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.000 If you think the government is your source, or your spouse is your source, 405 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.000 or your job is your source, that's idolatry. 406 00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.000 Your retirement is your source. That's idolatry. 407 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.000 God, there's one source. 408 00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.000 Everything else is a resource. And guess what? 409 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.840 God can make resources, he can make water come out of rocks, 410 00:30:04.040 --> 00:30:09.200 he can make manna come out of sky, he can bring people and resources. 411 00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:13.320 I've experienced this time and time again, places you never dreamt. 412 00:30:13.520 --> 00:30:17.200 It seems like it comes out of the rocks sometimes. 413 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:22.360 When we get our thinking right, we partner with God, we renew our mind. 414 00:30:22.560 --> 00:30:25.920 We get to break down this this stinking thinking. 415 00:30:26.120 --> 00:30:26.920 Right. 416 00:30:27.120 --> 00:30:30.200 And then we learn to open the flow. 417 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:34.400 We learned yesterday, we learn to add value. 418 00:30:34.600 --> 00:30:37.120 And by the way, I want to pause right here, 419 00:30:37.320 --> 00:30:40.480 I want to congratulate those of you that are really applying. 420 00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:46.600 I heard through the grapevine that some of you immediately after the call met 421 00:30:46.800 --> 00:30:50.720 together and did your twenty five ways to add value. 422 00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:55.280 I want to know anybody in the house is applying what I'm teaching. 423 00:30:55.280 --> 00:30:56.480 You did your list. 424 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.360 Twenty five ways to add value. 425 00:30:58.560 --> 00:31:00.320 I want to know anyone in the house is 426 00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:05.240 applying because what we talked about is not just being a consumer. 427 00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.600 God is moving you from being a consumer. 428 00:31:07.600 --> 00:31:09.360 That's part of your programming, too. 429 00:31:09.560 --> 00:31:15.600 You consume, consume, you consume information, you consume consumer goods. 430 00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:17.440 That's why they're called consumer goods. 431 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.520 You consume too much food. 432 00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:21.120 You consume too much sugar. 433 00:31:21.320 --> 00:31:23.480 You consume too much media. 434 00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.640 We've been programmed to be consumers. 435 00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:29.960 We're shifting that up today. 436 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.680 We're not consumers, we're producers. 437 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.600 Out of us flow rivers of living water. 438 00:31:36.800 --> 00:31:38.880 The spirit of God lives in us. 439 00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:40.240 We have the mind of Christ. 440 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:44.080 We're called to release the gifts within us. 441 00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:47.600 We're called to use these gifts to speak. 442 00:31:47.800 --> 00:31:49.680 Let God speak through you to write. 443 00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:51.680 Let God write through you to teach. 444 00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.720 Let God teach through you to create. 445 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:58.920 Let God create through you to paint, to build, to. 446 00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:04.600 We're called to be producers, not consumers. 447 00:32:04.800 --> 00:32:10.440 Okay, so if we're going to keep our priorities straight. 448 00:32:13.320 --> 00:32:16.480 Is I love this, how God's working on all this. 449 00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:20.720 Number one, if we're going to start simplifying and clear space. 450 00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.760 Number one, first fruit. 451 00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:25.960 First priority. 452 00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:27.560 Who's first in your life? 453 00:32:27.760 --> 00:32:30.160 Does it show in your time? 454 00:32:30.360 --> 00:32:37.120 That's the golden hour that is in the Prosper Daily Planner and team. 455 00:32:37.320 --> 00:32:39.760 Put that link.

532 00:37:01.600 --> 00:37:04.360 That God, please bless this, please help my kids, 533 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:06.360 please give me money, please get me this job, 534 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:09.760 please keep me safe driving, okay, amen. 535 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:12.740 That's not relationship, okay?

539 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.240 What is it you want me to understand today? 540 00:37:24.240 --> 00:37:26.520 What is it you want me to do today? 541 00:37:26.520 --> 00:37:29.960 And Lord, I've got this question around this, 542 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.680 around my business, around a relationship, 543 00:37:32.680 --> 00:37:35.160 around a struggle that I'm having. 544 00:37:35.160 --> 00:37:37.160 Can you talk to me about that? 545 00:37:37.160 --> 00:37:40.860 Can you give me wisdom in that area? 546 00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:46.920 And then I write, and God writes through, 547 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.200 and it's very, very powerful. 548 00:37:50.200 --> 00:37:54.480 That's part of the morning routine, okay? 549 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:59.120 So all of that is outlined in the top part 550 00:37:59.120 --> 00:38:01.160 of the Prosper Daily Planner. 551 00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:06.160 Then we have to get clear in these other areas. 552 00:38:07.080 --> 00:38:11.040 So what's the one thing that by doing so 553 00:38:11.040 --> 00:38:14.640 will make all the other things easier or unnecessary? 554 00:38:14.640 --> 00:38:18.340 So maybe it's in your health. 555 00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:19.960 What's the one thing, Lord, 556 00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:24.000 if I just focus on one thing and I make a new habit, 557 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.440 I create a new habit around that one thing 558 00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:32.160 that will make everything else easier or unnecessary? 559 00:38:32.160 --> 00:38:35.720 Maybe it's walking, gonna walk every day. 560 00:38:35.720 --> 00:38:40.600 Or maybe it's I'm gonna cut out sugar and refined foods. 561 00:38:40.600 --> 00:38:43.780 That's it, that's your one thing 562 00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:47.400 that I'm gonna make my own lunches and stop eating out. 563 00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:49.320 Whatever, right? 564 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:51.040 Same thing with your business. 565 00:38:51.040 --> 00:38:53.800 So when I would ask God, what's the one thing, God? 566 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:56.320 What do you want me focusing on right now? 567 00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:58.560 God would say, write. 568 00:38:58.560 --> 00:39:00.200 I want you to write your book. 569 00:39:01.080 --> 00:39:02.480 And I kept putting it off. 570 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:04.160 I'm too busy, Lord, I'm too busy. 571 00:39:04.160 --> 00:39:06.400 I got this, I got that, I got this and that. 572 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.400 Finally, with this one thing, 573 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:10.780 it's like I need to listen to the Lord. 574 00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:12.580 I need to get serious. 575 00:39:12.580 --> 00:39:16.520 The one thing for me right now is writing the book. 576 00:39:16.520 --> 00:39:18.340 So watch how this works. 577 00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:24.000 There's about four major areas of your business, right? 578 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.120 You've got sales and marketing. 579 00:39:26.120 --> 00:39:28.300 I've got to generate leads. 580 00:39:28.300 --> 00:39:29.480 So this is on your list. 581 00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:30.520 If you're a business owner, 582 00:39:30.520 --> 00:39:32.080 if you're not focusing on leads 583 00:39:32.080 --> 00:39:34.280 or you don't have a lead generation system 584 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:35.460 or you don't have sales 585 00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:37.340 or you're not having a sales conversation, 586 00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:40.640 you're not in business, you're in an expensive hobby. 587 00:39:40.640 --> 00:39:41.640 That's what I find. 588 00:39:41.640 --> 00:39:44.560 I find coaches after a year, they don't have any clients. 589 00:39:44.560 --> 00:39:46.880 And I say, well, how many leads do you have? 590 00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.160 How many sales conversations did you have today? 591 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:50.840 None. 592 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:52.200 How many sales conversations did you have this week? 593 00:39:52.200 --> 00:39:53.040 None. 594 00:39:53.040 --> 00:39:53.860 This month? 595 00:39:55.040 --> 00:39:56.880 One or two. 596 00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.880 Well, okay, no sales conversation, no sales, no money. 597 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.120 impact, no growing a business, you're an inexpensive hobby. We need to change that. 598 00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:09.920 So you've got to have leads. You've got to have a way of generating sales conversations, right? 599 00:40:11.200 --> 00:40:17.120 You also have to create trust and rapport. They have to decide that they know, like, and trust 600 00:40:17.120 --> 00:40:25.600 you. They want to work with you, right? They have to know you, right? And you're desiring to, 601 00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:37.200 create awareness of who you are and what you do, right? And so you've got the sales and you've got 602 00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:42.800 the acquiring of clients. You need to get new clients. And then you need the ability to serve 603 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:49.520 those clients and create transformation, right? And then you need the ability to create intellectual 604 00:40:49.520 --> 00:40:55.840 property, right? What is it that you have, you know, that's your intellectual property? Is it a 605 00:40:55.840 --> 00:41:02.880 course? Is it a system? Is it, you know, what is it? Books? Is it, you know, podcasts? What's your 606 00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.800 intellectual property? So you're, you are in business, either hiring or juggling between lead 607 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:18.320 generations and acquisition of clients, serving those clients, right? And creating the IP, 608 00:41:19.040 --> 00:41:22.720 right? The intellectual property. Well, interestingly enough, the Lord showed me, 609 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:30.480 write a book and guess what? People are going to know, like, and trust you. Guess what? 610 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:36.640 You're going to get clients. Guess what? You're creating IP. Guess what? You're creating 611 00:41:36.640 --> 00:41:43.040 transformation for those clients. Guess what? Do you see doing one thing? It's like a domino. 612 00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:53.920 So part of what I do in coaching is help you get absolute clarity. This being able to 613 00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:59.120 structure your time and simplify always starts with awareness and then with clarity, 614 00:42:00.080 --> 00:42:08.240 absolute clarity, okay? So step one, you've got to have clarity around your desires, 615 00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:14.320 your God-given desires, your goals, your vision. Like, where am I going? Step one, 616 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:21.040 what do I want? Where am I going? Then you have to know, we talked yesterday, activating the flow, 617 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:26.960 how I can add value. Well, to know how to add value, you have to know who you work with. 618 00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:34.080 You've got to be absolutely clear who your niche is. I'll get on the phone with clients or potential 619 00:42:34.080 --> 00:42:40.080 clients. I say, who's your niche? And they say, women over 50. That's not a niche. That's half 620 00:42:40.080 --> 00:42:49.120 the world. A woman over 50 that is 65, a CFO focusing on retirement is completely different 621 00:42:49.120 --> 00:42:55.760 than a woman over 50 that's a homeschool mom with 12 kids is completely different than a woman over 622 00:42:55.760 --> 00:43:02.080 50 that, you get it? And so they have totally different desires, totally different needs, 623 00:43:02.080 --> 00:43:07.120 totally different problems. They hang out in different places. They speak a different language. 624 00:43:07.120 --> 00:43:12.560 So you're just throwing spaghetti on the wall, hoping it speaks to them because you don't know, 625 00:43:12.560 --> 00:43:18.640 you don't truly know your client and what their now problem is. So you've got to know your who, 626 00:43:18.640 --> 00:43:23.440 then you've got to know your what, your value proposition. I say, what's your big promise? 627 00:43:24.160 --> 00:43:30.640 What's your value proposition? What problem do you solve? And most of them don't know. And then 628 00:43:30.640 --> 00:43:37.760 what's your irresistible offer? Well, I give five sessions for X amount of, that's, that's not an 629 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:47.840 irresistible offer. Okay. So step one is clarity. And if you have not had a breakthrough intensive 630 00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:55.280 with me, that's where I always start. You've got to know your vision in writing. Scripture says, 631 00:43:55.520 --> 00:44:02.320 the people fail for lack of vision. And Barbara said, life-changing. Yeah. Doing this intensive, 632 00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:07.680 all of a sudden, everything falls into place. Getting clients, making money, knowing what to 633 00:44:07.680 --> 00:44:14.240 work on, knowing, you know, what's unique about you, knowing what you offer, being able to get 634 00:44:14.240 --> 00:44:22.240 on there confidently. So step one, if you're going to create space is to have clarity. Okay. And I do 635 00:44:22.240 --> 00:44:30.000 that through the business breakthrough intensive. Then remember, we said goals, priorities. Okay. 636 00:44:30.560 --> 00:44:34.560 The, the one thing is kind of the priority. What, what am I going to work on? Of all the 637 00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:38.320 things I can work on, that's going to have the most impact. That's the priority. So you got the 638 00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:47.760 goal. I desire to make seven figures or some of you at six figures. So I can have freedom. I can 639 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:53.600 pay off my bills. I can create the impact and leave a legacy. I can put my kids through private 640 00:44:53.600 --> 00:44:59.040 school. Okay. I got a goal. I need to get to six figures, seven figures, whatever it is for you. 641 00:44:59.040 --> 00:44:59.760 Goal. 642 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.120 What's the priority? 643 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:07.200 OK, what's the one thing I can do that by doing that makes everything else easier, 644 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.160 unnecessary, then you go into the S right goals, priorities, strategies. 645 00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:16.720 OK, how how are we going to do that? 646 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:20.120 That strategy is different for each one of you. 647 00:45:20.120 --> 00:45:21.840 That's another reason for a breakthrough 648 00:45:22.040 --> 00:45:24.640 intensive that we decide what the strategy is. 649 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:28.840 OK, but even more, that's where I do 90 day 650 00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:33.720 coaching's 90 day breakthrough and the 90 day breakthrough starts with a one day 651 00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:38.480 intensive and then we do 90 days of implementation. 652 00:45:38.680 --> 00:45:41.480 OK, because it's very different. 653 00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:43.080 I had one woman. 654 00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:47.000 She's part of the Prosper Leader membership, Antoinette. 655 00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:52.720 And I do these 15 minute connect calls on on LinkedIn. 656 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:56.000 And anyway, I think she came to me through lead generation. 657 00:45:56.120 --> 00:45:57.560 Anyway, I'm on the phone with her. 658 00:45:57.560 --> 00:46:03.400 And she says, well, yeah, I've been a coach for over a year and I have a coach. 659 00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:04.480 I have a coach for a year. 660 00:46:04.680 --> 00:46:06.920 I'm like, that's so awesome. Congratulations. 661 00:46:07.120 --> 00:46:09.360 I said, how many clients do you have? 662 00:46:09.560 --> 00:46:11.840 What do you think she said?

And what's the one thing you need to say 858 00:57:01.600 --> 00:57:05.040 yes to that's choosing what really matters? Is it 859 00:57:05.040 --> 00:57:09.200 prioritizing your health? Is it prioritizing your income? Is it 860 00:57:09.200 --> 00:57:14.480 prioritizing your mental health? Is it prioritizing decluttering 861 00:57:14.740 --> 00:57:22.780 your space so energy can flow? We use the prosper daily 862 00:57:22.780 --> 00:57:26.740 planner to get very clear. We write it down every day. We 863 00:57:26.740 --> 00:57:31.040 write our intention every day. We write down our mission every 864 00:57:31.040 --> 00:57:35.140 single day we write down our mark, which is our goal. We are 865 00:57:35.140 --> 00:57:40.180 focused on our goal. We write down our plan or how and we 866 00:57:40.180 --> 00:57:45.720 break it into 20 minute chunks. We break up our must do our 867 00:57:45.720 --> 00:57:50.960 delegate and our delay so that we're only focusing on the must 868 00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:56.520 do. Right? We take a look at our numbers. How many leads? How 869 00:57:56.520 --> 00:58:01.120 many calls? How many sales? How much money coming in? How much 870 00:58:01.120 --> 00:58:07.920 going out awareness is the first step in transformation. So today 871 00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:13.460 when we're talking about creating space, for that which 872 00:58:13.460 --> 00:58:18.960 you desire, we're talking about simplifying, quieting the noise, 873 00:58:19.100 --> 00:58:26.540 quieting the battle for your attention, redirecting it first 874 00:58:26.700 --> 00:58:36.140 to our source, second, to our vision, and our priority, and 875 00:58:36.140 --> 00:58:39.280 our strategy, we've got a strategy, we're not just 876 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:43.240 spinning our wheels in business, we know how the money's going to 877 00:58:43.240 --> 00:58:47.400 come, how the clients are going to come, we've got a strategy. 878 00:58:48.840 --> 00:58:57.240 And we are ruthlessly allocating our time. You understand the 879 00:58:57.240 --> 00:59:01.600 word allocate, we're not spending our time. We're 880 00:59:01.640 --> 00:59:05.840 allocating our time, we're not spending our life force, our 881 00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:14.060 energy, we're allocating our energy, we're not spending our 882 00:59:14.060 --> 00:59:18.980 money, we're allocating, you have to understand with money, 883 00:59:19.140 --> 00:59:24.500 the difference between an investment and an expense. 884 00:59:25.860 --> 00:59:31.420 Coaching is an investment, it's got return on investment, your 885 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:38.800 time, ROTI, return on time invested, right? Return on 886 00:59:39.040 --> 00:59:44.520 energy, Jesus always looked for a return. He always looked for a 887 00:59:44.520 --> 00:59:51.280 return on investment. Look at the parable of the talents. He 888 00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:55.880 was looking for a return. He had no problem if one returned 889 00:59:55.880 --> 00:59:59.680 another or three return three more or five, he gave them more 890 00:59:59.680 --> 01:00:00.080 authority. 891 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.400 pretty. He gave them more praise. He gave them more to work with. He increased them. 892 01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:13.440 He only had a problem with the one that hoarded, that buried, that didn't use, that didn't 893 01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:21.200 allocate and just played it safe. One said, I've got fear and I know that you're a scary 894 01:00:21.200 --> 01:00:25.760 man and I've got fear of loss and I don't want to lose this money. I don't want to lose 895 01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:33.000 this talent so I'm going to play it safe. That's the only one that Jesus said you wicked 896 01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:40.640 slothful servant. Did you catch that? The one just got one. It was cool. The three got 897 01:00:40.640 --> 01:00:45.200 three. It was cool. The five got five. It was cool. Jesus had no problem. He gave them 898 01:00:45.200 --> 01:00:54.480 more authority, more to work with. That's why to whom much is given, the one who has, 899 01:00:54.480 --> 01:01:02.480 he will have even more. But the one who has not, he will lose even what he has. Do you 900 01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:09.380 understand this principle? It's what we talked about yesterday. It's a continuation of opening 901 01:01:09.380 --> 01:01:18.360 the flow. It's how will I add value today? How will I allocate my life to make it count? 902 01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:27.400 I feel personally that life is so short. It's so precious that I want every moment to count. 903 01:01:28.520 --> 01:01:37.160 Now that doesn't mean I don't relax. I do. I love relaxing, but that's allocating. It was 904 01:01:37.160 --> 01:01:45.960 deliberately, it was chosen. And sometimes I do double duty just the way I am, right? So I 905 01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:54.520 allocate watching Netflix. I only watch it in Spanish. And that's how I retaught myself Spanish 906 01:01:54.520 --> 01:02:02.360 over the last few years. So I'm relaxing, but I'm exercising my brain, learning a new language. 907 01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:07.880 I'm opening up kingdom opportunities that I can speak pretty fluently now. Do you see how this 908 01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:14.440 works? It's, I want you to write this down and just meditate on this. Conscious choice making. 909 01:02:17.240 --> 01:02:26.120 Put it in the chat. Ingrain this. Conscious. Conscious choice making. 910 01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:36.840 Conscious allocation. I love you guys. We got so much more to cover. Man, we are going to be 911 01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:44.680 on it tomorrow. And also we have a two hour masterclass, super important on Saturday, 912 01:02:44.680 --> 01:02:51.640 two hour masterclass. All right. So I will see you tomorrow as we work our way through 913 01:02:52.600 --> 01:03:00.360 the rest of the prosper. And Saturday is all about bold identity. So those of you mentioning fear, 914 01:03:00.360 --> 01:03:06.920 those of you mentioning not enoughness, we're going to really step into bold identity.

You don't have someone giving you direction and you're just trying to 919 01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:41.080 figure it out yourself. Part of bold allocation is multiplying what you're doing.
