All right, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Good morning or later morning, depending what time zone you are on.
If we had some of our UK people, it'd even be good evening.
So welcome, welcome.
Here we are.
This is the monthly kickoff meeting, the monthly activation.
Now, if you're listening to this in real time, it's actually the beginning of September.
I love, love, love, love September.
Love it.
Anybody else love September?
Any of you put in the chat if you know that this is such a powerful month from so many
ways.
So I felt it incredibly important that we dedicate this monthly kickoff.
We do this, of course, the first Tuesday of every month.
Then we come back and we close out the month as Prosper Leader members the third Thursday
in the evening.
And then we do office hours every Thursday to stay.
And let me just check out some of the stuff you're saying.
Yes, but I'm in October, baby.
So I love it.
I love it because October's coming.
That's okay.
All right.
I love that.
Charlotte loves September.
How many of you have noticed that there's a different energy in the season change from
summer and we just came through Labor Day?
How many of you have noticed that there's a completely different energy?
Have you noticed that?
Yeah, yeah.
And so there's all kinds of reasons, right?
I mean, there's the superficial, let's say, reasons that school is starting for those
who have kids and that just, you know, changes things.
There's the getting back into routine.
We're not on vacation anymore.
Summer's over.
That kind of changes things.
But I believe there's also an incredible spiritual dynamic that happens in September.
I'm not Jewish, although my DNA showed that I have a lot of it in me.
So a lot of Eastern European Jewish in my DNA, because I don't know who my father is.
Those of you that know my story.
So there's something that shifts in me.
It has for 10, 15 years as we get near the Jewish holidays.
And so for me, there's like, you'll notice those of you that have been around me, there's
an activation that happens for me in September.
And so I don't believe it's just another month.
I believe as we come into harvest season, as we come into the Jewish new year, Rosh
of the year, that if we align and we activate, we not only are able to finish this year with
incredible power, but it is and it is sending an incredible signal for next year.
So there's a couple scriptures.
One of them, you know, it is my signature scripture.
And I'm going to point out something a little different in it than I normally do.
OK, and that is 3 John 2.
And 3 John 2 says, Beloved.
I pray you prosper in all things and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
This has been my favorite signature verse for decades, and it holds
so much truth.
One is that God is a God of wholeness, that when he created us, different words that you
might know, the biblical word for peace, shalom.
There is a wholeness that God desires for us to prosper in the multidimensions of who we
are. So he wants us to prosper physically.
The body is the container that connects us with earth and that holds the Holy Spirit.
Like, you know, we're the temple of Holy Spirit, the soul, the mind, will and emotions.
Right. And the spirit, which is directly connecting to his spirit.
And so it says in this verse that we prosper even as our soul prospers.
So our mind will and.
emotions prosper. So as we go into an activation and make sure that we're looking at all of those
things. And those of you that have been reading Total Soul Prosperity, I'm going to pull from
different things in here. It's all in here, but one of them is the chapter, the E, if you have
not read the E in here, it's near the end of the book about emotional alignment. And I talk about
the proper alignment of what does that mean, aligning spirit, soul, and body. And so I love
that this verse talks about that. What I want to talk about a little different today is,
I pray you prosper in all, that word all. It has to do, because what I want to do today is I want
to do a clearing, an activation, a positioning of getting you ready. And so one of the things
that we have to clear is the blocks and the places that we have limited where we are not going for
we're going for more. I want just a little bit more. And the challenge with that
is first of all, a little bit more is that never ends.
So I can remember thinking in this business in 2012, oh, if I could just be at $5,000 a month,
that'd be really awesome. And you get there and you're like, if I could just be at $10,000
a month, that'd be amazing. Ah, six figures, I did it. And then it's like,
truth is in this society, with the expenses and the way things are, six figures is not very much.
How many of you figured that out? It's not actually that much. When I was younger being
a millionaire, wow, that was a big deal. In this day and age, hitting seven figures. So my point is
that there's a part of us that is ever expansive. And yet, we tend to shut that down. And I'm going
to go through a clearing as to how we shut that down so we can open it back up and be willing to
go for the all that God wants to give us, that prospering in all. And so we're going to focus
on clearing. Then we're going to focus on clarity. We're going to focus on consistency. You know,
I'm a strong believer. Consistency creates momentum. And then we're going to have an activation to
really kick this month off. So we're hitting it from all those angles. So let's take a minute
to pray and then jump into it. So Father God, as we come into this amazing, amazing season
of harvest, I know that you are able to do exceedingly, abundantly,
above and beyond anything we could ask, hope, or imagine.
So I know from that verse that what we've been asking
is too small. What we've been hoping is too small. What we've been imagining is too small.
And that you, as infinite love, as infinite greatness, as infinite mercy, as infinite
possibility, as infinity itself, life, love itself, you're able to do more than that.
You desire to do more than that, exceedingly more than that. Paul couldn't come up in that
superlatives. Exceedingly, abundantly more than that. Exceedingly, abundantly,
above and beyond anything we could ask, hope, or imagine. So Lord, open our minds,
open our hearts that we go into this month with an openness, a receptiveness, a willingness,
a freshness. I ask that
to increase our capacity, increase our capacity to dream, increase our capacity to hold vision,
increase our capacity to serve, increase our capacity to give and receive love,
increase our capacity to invent, to create, to innovate, increase our capacity
to connect with you and fully live from who you've said you are and who you've said we are,
seated in high places. Help us to see from that vantage point, to live from that vantage point,
to act from that vantage point by the power of your Holy Spirit. I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen. Amen. All right. So one of the things that's been hitting me, and I made some notes
because I don't want to leave anything out. One thing that has really shifted in me
in the last few months is the understanding of the need to increase our capacity.
So I've seen this in many conversations. If you read the Prosper Inspirational newsletter,
I talked about this on Sunday. And I'm going to talk about it more as we enter in,
because it's an area I see many of the women and men that I work with stuck.
And there's religiosity, there's things that have gotten into the church that are
considered an acceptable way to live or say things that actually become an excuse
for playing small, for staying stagnant. One of those, there's two that I put in the newsletter,
two. Okay. I love that, Tracy. My capacity is ever increasing. I love you're on it. You've
picked up the message. I love that in the chat. Okay. It's been my prayer way more now
than any. Asking for anything, it is, well, it's all in here. I'm teaching it and I have to live
by it. So it is, if we're looking at chapters, it's the O about opening flow. It's the S about
creating. When we're talking about capacity, it's the S about both simplifying and creating space,
creating space for what you desire. And that's when we're talking about capacity,
it's the space to be able to receive. You see, I feel that God is infinite. He's infinite love.
He's always pouring out. There's no limit. And so what we are able to tap into is through our
capacity, right? And so some of the things we say that sound really religious and really good,
but they keep us stuck in small. One of them is I'm waiting on God. I'm just waiting on God.
And that becomes an excuse to not have to do a single thing and sound really holy.
Okay. Now, yes, there's scriptures about waiting on God and there's a place for waiting on God.
And I am all for that. Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They'll mount up with
wings of eagles, right? They shall walk and not grow weary, run and not faint. So is there some
waiting on God? Absolutely. The key is understanding that word wait. It's not passive.
It's not. It is a very active. It is a waiting with expectation, a waiting with faith, a creating
space as you wait. Okay. I've got something that God revealed that's coming to me that I'm super
excited about that has not come for a year. We're going on. I want to say around October or November,
it'll be a year, but I'm waiting in such a different way. I am waiting with so much excitement.
I am constantly going.
And what else do I need to prepare to create space for this?
What do I need to do to increase my capacity for this?
Where does my love walk need to increase?
Where does my understanding capacity need to increase?
Where does my skillset capacity need to increase?
And so there's a difference.
It's like when you're waiting for a baby,
you're expecting, you're waiting for a baby,
but you're not just sitting there for nine months
going, okay, got a baby coming in nine months.
I'm just gonna sit on the couch and eat bonbons
and watch TV because the baby's coming in nine months.
No, what do you do?
All kinds of stuff.
You're like, I know a lot of women that, you know,
they've gone through this as they're building their business.
I had one that I coached all the way up
till she was about to deliver.
I'm gonna deliver, and once I deliver,
things are gonna change.
This is what I need to put in place in my business
so I'm ready with the child.
I've got income coming in.
I've got time.
I've created, right?
So you're preparing your business.
You're preparing your mind.
You're preparing maybe a baby room, right?
Maybe you've had a baby shower.
What do you need?
You've got some things on hand, right?
And so it is this very expectant waiting.
So when we say we're waiting on God,
making sure that's not justification for inactivity
in your faith, inactivity in...
What I wanna say about that though
is that many of the people that are waiting on God,
and I put this in the newsletter,
God is waiting on them, okay?
It's actually reversed.
So what do I mean?
What if you're not waiting on God?
What if God is waiting on you?
I want that just to...
Let that sink in for a second.
Just let that really land.
What if I'm not waiting on God, but God's waiting on me?
There's so many examples in scripture
that God could only pour out
what we had the capacity to receive.
And, and I'm gonna talk about important clearing right now
as we talk about this,
is that there's things that actually delay
the answer to your prayer.
They actually delay God being able to move.
We can delay God with our words, with our beliefs.
And so I wanna talk about that.
So before God can pour out these blessings,
we have to increase capacity.
So that religiosity of waiting on God.
The other religiosity that also comes with a shadow,
it comes from maybe in childhood
that you were programmed not to be selfish,
not to be greedy.
And so the new way of thinking to get love and acceptance,
you were taught to not be too much, first of all,
not want too much and not have too much.
Any one of those could have love be withdrawn
or bring in criticism.
And if you know what I'm talking about,
so we were taught to shrink and play small to be accepted.
So the religious thing becomes,
oh, I'm just really great.
I don't need much, have this this week.
I'm just grateful, grateful for what I have.
Again, like waiting on God, I am so about gratitude.
Every day, wake up with gratitude,
speak gratitude, live gratitude,
but don't use gratitude as an opportunity to play small.
Am I talking to anybody?
Put in the chat if any of this is making sense.
And so the things that can, as we start with the clearing,
as we go into this important month,
there's some things often creating capacity
is removing some stuff, right?
So if I've got a cup, very looks dirty cup
because it's got a lot of supplements in it.
So it's kind of milky around there.
I don't know if I should show this on screen,
but this has a certain amount of capacity.
If it's full, let's say it's full right here.
There's no more capacity to go in here.
So what is our cup full of that is contrary
to what God wants it to fill it with
that has to come out to create space?
This is also increasing.
incapacity. Okay, so doubt. Think about the promise to to
Abraham, the promise to Abraham to have many children. And when
Sarah overheard that she was so in the circumstances, are you
kidding? Like we're Have you looked at our age how far past
I'm menopause, the promise of God actually made her laugh. And
that laugh was a doubt laugh. Like if I say you're going to be
a millionaire next week, and you laugh, it's not because it's
funny. It's a doubt laugh. And God called her on it. That
blocked the capacity to receive the promises of God. And she had
to go through some series of learning how to wait
expectantly and trusting and not take matters into her own
hands like she did. So that doubt actually delayed God's
promise 14 years. Okay, the doubt of when the Hebrews were
freed from Egypt, they had everything they needed. The
promised land was a seven day journey. It was all there. God
had made a land of milk and honey. He had spoken to the
given a promise. But that seven day journey took 40 years that
wasn't on God's end. That was the in this book, they are the
renewing of the mind that had to happen to let go of the old
thinking the desire to run back to easy street. They were
slaves, but they were still considering going back. Because
at least we had meals at least we had a place to sleep here in
desert. I don't know what this looks like. Right. So at least I
had a job I could count on a paycheck, many women, maybe I
should just go back there. Go back to Egypt, it was slavery, I
couldn't determine when I took vacations, I had to work extra,
I got blah, blah, blah, I couldn't determine my I couldn't
give myself raises. But at least I had as we want to go back to
easy street. The desert. Yeah, God's promised us having a
business. Yeah, I have unlimited capacity, I can live out my
gifts, I can serve, but the uncertainty of the fear, the
doubt, all of that, right, that takes up space. So that the
capacity for God to pour out is not there. I want to see you
guys got some good stuff there. Okay, even this morning, I was
thinking I am feeling prosperous now right here in my
small space. Good. But am I associating expansion with the
loss of presence and peace and believing I don't have the
capacity to be present in a bigger space. I have to know
that the skill set I need to grow is exactly this growing my
capacity. You're so you're so on it this morning. You are so on
it this morning. Seriously. So this is what we do. And this is
of course, the definition of the comfort zone that we associate.
Oh, if I get bigger. This is what's also known in coaching as
a value conflict. So like in my case, I freedom is a super big
value for me peace and freedom, my two highest values. So I had
to work through a value conflict of thinking that the bigger I
get the less freedom I would have. That's an example where
you got gas and brakes on at the same time. That's an example
where we're not willing to expand our capacity because what
if it means more responsibility and I can't do it? What if it
means that I lose myself all the stories that we tell
ourselves? What if it means I'm not good enough? What if it
means I lose my peace? What if I can't invest in my family
anymore and I lose my family? What if money makes me greedy? I
could go on to I mean, I've been coaching a long time all of
block that capacity. So let's take a minute. I don't want to
run out of time. Let's just pause for a second. I want you
to journal and here's some questions I want you to think
about and go deep with as you prepare for September. Number
one, where am I letting my past define me? Where is my past
determining my future? I failed. I don't think I can do
this in the past. I worked so hard. I lost myself. I'm afraid
if I do it, I'm going to lose myself. Where are you letting a
past story create your current and future story? This is so
important. We're going to clear this to go forward. Where am I
letting the past define me?
Number two, where, this is so big, where are my words creating delay, holding me back?
My words.
Do you know that when you complain?
So, if God inhabits our praises, who inhabits our complaints?
If every word itself is a vessel, scripture says our words do not return void.
There's a boomerang, there's so much about words in scripture.
You all know how the power of words, the power of life and death is actually in the tongue.
So, where are my words?
Where are my speaking delay?
Speaking fear, speaking doubt, speaking impossibility, speaking limitation, speaking lack.
We got to really be careful.
This includes judging any negative report, where are my, it's so important that we guard
our words.
You know, where are my words creating delay?
Yes, they are.
We say things like, I know it's going to take a long time.
You know, Kate, she's such a good sport because she's just so brilliant and she's been spending
time in all of this.
And Kate, how many times in our coaching did I say, which I say in all different coaching,
did I say, yep, that's the story.
How many times did I say that, right?
Because she'll come out with a brilliantly, and you know, scripture says that we don't
wrestle against flesh and blood, but we wrestle against principalities and powers.
And it goes on to say in the amplified translation, cleverly crafted tales, cleverly crafted tales.
And so we tell these stories and we tell them with conviction and we believe these stories.
And so often it takes a coach to say, that's a story.
You can hold to the story, but you also can change the story because understand that your
beliefs are just strongly held opinions and opinions can be changed, okay?
Make them line up with what God says, with what's truly possible.
Number three, where am I limiting what I can receive?
And number four, who or what am I still judging that blocks my flow of mercy?
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
And so when we judge someone, we're actually blocking ourselves.
I've seen this in some people close to me.
It's astounding.
They have judged me.
They have spoken word curses over me.
My ears are sensitive to it.
And I've actually prayed for them that they don't have to suffer the consequences of those words.
Because I watch and they end up, those words come back.
It's not me that those things they spoke are happening to, it's them.
And it's not pretty.
Those strong word curses, boom.
So look at those first four and reflect on those.
And let's do a quick clearing of that.
And I want to go on to the next thing.
I don't want to run out of time.
So Lord, wherever our thoughts have been limited, I ask that first you give us awareness.
Because awareness is the first step to transformation.
Once we know something, we can change something.
When we're unaware, we can't change it.
So bring to our awareness where our beliefs, where our words, where our judgments, where our complaints,
our beliefs have blocked our capacity.
Can we please increase our awareness?
And in the name of Jesus,
I pray those strongholds,
those places that those thoughts have been repeated so much
that they have become a stronghold in our life,
I pray by the power of the name of Jesus
that those strongholds dissolve and dissipate,
never to return.
I pray that you will increase our capacity
to dream again without fear, without doubt,
without religiosity.
I pray you increase our capacity to not only believe for,
but expect, create space for,
step into the identity of those things we desire.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Write this declaration down.
I open my vessel to receive infinite blessings.
I open myself, my temple, my mind, my heart, my spirit,
to receive infinite blessings.
I release all judgments and awaken mercy.
I'm ready to transform.
So let's just activate that really quick,
and then I wanna go on to the next thing.
Let's just stand for a second.
See if I can do this here with you, okay?
Let's just stand for a second,
and I want you to breathe in the breath of God,
the love of God, the power of God, the strength of God.
Just breathe it in.
Hold it, and I want you to just release all fear, doubt,
worry, just blow it all out, every limiting belief.
And then I want you just to move
and just shake it out a little bit.
Shake off those things that have gotten deeply entrenched,
that you believe, just shake them out.
You know, when an animal needs to heal,
their body starts shaking.
When we get sick, we start shaking,
because shaking moves the energy out.
So let's just shake out, letting go.
And then let's embrace.
I step into my September, whole, open, receptive, blessed,
excited, ready to build new things.
Okay, this is such a powerful exercise.
You know, I went through something after writing my book,
and I had someone really upset with me about my book.
And this is what will happen for you.
Really upset with me,
and it was someone that I really cared about.
And I had to just kind of breathe through it
during and talk and stay calm.
But I immediately after, I immediately,
I went out into my backyard barefoot on the grass.
Those of you that understand grounding,
I do a lot of grounding.
So barefoot in the grass.
And it happened to be an evening,
and I happened to see the moon, and it was a new moon.
And I said, yeah, all things are new.
And I shook it all off.
Everything I had just heard, I just shook it all off.
Then I prayed blessings on that person.
I prayed a covering over myself.
And do you know, by the time I came back in the house,
there was an apology in my phone.
I could have, now this is always gonna be your test.
Will you react or will you respond?
Will you go into your old habits?
Will you retreat?
Will you argue?
Will you complain?
Will you defend?
Or are you going to use it to increase your capacity?
Okay, let's go quick into number two, which is clarity.
So number one is increasing your capacity.
Number two is clarity, clarity.
Clarity is what creates confidence,
and confidence creates momentum, right?
So we've been talking Romans 12, two.
be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
So, what needs to happen with clarity
is not only do you need to be clear this season, you need to be committed to speaking with clarity.
Let your words be few, let them be powerful, let them be clear.
So, let's tie this into business in September.
The first thing is you should always be clear who you are speaking to.
Who? Who are you speaking to? Be clear,
absolutely clear, and repeat that all the time.
So, I'm speaking to faith-based women in business, entrepreneurs,
coaches, consultants, healers, who desire to build profitable faith-integrated businesses,
who desire a comprehensive approach that God has given me to connect heaven and earth.
We don't leave out the faith, we don't leave out the power of the Holy Spirit,
we don't leave out purpose, we don't leave out identity, we don't leave out substance.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. We don't leave out substance.
However, we don't stay only there, like we just talked earlier, without action.
We bring in strategy, we bring in practicality, so we bring in the profitability.
In September, who are you working with? Clarity.
Knowing them, what problem do they have or desire that they have that you solve?
Are you clear on that? Communicate it over and over and over.
What do you help them do? Okay, so who, what problem? Here's what I want you to get so clear.
Do not talk. The days are gone of talking all about your course, all about your service,
all about, you know, what you offer, you're offering. Talk about the transformation they
will experience. Talk, see them already elevated. Talk about the new identity they're stepping into
as a result of working with you. So, you know who they are, you talk to them,
you communicate the pain, you understand their pain, you understand their struggle,
you understand the problem, you understand the stock point. You talk about that, establish that,
and now talk about where they are going. See them from that new identity, communicate from that
new identity, communicate the excitement of working with you, what happens. So, that's the clarity.
You must communicate all the time. So, what is the transformation that you offer? I always say that,
what's the transformation that you offer? Okay, so I offer XYZ that person, right,
going from XYZ pain to XYZ. I like to say going from pain island to pleasure island,
and this is the ship, your vehicle. So, I take who from what pain island, right,
to where, what pleasure island. So, I help women break free from striving
so they can truly prosper in peace. I help leaders stuck in fear step into bold confidence.
Okay, put in the chat if you can already do this clearly right now. Can you say that right now?
If not, that is your homework, and you're going to be charged with speaking that every day for the
next 30 days of September. You must communicate that clearly, and they need to see it 25 times,
26 times. So, I encourage you, put in the chat right now. I help who go from where to where.
Let me see it. Pop it in the chat right now. Pop it in the chat right now. I help who go from where
to where. I help
Who, go from where, to where?
Yes, in September.
I love that.
Absolutely.
OK.
If you have not done this, we have to make sure this is done.
Now, I'm going to close with this,
and then I want us to talk about it here, OK?
Finally, is the consistency factor.
So we had to clear out these things to create the capacity.
We have to be absolutely clear.
Who do we speak with?
What are we offering?
What's the problem we solve?
What's the transformation they'll experience?
Because we've got to speak with pure,
not distracted bits, not changing,
not you can come from different angles of the same thing.
You can tell a story about that.
You can give a how-to about that.
You can come in from conviction about that.
You can share your experience.
You can get, you understand.
We can have variety in how we show up,
but it's always speaking to that person
about that new identity they're stepping into.
And within that clarity must be your offer.
They need to understand your offer without friction.
They need to be able to say yes right now to that offer
so it's so clear what is the offer.
And I encourage you all in September
to have a trust-building offer,
something that's so easy to say yes to.
OK, wrap that up with consistency.
Breakthrough isn't in sporadic bursts.
It's in that steady.
I like to think about how water erodes a rock.
It's just that steady, steady, steady, steady, steady,
steady, steady.
So your role is not to convince, but consistently offer.
Consistently bring it forth, consistently.
So you're introducing the pain.
You're introducing the shift.
You're introducing the vehicle of how to get there
and you're making a clear, clear offer
and you're doing it over and over and over and over.
The pain, where your clients are right now,
the shift, what's the new possibility that they can be,
the vehicle, your group, your course, your program,
what it is that you're offering,
your system, like the Prosper System.
Your offer, one clear, easy to understand next step.
OK, repeat it overly and over and over and over.
OK?
Now I want you to imagine that it's December 31st
and you're looking back over the last few months
and you feel peace because you didn't just drift,
you built momentum.
You went back and reactivated some old relationships,
some old clients, some old conversations.
You signed on new clients.
You stepped boldly into your calling.
You were so clear why you're here, who you serve,
how you help them, what you're offering.
And that's what we want to see.
So I want you to go through these.
I desire for you to go through these again
after you get off the call,
the clarity consistently opening.
So let's talk for two, three minutes here together
and then I'll close us in prayer.
So go ahead and unmute yourself
and oh, some people had to go to work.
I know we lost some people.
So let's just go ahead
and I'm gonna actually stop the recording here
and let's just have a conversation real quick
and then we'll wrap it up.
