Okay. Welcome, everybody. We're doing a quick turnaround here after BSOL. Thanks for joining
us. All righty. So this, if you were interested in the CEO inner circle discovery call, that's
what this is. And oh, my goodness, my computer decided that one of my screens suddenly turned.
All right. We're back. We're back. Isn't technology wonderful? All right. Give me one second.
I just have to get a little more organized, and then I'm ready to enjoy the whole thing.
Very good. Okay. So we're going to go through and talk about the program we run here at
Brilliant called Brilliant Inner Circle. And it really is designed for CEOs and so forth.
So just to help me understand who's in the room, just give me, if you are a, maybe you're
small enough, I can just look at your, we can just do this by a visual show of hands.
I think there's enough people for me to see you all. I see there's still a few people
joining. Okay. How many of you, just by the show of hands, if you don't have your camera
on, you can put it on. I'd appreciate it. I know you can't always do that, but if you
can, I really would appreciate it. Fantastic. Just by a show of you, how many of you run
your own business? Just wave at me. Okay. Anybody who has five or more employees? Yeah.
15 members. Okay. And 10 or more. Yep. Anyone with 10 or more employees? Okay. Dawn. Yep.
Yep. I know your situation, Dawn. So that's good. Okay. Excellent. Okay. All right. So
what I want to do is share with you a program we started four years ago here at Brilliant.
And it's really designed to help create and train kingdom executives. And I'm going to
walk you through. I see a couple of people still joining. So what the purpose of this
call is, is to walk you through what that program is. And then at the end of this process,
to give opportunity for those who want to join us, to join us, to do that, and join
the program. It runs for one year. So it's a one year program. We meet every month for
two hours, and there's a full training program for your team. That's why I was asking you
if you have team. Now, it doesn't matter if your team are full-time or part-time employees
or consultants, all of that, that works. So we will have also, we'll have a team directly
here to help you straight after this call. So they will be on the help desks here and
help you go through that process. Okay. I think we're ready to get going. I think we've
got most of the people on who signed up. That's fantastic. Okay. What I'm going to
do is jump into our, into our presentation here. As we go, as we go through this, I wanted
to say that Brilliant Business is, is a part of what we do at Brilliant. And for those
of you who don't know, Brilliant consists of three main things. It consists of a movement,
and the people who are members of the movement join the movement, and they get access to
Brilliant Plus app. They get access to the monthly gatherings, to the small groups, and
they get all the events free. So including the event that's coming up this week. So that's
what members are, members of the movement. Secondly, we have the school, and many of
you are BSOL members. So you know what that is, the School of Leadership, and then the
business side of what we do. And that comes, and I will explain in a second what that includes.
Okay. If we're ready to go, are we all good to go, Jenny? Excellent. So let's get into
it. So the first thing is to help executives make the shift into their kingdom advantage.
Having studied business my entire life, I've done 27 startups, and I have been involved
and done a PhD in leadership and management. I have an MBA degree in theology and a degree
in computer and software engineering. So with all that to say, what is the advantage of
all that studying? Not nearly as much as your kingdom advantage. And we see so few executives
step into their kingdom advantage. Mostly what's taught as your advantage is what I
would just call Christians in business. Not necessarily people who are taking on the yoke.
Take my yoke and learn from me. Jesus is super.
super excited to be partnered with you in business.
And what does that even mean?
So we're gonna get into what that means.
So your advantage consists of an upstairs advantage,
which is this yoke with the Lord from Matthew 11.
And downstairs, it's creating a powerful team.
No one person can take on the world,
even with help of AI, right?
There's a limitation to what you can do.
So I wanna talk about these two advantage elements
and how we build that here at The Inner Circle.
So let's start with the downstairs advantage.
So the most powerful thing you can do for your business
is create a team of leaders.
So it's not just a team with a leader,
it's a team of leaders.
That means every member in your team
is acting like an owner.
That's huge, right?
So if everybody in your team is acting as an owner,
then what happens is the team accelerates
because now you're teaching people
to lead their contribution.
So I have learned this starting and leading 27 companies.
Well, 27 includes two churches
and two nonprofits that I was included in that.
So why create a team of leaders, you might ask?
Because it's your kingdom advantage.
Firstly, everybody starts,
you develop people to act like owners.
This is one of the hardest things to actually do in business
because a lot of people like the idea of this,
but they don't know how to actually do this.
You can unleash innovation
at the fastest pace in your organization.
Most people think of innovation as product innovation,
but what about innovation for every aspect of the business,
from accounting to customer service?
What if there was innovation everywhere in the business?
So this comes from making people first, not processes first.
A lot of people say, oh, yes, a system, yes, the process.
The problem with that is you can't pivot quickly, right?
If I give you a process and tell you, yes, my system,
and you must plug in and fill in the gaps
and do all these processes,
and I have these kind of meetings at this time and so on,
then the minute that changes,
because the team didn't create that process,
they cannot pivot.
Whereas what we do is we teach the people
to build a process they can change at any time.
We also create a trust culture that's unstoppable.
Once the team trusts each other,
then the whole business goes up to a new level
because you must make people feel
that what they do matters.
Now, when we're talking about leading a team,
I'm assuming that you're the only believer in the team
and everybody else there is maybe not believers, right?
Anybody have that situation in your company here?
All right, well, that's good because this is designed
that all the goodness
that we're gonna bring to our team members
doesn't matter whether they know the Lord or not.
So there's a part of this program, the team training part,
that's all in covert mode,
meaning there's no references to the Lord
or anything Christian specifically,
but all the kingdom goodness is baked in for their benefit.
So whether they know that's what it is or not
doesn't make any difference.
And what this does for you is it frees you up
in your business so that the business can thrive
without you.
One of the key tests that a business is growing up
is can I pull the founder out, right?
So when Graham Cook started this group,
if you pulled Graham out, would the team continue?
And the answer is yes, it would.
We'd all be heartbroken, but it would continue.
All right, so, and then you get to live life
on your own terms.
It's amazing how many people say I run a business,
but really the business runs them.
You know, they don't really run a business.
They're just an employee of one
and they're their own worst boss.
So I've seen this so many times, especially entrepreneurs.
You know, if you're a single person company,
this is usually the case.
You didn't start a business,
you just employed yourself in a job.
And it can grow from there, which is great,
but you have to start make,
think about how do you take advantage of,
how do you take advantage of the kingdom,
your kingdom advantage, sorry.
So here's some unexpected effects that I found.
When you do these things,
you end up with very high energy in the team.
Secondly, productivity goes way up in your organization.
I've watched so many programs, productivity programs,
trying to teach people productivity by itself,
and it has very little effect and without real,
you know, a lot of force and a lot of effort
and a lot of controls.
But what if you can so invest people
that the productivity goes up naturally?
There is such a way.
And then high loyalty.
When people feel they belong,
when people feel that what they do matters
and that they're seen and their contribution is appreciated,
man, they're not going to work anywhere else.
Why would they leave your culture of trust
and go to some toxic environment even if they pay double?
I've literally recruited executives
at two or three levels above where our company's at.
because they wanted the culture.
They wanted this environment.
And so obviously, increased revenue will happen.
That happens by itself when the team is properly trained.
And happier customers, for sure.
And what we call shiny eyes.
So at Brilliant, we refer to the triple bottom line.
We measure our success at Brilliant
by the triple bottom line.
Number one, how many people did we impact?
How much money did we make?
And how alive is the team doing it?
It doesn't matter if we're making money,
impacting people, and our team's all burnt out.
Any of you sound like ministry to you?
Having run two churches?
I know.
You know, we're very good at that.
So the idea of shiny eyes, that people are alive.
How alive is the team you're leading?
So how do you actually do this, then, you might ask?
Well, you have to teach leadership
at every level of your organization.
Every single person.
There is nobody that doesn't get taught.
Everybody's involved.
And so what is leadership, then?
Leadership we define as intentionally
managing your influence.
If we're talking to kingdom people,
we add in partnership with the Lord.
So intentionally managing your influence
is the foundation of all leaders.
How many of you have sat in a meeting
and some person who has incredible influence on the team,
but doesn't actually hold a rank in the business, right?
They don't hold a title, but man, when they speak,
they pull the whole team.
There's somebody intentionally managing their influence.
Somebody's the center of influence
who doesn't even actually have a title.
You've seen people like that.
And that's what leadership is.
It's intentionally managing your influence
regardless of your title.
So in this concept, everybody is a leader, right?
So they lead their contribution.
They lead their team.
They lead customers, maybe vendors.
So a lot of people say,
well, I don't have anyone reporting to me.
Yeah, that's not what makes you a leader.
It's you lead your contribution.
You lead what you bring to the team
and you intentionally manage your influence
with that team, with customers, with vendors.
So in this sense, everybody's a leader.
So the most powerful and permanent way to upgrade your team
is to upgrade the team you already have.
A lot of people are looking,
well, if I had this employee or that employee,
maybe if I could hire that fantastic person,
if I had somebody with a lot of experience.
In 27 companies, I can tell you unequivocally
that sometimes the people you expect least
will surprise you the most if you will invest in them,
if you'll raise them up.
And when I came to Brilliant six years ago,
we were just a bunch of ordinary people.
And I came out of a private equity background.
At the time, I was running a private equity company
and you all know my story.
When I came to Brilliant,
I had people who were not just like,
unlike church volunteers really,
just kind people, love the Lord,
wanna be helpful in the kingdom
and didn't know what they knew
and didn't know who they were
and whatever it is in terms of business.
I had no Harvard MBA, which I'd hired previously.
I had no Goldman Sachs investment bankers,
which I'd worked with previously.
I had none of these highly trained, highly skilled mass.
I just had a bunch of ordinary believers saying,
let's go do this.
And that's the thing, that team grew dramatically.
And I'll share with you some of the results in a second.
So the question is, who has the time to do this?
Many of you might be thinking,
oh my goodness, I'm just trying to pay the bills.
I'm just trying to make ends meet.
I don't have time to do all this.
And so there are 57,000 books on leadership
and more every day.
Go and look on Amazon, you'll see what I'm talking about.
There's 4 billion links on leadership on Google.
You say, oh, that's okay, I'll just use AI.
What will AI do?
AI doesn't know your context.
It doesn't know the people in your team.
It doesn't know the relationships.
It doesn't know any of that.
Because we know one thing AI will never do.
We use AI, by the way.
We've been using AI for four and a half years,
long before ChatGPT was around.
We've been doing AI for quite a while.
We embrace technology for sure, but we get it to serve us.
Because what AI will never do
is relational engagement and direct learning.
AI has no yoke with Jesus.
AI cannot represent your relationship.
In fact, our AI tools that write some of our marketing copy
get given strict rules that it may never use the prophetic.
It may never pretend.
You'll never hear from brilliant.
You know, I was waiting on the Lord this morning
and he told us I should offer you this project,
this product, because it'll be your breakthrough.
AI makes up rubbish like that,
representing my relationship with Jesus.
I didn't pray and ask the Lord that.
It just lied and said I did and send it to you.
And I said, click here, it solves all your problems.
So the thing we're saying is AI doesn't know the context.
So here's the thing.
How do you figure out what works in your situation?
In a small team, I got two people, I got five people,
I got 10 people, I got 30 people, whatever.
through your team is, how do I know what works in my situation
specifically? And then how do I build layer on layer in the
correct order to create real change? That's what I need to
know. So and then once the team starts their training, how do I
turn this training into a high performance culture? And if
you're a kingdom team, which we are, and by the way, if you're
the kingdom leader, you're a kingdom team, you make kingdom
whether the participants know the Lord or not doesn't matter.
Because a high performance kingdom culture functions from
rest, there's a calm, there's a lightness and they function from
rest. Okay, so who has the time? Well, that's why I built Leader
Forge. So what I've been doing is over 37 years, I've been
collecting all the things that really move the needle. Because
I've read books, a lot of them, I've studied leadership, I've
studied, so my PhD was studying the best leaders from around the
world. And I put all that in a single system. And that got me
started. And I kept that going. So you find it, there are
extraordinary leaders that just have that little something that
can move a company from a startup to something substantial
in a short period of time. And my question was, can we teach
that to ordinary people? And does this just have to be the
extraordinary leaders? Do you have to be Steve Jobs, or you
know, whoever you want to pick, of the great leaders who moved
business in a in a unique way. So we started to create Leader
Forge. And after, you know, 38 years of leading these teams and
studying the best leaders in the world, I came to the conclusion
that there is a way. And so I created a 48 week training
program to take ordinary people to become an extraordinary team.
So that's, that's half an hour every week. And so there's a
video you watch, and there are worksheets you work through. And
it's not one of those things, we all watch it, forget it and
move on, we pick one big thing, we execute one thing, and you
get up to three weeks to implement that one thing. So
what happens is the whole culture moves forward, it
creates new language, new energy, new focus, and suddenly,
you start to find the acceleration effect. So it's
really is a comprehensive training program using the best
practices in the world, put through a kingdom filter. So
I don't like anything that's manipulative, that holds people
bondage, I want to see I want all the elements of the kingdom
to be there. So it really is a step by step training for
accelerated results. Now, you know, to this, the whole idea is
to help you take the potential that's in your your team and
turn it into actual performance. I mean, many of us we look at
some of our team members, they have so much potential, but I
can't seem to get them moving. I can't seem to get them over
whatever's in their heads. Anybody knows what I'm talking
about, as a leader, you know, you can't seem to like get them
going. This will get them going, this will do exactly that. So
Leaderforge is turning potential into performance, and it
includes weekly training for your team, 48 practices from
around the world, and these 48 worksheets, so you can get
immediate application. So there's real traction, we don't
just watch stuff to watch stuff, we watch it to change and to
grow. And there's an app for easy access. And if this is not
the app that you're familiar with from Brilliant, so it's not
the communities app or Brilliant Plus, this is a separate app
that just deals with this component. Alright, so at
Brilliant, we increased our performance by over 500% in the
first 18 months we implemented this program. Now, I don't know
what it is now, because I should go back and measure it. Because
we use several metrics to measure that. I think it's well
over 1000% since, you know, up again, because this team, we
halved our team and increased our performance by 500%. So that
technically is double that. So the point is, well, people look
well at Brilliant, you know, you guys have Graham, and he walks
around and prophesies every day, and you're just all just living
the glory, no wonder you went by 500%. And, and people are
surprised to find out we don't do that at Brilliant. You know,
we focus on what we're doing, and we love the call God has on
our lives. But we don't do that. So let me give you some
samples. There are 12 modules in Leaderforge. Each module consists
of four trainings. The first one is we talk about a team of
leaders, a new program paradigm. So basically, we say to
everybody, think of a fireman's net, firefighters net,
everybody's got their hand on the net. And there has to be a
certain tension in the net, right? So if you're on sale,
someone's pulling on customer service, someone's, everybody's
pulling and there's proper tension. Tension shows the
company's in balance. A lot of people are trying to get rid of
tension. Well, guess what happens to the firefighters net
if there's no tension? If we're all standing in the middle and
all happy together, and the poor person jumps out of the building
and there's no tension in the net, what will happen?
Cannot support the business.
So we talk about how everybody takes full ownership
of their contribution.
It's four weeks of training there.
Then we talk about clarity and simplicity to drive speed.
A lot of small companies struggle
because they have no simplicity,
no clarity in what they were doing.
So we go through several world-class tools
to produce that over four weeks.
Again, four weeks on building
a high-performance trust culture.
We actively talk about what things destroy trust
in our culture, in our friendship,
what things build trust.
We go through the things of giving people control
over their own work.
This is the key to productivity.
For instance, every time you're switching
from one task to another, switching costs,
make you mentally exhausted at the end of the day.
Well, that's easy to understand,
but unless together, right?
You could have got that from chatGBT,
but unless together, we all agree
we don't interrupt each other,
that we all agree to respect each other's process
so that people can have less switching costs.
If you're exhausted, the end of the day
is because you were switching all day long.
That's just cognitive stress.
We talk about the power of deep work.
We use the idea of a four-hour uninterrupted deep work
per week, per person.
Everybody has to do this four hours a week,
and they work on the business, not in it.
They create something new.
They invent something new.
This will supercharge your innovation very quickly.
We'll talk about three ways to grow your business.
We'll talk about the key to innovation,
how we take thin slices.
We don't try and do these big mega projects
that don't go anywhere.
We take tiny little changes to our process,
and we talk about the best practices of that.
Making less meetings work.
So we create a whole new system of rules for meetings, right?
It's like death by meetings for most of us, right?
The two big problems,
the two things that kill productivity,
meetings and managers.
Managers interrupting people all the time,
and meetings interrupting them even more.
At Brilliant, we even have rules called the five-star rule.
The five-star rule is,
if you're in our meeting for 10 minutes
and you feel you have no contribution,
you may leave and it's not considered rude,
even if I called the meeting.
So I invited you to the meeting and you leave the meeting,
I'll realize you just thought I invited you unnecessarily.
That's not considered rude in our company.
So how many of you would love that in a job, right?
You can just leave after 10 minutes,
it's not rude, exactly.
So we talk a lot about how to make meeting short.
When there are a lot of people in a lot of meetings,
that means nobody knows what the authority is.
Nobody can make a decision.
And so that's easy to fix.
Making work feel effortless.
When you focus people on the one thing
they're really good at doing,
it feels effortless to them.
Guess where we got that idea from?
Yep, that was Jesus.
My burden is light.
We stole his idea or we implemented his idea.
Necessary endings and new beginnings.
There are times that employees come to an end
and you have to release them to the market
and there's new beginnings, new products.
And sometimes we even teach you
how to kill your products before the market does, right?
So you kill them first.
And because sometimes we just don't see it.
We are so emotionally invested
in some of our products and services, we won't end them.
And so we just die a slow death.
And we talk about developing next generation leaders.
And then how do you upgrade your economics?
What are you spending your time on?
So we look at effort versus results.
How much money do we spend on this event?
And how much impact on people's lives?
And then we do a trade-off and say,
where are our most important things?
We change businesses just on that one thing.
So that's leader forged to really help you
make your shift into your kingdom advantage,
your downstairs shift.
So going through that again,
from an upstairs point of view,
we introduced the inner circle.
Because what I found is that most kingdom people
know the Lord, love the Lord,
have no idea how to yoke partnership with the Lord.
So for instance, when God calls you into business,
He already had in mind what business He wanted you to do.
He already built that into the call.
He already has a dream and a vision for that business
He wants to share with you.
And then unfortunately,
because we were trained religiously,
we think, okay, I'll go and do the business for God.
I'll use the money for the kingdom.
This is a very low-grade implementation.
What we really meant for us to just do it with Him.
He wants in on it.
He wants you to be part of His life
and His vision for the business.
And He wants you to develop your relationship.
And so this idea of yoke will accelerate your business
so quickly because what you're doing
is you're aligning with all the favor of heaven
when you do this.
And this takes your business to a whole different place.
So let me talk about the inner circle there.
So the biggest advantage is brilliant inner circle.
So how do you be in yoke with the Lord in your business
so it can feel easy and light?
If you are just brutally honest in this moment.
and I asked you, how many of you feel right now that your business is easy and light?
How many of you can genuinely raise your hand and say, yep, that's me, easy and light guy,
and I'm an easy and light gal, I'm there with the Lord, we're having fun.
And that's what Jesus offered though. So red flag. So if you're stressed,
and you're worried, and you're anxious, and you're concerned about your company's future,
right, then, that's great, Sally. Then, in that situation, Sally just said, that's me.
I hope you were referring to the easy and light part of that. So if you're concerned, worried,
stressed, concerned about your future, Jesus got an offer, come and exchange it for my rest,
because rest activates the yoke. Rest activates that partnership. And then you can learn from
him. Learn everything you need to know about your business, you can learn from Jesus. Why?
He's overcome the world. We don't have to watch YouTube videos to figure out how to overcome the
world. Sure, they may be useful. There's some downstairs stuff. We've given you 48 of those
already prepackaged for you. You don't have to worry about that. Now you have the freedom to
do what Jesus said. So how you build your business with God, not for him. I don't think God ever
answers that question, because in Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge? Just quick business question. If all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge about your
business are in Christ, wouldn't you want to be with him in yoke? I'm just asking, right? It sounds
like the thing to do, for sure. And so it's a monthly two-hour call that we have with other
kingdom leaders. So we get together, usually the first Wednesday, unless it's on a vacation day or
something. The first Wednesday of the month, we meet together for two hours, and we go through
several key elements, which I'll go through now. So the first thing is, we've developed 12
executive trainings. So every month we do one of them. So 12 executive trainings about how do you,
and I'll share some of the topics here in a second, how do you step into that space with the Lord.
There's 12 laser coaching. So we spend time laser coaching on very specific problems in people's
businesses, and how to apply the Leader Forge module. So okay, next month we're doing this module.
Here's what you need to know. This is what makes it work. This is what makes it fail.
And so we give more of an executive overview of how to make those modules work.
And of course, the sheer fun of fellowship and networking with like-minded kingdom leaders.
So here's some of the examples of what we do. In the executive training, we talk about making the
kingdom normal in your business, even if you're the only believer. Finding rest that activates
your yoke partnership. Man, when leaders come to rest, it's like when they stop, God starts. It's
like the craziest thing. It just opens up something brand new. A whole new thing opens up for them.
Learning how permission in your partnership creates freedom. When God gives you permission
to focus on this, then He's also giving you permission not to focus on these other five
things. And so many times I will get up in the morning and say, what are we doing today, Father?
What are we doing this week? And I love that question. Father, what are we doing this week?
What are we doing? I have a plan. I have a plan for the next few months, but I want to know
what permission is today. Discovering your kingdom business space and focus,
and then trusting your team the kingdom way. So sorry, building your team the kingdom way. So
building your team the kingdom way is what the Leader Forge stuff starts to do for you.
Here's a big one. Contracting with God's help and how He works with you in business. There are so
many misconceptions about how this works. So many times believers go passive when they should be
actively engaged, because rest doesn't mean you're passive at all. Rest doesn't mean taking a nap,
and it doesn't mean going passive and just sit back all in, let God do it all. No, no. He wanted
to be a partnership. So preparing for how God wants your business to end. This is a big part.
Why are you building it? Are you going to hand this to your kids? Are you going to sell the
business? Are you just going to stop it one day? What are you doing with this? This sets a whole
set of mechanisms in place on how to build it effectively. Then unlocking your yoke potential.
I said by 10x or more, but the scripture talks about hundredfold. So I don't know, me of little
faith, only 10x. Scripture talks of hundredfold. Scripture talks about much. But how do you unlock
that yoke potential? We talk a lot about how God gives you permission for your future. Many times
as business leaders we project, like in December, our team got together and we said, if I asked you
to 2x your business, if I said to you, you have to 2x your business, if I said that to our team,
they'd all be exhausted just listening to the question.
Because they know it took, let's call it a hundred units of effort to pull off what we did this year.
And now you're asking me to do 200? I don't know how to do that. I'm exhausted now.
But if I told you you have to 10X your business, strangely, your whole innovation and excitement goes up
because you can't do what you did last year. So you don't go back to your past to get permission for your future.
You don't say, we did 100 units last year, we're going to do 200 next year.
No, what you're doing is you're stepping in to that 10X space.
So you're saying, Lord, we have to do something really differently.
It's why the ambassador program was born at Brilliant, because we had to 10X our business.
And we couldn't just double the work. So we talk a lot about how the Lord does that.
Making your leadership prophetic. We just did this last week.
How do you call people out and call them up? How do you take your team to the next level?
Because a lot of Christians won't do the confrontation thing because they think they want to be kind.
Being kind doesn't mean keeping people on beyond the time they should go.
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is release people back into the marketplace
because it's not fun to live in an environment where you're always behind.
And if you've got someone who's always behind and they can just never get up to that level,
we talk a lot about what that means.
By the way, none of this stuff is fluffy, just so that you know.
Believing in your team until they believe.
Sometimes you and the Lord just have to hold the line until the rest of the team believe what you're doing.
Growing your capacity as a leader and developing the mindset of a high-powered kingdom executive.
OK, so that helps you make your upstairs part of your kingdom advantage, the shift.
There's a third thing we do is SOS calls. And if you know what an SOS call is,
this is where we found CEOs need personal help, right?
So it's two SOS calls are included with me. There are 60-minute calls, one-on-one.
It's not in a group. It's just one-on-one you. And we talk about your stuff.
So I asked the team, just quickly give me a few quotes so I could tell you guys about this.
So I gave them this line, or at least my team gave me this line.
I spent 60 minutes with Dion and so, bit weird for me to read it, but I'll read them for you.
He showed me how to restructure my team and we saw a 40% increase in sales.
He helped me to exit a key manager and how to restructure our business.
We saved over $150,000.
He showed me how to successfully launch a new business without using the existing one to support it.
It helped me grow the new business leaner and more profitable from day one.
And he helped me to launch my new nonprofit, a fraction of the time and costs I was originally quoted.
So I asked them to put, there's a one-minute quick clip from some of them to talk to you.
It wasn't until I connected with Dion that I really understood what kingdom business actually meant.
Amazing tools that Dion has helped me with, with my business.
We've been working with Dion the past several months and we just love the breakthrough business that we're getting.
Being a part of what Dion and his team are doing has catapulted my ministry that the Lord has called me to.
But no one has more better taught me to hear from God, communicate with God, and build my business based on God's Word.
The tools I've learned from Dion have just been transformational in my own leadership.
I could not have envisioned a year ago being where I am now, not only in business, but also personally.
So it's been transformational in business. We've been able to come up with more offers and more ways that we can serve our clients.
I learned how to really communicate with God. What are the right questions to ask?
And how to rely on prayer and rely on being in the kingdom for all of your business decisions.
We've got a new team in place and our net profit compared to budget year to date is up over 100%.
Get involved if you're looking for some next level coaching, consulting, mentoring. Dion has a great and unique gift from God.
We love what he's done.
I highly recommend you do this. Don't even think twice about it. You will be so glad you did.
Cool. Well, I appreciate them saying all that. And the fourth thing, so there are five things.
The fourth thing here is the app. We have replays, worksheets, quick access.
So the app here is that this works on iOS, Android and on the web.
And it's an easy way for you to click play, hit play for your team to watch or for you just to go back and pull up the worksheets or whatever.
There's also a special AI bot that we've trained just on our content.
So if you want an immediate answer, you can just hit the AI bot and ask right there.
So that's that's one of the things the worksheets look a little bit like this.
We'll literally walk him through. They'll give him the main points and we will go through little exercises.
exercises, what we do at the end of each of these sessions is we say to them,
hey, pick one bold action, because, you know, when you listen to a video,
you think, oh, there are five things I really love.
We only let them pick one thing, one thing you can take bolder action on.
Then we ask them, how long are you going to take?
One, two or three weeks to implement it.
No more than three. We don't allow them.
Otherwise they pick something too big.
So they pick one thing that they have to implement and make permanent.
So what if every team member is making one new thing permanent
every single week, where will you be 48 weeks from now?
I can tell you a very high performance team is where you'll be.
You'll be in a whole different space.
And we're doing all of this from a obviously from a kingdom perspective
to make the shift.
And the fifth and last element that it includes is the in-person event.
So this is where we get together for it for two days.
We spend a day getting direct strategy from the Lord.
And then we turn that strategy into a plan and we leave with a plan
that will take you and your you and your business to the next level.
So we're meeting in August.
And the topic there is kingdom approach to AI.
That's the topic. Right.
So we're going to be really speaking about that.
And in this whole approach to putting this all together.
So, for instance, I just asked the team last week.
Last year, we were in Seattle.
And let me show you what that looked like.
It was absolutely a beautiful facility in Seattle in this massive screen.
And let's see if we can get that to go.
And this that we had this complete surround sound screen.
We had worship.
We had a prophetic word from Graham.
Then we five questions.
The Lord is asking you five questions you can ask God.
But two and a half hours later, people had written all this stuff up.
Then we did laser coaching quick, you know, laser coaching around.
OK, if the Lord said that you're going to need these tools.
If the Lord said that you're going to do this.
Think about this.
Here's the way to frame that.
Here's how to take your team through this.
And we literally walk them step by step through the process what to do.
Then they went from that, built a plan.
So I asked them last week.
It was about a year ago.
Last August, we all met together and well, not 10 months ago.
And I said, what did that do for you?
Every single person said it took them.
It gave them the whole strategy for the year.
In fact, if you forget about everything I just told you,
and that was the one benefit, teaching people how to do this
with the Lord and not just leave it all upstairs.
But how do we map an upstairs thing to a downstairs plan?
Because now we execute with boldness because we know the Lord is in it with us.
So that's I was keen to play this little video because it's a phenomenal screen.
But, you know, there we go.
Oh, there you go.
You can see how massive this was.
We were just enjoying this incredible panoramic view, fully immersion.
This is a big high end place where they do movie shooting and so on.
Anyway, there was there was our crew from from last year.
So let me let me get to the investment side of this.
So I said there were five components.
The first is the 48 week leader, leader forged power tools that we value.
Standalone sale would be thirty thousand dollars.
The twelve executive kingdom training session at fifteen thousand.
The two SOS calls five thousand.
And the app with replays and worksheets, it's two thousand dollars.
And then the in-person all day event, three thousand dollars.
So that added up is a fifty five thousand dollar investment.
So I know programs like these cost, you know, anywhere from 50 to 250,000.
I get all that.
But we've really jam packed this with practical steps for your entire team,
for you. How do you from the Lord?
How do you map an upstairs vision from God into downstairs action?
And so my question to you is, what would it be worth to your business
if you made the shift into your kingdom advantage, if you did this?
And here's a way to think about this.
And you've been around brilliant a long time.
You know, we were encouraging you to get God's heart
before you make any decision.
If you're if you're a one person show, you're looking at that and saying,
well, that's a big percentage.
So here's the question.
What percentage would you need to increase your business
by to invest in this program?
So let's call it 50 K.
If you've got a five hundred thousand dollar business,
you'd have to increase your sales, obviously, by 10 percent
or a million dollars by five percent.
But if you're saying, man, I only made 50 K last year, then this is 100 percent.
Then this is probably not the program for you.
Because this program, you say, well, I don't have any employees.
So let me say who this program is not for.
It's not for somebody starting a business.
This is somebody who's a little further along.
You know, you got one or two, three employees.
Maybe you got some part time helpers or maybe you're making a little money.
That's why I ask this question, because what this question is bringing together
is what are you trusting the Lord for?
If the Lord says, yes, go and do this,
then at least you know what you're asking him for.
Right. You're asking five percent, 10 percent.
Now, we've had a lot of people say they've had 40 percent.
You had somebody say they doubled their profits, et cetera, et cetera.
Of course, that's got to do with how they implemented it.
So I just wanted to set up a way for you to think about this.
So how to decide?
Well, you brilliant, you know what I'm going to say next, right?
All right. You knew I was going to say that.
All right. Upstairs permission.
These two bold downstairs action.
And the reason we always say that is all or this decision needs to start
in your partnership, in your yoke with the Lord.
So what if it wasn't fifty five thousand, which I believe it's fully?
That's the full value for sure.
We're actually going to continue to increase the price that we do every year.
And the reason is we're adding so much more value every year.
But our team prepared a special offer for this year's be sole members.
So this is a special offer to you and for because you're part
of the school of leadership this year, and you've already made some investment
in some of this learning yourself.
So what if we did a 67 percent off
and we'll make it available to the end of this month, end of June?
So that would mean eighteen thousand dollars.
I hope that makes you happy.
So that's what we would like.
We wanted to be as generous as possible in the program.
And what do you need to do to claim a space?
You know, there's fifteen hundred dollar.
So it's fifteen hundred dollars a month.
So but your first payment, you can do fifteen hundred dollars.
You can join us immediately in the next event,
which is the it's actually the second week in July
because of the fourth of July.
So you can claim your space with that.
Then in 30 days later, you can just carry on eleven payments of fifteen hundred.
So for a business, fifteen hundred dollars should be nothing.
For your average business,
you couldn't hire an HR director to do anything for fifteen hundred bucks a month.
So if you could, please send me their name.
I want to use them to and they deliver all that.
So that'd be great.
OK, so but if you want to save another three thousand dollars, you're welcome.
If you want to pay fifteen thousand up front or painful,
let's save you another three, three thousand dollars.
So orientation starts next Wednesday.
So June the 25th at 10 a.m. Pacific.
We're going to go through orientation.
We're going to explain what are these sessions like?
How do you prepare?
What do you need to bring, et cetera, et cetera.
And then two weeks directly after that.
I think it's the ninth of July.
Jenny, is it the ninth of July is the next inner circle meeting.
Correct. Ninth of July next inner circle meeting.
And then after that, it's almost always the first Wednesday
if there's not a public holiday.
OK, so we'll go through that orientation session next Wednesday
for everyone who has joined the brilliant inner circle.
And so if you're interested, you can claim a space.
Jenny's already clicked, provided you the link.
You can claim it there.
And if you need help processing your payment,
I think they've created a breakout room.
Jenny, walk us through what comes next.
Sure. So if you would like help processing your payment,
please raise your hand and we can put you in a on a list
to go into a private room with Danielle, who will process your payment with you.
And we'll send you in one at a time so that all of your payment
details are protected.
If you have questions about the program,
you can just let us know in the chat and we'll go ahead
and move you into a breakout room
with another team member who can answer your questions.
So just so that you know, Jenny has been through this training four times
as our team has, and she's actually training the team
and another team at the same time.
So Jenny is exactly the person to be asking how this works.
And she's been part of all the inner circle.
So she's the right person.
So if you have any questions, you can go to the help desk breakout room.
And thank you for taking time and listening.
I appreciate it.
Jenny, where where is the in-person event this year?
Do you know?
Yes, I do. It's in Trillis, Georgia.
Trillis, Georgia.
Yes.
Great.
Great. And we have until the 30th to make a decision on this.
Is that correct?
Right.
The 30th of June.
Did he say, I think so.
For pricing.
I think he meant for this pricing offer.
Yes.
OK, cool.
That's what I needed to know.
Pricing good till June 30.
Great.
Has this been recorded?
Because I had to step away for a minute.
Yes, it has.
I'll get a recording on it.
Sure, I can talk to the team, and we'll
see about sending the recording out for folks.
You can always ask questions, too.
Awesome.
Yes.
Thanks.
I missed such a big gap.
I was like, sure.
Yes.
A lot of questions, because I don't know what even to ask.
Sure.
But thank you so much.
I so appreciate it.
And I'll look forward to that.
I'll sit and listen to that, if that's
OK to get a recording of.
That'd be awesome.
And I come up with any questions I can ask from there.
Sure.
Awesome.
All righty.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Dawn.
Appreciate it.
Have a great day.
You, too.
Take care.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
All right.
Well, it does not appear that there are any questions
or does anyone need help into the breakout room
to help processing a payment?
If so, if you raise your hand, I can go ahead and move you
in there.
All right.
Thank you.
OK.
Well, if there are no other questions,
thank you, everyone, for joining us.
And we will see those of you who signed up at the orientation
call next week.
See you later.
Have a great day.
