All right, and welcome to Office Hours.
This of course is one of the benefits of being a Prosper Leader member.
We bring, in Prosper and All Things, we bring together heaven and earth in business.
And the heaven, of course, is the faith and the passion, the purpose, the prayer, the
presence of God that really makes business come alive.
It's like the breath of God in your business.
And the earth is like the skeleton in your business.
It's the structure, it's the systems, and we need those two together to have successful
businesses.
And so we tend to err in one side or the other.
We are really dry spiritually and we're running a great business, but we're exhausted and
burned out and not integrating God.
We're separated from the vine, as Jesus talked about.
Or we are super strong in the presence and the prayer life and everything, but our systems
are not there.
And so we're not producing the results that we want or the peace that we want.
And there's overwhelm and there's chaos and confusion.
So in the Prosper Leader membership and on a bigger, higher level of coaching, in the
Total Soul Prosperity 90 Day Reset, where now you not only get the group elements,
but you get the coaching and the tools and the implementation to make sure that this
is happening in your business.
So here at office hours is the earth part.
And so this is where we start looking at the structure of your business.
And it could be in any, I'm going to talk today about the nine areas of business that
we can get disconnected and start to identify where that is in yours.
And so we were having a pre-conversation, the early bird always gets that.
And so Marisa was talking this morning and she has, she's speaking tomorrow and she's
got a quick 10 minutes.
And when you speak, you want to ask some really basic questions.
Okay.
And then I'm going to help you break it down a little bit, and then you can ask even more
questions and Joy, you can ask, you can, you can jump in as well.
So first thing you want to ask is what do I want them to remember?
So when they leave that 10 minutes, they go, man, yeah, in fact, I have a coach friend
that often says you want to leave a movie playing in their head long after you leave
them.
In other words, like they really remember.
And the best way of course, to remember is appointment story or something or something,
a slogan or something that's really catchy.
So what do I want them to remember helps you create your outline and helps you to repeat
it several times, the thing you really want remembered, right?
And so what do I want them to remember?
Of course, you also want to ask, what do I want them to feel?
What do I want them to feel?
Because you know, who was it that said people don't remember what you say, but how you made
them feel?
Joy, do you remember who quoted that?
Yeah.
Famous quote, right?
So, you know, after hearing you, do they leave feeling hope?
Do they feel inspired?
Do they feel like taking action?
Do they?
That was my word that came up.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
And so what do I want them to remember?
What do I want them to feel?
And what do I want them to do?
Right.
The action, the call to action, and you've got to have a strong call to action.
Yep.
So then within your 10 minutes, you don't want to waste a second.
You don't want to open with fluff, which many people do.
Oh, I'm so excited for speed networking.
I'm so glad to meet you all.
I'm thankful that I get to be the one talking.
No, none of that.
None of that.
Come in strong with a story or a statistic or a question.
Can you relate something that you immediately have their engagement?
I was coming in with a question.
I was trying to come in with a question.
Good.
You got, you know, you got 2.9 seconds to catch their attention.
So you want to, yeah.
So
a way you would do that is, let me ask you, do you find
yourself and just go straight into the question? Okay. And
then you start pulling them in, okay. And you've got the middle
portion of this to make a point or two points around what is
procrastination and what is it costing us? And what is
purpose? And why is it absolutely crucial that we know
ours and we step into ours? Right? And in this short 10
minutes, I'm going to give you a strategy, maybe something they
can use right away, perhaps, or an exercise that you do with
them right there. And a story. And the story would ideally help
them be able to paint themselves into the story. So
they could see themselves. But also, as you're focusing on the
client success, you are establishing your credibility,
and a reason why they want to work with you. Right? Good
word. We're crafting a 10 minute talk that Marisa is doing
tomorrow. And so we're going through what makes a great talk
and starting with the three questions. What do I want them
to remember, that really sticks with them? Long after the talk
is over, which means you got to not just fill their head with
tons of stuff. Don't just talk for 10 minutes, they won't
remember anything. Make a poignant point. Yeah, no. And
then back it up with a story or an exercise. And so the story
can be and and Charlie, just to fill you in, what do I want them
to remember? What do I want them to feel? What do I want them to
do? Right? So, um, in the story, ideally, would be to tell a
client story. Okay. And in any form, um, that, oh, I have a
really a really good one that I was working with a woman here
years ago, and she didn't know whether to step out and do
entrepreneurship or stay with what she was comfortable with.
And I helped her with that discernment. She now runs the
water conservation district here in the town. Okay, so what
you just gave me is powerful success story. Okay,
congratulations. Who can tell me what's missing in that story?
Joy, Charlie, how I'm missing a feeling. I have no connection to
be honest. Thank you. Thank you for that. Okay, we don't tell
facts. Facts tell stories sell and the story meaning the heart
the emotion. Okay. So it'd be better if you could describe
her. And so what was her name? Christina. Okay. I remember when
I met Christina, and you could if you don't want to use her
real name, you could say Josephine for for privacy. But
if you can use her name, if she shared her testimony and willing
to share, she's given me permission. She's one of my
higher credibility. One second joy. So so I remember when I met
Christina, and I remember the tension in her face and the
confusion as she just it was keeping her up at night and she
was rattling trying to make decisions and it was causing her
to be so stuck that she couldn't move forward or do anything. It
was like her feet were in quicksand. And as we went
through the processes that I do when I work with my clients, and
she got clarity, you could see the freedom, you could see the
lightness, and she was able to make decisions to move out of
procrastination into purpose. And she stepped into a job that
she loves she is now doing. Okay, do you feel the difference
in the first on the second? You know, what I bought a car and I
really liked it. I got a great deal. I bought a Tesla that on
my dream board for 10 years. And every time I get in that thing,
I feel happy, right? You get to different storytelling. Okay,
joy. And
my only my only statement, I guess would be just make sure
that your initial startup question relates to the story
because otherwise, there's disconnect. Yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
Start out with, like, have you ever struggled and felt like you're not sure which direction
to turn?
Yes.
And what would be really fun for you, Marisa, and you have to boom, boom, boom in 10 minutes.
Okay.
But a question like that, and then there's a pause and let them think for a second.
Right.
Then I get up and I would ask chat GPT and then confirm because it lies and exaggerates
and tells you all kinds of stuff like, don't make chat GPT your coach, you're going to
be in trouble.
That's going to be one of my top people that are using chat GPT as their coach.
I just saw again yesterday, I'm going to come back to your talk, right?
So I asked it how it would write this particular post, right?
And it wrote a post and I asked it if that was level 10 and it said, yes, now I'm a coach.
I know there was serious things wrong.
The average person would have posted that and you know what would have happened?
Social media would have throttled them and it would have gone out to nobody.
In that post were two links right in the post.
Okay.
You don't put links in a post.
Anybody that knows social media knows that the platforms were throttled and it won't
get shown.
So then I come back around and I say, doesn't it hurt the deliverability if there's links
in the post?
Oh yes, absolutely.
And it went through all the reasons why the post wouldn't get shown and yet it presented
to me as a level 10 post.
So the people that are using chat GPT as a coach and don't have the knowledge and wisdom,
they're getting taken astray.
So you've got to be very careful how you use it and what you rely on it for.
But it can give you starter things and it can open your mind, but definitely don't make
that your go-to.
So anyway-
Oh no.
It just helps clarify some of the stuff.
Yep.
So back to that.
So you've got this question and this pause, and then I would grab the most recent article
or statistic about women and procrastination.
What's it, what do we know?
Like if there's a, say, what's the most recent article or publication that includes the cost
of procrastination for women?
Like what's it costing?
Right?
And-
Thank you.
That can give you a very powerful backup to the question of why what you're about to say
is so important and why it matters.
Okay?
Then you go into the body that we talked about and you're walking them through, and now you're
letting them imagine, because what you have with procrastination and purpose is you have
the ideal, which is pain island to pleasure island, pain island to pleasure island, right?
And so you're describing the pain island.
What's procrastination?
And I take that in all the areas of your life.
If I was coaching you, what's procrastination costing you in your health?
What's it costing you in your finances, in your business?
What's it costing you in your relationships?
What's it costing you in your emotional health, your peace?
What's it costing you in your self-esteem knowing that you're continuously stuck in
this?
Would you, you get it?
Like this becomes really real.
It's not just a word.
Oh yeah, I procrastinate, right?
And then you go further.
And this is actually my favorite is to what is the power of a woman that knows her purpose?
So I mean, that's one of the first things I do when I coach someone.
We're going to get so clear on your purpose and on your vision.
And I mean, clarity creates so much freedom.
So I like to say, it's almost like driving a car without knowing your purpose is like
driving a high performance that needs premium fuel.
And you're using the lowest grade, cheapest gas.
And ultimately, the engine gets clogged.
It stops performing, it makes noises, things break down, it's more expensive.
You need to be running premium fuel through a premium car, right?
And unless you have a Tesla and you don't use fuel, but you get my drift, right?
Cheers, ladies.
We all raised our glasses at their mugs at the same time.
That's so cool.
So now we go from the pain of procrastination and what's the cost, which includes the
cost of not taking action.
Then we go into, which I believe this is God's heart,
and I believe every woman has to absolutely know
what she was born for and what her purpose is,
or she's running on very low-grade fuel.
She's operating at very low efficiency,
but when she knows it, the joy, the peace, the passion,
the intensity, the purpose,
the ability to make decisions, right?
And so you can really paint the picture.
What is life like when you really know your purpose?
What's the freedom that creates?
What's the direction that creates,
the possibility that creates,
the stick-to-it-iveness to go through hard times
that it creates?
Like it just, there's so much beauty and passion
that's in the purpose, right?
So now you've moved them from there
and you've got like, you know,
the eight minutes in between, right?
Or seven, let's say seven minutes,
two minutes in all the intro to lay the foundation,
and then seven minutes to build this, including the story.
And then you've got a minute to close.
You want to have a really strong, easy close.
And I would make it directly tied to this.
So if you've been struggling with procrastination
or unclear on your purpose,
I'm doing a 15 minute or a 20 minute
procrastination-to-purpose breakthrough strategy call.
Boom.
You get to have a call.
Perfect.
That, my dear, is worth gold.
And we already got you two clients
since you started working with me.
Let's go add a couple more now.
Okay?
Yeah, beautiful, beautiful.
Thank you.
That's part of your purpose
is bringing transformation and serving.
And so that happens after the sale.
And the sale, you don't have time there to make a sale.
And you could go one or two ways.
You could get a lead magnet,
but now you're relying on a lot of steps
for them to get it.
You could have a QR code and sell a lead magnet
that you collect their name and email,
and then you could follow up with that and get a call.
But if you landed really strong,
I think having a signup sheet for a call right there
or a QR code that it goes to your calendar,
make it easy, make it no friction, right?
You want it just, there's nothing to stop them
from making a call.
They just hook their phone up.
It goes straight to your calendar.
And using Coach Accountable, like we got you set up,
that already collects their email
and their phone number and everything.
So just when they book on your calendar,
now we can start the follow-up sequence,
which is beautiful.
How's that feel?
Thank you so much, Brenda.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
It feels really good.
And I love Joy's feedback too.
Like when you quickly do it, I'm like,
but no, taking the time,
because today is the day that I've been taking the time
to really flush it out, perfect it, time it,
make sure that I always know to ask a question
and to get them their buy-in,
like kind of what Joy said,
their pain in the very beginning,
what does that look like?
Or feel like, excuse me, not even look like,
what does that feel like to them?
So thank you.
Most people, and yes, thank you, Joy, for sharing.
And that's the beauty of the Prosper Leader membership
is everybody's giving feedback.
Joy's gotten a lot of training in sales.
Didn't you do the Carnegie or something, Joy?
Yeah, I've been, well, I did sales for about 11 years.
So I did a higher level management sales,
but I did Dale Carnegie and taught Dale Carnegie as well.
But I'll tell you the other secret.
If I can tell you the opening question and nod my head
and you nod back, we're a hundred percent gold.
I'm selling you.
So just so you know.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
It's getting the yeses.
I know that it's getting the yeses.
If you nod and they nod back, you're in.
Love it.
Love it, love it, love it.
So good.
Who are you speaking to?
It's a group of businesses or entrepreneurs.
I was telling Brenda, it's a networking speed event.
So instead of speed dating, it's speed networking
with about 20 to 25 individuals in the community
who are wanting to network.
I love it.
Love it, love it.
Good.
And you're doing a talk there?
Yeah, so it's a dinner.
And then there's five of us
who are just doing brief 10 minute talks
as far, you know, whatever we're perfected in.
And then after that, you literally go across the table
like you're dating, but instead it's networking.
And then there's a timer and then you shift
and you go to the next person.
And then there's a timer and you shift
and you go to the next person.
of exposure, which is nice. Absolutely, absolutely. And people are going to be coming up to talk to
you and you're collecting cards and you're going to get to build relationship and follow up and
all of that. So yeah, I'm excited. I love it. I love it. Okay. Um, any, any other areas that we
want to work on? Um, before I give you anything, what, what else? Um, uh, I'd love to hear from,
uh, joy and, and, and actually from you too, Marisa, um, what did you guys glean
from the partner with God series? Um, what, what really jumped out with the masterclass on,
on Tuesday with you both? I haven't watched it cause I've been in classes. So I, it's on my,
list to watch the replay. Okay. Awesome. Yeah. I did not watch, I did not was not in Tuesday,
but, um, yeah, it's been a rough week. So, okay. Okay. Puppy, by the way, cute puppy.
This is my employee. Her name is Luna. She actually works with our dementia patients,
but she's a little mad at me cause we're not going to work right now. So bless her
new work. So she goes to meetings too. I love it. I love it. So, uh, Marisa and joy,
listen to the replay. I really went through the areas of business that we are often disconnected
from the vine from God in those parts of our business. I will do it after this call. It's
on my calendar to do. I can't wait to hear your feedback. Can't wait. It was really,
it was very powerful. You had a lot of, um, you know, you're very, you're, you're so clear on
the steps and things like that and explanations. So it was good. Thank you. Was there one thing
above others that, that landed for you? Well, I, you know, for all of us, uh, you're, you're, um,
example, I guess, is a word to, of, of how to do that. How to move on into the,
the sales and it's, you know, this value and this,
this gift and, and, uh, it's, it's, it, you do it so beautifully and smoothly and it's,
and it was good to see you got some traction out of it. Thank you. Yeah. You know, it was really
in just one week with no, I didn't do any advertising or funnels or anything. We got 40
registrations for that. So, um, that was, that was really a blessing. And now of course the
fortune is in the followup, right? True for all you guys, what I always teach you. Okay. Um, so
I'll go over one thing since you haven't, we can't go too deep cause you haven't watched it yet. Um,
but we'll, we'll continue the conversation. Um, but let's, uh, let me make sure, uh, Joy,
you had a rough week. Is there anything, um, I can come alongside you or be praying or doing
anything? You know, I mean, to be honest, I, I, I say rough just because it's been a lot,
but it was a little overwhelming Renee sick. So I've been kind of doing provider meetings and
such. So, um, but no, everything went really well. I, you know, we had a great provider meeting last
it was a little smaller, but I got a lot of buy-in and a lot of people that are really
positive about the upcoming year. Um, today I have to go over contract negotiations, you know,
that situation. So that's today. I was wondering if that's why you had a rough week, but it hasn't
happened yet. Okay. No, I, I really feel like I walk in my truth and I feel like God guides me
and I feel like it will, it'll end up the way it needs to be. So I have faith in that. I,
I feel like it's already done. I'm just doing the motions at this point. Um, but you know,
I just, I feel like right now we're kind of at a restart in the business on certain levels and
that's where like my, my stresses. Um, so that's, that's just kind of, you know, I mean, pray that
I get guided in the right, the right directions for that. Cause it's just, I think we have a lot
of solid foundations. We're finishing setting those, but you know, now it's a matter of,
you know, getting the right people in the right places and not jumping ahead. And I think that's
been a big holdout. So yes, yes. I love that. I love that. Um, good, good. I'm, I'm here to
be with you guys in this process. So on, on all levels on that. Um, okay. Let's, uh, let's just
talk about one of the concepts I shared unless I do either. Charlotte, do you have anything you
want worked on? I mean, office hours is always about you first. So anything I will, um, I got
my, I have an Airbnb in my master suite and I got a mini split and air conditioning unit in there.
Now this week for my new tenants coming in today, they're going to be.
for six weeks. And so I've had all summer long $550, $60 light bills because they kept it at
$65 and it was a hole downstairs and we were free. I was freezing over the rest of it.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, so it's been over a year now and I had the, I got that done. And
I have, 501 Samuels is a place I'm going to live. So I know this. It's, I've known it for a long,
since 2011 or 12 when I first saw that place. It's beautiful overlooking the Trinity River
in downtown Fort Worth. And in 2021, I got to go in and see unit 410, which is the southwest corner.
That's the only side of the building I want. And so, and my, my friend's a realtor. She called me
last night and she said, 510 is now available for open house this weekend. And so I've been,
I'm just looking at this, you know, visual where I know I'm going to live. I just know, I, no doubt.
I love it. I love that.
Send me pictures.
It's about a million. It's the, you know, it's four bedrooms, five baths.
On, it's bigger than my two-story house, 3,000, over 3,200 square feet, I think. But
anyway, it's fun. It's stunning. I'll send you the listing.
Yeah.
Wow. There's so many.
So I would, I would like it, you know, I'd like it now, but
the, the, the income isn't quite there yet. My million hasn't, it, it's manifesting,
but it isn't quite in the bank yet. So.
Yes. Well, when you go, instead of ruling it out, just keep asking the question, what's possible?
What else is possible?
I'm not ruling any of that out. In fact, every place that I have lived since,
I guess since, when I, anyway, the last several places I have totally manifested
with this same realtor. It's been, it's always magical.
You know, they, you know, Oh no, somebody has already put money down on that,
that house. And I'm like, they call the next day and go, well, she decided not to take it.
Wow.
That's because I'm in favor. And she said, well, that's what Mary Margaret said about you too.
Oh, I'm excited. I'm excited.
Yeah. So those are fun. Those are kind of fun things. And the procrastination
conversation you were just having was a conversation I was having with myself
just before this call. So why am I, why am I resisting doing what I need to do and want to do?
What is going on? Why am I procrastinating and not really coming to the answer yet, but.
Well, let me encourage you to change.
Look at that alignment for today.
Let me, let me, everything's meant to be this way. Let me encourage you to change the question.
So when we ask the why question, why am I procrastinating? Your brain has only one
place to go, which is into the past and regurgitate what's already happened.
And so the answer is, it's just a, it's a loop that you get stuck in. So you won't
get an answer from that usually. And so a higher level question.
What is it costing me to be procrastinating?
Well, that puts the fire under your butt, but even more, yeah. You know,
what's it costing me in all those areas that puts the fire under your butt, but
even more so the inspiration and the purpose. And so instead of why am I procrastinating?
A higher level question are how can I break through procrastination today?
More specifically, what are three steps I could take today to break through
my stuck places in procrastination, right? What's, what's the single most important action
I could take today to get breakthrough in my procrastination? I wouldn't even use the word
my, cause then you're claiming it in the procrastination. You don't want to claim
my disease, my procrastination. So rephrase that. Those of you listening to the recording,
don't use the word my. And so when we move from why is this happening, which is a stuck place to
how can I, and then you can even dream a little, which you're good at. What's possible?
What would be possible living today without procrastination?
And then you can even tap into the feeling tonality. What would it feel like?
to go an entire day with no procrastination.
And if that's a good feeling, land in that, and stay there,
and just experience it, and visualize it, right?
So these are exercises.
And then you can even begin to move
as you do this day after day and break free.
You move into an identity, almost.
So what's the opposite of procrastination?
I'm on purpose doing what I love
and executing it with grace and ease.
So now, how do I stand if I'm on purpose
and executing what I need to accomplish with grace and ease?
How do I dress if I'm on purpose
and executing with grace and ease?
Do you feel the difference?
And so we're shifting from this contracted,
which is not a God state, this contracted,
I'm a procrastinator, I'm stuck in this,
I can't break out of it, I'm going to think about it,
meditate on it, ask myself why, look at it, keep reviewing,
beat myself, it's a contracted state, to a how can I,
what's possible, what would that feel like, how would I dress,
how would I talk, where would I go, what would my smile,
and you're moving into an expanded place
that God wants you to be in
because he's all about you going glory to glory,
he's all about his presence expanding you.
Does that make sense?
Tell me what feedback, what comes up for you.
I just, I think, the unfinished business that I just,
sometimes it's like, if I just get this done,
when I get this done, then I can do,
then I can be, you know, out there.
So the unfinished business.
That's a putting off your happiness,
putting off your life model that's most common in the world.
Once I, and we do this all our life, once I graduate,
then I can get a job and be happy.
Now, once I get married, then I can, you know,
be happy and move forward.
Once I get a house, then I'll be happy
and then I can move forward.
Once I have my kids, then I can be well.
Once my kids are grown and gone, once I retire,
once I, right, and we just put off our whole life that way.
So instead of that, right here, right now, where I am,
what's the single most important action I can take today
that's most in alignment with who God's calling me to be
and the dreams he's put in my heart?
What's the important action I can take today?
So what I see happening, Charla, and you're not alone,
it's very, very common, is we get ourselves
in these like viral backwards loops,
these contracted where we're just keeping ourself
doing the same thing and saying the same thing
and repeating, like I said on the call Tuesday,
we don't live 70 years, we live the same year 70 times.
Is that resonating with you guys?
Does that make sense?
I'd love that.
It does, although I do, I am very, I'm at peace.
I mean, I don't, I'm not stressed
about not doing this stuff for some reason anymore.
Yes.
It's like, I mean, I'm at peace,
I'm enjoying doing what I'm doing.
I'm just, but until there's a, you know, it's like,
sheesh, I should, here have been three hours
and I haven't, I never haven't even posted my show yet,
you know, or whatever.
It's like things that need to be done.
There's a higher level.
And so you've accomplished a lot.
You've been in personal development 20, 30 years.
I mean, you too, just like Joy,
you're certified in, you know, a bunch of places.
And so it's not that you guys don't know the stuff
and you're already ahead of the crowd, all three of you.
And so yes, you've learned to walk in peace and joy.
And yes, you're doing things.
Yes, you've accomplished a lot.
Absolutely.
Look at the books behind you.
Look at your show.
Yes, absolutely.
And what can we do now to be the fullest expression
of who God created us to be now?
Not relying on what I've been doing wrong
and getting stuck in that,
nor relying in what I've done right
and getting stuck in that.
But now going forward,
what's possible to live the highest version?
of who God's calling me to be today.
See, we tend to rest in our past
because that's our security.
It's what we know.
It's familiar.
The brain loves familiar.
So we rest either in our stuckness because it's familiar
or we rest in our past successes because it's familiar,
but neither of those are here right now
expanding you into the fullness of this moment.
Does that make sense?
It's interesting that you say that word familiar.
We just had this on another group of mine
and someone said it stands for fam liar.
And I'd never heard that before.
Yeah, that familiar stands for fam liar.
And when I hear Charla speak,
it sounds like it's coming from a shame based.
That should, you know,
I always tell people don't shit on yourself.
Yep.
And what story, that's what I help ask clients.
What story do you have to give up
to be where you want to be?
What story do you have to let go of?
Yes.
Love, love, love it.
Joy, you want to say anything about all that?
I love don't shit on yourself.
That was like the best moment of my life right there.
I love that.
I know we spend so much time shitting on ourselves for sure.
Yeah, shitting is shame based.
I love that.
But I just personally, I mean, me,
I do what I call reality checks.
I mean, that's my practice because,
well, I don't know, it works for me.
I can't really tell you it's the best thing.
I just know it works for me.
So like I do daily, weekly, monthly reality checks.
Like basically where am I at?
What am I not happy with?
What can I do?
And then I like ask myself for me,
it's what would, what,
who would I be if I was making myself a God proud
in whatever bugs me.
And then like, and then I go with fake it till you make it.
What are the next steps to make it happen?
So, you know, I really, I'm a fan of fake it till you make it
and so I just, you know, what are the next steps?
What would I have to fake to believe the reality was there?
And eventually the reality shows up.
I just don't know how to be honest with you.
It's magic.
But you know, I just, that's my personal thing.
So for me, like personally, I have this thing of like,
I don't feel bad about the things I don't get done.
Cause obviously that wasn't the reason.
There was a reason they weren't done.
I don't really care, you know, and I'm like you,
I mean, Charlie, I like to be honest with you.
I don't feel bad if I needed rest today,
maybe that's what I needed today.
But if I kind of do a daily check,
am I really happy with what the day is going?
Then maybe that's what I needed.
And if I'm not, then I know that I'm lying to myself.
So it's a reality check for me.
Like, am I, and I'm miserable as my stomach hurt
cause I just ate a half a bag of Mike and Ike's,
which does happen.
So, you know, then I know that I need to not buy Mike and Ike's
like, you know what I mean?
Like, I know the answer.
I just got to check in.
But if I'm happy with the way the day went,
then maybe that's what I needed.
And I don't always know the right answer.
So that's, I always feel like,
I love the don't shit on yourself
because I used to live in the shit, you know,
I should have been more productive.
I should have gotten more done.
And the fact is sometimes I really need sleep.
Yeah.
It's good.
Yes, it's good.
It's good.
And of course,
when we went through the nine areas of business
in Partner of God, you know,
that rest and renew is one of those
putting in a Sabbath rest, right?
So that has to be part of it.
So in the Prosper Daily Planner,
which I think most of you have,
but you can get on Amazon,
those of you watching and recording,
there is, it's nice.
Here's a blank page.
It's got the mix of,
it's got in the morning,
and these are just quick checkoffs
of the daily spiritual practice, right?
And it can be one minute, 10 minutes, five,
don't worry about the time,
it's doing it, right?
And then it's got your declarations,
which is I will,
meaning what am I absolutely committed to doing today?
And so having those declarations, Charlotte,
that what am I absolutely committed to doing today?
And it's so important
because it's what's going to advance me.
And if you, even if you only do one of those,
it's not a shooting on yourself.
It's, you know,
this is the thing that's going to advance me
into what I truly, truly desire, right?
And so you've got, you know,
breaking it into 20 minute chunks,
and you've got, you know,
must do, delegate, delay.
Then there is an accountability.
I like you said, a reality check.
And on the bottom, when it comes to business,
very few people have a reality check.
If I ask this for most people in their business,
they have no clue.
How many leads today?
How many calls today?
How many sales today, right?
What was your income that came in today?
What were the expenses?
Like, can we just look at this as a business
and say, how did we do today, right?
And, you know, we can't do the ostrich for this one.
And of course, one of the nine things,
I talked about the profit first and how we outline this,
so we have profit right away.
You've got your schedule, you've got your follow-up,
but there is an evening one that I really love
that we added in this year's edition,
so that exactly we can look back in the evening
and what were three wins?
Many, many women never stop
to congratulate themselves on their wins.
They're so busy going to the next thing,
the next thing, the next thing,
they never stop and say, wow, I did a lot.
Wow, that was a big, I took a big risk or wow.
So the wins, and then there's a place
for the lessons and the insights
because everything has a beautiful lesson and insight.
If you're not learning from every day,
if you're not gleaning a lesson from every experience
and an insight from every experience,
you're not growing, you're stagnant.
And so taking time at night to say,
you know, with everything that happened today,
like you said, am I happy with it?
Joy, great, that's probably some wins.
Why am I happy?
Wow, congratulations, I did this and this.
Thank you, God, for blessing me with this and this, okay?
And then am I not happy with it, right?
Well, what was the lesson?
Did I let fear take over?
Did I not manage my time?
Did I not have a system?
Am I trying to do too much?
Was I overambitious what I can do in an hour?
That's insight, that every day we're growing.
We're taking a real, like you said, a reality check.
We're taking a real look at ourselves.
So what was the lessons?
What was the insights?
And then instead of shooting on ourselves
or shooting on others or being a victim,
who do I need to forgive, bless and release?
And it might be yourself.
It might be someone else that wronged you today
or took advantage or did whatever, right?
Each night being clear with that, I forgive you, right?
Could be yourself, could be someone else.
I forgive you and I bless you, right?
Because the scripture tells us to bless those
that abuse us, bless those, you know,
that curse us, bless those.
There's a divine reversal that we're putting in place
when we bless them and then release them.
Cut the energetic cord.
I release you, I release you to the Lord.
I release you to go your way.
And I am no longer having this cord.
You can literally cut the energetic cord
that's keeping you tied to them.
So this lets you go to sleep every night free, right?
And then you've got reminders for tomorrow.
And I think it was Charlie, you gave this to me,
a reminder of today, what I wore.
So you can go back.
I still haven't used this, I need to.
So I probably, you guys can forgive me,
I probably wear the same thing.
And then, you know, your clothes are laid out for tomorrow.
So in here, you've got your calendar,
you've got your follow-up, you've got your notes,
you've got your tracking, you've got your delegation,
you've got what you're committed to doing today
broken into 20 minute chunks.
You're reviewing your mission, your mark, your method,
which is your mission is how you serve.
Your mark is the goal, your method is the plan.
You've got your intention, your word for the year,
your gratitude, like everything is in these two pages
to have marvelous, marvelous days.
And yes, you're gonna miss days.
I miss days, but if you're getting the majority of them,
you're getting a lot of wins and a lot of success.
Well, and sometimes it's just letting go
of the past version of ourself, you know,
that is still hanging on.
That's what I found a lot of talk with some of the women
and friends I'm talking to lately.
It's like, we have to let go of that.
We've been talking about it in here, Brenda,
you know, the new pouring into the new wine skins,
but letting go of that past version of ourselves
that just is lingering and wants to like,
goodbye, I send you away with love and blessings.
Thank you, but you're no longer needed.
Love it.
I have to tell you, Brenda, I'm sorry.
I said I have to tell you,
I'm actually buying one of these books for my husband
because I have found, and now I kind of have a similar,
but it's nice that it's organized,
but it's so funny because he has ADHD
and it's very, very hard to focus.
And one of the things I love is the follow-up
because I'm a end of the day,
like reel it all together person.
So I can build my to-do list for tomorrow.
Yeah.
And so I was like, I love that this book can be used
in so many varieties of ways.
Always.
Yeah.
You know, I've used this personally
for I don't even know how many decades
and all the clients that I've used it with,
when they do it, they have success and when they don't.
And what's really funny is I went to.
networking event. And they weren't even my clients. And I
didn't even know they knew about that. And they started talking
the subject at the table was around procrastination, or not
getting things done, or not being organized or something.
And then one of them said, Have you used the prosper daily
planner? And then I mean, I didn't even know they were using
it. And the next one I got on Amazon or whatever. And then the
next one said, Yes. And every time I use that I have success.
And when I don't, I don't. And another one went on it. Like
there was like three people at the table that were using it.
Right. And so what I know, it's, it's, you know, it's been out,
it keeps getting better. But it's for the past decade, you
know, everybody that uses this, it's it completely puts your day
in alignment. And it's so easy. Nothing's hard. And it's all in
one place. It's so easy. And so and if you guys ever find
something that's missing, tell me, like I said, I'm open to
feedback each year, it gets better. I mean, Charla, when she
said, Hey, what did I wear? Because a lot of times we don't
remember those of us that work from home, we don't even
remember what we wore, right? If I wear the same thing all the
time, especially when we're on zoom every day, or like she's
doing podcasts every day, like, did I wear the same thing, you
know, and then you get Facebook that reminds you and you're
like, dang, I wore that twice or whatever, you know, which I'm
okay with it. I don't I don't worry about it too much. But it
is, you know, little things like that, that you guys think about,
I'm always open to feedback. But you know, these two tools, the
total soul prosperity, really implementing the prosper system.
And, and then having, you know, being able to have a system to
organize your time. So if you remember, as we wrap this up,
what we started talking about in the partner with God in
business, and I'm going to share my screen for a second, I'm just
going to share a Google Doc just to kind of talk about. One of
the things that we talked about is, let's see if I could move
things out of the way, okay, is looking at God just downloaded
this to me about when he said, apart from me, you can do
nothing that we have to be connected to the vine. And too
many faith based founders and entrepreneurs, they've got faith
in the morning, okay, they're doing their morning spiritual
practice, they're building their business, totally secular,
there's no God in it. And God started saying, when we're
disconnected, these are the nine areas that it spills out into.
And they each have a, they have a perspective. So we really went
through this, um, they have a perspective of how we how we
view them. So for example, we talked about work, the
difference between work just being a chore or a way to make
money, and the biblical word for work, which is abo da, which is
the same word for worship and for serve. And so there's a
perspective and there's a system how we view God. Okay, and then
let's start looking how we view ourself in business and our
identity, how we view our clients, right? So do we view
them as our electricity bill? Do we view them as leads? Do they
do we view them as sons and daughters of the Most High? How
do we view our interaction with them? How do we view money? Okay,
how do we view sales and service? How do we view our team
now I went, you know, talks about this quite a bit in the
masterclass, how we view time, how we view profit. And so you
can go through this and just do a quick audit that number one,
meaning it feels heavy, it's unclear, I don't have it as a
system, I don't have God integrated, I'm disconnected, or
five, meaning I'm totally connected to God, it's light,
it's clear. So, you know, how would I rate work from one to
five? And my relationship with God and my relationship with
myself, my identity, and my clients, my money, my sales and
my team, my time, my profit, and look at the two that are the
lowest meaning they're the most disconnected from God. Like
God's not anywhere in my sales, or God's not anywhere in the
way, you know, I'm what I'm doing with my profit, I don't
even think about profit, or I don't have a plan for profit, or
those were my two lowest Brenda, I literally was sitting here
doing it and my sales and my profit were the two lowest on these. Yeah and let me tell you
this is not something you're going to solve with chat gpt and this is the reason that I created
the prosper the total soul prosperity 90 day reset okay this is going to be the greatest
transformation in your business it's going to be from being a secular business that's got a
faith-based founder with a secular business right and a faith-based founder that is
building a god-governed god integrated faith integrated with systems in each one of these
things that are done biblically and so this is what we're doing over 90 days okay and I offered
a bonus and so if you didn't catch this in the replay or anything anyone that joins first of all
it's it's more than a ten thousand dollar program and the price is going up next year okay I offered
it for 39.97 or break it into three payments okay and that includes the power hour it includes
office hours but it includes the coaching all the score cards all the system me mentoring you to
implement all of this that's where coaching comes in where there's accountability there's
implementation to make this happen right and um I offered for people that register right now
mostly like in this week or so that I'm working with them they're going to get a bonus all the
rest of November and all of December meaning when everybody else is trying to catch up in January
these systems are going to be in place so not only are you starting to get clients like you're
to get marisa and so on not only but it's it's systematic what happens with those and so there's
a system and there is a scorecard and there's so as you go through it there's a there's a belief
shift there's a diagnostic there's an action there's a metric there's a proof for each of
these areas and we're going to go deep we're going to dive deep into each one of these areas
so like when you're talking about uh what did you say sales and profit is that what you said
so um powerful of the pipelines you're going to get taught exactly the pipelines and the metrics
to have in place to do godly sales right and peaceful sales and and continuous sales that
it's not come and go and hit and miss and then profit is such a big one because if you were
raised like I was raised um first of all you constantly keep reinvesting in your business
and there's this magical thinking that I was raised with and that I built I wish I would
have known this when I built my first seven figure company it's amazing I was talking to
somebody yesterday a new client that'll be coming in and she says I keep doubling my sales she's
like only two or three years doubling you know doubling my revenue I made 50k the first year
I made 100k this year but my profits are like dwindling my expenses are going up and I'm making
less and less and on the third year it looks like I'm going to make even less even though my revenue
went up there's not a system for profit and so there needs to be profit allocation that you make
money profit week one week one there because what happens is the the money comes in and you have a
plan a certain day a week and you allocate so your client you know when they pay you or you know when
comes in from whatever in your business and then you know the percentages this much goes to operating
expenses so you're only spending that in your business if it's not an operating expense you
can't afford it in your business this goes into the founders right so that you're getting paid
because most founders don't pay themselves they just put it all in the business and they're
into profit right and it might start with only like one percent five percent but every week you
see your profit growing it's incredible right and there's a tax account so I walk you into how to
organize and you know the percentages so it's the quickest it takes three minutes boom diddy boom
diddy boom the boom goes in all the accounts then you don't even see some of these accounts
and then your your profit account you need to um you're required to spend at least half of it
every quarter doing something why are you in business right to take a vacation to do that
thing right and you can you can put the other half into if you want paying off debt or security or
or savings or anything you want, but at least half of it
you have to spend.
So there's a reward every quarter.
You're going on vacation or you're buying that wardrobe
or whatever it is that you have been wanting to do.
You get the car.
And you always can make really sound business decisions
within that operating expense.
And you're always, that's another thing is I get people
that are really running some shady that their personal life
and their business life is all intermingled.
And the government does not really, it frowns upon that.
If you get called to get audited,
you're gonna have quite the headache.
And so this allows you to separate
because your margin for you as the founder,
you pull that out and put it in your personal account
and you know how much that you're getting
and you're building your bills on that.
And you're not worried that you're taken from your business.
That's your portion.
Does that make sense?
So we'll get over the exact statistic percentage.
We'll have the store scorecard.
So you're gonna know how to do all of these things.
So again, we're gonna be having the heaven.
We're praying the sin with you.
We're breaking through the spiritual and the emotional
and the mental things, keeping you stuck.
We're getting you clear on your purpose and the earth
that there's really solid systems,
how you run your business.
And so now business becomes so easy
and you know what the ROI is
and you know if you can hire a team
and you are holding the team accountable
and you like, it's very specific.
Does that make sense?
Yep.
And I gotta go, it's 10 o'clock and I've got a call.
Lots of love.
