WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.760 All right, and welcome, welcome to office hours, and I created office hours as just 2 00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:15.960 my way of making myself available to support you as a prosper leader member. 3 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.640 So that means we can talk about anything or everything that you're working on in your 4 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.000 business. 5 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:31.720 And so I started to open this, I started to open this session by two ideas that have really 6 00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:36.160 shaped me over the years, okay? 7 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:41.760 And many of you know it as a question that I have asked myself, well, Linda knows me, 8 00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.720 I've asked it for like over a decade, right? 9 00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:47.720 And it's a daily question. 10 00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:57.080 And the daily question is, what's the single most important action I can take today to 11 00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:02.680 advance in the direction of my goals, dreams, and desires, okay? 12 00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:08.840 And then later, having done that for years, I read Gary Keller's book, The One Thing, 13 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.480 and I go, oh, I've been asking the one thing. 14 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:19.480 He says it a little bit differently, but he basically says, what's the one thing that 15 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:27.400 by doing it will either make all the other things unnecessary or easier? 16 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.360 In other words, what's the lever that's really going to move things, right? 17 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:41.400 And so it's this idea of summarizing to what's the next right action. 18 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:46.760 And then I think about Oprah and how she built her entire empire just asking that question 19 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.880 every day, what's the next right action? 20 00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:56.840 So when you come up on that next right action, and you team that with what we're learning 21 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:02.440 about partnering with God, because the next right action might be one that wants to kick 22 00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:04.860 you into pressure or fear. 23 00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:10.639 And so we got to stay in partnership and Papa, let's do this together, right? 24 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:16.720 What is the next right action that either your mindset is slowing you down, or you don't 25 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:23.000 have the skillset, you really don't know what to do, or you're not even clear what the next 26 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.320 right action is. 27 00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:31.440 So let's open the rooms for what's important to you. 28 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:35.040 Where are you coming up against a threshold? 29 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.240 Where are you like, I'm stuck here, I don't know what to do, or I'd love to learn how 30 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.720 to do this better, or any of those things? 31 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:53.000 What's coming up for you? 32 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.320 Are you moving forward steady every day? 33 00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:58.720 Are you working through the Prosper Daily Planner? 34 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:04.080 And are you taking actions to grow your business? 35 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.600 Now, Amanda, I know you are, because we're working through in a powerful way. 36 00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:23.160 Okay, let's see, Colette, you wanted to ask me what question I missed your question. 37 00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:26.000 I wanted to ask you my next right move. 38 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.400 But I guess that's a personal thing, but I feel like I'm stuck and I need some help with 39 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.400 that. 40 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.400 Okay. 41 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.400 Okay. 42 00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:36.360 So let's talk about it, okay? 43 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:51.640 So are you clear on your goals or vision, like the direction, because you can't take 44 00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:52.640 an action. 45 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:58.440 It's kind of like I get in the car and you go, okay, let's go, there's gas in the tank, 46 00:03:58.440 --> 00:03:59.440 let's go. 47 00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:00.440 But do we turn left? 48 00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:01.440 Do we turn right? 49 00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:02.440 Do we go straight? 50 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.240 That matters if you know which direction, where is it that you're trying to get to? 51 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:15.360 So do you have a sense of where you're trying to get? 52 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.360 I don't think so. 53 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.040 And I think that's a problem, a little bit stuck, but I have had things starting to come 54 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.040 to my mind. 55 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.120 May I tell you quickly? 56 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.560 For example, Shirley Temple, I don't know if any of you know her movies, but whenever 57 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.040 I would get sick, I mean really sick, where I had to stay in the bed a day or more than 58 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.200 one day, I'd watch Shirley Temple movies and one of the recurring themes in those movies 59 00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:40.200 is self-reliance. 60 00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:43.080 She's always saying she's self-reliant. 61 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:47.000 So that came to my mind and for me, that's a big deal. 62 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.160 Maybe it's showing me that I don't lean on God. 63 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:51.520 I don't lean on anybody. 64 00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:54.320 It's like, I got this, I can do this. 65 00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.000 And that's why I think I am sometimes physically exhausted because I have absolutely... 66 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.840 Yeah, good, good. I'm, you know, I'm, I'm glad that you shared that because, um, most 67 00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:15.120 of us have been taught to be self reliant, you know, if it's to be, it's up to me and 68 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:22.560 society rewards, you know, and, um, you know, being, uh, both of us being a little older 69 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.800 and wiser down the journey, we can look at that and say, no, actually what that does 70 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:35.120 will fry you to a crisp till there's nothing left of you, it will consume you, right? So, 71 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.440 um, those of us that are a little further down the journey know, well, that doesn't 72 00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:49.400 work out so well. So instead it's a, it's a much more that we're starting from the premise 73 00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:58.000 of God. I want to partner with you and I want to do this together. And part of that means 74 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:04.600 that we're not coming from a place of lack or separation because that feeling that you're 75 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.960 experiencing is coming from the belief. So we've got, right, I always give you guys my 76 00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:17.920 success equation, right? Mindset plus skillset plus right action equals results. We've got 77 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:24.360 to always look at all three of those things because all three on the left side, the mindset, 78 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:30.400 the skillset and the action are affecting the results. So you could be taking massive 79 00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:37.360 action from a wrong mindset and you'll get some results, but very diminished. Or you 80 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.920 could have a great mindset, but not taking any action and you're going to have very diminished 81 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:48.920 results, right? Or you could be having a mindset and a skillset, a mindset and action, but 82 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:55.200 you're lacking the skillset. Like, I don't know how to do this. Right? So a couple of 83 00:06:55.200 --> 00:07:04.800 you say, yep, I'm in the same spot. So the very first thing we have to start with, right? 84 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:13.000 Is what, what do I already know? It's like, let's just take an assessment. If you were 85 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:18.800 counseling you, if you were counseling someone, let's take an assessment. What do I have in 86 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:28.920 my tool chest? First of all, right? So I like to call that what's in your hand because that 87 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:33.880 was the number one question that would get asked in the Bible when someone was feeling 88 00:07:33.880 --> 00:07:41.880 stuck and they were feeling either lack or separation that I mentioned, right? So the 89 00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:48.000 widower that, you know, her, her sons are about to be sold in slavery. She can think 90 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.840 nothing but fear and lack. I don't have the money to pay the debt that my husband left. 91 00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:58.760 I'm in debt. I'm in debt big time and debt means I'm going to lose my most precious thing, 92 00:07:58.760 --> 00:08:04.360 which is my sons to slavery. I can't think of any more stressful situation than that. 93 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.640 It's bad enough being in debt, but if you see your kids are about to be taken out the 94 00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:13.800 door to be sold as slaves because of your debt, I can't think of anything more stressful. 95 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:22.360 Honestly, right? That's where she was when she goes to Elijah. And what did he say? He 96 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:28.360 didn't say, Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Let me help you. Let's round up. Let me get some 97 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:36.320 donations. I think, let me talk to a church. He said, what's in your hand? So you've got 98 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:49.320 to ask this question. What's in my hand? So that includes skills, education, experience, 99 00:08:49.320 --> 00:09:01.760 resources, products, businesses, things you've written. And then you can take what's in your 100 00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:09.680 hand and you tie and you combine that with what we talked about a couple of weeks ago 101 00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:16.600 about desire. What's the desires of your heart? What's the thing God's been putting in your 102 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:22.080 heart that never leaves. I really want to help people with their health. I'm really 103 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.920 passionate about, you know, writing. I'm really passionate about helping people get close 104 00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:39.360 to God. Right? So money is an exchange for products or service, right? So the more you're 105 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.280 serving or you're bringing a product that's serving, the more money is going to come. 106 00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:52.480 It's an exchange. It's service. Money is service energy. It's just a, it's just a report card. 107 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.840 Just a piece of paper. We've put so much energy around money because we've just made it a 108 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.280 about our life and our safety and our security and everything else. 109 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.000 but money is just a report card. 110 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.280 It's just a piece of paper, 111 00:10:04.280 --> 00:10:06.980 like a report card you get in university 112 00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:09.340 that says how you're doing, how you're serving. 113 00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:12.540 Okay, that's all. 114 00:10:12.540 --> 00:10:15.140 Like take the energy out of it. 115 00:10:15.140 --> 00:10:18.620 And so what's in my hand and how can I partner with God 116 00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:20.300 and use it to serve? 117 00:10:21.180 --> 00:10:24.280 And then start small, it doesn't matter. 118 00:10:24.280 --> 00:10:28.660 You know, I watched my daughter when she was, 119 00:10:28.660 --> 00:10:31.780 I don't know what she was, six, seven, eight years old, 120 00:10:31.780 --> 00:10:35.380 and she wanted a horse. 121 00:10:35.380 --> 00:10:40.380 And her dad had told her that if she saved up $300 122 00:10:40.380 --> 00:10:42.660 that he would get her a horse. 123 00:10:44.260 --> 00:10:47.860 And she looked at what was in her hands. 124 00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:50.820 She's like six, seven, eight years old, I don't remember. 125 00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:53.780 And she loved artwork. 126 00:10:53.780 --> 00:10:56.140 And I had created, you know, I homeschooled, 127 00:10:56.140 --> 00:10:58.140 there was a whole craft to all closets. 128 00:10:58.660 --> 00:11:00.180 She had access to all paints and glitters 129 00:11:00.180 --> 00:11:03.400 and everything you could imagine in the craft closet, 130 00:11:03.400 --> 00:11:06.500 all the colored construction papers and everything. 131 00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:11.500 And she decided that she would create calendars. 132 00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:16.420 So she would print out a calendar for the month, 133 00:11:16.420 --> 00:11:21.260 put it on a bigger piece of paper and decorate that paper. 134 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:24.980 And she took it with me to the grocery stores 135 00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:27.760 and she'd say, do you wanna buy a calendar? 136 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.160 And she took it to everyone she knew, 137 00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:32.480 do you wanna buy a calendar? 138 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.760 And she got that $300, right? 139 00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:40.480 You know, my son wanted a skateboard. 140 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.280 The same thing, he created a lemonade stand 141 00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:46.920 and he had to learn how to invest 142 00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:49.000 and how to build this lemonade stand. 143 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.620 So if our children can do that, 144 00:11:53.300 --> 00:11:56.860 if my kids can make $300 making calendars 145 00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:59.080 or selling lemonade, can I not? 146 00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:01.180 Really? 147 00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:03.180 So we gotta get out of our stuck mindset 148 00:12:03.180 --> 00:12:06.660 and say, what's in my hand, what do I love doing 149 00:12:06.660 --> 00:12:10.060 and how can I provide service energy? 150 00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:11.580 Now, some of you have been gifted, 151 00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:14.500 you already have a product, you already have a business, 152 00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:18.620 you already have a book, you already have a devotional. 153 00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:21.480 Now, it's like, let's get into action. 154 00:12:22.780 --> 00:12:24.620 Let's pick one and start. 155 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:27.340 As you start down the road partnering with God, 156 00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:32.040 more ideas will come and you build from that. 157 00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:35.820 When I started after my divorce, ladies, 158 00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:39.540 I didn't have a penny, I had no source of income. 159 00:12:39.540 --> 00:12:42.900 I left everything, I didn't know how I was gonna pay 160 00:12:42.900 --> 00:12:45.800 the next month's bills, okay? 161 00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:49.700 What was in my hand is I knew how to speak, 162 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.320 I loved speaking. 163 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.920 And so I launched my speaking and charging 164 00:12:56.920 --> 00:13:01.920 and then I pre-sold things before I could pay for, 165 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.000 back then it was like cassettes, I think, 166 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.400 if I remember, I don't know. 167 00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:09.920 And it's like, I pre-sold those, 168 00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:11.400 they were physical products, 169 00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:13.120 I've still got them around here somewhere, 170 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:14.640 before online, right? 171 00:13:14.640 --> 00:13:18.960 And pre-sold them at a discount, you can do that, 172 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.360 you can pre-sell an offering 173 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.080 and then have the money to build it. 174 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.420 You see, there is a way to do this. 175 00:13:27.420 --> 00:13:32.420 So now, the thing that's going to move you fastest forward, 176 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:36.520 obviously, is to do a breakthrough intensive with me, 177 00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:39.680 because the number one thing that gets you stuck 178 00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:41.320 is you don't have clarity. 179 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.080 So you gotta start with the clarity 180 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.400 and then we can go from there. 181 00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:49.040 Amanda, we broke her intensive into three parts, 182 00:13:49.040 --> 00:13:50.480 I just felt from the Holy Spirit, 183 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.200 that's what we were supposed to do. 184 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:57.200 And so she had two really great options, right? 185 00:13:58.040 --> 00:14:01.600 And two possibilities of what she can do. 186 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:06.400 But the book of James says that a double-minded man 187 00:14:06.400 --> 00:14:08.140 or woman don't think that person 188 00:14:08.140 --> 00:14:10.180 will ever receive anything. 189 00:14:10.180 --> 00:14:13.600 It's like sitting your butt on a picket fence, 190 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.480 like you're going nowhere and it's a wedgie, 191 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.480 it's uncomfortable. 192 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.780 And so Amanda, can I call on you for a second about that? 193 00:14:21.780 --> 00:14:23.480 Can I use you as an example? 194 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:24.560 Yeah, of course. 195 00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:26.520 Okay, so appreciate that. 196 00:14:26.520 --> 00:14:31.520 So Amanda, let me just see when you show up on the screen, 197 00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:32.880 there you are, okay. 198 00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:34.800 So Amanda, just- 199 00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:37.400 Sorry, it might be a little loud, 200 00:14:37.400 --> 00:14:38.960 they're doing construction, 201 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.360 like they're putting in grass in our backyard and stuff. 202 00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:43.560 We're in your new house, we're celebrating, 203 00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:45.960 we're celebrating your new house. 204 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.420 Okay, so Amanda, for you, 205 00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:54.160 you wrestled with like, what shall I do? 206 00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:57.040 Shall I do this or shall I do that, correct? 207 00:14:57.040 --> 00:14:57.880 Yes. 208 00:14:57.880 --> 00:14:59.680 So like describe a little bit, 209 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.120 did that feel like when you had two options and how did that play out like actually in 210 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.120 your day-to-day? 211 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.280 What would happen for you? 212 00:15:08.280 --> 00:15:18.040 It was kind of exciting, but it was kind of a lot of confusion because I wanted to know 213 00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:24.200 what I needed to focus on the most first because I didn't want to get overwhelmed. 214 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:33.640 I knew that I have two good opportunities, I want to say that, but I had to be realistic 215 00:15:33.640 --> 00:15:38.440 and be like, okay, which one am I really going to focus on first? 216 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.080 And maybe then the other one will come. 217 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:46.360 So I tried myself, honestly, first of all, I did give it to God. 218 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:51.600 I've been really, really, really praying on it and saying, God, I only want your will, 219 00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:54.160 just show me, just guide me. 220 00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:03.520 But I feel like I wasn't getting, I wasn't hearing from him kind of thing, but I would 221 00:16:03.520 --> 00:16:06.240 have nudges and things like that. 222 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.360 But then again, I was like, okay, these me, I don't want to get scattered and everything 223 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:11.840 like that. 224 00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:20.080 So I just had to learn that sometimes you just have to, even the big vision that you 225 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:25.280 have and what you think is what the outcome is going to be. 226 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:32.400 Sometimes you just have to be more realistic and you just have to start small in order 227 00:16:32.400 --> 00:16:40.480 to know that you're going to build yourself there eventually and to know that this isn't 228 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:47.840 your permanent spot right now, but you have to take the next right step. 229 00:16:48.400 --> 00:16:48.880 Yes. 230 00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:52.880 And have to take it out in faith. 231 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:59.680 And then I believe from there, then God leads you where you're supposed to be. 232 00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:01.600 And it just gets bigger and bigger. 233 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:10.000 But sometimes we look at the big picture of what we want, what we think, and everything 234 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:10.400 like that. 235 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.400 And we get so caught up in that. 236 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.240 That's a really good point. 237 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.240 I'm so glad you brought that up. 238 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.119 Really good point. 239 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.339 Yeah. 240 00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:24.160 I want to come back to that, but I'm glad you're bringing that up because sometimes 241 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.319 we get so big that then we don't do anything. 242 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.160 We actually get paralyzed. 243 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.960 Those of you that are visionaries and dreamers, this becomes a problem and you've got to 244 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.240 break it down again to what's the next right action? 245 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:39.840 What's the next step? 246 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.920 And so I'm so glad that you brought that up because that's a really common problem. 247 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.680 And you've got, like, in your case, you have three options that I saw. 248 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.760 I mean, there's more, but three really obvious. 249 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.360 Do A, opportunity. 250 00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:59.760 Do B, opportunity. 251 00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:04.880 Or combine it somehow to C, opportunity. 252 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.560 And all of those work in different situations, right? 253 00:18:08.560 --> 00:18:10.720 But we needed to get clear. 254 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.960 Is it do I do A now and B and C could come later? 255 00:18:15.040 --> 00:18:18.240 Or do I do B now and A and C could come later? 256 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.520 It's not that you're giving it up for the future. 257 00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:25.680 It's that you're choosing something you can act on right now. 258 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.840 So what happened for you? 259 00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:32.640 We did the first part of our intensive and I really saw a beautiful shift. 260 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:33.680 What happened for you? 261 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:44.080 I think we just broke it down of kind of, you know, my passion, who I want to serve. 262 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:54.240 We did like a comparison, you know, and to be honest, we did kind of do because I am 263 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.000 in a kind of financial situation. 264 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.000 That's important for people to relate to. 265 00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:01.920 It's important for people to relate to. 266 00:19:02.560 --> 00:19:02.960 Yeah. 267 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:09.520 And so we had to be like, what is going to be the fastest to get you the money now? 268 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:14.000 Like right now, not where you want to be, but like right now. 269 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:21.920 And then that's when the clarity came where it was just like, okay, this is going to bring 270 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:22.720 me in. 271 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.280 This is my potential, which I can do. 272 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.600 And then we like set a goal for myself. 273 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.480 And what I liked about Brenda is she reconfirmed it with me and said, is that okay with you? 274 00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:38.720 Are you comfortable with that? 275 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.160 Do you have peace with that? 276 00:19:41.120 --> 00:19:48.240 And I, and I was just like, you know what I really do because I don't see myself being 277 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.880 there, you know, for forever. 278 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.120 Yeah. 279 00:19:51.760 --> 00:19:55.200 So, um, so yeah, I love that. 280 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.080 Thank you for, thank you for sharing that. 281 00:19:58.080 --> 00:19:59.920 And what I really. 282 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.800 love is that, and we have another intensive, I think today in a little while, but for the 283 00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:16.960 first part of the intensive, what was so cool is that this confusion, this idea of not knowing 284 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:24.080 what's next, it creates tremendous pressure and it creates tremendous overwhelm and it actually 285 00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:31.280 creates paralysis. And this is what I saw. She was in this place of overthinking and overplaying 286 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:40.480 and praying and analyzing and going nowhere because it was just too much to process. 287 00:20:41.760 --> 00:20:48.800 And this is why I always have a coach. It's why I love being a coach, is that it's hard sometimes 288 00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:54.880 to do this for ourselves. It's hard to be your own dentist, right? But an outside perspective 289 00:20:54.880 --> 00:21:02.160 can make such a difference. And so when we could look clearly, this is where I need to go and desire 290 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:09.440 to go. This is what's available and actually whiteboard it. Like I actually put it in writing 291 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:16.000 and this is how it'll work here. And you could just see everything about her energy. She just 292 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:22.240 lit up over here because in the past I've helped combine these three things. I have some clients, 293 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:31.280 that's the direction we went. I could tell it was all over here. She just lit up and got so excited 294 00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:37.920 and could visualize it. So you follow the energy too of what lights you up. That's all part of God 295 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:44.320 showing you where's the energy when you think about it. And so I'm excited where this is all 296 00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:51.840 going. We got so clear and yeah, thanks for letting me use this as an example. So that's 297 00:21:52.480 --> 00:22:01.840 what I would suggest for those of you. If you can get coaching and do an intensive, 298 00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:08.640 obviously that's the fastest path to clarity. But if you do it yourself, be able to look at the 299 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:16.080 options, look at what's in your hand and as you prayed and pick a lane. And then instead of 300 00:22:16.080 --> 00:22:23.120 looking at it as this massive thing, break it into the next step. Because when you take that step, 301 00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:29.680 more steps are going to be revealed. And then when you take that step, more steps are going to be 302 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:37.120 revealed. And what's going to happen is each step of the way, you're going to grow in confidence 303 00:22:38.080 --> 00:22:44.720 and you're also going to grow to see, okay, here's the next bottleneck. Business is just 304 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:51.040 constant adjustments, no matter what kind of company, what industry. Business is just constant 305 00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:58.160 adjustments, right? And so does that help answer the question? A couple of you are asking that, 306 00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:03.040 Collette and Christine, and because Amanda was just there, I thought it's a perfect time to 307 00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:11.360 talk about that. Or does that raise up more questions? Let me know. Again, what's in your 308 00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:18.400 hand? What's energizing you? What has God already showed you? What is the next step you could take 309 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:27.360 right now? Those are some of the questions. So a body in motion tends to stay in motion. A body 310 00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:36.560 that is stuck tends to stay stuck. Okay. All right. Good. Okay. Collette is writing. Amanda, 311 00:23:36.560 --> 00:23:40.480 that was helpful. It's always good to share our own experience because everybody's going 312 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.960 through it in a different way. So thank you for being willing to do that. Okay. 313 00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:51.040 Can you make an inventory of what's in your hands? 314 00:23:53.120 --> 00:24:05.520 And that includes background experience, training, certificates, experience, volunteer work, things 315 00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:17.680 you've learned, life lessons, resources, talents. All of that's included in what's in your hand. We 316 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:24.800 have to factor all of that in. And let's roll with what's in your hand. And for those of you that are 317 00:24:24.800 --> 00:24:32.720 in a stuck place, let's get cash in the door. I'm real. When we sit down and I'm talking to clients 318 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:39.120 and they come to me and they do an intensive and they're having a cash flow crisis right now, 319 00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:45.040 it's not unusual in this season. All right. What's the fastest path to the cash? Let's map it out 320 00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:51.120 and then break it down into micro goals and break it down to the next step. So we know exactly what 321 00:24:51.120 --> 00:24:54.640 we need to do. What's the fastest path to the cash? There's nothing wrong with that. 322 00:24:55.360 --> 00:24:59.680 That's not being greedy. That's again, using your resources and 323 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.160 being wise, stewarding your time and your energy. 324 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.760 If you're gonna use your time, 325 00:25:04.760 --> 00:25:06.600 you're gonna use your energy. 326 00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:09.840 There's fulfillment, there's impact, and there's cash. 327 00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:13.040 Like we've got to factor in all of those things, right?

332 00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:25.300 And then, okay, what's the fastest path to the cash? 333 00:25:27.860 --> 00:25:29.240 And I map that out a lot. 334 00:25:29.260 --> 00:25:31.700 And we get cash coming in quick. 335 00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:34.020 We get it in quick. 336 00:25:34.020 --> 00:25:36.660 I just, if you see my Facebook today, 337 00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:38.540 I just put a testimony. 338 00:25:38.540 --> 00:25:40.400 Someone, I mean, boom, 339 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.540 she just got three new breakthrough intensives 340 00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:46.500 and she got a client from a speaking engagement, 341 00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:48.500 but we just got her. 342 00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:50.820 And now it's like focusing. 343 00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:52.860 Okay, we're not gonna run all over 344 00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:54.820 with a million opportunities, 345 00:25:54.820 --> 00:25:58.380 especially for the super creatives and the ADHDs 346 00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.320 that like just run a million paths. 347 00:26:01.320 --> 00:26:04.760 Okay, we're gonna focus on the big rocks. 348 00:26:04.760 --> 00:26:09.760 You know, the example, Stephen Covey of the vase, right? 349 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.420 And you've got big rocks and you've got pebbles 350 00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:15.200 and you've got sand and you got water. 351 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.000 And if you try to put the sand in first and the pebble, 352 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.360 the big rocks won't fit in. 353 00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:23.880 If you put the big rocks in first 354 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:25.760 and then the pebbles kind of fall between 355 00:26:25.760 --> 00:26:28.380 and the sand goes between, it all fits in. 356 00:26:28.380 --> 00:26:31.180 You've got to know your big rocks. 357 00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:32.560 What's your big rocks? 358 00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:34.560 And we have to focus on the big rocks. 359 00:26:34.560 --> 00:26:36.820 We can't do everything right now. 360 00:26:36.820 --> 00:26:39.780 We can't scatter our energies right now. 361 00:26:39.780 --> 00:26:41.620 What's the big rocks? 362 00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:43.940 So we're only doing that every day. 363 00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:45.740 If I could only do one thing today, 364 00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:49.280 what would I do that would most move the lever? 365 00:26:49.280 --> 00:26:50.340 Does that make sense? 366 00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:53.280 So what questions does that raise? 367 00:26:56.760 --> 00:26:59.620 And if you give me a specific question, 368 00:26:59.620 --> 00:27:01.140 I can give you a specific answer. 369 00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:02.560 Those were general questions. 370 00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:04.060 I gave a general answer. 371 00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:10.660 Okay, I have a question. 372 00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:15.660 Okay, so considering my current financial bind 373 00:27:16.540 --> 00:27:19.560 versus the offer that I have, right? 374 00:27:21.060 --> 00:27:24.060 Cause I'm already in it and I don't have, 375 00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:26.800 the only thing I have to do is put this out there, 376 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.400 like go TikTok live or whatnot. 377 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:35.400 And how do I make it so I don't reek of desperation? 378 00:27:38.280 --> 00:27:39.120 That's a great point. 379 00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:40.280 That I need this. 380 00:27:42.020 --> 00:27:45.520 I think just asking that question, 381 00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:49.720 Christine, changes everything, okay? 382 00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.520 So this goes back to what we just did 383 00:27:52.540 --> 00:27:55.060 in pressure to partnership, right? 384 00:27:55.060 --> 00:27:59.180 This goes back that I must first manage my mind. 385 00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:02.300 I must first change my state 386 00:28:02.300 --> 00:28:06.940 to make sure it's in alignment with God's truth, okay? 387 00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:11.220 The two things that are going to take you out of alignment, 388 00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:15.060 the two things that cause all the havoc in your life 389 00:28:15.060 --> 00:28:17.580 are two beliefs, the belief in lack 390 00:28:17.580 --> 00:28:19.780 and the belief in separation. 391 00:28:19.800 --> 00:28:23.920 So the belief in lack that I don't have enough, 392 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.720 I'm running and I need somebody and I've got to get, 393 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.400 and so I've got to go out and get, 394 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.960 you're going to, like you said, reek of desperation 395 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:36.660 and you're going to repel it. 396 00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:39.240 We can never, because the focus is on need, 397 00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.280 the focus is on lack. 398 00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:45.040 So there's one thing that's being a wise steward 399 00:28:45.040 --> 00:28:47.840 that says, these are the resources you've given me, 400 00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:50.460 I'm going to use it, I'm going to serve, 401 00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:51.740 putting the other person, 402 00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:54.140 I'm going to come from an attitude of service, 403 00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:58.020 I'm not coming from a needy, desperate place, 404 00:28:58.020 --> 00:29:00.900 but I'm also looking at what's in my hand 405 00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:03.500 and I'm going to show up. 406 00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:04.860 Does that make sense? 407 00:29:04.860 --> 00:29:09.860 So I often think of one of my mentors, 408 00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:15.100 I love his, part of his daily spiritual practice is, 409 00:29:16.100 --> 00:29:21.100 and it's really based on the all-sufficiency of God, okay? 410 00:29:22.040 --> 00:29:27.000 And so if you, I think it's 2 Corinthians 9, 8, 411 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.800 if I'm not mistaken, that says, 412 00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:34.800 he is able to make all grace abound, 413 00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:40.120 that I might have all sufficiency in all things, right? 414 00:29:46.080 --> 00:29:49.200 That I might have all sufficiency in all things, 415 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.560 that I might be able to abound in good works. 416 00:29:52.560 --> 00:29:53.960 There's a lot of alls in here, 417 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.480 he's able to make all grace, it starts with God's grace, 418 00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:59.680 he's able to make all grace abound, 419 00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.520 that I'm. 420 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.200 I'd have all sufficiency. 421 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.120 That's a word to meditate on, all sufficiency. 422 00:30:07.120 --> 00:30:12.360 If you have Christ in you, you have everything. 423 00:30:12.360 --> 00:30:16.600 If you have God in your life, you have everything. 424 00:30:16.600 --> 00:30:21.120 What was purchased on the cross is everything, healing, 425 00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:24.600 provision, power, right? 426 00:30:24.600 --> 00:30:29.760 So I'm coming from a place of all sufficiency. 427 00:30:29.760 --> 00:30:33.560 So I'm not looking to you that you better 428 00:30:33.560 --> 00:30:38.040 be my utility bill today. 429 00:30:38.040 --> 00:30:40.240 So I'm looking at you. 430 00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.120 You're a daughter of God. 431 00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:43.680 And I'm called to serve. 432 00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.480 And God has given me these gifts and these tools. 433 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.480 And I want to be a wise steward. 434 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.240 So I am going to listen. 435 00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:51.280 I'm going to learn. 436 00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:56.800 And I'm going to serve you just with my entire heart. 437 00:30:56.800 --> 00:31:01.280 I'm also going to be respectful of you and me. 438 00:31:01.280 --> 00:31:03.360 I'm not going to diminish my value, 439 00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:07.480 nor the value of my service, nor the value of my products. 440 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.800 I am going to ask you to pay for the transformation 441 00:31:11.800 --> 00:31:12.960 that you want. 442 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:18.240 But my focus is on you getting that transformation. 443 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:24.480 So this is 100% a mindset issue, how 444 00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.320 you're going out into the day. 445 00:31:26.320 --> 00:31:29.240 Are you going from a place of lack, 446 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:32.600 which is going to drive everything away? 447 00:31:32.600 --> 00:31:34.520 Being needy creates more need. 448 00:31:34.520 --> 00:31:37.160 Whatever you focus on expands. 449 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.040 Or am I going from a place of all sufficiency? 450 00:31:40.040 --> 00:31:41.000 God, we got this. 451 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.480 Who are we going to serve today? 452 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:44.120 Who needs what I have? 453 00:31:44.120 --> 00:31:46.840 How can I help someone create transformation 454 00:31:46.840 --> 00:31:49.640 with the tools and the resources you've given me? 455 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.000 Makes sense? 456 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.600 Yes. 457 00:31:51.600 --> 00:31:53.200 So it's 100%. 458 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.640 And so I was saying I have a mentor. 459 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.320 And he makes a decision. 460 00:31:57.320 --> 00:31:59.640 He will not walk out the door or pick up the phone 461 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:03.000 or talk to anyone until he's very clear that he does not 462 00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:04.680 need anyone. 463 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.880 Now, we all need each other as a body of Christ. 464 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.960 I'm not saying be self-reliant and isolated. 465 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.600 But I'm saying I'm not looking to you to fill my lack. 466 00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:17.440 There's only one source, and that source is God. 467 00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:21.680 However, I'm going to use the gifts he's given me to serve, 468 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:23.200 and I will get a return. 469 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.760 And I expect a return, and I'm OK with getting a return. 470 00:32:26.760 --> 00:32:29.360 Does that make sense? 471 00:32:29.360 --> 00:32:31.080 So tell me how that resonates with you 472 00:32:31.080 --> 00:32:32.240 and what comes up for you. 473 00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:43.040 So yes, it does click, because I do truly 474 00:32:43.040 --> 00:32:47.000 believe that what I have to offer 475 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:52.280 is life-changing in multiple different ways. 476 00:32:52.280 --> 00:32:57.640 The products with people's health, especially these days, 477 00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:02.080 and with 75% of people actually purchasing 478 00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:03.880 at least one supplement. 479 00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:09.040 So we know people are aware that they need these things. 480 00:33:09.040 --> 00:33:14.080 And I have high quality and really great prices 481 00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:19.720 on what my company offers, as well as the affiliate program 482 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:21.680 being so simple. 483 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.600 And that's why it's so hard for me 484 00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:28.400 to understand why I'm having such technical difficulties 485 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:28.880 with it. 486 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:33.120 But when I see it for what it is, how simple it is, 487 00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:36.920 and it's sharing, you're not selling anything. 488 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.280 Yeah, good. 489 00:33:39.280 --> 00:33:41.920 So this is a common problem, Christine, 490 00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:45.280 whether it's a product, or it's a service, or a coaching, 491 00:33:45.280 --> 00:33:48.440 or anything like that. 492 00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:50.280 It's a common problem. 493 00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:54.040 And people are either not showing up, 494 00:33:54.040 --> 00:33:57.200 or they're showing up and they're not making offers, 495 00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.120 or they're making offers and they're undercharging. 496 00:34:00.120 --> 00:34:02.200 They're undervaluing themselves, or they're 497 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.560 undervaluing their products, or they're just not 498 00:34:05.560 --> 00:34:07.160 being bold about it. 499 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:12.120 So in one form or another, like in the testimony 500 00:34:12.120 --> 00:34:17.000 that I put today in my Facebook with another one of my clients, 501 00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.560 that was one of the things that I celebrated, 502 00:34:19.560 --> 00:34:23.120 is that she doesn't think about discounting herself anymore. 503 00:34:23.120 --> 00:34:24.679 She charges full price. 504 00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:26.560 And that's a big shift. 505 00:34:26.560 --> 00:34:28.639 That's a big shift, right? 506 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.280 So one of the things I do with new people 507 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:36.600 is I have them take out a piece of paper or a journal, 508 00:34:36.600 --> 00:34:38.400 and I have them just scribble. 509 00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:40.400 Use different color pens, use whatever. 510 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:44.400 But just start scribbling all the ways 511 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:48.199 that you bring, or your product, or your service 512 00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.679 brings transformation. 513 00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:55.600 So if I'm working with a coach, and they say, well, wow, 514 00:34:55.600 --> 00:34:59.840 they start having peace, and they 515 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.000 knowing who they are and their identity, and they have freedom, and they no longer sabotage, 516 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:11.280 and they get healthy, and they, you know, whatever, they don't have headaches anymore, like, 517 00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:18.880 and almost invariably, I have them do that in a coaching session, and then they'll almost 518 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:25.840 invariably stop and go, wow, I do a lot, like the awareness comes in, because those of us that are 519 00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:31.360 overachievers, we minimize what we do and the value that we do. If you're an overachiever, 520 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:36.720 you know what I'm talking about. We're always on to the next thing, and I have to always just pause 521 00:35:36.720 --> 00:35:42.400 my overachievers and go, wait, wait, wait, pause, like, what did you just say, like, and so they'll 522 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:49.920 go, wow, I'm actually doing a lot, and so you start taking stock, and you, and this is like 523 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.000 fueling your pump. Think about the people that bought the products from you, and they got great 524 00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:59.360 testimonies. Have that where you can look at it, and think about it, and draw on it, like, 525 00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:04.960 like fill your pump before you open your mouth, right, so that you're coming from this place of 526 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:11.840 excitement and true transformation, like, I'm so excited. I have genuine products. I mean, these 527 00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:18.400 things are, you know, non-GMO. They're organic, and, you know, we all know that we need nutrition, 528 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:25.440 but the fact that I can get them to people in high quality and affordably, and the transformations 529 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:33.280 I'm seeing in people, I'm so excited, and I thought of you, Christine, because you mentioned, or because 530 00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:39.760 you've been telling, or because I know, like, you're making it about them, and, you know, is that still 531 00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:47.360 important to you, Christine, and so, you know, then we move, so there's two phases. One is the confidence 532 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:53.920 to just start making offers, which you need to do, and then once you've done that, then the next level 533 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:59.680 is we increase our sales skills, that we get better and better at making those offers, right, and that's 534 00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:09.120 all of those are on the Prosper Leader membership, okay, and so some of the things, like, for what 535 00:37:09.120 --> 00:37:19.760 you're talking about, Christine, you know, this is what I would go to, and just use the resources, 536 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:27.440 you know, even in between when you go into the Prosper Leader membership. First of all, when it 537 00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:35.200 comes to sales, I would listen over and over under Build Your Business Sales. I would listen to the 538 00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:44.400 Successful Sales Conversation and the Encore, Successful Sales Conversation, Encore. My top 539 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:51.760 people listen to these at least every other month, or every three months over again, and their sales 540 00:37:51.760 --> 00:38:01.120 increase, so I would listen to that. I would also, making offers, go in the search bar, type in the word 541 00:38:01.120 --> 00:38:08.320 offers, or offer, and you'll see where do I, oops, I got it, oops, let's see if it's coming back, there it goes, 542 00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:17.360 okay, so these are all the places that I talked about making an offer, and you will see 543 00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:24.080 that there are some that are just really obvious, like, what is an irresistible offer, part one and 544 00:38:24.080 --> 00:38:33.840 part two, right, so that's when we, when we started this whole thing, it was about what's my next step, 545 00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:41.120 and so for a couple of you, it's getting clear what direction you're going is your next step, 546 00:38:41.120 --> 00:38:46.720 and then it's taking the next right action, and for those of you that already looked at what's in 547 00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:52.160 your hands, it's like start making offers. If you're not making offers, you're not making sales. If you're 548 00:38:52.160 --> 00:38:57.600 not making sales, you're not making money, so we're going to start making offers, and then we're going 549 00:38:57.600 --> 00:39:02.640 to improve, so like when I meet with Amanda shortly, we're going to look at who did you talk 550 00:39:02.640 --> 00:39:07.600 to already, what do we, what are we running up against, what do we need to improve, let's make sure 551 00:39:07.600 --> 00:39:13.600 that our offer is super irresistible and tight. We know what we're offering, and we get that 552 00:39:13.600 --> 00:39:21.440 down really tight. We improve our sales. Sales is a craft. There's nothing sleazy about it. It's using 553 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:29.360 your skill set to help people solve a problem, but it's a craft. You can be a really lousy salesperson, 554 00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:36.160 or you can be a really great salespeople, right, and it's a craft. It's not a profession that's not 555 00:39:36.160 --> 00:39:42.000 honorable. It's a craft, so you need to hone your craft, so under mindset, skill set, action, that 556 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:49.600 falls under the skill set part. Make sense? Okay, here, go ahead. Somebody said something. 557 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:55.040 I was just saying, yes, ma'am. Thank you.
