Welcome, welcome, welcome to Office Hours.
This is part of the Prosper Leader membership.
It's just included.
It's a time that I make myself available to work on what matters for you, for your business,
right?
We can go in a lot of directions.
I've been in business more than three decades.
I won't tell you how much more.
It will make me older and older, but I have been in business for a very long time.
And so whatever we want to talk about, if it's marketing, if it's strategy, if it's
lead generation, if it's speaking, coaching, using technology, all of those things, okay?
So I'm here to talk to you.
Most of you that are listening live right now, and maybe those of you that will be listening
to the replay afterwards, I know you tell me you can't make it, but you love listening
to the replay.
I'm glad that you're here even on the replay.
Welcome.
This 12th week started last week.
We started the 12-week immersion called From Pressure to Partnership.
I believe this is going to be one of the hugest shifts in your life, in your business, in
your relationships.
It's so strong.
It may go on to even be a signature piece for me because the transformation is so great.
So we had day two right before this call.
So many of you, this is your second call.
Thank you for sticking around for two hours, right?
If you're listening to this office hours, I want you to know there's a foundation that's
been laid.
It started yesterday with the Power Hour, which I do every Wednesday at 8 a.m., where
we really went into, we do a weekly promise and we pray and we get a biblical principle
and we really went into Ephesians 3, 16 to 19.
And it's very encouraging.
And it's really a shift, a biblical shift on Wednesday.
And then this morning, we went deeper in what that looks like in business to allow our external
conditions to create our internal reality, to shape our internal reality.
It's backwards.
It's called an external locus of control.
And people that have an external locus of control are, you know, just as far as like
when I studied to be a therapist, did my master's work, an external locus of control.
That's the highest rate of depression, suicide, anxiety, et cetera, et cetera.
So because we're completely out of control because the external is always changing.
So we really have no control.
If we're basing it on the external, we have no control.
And that's enormous pressure.
So in the hour before this, we looked at a different way of doing it.
Let's take that deeper into building your business.
And then let's apply it to some of the questions that you've asked, because I think they're
all tied together.
So pressure based action, taking action based on pressure, which is based on fear, which
is based on a desire to fix, to control, to change conditions.
Pressure based action looks like reacting emotionally.
It's like panic posting, right?
Forcing outcomes.
There's a lot of inconsistency.
I go all at it and then I like disappear, right?
I do lots of consuming and very little creating.
I am making my decisions from a place of urgency, right?
I'm comparing.
There are a lot of comparison in the pressure model.
I'm overthinking, I'm overworking, I'm not resting.
Not in my mind, not in my body, I'm not resting.
So we already talked about awareness is the first step to transformation.
So the first thing is to get awareness.
Am I operating from fear or faith?
Am I operating from pressure, which we said is a red light indicator when you feel pressure
that you're allowing outward conditions, your bank account, your number of clients, your
client load.
whatever, to determine your inner peace.
And that translates, the red light is I feel pressure.
I feel anxious, I'm in my sympathetic nervous system.
Partnership, vine, branch, union,
understanding Christ in me, the hope of glory,
understanding I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Partnership action looks like giving my mornings to God.
And being still and knowing that he is God.
It looks like listening.
It looks like discernment.
It looks like being led by the Holy Spirit.
And I've shared many times my dance examples,
which is the most vivid examples
because dance has a leader and a follower.
And in life, I've been a leader most of my life.
And so I haven't been a follower so much.
In dance, I had to learn to be a follower,
which taught me about being led by the Holy Spirit,
about following the Holy Spirit,
and about what I'm teaching you with partnership.
So when I'm not in that space, I'm overthinking.
What's the next step?
What was that pattern?
What's he gonna do next?
My body is tense.
I'm anticipating.
I'm going right when actually he planned on going left.
My arms are tense.
There's almost a sumo wrestling
instead of being led graciously around the floor.
And the same thing happens in business.
There's an ease and a grace in business
that when we're coming from partnership,
we're being led by the Holy Spirit.
And so we're more with discernment.
We're more with creativity and clarity
and online, we're in more relational connection.
And we have a place of calm action,
a place of courage is simplicity.
We don't feel we have to do all things.
We don't feel we have to be in all places.
We're not panic building, right?
We have a level of focus and we have sustainable action.
So the first thing in your business is just to back up
and have a sense of God's leading.
Often that is getting back to the why
you're doing what you're doing.
Not only the why personally,
because I wanna feed my family,
because I wanna be able to travel,
because I want freedom.
That's part of it.
But the why you fell in love with your product or service,
why you believe in it so much.
You see, coaching changed my life.
It continues to change my life.
And it continues to change my client's life.
So I believe in coaching.
It's more mentoring what I do, less coaching.
I'm less of a therapist model.
I'm much more of a mentor,
taking my 30 plus years of business and mentoring.
So it's remembering why, okay?
That's first.
Now, questions came up before we started
and they were very similar.
And that tends to happen.
God tends to bring clusters of people,
which this week the cluster
was around people struggling financially, right?
And clusters of questions and comments.
So this is not accident.
I noticed that God tends to bring things in clusters
so that what needs to be spoken today
will address those clusters.
So the questions that were asked
are actually very similar in a lot of ways.
So one has to do with the offer
and that you're scared to ask the full price
and you want to just give it away.
And you often will just give it away, okay?
And so Christine had that, Colette had that.
I want to just help everyone, right?
And so we want to start with that
and then we'll move to the next one,
which was around clarity and getting people to respond.
So let's talk first.
It's very important that you determine a couple things.
One is who or what is your source?
Who or what is your source?
I believe there's one source, biblically, and that's God, the creator of heaven and earth.
I believe there's many resources.
One source, many resources.
Jesus demonstrated that.
He could get a gold coin from a fish's mouth.
He could borrow a donkey from a neighbor.
Moses, he could get water from a rock.
In Egypt, they could get manna from heaven.
There's a zillion ways and channels that resources can come to you if you're open when God is the source.
And that's why you notice it always points back to him.
When you look at scriptures, like Philippians 4, that says,
My God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not lack.
Right.
So when we're clear on the source, it moves us from pressure to partnership.
Because we believe God is good and he's a good, good father, and it's up to him to supply my needs.
My job is to seek first the kingdom and its righteousness.
And all these things will be added.
He said, I've got lilies in my backyard right now.
He said, consider the lilies of the field.
They're here today and they're gone tomorrow.
And yet not even Solomon in all his glory was ordained like one of these.
He said, consider the birds.
They neither soar nor reap.
Jesus was trying to say, and he said, look, the pagans pray for needs.
Jesus made it really clear in that sermon in the mouth.
The pagans are praying, meet my needs.
That's not a biblical prayer.
That's a pagan prayer.
He said, your father already knows you need these things.
So our prayer is one of gratitude.
Thank you.
You're a good, good father.
You supply all my needs.
You are my shepherd.
I shall not lack.
And now the question becomes, where am I coming from?
If I'm coming from lack and pressure, because I'm relying on outward conditions.
And I think my clients and my customers and my online sales are my source.
I'm going to be in pressure and it's going to come across.
And I'm going to repel because I'm going to need.
You ever noticed, like, let's just take dating.
A woman that doesn't need a man and she's just confident and she's just
filled with just joy and the love of God.
Men come to her like flies.
A woman that's needy.
I got to get a boyfriend.
They run.
They go direction.
So, yeah, we do.
If we're coming from need, Christine, it's a good awareness.
There's no judgment.
Your awareness today is what's going to allow you to transform.
To stop doing these old things.
Okay.
So you take your awareness and you use your God given ability to choose,
to choose differently.
So I choose from now on to see God as my source,
to speak God as my source, to expect God to be my source.
So now I'm not coming from when I approach.
And this applies also to, uh,
I think it was Colette that said when they're speaking online and they're
not hearing,
there was an energy that's transmitted in your words.
Words have frequency. That's a whole nother science. Okay.
There was an energy that's coming out in your words.
One is need and desperation and fear.
And it's repelling.
I've got to get clients, get customers.
You need to come to me now.
And one is lavish generosity that I have all.
In fact, one of my favorite coaches has a practice first thing in the
morning.
To make a decision that they won't leave the door.
Won't go, go out to start doing business.
Until he is not coming from a place of needing.
Why?
Jesus said, I have all.
I have all if I have God in me, I have all.
If I have Christ in me, I have all.
If I am a daughter of the most high God, I.
have all, no matter what my bank account shows or my health report shows, I've got to start on the
inside first. I have all, so I don't need. Now I can come and activate the flow, okay, by giving.
Now, that does not mean, so that's the first step is, where am I coming from? If you're making a
note to grow your sales, where am I coming from, okay? Next is, who am I showing up as?
Because so often, women overgive, like what you're talking about, Christine,
because of lack of self-worth. If I give, you'll love me. If I give, you'll like me. If I give,
you'll join me. If I give, okay, that's manipulation. It's a form of witchcraft, really.
Okay, I must give from my overflow. I must give because Christ first gave to me.
So, I have been an over-giver in the past. I understand. I have come in my past as a
codependent to alcoholic parents, all of that. I understand over-giving, okay,
and I've had to learn, even when it appears that somebody has no money, stop giving everything for
free because I'm not raising them up. I'm not believing in their creativity and their ability
to earn money. Stop giving everything for free. I might do a give as you choose to get you on your
feet. I don't care if you pay me $5. It's not about me making the money or you pay me $99
for a Prosper Leader membership. I know for your sake, you must activate to receive,
and I know for my sake, I must honor that. So, let's talk about when we're undercharging,
when we're over-giving. Is it because we want to be accepted, or is it because we feel so full,
and God has blessed us, and he's telling me I'm being led by the Spirit, and he's telling me
to give. Where is that coming from when I don't know how to make a solid offer? Now,
that there's two parts to that offer, and then I'm going to let you answer. One part is my own
identity, how I feel about myself. Am I giving from low self-worth, and I want to be liked or
loved, and I'm over-giving? The other has to do with faith and belief in what I'm offering,
be it coaching or a physical product. So, sometimes we've got imposter syndrome,
and we've got coaches that don't want to charge because they think that maybe they're not good
coaches, or we've got people that aren't sure about the product or whatever. That's a different
issue. I will take a coach. I will have them write on a piece of paper the transformation people
experience as a result of working with you or as a result of taking that product so that I
fill up my belief pot because most of the women that I have do that. They look at that piece of
paper, and they're like, dang, I'm giving so much value. Of course, like when I charge you $99,
I could charge $10,000 for this. It'd be a different audience, but I absolutely, the value
of what I'm doing in the transformation. So, I know, like I know. Are you kidding me? Access to my entire
membership vault, many courses that I sold for $1,000. Are you kidding me working on your business
like this? Are you kidding me showing up twice a week and teaching my $99? It's like a joke for
my skill set and my level, right? But I'm not undercharging because I want you to like me, or I
don't believe in myself, or I don't believe in the product. I'm setting a value that someone is trying
to put their feet in and is really doesn't know where the next thing's going to come from that
they can get help here. Obviously, you want to build a five, a six, a seven-figure business.
We need to be in a higher-end coaching. You're going to spend four, five, ten,
$15,000 with me. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because it's where I'm coming from.
I don't have low self-esteem, and I don't not believe in any of my products. So, that's the
first thing I would look at.
in and Collette is where are you coming from
when you make an offer?
Now, some of you, either imposter syndrome
or over distractions and overthinking
and constantly being in a consumption
or a constant creative mode,
but you're not releasing what you're creating,
that's a different issue, okay?
So I'm being a doctor and I'm diagnosing,
you know, what is this?
Is this coming from the lungs or the heart or the stomach?
And that, you know, I got a diagnosis and then we can go
because all of those results in either not showing up
or undercharging, does that make sense?
So let's go a little deeper.
Put in the chat what that brings up for you.
What's the question now?
What does that answer
and what question does it raise even more?
So it may be also lack of clarity, okay?
What we do in a breakthrough intensive,
we've got to get clear on what you offer
and why it's irresistible and why what you do is unique.
That comes from the breakthrough intensive.
What's your USP, your unique selling proposition, right?
What you sell and why is it unique working with you?
Why do they need to join your team, buy your product,
get your coaching?
That has to do with your irresistible offer.
And that has to do with being very clear
on the problem that you solve.
These days, if you're not speaking a clear transformation,
a clear result, a clear offer.
So it always starts with clarity.
That's why I do the breakthrough intensives,
always starts with clarity.
Okay, all right, so we've got a mix.
Collette is saying it's low self-worth and it's clarity.
Okay, agreed, Christine.
Okay, so guess what?
Confidence comes from clarity.
Confidence comes from clarity, okay?
And the low self-worth increases
when you're spending time with the Lord
and you're remembering that you're a daughter
of the most high God,
that you're the temple of the Holy Spirit,
that you're loved, that there's nothing you can do
to earn his affection, that your needs will be supplied.
So you've got the spiritual side of it
and the natural side of it.
Okay, go ahead and unmute, Christine.
Okay, so there's a couple different aspects.
So yes, it is about low self-worth and clarity.
Also, I feel like I have something that I know
will benefit people that I love.
And that's why I want to give it to them
because I don't want them to think
there's an ulterior motive,
that I am trying to do something for myself with it.
Yes, I'll benefit from it,
but that's not my main reason
for wanting them to join my business.
Let me ask you a question because that right there
is a two-part before we go any further.
That right there has to do with your view of sales
and your sales conversation.
You're still operating on sales is icky.
I don't want to be a used car salesman.
I don't want them to think I'm icky and that I'm selling.
Okay, I'm wondering if someone does your hair
and they charge you for doing your hair,
are they icky because they're benefiting
because you're paying for your hair?
When you buy groceries and the clerk is serving you,
are they icky because you're paying for both the food
and they're being paid to serve you?
Is that icky?
So first thing has to do with your perception of sales.
That has to change like yesterday, okay?
Sales is service.
And guess what?
I benefit when you join Prosper Leader Membership.
Now it's low and it's very high value,
but yeah, I make $99 a month for every person that joins
at this discounted level.
I benefit when you pay me for $5,000 for 90 days to coach.
I absolutely benefit.
And I have no problem with that, why?
Because I'm giving greater value than what I'm benefiting.
But do you agree you're getting more than $99
worth of value here?
Absolutely.
Okay, I know it.
So I don't feel I'm being slimy to say Christine
and I did even in a hard.
place. I say, Christine, you need to join this. This is where you need to be in the room. I didn't
give it to you for free. You didn't know where money was going to come from. And I applaud you
that you courageously decided to invest in yourself. But that was in your best interest,
because you're going to show up and you're going to value what you did. And yeah, it served me.
Okay, what's the problem? That doesn't need to be in the conversation.
Now, what needs to be in the conversation is where we are aiming the camera. You see this
camera right here? Okay. If I'm aiming my camera at you, which I did, where are you at right now,
Christine? What do you desire? What's stopping you? What do you need? How can I support you?
The camera is aimed at you. And you felt that and you knew that. That doesn't mean I don't
charge you. That's a separate issue. We pay for what we want, all of us, everywhere, all day long.
If the camera is aimed at me, am I good enough to share this? What would they think about me?
Are they going to think that I'm really being selfish? Are they going to think I'm a slimy salesperson?
Am I doing a good sales conversation? Am I even presenting? Should I even be? Do you feel where
the camera is aimed? That's the difference. So you march on over to the Prosper Leader
Membership Vault, and you listen to successful sales conversation. And then there's an encore.
And you may need to listen two or three times. Many people do. You are going to improve your
skill set. Your craft, Christine, is sales. You're in a nutrition business. You're in a network
marketing business. I don't care. You're in a coaching business. You're in whatever. You're
actually, all of you, in a sales business. Without sales, you have no business. You're in a sales
business. So let's make peace with sales. Sales is service. Sales is not cramming down someone's
throat something they don't want or don't need. We all feel slimy then. Sales is me discovering a
need and showing you how to fill that need. Do you see the difference? Yes. So number one for you,
I need you as comfortable as the snuggliest blanket and the most delicious food you've ever
had with sales. Okay. That's going to solve every issue that you've brought up.
We're not going to operate from pressure. That's our whole morning. We've talked about it.
We're coming on the love track, not on the fear track. But now that's mindset. Now skill set.
You're going to do a good job. Sales is 90% asking questions. 10% saying, here's what I recommend.
So I know your product. And if I found out asking questions,
that they had trouble with X, Y, Z, and I would go deep. How long? What have you tried? How is
that affecting your relationship? How's that affecting your parenting? How's it affecting
your finances? How's it affecting your self-esteem? How important is it for you to change this? How
motivated are you to change? How willing are you to invest in that change? If I showed you how to
change, would you do what I say? Would you be willing to pay for what I say? And the answers
to those are yes. Here's what I recommend. Boom. Let's do it right now.
Okay. My other thing that, um, well, let me make sure you grasp that before you give me the other,
tell me what you got from that. That's basically, I need to know my worth and what I'm offering
people instead of discounting it. Um, and trying to give it away because a lot of times you also
get what you pay for. So if you don't pay for it, you don't value it.
A new percent. I mean, let me ask you, how long have you been giving stuff away?
My whole life. Okay. And how much did that
boom your business in your life financially? Did that create a huge boom? Nope. It's not working.
And you know why? Because it's not even pure giving. If it was pure giving, that you know what, Christ has
enriched me so much. He spoke to me. I'm supposed to give this to you. Christina, I've literally,
I remember one time I was at a doctor and his wife's house in Atlanta, Georgia. I was wearing,
I don't know, they were probably $500 shoes. I love these shoes. They were gorgeous. They were
comfortable. This doctor's wife kept admiring these shoes and the Holy Spirit said, give them
to her. I asked her what size she wore. It was my size. I took off my shoes and I gave them.
Wow. And I love those shoes. So when God tells you to give, you best give. Giving activates the flow.
But if we're giving because I want you to like me or I'm trying in some way to change my life,
that if I give enough, somehow you're going to give back to me. Now we've broken the whole
system. Does that make sense? Yeah. I mean, for the most part, I felt like I was
doing it from a genuine place. Giving and giving and giving. But I've given,
I know I can't out give God. And I know I am a vessel for things to flow through me
to those who need. I'm not discounting giving, but I am discounting giving in business
because we can't somehow communicate otherwise why they need the product. So,
well, maybe if I just give it to you, guess what? Then you call, did you take it? Nah.
Oh, it gave me a stomach ache. I gave it to the neighbor. Oh, I ended up not using it. I
ended up throwing it away because there was no value attached to it.
Yeah. We treasure what we pay for. Jesus said that. Okay. So, I know when someone is paying
me, guess what? They show up, they want to learn that I better get my value out of this.
Now we both win. Okay. Does that help? Definitely. You've got a broken model and
you've got awareness today. And now you have the courage to choose differently.
And you can say, you know, you don't even have to talk about it. Just know and just do it.
Yeah. It's a brand new model. I will not give unless the Holy Spirit specifically told me to
give in this situation. Otherwise, I'm going to focus on their needs and I'm going to focus
on delivering value and over-delivering value. And I am going to be paid.
Okay. Part two. What was part two?
Part two was I felt like speaking on the witchcraft side of things and sales,
I feel like attraction marketing is like manipulating people and how that's okay.
Let's talk about it.
The hook to bring them in, right? It's like a snare, a trap.
Good stuff. I'm so glad you're bringing this up. This is good stuff. Okay.
The new age, the witches, all of that have hijacked what God has said all along.
Okay. So everything again, comes back to what's the motive. That's the first thing
at all. That's all God looks at is at the heart. What was the motive?
So when we look at how life is,
and I can go so many examples. I could take a battery and positive negative pole or a magnet,
and you got a positive magnet and a negative magnet. What happens?
This is the nature. This is life. This is how God created the world. Okay.
Male and a female.
What do you think happens first?
Attraction.
Someone, and the reason all of this happens is that scripture says God gives us the desires of
our heart. So sales may be creating desire. It may be giving a reason to show up.
It was based on truth. It was based on love. It was based on scripture.
But you needed to be attracted to what I was offering to decide to pay for something.
If you weren't attracted to me or my product, you wouldn't have paid.
So the goal is not to be unattractive, which many of us do out of fear.
If I make myself unattractive enough in any way, business, life, physically, then maybe
I'll be safe.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean...
Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
Yes, ma'am.
Attraction is life.
God made attraction.
And I've never seen attraction marketing like what Jesus used.
Come all ye who are tired and weary, and I will give you rest.
Hello.
Is that not attraction marketing?
Hey, there's free food here.
Is that not attraction marketing?
Okay.
Come on.
We move based on attraction.
So let's stop that nonsense.
Let's focus on the value of what we offer.
And yes, it does need to attract.
Does that help a little bit?
Yeah.
The goal is not to be unattractive and they're still going to buy.
Someone's going to love me and marry me even if I look like crap.
So I'm going to go out looking like crap as much as I can and God's going to have to bring
me my husband and they need to accept me how I am.
Not going to brush my teeth, comb my hair, going to wear my brother's clothes.
They better darn well like it.
Okay.
Sorry.
I go salsa dancing and I blow out my hair a little bit, put a makeup on and put a little
sparklies on because it's human nature.
It's the world we live in.
Does that make sense?
Yes, ma'am, because now I'm seeing the correlation with my weight and hiding and relationship
Awareness, sister, let's give her a snap.
Let's give her a snap.
It all starts with the word and there's no judgment.
We all do this, Christine, in different levels, different ways.
Okay.
I thank you for being transparent and willing to come forward and share.
It takes courage and it's because God's ready for you to transform.
Okay.
But it's all starting with awareness.
This is either saying how we do.
One thing is how we do all things.
This is all tied together, sister.
No random Ikea parts in this journey.
Collette, what are you picking up that I'm putting down?
Bev, what are you picking up that I'm putting down?
Let's talk.
Bev, do you want to go first?
I don't mind if you go first.
Bev, what are you picking up that I'm putting down that you can apply?
She's muted.
She would be on her way to work.
She listens to us.
She's going to work.
Go ahead.
She'll jump in if she's ready.
First, I want to say to Christine, thank you for pinpointing some of the things that you
said, because sometimes because I learned at an early age, I believe just to shove everything
down.
It is hard for me to pull it out.
Sometimes I can't locate it.
I can feel it, and I kind of almost can grasp it, but I can't always.
Sometimes somebody will say something, and I'm not copying what they're saying.
It's like, oh, yes, that's exactly what I was feeling.
So I'm in Live Good, too, and everyone says get on TikTok and get on there and do videos
and do posts.
I get no responses, but I think it's because what you were saying is low self-worth, and
I want to help people, but is that really what it is, is to help people a disguise for
something else?
Am I coming from a place of fear, like you said earlier?
Everyone else is doing well, and I'm not.
Why is that something wrong with me?
Then I have to go back and look at my family situation.
I don't want to go into this very deeply because I don't want to dwell on the negative.
I try to shove everything back down.
That's why I'm writing this book, by the way, is I want to get some of it out and ask questions
to other people because it would help me, but growing up, I am one of five children.
My brothers, the oldest, are four girls, and I'm the fourth out of five children, and I
had a sister who didn't like me at an early age, and she's gone through my whole life
hating me.
tell anybody who'll listen that she hates me and one day at a just an example at a dinner table
my mother was across from me and my brother-in-law my sister's daughter was here and some other
people it's a big round table lots of people all of a sudden my sister says do you know how old she
is i'm like why why why is that important right now but uh she decided to tell the person next to
me how old i was i don't know for what reason because maybe she thought he thought i was
attractive you know and it's been several years ago and uh so she told how old i was and i just
looked at him and looked at everyone i said it looks good on me doesn't it so you know
so humor's always been the way that i handle things but there's a lot of pain underneath
and i think if if anybody can understand brenda you can because some of the things you said are
just heartbreaking and uh christine i don't know your whole backstory but you probably have a lot
of pain underneath too so i think for me going back to the hatred for my sister and all the
things that she's done behind my back and and in the open too sometimes i felt like my parents
should have done something even though she was older maybe take a stand publicly or said you
know stop it or you know they were kind of passive and nice people but sometimes i feel like they
should have said something so i've been on the defensive a lot of my life defending who i am
why i am because she says she hates me because i exist well excuse me i didn't do that god damn
that you know my mom and dad wanted me and then they had another child after me but i'm the one
she decided she hated and i think between catholic school and what was going on at home
feeling like i wasn't as good as maybe wasn't a part of the main family because i was somehow
you know not to be light talked to associated with whatever my sister said has affected me
deeply and i'd like to you know pull all that out i need a counselor myself i try to counsel myself
too and just you know let things go that's why i'm doing some writing to help me and maybe some
other people with it but i i'm glad you said what you did because you helped me put the spotlight on
some more significant problems i don't know she's jealous of me look at me my mother told
me at a young age here's the key she told me i was not attractive in that three is putting our eyes
back on the right place all of this really is about yes it's putting our eyes first of all
that god is our source okay and that christ is in me and that i am who he says i am and i can do
what he says i can do and from that standpoint when i said about leaving the house and not needing
anything it goes deeper with questions in the sense that whose approval do i think that i need
today and you give that to the lord because you don't need anyone's approval except god's
whose money do i think i need today
and again god is my source everything else is a resource
whose influence do i think i need today and it goes on and on right because now our eyes are
not on the source
they've become on the resource which is idolatry
have no god before me anything that i make my source becomes an idol
my business can be an idol my spouse can be an idol my things can be an idol
so the key is putting our focus back where it belongs on god
matthew seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all these things will be added
your father knows you have need of these things so i'm seeking first the kingdom and in that comes
comes serving one another in love and business is a form of serving it's finding a need and
filling it sales is a form of serving it's finding
being in need and filling it.
So those of you in network marketing,
you have some products that you believe in that fill a need.
And in that way, you're operating business
as a kingdom business, and it's going to work.
Coaching, it's a product.
Therapy, it's a product.
Product, products, some of you have stuff on eBay, OK?
Does all that make sense?
It's just rearranging our perception.
Most of what we've talked about, we've
got a dog that wants to walk so bad, she knows it's time.
I'm getting nosed like crazy as I'm talking,
like she's just nosing me, nosing me.
So if I ever get distracted, it's
because I'm being nosed over here.
She's adorable.
Someone wants a W-A-L-K, because she knows what time it is.
So does that help?
Do you have a sense?
Here's the thing.
I don't want you to leave.
I don't desire you to leave with just theory today.
That would be a waste of both of our time.
Theory does not transform you.
Information does not change you, OK?
When you apply it, knowledge applied becomes wisdom.
So the key started today with awareness.
Where am I coming from need?
Where am I coming from fear?
Where am I coming from lack?
Where am I operating out of pressure?
And now, what's in my hand?
What problem does it solve?
Who does it solve it for?
How do I solve it uniquely?
That's all mindset stuff.
Then we get into the skill set.
How do I have a successful?
How do I generate leads?
How do I have a successful sales conversation?
Does that make sense?
Yes.
All right.
I'm going to leave it there.
I'm glad that you took the time.
I'm excited to hear your testimonies as you apply this.
I'm going to say, go forth and multiply.
This is your season.
Go forth and multiply.
You are enough.
You have enough.
You can do this.
Thank you.
Thank you, Christine.
I appreciate your honesty.
You helped me.
I didn't want to say too much, but I wanted
to give you a fair background.
Yes.
Thank you, Christine.
You blessed us today.
So glad you decided to show up.
OK.
See you soon.
Thank you.
Bye.
