1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
All right, welcome back.

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.560
This is our double double hitter Thursday, right?

3
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:15.240
So we just finished from pressure to partnership.

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.100
And this of course is office hours.

5
00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:21.560
And they're going to go really well together.

6
00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:24.960
Actually all three yesterday's power hour.

7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:31.880
We laid the scriptural foundation today, pressure to partnership.

8
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:37.120
We went more into the internal application.

9
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:43.280
And then when we come over to office hours, we can get into the action.

10
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:44.280
We talked about it.

11
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.040
We ended with the words aligned action.

12
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:56.200
Now, if you have any questions, anything you want me to review, any business insights

13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:02.680
you want, any, this is your chance to, you know, get, get coaching.

14
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:06.880
Of course, you know, the one-on-one coaching, we get, you know, really deep and personal,

15
00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:14.640
but as a group, the things that you can ask that would benefit the whole group, I'll cover

16
00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:18.360
it is, that's of interest to you.

17
00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:23.080
And I will bring up some things that are happening.

18
00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:27.360
And so we're going to address some of that.

19
00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:31.400
One of the things I'm going to address real quick, and then I want to carry over what

20
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:43.120
we were talking about and taking it further yet, before I start any of that, do you have,

21
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.320
let me just kind of frame.

22
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.440
So I make time for everything.

23
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:49.720
Is there something in your business you would like support with?

24
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:56.480
You have questions, you want to know how you want review, you would like my, or the group's

25
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:01.440
eyes on, is there anything important to you in your business right now that you would

26
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:02.520
like addressed?

27
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:09.120
This office hours is for you, anybody?

28
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:22.320
Okay, well, if something comes up, just unmute, raise your hand or put in the chat.

29
00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:26.400
So I want to continue, I desire to continue what we were talking about because it's deep

30
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.680
and it's relevant.

31
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.160
I do want to share one insight just to be a heads up for you.

32
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:42.680
Many people are using AI to write for them because it's easy, because it's fast.

33
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:52.240
And so they're using it for posts, anything that they're writing.

34
00:02:52.240 --> 00:03:02.360
And AI detection software is now being activated on all platforms.

35
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:10.560
I know Substack announced it yesterday and Meta is beginning to do it.

36
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:22.960
So I encourage you, do not block your reach by having AI do all your reading, writing.

37
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.720
Now I'm going to tell you what I recommend doing.

38
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:41.520
I also would like to give you admonition to not fall into a trap.

39
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.440
The brain loves what's easy.

40
00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:49.160
The brain loves to go downstream and conserve energy.

41
00:03:49.160 --> 00:03:52.200
And AI can appear very easy.

42
00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:56.840
It's fast, it'll write better than we did, it'll say it better than we did.

43
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.840
There's a temptation to rely on it.

44
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:06.680
And it's being shown now in the brain that when we're doing this, the part we used to

45
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.760
use in our brain is diminishing.

46
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.160
And you've probably seen this in many areas in your life.

47
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.760
You probably used to memorize phone numbers and you probably don't have a lot of them

48
00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:21.519
memorized anymore.

49
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.360
You probably at one time were able to calculate things mathematically in your head and you

50
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.760
now rely on a calculator.

51
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:36.160
More recent, you probably used to be able to navigate and pay attention to going places

52
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.280
and now you just let the GPS do it.

53
00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:51.520
And AI, you are stopping your creativity and the downloads from God and writing and

54
00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:58.000
experiencing that by allowing AI to become your main writer.

55
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.400
Am I saying don't use AI?

56
00:04:59.400 --> 00:04:59.960
Absolutely not.

57
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.160
I think AI, as a person who has owned and run corporations

58
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.000
with many, many, many employees, AI

59
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.160
is like having all of those employees

60
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.400
for free in the push of a button.

61
00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:17.760
So am I saying don't use it?

62
00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:18.440
Absolutely not.

63
00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:20.160
Use it wisely.

64
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.720
Here's what I am saying.

65
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:28.680
Number one, the source, start, what

66
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.320
you're going to write, what you're going to speak,

67
00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:32.920
what you're going to put out there,

68
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:39.400
what you're going to post, start by seeking God

69
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:43.400
and getting fresh inspiration.

70
00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:45.880
So a lot of what I write is either

71
00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:50.960
coming from what I taught that day, or a coaching session,

72
00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:55.400
real life experiences, or my morning spiritual practice,

73
00:05:55.400 --> 00:05:59.320
or something I read in the Word, or a conversation.

74
00:05:59.320 --> 00:06:03.440
Start by asking God to speak through you,

75
00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:04.600
like we did earlier.

76
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.640
God, what do you see in this situation?

77
00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:11.080
What do you desire me to talk about in this situation?

78
00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:13.600
What's the truth in this situation

79
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.560
you desire me to reveal?

80
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.360
Start with God, and with truth, and with real stories.

81
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:23.840
Start with humanity.

82
00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:29.920
Start with your humanity and your connection to divinity.

83
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.800
Start there.

84
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.800
Then, if you've trained your AI very well,

85
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.000
you can have it help you clean up what you wrote.

86
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.120
But I would have it teach you.

87
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.840
Say, what would make this a better piece?

88
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:53.320
What would improve my writing?

89
00:06:53.320 --> 00:06:55.000
Don't change anything.

90
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:02.080
Just tell me, so that you are becoming a more skilled writer,

91
00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:07.600
a more creative, a more impactful, OK?

92
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:13.160
Also, if you do allow it to write,

93
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:21.120
you have to really train it what not to do that just screams AI.

94
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.600
Don't give me the if, x, then, y.

95
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.240
Maybe you thought, but, blah.

96
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.520
Or don't give me the stacked sentences.

97
00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:35.360
Don't give me the run-on sentences.

98
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:42.440
So start with God and the ideas and the creativity

99
00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:45.000
coming from you.

100
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.440
Second thing that I encourage you to do

101
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.880
is to begin to organize your cloud.

102
00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:54.320
I use Google.

103
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:56.520
I use Google Files.

104
00:07:56.520 --> 00:08:01.640
Create a file for stories.

105
00:08:01.640 --> 00:08:06.120
Everything and anything that can be a story, make a quick note

106
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.640
and throw it in that folder.

107
00:08:09.640 --> 00:08:13.520
So when you get ready to write, and you can open that folder

108
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:15.680
and go, oh, what would be a great story

109
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.120
to demonstrate this?

110
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.160
OK?

111
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.120
In my newsletter on Sunday, I told the story,

112
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.480
true story, about the multiplying minestrone,

113
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:35.360
how God multiplied food when we didn't have any,

114
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.200
the multiplying minestrone.

115
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.120
So I was talking about open the flow,

116
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.560
and I was thinking, what would be a great example?

117
00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:47.160
Because story is the very best thing

118
00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:49.520
that you can share, especially in this time of AI,

119
00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:53.480
personal stories, personal conversations, personal stories.

120
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.160
You don't have to say the name of the client

121
00:08:56.160 --> 00:08:58.360
or the name of the company.

122
00:08:58.360 --> 00:08:59.760
What was the lesson?

123
00:08:59.760 --> 00:09:00.560
What did you learn?

124
00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:02.000
What came out of the conversation?

125
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.120
What was the breakthrough?

126
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.200
What was the point?

127
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.960
All of that should be in your story bank

128
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.560
so it gets easier and easier to write.

129
00:09:09.560 --> 00:09:15.840
And now, OK, we got bots against bots, right?

130
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.120
We've got in meta, we've got bots looking for bot activity

131
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.800
to block all the bots.

132
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:24.400
The meta bots are blocking the other bots.

133
00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:26.680
Like, we got all this bot activity, right?

134
00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:33.640
You can use AI to correct itself, too, right?

135
00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:40.160
So you can say, you always tell AI what it is, right?

136
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:49.160
You are a high-level AI detector flag.

137
00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:53.160
So you can take its post that it wrote,

138
00:09:53.160 --> 00:09:55.520
that it helped you write, or that you wrote,

139
00:09:55.520 --> 00:10:01.040
put it on a Google document, and say, put this.

140
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.200
Give it what you wrote.

141
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:08.760
Put this on a Google document and flag all the areas.

142
00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:09.640
Don't change it.

143
00:10:09.640 --> 00:10:16.560
Just flag it that AI will detect.

144
00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:20.480
AI detectors will find.

145
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.400
This is the way.

146
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:25.340
Then you go in and correct it and write it,

147
00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:27.040
and then you post it.

148
00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:28.440
And it doesn't have to take long.

149
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.900
This is not time consuming.

150
00:10:29.900 --> 00:10:32.440
It does take more time than just say, hey, write this, boom,

151
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:33.940
and then posting it.

152
00:10:33.940 --> 00:10:35.740
But now you're giving away your power.

153
00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:38.740
You're setting yourself up for losing reach.

154
00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:40.700
You're diminishing your mind.

155
00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:44.900
You're giving up the creativity that God wants you to have.

156
00:10:44.900 --> 00:10:47.780
So fastest is not necessarily best.

157
00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:50.460
I'm not saying that you can't use it for speed.

158
00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:52.300
You can.

159
00:10:52.300 --> 00:11:01.660
So what I do is I use AI to both help me write a better piece,

160
00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:05.340
but do it not just by writing it for me.

161
00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:08.260
You know the saying, you can give a man a fish

162
00:11:08.260 --> 00:11:10.020
or you can teach a man how to fish?

163
00:11:10.020 --> 00:11:11.540
You know that saying?

164
00:11:11.540 --> 00:11:13.780
So I don't want AI to give me a fish.

165
00:11:13.780 --> 00:11:16.340
I want it to teach me to fish.

166
00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:20.820
So I want it to say, is this piece a level 10

167
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:26.500
in terms of engagement, in terms of sensory,

168
00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:28.500
pulling on the mind and the heart,

169
00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:33.060
in terms of conversion, of actually creating

170
00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:35.660
what it is that the call to action is?

171
00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:37.420
Is it a level 10?

172
00:11:37.420 --> 00:11:41.460
And if not, how would you improve it?

173
00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:45.060
I don't want you to write it for me.

174
00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:50.020
I want you to come alongside and teach me how to write better.

175
00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:54.060
This will now grow your skills, grow your mind,

176
00:11:54.060 --> 00:11:55.900
and come out with way better pieces.

177
00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:57.100
Does that make sense?

178
00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:00.580
So that's just one topic I want to bring up for you.

179
00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:04.660
Anybody have any thoughts on that or any comments on that?

180
00:12:04.660 --> 00:12:06.060
Or have you experienced that?

181
00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:07.380
Or did you know about it?

182
00:12:07.380 --> 00:12:09.460
Or have you even thought about it?

183
00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:10.100
Yeah.

184
00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:12.580
I've experienced it and I thought about it yesterday.

185
00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:18.540
I don't know if I shared this yesterday, but I told you

186
00:12:18.540 --> 00:12:22.220
about my son looking for a car.

187
00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:29.860
And I was able to use AI to ward off a scam.

188
00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:32.380
I fed the information into AI.

189
00:12:32.380 --> 00:12:35.180
And not only did it clearly tell me what the scam was,

190
00:12:35.180 --> 00:12:38.540
it clearly told me what the next steps that the scammers

191
00:12:38.540 --> 00:12:40.180
were going to do.

192
00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:41.220
And it was right on point.

193
00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:43.820
So yeah, I am.

194
00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:46.220
You did not only solve their problem, Natalie,

195
00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:47.580
but you learned something.

196
00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:49.620
This will never happen to you again.

197
00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:51.660
I learned something and I've already

198
00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:53.460
shared it a couple of times over.

199
00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:54.180
That's good.

200
00:12:54.180 --> 00:12:54.660
Yeah.

201
00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:56.460
That would be a great post, by the way.

202
00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:57.580
Have you posted about that?

203
00:12:57.580 --> 00:12:58.740
I thought about that, too.

204
00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:02.500
That would really bless a lot of people.

205
00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:04.420
That would bless a lot of people.

206
00:13:04.420 --> 00:13:09.020
That's what I mean by take an experience.

207
00:13:09.020 --> 00:13:10.700
Use good writing.

208
00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:11.500
What do we know?

209
00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:12.820
Open with a hook.

210
00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:17.180
I would open with, I almost got scammed.

211
00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:20.100
Here's how AI helped me, or something.

212
00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:23.860
That's going to make me want to read it.

213
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:27.780
Then use good sensory storytelling

214
00:13:27.780 --> 00:13:29.860
and leave with something really valuable.

215
00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.860
That's a powerful post right there.

216
00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:33.940
Yeah.

217
00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:36.500
Yeah, it is.

218
00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:41.740
But I noticed what you were saying.

219
00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:45.380
So one of my goddaughter, one of the things that she does,

220
00:13:45.380 --> 00:13:48.580
is she has nobody's phone number saved in her phone.

221
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:53.420
So she makes herself memorize everybody's phone number.

222
00:13:53.420 --> 00:13:56.140
And so I'm trying to start to do that, because I realize I don't.

223
00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:56.980
I know.

224
00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:57.900
Me too.

225
00:13:57.900 --> 00:13:59.340
I don't know anybody's phone number.

226
00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:02.220
If there's an emergency, I don't know anybody's phone number.

227
00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:04.380
I know two people.

228
00:14:04.380 --> 00:14:06.700
Well, no, not two people anymore.

229
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:08.220
Right.

230
00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:09.740
I only know one phone number.

231
00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:10.740
That's kind of scary.

232
00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:11.220
It is.

233
00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:13.500
I know one phone number that I could.

234
00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:15.020
But I know one phone number.

235
00:14:15.020 --> 00:14:19.020
But I was thinking, I need to know these phone numbers.

236
00:14:19.020 --> 00:14:21.020
Now, I can tell you my bank accounts.

237
00:14:21.020 --> 00:14:22.300
I can tell you everyone.

238
00:14:22.300 --> 00:14:25.340
I used to until I had to get seven new ones,

239
00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:26.540
because I got scammed.

240
00:14:26.540 --> 00:14:27.260
And now I don't.

241
00:14:27.260 --> 00:14:29.660
I used to know them, just off the everything.

242
00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:33.020
Yeah, I make myself memorize those.

243
00:14:33.020 --> 00:14:36.540
But phone numbers, it has become.

244
00:14:36.540 --> 00:14:40.340
And I think about, oh my god, this

245
00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:42.940
is just really dummying down.

246
00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:43.980
Yes.

247
00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:45.140
And so I thought about that.

248
00:14:45.140 --> 00:14:49.100
And even sometimes in my writing,

249
00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:52.420
but what I do a lot of times, but you just,

250
00:14:52.420 --> 00:14:53.740
I like the long cycle.

251
00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:59.980
What I do is I will, what I do, what I do with AI the most

252
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.960
is I dictate something to AI.

253
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:03.840
Yes.

254
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.760
And then I just say, you know, kind of clean it up.

255
00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:14.840
But that's one thing, because I, one,

256
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.280
because I don't type fast.

257
00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:17.120
Yeah.

258
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.120
So I use it to dictate.

259
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.560
So what I could do, yeah, so I do it.

260
00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:23.080
Then I have it clean it up.

261
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:24.800
And then I go back and read it.

262
00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:28.680
And sometimes I have to be like, I did not say that.

263
00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:29.760
That's not what I said.

264
00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:31.400
You know that's not what I said.

265
00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:32.480
Yes.

266
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.400
Yes.

267
00:15:33.400 --> 00:15:40.400
But I will say that I've been, yeah,

268
00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:45.120
so I know that my AI is trained, sometimes a little too

269
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:45.880
familiar.

270
00:15:45.880 --> 00:15:47.600
I'm thinking, I might need to reset you,

271
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.800
because you're a little too familiar with me.

272
00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:51.480
Sure.

273
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.160
But like I was saying, I just said,

274
00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:55.960
what if I decided to buy a different car?

275
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:57.760
And this is kind of what I was looking for.

276
00:15:57.760 --> 00:16:01.840
It said, basically, based on your grandkids

277
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.800
and how you'd like to go, I mean, it had, I was like.

278
00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:06.360
Yeah.

279
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:07.920
Yeah, I know.

280
00:16:07.920 --> 00:16:08.840
I know.

281
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.520
It's a little scary.

282
00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:14.200
Yeah, but this is really good.

283
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.440
And it, first of all, lets me know

284
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.400
that I was on the right track as I was thinking about this.

285
00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:22.760
But I never thought about using it as a tool

286
00:16:22.760 --> 00:16:26.360
to walk alongside me to make it better.

287
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.160
Yeah.

288
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:29.440
And make you better.

289
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.520
Make you a better person.

290
00:16:30.520 --> 00:16:32.640
That's what I'm saying, to make me better.

291
00:16:32.640 --> 00:16:33.120
Yeah.

292
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.400
I say, I desire to improve my writing.

293
00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:40.640
So what would make this piece better?

294
00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:42.480
But teach me why.

295
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.840
Teach me to be a better writer.

296
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.360
And it'll start teaching me writing things.

297
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.640
While in good writing, it should do this and this.

298
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:51.040
Oh, OK.

299
00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:52.440
Or it's missing.

300
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.600
A good writing is missing.

301
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.440
And it's like, oh, now I can become better instead of dumber.

302
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.120
And we're really getting dumbed down as a society.

303
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.760
And I've got to, it's been on me,

304
00:17:04.760 --> 00:17:09.480
I've got to start memorizing some phone numbers and things.

305
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.400
Because I don't, even the people closest to me.

306
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.119
Do you all have, do you have all the numbers?

307
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:15.319
Like, do you know your kids?

308
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:16.839
Do you know your parents?

309
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:18.040
Like, do you know the numbers?

310
00:17:18.040 --> 00:17:19.880
Could you just call it?

311
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.680
Because, any of you?

312
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.079
Because I don't.

313
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.280
That's kind of sad and scary.

314
00:17:26.280 --> 00:17:27.839
Yeah.

315
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.960
Oh, you're muted, Natalie, for some reason.

316
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.880
Oh, you said one minute.

317
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.840
I know one number by heart.

318
00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:36.760
And then I did have two of them, but they recently

319
00:17:36.760 --> 00:17:37.760
changed their numbers.

320
00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:38.920
I'm going to go back now.

321
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.600
I'm going to make that my goal today.

322
00:17:40.600 --> 00:17:41.520
I'm going to memorize.

323
00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:43.160
I'll start with my kids, at least.

324
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.360
OK.

325
00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:46.880
All right.

326
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:48.000
So enough on AI.

327
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.440
That's, unless you have any questions,

328
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.640
I felt that that was a current change that's happening.

329
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:55.800
It's on the forefront.

330
00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:57.520
I wanted you all to know about it.

331
00:17:57.520 --> 00:18:02.520
And then I wanted to bring that to the bigger picture.

332
00:18:02.520 --> 00:18:03.400
OK?

333
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:04.960
So good.

334
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.120
All right.

335
00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:11.680
So now, let's continue the conversation

336
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.640
from the previous two days, from power hour

337
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.880
and from pressure to partnership.

338
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:25.120
So we saw today, in from pressure to partnership,

339
00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:29.040
we saw kind of the cycle, what happens.

340
00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:31.120
There's a circumstance.

341
00:18:31.120 --> 00:18:34.480
There's a condition.

342
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.240
We add a meaning or interpretation

343
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:44.960
to that condition that leads to an emotion, which we often

344
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:50.480
will then speak, react, act, which

345
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:57.240
will reinforce the agreement or belief of our interpretation.

346
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:58.080
OK?

347
00:18:58.080 --> 00:19:01.760
So we started stepping into truth.

348
00:19:01.760 --> 00:19:03.280
If you didn't listen, those of you

349
00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:05.240
that are listening to replay, if you're only

350
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.360
listening to office hours, go back and catch

351
00:19:08.360 --> 00:19:11.360
this issue on emotional alignment

352
00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:13.000
from pressure to partnership.

353
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.320
If you're a Prosper Leader member,

354
00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:17.040
that's part of your membership.

355
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:17.800
OK.

356
00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:22.560
So we started moving into breaking out of agreement

357
00:19:22.560 --> 00:19:26.880
and starting to ask God to reveal truth.

358
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.760
We started having more aligned.

359
00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:34.800
We were able to separate, learn to separate the fact.

360
00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:35.920
They didn't buy.

361
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.520
They didn't show up.

362
00:19:37.520 --> 00:19:39.720
They, you know, whatever.

363
00:19:39.760 --> 00:19:44.800
Separate the fact, money is low, whatever

364
00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:49.160
the fact is from the interpretation, the narrative,

365
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:49.840
the story.

366
00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:52.520
We separated that.

367
00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:56.520
Because when those two are merged as one,

368
00:19:56.520 --> 00:20:01.040
that emotion then is what's causing the pressure.

369
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.560
And we were talking about moving from pressure to partnership.

370
00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:10.760
So we did some deeper teaching to separate that and start

371
00:20:10.760 --> 00:20:13.760
to see what happens when we separate the fact

372
00:20:13.760 --> 00:20:15.320
from the interpretation.

373
00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:17.720
And we saw how much of the pressures

374
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.400
is attached to the meaning that we assigned.

375
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.120
And we could begin start to identify patterns.

376
00:20:26.120 --> 00:20:28.680
We're going to go deep Saturday and open the flow,

377
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.840
some really powerful patterns, when

378
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:35.280
it has to do with flow, cash flow, client flow, love flow,

379
00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:37.680
health flow, all those things.

380
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:44.040
And so we started to begin to reveal and ask the Holy Spirit.

381
00:20:44.040 --> 00:20:50.280
We went deep into Psalms 139 verses 23 and 24.

382
00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:55.600
Holy Spirit, what do you desire me to know about this situation?

383
00:20:55.600 --> 00:20:57.720
What's true?

384
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.280
What's true about you?

385
00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:01.160
What's true about this situation?

386
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:02.840
What's true about me?

387
00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:05.920
What have I forgotten?

388
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:09.400
And so we did some journaling.

389
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:11.080
The agreement I've been carrying,

390
00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:14.200
the truth about this is, because this is true,

391
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.040
I no longer have to.

392
00:21:16.040 --> 00:21:18.200
And we started stepping into some truths.

393
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:26.120
And so we ended by saying, align our mouth and our action.

394
00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:29.320
So here at office hours, we're going

395
00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:31.320
to move now into the action.

396
00:21:31.320 --> 00:21:34.200
We've been dealing with the other parts, the mind

397
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:35.560
and the heart.

398
00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:39.000
And so we were aligning our mouth that our words,

399
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.120
we don't say things like I'm overwhelmed

400
00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:43.520
or nothing's working or I never have it.

401
00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:48.040
We were going to realign our mouth with truth.

402
00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:50.920
That was what we did in the previous hour.

403
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:56.560
Now we need to align, realign our actions.

404
00:21:56.560 --> 00:22:00.080
So these beliefs, these hidden patterns

405
00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:06.880
have caused us to take or not take certain actions.

406
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:12.240
Take meaning over, overwork, over deliver,

407
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.960
over discount our packages, or not take.

408
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.560
I just don't follow up or I don't follow up

409
00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:21.120
more than once or twice.

410
00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:23.360
Or I'm not showing up online.

411
00:22:23.360 --> 00:22:25.440
I'm not being visible.

412
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:31.600
So these things are leading to actions or lack of actions.

413
00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:36.600
So let's talk about that and begin to create some shifts.

414
00:22:36.600 --> 00:22:40.720
As you look at this pattern, the meaning, the emotion,

415
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.080
the belief system, the agreement,

416
00:22:44.080 --> 00:22:52.200
how is that impacting your actions or lack of actions?

417
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.680
Anybody would love to hot seat that,

418
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.360
would love to get some breakthrough

419
00:22:58.360 --> 00:23:01.800
in the area of your actions or lack of actions.

420
00:23:01.800 --> 00:23:08.000
What actions have I been taking, trying to take on?

421
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:13.920
I do all the chores in the house or I don't rest.

422
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:15.320
I work 12 hours.

423
00:23:15.320 --> 00:23:17.600
That would be actions that I'm taking

424
00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:21.160
as a result of a certain belief or meaning.

425
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:25.840
Or lack of action, I'm not taking a break.

426
00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:29.320
So I'm not focused on any of the actions

427
00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:33.480
that I'm taking as a result of a certain belief or meaning.

428
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:39.080
Or lack of action, I tend to not follow up.

429
00:23:39.080 --> 00:23:42.960
If they don't say yes in the first time or the second time,

430
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:44.360
I feel like I'm bugging them.

431
00:23:44.360 --> 00:23:49.440
So I don't follow up anymore, or I don't show up

432
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:50.640
because it didn't work.

433
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:52.800
And I told myself I'm not good at this

434
00:23:52.800 --> 00:23:54.640
and my business is not working.

435
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.520
What actions or lack of actions?

436
00:23:58.520 --> 00:23:59.560
Let's be real, guys.

437
00:23:59.560 --> 00:24:01.000
Let's get breakthrough.

438
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:03.000
You're taking your beautiful time.

439
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.360
OK, thank you, Collette.

440
00:24:04.360 --> 00:24:06.720
She's going to jump in.

441
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.200
Yes.

442
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:07.760
You're welcome.

443
00:24:07.760 --> 00:24:10.160
I told you, I really had to go back to the beginning.

444
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:13.080
I'm still working on my mind and spending time with the Lord

445
00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:16.520
because the hardest thing for me is not

446
00:24:16.520 --> 00:24:20.440
to be taking care of everything myself, doing, doing, doing.

447
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:24.280
And I'm stopping being so busy all the time, which

448
00:24:24.320 --> 00:24:26.480
feels strange.

449
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.280
It does, doesn't it?

450
00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:31.520
But one of the things I've talked about more than once

451
00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:32.480
are finances.

452
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:35.480
And I think God reminded me there

453
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:40.240
are more aspects to finances than just receiving money.

454
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.720
You have to look at where the money's going, for one thing.

455
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:45.080
So I'm going back and looking.

456
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:46.600
Do I have things coming out monthly

457
00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:49.360
that maybe I forgot about?

458
00:24:49.360 --> 00:24:52.120
Am I trying to list things on eBay?

459
00:24:52.120 --> 00:24:53.840
Am I just waiting for something to sell

460
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.000
that's been there for months?

461
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.680
Am I actively trying to improve the situation

462
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:01.320
is what I'm getting from God.

463
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.320
and not just waiting for something to fall into the bank account and I don't

464
00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:08.960
mean that I'm striving stressing I'm not doing a lot because I really have

465
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:14.360
stepped back which God knows has been the hardest thing for me because I'm one

466
00:25:14.360 --> 00:25:17.800
of those people that everything depends on me nothing gets done if I don't do it

467
00:25:17.800 --> 00:25:22.080
that's that was my belief so now I'm like you know stop it

468
00:25:22.080 --> 00:25:29.200
God is my source and I haven't seen a big change yet but I think part of that

469
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:35.560
is the timing is not right so I'm being patient I'm sitting back that's that's

470
00:25:35.560 --> 00:25:41.960
one of the things another thing is there's a little bit of a myth about me

471
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:46.960
in the family and I believe I know one or two people started this little myth

472
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:51.560
about me and my daughter's decided to believe it and it's hurtful it is

473
00:25:51.560 --> 00:25:56.360
hurtful but you know instead of being all oh this is the end of the world I

474
00:25:56.360 --> 00:26:02.480
have to change this had to do something about this now I'm like whatever she's

475
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.720
gonna believe what she's gonna believe and I'm trying to ask God what do you

476
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:12.200
think about that are you working on that will you work on that for me you know

477
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.840
why am I trying to put human words out there that are not going to affect

478
00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:21.360
anybody besides they're gonna see it like oh she's defending herself so there

479
00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:25.560
must be something there there's something about it if she's defending

480
00:26:25.560 --> 00:26:30.640
herself so those are two areas I've kind of tried to let go and for me

481
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:36.480
that's been very difficult so I hear you I hear you saying and I'm celebrating

482
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:42.280
with you on one hand we're talking about actions that we're not taking and

483
00:26:42.280 --> 00:26:48.200
actions that we're taking right so there's actions that you're not taking

484
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:57.000
you're or a mindset behind actions like everything relies on me I can't rest and

485
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:03.400
so I'm overdoing and over pushing and all of those things so you're not taking

486
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:12.040
those okay which is creating space now that's half the equation not taking

487
00:27:12.040 --> 00:27:19.800
certain actions is half the equation the other half of the equation is taking

488
00:27:19.800 --> 00:27:26.800
aligned actions taking right actions okay so we've talked in the past about

489
00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:32.440
the question and it comes you know one of it comes from the book the one thing

490
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:38.480
or even before I ever read the book one thing the question I always ask myself

491
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:45.200
every day is what is the single most important or you could say the top three

492
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:56.200
maximum most important actions I can take today that will have equipped me to

493
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:02.600
advance boldly in the direction of my goals dreams and desires so what that's

494
00:28:02.600 --> 00:28:08.480
doing and that goes into your prosper daily planner what are the things that

495
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:14.120
will move the needle the book the one thing says what's the one thing that by

496
00:28:14.120 --> 00:28:20.760
doing it will make many of the other things irrelevant or unnecessary or

497
00:28:20.760 --> 00:28:29.120
easier because I do that one thing right so what's what's the one thing so it's

498
00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:35.440
it's important that we don't we don't throw out the baby with the bath water

499
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:39.840
meaning we don't just go oh I was really overworking so now I'm not going to do

500
00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:43.720
anything that would be another extreme and God doesn't call us to that we're

501
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:48.160
called to put our hand to the plow we're called to be diligent and take diligent

502
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:53.360
action we're called to sow seeds we're called to water those seeds were called

503
00:28:53.360 --> 00:29:00.920
the harvest doesn't just come out of the sky right it comes so it's taking

504
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:09.640
correct aligned action so with what's in your hand with your skills with the

505
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:18.600
things God has called you to money is an exchange for value you must understand

506
00:29:18.600 --> 00:29:27.520
that money is an exchange for value I'm giving a product or a service that is

507
00:29:27.520 --> 00:29:33.600
adding value to someone's life it's making their life better easier happier

508
00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:43.080
healthier okay so money is an exchange for value so what action can I take

509
00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:53.760
today that adds value which will then result in money because I'm not going to

510
00:29:53.760 --> 00:29:59.360
diminish my ability to charge or ask for the money is that would be another

511
00:29:59.360 --> 00:30:01.960
belief system

512
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.000
system, I'm going to

513
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:08.440
charge. Okay, so I'm going to take action. I'm going to add value.

514
00:30:10.320 --> 00:30:14.240
I'm going to give freely the things God tells me to give freely,

515
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:21.600
but I'm not giving freely because I'm afraid of charging or afraid of being abandoned or afraid of being rejected or afraid of not

516
00:30:21.600 --> 00:30:23.600
being liked.

517
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:29.160
I'm going to give freely the things God tells me to give freely that add value.

518
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.400
Okay, and I'm going to add value and charge.

519
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:39.920
So that's the action. So on

520
00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:47.480
one side, clean up the finances. Where am I spending money that I shouldn't be spending money? Where? You know, whatever.

521
00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:50.280
Okay, and on this side,

522
00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:54.440
what is the next right action?

523
00:30:55.080 --> 00:31:01.880
I always remember Oprah Winfrey said she built her whole empire just always asking that question. What's the next right action?

524
00:31:02.760 --> 00:31:06.200
So every day, can you imagine if every single day,

525
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.480
what we just talked about in the last couple days,

526
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:13.720
so we cleaned up the stinking thinking and the words and we moved into

527
00:31:14.260 --> 00:31:21.800
aligned words. We're only speaking that which is aligned with truth and aligned actions. Now I'm taking actions.

528
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:26.440
I'm the daughter of the Most High God. I have the Holy Spirit in me.

529
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:33.560
He's given me these gifts, these talents, this understanding. This is in my hand. I'm going to take

530
00:31:34.100 --> 00:31:36.920
aligned actions, even if it's only one

531
00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:40.520
aligned action every day, five days a week.

532
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:48.280
That's five aligned actions. That's at least 20 aligned actions a month. How would your life be different?

533
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.040
Did you take 20 aligned actions this month?

534
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.960
Did you take 20 aligned actions last month?

535
00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:58.520
The month before?

536
00:31:58.520 --> 00:32:03.080
The last six months? Have you taken 20 aligned actions in the last six months?

537
00:32:04.360 --> 00:32:12.200
You see, we have to come to the truth of it. This is not an age that manifolds from the sky. God is our source,

538
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:17.960
but the Bible says people give unto us. Why do people pour into our

539
00:32:18.360 --> 00:32:24.440
bosom like the Bible talks about? Because we've added value and they just want to pour.

540
00:32:26.040 --> 00:32:27.720
So,

541
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:29.720
we take the gifts.

542
00:32:30.120 --> 00:32:35.640
If one of my gifts or one of my experiences has been 35 years in business

543
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.840
and I have the ability to see how the pieces work,

544
00:32:39.800 --> 00:32:45.640
and I brought that to a company and I'm showing up and adding value every day

545
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:53.000
by God's grace, praying for wisdom, but I'm adding value with the gifts he's placed. I'm using what he

546
00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:55.560
has taught me and given me

547
00:32:56.120 --> 00:32:59.560
so that after four or five weeks, whatever it's been,

548
00:33:00.120 --> 00:33:06.280
they're saying we can't lose her. We need a contract that keeps her for a year. We need her for many years, right?

549
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:08.840
So, okay,

550
00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:10.840
men pour into your bosom,

551
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:16.440
right? Money's not flying out of the sky. God is my source.

552
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.160
Yes, he's the source that brought that. He's the source that gives me wisdom.

553
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:27.560
He's the source that gives me life and strength and health. He is my source. I'm not my source,

554
00:33:28.280 --> 00:33:31.640
but I'm called to use what's in my hand.

555
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.040
It doesn't just

556
00:33:36.040 --> 00:33:38.040
fall out of the sky.

557
00:33:38.760 --> 00:33:40.680
Does that make sense?

558
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.580
So you're doing a beautiful, beautiful job, Colette, like you're having awareness.

559
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.300
You're listening and you're making changes based on that awareness.

560
00:33:50.840 --> 00:33:56.360
You're making powerful shifts of what you're not doing and what you're not saying and what you're not believing.

561
00:33:56.360 --> 00:34:01.240
I mean, I'm celebrating you. I'm so excited for you and

562
00:34:01.800 --> 00:34:06.440
now you're going to step into a line to action that you're going to say.

563
00:34:06.520 --> 00:34:10.120
Like I just found out you were a radio announcer all these years, huh?

564
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:15.159
That tells me you got a beautiful voice and you can talk. That would be something what's in my hand.

565
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.920
Yes.

566
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:21.480
You've got wisdom of all these years of what you've learned. Yes.

567
00:34:22.120 --> 00:34:28.040
You've got experience. Yes. Like how can I take what's in my hand now?

568
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.719
And you're asking God, how can I add value today?

569
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:34.920
Where can I add value?

570
00:34:35.080 --> 00:34:40.120
And I'm completely comfortable to receive money for the value that I give.

571
00:34:42.040 --> 00:34:46.360
Thank you so much for your wisdom and your encouragement and Linda too. She's always kind.

572
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.560
Linda's got something to say. I'm feeling it. I'm glad that you said her name. Linda, what's coming up?

573
00:34:51.560 --> 00:34:54.040
I just feel there's something in you right now.

574
00:34:54.040 --> 00:34:59.900
I think one of the things that Colette does not realize about herself is how resilient she has become.

575
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.360
through everything that she has experienced in her life. And

576
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:09.440
that formula for resilience probably was hard one. And to

577
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.160
share that with other people. So like, at one time, my life looked

578
00:35:15.160 --> 00:35:18.280
like this. And now my life looks like this, because I persevered

579
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:23.760
and I did these things. And I turned and went from radio

580
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.440
announcer, because I knew that wasn't going to support my

581
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:28.960
family in the way that I needed. And I went and looked for

582
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.680
something else. And I did the extra steps. And I trusted in

583
00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:37.160
God and God was faithful. He brought me this next. Yes. There

584
00:35:37.160 --> 00:35:42.880
is so much gold in there. And you you you you minimize

585
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:47.560
yourself way too much, darling. Yeah, way too much. So good for

586
00:35:47.560 --> 00:35:51.000
the power that you hold. So good. Thank you. So kind. I

587
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.120
think you have so much to offer to your brilliant person like

588
00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:57.120
Brenda, I don't feel like I should be sitting here with you

589
00:35:57.120 --> 00:36:06.400
to not even not true. You absolutely should and can. So I

590
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:10.800
want to add something to what Linda said, because 100% she

591
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.720
just saw the gold in you, which is resilience. resilience can

592
00:36:15.720 --> 00:36:21.960
be a complete coaching program, a complete teaching series, a

593
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:27.320
complete like, I want you to know that a complete speaking

594
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:31.960
so you're like, and and and with AI is it's easier and easier to

595
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:37.520
put that together, pull from me the gold on resilience and help

596
00:36:37.520 --> 00:36:43.680
me create, you know, help me speak, help me teach. So what I

597
00:36:43.720 --> 00:36:50.240
also want you to understand, okay, is that doesn't mean that

598
00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:56.280
you've arrived. Okay, Linda hasn't arrived. I haven't

599
00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:04.600
arrived. Okay. And, um, I think it was the call. I think it was

600
00:37:04.600 --> 00:37:09.560
on the power hour call, we got talking about that about how we

601
00:37:09.560 --> 00:37:16.520
can, we can believe that what we have is not relevant. And we

602
00:37:16.520 --> 00:37:20.560
think that we should be further along. And we're not and not and

603
00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:25.640
it becomes a story. Okay. People don't desire you to be

604
00:37:25.640 --> 00:37:28.800
perfect. They won't even follow you. If you're perfect. They're

605
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.560
not looking for perfection. They're looking for one thing.

606
00:37:32.560 --> 00:37:39.880
And don't forget this. Can you help me? Period. Do you have

607
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:45.440
something that will solve a problem? Period. Period. I don't

608
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.680
care if your life isn't perfect. I don't care if you

609
00:37:49.680 --> 00:37:54.280
went through this or that or didn't do this or fell short in

610
00:37:54.280 --> 00:38:04.640
this. Good. Can you help me solve this? So if you can be one

611
00:38:04.640 --> 00:38:08.240
step, two step, three steps ahead of them, you don't have to

612
00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:14.160
be on the pearly gates of eternal knowledge, you need to

613
00:38:14.160 --> 00:38:18.880
be a couple steps and say, Oh, I was there. Here's what I did.

614
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:24.720
Here's what can help you. Here is what I learned. You know, my

615
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:29.080
prosper fate, a framework. What is that? That's just like,

616
00:38:29.200 --> 00:38:34.080
here's what I learned in 35 years. Let me put it in a way

617
00:38:34.080 --> 00:38:38.040
that is repeatable and understandable. You do these

618
00:38:38.040 --> 00:38:42.600
things, you do the PR OSP er, you are going to experience

619
00:38:42.600 --> 00:38:48.600
transformation, you will prosper. I'm not perfect, I

620
00:38:48.600 --> 00:38:52.320
don't have it all together. I've made a lot of mistakes. I've

621
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:55.520
suffered a lot of hardships, I've got a long way to go,

622
00:38:55.520 --> 00:38:59.440
you'll find warts and flaws all over the place. And I'm not

623
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:05.440
trying to present myself as perfect. So we have a tendency

624
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:10.520
to think that if I know something, this is the funny way

625
00:39:10.520 --> 00:39:14.280
the mind works. If I know this, and I've spent time in it, we

626
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:18.120
think, Oh, everybody must have known this. So before I taught

627
00:39:18.120 --> 00:39:22.920
the Bible study on on Wednesday, the power hour, it's like

628
00:39:23.160 --> 00:39:28.240
emotional alignment. Everybody knows this. Everybody's been

629
00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:31.000
there. Why am I teaching this? They don't need to hear this

630
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:35.720
from me. I have the same self doubts. And then Natalie and I

631
00:39:35.720 --> 00:39:39.240
had the conversation. I think I talked to her and she's like, I

632
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.000
needed this. And no, I've been through therapy. And no, I

633
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.200
didn't hear this. But I assume Wow, I've been teaching this

634
00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:50.160
since 2012. This is so in me, my brain says this is old news,

635
00:39:50.160 --> 00:39:55.320
man, get something new, right. But for the people listening,

636
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.200
it's not old news. It's breakthrough. Same for you.

637
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.600
Does that make sense?

638
00:40:01.600 --> 00:40:05.560
Yes, and thank you both, because I've been called a loser

639
00:40:05.560 --> 00:40:08.760
because I was a radio announcer for a long time,

640
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:12.360
and then I became a teacher, and then I became a nurse,

641
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.400
and I was called a loser for all the different things

642
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:19.400
that I've done, and for some reason, you're kind,

643
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:21.440
but you know, for me, I was a-

644
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.920
You understand the health, and you know how to teach,

645
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:27.560
what a gift, and you've got a voice.

646
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.240
I call that gold.

647
00:40:30.240 --> 00:40:31.080
I don't care.

648
00:40:31.080 --> 00:40:33.200
They can call loser all they want.

649
00:40:33.200 --> 00:40:35.280
I call that gold, frankly.

650
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.020
You have the ability to teach.

651
00:40:38.020 --> 00:40:41.200
You have an understanding of the human body,

652
00:40:42.180 --> 00:40:44.800
and you've experienced all these things,

653
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.240
and you've got a voice that can communicate.

654
00:40:47.240 --> 00:40:49.640
Hello, Linda, do you see gold?

655
00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:51.440
I see gold.

656
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.040
I don't know what they're, whoever, whatever words.

657
00:40:54.040 --> 00:40:56.960
I come against those words in Jesus' name.

658
00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:00.720
Amen, and I encourage you to make part of your homework

659
00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:03.280
accepting the compliments,

660
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:06.160
accepting how people perceive you,

661
00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:08.120
because you keep saying, you're so kind.

662
00:41:08.120 --> 00:41:10.400
Like, we're just being nice to you with our words.

663
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:11.360
Not at all.

664
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:12.600
No. Not at all.

665
00:41:12.600 --> 00:41:13.720
Neither one of us are.

666
00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:14.920
We're straight shooters.

667
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.080
We're gonna tell you.

668
00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:21.000
Yeah, we're gonna be the first to tell you what sucks,

669
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:21.840
you know?

670
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:22.880
I love that.

671
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.560
I love, I need that, too.

672
00:41:24.560 --> 00:41:25.920
Thank you for saying that again,

673
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.320
because, you know, I figured out very late

674
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.320
that I accept what people say about me.

675
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:33.400
Why do I do that?

676
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.680
I could just say, that's not true.

677
00:41:34.680 --> 00:41:37.920
Go away, you know, or that's not what God said about me.

678
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.520
But that's what's so amazing to me

679
00:41:41.520 --> 00:41:42.600
about all this teaching,

680
00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:45.100
the things have been right in front of me all these years.

681
00:41:45.100 --> 00:41:47.840
I'm like, never even thought about that,

682
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:50.280
and never even realized I was doing that.

683
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.240
So thank you so much, both of you.

684
00:41:53.240 --> 00:41:54.600
That means a lot.

685
00:41:54.600 --> 00:41:56.600
And I don't ever want to become puffed up

686
00:41:56.600 --> 00:41:58.400
or feel like I'm great.

687
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.180
I've had a lot of experiences,

688
00:42:00.180 --> 00:42:02.800
but, you know, like both of you said,

689
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:04.240
it's because of where I've come,

690
00:42:04.240 --> 00:42:07.000
and some of it I call survival mode.

691
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.540
You know, I had to change or do something

692
00:42:09.540 --> 00:42:10.800
to be able to make it,

693
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.800
and I didn't realize until recent years

694
00:42:16.040 --> 00:42:19.480
that all these things sort of go together, you know,

695
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:23.120
and God really kind of weaved it together for me.

696
00:42:23.120 --> 00:42:25.280
Here's a really fun exercise for you

697
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:26.920
before we run out of time.

698
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.480
If you've got chat, GPT, or Clot,

699
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:33.160
or whatever you're using, and the paid version,

700
00:42:33.160 --> 00:42:37.120
I would start feeding it, and I would just talk.

701
00:42:37.120 --> 00:42:40.520
You can talk into it, you can text, whatever.

702
00:42:40.520 --> 00:42:42.240
These are the experience I have.

703
00:42:42.240 --> 00:42:45.440
This is what I did for 20 years as a radio announcer.

704
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:48.040
This is what I excelled at.

705
00:42:48.040 --> 00:42:49.880
This is what I was recognized for.

706
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.080
This is what, and then I changed, and I taught,

707
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:55.360
and this is what I taught, and this is what I learned,

708
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:57.320
and this is what I was best at doing,

709
00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:02.320
and then I was a nurse, and this is what I got from that,

710
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:06.320
and these are the, tell me, with all of these things,

711
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:07.760
what do you see?

712
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:08.880
Because it's not going to fly,

713
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:12.220
or you just, tell me what do you see are possibilities

714
00:43:12.220 --> 00:43:15.860
to use that in a way that I add value and make money?

715
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:18.820
Oh, you're going to get some juicy stuff back.

716
00:43:18.820 --> 00:43:19.660
I can't wait.

717
00:43:19.700 --> 00:43:23.900
I cannot wait to hear what comes from that conversation.

718
00:43:25.460 --> 00:43:26.460
Okay, I'll do it.

719
00:43:26.460 --> 00:43:28.820
Yeah, because that's gold.

720
00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:31.220
All of that stuff is gold,

721
00:43:31.220 --> 00:43:36.220
and that's part of Linda's gift.

722
00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:41.520
That's part of my gift that has put us in the coaching space

723
00:43:41.520 --> 00:43:44.200
that we can look and see the gold and call that out

724
00:43:44.200 --> 00:43:47.520
of a person, which the Bible tells us to do, okay?

725
00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:51.100
So these are the things,

726
00:43:51.100 --> 00:43:53.700
and that's how I can go into a situation

727
00:43:53.700 --> 00:43:55.560
and speak these things.

728
00:43:55.560 --> 00:43:57.640
I can go into a company and say,

729
00:43:57.640 --> 00:43:59.300
you realize this has the potential

730
00:43:59.300 --> 00:44:01.800
to be a $100 million company?

731
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:02.920
It does?

732
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:04.800
Really?

733
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:06.440
Well, yeah, let me show you something similar

734
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:09.320
that's not half as good as this that's doing 100.

735
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.160
Wow, I guess I do have something of value.

736
00:44:13.160 --> 00:44:15.400
I just haven't done anything with it.

737
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.200
Yeah, let's clear out the stuff

738
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.560
that's not working, let's create a plan to do stuff with it.

739
00:44:20.560 --> 00:44:22.400
So this is business, right?

740
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:25.360
And this is the beauty of being alive in this age

741
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:27.640
and this time and doing so,

742
00:44:27.640 --> 00:44:30.560
partnering with God and having God's spirit in us

743
00:44:30.560 --> 00:44:32.400
is that he takes everything.

744
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:33.700
What does the Bible say?

745
00:44:33.700 --> 00:44:35.040
Romans 8, 28.

746
00:44:35.040 --> 00:44:38.080
He takes everything and works it together for good.

747
00:44:38.080 --> 00:44:40.800
That everything is that you were an announcer.

748
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:42.480
That everything is that you're a nurse.

749
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:44.040
That everything is a teacher.

750
00:44:44.040 --> 00:44:45.480
Linda's the same way.

751
00:44:45.520 --> 00:44:48.600
Linda, you realize that she's a retired teacher

752
00:44:48.600 --> 00:44:51.000
that she ran a school

753
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:54.040
and she happens to be a Canva queen,

754
00:44:54.040 --> 00:44:58.000
super good eye and creating things.

755
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.040
And as a teacher, she-

756
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.800
has the ability to write, she's got an eagle eye, she will find

757
00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:08.120
a missing period and a T that you double cross like when my

758
00:45:08.120 --> 00:45:14.160
eyes are crossed, right? That's her experience coming from being

759
00:45:14.520 --> 00:45:19.320
all of those things. And she's got to experience also the pain

760
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:25.200
of life. So do I. That's all part of Romans 828 that God says

761
00:45:25.200 --> 00:45:30.040
he works all things together for good, all things that what we

762
00:45:30.040 --> 00:45:33.840
called good, what we call bad, what we think is not necessary,

763
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:38.160
what we think people say, we're all things are being worked

764
00:45:38.160 --> 00:45:42.520
together for good. You see that? I do. Brenda, thank you for

765
00:45:42.520 --> 00:45:46.040
showing up today. And thank you for being vulnerable and

766
00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:47.080
allowing us to talk.

767
00:45:47.080 --> 00:45:51.320
No, that was good. Brenda, what is your phrase that you say that

768
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:56.160
you were telling me? When people give their unsolicited

769
00:45:56.160 --> 00:46:02.080
opinion of how you are? Is it just an iPod? Interesting point

770
00:46:02.080 --> 00:46:05.040
of view that you have that point of view? Is that the one?

771
00:46:05.640 --> 00:46:08.640
Yeah, something something to like, they think that that

772
00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:11.720
you've taken it in, but you're not you're basically just Oh,

773
00:46:11.720 --> 00:46:16.520
yeah. Interesting point of view. Yeah. Interesting point of view

774
00:46:16.520 --> 00:46:19.960
or I appreciate I appreciate your point of view. I appreciate

775
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.680
your a lot of times I'll say I appreciate your opinion. Because

776
00:46:23.680 --> 00:46:27.640
in my brain that remember how we did today, we separated fact

777
00:46:27.640 --> 00:46:31.800
from meaning. When I say it looks like I'm just listening

778
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.840
to I appreciate your opinion. Okay, I'm being respectful. I'm

779
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:40.280
being honoring but my brain I've trained my brain to say it's an

780
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:44.960
opinion. It's not truth. It's an opinion. So you know, you're a

781
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:47.600
loser. I appreciate your opinion. I appreciate how you

782
00:46:47.640 --> 00:46:53.840
could how you could feel that way. Not in your brain, you're

783
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:56.960
screaming, that's that's not my perspective. That's not God's

784
00:46:56.960 --> 00:47:00.880
perspective. You can be silently, you know, the shield

785
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:05.840
is up, but you're appreciate your opinion. Thanks for a good

786
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.560
one. It's a good one to have in your pocket, Colette, because,

787
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.840
you know, when you've been someone that is been in the lane

788
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:15.960
of pleasing others, and you stop, you get out of that lane,

789
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:18.720
they want to get you back in that lane. And so that is a

790
00:47:18.720 --> 00:47:22.880
good kind of a stopper for them is to appreciate your opinion,

791
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.640
because they think they've been hurt. And you're going to do

792
00:47:24.640 --> 00:47:28.760
what they just said, but that's not the intention. But it just

793
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:32.640
quells all of the things in your brain and in that there's and

794
00:47:32.640 --> 00:47:34.920
you just can motor forward.

795
00:47:35.240 --> 00:47:38.560
Oh, good. You you also brought up something really important,

796
00:47:38.560 --> 00:47:43.880
Colette about not defending yourself. We don't need to we

797
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.840
don't need to change their opinion or their perspective.

798
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:52.800
And the fact is, what is the saying a person convinced

799
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:56.360
against his will is a person that remains convinced still,

800
00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:01.560
right? It's like, you're not going to more words, more

801
00:48:01.560 --> 00:48:05.200
talking, more emotion, more pleading, more crying, more

802
00:48:05.200 --> 00:48:09.520
persuading is not going to change them. The only thing that

803
00:48:09.520 --> 00:48:12.640
will change is when they arrive at a different conclusion

804
00:48:12.640 --> 00:48:17.080
through their own experience and journey. So when I

805
00:48:17.080 --> 00:48:20.440
appreciate, I appreciate your opinion on that. I appreciate

806
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:25.440
your perspective on that. I am not going to try to correct

807
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.280
them. It's like, I tell you, I go to San Francisco with

808
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:36.080
Michael, and he is a Christian counselor. And so he's, he's

809
00:48:36.080 --> 00:48:41.680
just a seer, he just sees into stuff. And he'll he said

810
00:48:41.680 --> 00:48:45.320
something yesterday, he said, there's people that don't really

811
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:48.320
know me that thing. He's got a sailor's mouth. So I'll try to

812
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:54.080
tailor that think I'm an a hole. And he and that's okay. That's

813
00:48:54.080 --> 00:48:56.440
what they think about me. And they'll tell you that I am. And

814
00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:59.000
there's the people that know me really well that think I'm just

815
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.240
an amazing person. And that's okay, too. Like, I don't have to

816
00:49:03.240 --> 00:49:08.000
change what people think about me. I don't. That's, I've said

817
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:12.760
that in order to be successful, we have to unhitch from from

818
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:16.480
the opinions of others, literally, like unhitch, like

819
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:20.960
the hitch trailer hitch, you have to unhitch, you will not go

820
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:26.400
forward until you can unhitch from the opinions of others. And

821
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:32.440
that means their praise, and their criticism. And I always

822
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:36.240
say the same people that were praising Jesus, they were taking

823
00:49:36.240 --> 00:49:39.040
off their coats and putting it on the ground for him to walk

824
00:49:39.040 --> 00:49:42.880
on and blessed be the one that comes in the name of the Lord,

825
00:49:43.040 --> 00:49:48.000
praising him. Many of those, I believe, were in the audience a

826
00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:54.000
week later saying crucify him, crucify him. And I remember when

827
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:59.800
my son first got online with his streetwear design, and he he

828
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:00.080
just

829
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.280
did popularity wise what most of us wish he just went straight to like people just loving

830
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:14.160
him and just millions of views and he just and I saw and I said son just want to remind

831
00:50:14.160 --> 00:50:19.640
you don't get too attached to that the same people that are letting you today they will

832
00:50:19.640 --> 00:50:24.680
criticize you and go against you tomorrow don't get attached to the praise or the criticism

833
00:50:24.680 --> 00:50:29.640
learn from the criticism say thank you for the praise give God the glory for the praise

834
00:50:29.640 --> 00:50:35.680
do not be attached to those you unhitch and so that's why I say we can look at them and

835
00:50:35.680 --> 00:50:42.560
say I appreciate your opinion but in my mind I'm going and that's what it is it's an opinion

836
00:50:42.560 --> 00:50:46.440
and you hi everybody's got a right to opinion and there's 50 million opinions I could go

837
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:50.860
on the street right now and get 50 million opinions about that you could go to 50 people

838
00:50:50.860 --> 00:50:55.520
you know and get 50 opinions about who you are Linda and I just gave you very good opinions

839
00:50:55.520 --> 00:51:03.920
today but you know but you get it right there's still opinions right all right I got to go

840
00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:10.560
this one okay you a lk all right thank you thank you bye ladies bye bye
