1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.220
And welcome, welcome, welcome to Office Hours.

2
00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:09.220
Welcome back.

3
00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:15.180
Most of you, we just came from powerful session in Build Like Jesus, and we're going to continue

4
00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:16.180
on in.

5
00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:21.420
But for any of you that may be joining or listening to this by itself, Office Hours

6
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:28.260
is where I've just chosen to make myself available to work on what matters to you.

7
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:30.900
So this is the place you can bring your questions.

8
00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:34.340
You can bring things to look at.

9
00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:41.140
This can be the place that you ask feedback from your other Prosper Sisters.

10
00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:42.700
You can ask questions.

11
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:45.260
We can co-work on something.

12
00:00:45.260 --> 00:00:50.380
So there isn't as formalized as a structure.

13
00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:56.540
Now, what I like to do is ask if there's anything you specifically want to work on.

14
00:00:56.540 --> 00:01:04.540
And then if there's not, I'm going to always have a plan to keep on going and apply, roll

15
00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:07.980
up our sleeves and apply what we just did.

16
00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:16.780
So in the Build Like Jesus, we just got done talking about Know Your Sheep, and it was

17
00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:25.900
such a beautiful way that Jesus knows his sheep and how we can apply that to the people

18
00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:27.860
we're called to serve.

19
00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:33.740
So we're going to pick up where we left off, but I'm first going to the conversation before

20
00:01:33.740 --> 00:01:37.220
the conversation is always so good and so juicy.

21
00:01:37.220 --> 00:01:46.580
And so the conversation before I push record, which Linda made a great point that I don't

22
00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:51.740
always talk about this and people may not realize the journey.

23
00:01:51.740 --> 00:01:58.980
Most of you that are called to write books, and this fits right along with knowing your

24
00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:01.100
sheep and knowing what they need.

25
00:02:01.100 --> 00:02:04.940
So I said, wait, let's stop this conversation.

26
00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:09.580
Let me turn on the record button and let's talk about this.

27
00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:15.660
So Linda, you want to give a little background and Collette, if you're willing to share that

28
00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:21.380
this will help everyone when we're talking about a book.

29
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:25.980
What is it that we're realizing and that we need to know when we're writing the book?

30
00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:33.420
Well, so Collette has written this brilliant manuscript and it has so much impactful information

31
00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:34.420
in it.

32
00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:39.260
However, the writing style is one that I told her, I don't know how digestible that would

33
00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:45.140
be for your intended audience, which was, you know, new Christians, right?

34
00:02:45.140 --> 00:02:48.060
So they need the baby food, not the seven course meal.

35
00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:53.260
And so in the process of starting off editing the first chapter and Collette's like, well,

36
00:02:53.260 --> 00:02:57.420
my last writing was like dissertation style and that's kind of what I'm used to.

37
00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:02.700
Why do I need to write like an online post?

38
00:03:02.700 --> 00:03:09.620
And so, you know, I referenced that you have, you know, who've published your book had like

39
00:03:09.620 --> 00:03:15.180
the last version number I saw was like 20 and you said maybe more than that.

40
00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:18.980
So I just would love for you to share like your process that you went through because

41
00:03:18.980 --> 00:03:22.940
I think that those of us who do feel called to write parts of our story or all of our

42
00:03:22.940 --> 00:03:25.940
story don't necessarily have that insight.

43
00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:26.940
Awesome.

44
00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:27.940
Thank you.

45
00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:30.140
It's a great, great question.

46
00:03:30.140 --> 00:03:35.500
And thank you, Collette, letting us be able to talk about this.

47
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:43.980
So editing itself and I worked with a publisher and I worked with amazing editors and Linda

48
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:45.780
is one of the editors.

49
00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:48.140
She's quite brilliant at editing.

50
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:49.580
She doesn't miss anything.

51
00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:55.180
I'm telling you, not a period, not a dotting a T. She's we call her eagle eye.

52
00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:59.060
And so she was in this process every step of the way.

53
00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:03.180
I also worked with a man named Steve, who's another eagle eye.

54
00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:07.380
And then I had several others and I did pre-readers and all of that.

55
00:04:07.380 --> 00:04:10.180
So general editing.

56
00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:19.700
And so the way it went for me is I spent honestly, before it ever started to even be a book,

57
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:26.980
I worked with a really brilliant writing coach who had me do so much pre-work like what we

58
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:29.780
just did in Know Your Sheep.

59
00:04:29.780 --> 00:04:36.460
Like who exactly is reading this book and what is the transformation when they start

60
00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:39.740
the book and what are they coming to the book with?

61
00:04:39.820 --> 00:04:43.340
What pains, what problems, what challenges, what desires?

62
00:04:43.340 --> 00:04:47.900
And by the time they finish the book, what did they experience?

63
00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:55.580
Especially if we're talking, in my case, it was really a cross, it was a hybrid between

64
00:04:55.580 --> 00:05:00.060
my story, biography or memoir and personal growth.

65
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.640
growth, spiritual growth.

66
00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:07.080
So what is the transformation?

67
00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:09.480
And you have to know that before you write.

68
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:15.760
And she actually had me write the first and the last chapter.

69
00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:19.800
And I actually had to write three last chapters

70
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.520
for my book, three different endings

71
00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:24.440
to force you to go all the way.

72
00:05:24.440 --> 00:05:26.320
So I really went through a lot of work

73
00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:29.240
before I ever even started writing.

74
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.720
Lots of work.

75
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:37.800
And so then when I got to writing the book,

76
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.560
the first thing that happened is I

77
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.960
think most of you that know me have figured out

78
00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:43.960
I'm a teacher in the body of Christ.

79
00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:46.800
So I just taught, taught, taught, taught, taught.

80
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.920
I just poured out everything I know in this book.

81
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.080
And it was 300 pages.

82
00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:56.440
And to my angst, the publisher, who's

83
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.520
got 40 years experience publishing,

84
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.240
said, you've got a choice.

85
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.760
You can leave it at 300 pages, or you

86
00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:07.480
can get it under 100 pages.

87
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.320
If you leave it at 300 pages, it's going to sit on shelves

88
00:06:11.320 --> 00:06:13.720
and nobody's going to read it, or very few people

89
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.240
are going to read it.

90
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:20.560
If it's 100 pages, it's going to end up in every ministry group

91
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.560
and every recovery group.

92
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.800
And women are going to read it all the way through.

93
00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:28.680
And in fact, they're going to reread it.

94
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.280
Well, that was hard.

95
00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:33.280
And there's a literary term of you

96
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:35.320
have to be willing to kill the baby,

97
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:38.480
meaning you can't be attached to your baby, your writing.

98
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.920
You have to be willing to let go.

99
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.320
And I mean, there was some great stories from my book.

100
00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:45.760
Like there's a story when I'm a kid

101
00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:49.360
and my parents forced me to eat escargot snails.

102
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.800
This story was so rich and so good.

103
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.240
I was attached to that story.

104
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.560
It had a good application and everything.

105
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:56.800
Had to kill the baby.

106
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.040
Couldn't tell you the story about escargots.

107
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.880
And it was a good story, trust me.

108
00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:02.120
It'll come somewhere.

109
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:07.840
So there was like cutting 200 pages was intense.

110
00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:10.840
And then I thought I had written it.

111
00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:17.120
However, another change was that it was teaching

112
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.160
and it wasn't sensory storytelling that

113
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.600
pulls their heart and their emotions

114
00:07:24.640 --> 00:07:27.600
and they can't wait to read the next page.

115
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:28.760
It was teaching.

116
00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:32.280
And in a book, a lot of times teaching can become,

117
00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:35.200
without story, can become blah, blah, blah.

118
00:07:35.200 --> 00:07:37.360
And we can be attached to it, but to them

119
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.000
it can become blah, blah, blah.

120
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.680
It tires the brain.

121
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.560
Jesus always taught in stories.

122
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.440
We're talking about build like Jesus.

123
00:07:44.440 --> 00:07:46.360
Jesus always taught in stories.

124
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.280
So I had to go through and rewrite all of the teaching

125
00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:54.040
and bring it into story form so that people would really

126
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:55.360
relate.

127
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.400
So that happened.

128
00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:01.760
And realized, because I realized only the first chapter

129
00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:02.680
was story based.

130
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.400
It's when I tell the story about my encounter

131
00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:08.840
with the Holy Spirit and discovering the slave woman.

132
00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:11.440
So I was like, that's so intense.

133
00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:13.520
And then the rest is just talking.

134
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:16.920
So that all was a complete rewrite.

135
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.680
And then it really hit me.

136
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.200
The slave woman really needs to be in every part,

137
00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:27.440
every chapter, not just in the first chapter.

138
00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:30.640
And so now I had to rewrite to include the slave woman.

139
00:08:30.640 --> 00:08:32.760
So I'm taking you on the journey.

140
00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:35.280
But all of this is exactly what we're

141
00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:38.200
talking about in build like Jesus,

142
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:42.039
in that it has to be digestible.

143
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.560
It has to pull them in, has to be memorable.

144
00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:47.680
Will they remember your book?

145
00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:50.360
And will they want to read it all the way through?

146
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.000
Are you creating shelf help or self-help?

147
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.440
And will they read it all the way through?

148
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.360
And will they love it so much that they

149
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.240
want to go back and read it again?

150
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.280
It's a whole different kind of writing.

151
00:09:03.280 --> 00:09:04.080
Is that helpful?

152
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.640
Does that answer the question?

153
00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:10.880
Do any of you have any questions about that?

154
00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:12.400
Since that was the first question that

155
00:09:12.400 --> 00:09:14.880
was brought to the table, I think we should address it.

156
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:18.520
Anybody writing, anybody have questions about that at all?

157
00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:19.760
Just go right ahead, Collette.

158
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:21.960
Yeah, yeah.

159
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.280
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that,

160
00:09:24.280 --> 00:09:28.400
because sometimes it feels like that is so deep in your gut.

161
00:09:28.400 --> 00:09:30.280
It's hard to share.

162
00:09:30.280 --> 00:09:33.040
It's so personal when you write, like you said.

163
00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:35.440
And then you had to do these other things.

164
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.360
It's so hard to say that out loud sometimes.

165
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.920
And most of you know that I come from way back,

166
00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:45.480
farther than Amanda and some others.

167
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.280
And the way we were taught was so disciplined.

168
00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:50.040
Even your handwriting.

169
00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:52.480
I remember one day, I could not leave school

170
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.720
because the teacher did not like the way

171
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.280
I had written a capital W. So I had to sit there in my chair

172
00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:00.120
until the W.

173
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.880
you on my paper look like the one on the wall. So I'm kind of still living in that strict

174
00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:14.000
disciplinary education style. And then I became a teacher. But I think I was a pretty fun teacher

175
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.040
because I taught middle school and I think I made it interesting. But in what I wrote,

176
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:24.000
I believe that it does sound like a teacher. I think Linda might agree. Some of the teacher

177
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.840
comes through there. Maybe all of it. She's loving it. Yeah. Yeah. Linda's a teacher and

178
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:34.960
she's a great teacher. She saw. She probably saw the teacher coming out of me. But one thing I want

179
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:42.960
to say about Linda, if she doesn't mind, is that her brilliance is in editing and writing. And I

180
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:48.080
have an English background too. You know, I could have taught English. I have an English background

181
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:53.200
too because I love the language. But her brilliance, in my opinion, is that she has

182
00:10:53.200 --> 00:11:00.400
the ability not to mix her emotions into what she's doing. And so many women are, like me

183
00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:07.360
sometimes, tied up with like, I am attached to my manuscript. And she has the ability to look

184
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.040
through something logically. She doesn't put her emotions in it. And you can say, well, I don't

185
00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:17.920
really care for this. And she doesn't get upset. She'll just go back and say, well, let's look at

186
00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:23.280
it. Yeah. And I appreciate that so much about her because you work with a lot of women. You

187
00:11:23.280 --> 00:11:28.480
probably understand what I'm saying. The first time you say, I don't think that's good. Oh, well,

188
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:36.160
see you later. Or they convince you why you absolutely have to do it their way. Right. So

189
00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:40.800
that's a good lesson all the way as what we're talking about in Build Like Jesus.

190
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:49.680
We have to truly hear our people and be willing. So, for example, and this is not about writing,

191
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:58.400
but it fits. I had a woman that I had a call with, and she had just was on her last month

192
00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:08.160
of a year long coaching with somebody. And she was teaching the coherence, the mind heart.

193
00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:15.600
And that was her passion. And the person had forced her for 12 months to be online,

194
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:22.000
doing a live every single day for those 12 months. She hated every part of it. She hated

195
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:28.480
social media. She hated going live. She hated. And so now just think about you're teaching mind,

196
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:34.320
heart coherence, and you're getting on a platform that you hate and you're doing something that you

197
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:43.120
hate. And but that person was so stuck of knowing one way. And I ended up having to talk to her

198
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:47.200
husband to get permission for her to hire yet another coach because she had just finished

199
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.280
a coach for a year and it didn't go so well. She didn't get a single client from that year.

200
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.560
So I ended up talking to her husband and my thoughts and what I was going to recommend.

201
00:12:56.560 --> 00:13:01.600
And her husband said, if you could do that, you're hired. And so I ended up being the coach.

202
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.920
And the first thing I did was pull her offline. She doesn't need to be online. We're going to

203
00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:12.480
build a completely offline. She's an in-person networker. So all that to say, this all fits in

204
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:19.200
the same thing, whether you're writing, you're speaking, you're teaching, you're guest speaking,

205
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:26.000
everything you're doing is starting with this pillar zero that we just did and build like Jesus,

206
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:34.160
which is know your sheep. So who's reading? Is it PhD students that I want to devour a

207
00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:40.480
dissertation? Is that your audience? Is it super busy Christian women that aren't even in the

208
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:45.840
habit of reading and are going to try to steal away a few minutes every morning in between kids

209
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:56.320
and spilled coffee and donuts or whatever, and read like knowing where they act. And so you're

210
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:02.320
coming at this again, serving, whether it's in book or it's in coaching or it's in membership,

211
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:10.880
this principle applies the same. So now write the book, not from your perspective, right? So I always

212
00:14:10.880 --> 00:14:18.720
give the example on a phone. You've got the camera. Okay. So is the camera pointed me? That's

213
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:26.160
not how I was taught. That's not how I do a book. That's not what I want to do. That's not what I

214
00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:32.960
think. Or is it pointing at your audience? Wow. You're a busy mom. You're tired. You don't have

215
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:39.520
time. How could I cut this from 50 sentences to five and have it completely changed your life

216
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:48.960
not show off how great my writing is? Do you know, I was actually embarrassed. I'll be real and raw

217
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:55.840
with you. I was embarrassed when my book came in the mail. I'm like, like I'm an educated woman,

218
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.920
higher education, right? I've got 35 years experience.

219
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.320
And it's this thick.

220
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:03.760
It's like this.

221
00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:06.520
I was embarrassed.

222
00:15:06.520 --> 00:15:08.520
But I had to put that aside.

223
00:15:08.520 --> 00:15:10.540
This is not about my ego.

224
00:15:10.540 --> 00:15:13.720
It's about how many lives can I change.

225
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.480
And you know what?

226
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:17.080
The most common thing people came back and said,

227
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.200
which I found out later is the greatest thing an author can

228
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.680
hear, is they say, I not only read your book,

229
00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:26.460
I'm going to go back and read it again.

230
00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:28.040
I'm going to do the questions.

231
00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:32.220
And the second most common thing, I cried.

232
00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:33.060
You touched me.

233
00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:36.020
I saw myself in your story.

234
00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:42.660
OK, if Jesus had to come from being God and be a man,

235
00:15:42.660 --> 00:15:48.420
I can come from some egotistical thick book that's a dissertation

236
00:15:48.420 --> 00:15:52.300
and I can come say, this is what my sheep need.

237
00:15:52.300 --> 00:15:53.780
You feel me?

238
00:15:53.780 --> 00:15:55.180
Yes.

239
00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:56.540
Is that helpful?

240
00:15:56.540 --> 00:15:57.700
Yes, thank you.

241
00:15:58.180 --> 00:16:00.700
Is that helpful to everybody else as well?

242
00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:03.660
Any questions on this subject?

243
00:16:03.660 --> 00:16:05.820
Let's pick up where we left off.

244
00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:08.580
And let's make sure, first of all, you understand.

245
00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:10.420
And then we can go deeper.

246
00:16:10.420 --> 00:16:14.460
Or if you have an application question where you say, OK,

247
00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:15.700
I'm working on this.

248
00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:18.300
How does Build Like Jesus work with this?

249
00:16:18.300 --> 00:16:19.860
Or how can I change?

250
00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:20.980
Or what do you recommend?

251
00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:22.140
Or what do you do?

252
00:16:22.140 --> 00:16:26.700
This was a pre-question that came in about writing.

253
00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:28.300
But it fits so perfectly.

254
00:16:28.300 --> 00:16:30.700
So thank you, Linda, for bringing that up

255
00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:35.660
and Colette for being willing to share.

256
00:16:35.660 --> 00:16:38.060
Amanda, do I see you unmuting?

257
00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:41.140
Yes, so I do have a question.

258
00:16:41.140 --> 00:16:44.700
And it just comes with a little bit more clarity, which

259
00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:46.820
I kind of thought that I had.

260
00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:51.220
But when you were talking about today with your experience,

261
00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:53.060
what are your gifts?

262
00:16:53.060 --> 00:16:56.580
What do you feel like you're called to serve?

263
00:16:57.460 --> 00:17:01.380
I feel like I have a good connection with my mom.

264
00:17:01.380 --> 00:17:04.300
And I feel like I have a good connection with my mom

265
00:17:04.300 --> 00:17:05.420
and everything like that.

266
00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:11.220
So mine goes back to being a single mom for mom life,

267
00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:14.020
because I'm very passionate with moms.

268
00:17:14.020 --> 00:17:18.740
And I feel like I have a good connection with that.

269
00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:24.859
But I also feel like God's transitioning me

270
00:17:24.859 --> 00:17:27.700
from going into my pre-menopause.

271
00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:30.740
And now I'm really taking care of my health.

272
00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:34.660
And it's more the mind, body, and the spirit.

273
00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:39.820
Now, with the health coaching that I'm in,

274
00:17:39.820 --> 00:17:44.260
there are three tiers are mind, body, finances.

275
00:17:44.260 --> 00:17:52.780
So my question is, am I supposed to be speaking more

276
00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:56.780
for women over 40?

277
00:17:56.780 --> 00:17:57.820
Does that make sense?

278
00:17:57.820 --> 00:17:59.980
Am I coaching this right?

279
00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:03.700
Because I feel like even the women that are over 40,

280
00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:07.300
they're still moms kind of thing.

281
00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:10.540
So I don't want to be broad with just my moms.

282
00:18:10.540 --> 00:18:14.060
But when you ask me, what is my passion,

283
00:18:14.060 --> 00:18:19.740
my first thing is moms, because it's that instant connection.

284
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:21.660
Yes.

285
00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:28.620
I suspect, in your case, that those two can come together.

286
00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:31.660
And so I suspect that when you get

287
00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:35.060
really clear on the problem and the transformation,

288
00:18:35.060 --> 00:18:38.140
it may be similar for both.

289
00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:41.780
And other than as they're older, you're dealing with menopause.

290
00:18:41.780 --> 00:18:44.980
And younger, you're dealing with PMS.

291
00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:50.460
But that could all be tied to women's hormonal changes,

292
00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:55.420
whether they're in PMS or perimenopause or menopause.

293
00:18:55.420 --> 00:19:00.540
So sometimes what's going to happen as you're going forward

294
00:19:00.540 --> 00:19:05.820
is some of this is going to work itself out.

295
00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:08.740
What I mean is start with your passion

296
00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:11.540
and go where you feel called.

297
00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:16.660
And some of it's going to naturally work itself out,

298
00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:19.420
that the women you're going to start noticing,

299
00:19:19.420 --> 00:19:22.940
that the women that are coming, that they have something really

300
00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:27.300
in common or they have a very specific need.

301
00:19:27.300 --> 00:19:30.460
Let me give you an example what I mean by that.

302
00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:34.700
I started out with Prosper and All Things

303
00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:37.620
after my divorce with what I knew

304
00:19:37.620 --> 00:19:39.460
and what I was passionate with.

305
00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:41.540
I started public speaking.

306
00:19:41.540 --> 00:19:43.660
I was even thinking about coaching.

307
00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:45.460
I wasn't planning on being a coach.

308
00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:47.820
It wasn't even in my mind.

309
00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:50.780
My upper education is in counseling,

310
00:19:50.780 --> 00:19:52.780
but I'm purposely not in counseling.

311
00:19:52.780 --> 00:19:54.500
I didn't want to be counseling.

312
00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:58.620
And so I started in one way.

313
00:19:58.620 --> 00:20:00.100
What started to emerge?

314
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.600
urge and I and I wanted to be really like a spiritual mindset coach.

315
00:20:04.800 --> 00:20:09.400
OK, that's where my heart was, not coach speaker, spiritual mindset.

316
00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:14.920
And what happened is as I was speaking, it led to classes and master classes.

317
00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:17.560
And what happened in the master classes is

318
00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:24.040
people started asking me if I would coach them or work with them individually.

319
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.280
And I hadn't even thought about that.

320
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:31.120
And so a lot of times it comes up naturally.

321
00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:36.840
And so the last thing I was thinking about was coaching on business and money.

322
00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:38.880
And yet.

323
00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:41.160
All of these ones that I wanted to do,

324
00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:45.400
the spiritual mindset were coming to me, building businesses that wanted to make

325
00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:49.960
money, and I have thirty five plus years experience.

326
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:55.280
So now it married and prosper in all things.

327
00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:57.720
And so you do it in a way that makes sense.

328
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.480
You bring a framework and we'll teach framework as we go.

329
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.960
You build a framework that brings it all

330
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:10.280
together because I was like, Amanda, OK, I want to teach renewing of the mind

331
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.800
and I am partnering with God.

332
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.480
How am I teaching business and how am I teaching?

333
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.840
Like, how does this fit?

334
00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:22.280
I mean, it seems so scattered and health has been my passion all my life, too.

335
00:21:22.280 --> 00:21:26.040
And it's like I can't be teaching money and health and relationship.

336
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:27.520
I'm going to look so scattered.

337
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:34.240
And God gave me the umbrella of prosper in all things so that you got my definition.

338
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.520
This is what the framework of bringing clarity to what you do.

339
00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:40.000
And we're going to work through this over these weeks.

340
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:41.600
OK, we're just starting.

341
00:21:41.800 --> 00:21:46.040
So part of as you're knowing them, you're going to build a framework.

342
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:49.160
For me, my framework is to prosper system.

343
00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:55.440
OK, so now the end result, I know for me, it's faith based females.

344
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.240
I've got different age groups.

345
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:01.680
I've got some that are 80 and I've got some that are 30.

346
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.680
OK, so age doesn't matter for what I'm

347
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:11.400
particularly doing, but they're faith based female entrepreneurs.

348
00:22:11.600 --> 00:22:16.040
OK, although some men just joined and I don't know what to do with that.

349
00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:17.760
OK, but

350
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:25.240
so the framework now was the end result, whether you're reading this book or

351
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.640
you're going through my program, the end result that I'm very clear on is total

352
00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:34.760
soul prosperity. Name on my sub stack, name of my book,

353
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.080
which comes from third John to what does that mean?

354
00:22:38.280 --> 00:22:45.120
My goal for you and my understanding of your needs is that.

355
00:22:45.280 --> 00:22:50.200
Prosper right, that you will prosper spiritually.

356
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.120
Is that really important to you to prosper spiritually?

357
00:22:54.320 --> 00:22:56.760
You will prosper financially.

358
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.120
Is that really important to you? Yes.

359
00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:01.280
You will prosper physically.

360
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.960
Is that really important to you?

361
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.800
You will prosper in all your relationships.

362
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.400
OK, I've got a very clear definition.

363
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:12.760
I could pull every one of you to the front and you would say, yes,

364
00:23:12.760 --> 00:23:16.440
I know the heart of my woman, but you see how clear it is.

365
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.320
And then it's in a framework that they can understand.

366
00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:20.520
They can repeat.

367
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:22.640
I'm about total soul prosperity.

368
00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.600
I want you to prosper spiritually,

369
00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:27.120
financially, physically and in all your relationships.

370
00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:28.320
I can repeat that.

371
00:23:28.520 --> 00:23:29.560
It's duplicatable.

372
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:32.560
And the way I do that is through the prosper system.

373
00:23:32.760 --> 00:23:35.280
P.R.O.S.P.E.R.

374
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:37.720
And every one of those,

375
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.000
we've worked through it and everything that we do, you know, is partner with God.

376
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:48.360
Right. So do you see that what you're doing can bring it all together in a framework?

377
00:23:48.560 --> 00:23:54.360
And so I think you can keep that together and know now the second thing I want

378
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:59.720
to address that you said is and it's typical for a network marketing company.

379
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.200
And when I was founder of a network

380
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.640
marketing company, you had people coming in two avenues.

381
00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:09.440
OK, you had people coming in from a product health standpoint and they were

382
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.160
maybe retail customers, they weren't coming in for the money.

383
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.560
They were coming in because they wanted to lose weight or whatever.

384
00:24:14.760 --> 00:24:16.120
Right. In your case.

385
00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:21.080
And you had people that came in from the business, the financial

386
00:24:21.280 --> 00:24:25.520
that they wanted to make money from home, they wanted to stay home with their kids.

387
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.000
And so they came in from the money, came to love the products.

388
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.280
They came in from the products, came to understand there's a great opportunity.

389
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.480
They'll come in from two different doors, but you're going the same way.

390
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:42.040
In my case, I'm going the same way wherever you're coming in from business,

391
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.000
from mindset, from spiritual, we're going to total soul prosperity.

392
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.240
Does that help you kind of feel that?

393
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:55.080
Yeah, yeah, because because I do feel that I feel like it ties all in together.

394
00:24:55.080 --> 00:24:58.200
And that's why I'm like, I don't want to make it overcomplicated.

395
00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.960
But with my post and my.

396
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.920
Content. Yeah that that's what I'm asking like if it should if I should talk about more of

397
00:25:06.540 --> 00:25:09.740
You know your body's changing and this is for the woman

398
00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:14.500
That's you know over 40 now and you're not the same in your 20s and your 30s and you know

399
00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:21.240
Like speak that language so they understand and then you know bring a little bit of mom into it

400
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:27.320
But not focus so much on mom. So for the people you've attracted so far

401
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:32.360
What age group are they in you're you're already started you're already building a team

402
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:40.060
What what's that woman like they're over 40. Okay, so that's where I said, it's going to start

403
00:25:41.060 --> 00:25:46.900
Defining itself. Okay, you're gonna start seeing that you're not gonna turn away the moms

404
00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:52.500
You're gonna talk about being a mom and if they're over 40, they might be grandmoms. They may have daughters that they're bringing in

405
00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:59.600
Um, so I started seeing my demographics. I told you how I've taught you how to study your analytics

406
00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:02.120
on on it and

407
00:26:02.820 --> 00:26:07.520
My analytics my women are quite a bit older that are attracted

408
00:26:07.560 --> 00:26:15.120
they're all over 50 for the most probably 45 and a huge portion are over 60 and

409
00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:22.320
That was surprising. And so your analytics are gonna start telling you who's coming and now

410
00:26:22.520 --> 00:26:29.000
We follow the principle. I know my sheep. Wow. This says that 40% are over 60

411
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:34.880
I need to really pay attention to the needs of a woman over 60. What are her needs financially?

412
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.120
What are her needs physically? So that makes sense. So some of this because you're brand new in business

413
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:43.240
It's gonna come to life. I

414
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:50.080
Didn't when I came in I didn't plan to be a coach. I didn't plan right so

415
00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:58.340
Nicole says don't limit the terminology to over 40. I have friends 37 to 39 that are having pre-med

416
00:26:58.340 --> 00:26:59.060
Yes

417
00:26:59.060 --> 00:27:06.060
Right now the way the condition out there is the perimenopause and premenopause is hitting way younger

418
00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:10.980
Than normal. So good point. Thank you. See how the feedback from your sisters

419
00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:15.900
I'm finding that it's happening younger and younger because of the diet the hormones all that stuff

420
00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:18.380
Okay, so right now

421
00:27:18.560 --> 00:27:22.480
You're you're doing good what you're doing it's working you're bringing

422
00:27:22.820 --> 00:27:27.240
We're gonna serve them with all our heart and as we go forward Amanda

423
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:33.280
We're gonna start putting a framework so that you can explain it in a way that they they get it

424
00:27:33.560 --> 00:27:35.560
They get does it make sense?

425
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:41.520
Yeah. Yeah, I just needed to hear it. I knew it in my head. But again, I just kind of needed

426
00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:46.080
Okay, it out there and to hear it. Well, if you have the question, so do a lot of people

427
00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:50.180
So thank you for being bold and asking and that's what I say to all of you

428
00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:53.900
If you have a question someone else has that same question, I promise so

429
00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:56.100
Bring the questions

430
00:27:56.100 --> 00:28:00.860
Everybody wins. Okay. So do you feel you feel complete you feel like that's answered?

431
00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:04.880
Yes. Thank you. Okay, beautiful. You're welcome. All right

432
00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:07.460
Who else?

433
00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:09.640
Anybody else have questions before we?

434
00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:13.340
Thank you. Okay, come on down Nicole

435
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:19.200
It's kind of I guess a long similar mindset to Amanda and that

436
00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:21.960
well, as

437
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:24.860
as you know, I have this calling of what I

438
00:28:26.760 --> 00:28:30.280
Have been focused on as far as for the business transformation details

439
00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:34.560
But with everything that I've been going through with the family affairs

440
00:28:35.560 --> 00:28:39.560
I'm getting more and more called to doing that

441
00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:43.740
Like trustee details also, it's been

442
00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:48.660
Pretty fascinating to me. How many people keep asking me for?

443
00:28:49.380 --> 00:28:55.060
You know tips and help with that and the coaching with that. So now I'm feeling like mine are two

444
00:28:55.940 --> 00:29:02.740
Different streams. Yeah, you know and so I mean ultimately it's still very much

445
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:10.840
It's all definitely me and my brain and obviously there's skills that are helping me with one and the other but

446
00:29:11.800 --> 00:29:15.320
but since they're kind of and one I'm doing with with

447
00:29:16.040 --> 00:29:20.600
A friend and then the other one is all me. So I'm just I'm kind of torn

448
00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:23.320
Where to focus my?

449
00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:28.120
There's there's a couple ways to do this. Okay, I

450
00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:31.320
Have clients in in different circumstances

451
00:29:31.340 --> 00:29:34.780
So one way to do it is to find the intersection

452
00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:37.340
So what's the transformation?

453
00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:42.460
That is true in in both sides. So let's say that I

454
00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:45.180
brought the commonality as

455
00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:51.660
Financial peace financial security and it involves having trust there

456
00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:59.660
They might be a business owner, but it involves having trust and it involves like getting, you know

457
00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:01.920
It

458
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.040
you know, your life or your business in order,

459
00:30:02.040 --> 00:30:06.600
using your skills of really organizing these things.

460
00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:10.280
So one way to do is to merge them and find,

461
00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:12.460
and that's kind of what we just did with Amanda,

462
00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:16.860
what's common between the moms and that, that's one way.

463
00:30:16.860 --> 00:30:21.460
The other way, and I like it less,

464
00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:25.940
but it's doable, is to have a split track.

465
00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:28.900
And so like, I'm thinking about one of my clients

466
00:30:28.980 --> 00:30:33.980
that her main bread and butter was,

467
00:30:34.080 --> 00:30:38.280
she was doing the books for large ministries for churches,

468
00:30:38.280 --> 00:30:40.620
and she's still wanting to bring in more and doing good.

469
00:30:40.620 --> 00:30:41.860
It was her big money.

470
00:30:41.860 --> 00:30:46.860
Her passion was to help young moms with financial literacy.

471
00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:49.960
And she didn't want to let go of either.

472
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.300
And so, okay, we won't.

473
00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:55.140
And we actually, Linda, were you there during then?

474
00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:56.260
Do you remember the website?

475
00:30:56.260 --> 00:30:58.780
And we designed it into two, or was that before you?

476
00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:03.580
I don't know, but anyway, so we designed the website

477
00:31:03.580 --> 00:31:05.180
and there was like two windows.

478
00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:08.220
Are you a church or a large ministry?

479
00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:09.440
Are you a mom?

480
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:12.740
But the whole thing was financial.

481
00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:15.540
We tied it to the results that they want,

482
00:31:15.540 --> 00:31:18.740
but there was two entryways, two paths.

483
00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:21.060
You know, the more you split like that,

484
00:31:21.060 --> 00:31:25.900
the more work and confusing and hard and all of that it is.

485
00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:30.900
So my preference was I didn't want to have,

486
00:31:31.780 --> 00:31:33.500
you know, a financial coaching

487
00:31:33.500 --> 00:31:35.620
and a mindset coaching in a house.

488
00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:38.300
Like I wanted to bring it all together.

489
00:31:38.300 --> 00:31:43.300
And that's my first preference is let's look.

490
00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:46.180
And nowadays you guys can really play

491
00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:48.980
with AI asking questions.

492
00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:53.900
And so the question would be, the prompt would be,

493
00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:55.620
I have these skills.

494
00:31:56.300 --> 00:31:57.540
This is my background.

495
00:31:57.540 --> 00:32:02.540
I have these two type of clients and things I can do.

496
00:32:03.300 --> 00:32:04.780
I don't want to be scattered.

497
00:32:04.780 --> 00:32:06.980
I want to build one business.

498
00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:10.420
What would be the overlap between or the cross?

499
00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:12.220
I really see like the three circles

500
00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:14.180
if you were going to draw this, right?

501
00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:17.100
So you've got the circle of your skills

502
00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:20.540
and the circle of the business owners and the circle.

503
00:32:20.540 --> 00:32:23.460
And it's all, where does it intersect in the middle?

504
00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:26.580
Which, what are those charts called anyway?

505
00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:30.180
But in the middle is that common thing,

506
00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:32.540
the finance and what they all want.

507
00:32:32.540 --> 00:32:34.420
The one getting the trust want

508
00:32:34.420 --> 00:32:36.300
and the one that has a business wants

509
00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:39.220
and who knows anybody else, a young mom might want,

510
00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:41.460
but it's under thank you, a Venn diagram.

511
00:32:41.460 --> 00:32:42.940
Colette, the teacher showed up.

512
00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:43.980
Thank you.

513
00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.820
Okay.

514
00:32:44.820 --> 00:32:46.980
I was going to be a race between Linda and Colette.

515
00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:48.780
Who's going to help me with these words?

516
00:32:48.780 --> 00:32:49.620
Yeah.

517
00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:51.900
So you've got like this Venn diagram.

518
00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:52.940
Do you know what I'm talking about?

519
00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:54.300
I do.

520
00:32:54.300 --> 00:32:56.020
I can visualize what you were saying.

521
00:32:56.020 --> 00:32:56.860
Yes.

522
00:32:56.860 --> 00:32:58.620
I would create the Venn diagram

523
00:32:58.620 --> 00:33:01.900
and I would spend some time just pouring out.

524
00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:05.900
And I would pour out the things that you love,

525
00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:07.380
the things that you're gifted at,

526
00:33:07.380 --> 00:33:08.940
the things that you have experienced,

527
00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:12.100
the things that you tend to be attracting people to.

528
00:33:12.100 --> 00:33:12.940
What are they asking?

529
00:33:12.940 --> 00:33:13.780
What are they wanting?

530
00:33:13.780 --> 00:33:15.540
What are you skilled at doing?

531
00:33:15.540 --> 00:33:18.460
And let's find the overlap because going forward,

532
00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:19.980
we're going to create a framework.

533
00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:22.140
Same thing that I'm saying to each,

534
00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:23.980
to Amanda, to everybody.

535
00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:28.780
The next step after you have a pretty good sense

536
00:33:28.780 --> 00:33:32.460
of the area that you're working in and you're serving

537
00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:35.660
is if we have to bring different people that we're serving,

538
00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:37.980
we can bring them together under a framework.

539
00:33:39.620 --> 00:33:41.220
Does that make sense?

540
00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:44.820
That's how I can have a 40 year old

541
00:33:44.820 --> 00:33:48.300
and an 80 year old and be totally happy

542
00:33:48.300 --> 00:33:50.500
because the framework fits across.

543
00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:53.060
But I'm not bouncing all over.

544
00:33:53.060 --> 00:33:55.540
I'm speaking the same message and I'm clear.

545
00:33:56.500 --> 00:33:59.700
And I'm using my skills and I'm using my passions

546
00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:02.700
and I'm very clear on the needs in the marketplace.

547
00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:07.340
And I'm refining it that I know what the now problem is

548
00:34:07.340 --> 00:34:08.699
for people in general.

549
00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:11.620
And then I get to know it for each client.

550
00:34:11.620 --> 00:34:14.580
Those questions we did earlier in Build Like Jesus,

551
00:34:14.580 --> 00:34:18.580
I'm actually doing those always, always asking those

552
00:34:19.580 --> 00:34:22.300
so that I can answer that of each person.

553
00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:24.100
I know exactly all my clients.

554
00:34:24.100 --> 00:34:26.420
I know where they are, what they're struggling,

555
00:34:26.420 --> 00:34:29.780
what they desire, what hasn't worked, what works,

556
00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:32.860
what their passion is, what their vision is.

557
00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:35.900
This is why I do a business breakthrough first

558
00:34:35.900 --> 00:34:37.620
with clients as the first.

559
00:34:37.620 --> 00:34:40.500
I know their vision, even if they didn't know their vision,

560
00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:43.460
we come up with the vision, right?

561
00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:46.500
So that clarity works for you to coach

562
00:34:46.500 --> 00:34:49.020
and works for them to step into the fullness

563
00:34:49.020 --> 00:34:50.219
of what they want.

564
00:34:51.460 --> 00:34:54.739
Okay, does that, do you feel, does that help you?

565
00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:55.580
Yes.

566
00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:56.659
I think the answer for you

567
00:34:56.659 --> 00:34:58.340
is the intersection between those.

568
00:34:58.340 --> 00:34:59.900
That's what I feel in my heart.

569
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.520
Okay, good. And so now all that requires, once you know what that intersection is,

570
00:35:08.720 --> 00:35:17.760
then it just requires naming it and labeling it. Right? That's what it requires. It might be a

571
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:25.840
brand new name. I'm fascinated when God had Adam and let Adam name every one of the animals. And

572
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:30.160
that's kind of what we're doing in a business. We're naming programs, we're naming products,

573
00:35:30.160 --> 00:35:40.880
we're naming services, we're naming things. Right? And that, it has life then. And so we find that

574
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:46.320
the characteristics of the intersection are, it involves, you know, money and finance and

575
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:52.160
security and peace and blah, blah, blah, and organization. Now we give that a name,

576
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:59.360
like Total Soul Prosperity. I've named it something. I can tell you, and I've defined

577
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:06.160
it. And I repeat the definition throughout. I don't just say a word, Total Soul Prosperity,

578
00:36:06.160 --> 00:36:12.080
and assume we all know. You'll notice right from the first chapter, I define what Total Soul,

579
00:36:12.080 --> 00:36:16.320
same thing for you. You're going to define this. You're going to give it a name and define it.

580
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:28.800
Does that help you? Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. Anyone else? We just kind of got off on a side

581
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:34.000
and we'll keep going. Rhonda, are you raising your hand? Yeah. Okay. Come on down. I love it.

582
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:42.880
Okay. She's our founder, prosper leader. I'm so proud. Okay. I need this. I'm so glad to be here.

583
00:36:43.680 --> 00:36:48.720
Um, I don't even, honestly, I'm not even sure what the right questions are. So I'm just going to

584
00:36:48.720 --> 00:36:55.280
like throw it out there. So initially when we were starting, who's my real person,

585
00:36:56.480 --> 00:37:03.520
I was struggling with that, um, because I do feel disconnected. So I, I just went ahead and

586
00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:09.760
use my husband. And I know one of the things, cause I have a lot of different offerings. And

587
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.720
I know one of the things he'll, he'll say stuff like, well, it's too complicated. Well,

588
00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:22.800
I think it's all for women. Well, um, which I don't think it is. I, well, that's his perspective,

589
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:30.160
but, but, um, but I'll just say, yeah, that's really great feedback for someone like you're

590
00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:42.720
saying who wants an immediate, um, outcome, you know, not, you know, 30 days of an hour

591
00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:46.480
or something like that, which I think that's probably where a lot of people are going to fit

592
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:56.080
initially. So as you were talking though, I went in cause I've been around a long time doing this.

593
00:37:56.160 --> 00:38:04.080
So I went into some old surveys. Yeah. Good. That's what was on my mind. I'm glad you're

594
00:38:04.080 --> 00:38:10.240
saying that. Okay. But you said present day, but I'm, I still think this is a condition of a lot

595
00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:17.920
of people today and, and just writing, saying like, what is it you're struggling with dominantly?

596
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:25.280
It's like negative thoughts, closer to God, anxiety, depression. Yes. And, and those kinds

597
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:32.320
of things. And I had like 1500 people actually do this survey, which is like crazy. Beautiful.

598
00:38:33.040 --> 00:38:42.720
And, and then I also, so I think for me is because I've been doing this for so long and I have like

599
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:51.600
consistently, I've had like 2000 people on my subscription subscription. It hasn't grown a

600
00:38:51.600 --> 00:39:00.960
whole lot because I, you know, I kind of wasn't putting anything into it for a while. My mom was

601
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:08.160
sure. Sure. Speaking, all that kind of thing. Sure. And so I feel like I'm kind of lost in

602
00:39:08.160 --> 00:39:14.640
transition out there that I'm not like, people don't really find me anymore. Sure. Saturation

603
00:39:15.600 --> 00:39:22.640
in this market. And so, and I think that a lot of people that are with me have just

604
00:39:22.640 --> 00:39:27.440
been with me for a long time. Sure. I don't think I'm bringing any new people in here.

605
00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:41.040
So I guess my question is, because I just put out, promoted my new membership

606
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:51.120
called the sanctuary. I actually made this for me. So I use it all the time. Okay. And I had,

607
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:57.440
I'm going to say I had about 15 people sign up for it. And there's a lot of entry points. I mean,

608
00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.840
a lot of things you can do in there.

609
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.000
based on who you are and I take people to an onboarding and all that kind of stuff.

610
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:17.440
So I don't know, I'm wondering do I need a better entry point for the person who needs

611
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:28.920
more of like that immediate result so they can kind of feel a success, which right now

612
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:35.640
I have two, one of them is a five day boot camp and I was actually looking up the survey

613
00:40:35.640 --> 00:40:41.040
from that and it's very, very good feedback.

614
00:40:41.040 --> 00:40:49.600
So it seems like people really benefit and then my other entry point is I have a five

615
00:40:49.600 --> 00:40:57.240
step transformational morning routine template.

616
00:40:57.240 --> 00:41:04.160
So I don't know, I feel like I have a lot of stuff, I don't know how to just like funnel

617
00:41:04.160 --> 00:41:08.160
that and to reach more people.

618
00:41:08.160 --> 00:41:10.000
Those are all just great.

619
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:15.680
So the first thing you said, you've got, you know, having done this for so long, you've

620
00:41:15.680 --> 00:41:19.280
got real market debt, okay?

621
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:26.040
And chances are the type of person is not going to change a lot.

622
00:41:26.040 --> 00:41:29.760
Like you're not suddenly going to go, I'm just making up something, you know, let's

623
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:35.720
say you were all these years, you know, 60 year old working moms.

624
00:41:35.720 --> 00:41:37.440
I'm just making up something.

625
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:42.680
You're not going to suddenly just attract a bunch of 20 year olds, okay?

626
00:41:42.680 --> 00:41:45.960
So the feedback is really valid.

627
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:50.580
My first comment to you was going to be, let's study the feedback you already have.

628
00:41:50.580 --> 00:41:58.620
And I didn't know that you had done the surveys, but I was going to have you pick 5, 10, 20

629
00:41:58.620 --> 00:42:05.980
people with a very short and say, hey, you know, and if you're wanting to do this, the

630
00:42:05.980 --> 00:42:12.180
second part of this, I want to bring it all together is a type of reactivation campaign

631
00:42:12.180 --> 00:42:13.500
for you.

632
00:42:13.500 --> 00:42:21.980
And so this could be a double thing is when we met, you shared that this and this was

633
00:42:21.980 --> 00:42:25.140
most important to you.

634
00:42:25.140 --> 00:42:28.020
What if that is still true?

635
00:42:28.020 --> 00:42:30.180
What's changed?

636
00:42:30.180 --> 00:42:32.780
What's most important to you now?

637
00:42:32.780 --> 00:42:43.180
Like, so what can happen is in that reactivation campaign, you're going to get up to date of

638
00:42:43.180 --> 00:42:45.380
because the now problem has changed.

639
00:42:45.380 --> 00:42:52.820
So for example, 20 years ago, they weren't overwhelmed with AI changing every five minutes,

640
00:42:52.820 --> 00:42:53.820
right?

641
00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:54.980
They weren't 20 years ago.

642
00:42:54.980 --> 00:43:00.820
They weren't overwhelmed with all the social media funnels and algorithms and distractions

643
00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:04.000
and things coming from 50 different places.

644
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.940
So things have changed.

645
00:43:06.940 --> 00:43:12.060
They're probably still have the same reason that they came to you of, of you bring the

646
00:43:12.060 --> 00:43:17.020
spiritual peace and you bring the health and the wholeness and all of that.

647
00:43:17.020 --> 00:43:21.020
That probably hasn't changed, but they're now problem.

648
00:43:21.020 --> 00:43:26.900
What's really pressing right now in a recession, are they feeling a financial crunch and it's

649
00:43:26.900 --> 00:43:31.140
affecting their health and they can't or they're getting separated from God because they're

650
00:43:31.140 --> 00:43:34.300
so stressed by all the noise and the chaos.

651
00:43:34.300 --> 00:43:39.040
So in listening, two things are going to happen.

652
00:43:39.040 --> 00:43:40.860
You're going to get up to date answers.

653
00:43:40.860 --> 00:43:44.300
You've got enough places to start.

654
00:43:44.300 --> 00:43:50.740
And in the conversation, you're listening, you're finding what they need.

655
00:43:50.740 --> 00:43:56.300
You can say, Hey, I hear you saying, and we're going to get into this when we get into sales,

656
00:43:56.300 --> 00:44:02.740
but just as a preview, I hear you saying that you're stuck with this and you desire to create

657
00:44:02.740 --> 00:44:06.260
this and this is really important to you.

658
00:44:06.260 --> 00:44:09.180
Can I make a recommendation?

659
00:44:09.180 --> 00:44:11.580
Here's what I recommend.

660
00:44:11.580 --> 00:44:18.500
Well now, because they feel heard and seen, and you're addressing those things specifically,

661
00:44:18.500 --> 00:44:22.660
here's why I recommend, I think it's going to give you this new morning routine.

662
00:44:22.660 --> 00:44:24.520
It's going to give you the peace to go through this.

663
00:44:24.520 --> 00:44:26.660
It's going to give you discernment for that.

664
00:44:26.660 --> 00:44:30.700
And so, but it's about what they're telling you that they need.

665
00:44:30.700 --> 00:44:36.700
So now what's going to happen is you're going to be breathing new, new life, okay?

666
00:44:36.700 --> 00:44:37.700
Into it.

667
00:44:37.700 --> 00:44:39.140
So you're an example with me.

668
00:44:39.140 --> 00:44:41.660
I mean, we worked together how long ago?

669
00:44:41.660 --> 00:44:46.660
It's been a lot of years ago that we worked together.

670
00:44:46.660 --> 00:44:52.100
But as we connect on this, it's relevant now for your now problem.

671
00:44:52.100 --> 00:44:58.820
So you were attracted to me the same reasons, help with business, spiritual mindset, but

672
00:44:58.820 --> 00:44:59.980
you're coming from a different.

673
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.940
Standpoint now my life has changed now. I'm married now. I'm in a new season, you know lost my mom now

674
00:45:06.940 --> 00:45:13.880
I'm like so you're you've changed and I can say hey, here's how Bill like Jesus is gonna help you here

675
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:19.200
And I did this to you. I said, here's why founding members the best deal for you. I know you I know what you're looking for

676
00:45:19.200 --> 00:45:21.760
Here's why I recommend it. Mm-hmm

677
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:29.840
So, you know, I I was it when Rhonda before she wrote her book

678
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:36.320
I was one of her readers of her of her of Christian meditation journal still have it still use it

679
00:45:37.160 --> 00:45:42.640
So we go way back. So Rhonda I what I was gonna say to you is I was attracted to you because

680
00:45:43.240 --> 00:45:45.240
You know meditation can be so

681
00:45:46.200 --> 00:45:51.280
You know I'm saying and so what attracted me to you is that not only were you meditating but you were doing Christian, man

682
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:53.800
Yeah, so that was one of the things that was very valuable

683
00:45:54.040 --> 00:45:58.600
Yeah to me and still is but also the thing about it and I know you're not doing them anymore

684
00:45:58.600 --> 00:46:03.240
I loved your trips and because but I'm still friends with people

685
00:46:03.520 --> 00:46:10.000
That I that I went on your Italy trip with I'm still connected and we still have great relationships to this day

686
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:15.280
So I also think a big piece of that you can bring even though you may not do the trips

687
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:21.280
I think that people are looking for also connection and community in a spiritual space, too

688
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:27.160
So that's the way that's the way that you might want to look at as well being being one of your former

689
00:46:28.720 --> 00:46:34.080
There you go participants, and I still get all your emails and stuff too. So yeah, there you go great feedback

690
00:46:36.080 --> 00:46:39.720
Two things that Natalie brought out and I can concur

691
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.400
What made you stand out is you were the Christian meditator?

692
00:46:45.200 --> 00:46:49.520
Everybody's teaching meditation, but you were the Christian meditator

693
00:46:49.520 --> 00:46:54.680
So that's not gonna likely change you're gonna stay there and it's even more important

694
00:46:54.680 --> 00:46:58.160
And then what has changed in our society?

695
00:46:58.240 --> 00:47:05.440
We got completely separated because of kovat and now everybody's online and this and that and now AI is

696
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:10.200
Separating us even further and she's saying hey what people want is connection

697
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:17.200
So there's there's examples of taking what you're doing and reactivating it and making it new

698
00:47:18.120 --> 00:47:23.320
All right. There's so much and so fun where where we're going with all this but

699
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:26.160
Spend some time

700
00:47:26.160 --> 00:47:30.720
Like looking at the type of questions we asked and looking at the resources you have

701
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:36.440
Who are you already working with who's already been circling around and orbiting in your sphere?

702
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:40.800
Who has worked with you in the past that you can reactivate and bring back?

703
00:47:41.240 --> 00:47:49.520
Okay, these are really important questions as we go forward and we'll pick up where we left off next week. All right

704
00:47:49.520 --> 00:47:52.520
Blessings to each and every one of you
