Are we doing? Right. Rebecca, you want to kick us off in
prayer? Yes, sir. Let's do it. Yes. Heavenly Father, Lord, I
thank you for our sales and marketing members, Lord. Thank
you just for this time together. Thank you for the opportunity
to grow. As we empty ourselves tonight, Lord, we just invite
more of your presence. We're honored to belong to you,
Father. We're just grateful you own the cattle of a thousand
hills. Thank you for making room and for having a heart for
each one of us, Lord. I just pray that you help us lean in
and trust your guidance tonight, Lord. We welcome your
voice, your truth. We welcome your will as we do our best to
stay congruent with heaven tonight and where you're taking
us. Lord, we love you. We thank you for working in and through
Ray. We thank you for the anointing on his life, Lord. We
just pray blessing over him and all that you're doing in his
life. We love you tonight, God. We give you praise and glory and
seal these things in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Awesome. Awesome.
Awesome. Alright and so welcome. Welcome. Welcome excited to
have you on here. Happy Monday. Hope you're doing well. I know
we got a few new peeps in here and and so just kind of a quick
overview. There's really three things we we work on in here
really right and that is self-sabotage or any kind of
sabotage. Sometimes it's not himself. Sometimes it's you
know spiritual things that we've we've taken on so
sabotage self-sabotage any of that kind of stuff and the
reason that's so important is I could give you all kinds of
different tactics, but if you're suffering from
sabotage stuff, it's only going to go so far. It's only going to
go so far number two. What is your anointed brand? What is
your calling? What is that that best brand for you and one
thing that I've had to learn is you know sometimes I get.
A direction for you that you may not be ready for and and so
it's whatever you hear on here right in this in this, I would
you know suggest taking it to prayer and cuz you know
sometimes I get so excited for what God's calling someone to
do that. Maybe I can be a little overzealous for them and
that's you know II shouldn't be that way and so you gotta be
prepared to run in that direction that he's calling you
to do and then number three is the tactics around that brand
right. What does that look like content wise social media wise
some of you advertising what are the different strategies to
implement to magnify that brand get in front of more people,
And so forth now, this is choose your adventure. I don't
come on here with an agenda. I don't like alright today.
We're talking about headlines. You know today we're talking
about advertising. We we cover whoever raises their hand and
you gotta be bold. you know to do that and we encourage you to
do that you raise your hand. I go through what's your number
one question that I can help with I try to you know not have
any one member capitalize a whole lot of time, but what's
your number one thing you feel that we can help you with.
Let's focus on that so you get to choose. so if you're like
Ray II really want tactics tonight. Okay. Bring it baby
like raise your hand. Tell me you want some tactics. We'll
talk about tactics. It may lead me to asking some some
different questions because I want I always wanna make sure
that we're not ignoring any patterns that we're not
ignoring any things that you're just gonna slip right back
into and and so I'm always gonna keep an eyeball on
sabotage and patterns and you know what has happened in the
in the past that maybe has gotten you stuck because until
you learn that thing, it keeps happening. You know, I love
what Graham Cook says. He says you know with God, you're
given you're with God. You can't fail a test. You're just
given an unlimited amount of tries to pass it and so said in
another way, the lessons repeated until it's learned and
so let's make sure that we're not doing the same thing that
we've we've done before. Let's speed it up and and I'll give
you. I'll give you an example. From tonight, she probably
won't like me sharing this, but I feel like someone needs to
hear it. So I was in the other room and I heard.
my wife and daughter just having a knockdown drag out, right?
And my daughter is a firecracker, very strong-willed and I just hear I'm just going at it, right?
And so what I've learned over and over and over is a lot of times that's a spiritual thing that's going on.
And so earlier today, you know, Sabrina, my daughter, she didn't want to go to singing, right?
So someday she loves going to singing today.
She did not want to go, didn't want to go.
And so we're in the car and I'm just she's refusing, not going to go, not going to go.
And so I just I just pray for her.
I just pray, you know, any kind of, you know, unclean spirits, any kind of spiritual attacks, any kind of this and that.
And I finish and I don't say this to her.
I'm not doing it in front of her or anything. I'm, you know, I'm sitting in front of her.
I finish and literally within two seconds.
Okay, I'll go to singing. Great.
And so I come out of the room and so later tonight, you know, just a little bit ago,
I hear my wife and daughter at it and, you know, instead of going and blowing up at Sabrina,
I just I pray I do this very similar kind of prayer.
I go in a room. I said, hey, you're making life easier.
I mean, you're making life tougher, right? You're losing rewards.
You're making things tougher. What do you think you should do?
And she's like, apologize. I'm like, okay, when should you do that?
She's like, I'll go do it now. And so instantly more reasonable and goes hugs mom.
They have a great night, right? It was nice.
And so I say that because one for your own life, right?
Keep an eye on sometimes we have these battles and arguments and or people upset at us.
We don't really understand why a lot of times that spiritual stuff
and the more light you're trying to bring to the world more of that stuff you get.
Now, you don't have to fret about it. You don't have to cower about it.
You don't have to worry about it, but you do have to be diligent to get rid of it.
And so just want to encourage you with that.
And so I'm happy, you know, I spent my first,
you know, 18 years in business only teaching tactics.
So I'm happy to give tactics.
What I'm always going to keep an eye on is am I giving you a tactic
and you're falling right back into a pattern is that is let's not waste time.
And so I'm just going to keep an eye. I may ask some questions,
but if you whatever it is that you need in your business,
raise your hand. Let's let's get to that because this is choose your adventure.
I don't I don't have a game plan. I don't have a here's the six topics like we get into those those three areas.
That's what we do in here. And then it's based on where you're at.
And that's you know, that's that's what you get with with coaching.
And so let's I hope that was helpful. Let's rock and roll.
All right, we'll go to Marion. What's happening?
Hey Ray, this is Jim. The other half of Marion.
Yeah. Yeah. I just I call it by the name. Good to see you.
Good to see you. I'm trying to get this. Okay, you got to get in there.
There we go. I'm trying to figure out.
So I want to start. I'm going to start with one question or actually we'll do two questions.
Number one. So what's a win since the last time we talked?
Could be personal, could be business, could be breakthrough, could be anything you choose.
I would probably have to say that the new church that we've been going to,
we've been myself also has been working with the church instead of being a bystander,
you know, just coming in, clocking in, listen to the sermon that, you know,
pastor on the back saying that was a good sermon, but getting involved, which is not.
It takes me a while to get used to people.
But I just we prayed about it, prayed about it.
He was a pastor from years ago that we knew that moved up here.
And then with COVID hitting and all that, we did a lot of watching sermons on TV from other pastors
and whatnot. And then finally, we both just prayed about it.
And I said, I need to be around people, not just watching TV and getting it from there.
And we hooked up with our old pastor and the church and the people are just phenomenal.
So, yeah, it's I feel comfortable being there.
I feel like we've known everybody for a long time and we've been got myself involved with a.
both did a Bible study actually going in home Bible study,
which we hadn't done in ages.
And that's really, yeah, it's been phenomenal, so.
Awesome.
And so where can I best help?
That's the second question.
What's your number one question that I can help with?
Well, my number one question of two questions really quick
is my never received my three words,
which I was gonna ask you about.
The other thing is with our business,
kind of stepped out of it for a while
because of just life, things happening to us,
cars breaking down, financial stuff going on,
and my workload at work,
just getting over a serious illness.
And then it just hit me the other day,
I just really prayed to God about it.
And he showed me why he got us into the business
that we're into now.
And besides my regular job that I've had for 26 years,
but it was like a whole new fire inside fired me up.
And I started contacting more people
and getting great responses from them.
And it felt like the scales were coming off.
And literally means every mean scale,
because I got just out of the blue got hit
with a coming open here,
but a really bad rash throughout my body.
The doctor said it was not a contagious virus,
but she had been seeing it from a lot of people
and through prayer and stuff, it started to go away.
Even though the medication they had given me wasn't working,
just really locked in and prayed about it.
And our church prayed over me.
And yeah, it's about 75% of it went away within a few days.
Nice.
Yeah.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Okay, all right.
Let me pray on your three words.
So for those new, right, we do some fun stuff in here.
And so when an interesting thing
that I learned about a year ago
is that when I pray about someone,
God will give me three words of how he sees them.
And I would encourage you,
this is one of the best questions
you can ask the Lord, by the way,
is, Lord, how do you see me?
And the reason it's such a good question
is you will have thoughts and hear words you wouldn't say.
Because most of us, if we, you know,
if someone said, hey, describe you,
we would pick like, you know, well, I try my best.
You know, we would pick very limiting words, most of us.
Right?
I mean, there's some, right?
There's some people that would pick
very high words for themselves,
but most people, they would pick lesser words.
Right?
And so let me pray on that.
So I got, and there's quite a few of you.
I feel like I tend to attract this type,
but the three words I get for you is gentle, wise, and kind.
Same as my wife, gentle, wise, and kind.
Good, thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah, man, you got it.
Yeah, I've been praying to God about that.
So I appreciate it.
So the number one,
the most powerful thing when you have those words
is you know that anything against those words
is not from God.
And so, you know, the two areas,
I used to just say the one,
but the two areas that the enemy wants to attack the most
is your identity and your integrity.
Wants you to think that you're doing something shady
and wants to confuse you on who you are.
And so someone who's gentle, wise, and kind,
well, he would point out anything that,
where you're unkind or where you're stupid
or where you were rough with somebody
or something like that.
Once, doesn't want you to walk in your identity.
And so that's your, you know,
that's your best reason for knowing that
is to know how to battle anything that's not that.
Great.
Okay, thank you, Ray.
Yeah, there is one other quick thing.
What was the, I'm sorry.
Your calling.
Yeah, my.
Anointing.
Says my calling, my anointing.
Okay, all right, so this is, you know,
one of those warnings, man, you know,
like sometimes, you know, I get it,
I share it with someone and they're just,
sometimes, I've had it, I've had clients,
Rebecca's been on all of these,
and, you know, I've had it where I pray
about someone's calling,
and it's in, their calling is in an area
that is currently their biggest struggle,
and they're like, no way, that can't possibly,
and what do you want me to say here?
I don't know, and so it's one of those things
that when I pray about this,
definitely, without a shadow of a doubt,
go to the Lord, ask him for guidance and direction,
because here's, you know, here's what I,
here's what I know, is if he,
wherever, if he's calling you to somewhere,
you don't have to know how to do that thing.
He's going to, he's going to provide you
with the wisdom, the resources, the connections,
the everything to go and do that thing,
and another, you know, I just heard this yesterday.
I was at a church in Tampa, and I did a recap of this,
but I saw Myron Golden, which, you know,
I've known Myron for many years,
but I've never really studied him,
and, you know, which is interesting, you know,
he talks a lot about faith and business,
and he did a great sermon yesterday,
and he talked about how your,
we're called to be kings or queens of our assignment,
and so we're to put, we're to really run,
you know, like part of our job is to have a diligent hand
with our assignment, and how would we operate
as a king or a queen of that assignment,
and it gave it just a little bit more heaviness,
like a little bit more weight
than what I've heard in the past,
and so let me just bring on this.
So share some things that you've,
throughout your life, that you've struggled with.
Like, what are some of the bigger struggles you've had,
you know, throughout your life?
I think the biggest struggle I've ever had in my life,
and God delivered it for me, was heavy into cocaine,
and.
Okay, what's another one?
I don't need a lot of context, just kind of the category.
Acceptance from my family.
That's another one.
Oh, money.
That's another one.
Mm, wheels spinning.
Just self-confidence at times.
What about, like, teen years?
Like, what was some big struggles as a teen?
Being raised with six brothers,
trying to find my spot in the family.
I get, yeah, I get there's something in there.
Which still goes to today.
Yeah.
I'm like, I make a joke about it,
but I'm kind of serious at times.
I tell one of my brothers, my twin brother,
we're the closest, is that I should get a DNA test,
because I'm such the opposite of all.
They all clump together, which is fine,
but I'm like the outsider when it comes to things.
I'm like the one that they like to jump on and make fun of,
which I can deal with it, but I'm not happy about it.
But it's always felt like the outsider.
Yeah.
So, like, what popped up for me was,
like, the sibling that wasn't accepted.
And I think you're supposed to help people
that also have siblings that they just never fit in with.
Right.
And so I would definitely go, you know,
take that seed, right?
Go to Lord with that and see what does that look like?
And, you know, but I also think there's healing there too.
I think that there's,
You know, praying around, you know, Lord, thank you for helping us to draw closer.
Thank you for helping us to have better relationships.
But I think it's instructional of you'll be able to help people in similar situations
that they just don't fit in with the siblings or they feel picked on or left out
or black sheep or, you know, that kind of thing.
But that's that's what I got.
That's what I got. Yes, son.
I think the biggest breakthrough that I had is with my oldest brother, which I loved him
dearly, but he just passed away from cancer over over a year ago and actually led him
to the Lord on his deathbed to where he broke down and cried.
And I don't ever have a talk with him about God.
He would go into a rage about my beliefs, not being Catholic anymore, being a
Christian, you know, you know, follow God the way other people do.
And it was tough, but we had quiet time and got to ask him, do you believe in Jesus?
And just we prayed together and he started crying and he kept like a little kid.
He just kept screaming.
Yes, yes, yes.
I accept them.
Wow.
Yeah, that's an amazing experience.
Yeah, just felt incredible breakthrough after that.
Very cool, man.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like you're going to be sharing that story.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, you got it.
Marion, anything for you, anything to help with?
Um, well, I'm still working on and contemplating when you gave me, you know, my
calling and, um, my three words.
And so, yeah, I've been moving forward in working, not haven't really been working
with women, but I, and getting paid for it at the moment, but I have actually
started to like really put, uh, like, um, what I'm supposed to be doing, like
the, the actual components of that, the strategies and, and then I, the Lord has
been leading me to, and I'm just, I'm continuing to pray about it because it
just goes so well with what I'm doing with women and teaching them and the
health and wellness space and the emotional, you know, what you shared
with me was like, help them in that emotional area and getting the, getting
their confidence back and, you know, uh, just walking in their calling and
walking in what God has for them.
And so the, uh, I've been following this one, uh, pastor and
she, she's doing what I want to do.
And it just like lit me up on the inside and I can't stop thinking about it.
So I'm just praying and asking the Lord.
And every time I do, he puts something else in front of me that is, uh, around
this whole neuroscience, like Christian life coaching and neuroscience, like the
science of how the brain and the mind work.
And I mean, I've always been fascinated with that for 30 years that I've been
doing coaching with women is the gut brain connection is so powerful.
So I'm totally excited about that.
And, um, just asking the Lord for direction, like, okay, now where do I,
I need more learning on this.
Yeah.
The coaching part.
No, but the coaching with talking about neuroscience and how the brain, the
neuroplasticity of the brain and how we can rewire our brain.
And, you know, God tells us that we can renew our mind.
So I'm so excited to speak to, uh, I actually have spoken to a couple of women
in our church that one is the pastor, pastor's mom, and she's a pastor.
And then one of the other pastors is a woman in the church who, um, I've
spoken with and shared information, health and wellness information with
her and some of our products she's worked.
So she wants me to come speak at our church.
Nice.
So I I'm, I'm just like the God is just opening the doors, but I'm, I'm stepping
through.
So I think I need to take more action steps on that.
Yeah.
Um, did you guys, uh, how many on here saw the, um, house of David on Amazon prime?
You wouldn't see that.
You know what I mean?
It's awesome.
I mean, I, I, I love it.
It's so good.
Rebecca, did you watch that?
I keep hearing about it.
We literally just watched episode one about three nights ago.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so good.
It's so good.
Is it still on there?
Yeah.
It's like a top 10 show and.
It's so, so good.
But there's a scene that, so, you know,
I don't feel like this spoils it,
but there's a scene where,
because you know the story, right?
It's not like, oh my God, he fights a giant.
Like, you know the story, right?
And so David is down by a stream getting some,
getting his rocks, right?
He's getting ready to go battle.
And Jonathan, Saul's son, this is kind of a made up scene.
I don't believe this scene is biblical,
but Jonathan comes up to him and he says,
you know, you can't win, man.
He's huge.
Like, you're not gonna win.
And David is like, you know,
have you all forgotten the stories of old?
And, you know, have you, you know,
don't you know how great our God is?
And Jonathan says, Saul's son says,
well, I just don't know if God's with us anymore.
And David said, he's not with us while we cower.
He's with us when we face our fears.
He's with us when we go after it.
And it was just, it was so well said, it was so good.
And so, you know, God is with us to empower us
to walk through that door.
He's with us to go on that stage.
He's with us to go reach out to that person
we're scared of.
He's with us when we walk in faith.
He's not with us when we're in, I mean,
he's not, there's not much he can do
when we're, you know, sitting there,
not doing the thing we're able to do.
And the way that, I just really liked the way that Myron,
I did a recap of it last night,
but the way Myron talked about, you know,
be the king of your assignment.
You know, you got the assignment.
No one else got that assignment.
No, there is no competition
because God ordained you to do that assignment.
And so, green light on that assignment, go rock it out.
And so I just think, you know, he's gonna be with you
and all these things that make you a little nervous,
that's where we grow and that's where he'll be with us.
And that's, you know, 2 Corinthians 12, nine says,
my grace is sufficient for you
for my power is made perfect in your weakness.
So when I'm going into something, I'm like,
oh, I don't know about this one.
I know that's more of him with me
and we're doing it together.
Yeah, and I knew that, I know that, I knew that.
And it's like, I'm just afraid to take the steps
that it's gonna require because one, I don't feel qualified
and I know that's God then
because he doesn't call the qualified.
Right, right.
Yeah, well we're rooting for you, keep us in the loop.
Thank you, yes I will, thank you so much.
Thank you, Ray.
You got it.
Amber, so what's one quick win and then where can I help?
A quick one.
Personal, business, could be anything.
I am just leaning more into reading scripture
and connecting more with the Lord and my faith
and really took the time last week during the Easter week
to really reflect on that.
And I didn't do a whole lot with my business.
And so that's kind of where my question is now.
And it actually felt good not to be doing anything.
I just felt really at peace with that,
but it's really hard to keep momentum for me.
And reaching out and then just people
that aren't interested like currently,
where they're like, okay, reach back out with me later.
Just having a hard time on how to reach out with them.
Like normally it's like with an event,
they can't make it, but they wanna stay in contact.
So I'm like, I feel like I have to have another event
to invite them to, to get them energized about it.
Okay.
Not necessarily.
So if you're, are you in Rankmakers?
I'm in the Facebook group.
Yeah, Rankmakers Facebook group.
Yeah.
So in the Rankmakers Facebook group,
it's the only location where it exists
in all of the universe.
I have a video called my crazy follow-up
and it's my, I did it a million years ago
and it's just very complete.
So I've never redone it.
And so it's just every type of follow-up to do period.
And, and so you don't have to follow it up.
to have another event but you want to have you want to just get good with updates and deflections
so updates is something new that you have right and there's a that could be a whole
spattering of different things and then deflections deflections are where you're saying
you know hey i get that it's not a fit for you right now but you don't do you know anyone that
wants to blank blank blank whatever benefit you're leading with so um what you don't want to do
is call them to see hey has anything changed on your end like don't want to do that that's not
very powerful um you want to you know reach out and say um you know hey you know something like
it's always good to have some kind of update like either you know i i always like if
and you could use this for update or deflection is if you know their occupation or their past
so let's say that they're a nurse right hey last night i was on a training i just heard a nurse
doing really really well i know it may not be a fit for you because my nurses that may want to
make more money or something does that make sense yeah sorry my child here is like all my attention
sorry that's okay yeah just so having an update with them yeah yeah because i because if you
if you draw the conclusion i have to run another event then that that can kind of get you know
exhausting and everything and it's you know to maintain posture in all of your communication
and so it's quick updates and deflections
okay and so i would watch the video because the video you know will definitely give you some more
ideas than what i gave you on here um but you know you can it's it's not chasing begging or
bugging it's not waiting for their status to change it's you leading with either an update
or deflection to see if they bite at either of those okay um and so like my social media and
stuff i've i haven't been doing anything with my company per se i've just been doing stuff with my
calling and um i feel good with it but i um i'm kind of like at a standstill of like what
what to do more like i was putting in posts with my family and everything but like
the last two weeks i'm like i don't feel like i shouldn't capture anything and put anything with
my family in it and i'm like i just need like that space and i've been doing interviews which
i really enjoy and then two nights ago i was watching an interview it was like a podcast
interview but um with a video and i got really excited about it and i'm like do i want to go
that direction and should i go that direction and if i did what would it gain me i guess or is that
i'm just trying to figure out the direction i'm supposed to go even further and i'm trying to
find the clarity i haven't received it yet so yeah so it's you know we're we're always in a
two-step process yield to god serve others that's that's it right and so like how how do we serve
others we serve others by sharing what they need to hear you know like you know i shared the reason
i shared that stuff about you know my wife and daughter is not because i'm trying to dog on my
wife or whatever but i bet someone on here is having issues that that would help right and so
what are what are things that people need to hear that's around your calling right what what do they
need to hear what what are they thinking that's incorrect what is preventing them from doing
what would actually help them and so the more that you know them the more that you dig in
with them and their problems and where they struggle the the better you're going to serve
them and then when they you know connect with you it's you know generate a lead determine the need
or i'm sorry generate a lead connect with the lead determine the need and so they may they may need
your product they may need an income from home they may need your coaching right there's different
things depending on the person but it's first sir how do we how do we serve help them okay
does that does that help
Yeah, it does. I just still got to keep in momentum because it's just really hard to
get back up once you take, I don't know. Just change, change your language about it.
You know, it's so cool that it's getting easier and easier for me to get back into momentum.
This is where you speak to yourself more than you listen to yourself.
And, and so you just, you know, death and life's in the power of the tongue, Proverbs 18, 21.
And so when we speak something as hard, it literally has to be hard. It can't be easy.
And so we just speak ease. You know, we speak, he's with us. I'm so, I'm so grateful. He's
making it easier and easier. And, you know, and one thing that, you know, that I teach and I do
all the time is ILT and best learn, teach. So if I was called to help,
um, you know, if I, if I was, if all of a sudden God's like, Ray, I want you to help people around
grief. Okay. Uh, I would study grief. You know, I would study, okay, what are the, you know,
chat GPT, what's the most popular books on grief, right. Or what are the most popular articles on
grief? I would, I would read it. All right. What are some things that people should do around
grief? I would study that and I would go and teach that stuff. And, you know, I would just say,
Hey, if you're struggling with grief, here are 10 things to do here, three foods to avoid.
Here are, you know, I'm just going to dig in. And, you know, so if I, if that is God's assignment
for me, I want to be a King of that assignment. And I want to go and run that thing with pure
diligence. And, and so, you know, that's, it's, it's all pointed toward them. It's all serving them.
So, um, I don't have those people that I'm serving in my, um, in my social media.
Um, so I'm still trying to serve enough. Right. And so you don't know who's in your circles
that actually needs what you have, right. What you're going to share. So we don't, we don't,
we don't get that, right. It's kind of like people, they wait to write a speech until
they're invited to speak, but they're not invited to speak because they don't have a speech.
And so, you know, we, we have to start serving and what will happen. And I know what happened,
what happened with me, I remember, you know, 2000 and I think 10 is when I first started
sharing about my dad and I's relationship. And, and I remember going to a party here in Naples
and one, I mean, this, this guy, young, young dude, he actually since passed,
but this guy came up to me, who's him and his family are worth like $200 million,
big time family. And, um, he comes up to me. He had never, I'd seen him multiple times. He'd
never said a word to me. He followed me on social media, but we'd never had a discussion.
He's like, dude, what you shared with your dad. I so needed to hear that, man. Thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. See, he was in my social, he was following me. I didn't, I didn't know it,
but it wasn't until I spoke to him that he spoke to me. And so it's not, let me wait until I have
a bunch of my target audience around me. It's no, no, no. Go provide the value and the target
audience will show up. Some of them will pop up because they're already following you and
others will come and be attracted to you. And so we don't, we don't wait for, well,
once I have a thousand people that are struggling with grief, then I'll start talking about grief.
That's not how it works because those thousand wouldn't follow you. If you're not talking about
grief, you see what I mean? So you got to talk, you know, you got to put more value into,
you know, put more coins in the slot machine, you know, to, to get your content out there
and have them start seeing you as that person that can help with that thing.
Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. And I, I knew that, but it's just like, but it's still,
yeah, it's like, I still just don't have, I mean, just questioning myself and doubting myself. So
yeah. And remember, remember what I, what I said earlier, you know, the enemy will attack your
identity and your integrity. Right. So identity of, you know, is that even who you're supposed
to help, even though you, you light up every time you think about it.
And two well, who are you to even help them? That's integrity
Right, and so those are the two you got to always watch those two
And I get attacked that way too
it's just i've i've
I've been attacked so many times that you know, i've just like oh, oh there he is again
Okay, get out of here beat it
And and so, you know just so you know identity and integrity you're going to be attacked on all the time
especially the more light you're shining the more you're going toward your
Uh your calling you're gonna have that and so you you have to be strong enough for the territory
He's calling you to take over
and and so
you know
You gotta be diligent there
Thank you, do you feel like you can get get back on it and and start sharing more
Yeah, yeah I I do um
Um
Just
If you guys aren't using it like
Listen, i'm not a huge a i'm not some ai genius or anything
But dude chat gbt. I mean, it's pretty
It's pretty awesome
Like, you know, I have them I have chat gbt rewrite headlines for me all the time. I I ask
Hey, can you create an instagram carousel for me? It'll create carousels
Like, you know like
You know, i'm not suggesting you do everything in ai but man, it's pretty helpful. It's pretty helpful in a lot of areas
and so
Sorry, I just think um
I'm, um trying to figure out what that identity looks like on
social media of
I'm, not in the i'm not comparing but i'm like, oh I like the way they're doing that and i'm like I like that
I don't like that and i'm trying to make sure that i'm not that
Um, so I think that kind of holds me back a little bit
and when I do the chat gpt, it tells me what I should be doing and i'm like
Okay, that's gonna take forever for me to put that together. And so I kind of um
Mom, where's that?
So you move the key the key is movement, right you move forward
There are things that I did and I look back i'm like, eh, that was a stupid idea
But you know what I wouldn't have known them unless I did them
and so
what
Stinks is just staying in your head and blueprinting
And and no one can ever no one on the outside even knows right? They don't
What is she thinking over there, right? And so it's let me get this work out of me
So I know is this the right direction or not?
and and this is um
I think proverbs 26, I believe where it says, uh, there's a lion in the road. There's a fierce lion in the street
So that's that's just
You know
That's not they're not in the street
They're saying. Oh, well, what if it sucks, you know, what what if what if they make fun of me like they're they're they're pointing
To the people taking action and they're they're creating an excuse of why they're not
And and so it's no no go get in the street
And and you'll find that that's how you actually learn how you actually learn as you go in producing content
And you're going to like some of it. You're not going to like all of it. No matter what I tell you
Right there there are videos. I like that i've done. There's videos. I don't like that i've done
And sometimes the audience is completely split some the some of the videos. I thought man that was man. That was such good work
Hardly anyone paid attention to and then some that I thought stunk
People right. I really like that one. I'm like
All right, you know, whatever it's about serving them
and and so
You know trying to be perfect
from
you know
version zero
doesn't make sense
and
You know, bringing I think it's bringing brashard. He said version 1.0 is infinitely better than 0.0
And so we we go out there with our 1.0 and we may say, you know what? I'm gonna tweak a little thing 2.0
Great 2.0 is awesome
0.0
No, we're not helping anyone. We're not serving. We're not being bold
Right, so go go do the thing probably be messy and that's okay
And and and just know the more of this you do
I I still every day I get some crappy comment somewhere
So if the goal is to never get any negative comments ever
I don't know how to help you grow
Because that ain't gonna happen
I get them every day
Right, not not always a lot some days more than others
But there is no day that I don't get a negative comment
So
somewhere, you know, who are you to be talking about the Bible or was, you know,
like whatever, right, I get it all every day.
And but I get more positive than negative.
I get more people send me breakthroughs,
you know, and, you know, direct messages of how it changed their life.
If I was trying to do all this without getting any negative feedback,
no one would be helped.
Yeah, I needed to hear that.
Thank you.
Got it. All right.
I appreciate it. Thank you.
All right.
Tiffany and Aaron, it's happening.
So, guys, we've got what's up, what's up, what's up.
Everything.
All right, so as far as wins go yet, I'm going to say two wins.
One is we've had a
I'm going to say non-business win where we've had a nightmare of a garage for
some time and we tackled that and got that.
So that was awesome.
Again, outside of business, but it's good.
That's clutter.
So it's becoming minimalist.
Yes, yes.
I love it. I'm done.
Sure.
And then the other the other win that we have is
financially, we had a little bit of a change.
One of the businesses that we sold in our finance portion of it is basically now
getting delayed. So that's going to allow us to have victory over that portion of our
life. So we're excited for that win.
Those are our wins to start.
As far as tonight goes, we wanted to talk.
I'm going to take a little bit of lead tonight.
We'll talk a little bit about our reading company that we have,
as you know, with Rising Salons and TIFF there,
all the infrastructures, all their products, courses, all that stuff.
Same thing for our Lighthouse Reading Company.
The infrastructure is there.
Now it's at the point where we need to shift our focus from,
you know, implementation or development to sales.
So that's what I wanted to talk about
tonight was kind of getting our messaging locked in the right channels to pursue.
And
in our current target market is homeschooled families.
That's where we wanted to start because it's got the best environment.
So those are some of the things families and especially kids who have like
dyslexia or reading disabilities.
We actually found this company because Evie, our eight year old,
struggles really bad with reading and they've been able through their system
to help her in 12 months go from a kindergarten level reader to a third
grade level reader, which is the grade that she's in.
And so it's proven results.
And yeah, and it's a it's a proprietary system that has incredible results.
The founder of it, she's she's been implementing it.
And in the industry, she's got her Ph.D.
and brain brain science.
Like she's she's an incredible woman.
She was a teacher and kind of went through that pathway.
So the methodology is proven and proprietary.
It's like a franchise or something.
So it's it's it's I mean, really, it's a startup.
It's a couple that she was an older couple.
Yeah, they're they're they're kids are older than we are.
So it's an older couple.
And actually there's two brothers and they both married to Mary.
And both Marys were second grade teachers
and use this inside their classroom forever.
And then Mary, the founder, she actually started doing this
because her son has Tourette's and he was really struggling to read.
And so that's where this all was created from.
And then they created a system and videos
and they've been doing it for almost 40 years.
It's just they don't know you're a partner.
You're in a field. I'm trying to figure out what we're partnering with them.
So this is how it came to be is it was
through a referral of a referral of how we even found them,
which was God's all God's hand, by the way.
And there they do everything in person.
So it's one on one in person.
And it was so difficult for us to find them.
And they were literally, well, figuratively in our backyard
hours away from us.
Yes, but the branch that we found was 15 minutes from us.
But so they've been doing it in person
and we're like, we there's opportunity to scale this digitally.
So that's where we can play there.
They don't understand it.
We understand the digital side, but not so much the brain science side.
But we've since learned that over the past eight months.
So it's time to that, you know, the product's ready to go.
It's all video based.
So we've got that course is all set to go.
Basically, we've taken their system, put it into GHL.
So that way people can go through the system either on their.
or with a an instructor yeah yeah so is so Aaron is this kind of your baby and you're you're gonna
run how many answer yes to that okay the lead because i'm trying to work on rising salon sure
yeah each other like i do all the thumbnails and the graphic design and some of the implementation
yeah but he's doing more of the automations and all the stuff he did for rising salons
we're just switching to that company also yeah and do they have a lot of of tests like video
testimonials videos no they have a ton of written um a ton of written but video testimonies that's
kind of the next phase where we want to go they have three professionally done videos that talk
about the process um or basically what the product is and they're they're decent videos
um you know i mean it'd be a decent hook but uh but testimonies that's not quite there yet
and that's done anything digital they've wanted to but they haven't and then we got connected now
yeah um
so i mean you're you're gonna it's it's gonna go one or two you know ways either creating the
content right which you're gonna have to create to some degree anyway um and testing ads you know
what you you may or may not do and so um do you have like a is there like a page i can
is there like a page i can take a quick look at or something or
yeah um i mean all we have right now is really a funnel um we just started we just started
creating social and we're starting to add stuff to that um the best thing would be for you to go
in the system and see what it is that we've created so far because we have three of the
course packs done so you can go in and just see what the system would look like but i mean until
you get in the system there's no way to see it because they're really they're fearful that
people are going to see and find out what they're doing and duplicate it they're they're duplicate
it they're they're afraid that the the proprietary ip is going to be ripped off which you know
and and that's a lot of times that's part of the problem is that you know man uh i was trying to
do this with people in 2006 like people that were really really good at this thing but just
didn't understand digital marketing and trying to help them and um a lot of times you run into that
well i'm worried that someone's gonna steal our ideas and stuff and it's like well no one knows
about you like at all like amen like no one knows you and um and so but they're like i don't want to
and um and so it's always like i always think it's a worthy idea it's you just gotta you gotta
have the right elements because if i'm so worried like my my my my best content is where i share
my best advice and that's what gets people that don't know me to check out other things
so if i'm really guarded about my advice in my free content then you know here's here's the way
i've i've learned to think about it and i and this is this is always the discussion i have with
someone who doesn't understand digital marketing i'm trying to get them to understand is if you
give really good stuff away for free people think there's more people that think man i wonder what
their paid stuff is like that must be amazing more people think like that than oh i'm gonna
get all this free stuff and never pay a dime yes there are people like that but there's there's i
believe there's fewer of them than we're actually so worried about and and so
yuck their son is actually really open to that so he's on our and he under he's like mr. ai he
loves digital he he just doesn't understand social media so large bring that component in um so but
it's it's basically you watch a 20 minute video and it's the timing of the video and you work with
you watch a 20 minute video and it's the timing of the video and you work with eight words at
a time you're talking about the actual process itself yeah and so it's through that
so i'm just gonna ask you a question real quick so when you say you want to
see something or you want to see branding current messaging the product
I'm dealing at the marketing end.
I can't dig into the content or the back-end stuff.
This is what one of the worksheets look like.
You deal with a certain vowel sound,
and then it's words with dictionary letters above it.
There's a series of you go through writing this down,
then you visualize it,
and then you draw your own symbols,
and then you visualize it,
and then you go through the last page.
It's a simple process.
It's just how you market.
Marketing is sharing what it does, not what it is.
Yeah, the results.
You need a video of
your daughter's teacher that was blown away at her progress.
You need a video of you as parents sharing,
here's where she was,
here's where she is right now.
Because that's what it does.
What it is, that's what they get in the package.
That's what they pay for and they get.
You're selling the transformation,
not the information.
You're selling the transformation.
You're selling the destination,
not the transportation.
See, a lot of people, they sell the transportation.
You get six Zooms,
and four worksheets,
and three PDFs,
and two MP3s, and whatever.
That's the transportation.
We want the destination.
The destination is what you started with.
She couldn't read at a kindergarten level,
she's now reading a third grade level.
Just that captured well enough,
will sell, people will buy.
That's what you need to do,
is how do we get that across?
How do we get that in a reel?
How do we get that in a longer video?
How do we test some different ads with that?
But that's the destination.
You're selling the destination.
Can I ask one clarifying question on that?
Yeah.
How much on the transformation,
how much credibility does there need to be?
Or is that irrelevant as long
as we're talking about results and testimonies?
Well, credibility, what's the price of the course?
Fifteen dollars a video, a lesson.
It's not expensive.
It's $120 basically a month at minimum.
Because it's eight lessons a month minimum.
But it's designed to be
affordable because that's one of their hot buttons,
they don't want it to be
so expensive that the people who need it can't afford it.
There's also a mission there too.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your split with them?
Is it 50-50?
It's 50-50. How we set it up is,
we didn't buy into any of the IP because we didn't care.
All we cared about was really the sales that we
could do and the people that we can serve digitally.
Because their current business model is struggling.
It's all in-person.
We didn't want to take on that animal.
We just wanted to create something
new with a product that they already had.
But yeah, it's 50-50.
For me, you have to decide where you're at.
Where is, I do think with one or two good transformation stories,
I do think you could sell it.
I do think people would buy.
It's looking at what do you want to gain from this?
If you're wanting to make this six-figure business,
do the numbers, you're going to have to sell a lot of these.
You're going to have to sell a lot of them.
You just got to wait.
You just got to wait. Okay, how much of my time
am I willing to put toward this?
I get, when it comes to,
if something is a project of passion,
I'm much more apt to give money than time.
If I really want to see something succeed,
then I may put money behind it.
I just help fund it.
ladies ministry and
But I'm
You know, I'm not gonna put hour after hour to hour in you know into it
But I so to seed right
put some money into it and
And so I'm just I'm just always gonna like build that into my advice here
But if I'm my mission is I want to sell as many of these as humanly possible
It's coming up with I mean you only need a couple because any parent that has a child behind on reading
Well, basically try anything
Yeah, well
They'll try anything
$200 a lesson we like spending up to $1,000 a month. Yeah
So I would share that so that's part of the transformation. We were spending thousand dollars a month. She wasn't growing
We went through this. She's reading a third-degree level. Here's where you buy like
That's that's that's a good pitch. And so that's that's what I would focus on is developing that out and
You know and from from there, you know, you would you know, I
Would probably test with ads
But now you run into an issue
Because you make 50%
So now your ads have to be so good
So highly converting that you can afford to pay 50%
And and it's still profit
Most people can't make ads profitable period when they're keeping a hundred percent that's been rising salons
that's most companies, you know, the cost of ads are just you know, they're just they're just high and
and so
Most companies can't make it when they're keeping a hundred percent. So how are we going to do it when you're keeping 50?
and and so, you know, that's
And and if you're not if you're like, okay, I'm not going to do ads and okay
Then you just have to create a lot of content. And so now you're talking a lot of time. Are you willing, you know?
Now you got to create a lot of content, you know
And so what I would if if if I was given that mandate of creating that kind of content
then I would go and
Ask them. Hey, you've been they probably been doing a long time
I imagine they probably have hundreds of people you could call on interview them do a quick video with hey
How did this affect you or your child?
You know and all of that could be, you know pieces of content
Time and take a lot of time
But that's all all, you know, I'm not I'm I'm never gonna show
Hey, you just pick the eight words and they need this and I'm never ever going to show that
Because not because I'm worried people will steal it. I'm worried people will think it won't work
Yeah, and and so, you know and a lot of times
You know when you when you share the how or you share what it is
They're like, I don't know if that'll work. And so I wouldn't share that. I would share transformation stories
You know, here's went from here to here. We were spending this now this
that's that's what I would focus on and
You know, and maybe you can work a deal with them or something where
Okay, we split out, you know after ad costs we split out the difference, right
That's what you're gonna run into math problems, I think I think well any any ad spend that that's joint
So that's it's not just on us
You know, it's we're willing to invest our time to get it off the ground
But then all the infrastructure that's we we do utilize their personnel and we have no problem training, you know, training
Salesforce customer service that stuff we have no problem training that but we that wouldn't be our direct time
I was outside training. I guess yeah, kind of our business model is rising slant is our high ticket and
Lighthouse readers is our subscription. I
Mean they're two very different things, you know, like you're you know, there's two very very different verticals
There may be some crossover, but they're just two very different, you know verticals
So you're I think what you're trying to say is is we saw this as residual is what you're saying
It can be reset because once we build out the back office
We create some ads we start to get people coming through but we can't teach anything
Sure
You just have the acquisition you're you're in charge of acquisition
It's the front end us and then the rest of it if there's as people purchase as they want to go through the system
As they do assessments as they do all these things
It's the front end us and then the rest of it
the people through their nonprofit to be able to do all the, these extra things
that they have to do to find out where the kids are and help them with
instructors, like we'll never hire instructors.
We're not going to have those kinds of things.
It's just getting the system built and then they run the actual day to day.
Yeah.
So that's, I mean, that's what I would do.
I would have transformation stories, get that out there.
I was spending this now, this, that all of that front end acquisition kind of stuff.
And if you guys are splitting the ads, then, you know, test that, you know,
to, to just, to enter into ads, you gotta be very detail oriented.
You gotta, you gotta, you know, metrics it's all about numbers.
It's all advertising is all math to create the ability to spend more.
That's, that's it.
I spend $2, I make two 50.
How do I tweak that?
So I can make a little bit more.
And, um, and so, you know, and just, and just, just long-term keep an eye on how
much is this generating, is this, does this make sense for us to continue to do?
And it might, I hope it does.
I hope it does a lot of times these don't work out, but I'm hoping it does, you
know, cause it sounds, it sounds like a really cool thing.
Well, God shut the door on one of our other businesses, right.
As he was opening the door for us to merge into this.
And she's not somebody that just lets people in and God just
has opened door after open door.
And we've just doors that it's like, this is one of the only
doors that just continues to open.
So diligent and what God's telling us to move forward in.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I would look just at, uh, I don't know what else, what their, you
know, stack is their, um, escalation path or whatever, but I would, I would look
at, you know, like when I was helping a, uh, lady that ran an olive oil store,
this is a million years ago.
I was helping a lady that ran a, she had a few olive oil stores, right?
So you'd go in there and, you know, she had all these, you know, fancy
schmance, olive oils and balsamic vinegars and everything, and you get a
little shot glass, you could taste them and stuff.
And so I was encouraging her to like, just do really unique stuff.
Like take people over to Tuscany, take people, you know, do this big, you
know, show them, like, let them use the millstone to crush the olives and
stuff like, like, like go do like really cool, unique, fun stuff.
And, and so I would look at this model too and see, is there a higher end thing
that can be done, some kind of, I don't know, mentorship where someone's
teaching the kid directly or something?
I don't know.
I don't know what that looks like, but I would try to, because at those numbers,
you just, you just got to move so many for it to be meaningful that, you know,
I'm going to try to, how, how do we increase this?
How do we, how do we have a $10,000 option that is immersive, you know, for
the, you know, the family that's got that kind of money, right.
And have the option wherever anyone can do it, but also have a high end option
that, you know, the family in Port Royal Naples flies in and you help the
kid in a weekend or something, you know?
And so, I don't know, I'm going to look for something like that.
I'm not saying that's the answer, but I'm going to look for something like that.
I like that.
Sure.
Oh, helpful.
Yes.
Also, you just pray with us and for us over what, what could be blocks or
stumbling blocks that's keeping some of our, our faithfulness to what we feel
like God's calling us to just not moving forward.
Okay.
See you every day.
So, um, I'm, I wonder.
Is, is it moving forward, but it's not how you think it should be moving forward?
I mean, to be honest, um, for rising salons, especially, it's just, we've had a few different
meetings.
We just had one last week and it's just people getting to the point that we talk about money.
And then they say yes and then they, they don't move forward or, um, it just, it just
is to a point that I know for me, I feel very hopeless with it.
Like I create all this content, I'm doing videos, I'm trying, like, I don't know what
else to do.
And if God's favor isn't going to be on it at some point, I'm going to have to quit and
go back behind my chair because that's the one thing I know I can make money at.
And I can't keep investing my time into something that isn't going to also produce.
So I don't know if there's a spiritual block.
I mean, when you were talking about self-sabotage and not, not ready, like if you've got something
to tell us, like we want to hear, cause we're just going to, it's going to do it.
Like, don't ask questions.
Don't wait to pass, go like, we're going to flat, just do it.
And you know, spiritual warfare, we've been under so much of it.
And it's like, at what point do you just quit moving forward?
And we have opportunity, we see opportunity, we're ready to move forward.
We're spending time with God every morning.
Like we're teaching it, we're in youth group, we're mentoring kids, like we're doing all
these things.
And, and what is the block?
And that might be more than what we can talk about, you know, right.
But there were literally willing, like empty vessels, readying to be filled, taking opportunity
as God puts it in front of us.
And, and then like you give so much great content, so much great advice, when you tell
us to do it, we do it.
And so it's, it's not a lack of willingness, or it's just what is the next step?
So it's, it's what I, you know, what I found is it's, it's not, it's more about who am
I being than what, what all am I doing?
And, and, and so, you know, there were, I had periods where I was like, you know, Lord,
is there something else I'm supposed to do, like, tell me what to do, I'll do it.
And, and, you know, very, very similar, right, tell me what to do, I'll do it.
And, and he wanted me to come to some conclusions.
And I remember, you know, when I was in, and I'd love to hear if, if Rebecca's got
anything for us, too.
But I remember, you know, when I was, I was in the gym, I was listening to the Bible,
and I heard Isaiah 11, three and four, and it said, he will delight and be an obedient
to the Lord.
And I prayed, I'm like, Lord, do I delight and be an obedient to you?
No.
And he revealed to me that I was, I was obedient.
So he told me to do something, I did it.
But I was obedient, so that I would get my desires.
And it's, it's interesting, because like, prior to coming to God, that wasn't an issue.
I just went after my desires, it was easy.
And it's like, the closer I got to God, the more I needed to make it about him than me.
And he wanted to grow me in a different way.
And so I just prayed, Father, thank you for putting your will above my desires.
And I felt a physical shift.
And two days later, I understood sonship versus servanthood.
I'll do what you say, boss, sonship of I'm honored you asked me to do anything, and I
don't need a reward for it.
And I'm going to be happy to do it, because it's your will.
and do very, you know, just very different space.
And there have been a lot of things
that he's nudged me to do that just didn't make any sense.
Okay, I think I can share this.
So I, how do I share this?
This is tricky to share.
So there's a, there's someone he wanted me to hire, okay?
And he's, and he wanted me to hire this guy
to help me with one of my projects that I'm involved in.
And the project was making like,
you know, I don't know, 1,500 bucks a month
or something like that, right?
Nothing.
And so he wanted me to hire him for 5,000 a month
to help that project.
And so when I first did this, I'm like, oh man,
he's, God's about to blow it up.
All right, awesome.
And so, you know, I pay him the five grand,
pay him the next month, I pay him the next month,
literally no growth, none, zero.
And that right around probably that third month
is when I had that revelation
of putting his will above my desires.
And so I've continued to pay him five grand a month
because I know that's God's will
and I don't care what happens.
Just don't care.
It hasn't grown.
Will it?
I don't know.
Will it show up in different areas?
I don't know that either.
And so if I know that God's willing me to do it,
I know there's a reason and I trust him for that.
I don't need that result.
And so I would pray around that of, you know, Lord, what?
So first of all, I would pray.
And I think, you know, this is not an easy one
for people to truly pray,
but Father, thank you for putting your will
above my desire, number one, because here's the deal.
You don't trade anything off.
It's not, you don't get less
because his ways are higher than our ways.
So he's helped me in areas
that I never would have dreamed possible.
You know, he landed in my lap,
the best project I've ever had in my life.
And that wasn't on my radar.
And that happened after I prayed,
put your will above my desires.
And so I think people, if they hear that,
they're like, but I have really big desires.
He's got bigger.
Like his will for you is actually bigger
than you could possibly come up with.
And so that would be number one.
And then, you know, number two,
if I know I'm doing his will, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
He's gonna, you know, and that's,
I think it's Matthew 7, 14, I believe, is it, I think,
where it talks about, you know,
he's a perfect father and he knows what we need.
And so now I do ask him for a game plan.
You know, every Monday, I did it today, this morning.
Every Monday, I pray around the different projects
I'm a part of and I ask, okay, is there anything here
I need to do differently,
anything here I need to be aware of, right?
And so, you know, today he gave me, you know, this one.
Okay, what do you, you know, what am I doing here?
And so now that I believe, like, you know,
you are the queen of this assignment.
Like, let's just assume for now that this is your assignment
and you are to be, you are the number one person
in the world for this assignment.
So if you are the number one person
in the world for this assignment,
then take, you know, everything that you know
and go to him with your, you know, here's,
if I'm the queen of this, this is what I think I should do.
And Lord, what am I missing?
Is this a good plan?
Is there something else I should be doing?
Is there a different way for my heart to be?
And Father, thank you for aligning my heart with your heart.
Because it's, you know, if we're not,
if we're doing the thing we think he's calling us to do
and we're not getting results,
it's more likely a heart issue of where,
what am I missing here?
Because what I've seen over and over in my life
is he didn't bless me with the results.
until I fixed my heart around the issue.
And it wasn't that all of a sudden
I did 10 times more work.
A lot of times I did less work, got more results.
But my heart was different.
Literally, so he's had me in Romans, Philippians and James.
And you know the Bible well enough
to know what those three books talk about.
And I'm literally-
A lot.
A heart issue.
And it's been one that I've struggled with for a while.
And so I'm like, God, I just,
I have a toxic heart right now
and I don't know how to fix it.
And I need you to help me do this
because I can't do it on my own.
And now I don't have it right on me,
but I opened up my, he told me where to go
and I opened it up and it literally talked
about a toxic heart.
And it was in Romans where I have it written down
in my notes because it tells me to go places.
So I like, I have a specific area in our life
that I'm really struggling with.
And it's through that, that how do I move forward?
I'm typing some prayers for you.
Okay.
Even just this afternoon,
it was the same stuff that I was dealing with again.
So I took a break and I went in our room
and I just was like-
Because what he doesn't want to do,
he doesn't want you to get that thing
that you think you want and move on.
He'll keep you in that eye of the storm
until he gets the, you get the big payoff, right?
And so, you know, me getting the,
oh, I'm being obedient for my own desires.
Like that was a payoff.
The sonship was a humongous payoff.
The, if I go further back, right?
You know, over a year ago, it was,
I had to keep breaking you so you keep searching
and find the need to love yourself, right?
So that was a humongous payoff, right?
He wasn't about to bless what I was doing
and then me not get that lesson.
Yeah.
And this isn't a, this isn't a punishment.
This is, you know, Graham puts it best.
He says, God, you know, there are things
that God will allow in his wisdom
that he could easily prevent with his power.
And so he can, like that,
you can have every client you have convert.
You can have every sale just, ah,
like you'd have all kinds of money show up.
You could have some weird government grant come in
of 500 grand, right?
Like you'd have, you could do like that.
But if he has a lesson he's wanting you to get,
he may turn up the heat a little bit for you to get it
and turn it up so that when you're at the end of your rope,
there's less of you, more of him, right?
That's from the message Bible, Matthew 5, 3.
And so he won't just say, all right, fine.
Here's your results.
No, when he's got a big breakthrough,
a big upgrade for you,
cause that's what it is, it's an upgrade.
When he's got that upgrade for you, it's, you know,
so I'm gonna type you some prayers I think will help.
Yeah, cause I've been, we just have a lot of sabotage
going on and betrayal that's going on all around us.
And I am having a really hard time being joyful
when that's all around us
and it's specific areas that we can't get rid of.
And, but I've got it.
I just, so I'm doing teachings on Mondays
cause those are my training days
and I'm doing teachings on the things
that I know that I need to learn.
And I say like, these are things I'm dealing with,
but it's on loving and being joyful in the now,
because if you can't be joyful now,
then you're not gonna be joyful
when all the other things come too.
And so, you know, and that's a me thing.
Like I'm working on my gratitude every day
and, you know, using,
I've been using even your gratitude journal
because I am gonna doubt yours is really, is very simple.
And while I'm still working on mine, I'm it,
I've been using it.
And every morning, my very first thought,
when I start waking up in my head,
I'm like, okay, I've got to have this.
And then the self-sabotage,
when I feel the negativity coming in,
I have been trying to reword what I'm saying
in literally the opposite direction of what I'm thinking.
And so, like, I'm trying to put into action
the things that I know that the Bible calls us to.
And I just did a whole thing on transforming your mind
and guarding your heart and your mind.
And, you know.
allowing God to be the one to change you from the inside out.
Yeah, yeah. I'll put you some prayers in there. See if that's
helpful. I would say them anytime that you are feeling
that way. And and let him let him help you. I think I know he
will. He's got he's got you. He's not surprised. He's got
you right where he wants you. And so you know, let him help
you with that. Yeah, because I know that it's causing physical
issues, which then causes more things to happen because I've my
health stuff is being triggered by the mental and physical
stress that I feel so. But then we've got these incredible
opportunities to help people in two different arenas. And so
and I've got an amazing husband that, you know, right in the
middle of all of it with, with all of us. And that's right.
supporting each other through the early chaos. Yeah. Rebecca,
do you have anything?
Just two quick things. Tiffany, one, because you mentioned a
couple things. One, I'm sensing that there's some kind of spirit
of fear around this. And I don't, I don't get that. That's
not making sense to me. Maybe it does for you. But like a spirit
of fear around this. And then I heard, you're counting the cost
give more away. So maybe pray into that, too.
I think the fear part is just that it's never going to end. I
waited 13 years to marry my best friend. And then because of our
union, it's causing a ton of chaos around us. Because not
everyone's excited about us being together. And the devil's
one of them. Yeah. You know, like, did we really wait this
long for each other to just walk into this? I'm gonna guess
that's where a lot of the fear is. Okay. Let's hear something
else. And then I'm all ears.
Yeah, that's all I got. Sorry. But but this whole you're
counting the cost give more away.
Yeah, like, if you don't have, and then we'll, we'll move on
because I know there's quite a few people in the queue here. If
you don't have any, you know, like, what's the first thing I
asked you about the lighthouse readers is, do you have any
testimonials? Right? And so, you know, if you don't, you know,
you may decide, you know what, screw it, I'm just going to
mentor one of these, you know, salon girls. And I'm just going
to walk her through how to do it. And if you don't have an
awesome story, like, let me just go create one. It's like, you
know, I think I shared in here when Russell was launching,
Russell Brunson was launching ClickFunnels. You know, he just
looked for, he went to some hell, I forget the name of it
drew something, I forget, but he went to some health company
in California. And he's like, Hey, man, I want to come come
show you our new thing. And it won't cost you anything. And
it'll 10 times your sales. And they're like, Okay, and so he
goes there and does exactly what he says. Now he's got a really
amazing testimonial. And that's what helped him launch, you
know, ClickFunnels to the tune of hundreds of millions of
dollars. And and so if you don't have that point to, right, if
you don't have that go to story, that may be what, you
know, Rebecca's picking up on is just go, you know, someone who's
ready to, you know, hey, you know what, I'm gonna do
something crazy. But you're gonna, you're gonna have to be
willing to do every single thing that I tell you to do. But this
is what I'm willing in, like, actually go and create a story
if you don't have one.
All right. Awesome.
Keep us in the loop. Praying for you guys.
Thank you.
Alyssa. Thanks for your patience.
Yeah.
This is all good.
What's, what's a win personal or business?
Um, I guess business, I made a big change in my one business.
And some good things have been coming from it. I already brought
on two business partners in free, which is more than I did
in a year and a half and the other. Wow. So yeah. So that's a
big win. I am going back into my same pattern. Um, so I initially
raised my hand because last time we chatted, I was having I was
struggling
with my marketing, I didn't know what my niche should be,
who I should be speaking to.
And Rebecca had actually brought up,
cause I had just gotten back from like a
rewiring retreat thing.
And she, you know, had said something about it was
whatever my breakthrough was at that.
But I'm still struggling with that.
So I don't, that's what I was initially
gonna ask you about.
But then when you were talking to the first person
and basically was saying that the enemy will tell you words
that you're, you know, the words, the opposite words
than what the God-given words were.
And my words were brave, bold, and daring.
And I'm like, I am that way.
I made this huge change in my business,
which I'm thinking about doing.
And then I finally just, I found something that felt right
and I just did it.
But now I'm stopping again.
I'm putting up a wall and not like moving forward again.
So I'm finding that I'm willing to make
that big, bold change.
And then I come to a screeching halt
and I don't know why.
Yeah.
And so, you know, this is like every, you know, the,
you know, every day is new, right?
And so I don't, like every day I'm saying prayers.
I'm not relying on yesterday's prayers.
I'm not relying on yesterday's, how good did yesterday go?
Like every day I'm making a plan.
Every day I do a prayer walk.
Is there anything you wanna tell me?
I do a prayer walk.
Is there anything you wanna tell me?
Is there anything new I'm supposed to do?
And, you know, every day I have all these different notes
in my, you know, I just use the MacBook notes.
And, you know, every day it's, you know,
what am I promoting?
You know, what am I teaching?
I look at my different meetings.
And, you know, so I like part of my morning routine
is I look at my calendar and I thank God for his favor
on every one of those meetings.
And so thank you, God, that your favor goes before me
in this meeting, right?
I prayed that this morning.
And so I look at my calendar.
Thank you for your favor on these meetings.
Thank you for blessing these people I'll be with.
And that's a routine that I do every day.
What I don't do is I don't wake up
and just do whatever I feel like doing
because, you know, some days I don't feel like doing much,
you know, and so I don't operate off what I feel like doing.
I operate off, okay, what is going to provide value?
What is going to serve others?
What is it, if anything, does God have me to do?
Some days I don't get any instructions.
And so I'm like, okay, well,
I guess I'm just going to handle
whatever's on my calendar, right?
And if you're not someone who has things on their calendar,
then I would have a minimum.
So, you know, I remember, you know, years ago,
we did a cruise mastermind.
And on the cruise mastermind, there was, you know,
one of the spouses was there and I was talking about routine
and, you know, the guy was like, you know,
does this mean you work all day, every day?
And I'm like, no, but there are zero days
where I don't have any production.
So some days are low production,
some days are high production,
but there are zero days where there's no production,
where I just don't progress.
I don't put any content out.
I don't reach out to anyone.
I don't create anything.
There are none of those days.
Those days don't exist.
And so, but, you know, some days, I mean, there are,
you know, sometimes on a Saturday,
I'll do, you know, a 20 minute video.
That's it for the whole day.
I may not do anything else.
Now I'll still do my prayer.
I'll still do Bible.
I'll still do, you know, the other parts of my routine,
but as far as work, work, not much.
There are some Sundays where it's same thing,
where I don't, I just don't do a whole lot,
but it's not no production.
I'm still progressing.
And so I found,
because of, you know,
there's definitely been some projects lately that,
that
challenge me in ways I haven't been challenged. And so I just
like, okay, what would be a good verse for me around this stuff
that I can just come back to whenever I'm feeling like, I
can't do it, or I'm not meeting expectations or whatever. And so
you know, the verse I got to was, I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me. And so I just whenever I'm feeling
that way, I speak to myself more than I listen to myself. And so
I speak to myself, I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me, and I just feel empowered to go and do more. And
so I don't know if there's a verse that, you know, would
light you up. You know, like there's Zechariah 410, you
know, don't despise small beginnings for the Lord loves
the work to begin. Like, that's a good one. Right. And so I'm
not saying that, you know, you use whatever one you want,
right? With the Lord at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
That's another one. And so I would, you know, if you're more,
you know, faith based, then I would come up with a verse that
is like a go to, okay, when I don't when I feel like I'm stuck
when I feel I'm I hit a brick wall, or however you said it. I
initiate this process, and I move forward. And I have and if
it's a really rough day, and I have an entire page, you know,
verses, I'll read the entire page of verses. And and after
that, I definitely feel more empowered, you know, and I'll go
I'll go forward better. And so but it's the worst is waiting to
feel like it. That's a that's a losing plan. You know, listening
to yourself. That's a that's a losing plan. You know, you want
to speak to yourself more than you listen to yourself, you
want to, you know, amp up your identity, I am I am bold, brave
and daring, or whatever. I think it was something like that. You
know, I'm, I'm a bold, brave, daring daughter of the king,
you know, let's go, you know, jump up and fist bump or
whatever you do, and and go and go get it. And so I just think,
you know, having those, you know, routines, you know, there
are some days where I read my morning prayers twice that day,
you know, if I find myself kind of lagging in the afternoon, I'm
like, you know what, I need to snap out of this. Because I just
I am in, I have to manage my energy. I can't just succumb to
my energy and emotions. I have to manage it. I have to make I
have to catch if I'm low energy, I got to fix that. And,
you know, and I turned to God to help me with that, Lord, thank
you for increasing my energy. Lord, thank you for blessing me
and my family. Lord, thank you for equipping me and helping me.
You know, but I but I have to catch it. I don't just roll with
it. So is that does that help?
Yeah, it does. Because I think when you said, you know, speak
to myself more than I listen to myself, I listen to myself too
much. I think that most most people do. Most people do.
Yeah. So then so you just you just catch that, right? You
catch that and be like, Okay, you know, again, I just like the
concept. I just heard from Myron yesterday. You're the queen of
the assignment. You know, this is this is my assignment to be
absolutely excellent in this thing. And so you know, I'm,
it's my assignment, I want to be absolutely excellent in this
thing. What would that look like? That would look like me
moving forward? What would that look like today? And come up
with a game plan.
Okay. Well, thank you.
Yeah, you got it. Awesome. All right. Brenna.
Hello.
Hey, how are you?
Good. I'll share my win. My win is kind of twofold, though. So
after Easter, like the next day, that Monday, my husband, he
ended up getting into a pretty bad car wreck. Like, completely
totaled our car. But I'm choosing, you know, like, I know
God uses things that were meant to harm us for good. He had a
moment with God, like he and I have been praying, which is not
something that we have done much. So it's also I think,
grown, both of us closer, and then even a client that, you
know, we've been working with for many years, I was just like
being very raw and open with where I was like, we just
had a really intimate conversation. And I just felt
like a lot of debt. I felt like some of the situations that were
happening that I had no ideas were happening. We're just very
mirrored. And we were able to like, pray over that. So that
was very, like, just a beautiful moment, but I'm not gonna lie,
it's still challenging. I guess not. So it's, it doesn't
necessarily feel like I'm completely on the end of that.
But I will say, like, through it all, that does still feel like
a win.
Yeah. Yeah. I forget the I saw this quote is, um, don't be mad
at the wound that drew you closer to God, you know, and,
you know, I look back and, you know, some of the toughest
punches in the face, turned out to be some of the biggest
blessings, you know? And so yeah.
So I'm just sharing like, where I'm at what I've been feeling
called to do. I've been so I've been shifting my content to
what helping the people that I'm supposed to help. And through
that, I've been doing some. I like to talk a lot. That's where
I've found I have fastest growth. So I've been doing a
lot of cold market outreach, I just had chat GPT, create a
scripts, and I'll go through like viral videos. And I'll just
like, 30 minutes just like messaging people. But I thought
I felt kind of nudged to there was this Facebook group that was
pretty new. But I got connected with the founder of it. And we
had a conversation, we talked about the different goals. And,
you know, it felt very aligned. So we started to partner
together. And we're building out this Facebook group, I really,
you know, I'm inspired by what you've done. And I think that's
a good place to keep it intimate. But I'm just kind of
looking for some like tips and tricks to build out this
community. Really, I do believe it will grow. I've just I'm
still kind of like just trying to figure out how it all plays
together, I guess.
What what's your end goal, like desire for this community?
Well, I think it's just a way to serve others, you know, help
create. When I was remembering that I was sexually abused, I
didn't have many resources to draw on. And the resources that
I did have to draw on they were subpar at best. So the founder
So the founder and I we talked about just giving that that
space to others, you know, I often I wrote about this how I
just feel like when you're when you realize you've been sexually
abused, I feel like people look at it like, okay, you're just
gonna be miserable your whole life, you're just gonna like,
the expectations aren't really to thrive afterwards. So the
whole idea is, you can thrive, like, and that's the name of it.
thriving after trauma. So that's really the whole theme of it. So
I guess that's what my goal is to just for others.
So I think I mean, the biggest, the biggest thing, I think, to
provide in something like that is hope. And so, you know, hope
is in the form of people who've been through it, but went on to
still have meaningful lives, and, and help others. And so,
you know, that could be you, you know, or whoever doing interviews
in there, or sharing their story in there. And, you know, and
vulnerability, you know, I think that's, that would be the key
components of, of that.
Do you have any suggestions for not necessarily everyone has
Facebook? Is there a way to still kind of, like, funnel them
in somehow? Or I mean, not necessarily in but, you know, I
want to sometimes I feel like when you're just posting on
Tick Tock, yes, you can create community like that. But I guess
I just wanted something intimate, you know, and, and
something intimate, and with others. So did you have do you
have any ideas for that?
I mean, some I know some people use discord, some people use WhatsApp.
What's the other one?
I think those are the two that I've heard the most of because I do realize some people
on TikTok don't just don't like Facebook don't want to be on there.
And so.
I mean, there's you some people create their own, you know, they use
mighty networks or
a couple there's a couple versions of that type of thing.
But WhatsApp and discord are probably the two more common ones that aren't connected
to Facebook that I don't think anyone has issues with using, you know,
so you can make it happen in either of those.
Okay.
I just don't want
you know, I want to have to kind of like this funnel.
So I discord spent in my awareness.
So I think maybe I'll do some more research into looking at that and then
I think ultimately the goal is to create a master class that kind of incorporates
it all so that that can be like the transformation and the selling
points, but I think create the community first and then it will happen.
So
I mean, I would probably create I mean, it may not be a master class, but I would
probably create some kind of deep dive thing
that oh, yeah school school's another one or moses.
And so, you know, I it may make sense to
from the get-go to have some kind of option that someone either buys.
You know, of course,
you know, and that may not you may not call it a master class at first.
Maybe it's it's just a you know,
but I what I have seen is sometimes when people take a free community
and then all of a sudden they introduce something for sale.
Sometimes that can disrupt the community and go now they're all about money,
you know, like people you just people are so banged up about money like they're
you know, there's there's banged up about money and
and so, you know, I think, you know creating the course because one it goes
And so, you know, I think, you know creating the course because one it gives
people the opportunity to dive deeper.
Okay, some, you know, some people they want to dive deeper and they wish that
you had something for sale.
Now other people never want to buy anything ever and you know, and that's
okay too.
They can be part of the community, but I would probably have okay.
What would what would a great course look like?
Does it have to be the end-all be-all?
Does it have to be master class or you know, contain everything to be known
but something that's good enough.
That's going to help people if they want to dive deeper and then have interviews
and different stories and vulnerability in the in the community for everybody.
Okay.
How would you do you have any tips or any places to send for someone who would
want to start a course maybe any research that could potentially be beneficial?
Yeah, I mean I would
so the things that I would look at when we when we think of a course, it's okay.
What's the outcome?
What do we what do we what's the promise?
What's the outcome?
So we have to think about that.
What do they need to do to achieve that outcome?
And probably the most important category that most trainers leave out is why won't
they do those things?
So if we know what what do they need to do to achieve that outcome?
We have to also think why won't what are possible reasons?
They won't do those things to achieve that outcome.
And so, you know that when I started teaching, you know, for most of my career.
I taught what to do and but what really helped more people was why you won't do
what you need to do and so talking about sabotage talking about you know patterns talking about
childhood wounds talking about you know those kind of things is actually what helped a lot
more people than just telling them what to do everyone will tell you i just tell me what to do
i'll do it no you won't most people won't if you just tell them what to do most people will not do
it either they have a fear of success they have a fear of failure they have you know sibling wounds
where they they don't like the limelight um you know so there's there's you know so including
those things in a course is is really really powerful you know i would imagine in a course
like that you would have something around forgiveness and in that scenario right they
they're going to feel fully justified to not forgive not realizing that that's what's actually
harming them yeah and you know and so like they feel justified they did this it's unjust yes
agreed 100 percent um wasn't you know not right that it happened to you but here's you know
forgiveness is you letting go of you helping yourself actually is you getting that off of you
and um there's a lot of you know biblical to that yeah absolutely so that would be you know
some examples now you could um you know between you and your the other guy or whoever there uh you
may have certain strategies and tactics and things that have been helpful to you you know obviously
you'd include them but don't you don't have to overthink a course just think about if you were
asked to speak at a abuse shelter okay you would probably come up you know let's say they gave you
an hour well you'd probably come up with pretty good content and a course is as if you just
recorded that content you're selling the recording a lot of people overthink a course it's just a
recorded training okay this has given me a lot to think of so yeah yeah you got it you got it
all right colleen
hey that was good i'm still taking notes from that part
awesome um just actually that might be helpful even with with teaching my team right now i'm
feeling like yeah i gotta like get in there more because there's a lot of um i think a lot of people
holding back if that makes sense um so the last little while i've been i just i guess maybe
confirmation or any feedback on what my brand is and or the direction that i'm taking my business
um i've had the the setback a couple weeks ago that um we had spoke about before where um in
my business i'm responsible if someone basically um sells a bunch of stuff uh and then cancels it
um i'm responsible for that sale they they basically frauded me out of like 150 000 so
that's super awesome and i'm trying to be like oh positive but also i'm like oh i need to eat food
and um also at the same time in the last little while um in the last couple weeks um there's
someone on tiktok that's impersonating me and they're they frauded people out of like a ton
of money um i just keep getting all these messages bitcoin or something or what they're like getting
them to email them money for my services which i never wow people never email me money for my
services and um number one it kind of puts me at risk because what i do is financial related and i
have regulatory regulations and then i went and complained to my company one of the person i'm
like i can't control the internet like i stay on my tiktok email me money disclosure this disclosure
that but still um people are do and it's been like in the last two weeks like a lot of people
messaging me and then i just was thinking like god is this is this like is this like just a trial or
tribulation or you know with when you have more followers you have more things like that happen
or are you saying like maybe it's time to switch directions or maybe it's time to kind of change
what we're doing and maybe two months maybe three months ago i just had this thought from god of
like i have more income sources for you than just this and so i've just been trying to be really
open and saying is this just part of the trial and tribulation or is this like something else
right um it's kind of just feeling pretty
like oh you do this content and you always it is what it is i mean you do
content to help other people, but then someone's taking it and
really harming people with it.
Yeah, it sucks. It does. Yeah, I have. I have impersonators on
tech talk that have more followers than me. It's pretty,
it's pretty crappy. And all of my all of my impersonators and
they're everywhere. They're all Bitcoin guys. So they're all
they're all constantly scheming people, you know, for crypto.
And so, you know, I don't. Every once in a while, someone to
reach out, Hey, man, you got a new crypto project? I'm like,
not me, man, not me. And, you know, so that's, that's tough.
Yeah. And, and when you so these questions that you that you
brought me, are you've gone to prayer in these questions?
Because these are great questions to go to prayer.
Yeah, I've been, you know, praying over it over the last
since this has been kind of happening, right? Um, but I'm
not really getting a lot of feedback. You know, I yeah.
All right, let me
Yeah, um, you know, Myron, Myron said something interesting
yesterday, he said, he said, it's not about surrendering to
God, which I've always thought that was an important word.
Right? I've always thought that that was, you know, that was
important. And I think that's, that's, that's, that's, that's
Yeah, I've always thought that was an important word. Right?
I've always thought that that was, you know, and he said,
because you only surrender to an enemy, you yield to God, you
yield to a higher power, surrender is, is to an opposing
force. And he's not an opposing force. And and it's not
surrender sounds almost like a like a quit, right kind of
thing. And but yield, Lord, I yield to you, you know, and and
so that's what keeps popping up for me with you. And so I think
the prayer there would be father, you know, so we know
the Bible hack, right, the hack of all life is thanking him for
what it is that we want. You know, Philippians four, Mark
1124, when you pray praise, if you've already received, so
Father, thank you for helping me yield to you. Father, thank you
for helping me yield to you and your will. And
and there's, there's, I think I get that there's something
there's something there, there's something there with you yielding
to him. And I don't get like a tactic or something for you.
Hey, go and go and do this bucko. But I get that, you
know, you'll yield to him. And that's what I get. That's what I
just keep getting. Rebecca, you get anything?
What can I word up?
Just a scripture that I shared in the chat, but no, I'll be praying about this Colleen
because that's, that's rough and not his desire for you, obviously.
So yeah, it's not, and it's like, yeah, I mean, on one hand it is what it is, but also
just, yeah, I just feel mixed up about it and I feel like, um, I just want to be open
to God's will and I just, it's making me for whatever reason, feel like, is this exactly
the right direction?
And, um, and maybe it's even just being willing to like what's coming up for me right now
as even, it's just not even necessarily about, maybe this isn't the directions, but it's
about being open to the direction.
Does that make sense?
It's being open to say to God, well, I guess if this isn't what you want me to do, then
I'll change it, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I need to change it.
And so I'm Googling this yield word because I'm like, I don't really understand the difference
like yielding is like, you let someone go in front of you to make way.
I, I like, I'm like, what, what is, what is that?
Well said.
Yeah.
Um, that, you know, were to, um, you know, like when you go to the, um, wailing wall
in, in Jerusalem, they have, um, you know, like the, you know, women wear a covering,
um, and men, you have to wear either a yarmulke or a hat.
You gotta wear something on your head.
And, and I, you know, I was ignorant.
I'm just like, well, you know, why, what, what's that, you know, represent or whatever?
Cause it's interesting, you know, like when you, when someone does the pledge of allegiance,
you take your hat off, right.
And, you know, you, you don't, don't, don't wear a hat during the pledge of allegiance.
So why is it where, you know, cause people were walking in with baseball hats, you know?
And the reason is that they said, uh, that's to remind you there's always someone above you.
Right.
Interesting.
And, um, and I, you know, I liked that.
I thought that, Oh my God, that's cool.
You know, just to remember that, because I know in a business, a lot of times it's easy
for us to forget that.
And for us to be, it's, it's, it's going to be, it's up to me, hustle grind, you know,
I'm the one creating all the results.
And he has just completely eradicated me of any thoughts that I'm creating any results.
I'm not creating any results because he's just made magical stuff happen.
You know, just stuff I could not have done.
I couldn't have done.
And there's been things that I've done that I thought would get me amazing results.
Didn't work at all.
And other things that just, he blessed and just did amazing.
And, um, and so just, you know, yielding our life, you know, to him and yielding our life
to him serving others.
That's the one, two step.
And, you know, that's, that's the two things we're, we're to do.
And so, and I would, I would ask, I would ask, you know, what does this yield look like to
you, Lord?
What does this look like in my life?
Thank you for helping me do it.
What does it look like?
Help me out.
What do you have to say about this?
Yeah.
It's such an interesting word too, because if you look it up now, I'm looking at, it's
also yield is also like the profit off of something.
Like it's a financial measure as well.
So like, and I'm going to have to pray about that word.
That's the word I kept getting bombarded with.
I was trying to get a different word.
I couldn't get a different word.
That's the only word I got.
Yield.
Let him provide, maybe produce or provide.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
I'll let other people go.
I appreciate that.
We're going to pray.
All right, keep us in the loop, Lauren.
Hello.
Hey, what's happening?
How are you doing?
I'm doing amazing.
So that's, that's my blessing.
And my win is like, I'm not in the hospital.
Finally.
It's been about a month and a half in and out of the hospital, three different.
So it's, I'm blessed to be here tonight.
But I also, I love that you just talked about yielding and surrender, because my word for
the year was surrender.
And I kept saying to the Lord during this time of being in the hospital, I was like,
I'm surrendering, Lord.
So I love that.
I'm not.
that you're like not surrendering to the enemy, but yielding to him. So I really love that.
When I was in the hospital, well, when I started, you know, about a month, about a month and a half
ago, you told me about the Ministry of Overcoming. And I did that, you know, for about a month
straight, you know, and then all of a sudden, I started getting sick. So I wasn't doing it anymore.
And then, of course, I was in the hospital, in and out of the hospital, so I haven't done it.
And when I was in the hospital, I was like, Lord, I'm supposed to be doing this Ministry
of Overcoming and I'm not doing it. And that's where he kind of showed me, because I share
everything on Facebook. I'm very vulnerable on Facebook with what I go through. And he said,
look at all the people that are praying for you. I had hundreds of people praying for me.
And he showed me there's four different types of people that were on my post. You know, the first
group were the ones who I knew would be in the throne room with God, you know, with him praying
for me. And then the second one who just they had that care and concern, and they would say a prayer
to Jesus, but not with him. And then the third one, they said they were praying, but they really
didn't. But they had a glimpse of him for a moment. So they did thank you, just for a moment.
And then the fourth group was, they weren't praying, and they don't pray, but they were
drawn in for some reason. They didn't know why the Holy Spirit was drawing him into that.
And so the Lord was kind of showing me, it's like, you are still working for me.
You're not doing, but you're being, you know, like you talked about earlier.
Yeah.
So I guess where I'm at now, I'm still recovering. I just got out of the hospital about two, three
days ago, for the third time. And I want to jump into my business tree, I should say.
But I was thinking about doing a five-day challenge on praying with God for these
different people that the Lord's showing me. But I guess I'm at the point where,
do I wait, or do I heal a little bit more? You know, because I'm still wearing oxygen.
I get short of breath sometimes talking. I'm kind of like, I'm not really sure if I should
slow down to speed up, or just jump in with both feet.
Yeah, I mean, I think the answer there is pray on that. But I mean, I think it's inspiring.
I think you'll actually inspire people. If you get a green light from the Lord,
I think it would be inspiring to hear you, you know, do it while you don't have everything all
while you don't have everything all fixed and healed and perfect. You know, but I would pray
on that, you know, I pray on that. But I feel like that would be inspiring. You know, people
saying, man, I don't know if I'd be doing a five-day challenge right now if I was her,
you know, like that, that's actually inspiring. And, and I love Alana's question here,
does it give you energy? You know, like I had a client, one of my very first clients ever,
this was way back in 2000, probably six, she had, it's, I had to be just God that
moved me to even ask this question. But she had fibromyalgia. So fibromyalgia is like,
you know, 80 pain points in the body. And she was, she was telling me how much she loves coaching.
And she was also sharing how often she was in pain. And, and so I just asked her, I said,
hey, when you're coaching someone, are you in pain? She goes, no. And then she thought about it.
And she realized, yeah, I'm not, I'm not in pain when I'm coaching someone. And it was like a big
breakthrough for her. And, you know, cause she's in pain all the time, except when she was coaching
somebody. And so it's, you know, it's just interesting. And, and so I think that's, I think
it's a great question that Alana asked, does it give you energy? Yeah. Anytime I talk about the
Lord with other people, it gives me energy, obviously. And I love what you just said too,
about inspiring people. Cause two days after getting out of hospital, I went to my niece's
wedding and also, you know, went and saw my grandson, my new grandson today. And people were
like, they were kind of amazed because they know what I've gone through this past month and a half.
And they're like,
Like, I don't know how you do it.
I did bed crawl, go up under a blanket and you, and yet I'm still
exercising and eating, you know, meal prepping and, and so I'm thinking
that maybe by what you're saying, step into the challenge, it is something
that, you know, with the Lord's strength, you know, that he'll give me
this to do and just showing how he can carry me through and strengthen me in it.
Yeah.
Again, I would pray on that, you know?
Um, but I, that would not surprise me at all.
If he said, yes, go do it.
All right.
Well, thank you.
Yeah.
Rooting for you.
Keep us in the loop.
Let us know how it goes.
Okay.
We'll do.
All right.
God bless Alana.
We'll get you on here.
Hey, what's going on?
Uh, good.
I'm good.
Um, my name is Alana.
I'm out from Australia.
What time is it there?
Uh, it's one 11.
Oh, it's 11, 11 here.
So good.
I love that.
Thank you.
Uh, so my wins, uh, my personal wins, uh, well, there's no coincidence that I'm
on the call because God I've been the Christian journey for me has been like,
uh, one that I'm still quite childlike in.
And yet I've been getting much closer.
Uh, especially in the last couple of weeks, I've been going to this new
church down the road from where I am.
And it's the message has been really hitting home and I'm really understanding
and I had God in my business before a couple of years ago, I like entered church
and he moved in my business really big.
And then just had a big journey with that.
But, um, recently it's been, um, getting stronger.
So I didn't even know that you ran business through faith, but because I'm
in the energy crew and the TFA crew, and you were presenting on there just felt a
real resonance and then we jumped in here.
And then I saw that your faith field and I was like, Oh, that's so cool.
That's such a interesting, uh, segue.
God's always coming at me in all different avenues and fighting me anyway.
Um, and so there's a few things I've been coming through in that.
So I'm celebrating that.
Uh, I'm also celebrating that.
I've been stepping into my leadership this month and been on 20 or so calls, which is
now produced like this week, I'm celebrating 70 K getting processed in my organization
this week.
So it's big and I'm pretty proud of the version of me that's showing up in that way.
Yeah.
Now I'm really close to having some big shifts in my business, which is the dashes
for me.
And for that's like what I've been working my way through to, uh, pretty much the whole
reason why I've started this business.
I guess it's not really why you start the business, but it's something that is why I
want to, um, is that legacy piece is really the shifts that I'm here for is that
generational shifts.
And God put on my heart on Sunday, um, uh, a charity mission that I've got to bring
through so I can see all the pieces are starting to come through.
Anyway, my question comes back to business, um, because we are seeing you in June.
And when I spoke to Michael, you know, he spoke about, um, becoming like a testimony
to the work that you do.
And then I realized it's really a testimony to God, uh, of what he can do for you.
And he's already moving so quickly in my business with me.
And, um, and I seen that, like what you've done for Samara, I actually wanted to ask,
like, what are those things that you've done?
I'm willing, I'm courageous.
I'm, you know, I don't have any things that hold me back anymore.
I just, you know, I'm willing to just do the things.
Um, and I'm just wanting to know what are the things like, tell me the things and I'll
do them.
And I want to be there on stage, you know, when we are celebrating in June to like be
like, Hey, cause it's only 160 K sales left to have that celebration.
So I can do 70 K off 20 calls, like what's possible in a month.
Yeah, I mean, love it.
So, so I think you're asking what did I have Samara do is that.
Yeah, like what are some of the big leaps because because she's now running quite a few positions on, you know, I think legacy as well.
Yeah, and she's, I feel like her way of approach as well is similar to me, where she's a go getter, she can, she'll get out there she inspires a lot of people I'm very good at that as well I'm probably not great at like the system side of thing.
I love to leverage other people to help me with that. Yeah, but I'm really great in person and connecting with people and inspiring people holding space for people's stuff that comes up, because I've come from trauma, I know, I mean now is not the version of me once before so I've been through the craft and got to where I am now, so I can understand the different things you need to get through to get this.
I feel that's where I'm in my power is when I'm on a call. So I don't know why I take taken this long to do calls but.
Yeah, yeah I just want to be able to make the most impact in, because I know that I can do leaps and bounds. So, yeah, I mean I would say, with, you know, with her and me, you know, we did.
I mean, a call a week for six months, you know, so like, you know, I was one on one. And then she had me, you know, one to two times a month with her team.
There's, there's a lot right we first of all we did a lot together, but I would say the three main things. She is a very system person. And, you know, she's very metrics.
You know, I think, although I
think she would say this.
She's gotten better at the people connecting.
She, I mean she's a systems person, right, she just loves systems. And, and so the one of the first conversations I had was, she had her system set up to where you either wanted to run ads, or don't even bother.
And so I'm like, you know, there's going to be people that come in that just don't want to run the ads or they just don't have the mindset for that. And so I would be more flexible and how people can participate.
I said you don't have to teach it, find somebody organization that, you know, likes attraction marketing or likes reach outs and prospecting, have them teach it so that was kind of number one is opening up flexibility in her onboarding and systems.
Number two is I did spend a, I mean I was on today with her team. She's doing a team event so she hired me to speak at the team event today and tomorrow.
And, and so I did spend a lot of time with her team. So there's because there's, you know, if you just I've had a lot of clients over the years that, you know, they'll say things like you, you say exactly what I say to them but for some reason they listen to you differently.
And that's the favorite uncle scenario, you know, it's, you know, the mom and dad are trying to get the kid to do something but when the uncle says it, it's a good idea. Right.
And, and so I did spend a lot of time with her team number two, and then number three, I very thoroughly went through her sales process and changed a lot of words, change the order of what she offered the sale.
For example, I mean I, you know, this isn't a quick answer, but, um, you know, one, one issue they were having is they were, they were off, they were pushing too hard on the quad, which you know what I'm talking about, I assume.
So they were pushing too hard on the quad prior to financing. And the tricky part about that is if you push the quad before the financing, then if they get financing for less than what they can get the quad. Now it's a diminishment.
So what will happen is you'll have someone who absolutely would have spent seven grand won't spend anything.
and like that, and that they were doing that.
And so that right there, I mean, I don't know.
She told me there's been a whole bunch of rank advances
and their team has just crushed it.
If I had to guess that probably added 10 to 20% more sales,
just that right there, just that one changing.
And so I know, cause are you with Christie?
Are you in Christie's team?
Yeah, so I know Christie's gonna have me,
I think it's in two weeks, I think.
But I know Christie's gonna have me
to go through her sales process.
But it is a combination of posture and timing.
And so just that constant maintaining of posture,
it's just so important, especially with what you guys do,
cause it's a high ticket.
So posture is management of the energy of the conversation.
And so it's, I'm trying to think of some examples.
That's anytime I've ever trained an adjunct people,
that's been their biggest takeaway,
whether it was Mike and Darren, Priscilla and Colton,
their teams, Samara, like postures is always
like the biggest thing that people struggle with.
And you probably don't, but I bet your team does.
And so, just knowing the difference
between a nice polite order taker
and someone who actually has posture.
And so, for example, when I give you two rules of posture,
one, never move forward out of weakness.
Never move forward out of weakness.
So never move forward out of weakness would be,
you know, hey, you know, do you see,
no, you've gone through the, what do you guys call it?
Welcome video, you guys have different terms that you use,
but you have someone go through a video.
What do you call that initial video?
Like a masterclass.
A masterclass, okay.
So you've been through a masterclass.
Is this something you see yourself doing?
Yeah, I guess.
See, I'm not gonna move forward.
I'm gonna say you guess.
So you watch that masterclass and you're not sure
if this is a fit for you or not.
Is that what you're saying to me?
Because, you know, we can save some time.
You know, if this isn't the right thing for you,
then cool, man, you know, I wish you the best.
You see what I mean?
Now, most people, they'd say,
hey, do you see yourself doing this business?
And they'd say, yeah, I guess.
And be like, all right, great, awesome.
Let's move forward, right?
They would just move forward out of weakness
and they don't know how much they stumbled already.
They're just on a false, they're on false ground.
They're just, they're sliding off of the ground.
The second, another rule of posture is,
when you, in the absence of progress,
fall back on position.
In the absence of progress,
if I can't progress, fall back on position.
So this is how I sold and recruited a lot of people
that didn't like the video.
So I'm gonna say, you know,
I'm gonna say, you know,
I sold and recruited a lot of people
that didn't like the video.
So, hey, did you get a chance to watch a video?
Yeah, I did and it sucked, it was terrible.
I can't progress forward.
I can't say, okay, great.
When are you ready to get started?
Like I can't, you know, that doesn't make any sense.
And so, but I also don't,
I don't need to know all the reasons why they thought,
you know, it sucked.
Cause that can, you know, just not be very fruitful.
So I fall back on position.
What's their position?
They watched a video.
You should have a very high close rate
on someone that watches a video.
They watched the video.
And so I say, okay, cool.
Okay, you didn't like the video.
Wow, okay.
Hmm, man, geez.
I don't care if I've heard that 99 times in a row.
I don't care if I've never met a human being
that's ever liked the video.
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna be like, oh, wow.
Okay, you didn't like the video, wow.
Babe, they didn't like the video.
Really?
Did you watch the right video?
That's what I asked.
Okay, well, what were you hoping to see?
Okay, that's a good question.
So what were you hoping to see
allows me to cut through the chase here
because the purpose of them
was not to get turned on by the video.
The purpose was to help them accomplish
what they're actually trying to accomplish.
And so, you know, persuade.
Manipulation is getting someone to do what they actually already want to do.
Manipulation is getting them to do what I want them to do.
And so if I'm trying to push them to do something that they just don't want to do, that's manipulation,
that's convincing.
And we were never in the convincing business, because that's very tiring, it's very gross.
And so it's, you know, what were you hoping to do?
And I've, you know, what were you what were you hoping to see?
And most times what they were hoping to see is you can absolutely help with, I've never
had, I don't think I've ever had anyone say, well, I was hoping it would do something we
can't do.
Like, I don't I don't think I've ever heard that.
And so by just hearing them say that, and so like some want to do it part time, want
to do it on the weekends, you know, whatever, right, whatever, what were you hoping to see
is almost always something you can actually help with.
And so just just having posture at every corner of the sales process.
And you know, so no matter where we're going, we're never moving forward out of weakness,
we're never progressing, you know, we fall back on position if we need to, we're qualifying,
we're we're, we're not letting, they're not making us play fetch.
You know, they're not, they're not, they're not running the show, we're leading them through
the process.
And that's, that's posture.
And that's where a lot of people have really, yeah, I'm just like, winging it, but it's
it's Yeah, I'm getting better.
Yeah.
And it's just, and it just, and that's, that's the common, I've never met any, any, any company,
a top salesperson that didn't have posture, never, not one time, they, they always have
posture always.
And you know, and so, you know, if someone is super negative to them, they're not, they're
not playing patty cake, they're not pretty pleased in them, they're, they're like, okay,
hey, if it's not fit, totally cool, I can mark it off the list.
Like they'll say things like that, like I would say things like that.
And so just maintaining the energy of the conversation.
Thank you.
And I feel like I'll get a lot out of math, math, like the class that you do in our training
in a couple of weeks.
So I feel like I should talk more about like, what God's been asking of me, because I don't
really have a lot of people in my circle to talk to about what God's been asking me, gonna
get emotional.
So it's something that he's asked me to do before, and I let it go.
And then it came through in worship the other day.
And then the message was the same about it was about the story of Peter, and him feeling
like God wasn't, you know, going to be happy with him, but then God included him still
and still loved him.
And anyway, that's a short version of how the story went, but the so that's kind of
how I felt with this, because I haven't, like, I'm, like, worthy of doing this.
Yeah, what's been asked of me, but it's because I run an event called, which is a silent disco,
I get actually hired to go to a lot of the retreats and do this now in the communities
and in TFE, I've done it on stage, and I've done it in a different way.
But God's asked me to do it like what it's called waves of worship.
And because I do it like outside, I do it down the beach, and bring in like prayer and
worship music and bring people together to have it outside of just church, like having
worship time through the week or with people coming together and being together.
So yeah, I just didn't, I don't know if you've got anything that, you know, God speaks to
you about if you want to pray over it for me, so that I have the courage, because I
do have a lot of courage.
And I know that I usually will do the thing that I want to, and I've already created the
whole flow of it.
And I know what it's going to look like.
And I know it will be amazing.
But there's still a level of fear around it, which is uncommon for me, because I'm going
to run one that very similar, you know, on Sunday at a retreat.
So are you saying you're called to do it in San Diego?
I'm just called to start it like here on the beach, at least.
And then I know that God will work through me and create it, start putting it on wherever
he wants me to put it on, you know, I had the, you know, it's come up a lot, I traveled
through Australia in a caravan, and I was out, went to a little church in the
Indigenous down. And, you know, it came through there. And I
was like, I could see it being done in the communities. You
know, just Jesus and God celebration to people because
you go into the headphones, and you're just kind of like in the
worship. And it's just this beautiful experience to really
be in the music and be in with God at the same time. Yeah. I
can see how it will deepen my connection as well, because it
will call me forth into more scripture. And I've already got
scripture, because, you know, since Sunday, I started to
think about the scripture that I'd love to, you know, infuse in
there to inspire people through that as well. Yeah, through
courage and what God wants for you.
Yeah, so I don't know, I don't know if you have this book, my
latest book, the picture of a network marketer. But the but
the first chapter is obedience. And in it, I share a lot of
times where he's called me to do something that was very
uncomfortable. And there was always a reward after, like,
you know, one of the stories in there I share in chapter one
is, you know, I got asked to speak at this event in Arizona
500 business leaders. And when I prayed about, okay, Lord, you
know, what am I what am I teaching? I got read Isaiah 53.
And I'm like, Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know I
didn't know it back then. And so I look it up. I'm like, Oh,
man, I mean, it's all about Jesus. And, and then do an altar
call. And I'm like, what, like, this isn't a Christian event.
This is a business event. And the leader had already told me
there's gonna be Orthodox Jewish, new age, non believers,
and some Christians. And like, seriously, and like, man,
you're gonna have to help me with this. And and so he
actually had me I met with a guy that like the day before I
flew out, I met with this guy. And he was like, he goes, Yeah,
man, you know, the, you know, it's the living word, man, it
cuts through, you know, bone and marrow from the book of
Hebrews. And, and that that that little that little meeting
with him gave me a little bit more confidence to do it. But I
was still extremely nervous. And, you know, but I, I do it
right. And the way that my my business partner puts it as he
says, upstairs, permit permission should lead to bold
action downstairs. So upstairs, so God giving you permission
should lead to bold action. Because if he if he's calling
you to do it, he's going to cover it. And and he's, he's
going to be with you in that thing. And and so it's quite the
blessing when you know, because you know, there's, you'll
notice there's a lot of people on here, I don't know what God's
calling me to do. And but when when you are called to do it,
there's there's always a payoff, there's always more.
And I really believe we get to dictate or we not dictate, but
we influence the velocity of locating our real purpose and
calling by just how quickly we're obedient. Like, are we,
you know, are we, are we obedient when he nudges us to
or do we take 20 years to write that book? And, you know, and
so when he's nudging you, you know, to do something, I
remember, you know, it was a Thursday, I was in Oklahoma
City. And, you know, in prayer, I got share your faith with
your dad. And I'm like, Ooh, you know, I hadn't had a phone
call with him in 20 years. And I'm just like, and so I get on
the phone with them. And I start telling them about my
story. And I'm like, you know, there's a there's a prayer that
I said that changed my life. And I can, you know, you can
repeat after me if you'd like. And he goes, Okay. I'm like,
what? Like, this doesn't make any sense. And and so I walk
him through it. He accepts Christ, I hang up the phone, I
just bawl my eyes out. It was just like, so wild. And, and
then, like the next, like, very shortly after that was
Father's Day. And I was up in North Carolina, and I got led to
go to this very strange, there's all these these mega
churches, all these super nice high end churches. And there's
this one church that's, it's called like feed and seed or
something like that. There's hay on the ground. And they talk
all about Gideon, and how Gideon
actually led his dad to God.
And Lord sent me to that church to hear that message
for me to get how significant that actually was.
And I shared it with the pastor afterwards.
He's like, oh man, I'd love to have you preach.
Will you be here next week?
I'm like, I don't know.
And I wasn't, but it's just,
I would just encourage you,
just know that 2 Corinthians 12, nine,
my power is made perfect in your weakness.
He'll be with you and just thank him for being with you.
Thank him for, we abide in Christ and Christ abides in us
and he's with us.
He'll never leave us or forsake us.
I'll show you, this is my wallpaper here.
It's from Matthew 11 and Jesus, by the way,
the big bull or the little guy.
And so notice the yoke,
the word yoke sounds like we're being pulled.
We're not being pulled, right?
Notice how slack it is, right?
It's slack, right?
We're actually at rest.
So we're actually at rest while working,
while co-laboring with Christ, we're at rest.
We're not rushing ahead.
Come on, Jesus, hurry, step it up, right?
No, he's moving with us.
We're going with him and it's just the burden is light.
It's not a big, big deal.
And so just thank him for leading you
and thank him for being with you and go and do that thing.
It's gonna be amazing.
And he's gonna have you do another thing
that makes you uncomfortable.
I know, he's pretty very loud in my lunch.
It's good.
And it probably means that there's someone
he's wanting to send there that he's ready to receive.
It probably means that there's a timing thing on this
of there's someone that he's wanting to come to your thing
and is gonna be a big player in the kingdom or something.
I don't know.
Yeah, beautiful, thank you.
Helpful?
Yes, thank you, awesome.
Awesome, all right, Beverly, how are we doing?
I couldn't get unmuted, thank you.
Just recently, a couple of wins.
Recently, you spoke about if you lost someone
or if they came back and you could talk to them,
they would want you to think about them being in heaven
and free of illness and all this.
And so I had a friend I was losing
and we were going home palliative care with her.
So I did exactly what you said and you were right on.
She just agreed with everything you said
and it was awesome.
And it was so good to talk about it, you know, so.
Wow, powerful, powerful.
And second thing I want, business-wise,
I wanna tell you about,
I ranked up last month through Diamond Apprentice.
Whoa, congrats.
Thank you, thank you.
And my next question is to do with your new app.
You know, Ray, I used to pray for you before you were saved
because I've been following you for years,
but I never dreamt that it would,
I was so grateful when you got saved,
but I never dreamt it would advance to this level
with you in spirituality.
It's awesome, so.
Oh, thank you.
Appreciate that.
My question is to do with the app,
that I don't wanna expect from what I'm doing,
but I wanna be in God's will.
And I do believe that it's a way I can spread the gospel
or get people closer to God, you know?
Yeah.
In Canada, so.
Ah.
Yeah, and I just don't know.
I haven't asked you for that.
I wanted to know what to do about that.
Yeah, so it's,
so yeah, so it's very likely
that Canada will be the next country that we open
because that is where we have
the second most amount of members,
you know, for now.
I'll just, I think the best way for me to answer this
is answer it the way,
like, what if I was in Canada, right?
What if I was in your shoes, what would I do?
So what I would do is really threefold.
One,
I would get into that and I would study the heck out of it.
The content is amazing.
I mean, it changed my life.
And for those that don't know, it's not my content, okay?
It's a guy named Graham Cooks and mainly,
he's the main author.
And so I would get into the content,
start learning the content.
I would start ILTing, right?
Sharing the content, because it's good content.
So even if you didn't have anything,
it'd just be like, you know,
if someone ILTed my books or something, right?
Or you ILTed a Tony Robbins book or whatever.
It's good content.
So that's period, good content.
You put it out there, people will be attracted to it.
It'll help them.
So that's one, get into the content.
Two, share and ILT it, share what I'm learning,
any breakthroughs I have, put it out there
because it's good.
And three, point people.
I would personally point people to Graham.
Like I would point people to like his crafted prayer book.
That's the book that I first,
that's how I got introduced to Graham.
And I would create more followers of Graham
to prepare the ground for when the app was ready.
There is no way, because people have asked us,
there's no way for us to like hold a place marker
or something of, okay, go tell everyone in Canada
and then we'll just snap them in.
There's just no way for us to do that legally.
And we just can't.
But, you know, get into the content, share the content,
point people to maybe Graham's books
because he's got 20 books.
And that's what I would do.
And then when it does open,
then you'll be very well prepared.
You'll have people that like Graham,
you'll have a lot of content out there.
You will have, you know, hey guys,
you know the last whatever, four months or whatever it is,
I've actually been pulling from this app right here
and you will know the content well,
if you've been, even if you just do 10 minutes a day
of that content, you're gonna get to know it.
Would you suggest that I send them to YouTube
because I've been watching so much Graham on YouTube.
You could, yeah, you could, yeah.
Cause he's so unique, you know, it's,
I mean, he's just unique.
He's just a unique voice in faith.
And so it's, you know, it's unique.
And you could still, you know, with your, you know,
with your, you know, company that you're in, right?
You're still generating a lead,
connected with the lead, determining the need.
You're gonna have people that get attracted
to your content, connect with them.
You know, they may be open to your company
or your product or, you know, what you're doing.
And so I would, you know, I'm not saying to,
I would not stop building that company.
You just hit a rank advance.
I would continue to build that.
But as far as content, that's, you know,
it'll actually make content easier
because there's so much back there
and it's very easily translatable.
Like there's some people where their content
is kind of hard to, I think, make into other content.
His is very easy.
He speaks in unique ways to, he makes it easy.
Yeah.
I was looking forward to hearing
what he had to say about sleep too.
Yeah, he's got all kinds of sleep stuff.
I mean, I haven't listened to those,
but yeah.
And what were your top three in there?
Your top, what did I do ask you
for the link on Facebook, message you there?
Yeah.
And my top three trainings I like,
is that what you're asking?
So under live conferences,
the art of thinking brilliantly is amazing.
It is just incredible.
Under courses, I like constant continuous favor.
It's a really cool one.
And probably his most popular one.
It's great.
It's fruit of the spirit,
but he's got some word in front of it.
It's fruit of the spirit.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, you got it.
Awesome.
All right.
Yay, Beverly.
All right.
Heather.
What's happening?
You're muted.
There, I was trying to get my camera to work with me.
Yeah.
My camera, holy moly.
I would say my win, my praise, I would say that I'm getting better at listening to how
God wants to do things because sometimes I admit, I'll confess it out loud, I tend to
take the reins and you know where this is going to go, I think it was yesterday where
I thought that it was something where I would say that God was telling me to do it but then
it shouldn't be hard so finally I just said okay fine, this obviously is not what you
want me to do and I found a devotional that I haven't looked at in a long time of helping
with, it's like a doubting heart and it came out, I just recorded myself and then put it
online and I would say doing that, it was like, it just, when I rewatched it, okay that
makes more sense, it's not lengthy, it's just short, starting off small and it was interesting,
it was just interesting how it came out but before that was a picture where I kept taking
all these weird poses like I thought I was supposed to just talk while I was taking a
picture of myself or something and me just holding a coffee mug and it was so simple
because I worked so hard like the other one where I was like okay I'm backing off, I took
all these pictures, is there one of them you want God and there was the one with me holding
the coffee cup a certain way looking up and then it was like, all of a sudden it was like,
did you know that God loves you unconditionally and it was just short, sweet to the point but
it had a lot of action to it and I'm like okay, we're gonna, like I keep forgetting that sometimes
God just wants it to be simple without it being so, you know, we're getting better at making the
videos, trying to get better at it but I would say that was my win and me talking to this other
person that's doing the same business was also a win and I just, she was talking to,
she had asked me, we had, for some reason she was just having a bad, not so great day and I don't
know her that well but it's like my finger just went right to the whole messenger phase time
and I was a nervous Nancy because I'm like okay, don't know what's going on with this,
she comes on and she looks at me because she had already told me that she was not comfortable being
on camera and I was just like okay, this is like me kind of getting a glimpse of me in the beginning
before I started doing this of, I was, help the person you used to be, yeah and it was just like,
but it's like even more of that, like she was taught, she, it was just, it was funny to see the
other side that I hadn't seen in a while because I'm not even a year in this business yet but I
was trying, she was like, but you look so comfortable, I'm like you should see the sweaty
palms every time I'm doing it and there's even times where I had to be creative where, and this
is why we vulnerably share our story because it gives other people hope, so you're good. Yeah, it
was really awesome and to a point where I, like in the middle of this week, like we had a talk and
I had shared with her sometimes I have to put a stuffed animal behind the camera
and to look at the stuffed animal or put myself in so I can look outside at something other than
the camera and she's like, but you look so natural, I'm like yeah, I've been getting that a lot
and every time I cry somebody's like, don't apologize, you're just sharing your heart
and of course every once in a while the sponsor will come in and say,
it was a little bit lengthy Heather because you start to lose people about eight minutes to 10
minutes into a video, you know, but I don't care, you know, like I've gotten to a point where
I appreciate her but I don't care anymore because
God's getting the glory from it somewhere, somehow.
Nice.
Like, and it's been interesting, even Easter.
I didn't make it to my family
because God and I took a detour with the husband
and picked up a total stranger kid
because it was like, okay, God kept saying,
go get him, ask him for a ride.
But when we went to turn around and take a different route
to turn the car around, he disappeared.
But then out of the blue, he showed up again.
And so God was just like, using that,
hit the store up the road twice in one day.
So I was like, okay,
we're at least going on a road trip somewhere.
Finally got the kid, but long story short,
I got to talk to the kid about, like,
I said, this is random, but do you need a ride somewhere?
And it just made me laugh.
Long story short, I am going to stay focused.
I wondered if you could check out my Facebook page.
I have one, and I also have a,
I guess they call it VIP, still learning that,
for just products.
So I just like, I don't know how to do that.
I don't know how to share my, like, how do you do that?
Do I just?
Yeah, one second, let me just look it up.
Yeah, because I think you guys
have my Heather McLaughlin on Facebook.
But yeah, it's been an interesting ride with God.
And even to the point that girl left me a message,
very long message.
In the beginning, I wasn't sure.
Is this?
Okay, all right.
I'm not gonna promote my business on there anymore.
I just want, the kitchen looked nice.
I was like, why not?
This is so cool.
Please be advised, I may be too happy.
Just kidding.
Oh, and I got two planters, too.
That was pretty cool.
Cool to see the other side.
So are you doing like a video a day or something, or?
I'm trying to, I'm mixing it up with singing, too.
I love to sing, and my worship flags,
I've got to repair them.
Because I haven't did that in a while.
I'm known as the crazy cat lady a little bit, too.
I'm also noticing, I mean, it,
workout videos seem to be pretty good, too.
I'm random, what can I say?
And then you have God, random, too.
It's just even more fun.
It's a good picture.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I,
what's this say?
Yeah, I mean, like, I feel like you're,
let me see here.
I saw a comment in here, hold on.
So like Lauren said, you have the spirit of joy on you,
wherever, whenever you speak,
I also smile and feel a sense of joy and happiness.
Like, I kind of, I get that, you know?
And I think that, you know, you,
you know, spreading that in whatever way that you can
is definitely beneficial.
And so I think that, you know, you could,
you know, just be a person that is a person of joy.
It really helps people with joy and you can talk about pretty much anything,
you know, like your, your picture of you with the, all the face cream on and
you're, you know, smiling like I, you know, I feel like, yeah, that's like
kind of your, um, how you would, you attract others.
Yeah.
I have all the products.
I think the snow and sun cleanser is my favorite.
I think
if there, I mean, if there was one, if there was one thing that I would change,
right, is, um, I would want to raise more curiosity.
So I never used the name of my company in my social media profiles.
I just, I just didn't.
And so I would talk about, you know, I might talk about, Hey,
congratulations to Nikki who joined the team way to go.
Like I, I like, so my team name was team start living.
And, and so, Hey, welcome Nikki to TSL team.
Start living way to go.
I'm I'm I'm yes.
I'm doing that to edify, you know, the person in love on the person, but
I'm more doing it for people to wonder what's, what is that?
Well, if I give the name of the company, then they can go and do
their own independent research.
They don't need me anymore.
And I'll never know they ever even did the research.
And so, so when they see that company name, which you have quite a few places,
right, they just Amazon, eBay, Google, they got, they got what they need to know.
So there's no, there's no curiosity there.
And, and so I would just look at, so I might, if I'm, you know, doing the face
cream thing, I'm just like, I love my face cream.
It makes me feel so good.
Yeah.
But I'm not saying the name of the company.
And so that people are like, well, what cream is that?
What, what, what are you using?
And, and so I'm just, I'm going to want to raise more, you know, curiosity, but
still keep that spirit of fun and joy and likeability and, you know, that, that you
have.
I'm wondering if I should do that also in my VIP group, which it's growing, but
it's not really like it's slowly growing.
Um, that one is, uh, I think the name of it, it's, uh, Irman Irman K beauty with
Heather.
It's already, you already named it, right?
So they, they already know, you know, what it's all about.
They already know what to Google or, or Amazon or whatever.
Um, but I just think, you know, you having that, you know, keep, I don't think your
content necessarily has to change that much.
I would just not use the name of that company and, you know, do dancing, do
singing and do fun stuff, high energy joy.
Um, but, um, just not, I would just be very sparingly with, you know, the name of
the company.
I just got my confirmation because I actually felt like that was a little piece
of it.
Um, a good piece of it because I actually kept thinking, what if I was different?
Because there's a lot of them that remind this, remind that it's, it, to me,
yeah, yeah.
Like it's supposed to mean the only, the only, the only exception is YouTube.
Like if you're doing YouTubes, I would use the name of the company because that's
a search engine.
I can do longer videos in YouTube too.
Right?
Like you can do, you can do long, you can do long videos on Facebook too.
Um, you know, so yeah.
And you can always, I used to do tick too.
And then I just stopped, I guess, you know, okay.
I, I would think that your personality would work, work well on Dick talk.
I would think.
Oh, I was, I think that's what happened was I, before I even was in this business,
I was getting kind of addicted to it because it's funny.
It made me laugh because I'd be suckers that got into them.
Crazy cat videos are America's funniest videos.
And I'd be laughing.
My husband said, it's like really late.
What are you watching?
Yeah.
Like tick tock.
I, I.
thinking i'd like to go back to that because it was you know we were all told at one point it
wasn't gonna still be alive and i'm like well i don't want to get my hopes up but at least with
that you don't have to worry about losing your um what you call it your videos and you don't save
them which i did not know i was killing my own algorithm whatever they call it because it asked
me if i wanted to save it and i just delete it say don't really need that one so old and
then i heard one of your messages and i'm like oh
all right yeah that was where it like that was the biggest one is um and trying i think it was
i think i was talking to rebecca about um trying to have a routine in the morning because
i tend to have a squirrel brain i start off real good the calendar thing we're getting there but
it's just yeah i mean well i was actually doing some of the 20 minute walks and stuff and
and it was like i think i just like even my sponsor gave me you know you should reach out
to five followers and all this stuff and i'm like but a part of me is like yeah that's nice but i'm
really having a hard time it should come natural right to want to do it but i was kind of like i
mean we don't having that we don't typically want to do things we haven't been doing you know we
don't we don't usually feel like doing things we haven't been doing yeah oh yeah and i i watch
way too many zoom calls um because like she said heather you can have your own zoom call
because you know so much you should be doing your own you need to watch another one just because
you unless you have a new planner on board yeah that makes sense but i was i admit hubby was
working until 11 at night so i'd be kind of what can i learn from this zoom from another person
speaking the same stuff and i'm like yeah she's like that's probably where you're wasting your
you're not doing money activities and yeah yeah so i'm learning as i go
so adding i think adding tiktok saying the company name less
uh i think that's good what do you what do you think does that help i think it has like it really
i i really appreciate that because who doesn't like tiktok i like the fact that i can pause it
and then say something else i miss that instagram is a little overwhelming to me
facebook there's too much of a time limit when you're recording like
yeah well that was good i um okay we'll keep us in the loop let us know how it goes
thanks rory all right all right heather lynn
hey hey
you're muted
you're still muted
all right there we go okay thank you all right thank you for the opportunity tonight i know
that i had some marching orders from our last gathering and i have changed my banner
i have gone live at least three times each week since we last spoke i am not getting any
engagement from folks who are not already in the company so i'm a little frustrated
and i also like you still i i don't okay
so you're it says
move everything longevity with lynn guiding high desire individuals to prosperity with the hope
blueprint so this doesn't tell me you were stuck for 26 years it doesn't still tell me that you
help people who are stuck click on the picture there's a 26 year it's not showing right there
most people aren't going to click it though that's the problem right
so we have on the outside of our store right lens
No, but on the inside of the store, we have all kinds of stuff.
There's a lot of people that will never come inside the store to learn.
And then in your, your intro, you know, it's obviously the same, you know, very
similar, you know, thing.
And, um, and just, just pray around that because I've, I've, I've shared that
specific feedback three times and, and so either I got it wrong and, um, you're not
to include talking to people that are stuck.
Um, or there's, there's some, there's something there, like, why, why is it
always, you know, you, you did make a tweak.
I give you that.
You, you tweaked it, right?
You're not mixing health and wealth anymore.
You're, um, but like the, the biggest, most unique thing of your story is not
located in your marketing, unless I dig deeper, which most people are not going
to dig deeper and, you know, they're going to, they're going to see the sign
on the side of the road and be like, Oh, you know, that's not for me.
Like you, you have this, this glaring bat signal for all ye who have been stuck,
but you don't, I don't know.
Is it that you don't want to use it?
No, I mentioned in every single one of my lives.
Why do you think it's not in, in your main marketing assets?
It's there is a banner directly below the verbiage that says 26 years in the making.
There's a little, if you click on my picture, it'll show you.
So I just have to change that.
So it's not in the dead space area.
And that's something I learned today watching right here.
Oh yeah.
So it's on there.
It's just not, you don't see it on my banner.
When you go to my page alone, you have to click on it, but it's, but it's not.
Like, like you're, you're the, you're the master of helping people who are
stuck because you, you, you're stuck for so long, but there's, you know, what's,
do you feel like there's resistance to using that verbiage, that kind of verbiage?
Is it, you don't want to be known, not, you don't want to be known
as helping people get unstuck.
No, I just haven't used that verbiage in any of my things so
far, helping people get through the, I'm using, I'm using the hope
blueprint as the four-step process.
I'm not, the hope blueprint doesn't recognize the stuck aspect of it.
So maybe this, maybe this will help.
Maybe this will help.
You may have heard me say this, you know, Ben, Ben Settle is one of
the best copywriters of all time.
And he's a little intense.
So, you know, be, be warned, you know, but you know, Ben, he talks about,
talk more about their crap than you're a weed killer, talk more about
their crab grass than you're a weed killer, right?
You're so you're, you're leading with, I help high desire individuals to
prosperity with the hope blueprint.
Someone who feels stuck will probably not resonate with that.
They'll probably think something like, oh, that sounds great.
Good for her.
But if only they knew your story, if only the story was, was
more easily accessed and, you know, and.
Um, and so like this, obviously this is one you did a while ago.
This is great copy, right?
This is good.
26 years, direct selling fund experience, a real financial breakthrough.
This is great.
And it, you know, it's clear, right.
People responded like nuts.
Um, you can't, you can't say.
You can't say this enough.
If you said it, if you literally had this as part of your headline in every
live you ever did for the rest of your life, you can't say it enough.
You know, David Ogilvie says you're not speaking to a standing army.
You're speaking to a marching parade.
So we're not speaking to a standing army of everyone watching every video Ray does
or every video Lynn does, it's a marching parade, they're chasing kids, doing
laundry, they're busy, right?
So we, we have to, we have to say the thing we've said a thousand times, but
we have to, we just have to keep saying it.
and we have to, you know, keep speaking this language over and over and over.
You know, like I just, I've never... where did I lose my button? Where's my button?
Hold on. There we go. So I just, I never am in front of a hundred percent of people
who've heard my story. Like today, crazy. All right. So the last, I was just sharing this with
somebody, but Alana, right? And so, you know, I've been working with this leader for six months.
She's had me with her team twice a month, every month. And today she ran a retreat
somewhere up in Canada. And, you know, so this is like my home crowd, right? I've been talking to,
there was one person there who had never tuned in for six months, right? She'd made it to the
team retreat. So there, you know, she had never experienced, you know, had never done any of my
training. We always have that. We always have people that don't know our story. And so it just,
I'm just want to encourage you to, I really believe the more, the more prominent, the more
you talk about that. I really believe that that's going to be the key. I really do.
I'm going back to looking at your stuff here.
I did forget to mention a win. Yeah, go ahead. I had, we went to an event, a business event over the weekend.
We drove to Kansas city where the formulator of the company and some other people were doing some
training, some leaders doing training. And I introduced in that group because everybody
there was highly motivated and driven. And I still have not pinpointed an individual that could,
where I could coach them for free with the blueprint to get their testimony, to bring more
people around. And two people jumped on the offer at that event. So I was excited for that opportunity.
Great. And so, so two people are taking you up on helping them get unstuck.
Yes. And so for a lengthy amount of time, like myself and have never had success until
joining our company. So similar situation. So they're excited.
Yeah. And so, you know, just, you know, catalog, right. What, you know, pray about them, right.
Is there, is there something they're holding on to? Do they have some beliefs or strongholds or,
you know, like pray, pray about that, that kind of stuff catalog where, how long,
because a good, a good testimonial is how long were they stuck? What was their number one issue?
Right. And, you know, where's life now? So we're, we're painting that, that future of where,
where's life now. But I looked at another, just, just like, you can't talk about stuckness enough.
If every single post you did was about stuckness. And I, and I get it, I get it that,
you know, you're a positive person. Right. And, you know, so when we look at.
So like this, you know, this is, you know, positive, right. Where was it? There's something
I saw. Yeah. So this, you know, is positive. This is it. It's like, this is nice, good content.
What, but if you like talking about what were, what were some of your thoughts on the tough days?
Because in 26 years, you definitely had some tough days. Like let it, letting people in,
letting people in to, I don't just have to have this always positive front facing storefront,
but like, what were some of the tough days? Like, what were some of the, am I ever going?
to have a breakthrough.
I've been at this thing for decades.
Like, you know, I'm like, man, what is it?
God, what is wrong with me?
Like, I'm not putting words in your mouth,
but you probably had some of those kinds of days.
That's where people are.
And those are the exact people that you're called to help
that are right there, that aren't, they're not,
you're just, those people aren't going to respond
to something super positive
because it's on a completely different wavelength of them.
They're going to respond.
So like, I got a lot of people.
I'll show my post.
Amen.
Let's do it.
Amen.
Now you don't have to have the entire post
or the entire live or the entire anything
stay about stuckness, but you want to lead them there.
And so I'll show you an example right here.
So this, I mean, I've written a lot of stuff.
It's gotten more responses,
but the interesting thing was who responded.
Like, you know, like some of these people
literally never comment on my stuff, several of them.
And so, you know, what does it start with?
I had to keep breaking you so you would keep searching
and find the need to love yourself.
That's what I heard in prayer 14 months ago
when I had so many things going wrong
and was frustrated, angry, and confused with God.
Ever been there?
Right, so I'm entering their world.
And some of the, brother, I needed this in ways
I can't even explain.
I needed to hear this so much right now.
So what is it that your perfect person
needs to hear right now?
Like get into that mind.
What do they need to hear?
That person that is stuck, they need to know,
does anyone know what I'm going through?
Does anyone understand how I feel?
That's what they need.
They need someone to come alongside of them and say,
hey, I've been where you've been.
I've had the look in the mirror, shake my head moments,
or whatever it is, you know, for you, right?
Whatever you experienced, your authentic feelings
of the, you know, the tougher times.
We're just, we're not going to attract those people
that you're best called to serve
with unicorns and rainbows, with all positive.
I'm not saying you don't,
because I end that thing positive.
I say, you know, I look at my life now
in such a different place.
I love every single minute of what I do.
God moved a lot of people.
You know, so I end it,
but man, I really resonate with them in the,
you know, in the top.
And I'm not saying that mine is aimed at,
my screens are all weird now.
Not used to it.
I just noticed, after midnight, your time.
We're on the next day.
This happens more.
Yeah, yeah, this happens.
I'm very proud.
So with the live intros,
I tend to want to stay smart with the intros on lives,
but still want to go into,
because what you just showed as an example
is a post, not a live.
So, and I guess I recognize-
That could be a live, you know?
Like I'm saying that post is kind of a model
of how I would create, just create content,
you know, period.
Now a real, you know, you only got so much time, right?
So if I'm doing, if, so let me do the same example
I did for Beverly, in that, okay, if I'm in your shoes,
so if I believe that I'm called to help people
that are stuck, and so I'm, no question,
any post, any live, I'm absolutely starting with,
hey, I remember it was May 14th, 2018,
and I'm just like, what the hell is going on?
And I'd been stuck for years.
I'm going to start there.
I'm going to start with that sort of start.
And then I'm going to say,
there were some things that I did.
I learned about this.
learned about that.
And now I've hit a rank that I'd never thought I would hit
and things are great and I can help you too, here's how.
And so, but I'm in any post, in any live,
I'm absolutely gonna start there.
So if I'm doing a real, I don't have as much time.
So I'm gonna have to be snappy, I'm gonna have to be quick.
So it's gonna be like, hey, coming from someone
who was stuck for 26 years
before they had a financial breakthrough,
here are three tips to get unstuck right now.
So even in the real, I'm sharing,
I mean, that was probably four seconds,
I'm sharing that quick story.
I'm literally carrying it with me wherever I go
because it's unique, it's powerful,
it speaks to them, they feel understood.
And so I'm using my superpower
in every piece of content that I create.
And that's, I'm not assuming
that people saw the live before.
And by the way, another Ben Settle quote is,
people never bore hearing about their problem.
People never bore about hearing about their problem.
So it's not like someone's gonna be like,
all right, enough lady talking about your stuckness.
The person who's stuck will tune in constantly.
So you would get more consistent results,
that 335 comments and it's probably half you, half them.
So, okay, 170 or whatever it is.
You'll get more consistent results like that.
And the more consistent of that,
the more people are gonna start seeing your stuff
and that's how you grow.
Now, as soon as we switch gears and we go,
hey, we're super positive,
a handful of them will remember our story
and be like, oh, she's positive now, right?
Handful of them, but most of them
just won't resonate with it.
They're gonna resonate with the stuckness.
They're gonna resonate with,
how can you help me, the person that's stuck?
What's in it for me?
And is she speaking to me?
Okay.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, so always lead with that.
Always.
I'm gonna always, I know that may sound weird,
but if I'm serving them,
I am not serving them with happy faces.
I'm not serving them with starting from a frequency
that they're not at.
Okay.
And I gotta meet them where they are,
then take them where we wanna take them,
but I gotta meet them where they are.
So, when I went and spoke for troubled teenagers,
and these kids in and out of jail,
and they told me, they're like,
well, if you're gonna speak to them,
don't speak to that table,
because that was the rough table.
That's the table I went and spoke to.
And as I walked up, you could see it on their faces.
They're like, who's this white boy, right?
They're just like, just openly, right?
Just openly, like, who's this guy think he is?
And so I shared, you know, hey guys,
I remember having to testify at a murder trial,
having a gun pulled on me, poked it in my chest.
I, you know, I shared, you know, within five minutes,
all of them, listen, this guy gets me.
This guy understands my world.
And so I had to meet them where they are
to take them where I wanted to take them,
which is to give them hope, right?
To say, hey, listen, I was voted party animal
in high school and it didn't finish on time.
So I really lived up to it.
I was a real mess, you know,
and I can tell you there's hope.
And so here's some, you know, some suggestions
I'll give you just from someone who may understand
a little bit of where you're coming from.
And, you know, so, but I had to meet them where they are,
or else they're not listening to a word I say.
They're just like, whatever, right?
Because that was their plan.
Their plan was to not listen to me at all.
And, but when they got, oh, oh, he's, he understands us,
you know, then they listened.
Okay.
All right, I'll go back to the drawing board.
It's not the drawing board.
It's, it's, you know, you know how to do it.
I'll put the 26 at the top because I,
I, you don't really realize when you're looking
at everything in Canva, not everything appears
in your banner, on your banner, on all the devices.
Right.
So I got to rearrange a lot of that.
But, but even so.
top. Yeah, so I'm looking at it. So this is, it's not clear, right? 26 years in the making
doesn't tell me how long you were stuck. Like in your head, it's like, oh yeah, 26, you know,
26 years in the making. That's not, that's not clear enough. We would want that to be clear
after, after, you know, after, you know, struggling to build a business for 26 years
before I had my first financial breakthrough, I can help you get unstuck. Very clear.
I know what this person does. Very clear. 26 years in the making. It's not clear.
Is that when she became an entrepreneur? We don't know. We're not sure. And so just the,
you know, I think it's, who is it? Rory, I think. He says, Rory Vaden, you know, clear beats clever.
Sometimes we come up with something that sounds good, but it's not clear. We want clear.
You know, like, like Rory had a book, I think he sold like 50 million copies or something.
And, um, you know, it was, uh, take the stairs. That was the name of the book.
Very clear. Right. Take the stairs. Right. And his next book, he said was way better,
but it was, it wasn't as clear. Didn't sell one, one hundredth of the, you know, same as,
as this one, it was a better book. It wasn't as clear. And so like, we want to be clear.
We're clear. We'll dial in our, our people will find us and they will believe in us.
We'll connect with them. They'll trust us and you'll help them. Okay. Thank you.
I had other questions. I can wait until the next session because it's very late and there's more
people with hands up. So I'll just hold on. I appreciate it. Okay. That's your,
that's your big shift. I feel like we're, we've gotten there. I feel like we're there.
Thank you. You got it. Emily.
What's up? Hi. Hey. This is my first call. I'm so excited to be. Yeah. The marathon call, huh?
Awesome. I'm sorry. I said the marathon call. Awesome. And so, yeah. So what's,
what's a win for, I mean, it's your first call. So what's, what's a win personal business.
Awesome. My win is just be on this call. So that's my big win. I've been waiting for this moment.
So yeah, that's my win for now. And so since it's my first call, of course I have a million
business questions, but I really want to focus on my inner spiritual work. Like what is God's
purpose for me, you know, in my life and also in my business. So I always have been struggling with
my identity because I always have been a follower. Like I follow what people tell me what to do.
I mean, for the longest time, they give you a little bit of context. I'm, I'm born deaf.
I have a cochlear implant and I guess like growing up, always follow what people
tell me what to do. Like my parents, my friends, and I never really
found who I am, I guess. So anyways, and I think that is what is causing me
struggle in my business because I don't know how to share value. If I don't know who I am,
who God wants me to be and how I share that value. If I'm making any sense.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So let me
just pray about you.
Okay, so when I pray about someone, I'll get, you know, three words, how God sees you.
And so this is actually, there was someone else on here that had something at least similar.
She might not be on here anymore.
Yeah, I think it was Allison, I feel like. And so I get bold, brave, and daring.
And so that's powerful. That's kind of a firecracker, right? Does that resonate?
Well, it's funny, because
I felt like I could be that person, but I was too afraid to be brave and daring.
I'm really comfortable with somebody, I know I can be that kind of person.
I find that really interesting.
So just know, you know, it's, you know, God doesn't give us a spirit of fear,
right? So fear is not from God. It's not from God. And there's also, there's no condemnation
in Christ. So neither is condemnation. Most people know that verse, but they still condemn
themselves. And so your actual how God sees you is bold, brave, and daring. That's how He sees you.
And so any kind of talking against that is false. It's not true. And so I think He's
wanting you to embrace who you actually are and how He sees you. Bold, brave, and daring.
You know, like, I haven't prayed about this, but
so like a Caleb, you know, like, you know, Graham, Graham cook talks a lot about Caleb,
and Caleb was, you know, there were, you know, 12 spies that they sent into the promised land,
right? There was, you know, Joshua, Caleb, and the 10 others, okay. And they come back,
and 10 of them are like, there's giants out there. And they're like, we look like grasshoppers. And,
and, you know, Caleb's like, they got a bunch of giants out there. This is going to be amazing,
you know? And, and so, you know, Caleb believed in the strength of God. Everyone else only looked
at their own strength. You know, the other 10, right? Joshua and Caleb were on team,
let's go God. The other 10 literally wanted to stone the two of them, wanted to kill the two
of them to shut up because, you know, there's no way they're going to the promised land,
right? So they relied on their own might. Caleb and Joshua saw God has anointed us to go in there,
those giants aren't going to be a problem. And, and so that's like, that's your natural
spirit is that I'm not afraid. I am, you know, bold, brave, and daring. Let's, let's go get her
done. And, and so I would encourage you to, you know, embrace that. And what does that,
what does that look like? You know, what does that look like for me in my business?
I will. Okay, now, got it.
And so I would actually look at what I what I get for you is whatever that thing that you're
really scared of, is probably the thing that holds your breakthrough. So for me,
I remember when I was a junior project manager, and I worked for county government.
And my boss who I really respected is, I mean, she was
favorite boss I ever had
and
She's like hey on Wednesday. I want you to come in and do a presentation for the department and
And not even the department for our section. There's like six people, you know, and I've been there for years
And I'm like what?
Like I don't want to present like I was I was absolutely mortified. I was terrified and
And and so I don't sleep the next three days. I get a I get books
I get the idiots guide to speaking I get the dummies guide to public speaking or whatever
I got two different books
And so I'm reading these books and everything and I remember the morning that Wednesday morning. I have my hand on the phone
to just call in sick
But I know but I know how she goes right? I know how she you know how she does stuff
She's just gonna have me do it whenever I come in. And so I'm like, that's just a delay like
Man, I really don't want to do this. And so I was just so terrified and I didn't know it at the time
But I was terrified of being found out that I was stupider than everyone else
That's what I was afraid of
I actually knew because I just knew that everyone else in the department was way smarter than me. I was a hard worker
I would outwork them, but they were way smarter. I
Just I was an idiot and and that's how I felt. And so I go in right? I don't call in
I decided to go and I
Do this presentation I develop a stutter. I spill water on my shirt like it's you know, it's a mess, but I'm done
Yay, and and that's when she my boss that I really respected. She pulls me into her office and she goes ray
Are you on drugs?
I'm like
Yeah
And I remember sitting in the parking lot in my green Hyundai Sonata and I'm like, I'm just not gonna come back
I'm just gonna drive off and this will be a six-year gap in my resume. And yeah, I'll just find another job
you know, I just
Whatever and so I'm sitting there and I'm making this decision. I'm like, okay. All right
I guess I could go back into sales or something and I'm doing this thing and there's just something in me
that was just like no, I
got to get better at this and
so instead I drove to the local college and
which I had
zero hours of college at that point and I said put me in any class where I have to speak in front of the class and
The lady said well, that's usually the last class people take but okay
and so she put me on speech and strategic thinking and
And then I also enrolled in Toastmasters and I just I just had this irrational
I'm going to get better at this thing and it was probably
Maybe a year and a half later
Yeah year and a half maybe two years later I was speaking on the Vegas Strip at Planet Hollywood I
Had left that job I had a you know, 22 days a month on the road job speaking and
and so
And I also I remember
Jess and I when we were learning ballroom dancing and I was terrible
we go to a dance competition just to watch and I remember having the thought of
Oh my god, it would terrify me
to compete in this thing and that's when I knew I had to do it and it was
Maybe three or four months later. We competed and I can't you know
we came in first place in two different dances in an international competition in Miami and and so
Some of us because one of my things I'm bold loving authentic
That's that's my three and so, you know us that are bold
Usually fear is kind of a reverse trigger like we we feel that fear and
there's a piece of a that doesn't want the fear to win and
And so I would just I would look at because I think that whatever like like look at speaking
I mean, I've made tens of millions of dollars speaking
but that was one of my biggest fears I
I
Could have shrunk I could have either not showed up or I could have quit that job
But I didn't I just wanted to get better and get better and get better
And and so I think I think there may be something in your life
You're either scared to share or scared to do maybe it's videos. Maybe it's speaking. I don't know
But whatever that that I would identify. What is the biggest thing? I'm really afraid of
That's what I would
actually go after, because even if that's not
your biggest breakthrough, the fact that you face it
will grow you so much.
It'll grow you tremendously.
Does that make sense?
Oh yeah, absolutely.
It'll up-level every area of your life,
you deciding, I am really afraid of heights.
Okay, I'm going skydiving.
You know, I'm really afraid of being vulnerable.
I'm going to share my story.
Whatever that thing is, I would go after that thing,
because it'll unlock so much for you,
and you'll shorten so much time.
I mean, you'll shorten 10 years.
Yeah, that was, your story really resonate with me so much
because, I mean, there are a lot of things I'm afraid of,
and I just don't do them, because,
and then I realized I'm in the same constant loop,
and I'm not going anywhere.
I am not growing anywhere, even in my life.
So I know I need to face my fear.
So I'm curious, what is your prayer for that,
that I can pray?
Yeah, so, I'll give you a couple.
I'll give you a couple questions,
and these are questions that I asked.
I'll give you two different versions,
and then I'll give you a prayer.
So, one is, I'll give you two questions to ask.
And so, at different periods of my life,
I did this first question.
I did it for, I think, seven months.
I think seven months straight, I asked myself this question
and did whatever came up.
And then the second question,
I think I also did for like six or seven months.
So they're very similar.
I'm not saying you need to ask both,
but whichever one resonates the most with you.
So the first question was,
what can I do today that would make me proud of myself?
What can I do today that would make me proud of myself?
And so that question is almost always
gonna be something you're afraid to do.
So, you know, like some days it might've been,
I mean, because back then I was,
I struggled with weight and stuff.
And so back then it might've been not eating anything bad.
You know, some days it was reach out and forgive somebody,
you know, in a particular person in mind.
Like if someone was, I was bothered by or something.
And so what can I do today that would make me proud of myself?
The second question, and I'm asking me this question.
The second question, I'm not asking me, I'm asking God.
And that is,
what can I do today?
Did I use this word?
What can I do today?
Yeah, what can I do today to prove my faith?
What can I do today to prove my faith?
And that one, I didn't get an answer every day on that.
But on the days that I did, they were big things.
That's how I was nudged to bring my mom to Christ,
my dad to Christ, my brother-in-law to Christ,
my 25 year old son to Christ, my ex-wife to Christ.
And so like, that was like, ooh,
like a lot of times the answer he would give me,
I'd be like, uh, uh, like that,
like these are things that scare me.
Forgive my step-mom, you know, who abused me as a kid.
And so like, that was one of them.
And so it's, you know, it's just a great question.
And it's not, you know, back then I may have had it twisted
on how I thought God was operating,
but it's not like, yeah, Ray, prove to me, you know.
No, that was him loving me into growth, like you said it.
Because if we're not doing anything
where that is outside of our comfort zone,
just like lifting weights.
If I just lift the same weights every single day,
I'm not, I don't grow.
you know, I have to tear muscle.
I have to put on weight.
I'm not, I either have to do it a different way.
I have to twist differently.
I have to do something that strains me
to tear muscle and grow.
And same with our life.
You know, we have to do something that like,
we're like, ah, and that's how we grow.
And so, and then as far as prayer,
so, you know, I think an important verse for you
is 2 Corinthians 10, five,
which is we take captive every thought
and we make it obedient to Christ.
Because if we don't take, and this is straight from,
you know, what I'm about to say is straight from Graham Cook.
If we don't take captive every thought,
we are the captives.
So we fall into captivity of the thought.
So if we're not taking captive the thought,
we become captives of the circumstance,
the trial, the challenge, the obstacle, the fear,
the, what we don't want to do,
that we become the captives.
But if we take captive every thought,
make it obedient to Christ,
then we know that with the Lord at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,
right?
You know, he'll never leave us or forsake us.
He doesn't give us a spirit of fear, right?
There's no condemnation in Christ.
Like all of those things weaponize us to renew our minds
around whatever thought we're having that isn't from God,
that isn't, you know, that is limiting.
Does that make sense?
Yes, absolutely.
And I think you're gonna inspire a lot of people.
You're gonna inspire a lot of people.
I mean, yeah.
Yay.
Helpful?
Very helpful.
All right.
Yay.
Awesome.
All right.
So let's go to Laura.
We may break our record here.
I think we have actually.
Yeah, it's late.
Thank you so much, Ray.
This is great.
Sorry, I'm unmuted.
No, I hear you.
So, okay, a quick story.
I've been in Dallas for the past few weeks
doing sporting events, selling merchandise,
not even my business, but working there.
Anyway, yesterday was our tear down.
We hired a fellow from Craigslist.
This was his third week.
This is my win, by the way.
This was his third weekend with us.
And we had loaded seven big containers.
He took them to the, gave him our car keys.
He took them to the car,
but neither myself or my friend,
the owner, went with him.
And we're waiting and he's not back.
And the time is going by.
And we're saying, bye, he's gone for a long time.
Anyway, it was a big convention hall.
So I said, you know what?
I'm going to go find him.
And the car was gone.
The car was gone.
All our goods were gone.
So we were, you know, needless to say,
a little bit freaked out.
And the guy said, oh yeah, the Nissan, he left.
So, which was our car rental.
So my friend's like, oh my God, he stole everything.
He took everything.
I said, no, you know what?
He was a good guy.
I don't think he stole it.
Something happened.
And we kept calling him and his phone was dead.
Anyhow, long story short, he comes back.
The guards, the silly guards,
they'll know you have a ticket and you got to go.
And he's like, no, but it's not my car.
And I have, sorry, you got to go and then come back in.
Well, it wasn't easy to find your way back in
to get into the loading docks and all of that.
So thank God.
But I stayed in faith and knew,
I just felt I got the message that, you know what?
Because we literally could have had a heart attack.
We'd called the police.
And well, it was many thought her merchandise
was tens of thousands of dollars.
And that night we were flying out.
So it delayed us a little bit,
freaking out to find the guys,
but he came in and all was good in that part.
Now I have to, she took the load to the shipping
and nobody helped her.
They were big, heavy things.
She came back and she said everybody was mean
and they wouldn't help.
And I had to take the second load.
So I had these seven big containers
and I had to go by myself and catch a flight
when I was already late.
So I went back to the airport, to the loading,
and said, please, is there someone that I can hire
to help to, you know, cause I would have paid anything.
And they're going, well, what have you got?
Let's go see.
And these were girls and they came and they helped
and they got the stuff out of my car.
And I was thanking God and of course praying all the way.
So I was so grateful.
And then I thought, oh, I'm going to miss my flight.
And then I thought, no, I'm not going to miss my flight.
Somehow, some way.
I checked in my luggage, I went to the return the car and I said to the guy, I have to go,
I have to catch my flight. He said, don't worry, we'll check you out. Go ahead. And now there's no
bus. Now I have like 40 minutes, 25 minutes, something like that to get to my flight.
So sure enough, the bus shows up, I get on the bus, get to the flight. Long story short,
the flight is delayed 15 minutes, which I got to the flight. I'm so grateful to be home.
I even wrote in my gratitude journal last night, how grateful and all the schedule of events that
I chose, not the heart attack way, knew that the fellow would come back that somewhere something
happened and he would return. And sure enough, anyway, it all worked out. So that was long
story. So late. So I'll just be fast. When my first conversation with you, you gave me that
you, I thought that won't work. So I said, Oh no, that wasn't me. But then I realized, yep,
I guess it is me. And so I wanted to know how can I overcome that won't work? I find this
overwhelming. I'm of course, older than most of the people on the call, but I'm open to learn and
I'm ready to go get them. But I haven't gotten them. And I'm the same as you bold, loving and
authentic. Nice. Nice. Thank you. I don't run into a lot of us.
So, so was that an agreement? I think so. Yes, that you gave. So it was my first. Yeah. So,
so an agreement is something we, we prayed off. Oh, you don't actually have that.
Don, my moose, my, and that, yeah. So an agreement, you can, you can pray off,
right? An act is something that stays with us that we have to overcome, but an agreement is
something we can, we can pray off. So when I, when I prayed, Hey, does she have this? I get, no,
did we pray that off? Yes. And so I got that. We, we got rid of that already. And, and, and look at
how, look at how it demonstrated, like you just, you just demonstrated it multiple times in your
story of how you held fast that it would work. And it did. And it did. Thank God. Yay. Yay. Yay.
So, okay. Then what you talked about today and your morning grace with us and was so good. Change
your thoughts, change, change your thoughts, change your mind, change your life. And that's
so powerful for me. I've learned that over the years. I like that a lot. So now, okay. Just a
quick question. I'm doing my first chamber of commerce show on Wednesday night, and I'm, I'm
shy how to approach how my, my conversation, how do I draw them into my booth? I do have a giveaway
different from my product, but to, to draw them in, to get their names, their cards.
And so what do I talk to them? If I'm not talking to them about my product,
how do I, or am I, I mean, I'm at a consumer show what I'm so confused. Okay. So is,
so this is like an expo trade show. Yeah. There'll be a, you know, 80 other exhibitors.
Okay. All right. And how long is this an all day event? No, two, like three hours,
like after work chamber of commerce, five to eight. Okay. One second.
Okay. Okay. So I wrote this in 20, in 2007, actually, this isn't the original.
I think I wrote it before then. This is so funny.
So I wrote this it's how you can run an awesome trade show or expo booth.
And I'll just drop the link. I'll tell you the gist, but you will dominate if you, if you do what,
what I suggest in here. Okay. So I just posted in the comments, that article, I would just click
that and, and, and read it later. But so in a two hour,
scenario, so it's two hours you said?
Three hours, five to eight.
Three hours. Okay.
Okay. Five hundred people.
Yeah. So I would do three timed giveaways.
Okay.
So I would do a giveaway at probably
like 545, 645, 745.
Okay.
So timed giveaway means
that's the exact time I would do the giveaway.
So have a basket.
Most people at an expo or trade show,
unless you're like lemonade or sandwiches or something,
they're not going to buy.
They're going to take your information.
It's going to go in a bag of bologna,
of 50,000 other things,
and it's going to get thrown away,
and you've completely wasted your money.
So the best thing to do is you do a timed giveaway.
So what's your product?
LifeWave.
Okay.
Patches.
My giveaway is AirPods,
and I can do three of them.
Oh, shoot. That'll work.
I mean, if it's a nice giveaway like that, that'll work.
So what you would do,
because the whole game is really follow-up.
That's the whole game.
Okay.
So at 545,
or I'd be announcing it,
I would have a big sign.
We're going to give away AirPod giveaway.
545, 645, 745.
Now, I will warn you,
the other vendors are going to hate your guts.
I'm just letting you know.
It's okay. I brought you.
They're not going to like it. They're going to complain.
So 545, 645 AirPods giveaway.
So you're going to have a big poster,
and you're going to have a basket,
and have a notepad there
where people can, you know,
I mean, people that come to a chamber,
they have business cards usually.
So, you know, they can either drop their business card in,
or they can fill out a form,
but they must be present to win.
So let's, so, okay, five minutes.
We're doing the AirPod giveaway.
And so right at 545, you say, okay,
you got to have, everyone have their information in?
Everyone have, so you're going to get
every single attendee's information that comes in there.
I guarantee you, no one will escape.
You'll get all their information.
You'll get all 500.
And so you're, you got it over there.
You, are you in?
Cause I'm about to draw five minutes.
After you collect all the things,
you then give your five minute pitch.
Okay.
On what LifeWave is, why they should have it,
how it's amazing.
Some people may move on that.
A lot of people are just going to be there for the AirPods,
but some people may move on that.
That's okay.
But this is just an initial pitch.
Then you draw, right?
Give it away.
And you do that move three times,
and then you follow up with everyone.
Awesome.
That's what you do.
That's how you maximize your sales.
Following up the next day by text, by call.
Yeah, I would follow up the next day, you know,
probably, I would, I would only,
I would make note of anyone that comes up
and asks me questions.
That's a hot lead.
So I would be like, yeah, you know, I'll tell you what,
you know, let me, you know, that's a hot lead,
but everyone else, you know, I'm going to, you know,
text, maybe even email, you know, probably text an email,
but you'll, you'll get everyone's contact information.
In my text, send a, you know, hey, if you get a, you know,
check this video, let me know if you have it.
I wouldn't send a video because I never send
an unsolicited video.
Okay.
So I'm going to ask, hey, I met, you know,
I'm the lady that was giving away all the AirPods.
You know, I talked about our company.
I don't know if you got a chance to take a look at it.
Would you like to learn more?
It's given me energy.
It's helped me lose weight or whatever,
whatever you want to share.
And so you're going to lead with benefit, no links,
and ask them if they would like more information.
Perfect. Awesome.
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
That's great.
Yeah. And then report back in.
We want to hear it.
Yes, for sure.
And oh, one last question.
Are you, are you.
doing a meetup anywhere this month, or like any of your I'm
in Fort Lauderdale, I'd love to come. Oh,
you know, so I haven't brought this up literally at all. But I
I thought God was given me a monthly assignment to do the
business abundance with God local meeting. Right. And, and I
do it the one. And so I, you know, I'm like, I do I do the
one night and it goes well, I mean, we had people come from
three hours away, four hours away. And I'm like, All right,
Lord, am I am I doing it this location next month? No. Okay.
All right. And so, you know, as the day gets close, I'm like,
Lord, where am I? Where am I doing this? And and I just got
there. There were a few people in that initial meeting, he
wanted, he wanted to be there. But it's not a monthly
assignment for me. And so I don't have a plan to do
anything here soon. But, but I'll definitely let you know,
let you guys know, if I do. I think it's more of a periodic
thing he wants me to do. You know, I don't know. And so
yeah, ready to come visit. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate that. I
appreciate that. Thank you all. Thank you, everybody. It was
great tonight. Yay. Awesome. All right. So we'll we got Jeff and
then Dr. Cynthia and then we are. We're out. All right, Jeff,
what's happening, man?
So, the, the positive thing is, I applied or I signed up for an
AI training class. It wasn't too expensive, because I'm still
unemployed. It wasn't like the 500 $5,000 one, but it still
costs a little bit of money. So I'm going through that. That's
my positive. I was supposed to hear from three different
companies today. And none of them got back to me. So
hopefully, two of them tomorrow. So I'm just, I'm still just
waiting. But at least with the with the AI training class, I
can start. Hopefully, I'd like to make this my prime job in the
future and not have to worry about, you know, coming into
work one day and then being walked out an hour later,
because somebody didn't like me, or I wasn't performing. Good
enough. And that's been kind of my what's been happening to me a
lot. Over the 20 years I've been a programmer. Yeah. So I just
want to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Yeah. And
if you and you pray about any of this, you're praying on and not
not for a result, but for like wisdom, like, Lord, what is your
plan for me here? Have you? Have you prayed any of that kind of
stuff? And
yeah, am I going in the right direction? Is this you're not?
Am I doing what you want me to do?
And so you've prayed that? And what? Yes. And what do you get?
I'm, well, I'm not getting anything. I just don't. I mean,
I, I sit there for five minutes, just kind of going through my
head and I don't get any revelations.
So I think I think one is, which is a lot of people, I think one
is getting used to his voice. And and so that's why I like, I
like the question of Lord, how do you see me? Because he
doesn't see you. There is no negative word he'll ever use to
describe you. And, you know, he's, you know, he sees the
Jesus Christ in you, all of heaven's favor is attributed to
you, because of not what you are, but because of Christ in
you. And, and so I would, you know, I would ask that question
because it's a, it's, it's an interesting question, because
most of us would not answer that very well. Like if they say, you
know, what, how do you see yourself? Well, I could do
better here. And I probably have a temper problem. And I'm very
good that right. So we'll, we'll, we tend to, you know,
we'll, we tend to default to what's wrong with us, what's
missing, what's lacking. That's not how God describes us. So
when we ask that question,
and Lord, how do you see us?
We get thoughts, which we think are our thoughts,
but they're thoughts you wouldn't think.
And so it lets you peer into,
oh, this is somehow, sometimes this is how he answers.
And so then it opens possibility
that maybe those other answers I got
weren't just my thoughts.
Because you hear it in your,
I hear him and I've never not one time
heard him in some booming voice
or some James Earl Jones or Charlton Heston
or Samuel Jackson or whatever, right?
I hear him in my inner voice,
but it's words I wouldn't use.
Like I never would have come up with the thought of,
I had to keep breaking you so you would keep searching
and find the need to love yourself,
but that's what I heard last year.
And so I think getting used to his voice
so that we're not just sitting there thinking,
oh, that's just my thoughts.
Maybe it is, but maybe it's not.
And I also think several times in the Bible,
people ask for a sign too.
And it's different than when they asked Jesus
for a public sign, right?
That's different.
But when the guy was going for Isaac's wife,
I literally just listened to this again.
And he's like, Lord, let his wife come and offer me water
and offer all of my camels water.
And lo and behold, there she comes.
Gideon says, hey, if I'm really supposed to go fight
these 300,000 dudes and I'm a ragtag group of guys,
I want you to make the fleece wet and the grass dry.
Well, does it?
Make the fleece wet or make the grass wet
and the fleece dry.
Does that too.
And so I think if you're not confident
that you're hearing from him, ask for a sign.
Lord, if I'm going in the right direction,
have someone say this word to me.
Come up with a word, come up with a secret word.
Don't tell anyone.
You know, it's like my water buffalo.
So, and you know, that was my interesting experience
with the Lord.
Lord, if you're real, I wanna hear the word water buffalo.
And that's when in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the church,
they had a visiting pastor from India
tell the story of a stubborn water buffalo.
You know, and so like, I would, if you're not confident
that you're hearing from him, ask for a sign.
You know, when I did this,
when I was in Costa Mesa, California,
you know, this girl came up to me and she goes,
well, how do I know God's real?
And my first reaction was to talk logically,
well, you know, and then just, God just prompted me,
tell her, ask for a sign.
I'm like, ask for a sign.
And she came back the next morning and she goes,
well, this was kind of weird, but I was in this Uber.
And when I went to get out,
the Uber driver turned around and said,
I'm supposed to give you this.
And he handed me a prayer book.
I'm like, yeah, that is interesting.
But I could tell she wasn't convinced.
I said, ask for another sign.
And so the next day I happened to be doing the sermon.
She accepts Christ, comes up on stage.
And she shows me, she goes, can I show you something?
And she shows me a crumpled up $5 bill.
And she said, that morning she prayed, God, if you're real,
I want to find something more than five bucks on the ground.
And so it was a crumpled up $5 bill.
And when you unfolded it, there was a 20 inside.
How cool is that?
Yes.
Asked for larger denominations apparently, but whatever.
And so, you know, like I, you know,
when you're not confident you're hearing from them,
just ask for a sign.
All right.
It's not, you know, cause we're told when you lack wisdom,
ask will be given to you liberally and without reproach.
So we either believe the Bible or we don't.
And I just believe when we lack wisdom,
we're not sure, is this the right avenue?
Is this the right direction?
He wants, I believe he wants to tell us.
And so we have to believe that we can hear from him.
And it's not that he's so far away
or that his arm can't reach us.
That's Isaiah 59, one and two.
You know, he can reach us and we gotta believe that.
Keep us in the loop, all right?
All right.
Sounds great.
All right.
Last but not least.
And look at this, 1-11.
I remember being on with the Australian at 11-11.
Here we are.
All right.
Dr. Cynthia, what's happening?
Bring us home.
Look at that beautiful background.
That's amazing.
I'm really sorry to keep everybody up so late, and I will not be offended if everybody
– because I can't even think straight right now, so I'm going to do my best.
But my win is I've really had trouble with what you have said my branding should be.
Like, it just does not feel natural to me, but I've still moved on it, and I had two
speaking engagements last week, and I spoke on that topic, yeah.
So –
Cool.
Yeah, and it was pretty well-received, and I'm not a speaker, but anyway.
So I'm moving forward with that and becoming a little more comfortable with it.
And I also did a kind of a change of – well, on my Facebook page, I put out there that
that's what I was going to be doing.
So I've stepped forward in faith, and it's totally by faith because I still don't even
know what I'm doing with all that, but anyway, I thought it was pretty cool.
Go ahead.
Let me just help you with two quick things.
And I know it's late, right?
So one, you are a speaker because you spoke.
You're a speaker.
You spoke.
You're a speaker.
You had speaking engagements.
You spoke.
So it's not that you're not a speaker.
You are a speaker.
Congratulations on being a speaker.
And number two, it's when we just – I believe that – well, Proverbs 18.21 says death and
life is in the power of the tongue, right?
So we're either – we're speaking creation or we're speaking destruction.
And so, and said in another way, I think that we're either equipping our angels to move
forward and help us or we're disabling them and we're inviting the enemy to invade us.
And so I want to be very careful with my language because I don't – I get – I don't want
to invite the enemy in at all, ever.
And so it's, you know, to say, Father, thank you for guiding me and sharing with me what
to do.
And I would just be careful of the more that we describe something, the more it becomes
truer and truer and truer.
And so if we're saying, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm very confused, you know, like,
you know, we're solidifying that status.
And – of a status we don't want.
And so it's not that you're just like, I know exactly what I'm doing here and I know, you
know, we don't have to do that.
But we also don't have to handicap ourselves.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I had so many, so many questions, Ben, and I wish that – what – the last person
that went, you sort of spoke to one of mine, like, I'm just really having some negativity
around hearing God because there – like, I've always asked God, and there was a time
when I really needed to hear from God, and it went so sideways.
Like, I thought I had signs, I had confirmations, blah, blah, blah.
And it – what actually happened was completely, like, not even close to what I was – I thought
I was hearing.
So I know that I do not have confidence that I know how to hear from God.
And I've been on the app and, you know, give these little suggestions of what to think
about and to hear from God about, and I'm just like, nothing.
I mean, I listen, and I just sit there on it, and I'm not –
trying to be negative but i don't even begin to know how to hear from god and i feel like i really
need to because i'm not you know i i don't have a lot of years left to do what it is god's called
me to do and apparently at my age i just figured out what god is calling me to do and i'm still
confused not like i know i understand my branding but i'm confused as far as i don't have an income
really and i'm depending on my father and so i don't know where to get the income and i have
thought about i was i wasn't going to do the brilliant app for for certain reasons and then
i attended one of the meetings i was like yeah okay i think i can i can do that and i sort of
liked it with the direction i was going with the women in trauma and um you know i mean obviously
there's some spiritual things that these women are going to be working through i know that was
true for me and i didn't have the brilliant app and boy i you know if i had i i think i would be
40 years ahead of what i am you know so but um i'm having trouble with it like i am not getting
anybody that is going ahead with the um with actually joining it and also i've actually had
like people say they were already now i put it out as far as personal invitation to the people
that i know um really love god and um do you want to hear him speak and all that and they sign up
for everything that's way more expensive they're in all these multi-level companies and they were
like oh we're so close to god already i'm really happy with my spiritual walk and i'm just like
like i was totally blindsided i didn't necessarily expect that they would um sign up or whatever
but they didn't even want to look at it because they already felt like they had made it so
i'm just not like that so then coming back to am i hearing from god like are all those things
mean that i'm not supposed to change what i'm doing
it you know i saw i'm just totally i don't know where to go from here yeah all right um
um yeah no the way that the bet i i truly 100 believe that the best way those who want to market
the app and and whatever it's going to be through demonstration it's going to be through you know
like his content has changed my life like he he's helped me so much i've had so many people
that you know before before i there was an app bought or actually before i knew of the app because
the app's been around for nine years but um you know that bought his book because they just they're
like hey i see you're changing like what helped you like that book and they're like i want that
book and so they you know they buy his book a crafted prayer um and so i i believe the people
that will do the best with that app are those that you know dig into the content what you're doing
share their takeaways share their breakthroughs and by demonstration people are like man you're
different something's different what's what's going on well actually this content is really
um but let me pray about you
and rebecca you uh are you still with us are you getting anything
i'm not i'm i'm gonna be praying about this too
i mean the the thing and this is you know one of the
more interesting things to teach but it's what we actually started with um with you at least and that
is um
there is, I believe God can override our words, right?
So I believe like, if we're like,
I can't hear from God ever,
and he just wants us to hear from him,
he's gonna well being us, right?
Like he'll lightning bolt us to shake us
the hell out of that thinking, right?
But I do think our words matter and our words do affect.
And so let's just try something on, right?
Let's just try it on like a new blazer, a new coat.
Let's just try on that we follow the biblical principle
of Mark 11, 24, Philippians four, Psalm 100-4,
and that is we enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise.
Mark 11, 24, when you pray praise,
if you've already received Philippians four, six,
don't be anxious for anything, but in everything
by prayer and petition with thanksgiving,
present your request to God.
So what if we start saying, father or God,
whatever you're comfortable with,
God, I am so grateful that I'm hearing from you clearly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I praise you, thank you.
What if we just start saying that,
like for the next 48 hours,
we say it as many times as we can,
and we fight out the temptation to say what we used to say.
And we just try it out.
We just live in possibility.
God, thank you for speaking to me.
God, thank you for helping me hear your voice so clearly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You're worthy of my praise.
I praise you, thank you, Lord.
What if we just, just for the next 48 hours
and just see what happens.
And, you know, cause that is the biblical way to pray.
When you pray, pray as if you've already received.
And so it wouldn't be, I'm never hearing from you.
It'd be, thank you for speaking to me
and thank you for making it so clear.
That would be the biblical blueprint.
And so let's just try that out and see what happens.
Okay, that's perfect.
And I have heard you speak on that before,
but I just didn't relate it to this situation.
So I appreciate that.
And I don't think, I wasn't able to get on last time,
but I probably should also share that
within 10 days of you giving me my branding,
I started running into people who were actually
like even reaching out to me about traumas.
So I did take that as confirmation and I,
okay, God's telling me something here.
Cause it was weird because I have never had anybody
reach out to me or talk to me about that before.
So that was kind of cool.
Yeah, and the other thing I wanted to ask about
just real quick is when I did my Facebook group
and I'm still working on it, but when I switched it over,
why would I like, I keep hearing,
instead of I help women over,
cause I wanted to kind of maybe get specific
about the trauma that I want to work with women
who are older, who have never dealt with it.
Cause that's sort of where I'm at,
but God keeps giving me or something.
I, it just keeps coming out of my mouth
that I work with women over 51.
Like why not 50?
Is, could there be something behind there?
Am I overthinking?
But every time I go to talk about it or write about it,
that's the age that comes into my brain and 50 is so easy.
So I just, I thought that was interesting.
No idea what it means, but.
I mean, the first thing that popped up for me
is Isaiah 51.
Not that I know that off the top of my head, but.
Yeah, I mean, that's the first thing that
Okay.
Popped up for me, but I, yeah,
I would have to read it and it's.
I'll look it up, but.
Yeah, look it up.
See if there's anything that pops out to you.
You know, I didn't,
I didn't get that specific when I got your brand,
but if you keep getting it,
I think there's something to it.
I mean, I think it'd be intriguing.
I work, I work with women over 51, like, it kind of begs the question, why, why 51?
I like that.
Exactly.
And it's what always comes into my brain.
So I just thought, well, I'm going to ask, I'm going to ask Ray about it, because I mean,
it might be nothing.
It might be just crazy.
It might just be because I don't think Ray anyway, but
He works in mysterious ways.
I don't know.
He does.
Thank you.
And thank you guys for being patient.
Yeah, of course.
Of course, awesome.
Well, let me pray for everyone.
So, you know, thank you for being on here.
And, Father, we're just so grateful for you.
