00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.320
And welcome to Prosper TV, to be inspired, equipped, empowered to prosper in all things.

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.040
I'm your host, Brenda Byars.

3
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:21.880
If you're ready to prosper physically, financially, relationally, spiritually, come and join this

4
00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:24.040
amazing community.

5
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:47.160
Let's prosper together.

6
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:48.160
Well welcome.

7
00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:50.280
I am so glad you're here.

8
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.880
You know, today we are really in for a treat.

9
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:55.840
It's a little bit different.

10
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.840
Sometimes we talk spirituality, health.

11
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.640
Today is going to be a really fun business one that's going to probably have all of those

12
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.360
things in it as well.

13
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:12.500
But if you have an online presence, you have a website or social media, or you're thinking

14
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:17.920
about having online presence, you are in for a treat.

15
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.720
One of my favorite sayings is we don't know what we don't know.

16
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:29.280
And when it comes to you being online, what you don't know can really cause a challenge

17
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.560
down the road.

18
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.440
So today you're going to get to hear from Cindy Jacks.

19
00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:38.520
Cindy, I am so glad you're here on the show.

20
00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:43.000
You are just a wealth of information.

21
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.040
And I like the way you describe yourself.

22
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:54.200
You say you help kingdom entrepreneurs grow an online presence without like avoiding the

23
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.200
land.

24
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.200
What is it?

25
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:57.200
Avoiding the technical landmines?

26
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.200
What is it that you do?

27
00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.400
Tell us more about it.

28
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:05.400
It's this innovative solution to what a problem that I just see in the industry, which is

29
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:11.200
everything is segmented and Christian businesses, kingdom businesses are being derailed time

30
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:15.160
after time after time by these technology gaps.

31
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.840
People are being asked to do things that they don't understand.

32
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:24.520
They're being required to make decisions that require an understanding of technical terms.

33
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.880
And it's making people not reach who it is they're supposed to.

34
00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:29.200
Give me an example.

35
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:30.720
What might they face?

36
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:31.720
What's some of these landmines?

37
00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:36.600
What are some of these struggles that they might face?

38
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.400
Just even at the beginning, like the way that there's a ripple effect, right?

39
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.240
So a person thinks I'm just supposed to make a logo.

40
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.200
And then they think, well, it's pretty.

41
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:48.460
I like pink and I like swirly lines.

42
00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:50.920
And so they make a logo like that because it represents them.

43
00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:57.000
And they never did all the hard work at the beginning to really figure out who the client

44
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.480
is because it really doesn't matter if they like pink, right?

45
00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:01.560
It matters on who they're targeting.

46
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.760
And I think most people think they know who their ideal client is, but they really haven't

47
00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:11.400
worked with someone to just narrow it down so specific that they know exactly where that

48
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.560
person hangs out.

49
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.560
What do they like?

50
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:14.560
What colors do they like?

51
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.560
What draws them?

52
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.120
What kind of public persona?

53
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.140
Where can we find them, right?

54
00:03:19.140 --> 00:03:23.640
Because all of that stuff's going to affect how we do a logo and branding.

55
00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:26.160
But sure, you can find someone to do your logo.

56
00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:31.320
But the next thing is you go to a web designer and the web designer says, you know, I need

57
00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:32.320
your logo.

58
00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:33.320
I need this kind of file.

59
00:03:33.320 --> 00:03:34.320
I need a JPEG.

60
00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:35.440
I need a vector file.

61
00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:37.520
I need this.

62
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.660
What's your hex codes of the colors that you use?

63
00:03:39.660 --> 00:03:46.500
And so you need somebody who's going to prepare the client to go to the web designer.

64
00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:52.220
And also just on the tech side, the web designer's stuck trying to work within the pink logo,

65
00:03:52.220 --> 00:03:53.220
right?

66
00:03:53.220 --> 00:03:56.340
And so you're already now created an issue right from the start.

67
00:03:56.340 --> 00:04:01.440
And then the web designer, who isn't connected to the graphic artist, doesn't really have

68
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:04.940
a commitment to do anything other than design a pretty website.

69
00:04:04.940 --> 00:04:09.740
So it's almost like they're getting like tighter and tighter handcuffs I was seeing

70
00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:10.740
as you're talking.

71
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:13.340
It's like it starts out like, hmm, I like pink.

72
00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:14.940
I think I'll get that.

73
00:04:14.940 --> 00:04:16.860
And now, oh, I need a website.

74
00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:19.779
Okay, I hire a web person.

75
00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:24.780
But that web person now cannot fully reach their ideal client or do the best job because

76
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:28.540
they've already got a limitation based on the logo that was chosen.

77
00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:29.540
Right.

78
00:04:29.540 --> 00:04:32.940
And it gets much worse as you go down the line because that's just kind of pretty, right?

79
00:04:32.940 --> 00:04:33.940
Okay, okay.

80
00:04:34.620 --> 00:04:37.660
Now you have someone who has to develop the website, right?

81
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:39.140
This is all lovely and beautiful.

82
00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:41.660
And if you can figure out what pictures you need, that's great.

83
00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:45.780
But when you get to the person who's developing, if you don't have someone who is committed

84
00:04:45.780 --> 00:04:51.580
to creating an excellent product and who will give you a design, a platform that you can

85
00:04:51.580 --> 00:04:52.580
grow with.

86
00:04:52.580 --> 00:04:57.420
So, you know, sometimes they just put you in this little tiny thing and think that it's,

87
00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.020
you know, the point is like.

88
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.000
On the back end is where you manipulate things to be found on Google.

89
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.000
It's where you create backups and security and malware,

90
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.000
so if your site goes down, you can immediately fix it.

91
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.000
It's where you get the quality that things actually load quickly

92
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.000
and all of those fine nuances.

93
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.000
If you have someone who just makes it look pretty on the front

94
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.000
and has no accountability for the back end,

95
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.000
then the client has to work with an IT support

96
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.000
trying to explain things that they don't even know what the words mean

97
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
to explain what this developer, who wasn't held accountable by anyone

98
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.000
because the client doesn't know any better,

99
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.000
because they're like, oh, that's a pretty site.

100
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.000
How common is that?

101
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.000
How common is it that someone makes a pretty site

102
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.000
and they're not thinking about all these things,

103
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.000
I like to say, under the hood, right?

104
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.000
Like the engine under the hood.

105
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.000
Because who would even think about that if you're not a web developer?

106
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.000
Again, we don't know what we don't know.

107
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.000
Who would even think about that?

108
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.000
And so the person getting the website,

109
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.000
yeah, I got a pretty website, it looks good,

110
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.000
I like the way it's pink and it's got swirls, we're good, right?

111
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.000
So how often does that happen?

112
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.000
I think it happens all the time because I think that consumers don't really,

113
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.000
they don't get the big picture, and so they're looking for bargains

114
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000
and they're looking for I can do it myself.

115
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.000
It's that other thing that just really I feel like people believe

116
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.000
that because you can read about it online, they should learn it

117
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.000
and not understand that this stuff is really complex and technical

118
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
and if it's not integrated.

119
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.000
And it can end up costing them so much more time and money

120
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.000
and limiting their reach or limiting how their business can grow.

121
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:46.000
And so it's really going to depend on the ethics of the web developer

122
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.000
at how well they do.

123
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.000
But then they're gone.

124
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.000
And then you just have it and you dump it on the hosting person

125
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:58.000
and then the person at the hosting company asks the customer,

126
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.000
well, do you want this, and do you want this, and do you want this,

127
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.000
and do you want this, and it's like just click randomly.

128
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.000
They don't know what it means.

129
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.000
And so you can end up in a situation where the person is paying a fortune

130
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.000
to host it, and yet when the IT support guy is talking to the customer

131
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.000
and they say the whole thing crashed, can you back it up?

132
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.000
And the guy's like, well, we don't have one for like four days

133
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
and then the one before that is like 14 days earlier.

134
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.000
Like the most basic fundamental thing of is it getting backed up

135
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.000
isn't even happening.

136
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.000
But the big picture and my solution really what I just believe is so necessary

137
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.000
is that you have one person who's overseeing that,

138
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:42.000
who puts it all under one umbrella and knows they already have the files from,

139
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.000
they already have the brand guide, they already have the stuff for the logo,

140
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.000
they understand as a designer what's necessary for the customer.

141
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.000
The developer, the person, the company, my company is holding the developer

142
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.000
accountable because I know what it's like under the hood.

143
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.000
I know what it looks like and what it doesn't.

144
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.000
Then you have someone who's making sure that the client gets ranked on Google

145
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.000
so they're found.

146
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.000
If you aren't promoting your domain, then Google's going to send your mail,

147
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.000
your email to the junk folder.

148
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.000
It's like there's all of these parts.

149
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.000
Well, all these working parts that the average person doesn't think about.

150
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.000
They're either trying to do it themselves and probably really messing it up

151
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:25.000
or they're piecemealing it out and subcontracting it out

152
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:30.000
without any of the people involved talking to each other.

153
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.000
I know you personally, obviously, as your coach,

154
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.000
and I know you're pretty passionate about this.

155
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.000
Tell me what fires up the passion.

156
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:42.000
What is it?

157
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:46.000
I know you've shared with me how you feel like people are getting taken advantage of.

158
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.000
Tell me a little bit about that.

159
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.000
The number one thing that just drives me, and I believe it's why God put this on my heart,

160
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.000
is you have people called by God.

161
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.000
They are called by God to fulfill a mission, to serve the world,

162
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.000
to make the world bring something that only they know how to do,

163
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.000
and they get derailed over and over and over and over again.

164
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.000
At each moment that they're derailed, God's kingdom is not advancing.

165
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.000
That the enemy wins every single time.

166
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.000
That they're like, well, I'll just do my website for $100 online,

167
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:27.000
and then they spend all day doing it, and then they don't know how to promote it.

168
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.000
Just all of these things that derail them.

169
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.000
They're not doing what they're called to do.

170
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.000
They're not living out their calling.

171
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.000
They're not.

172
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.000
I love the beginning of your mission where you say,

173
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.000
I help kingdom entrepreneurs fulfill their calling.

174
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.000
Without the technical landmines.

175
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.000
You describe some of those.

176
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.000
There's the mess connecting in between.

177
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:58.000
There's the time and energy sitting on hold with whoever you got your website from.

178
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.640
Trying to fix it. I think it's an important work. So your company

179
00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:11.840
TNK solutions is an umbrella that walks them from their ideal client

180
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.840
Yeah, all the way step by step their branding

181
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:21.340
Yeah, their online presence in a way that's going to attract their ideal client their privacy their security

182
00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:25.880
You're you're really a one-stop shop. It's not you doing it all you've got a whole team, but

183
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.600
you're overseeing and making sure that

184
00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:34.400
Yeah, it's the best solution that I could come up with I mean it seems so necessary

185
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:41.200
right, and there's just little ways that the industry just takes advantage of people like I'm thinking of one of my

186
00:10:41.800 --> 00:10:43.800
Clients before I had my company set up

187
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:50.120
She's like well, I'll just host it on this one platform that charges a dollar a month for the first year

188
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.280
Then it's $12 a month

189
00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:55.880
And so I spend two hours on some guy in India doing whatever to set it up

190
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.800
Get all the way through get it hosted and then they say oh for $70 you can have it so it's secure

191
00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:09.000
So you're already stuck and then you're gonna have that lock unlocked and everyone's gonna say that and it's an accounting firm, right?

192
00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:15.840
What they thought was a dollar really has a 70 back end if they want to be safe and as a person who knows the

193
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:21.360
Coding I understand like I just react emotionally because it's a super short line of code and they get it for free

194
00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:23.520
so that company is

195
00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:31.160
Charging for something that they don't pay anything for so they're luring people in and then their customer support if it takes two hours to even

196
00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:34.160
Get their domain transferred and their website moved there

197
00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:42.200
They're gonna spend forever just trying to fix whatever error the developer created that is just gone in the wind, right?

198
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.760
Wow, so wow, that's why so let's back up a little bit about you

199
00:11:46.760 --> 00:11:47.400
So, you know

200
00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:55.120
You're you definitely speak geek and you definitely understand all of this stuff and you definitely know how to how to make the entrepreneur

201
00:11:55.640 --> 00:12:01.320
Not have to have all these headaches and all these price tags, but let's back up a little bit to you

202
00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:08.000
What how did you start this business? What what led you to even have this business? I

203
00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:10.920
Guess dealing with one

204
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.000
frustrating

205
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.120
website after another because I ended up trying to design something but the

206
00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:22.280
Technical stuff was so messed up that I spent I don't know

207
00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:30.200
5060 hours trying to fix this disaster just to make it function and with each of my wasted hours

208
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.200
You know this tension just built and built and built and I'm seeing you know, my friends

209
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:41.720
Getting ripped off with the $70 and I'm seeing at the same time all these life coaches who are telling me

210
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.400
well, you know I tried to get online but I didn't know what the resolution of a picture meant and so I didn't know how

211
00:12:46.400 --> 00:12:50.920
To do it. So I just gave up or you know, I don't or even when I ask my client

212
00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:55.760
What do they need and I'm like, do you need a domain like domain URL as a cell, you know?

213
00:12:55.760 --> 00:13:01.120
Just these basic things in their eyes just glaze over and I'm like this is important

214
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:07.240
You know, this is important that that people should not be worried about things that can take I mean

215
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.200
I've done this for a decade. It took a long time to learn it. Yeah

216
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:12.680
and

217
00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:20.360
so, you know it it's really challenging to try to do their calling whether they're a coach or a healer or an

218
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.160
entrepreneur and

219
00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:26.600
Try to be their own. I like to think it's like trying to be your own dentist or something, right?

220
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.200
I mean, yeah, I guess I could study dentistry

221
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:34.000
But it's it's a little bit challenged to really do that and in the end

222
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:40.360
I think that they save so much it may look at the front like well, I can't invest like that

223
00:13:40.880 --> 00:13:47.120
But they're actually like you gave the example the dollar to the 70 they're paying on the back end without any choice

224
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:49.280
Yeah and being slowed down

225
00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:57.000
Dramatically. Well, I think that TNK solutions starting and their offices is an incredible

226
00:13:57.520 --> 00:13:59.160
miracle story and

227
00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:04.860
So for those of you, you know listening to Cindy, you know, like I said, she speaks geek really really well

228
00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:14.220
Geekies, what do you call that? But I said, you know, what's amazing is her heart for God her passion for God and

229
00:14:15.140 --> 00:14:18.380
One of the things that I have really come to love about

230
00:14:19.140 --> 00:14:24.980
Cindy is her bedrock faith that God will provide

231
00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:29.540
Even when you you can't you don't know where it's going to come from

232
00:14:29.540 --> 00:14:33.880
There's one thing that Cindy will say to you time and time again. She'll say

233
00:14:33.880 --> 00:14:36.840
I don't know but God will provide and

234
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:42.200
boy, did he when it comes to your offices and

235
00:14:43.280 --> 00:14:50.600
So, how did you come to have this faith that God would provide and you use an interesting word?

236
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.200
And I want to have you share somewhere you you follow the bet the breadcrumbs

237
00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.080
I think you said can can you share how did your faith that God will just provide?

238
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.320
Because, you know, we're in a pandemic right now.

239
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.000
Right.

240
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.040
And you opened your business in the middle of a pandemic.

241
00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:12.920
You leased big offices in the middle of a pandemic, OK?

242
00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:16.240
Talk to us about that, because this

243
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:21.320
is a time when the news and fear is saying, hey, close down,

244
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:22.520
back up, save.

245
00:15:22.520 --> 00:15:26.400
And on the contrary, you're just blossoming and expanding

246
00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:28.080
and new clients and all of this.

247
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.360
Talk to us about that.

248
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:34.840
Well, it's hard to say exactly where it started, right?

249
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.480
But there's absolutely no doubt that God talks to us.

250
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.080
And we, in general, people don't believe

251
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.360
that it's that voice.

252
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:49.880
And so my number one checkmark about whether it's

253
00:15:49.880 --> 00:15:52.720
God in the beginning of the conversation is my response

254
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.560
is, yeah, but.

255
00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:55.920
Cindy, you should rent an office.

256
00:15:55.920 --> 00:15:56.560
Yeah, but.

257
00:15:56.560 --> 00:15:58.760
Let me tell you all the reasons why you shouldn't.

258
00:15:58.760 --> 00:16:00.400
But what cracks me up about the story

259
00:16:00.400 --> 00:16:02.560
of this particular office, I mean,

260
00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:05.080
there's just so many levels of it that's funny.

261
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.320
But it's such a great example of how God,

262
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.400
if we don't tell him what we want,

263
00:16:11.400 --> 00:16:13.400
he doesn't even have a place to start.

264
00:16:13.400 --> 00:16:15.520
But once he does know what you want,

265
00:16:15.520 --> 00:16:19.080
he gets a kick out of blowing your mind, really.

266
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.360
And so I came up with this idea that I was like,

267
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:24.040
oh, I'm going to rent an office and I'm

268
00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:26.520
going to paint this big room green

269
00:16:26.520 --> 00:16:28.720
and I'm going to have people that are coaches come in

270
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.280
and we're going to videotape them

271
00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:34.800
and then we'll get it edited and we can put them online.

272
00:16:34.800 --> 00:16:38.120
And that's my vision, but it's huge for me.

273
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:39.880
It's a huge vision.

274
00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:41.520
And it's a huge stepping out.

275
00:16:41.520 --> 00:16:43.160
I'll start my own business.

276
00:16:43.160 --> 00:16:46.280
And so long story short, I end up

277
00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:50.200
being led to these particular buildings that I'm in.

278
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.320
And when I walked up, there's these beautiful fountains

279
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.280
and it just had this feeling.

280
00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:02.520
And I got the number from the property manager

281
00:17:02.520 --> 00:17:04.839
and I left saying, God, I want to work here.

282
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:05.920
This just feels right.

283
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.480
I want to work here.

284
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.119
And so I talked to the CFO and I said, well,

285
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.400
I just need one room.

286
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.960
I need an office to work in and then

287
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.720
I need one room that I can paint green and do my filming.

288
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.720
And he's like, well, I kind of have,

289
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.079
we have a place, we have a filming studio

290
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.200
so we could see if you can use it, right?

291
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:31.280
So these people, I come to find out

292
00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:34.000
that it's owned by a Christian college, the two office

293
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.640
buildings.

294
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:39.800
And not only that, but the day after the CFO gives me

295
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.680
a tour of the building, the chancellor comes to him

296
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.880
and says, oh, I've been praying and I

297
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:47.380
feel like God is telling me we should

298
00:17:47.380 --> 00:17:50.460
open these empty spaces up to Christian businesses.

299
00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:53.380
And so you're pulling up on the outside saying, oh God,

300
00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:54.260
this is perfect.

301
00:17:54.260 --> 00:17:56.140
This is where I want my office.

302
00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:58.980
And over here, because I love divine appointments.

303
00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:00.740
It's one of my favorite miracles.

304
00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:04.100
And so you're being prepared with this vision,

305
00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:06.380
coming to this building, this is where I want to be.

306
00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:08.340
In the meantime, the chancellor is

307
00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:11.780
being prepared that he wants kingdom businesses here.

308
00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:13.340
And then you meet.

309
00:18:13.340 --> 00:18:14.380
Yep, we meet.

310
00:18:15.220 --> 00:18:19.180
And the humor is, to me, the funny part

311
00:18:19.180 --> 00:18:22.340
is, I said to God, I want to do video studio.

312
00:18:22.340 --> 00:18:23.700
I got a great idea.

313
00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:25.780
And he's like, oh, you want to see a video studio?

314
00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:27.300
OK, I'll give you a video studio.

315
00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:30.980
It's like a $100,000 video studio with, to me,

316
00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:32.940
it's like the cameras that slide.

317
00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:36.820
To me, that is just so awesome.

318
00:18:36.820 --> 00:18:40.100
But the thing is this, you asked about breadcrumbs, right?

319
00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:42.900
And I keep track of these in a journal.

320
00:18:42.900 --> 00:18:46.900
But they're the stories where he asks you to do something,

321
00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:48.580
but it's not outrageous.

322
00:18:48.580 --> 00:18:50.420
It's not a super hard thing to do.

323
00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:54.700
So there was this time that my daughter, my husband's

324
00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:57.500
taking my daughter to this Valentine's Day dance.

325
00:18:57.500 --> 00:19:01.220
And the two days before, my husband's like, well,

326
00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:02.980
her dress matches my tie, right?

327
00:19:02.980 --> 00:19:04.980
And then at that moment, I realized I don't even

328
00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:06.300
have a dress, right?

329
00:19:06.300 --> 00:19:09.540
And so my girlfriend's like, I have a dress she can wear.

330
00:19:09.540 --> 00:19:12.420
So I don't do anything till the day before.

331
00:19:12.420 --> 00:19:15.060
And it turns out she's got this red velvet dress

332
00:19:15.060 --> 00:19:16.820
with Santa fur on it.

333
00:19:16.820 --> 00:19:18.940
So I'm going, she can't wear that.

334
00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:20.540
She'll look like Mrs. Claus.

335
00:19:20.540 --> 00:19:26.420
So anyhow, the point is that I am just down to the wire, right?

336
00:19:26.420 --> 00:19:28.380
And it's not quite Easter.

337
00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:30.860
And so there are no dresses left over from Christmas.

338
00:19:30.860 --> 00:19:32.420
And I go into TJ Maxx, because it's

339
00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:34.940
up the street from my girlfriend after she showed me

340
00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:36.940
Mrs. Claus' outfit.

341
00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.220
And I'm in there, and I'm looking,

342
00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:40.220
and there's no dresses.

343
00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:42.220
And I'm just going, this is a disaster.

344
00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:44.180
What are we going to do?

345
00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:46.380
And I kept hearing, go to the toddler section.

346
00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:47.580
Go to the toddler section.

347
00:19:47.580 --> 00:19:50.140
And of course, I'm with my, yeah, right, yeah.

348
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:53.140
But we just have this ongoing dialogue of,

349
00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:56.220
instead of me just going, you said go to the toddler section.

350
00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:57.140
And I rush over.

351
00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:59.420
I'm like, looking through all the dresses.

352
00:19:59.420 --> 00:20:01.420
And then finally, I go.

353
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.100
Go to the toddler section because God is relentless.

354
00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:07.200
And in the middle of the nine month section of clothes

355
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.340
is hanging this one dress.

356
00:20:09.340 --> 00:20:10.840
And that was the time when Frozen,

357
00:20:10.840 --> 00:20:15.040
she was maybe five and Frozen was just the absolute dress,

358
00:20:15.040 --> 00:20:16.640
you know, like everything.

359
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.580
And so here's a dress with a hoop skirt,

360
00:20:19.580 --> 00:20:20.780
you know, hoop skirts.

361
00:20:20.780 --> 00:20:23.520
You can't be off by this much if they don't fit.

362
00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:26.860
So I buy this dress going, oh, my goodness.

363
00:20:26.860 --> 00:20:28.920
I take it home and Caitlin and her friend,

364
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.180
they saw the dress at first.

365
00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:31.920
I walked by my girlfriend and she's like,

366
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.160
you've got to be kidding me. Right.

367
00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:37.560
And I show it to the girls and they're like, oh, right.

368
00:20:38.060 --> 00:20:41.600
And it fits her perfect. It's perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

369
00:20:42.260 --> 00:20:45.960
So he does that. Right. Undeniable.

370
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:47.700
It's God. Right.

371
00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:49.740
I mean, why is there an Elsa dress

372
00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:51.500
hanging in the middle of the nine month section

373
00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:53.200
that fits my daughter? Perfect.

374
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.200
So when he says, hey, I think you should just go sign a lease

375
00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:57.220
for four years.

376
00:20:57.220 --> 00:21:00.520
And it's like you've done so many of those

377
00:21:00.760 --> 00:21:03.500
and proven yourself breadcrumb after breadcrumb

378
00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:06.100
after breadcrumb, you know you're on the right track.

379
00:21:06.100 --> 00:21:08.800
Do you think so? So you journal the miracles,

380
00:21:08.800 --> 00:21:10.900
you journal each these breadcrumbs,

381
00:21:10.900 --> 00:21:12.800
these answers to prayers. Right.

382
00:21:12.800 --> 00:21:14.700
I'm thinking Hansel Gretel, these breadcrumbs.

383
00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:16.380
God's just like leading you along the way.

384
00:21:16.380 --> 00:21:20.140
Yeah. Do you think that this has caused your faith to grow

385
00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.320
because you're actually recording them?

386
00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:25.080
You're actually like you you're able to look back

387
00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:27.100
and see so many.

388
00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:29.840
Do you think that that has caused your faith to grow?

389
00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:31.740
It it helps remind me.

390
00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:35.740
Yeah, because I think I've just learned mindset is everything.

391
00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:37.540
And it's a daily practice.

392
00:21:37.540 --> 00:21:40.940
It's a daily battle to keep your mindset where it belongs.

393
00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:45.360
And so to just be able to to skim down that list and go,

394
00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:47.520
oh, that was provided for and that was provided for.

395
00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:51.260
And but what's funny is like we're like Israelites. Right.

396
00:21:51.260 --> 00:21:53.560
It's like you gave me manna every single day

397
00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:55.520
for the last however many days.

398
00:21:55.520 --> 00:21:57.920
But are you going to feed me today? I could start today.

399
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.820
Like, is it really going to come? Right.

400
00:21:59.820 --> 00:22:02.120
So we still question. We see these miracles

401
00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:03.660
and we still question.

402
00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:06.360
And yet, Cindy, you know, people would say

403
00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:09.400
this was a really a leap of faith.

404
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.560
I mean, you know, you were at a home being mom

405
00:22:14.540 --> 00:22:19.300
and you signed a lease before you had your first client.

406
00:22:19.300 --> 00:22:23.240
Yes, I did. And and what did God do?

407
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.140
Oh, like three days before the rent is due.

408
00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:30.520
I'm just going, I don't know how to pay the rent.

409
00:22:30.520 --> 00:22:34.560
And the mail lady knocks on my door on Saturday afternoon

410
00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:35.900
and she's like, I think you mentioned

411
00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:36.900
you were looking for a check.

412
00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:40.020
So here it is, was able to deposit it, pay the first month's rent.

413
00:22:40.260 --> 00:22:42.820
Second month, I don't know how I'm going to pay the rent. Right.

414
00:22:42.820 --> 00:22:44.900
I don't know how I have the money to grow the business.

415
00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:47.660
The client comes by. She pursues me. Right.

416
00:22:47.660 --> 00:22:49.600
I don't even try to sell anything.

417
00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:51.780
And that's covered the next one.

418
00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:54.580
I think I have enough to pay rent this next time.

419
00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:56.780
And after that, what would you say?

420
00:22:56.780 --> 00:22:59.200
So your faith has has really grown.

421
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:01.200
What would you say?

422
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:04.200
This is a we're in a national crisis pandemic.

423
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:05.400
There's a lot of people afraid.

424
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.000
There's a lot of people confused.

425
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.280
There's a lot of people financially very frightened.

426
00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:13.440
Yeah. What what advice?

427
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.480
What would you say to the woman watching this,

428
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.580
the entrepreneur watching this that wants to step forward

429
00:23:19.580 --> 00:23:22.540
and build their business, but is scared, what would you say?

430
00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:33.360
I would say there's two there's two stages and one is healing. Right.

431
00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:36.400
And I think God tends to the broken hearted.

432
00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:41.240
And I think it's very hard or maybe not even necessary to step out

433
00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:45.040
while you're still in this in a stage of recovery, of healing.

434
00:23:45.040 --> 00:23:49.540
And that if that's where you are to just sit still

435
00:23:49.580 --> 00:23:52.740
and hold that pain and let God come and minister to it.

436
00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:55.460
I feel like people just want to keep going, keep going, keep going.

437
00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:58.420
And they need courage to go to those spaces

438
00:23:58.420 --> 00:24:02.620
that where the darkness lives inside them and let God heal them.

439
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.240
But once that's done, there is a space where you, you know,

440
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.080
you're scarred from the battles, but you're healed.

441
00:24:11.320 --> 00:24:12.700
And God has a plan for you.

442
00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:16.700
And every single bad thing that's ever happened to you, every single one of them.

443
00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:21.820
God can just use it for good, like really, really use it

444
00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:26.780
because it becomes your greatest strength. Yeah. Right.

445
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:31.320
And and he uses it as your calling.

446
00:24:31.540 --> 00:24:32.160
Do you know what I mean?

447
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:37.540
He takes those spaces, heals you, purifies and strengthens you

448
00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:39.400
and then sets you on a path.

449
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:43.740
And so if you are on a path and God is saying, get there and you go,

450
00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:47.940
well, I don't know what my logo should look like or I'm scared.

451
00:24:49.860 --> 00:24:52.580
In that moment, the evil that broke you

452
00:24:52.580 --> 00:24:55.620
and harmed you is still winning, right?

453
00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:57.280
Trust. Right.

454
00:24:57.280 --> 00:24:59.820
And the thing that's funny is God, God

455
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.800
He's just waiting to bless us.

456
00:25:02.800 --> 00:25:03.640
Do you know what I mean?

457
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.140
Like really, he genuinely does love giving us gifts

458
00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:11.400
that are way more than you could even imagine, right?

459
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:12.520
And he gets a kick out of it.

460
00:25:12.520 --> 00:25:14.320
Like, oh, you want a green screen room?

461
00:25:14.320 --> 00:25:17.240
Okay, well, we'll give you, and that's not me.

462
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.280
I'm not special.

463
00:25:18.280 --> 00:25:19.160
He just doesn't.

464
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.580
And if we listen and go to the nine month toddler section,

465
00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:23.520
there's the dress.

466
00:25:23.520 --> 00:25:25.600
If we make the phone call,

467
00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:29.120
oh, suddenly there's that $100 million, not 100 million,

468
00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:31.400
but maybe whatever loan you needed.

469
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:35.600
Or, you know, if you listen, if you really listen,

470
00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:37.280
he's always talking.

471
00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:39.680
He's always telling you what to do next.

472
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:40.600
And we don't do it.

473
00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:41.440
People don't do it

474
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.200
because they think God doesn't care about that.

475
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.640
Well, that's just so not true, right?

476
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.440
So really the process of healing,

477
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.920
and you've been through a lot of healing in your life.

478
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:54.580
You had a very difficult childhood.

479
00:25:54.580 --> 00:25:57.560
That's probably a whole nother TV show.

480
00:25:57.600 --> 00:25:59.720
But, you know, you're speaking from the heart.

481
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:00.560
You know what it is

482
00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:03.120
to have to go through very deep, deep, deep healing.

483
00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:05.640
So you're not just speaking some kind of like

484
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.280
little euphemism to them or something, right?

485
00:26:08.280 --> 00:26:13.280
So healing, and then this trust that God is good

486
00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:17.820
and recording his goodness, right?

487
00:26:17.820 --> 00:26:19.240
Which of course is very biblical.

488
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:20.920
If you remember what God would do,

489
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.480
he would have them make a pile of the rocks, you know,

490
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.400
to remind of like the victories.

491
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.800
And the kids would say, dad, what's this pile of rocks?

492
00:26:28.800 --> 00:26:30.400
Well, this is when God did this.

493
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.680
You know, dad, what's this?

494
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.800
Well, this is when God...

495
00:26:32.800 --> 00:26:37.320
So, you know, God desires us to memorialize these things.

496
00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:40.760
And, you know, it says we overcome.

497
00:26:40.760 --> 00:26:42.320
We overcome, we're overcomers.

498
00:26:42.320 --> 00:26:44.280
We're more than conquerors, we're overcomers.

499
00:26:44.280 --> 00:26:49.280
We overcome by the blood of the lamb, what Jesus did,

500
00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:53.240
and the word of our testimony.

501
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:58.240
And so these miracles are both fun to experience

502
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:03.000
and to document, but it's in sharing these miracles

503
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.720
that it increases the faith of other people.

504
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.440
And so this is how we overcome, by the blood of the lamb

505
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.280
and the word of our testimony.

506
00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:16.120
And I think one of the fun backstories,

507
00:27:16.120 --> 00:27:19.960
I get to share kind of a backstory on this one,

508
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.960
is that as Cindy made this big shift,

509
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.920
and she made a big mindset shift to be here

510
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.340
and a spiritual leap to be here.

511
00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:33.160
As she made that shift and she moves into her office,

512
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.320
of course, some of you know the story of Prosper TV.

513
00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:39.400
God spoke to me in the shower

514
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.680
and gave me the vision for Prosper TV.

515
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:44.080
And so I call Cindy,

516
00:27:44.080 --> 00:27:45.520
because I know she's filled with faith.

517
00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:46.720
She's making all these leaps.

518
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.200
And I say, well, Cindy,

519
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:51.560
God's telling me to have a TV show.

520
00:27:51.560 --> 00:27:55.680
And she signed the lease, I didn't know.

521
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.720
And I'm telling you this, it's only been 24 hours.

522
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.400
And she's called 24 hours

523
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.480
from the time God said, start Prosper TV.

524
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:06.120
24 hours, I'm telling,

525
00:28:06.120 --> 00:28:08.360
I'm sharing the testimony that God told me.

526
00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:11.060
And she says, well, you're gonna love this.

527
00:28:11.060 --> 00:28:13.000
There is a fully equipped,

528
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:17.120
state of the art television studio.

529
00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:22.120
And so I love the way that God's miracles

530
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:27.400
weave us together and interconnect us.

531
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.760
I like to say, I love healing.

532
00:28:29.760 --> 00:28:31.920
I love it when people get healed, saved, delivered,

533
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.680
all those cool things, provision.

534
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:38.120
But I think my favorite miracle is divine appointments.

535
00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:40.320
He's over here speaking to the chancellor.

536
00:28:40.320 --> 00:28:43.280
He's over here speaking to you, divine appointments.

537
00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:46.200
He's over here speaking to me about TV.

538
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.920
He's weaving together.

539
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:50.280
And I love that.

540
00:28:50.280 --> 00:28:54.200
And so, I honor your faith and your courage

541
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:55.760
that you listened.

542
00:28:55.760 --> 00:28:57.660
Yeah, you like to question a little bit,

543
00:28:57.660 --> 00:29:01.160
but ultimately you always listen and you obey.

544
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.240
And you are being blessed to be a blessing.

545
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.200
And you look at all the people

546
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.120
that the ripple effect of God's blessing

547
00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:13.820
by your faithfulness in doing this.

548
00:29:13.820 --> 00:29:16.080
And I honor that in you.

549
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.680
And I love the work that you're doing.

550
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.440
It's so important.

551
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.040
What I see as a coach,

552
00:29:23.040 --> 00:29:27.320
I'm on the other end of that mess, really.

553
00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:29.360
You're seeing the technical landmines.

554
00:29:29.360 --> 00:29:33.960
I'm seeing like the coaching and motivational landmines,

555
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:35.900
right, and they all tie with what you're doing.

556
00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:38.760
So one guru is saying, podcasts are where they are.

557
00:29:38.760 --> 00:29:39.680
Go do podcasts.

558
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:41.680
And someone's going, no, challenges are where you are.

559
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:44.960
Challenges are, no, no, you gotta write a blog.

560
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.840
It's all in a blog.

561
00:29:46.600 --> 00:29:47.440
No, write a book.

562
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:48.560
No, speak publicly.

563
00:29:48.560 --> 00:29:53.400
And so they're not only being torn in technology,

564
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.000
but I think you're right.

565
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.280
These are the things that are literally,

566
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.720
they've got a call from God, I want to serve, I've got this gift, I want to be

567
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:09.780
part of healing and bringing hope in this way. And instead, they're on the

568
00:30:09.780 --> 00:30:15.080
phone with technical support, they're being pulled, money, resources, everything.

569
00:30:15.080 --> 00:30:20.600
And so, you know, I love the way God has allowed us to work together and how

570
00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:25.360
it fits together in what we're doing. What else would you say to people

571
00:30:25.360 --> 00:30:28.200
listening? What advice would you give them? They're getting ready to, they're

572
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:33.800
thinking about being online or they're online. What advice would you give them?

573
00:30:34.280 --> 00:30:40.800
Get as much help as you can, right? Honestly, that just because you can learn

574
00:30:40.800 --> 00:30:46.680
about it online doesn't mean you should try, because it's not that I or the

575
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:51.800
people who know this stuff is smarter, but it takes a lot of time. It takes, and

576
00:30:51.800 --> 00:30:57.240
it takes focus time, it takes the ability to just want to sit there and solve

577
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:02.280
complex problems. And like, unless God's called you to do that, most people don't

578
00:31:02.280 --> 00:31:06.400
want to sit quietly in the back room for six hours and stare at code, like they

579
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:16.880
don't love it. And so... You do, though. I do, I do. You talk about parts of the body, right? I do. I just get a kick out of the

580
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:22.700
complexity of it, but it breaks my heart that people are trying to do it by

581
00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:28.580
themselves, you know? And also, if you can find a holistic view, like make sure you

582
00:31:28.580 --> 00:31:32.060
start at the beginning. Everyone wins if it's done correctly from the beginning.

583
00:31:32.060 --> 00:31:37.460
And so, start with the end in mind, but really understand what it is you're even

584
00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:42.100
doing. It really doesn't have to do, everyone's like, I just need a logo. No,

585
00:31:42.100 --> 00:31:47.340
that's so much more than that. So, that's it. Seek help, make sure you start right

586
00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:52.500
from the beginning. And the other thing, even separate from that, is just

587
00:31:52.500 --> 00:32:01.660
remembering if God's calling someone to do something, He knows everything, right?

588
00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:07.060
So, in the end, when He says, do this or do that, and I'm like, yeah, but... I always

589
00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:12.420
remember, He's like, knows so much more about who's doing what and where it is

590
00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:16.140
and what resources are available. And not only that, He can change anyone's mind at

591
00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:21.020
any time. So, half the time, people are like, I really wasn't planning on doing

592
00:32:21.020 --> 00:32:25.340
that, but I just feel like I'm supposed to. Even just anybody, somebody at the

593
00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:31.420
bank or... God can change people's minds. God can equip anyone with anything, bring

594
00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:37.140
the resources in your life. So, when you listen and you say, I'm open, He knows

595
00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:43.340
everything. He's got so much abundant wealth, right? Abundance. Just because

596
00:32:43.340 --> 00:32:47.140
some people don't have money in their house right now, there's no less money in

597
00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:52.460
the world, right? There's no less money. And so, it's a matter of allowing that to

598
00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:58.420
come. And I think one thing I learned over time is we need to accept. Not only

599
00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:04.740
do we need to listen and obey, we need to accept the blessings, accept them. And

600
00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:09.980
that's sometimes hard, like, I don't deserve it or, you know, just...

601
00:33:10.020 --> 00:33:17.780
Being open, being receptive, being in the receptive mode. You know, we operate so

602
00:33:17.780 --> 00:33:22.820
often in masculine energy in business, especially as women, right? And so, we're

603
00:33:22.820 --> 00:33:27.980
driven and we're goal-oriented and we're pursuing and we're doing this stuff. But

604
00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:35.500
the feminine is to be open and to be receptive and to receive, you know, what

605
00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:41.100
God has for us. And I love that, that you're saying that, you know, just to be

606
00:33:41.100 --> 00:33:50.220
open. One of my favorite questions is, what's possible? What's possible? What

607
00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:55.100
else is possible? In fact, I think I remember I gave you that question. Share

608
00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:59.100
what you did when I started having you look at what's possible. What happened?

609
00:33:59.100 --> 00:34:03.420
Oh, my world after being a stay-at-home mom for 10 years had just gotten smaller

610
00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:09.500
and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller. And you just lose, like, the sight

611
00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:16.179
of other solutions, right? And so, I had just gotten to this tiny place where, you

612
00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:21.020
know, it doesn't even matter the limitations of it. But Brenda comes and

613
00:34:21.020 --> 00:34:25.020
says, I just want you to write what's possible. And so, at the time, one of my

614
00:34:25.020 --> 00:34:30.100
friends who owns a building had this giant whiteboard. And so, I went in with a

615
00:34:30.100 --> 00:34:33.820
marker, all by myself, and I just wrote what's possible. And, you know, I just,

616
00:34:33.820 --> 00:34:40.380
like, started writing, like, not editing any of it, right? Just what's possible.

617
00:34:40.380 --> 00:34:44.020
Oh, I want...and most of it, like, the first huge line was, I want this, I want

618
00:34:44.020 --> 00:34:47.900
this, I want this, I want this. The ocean, you know, the house by the ocean, or this,

619
00:34:47.900 --> 00:34:52.780
this, this. But by the halfway down the second line, it shows you the

620
00:34:52.780 --> 00:35:01.620
materialistic focus. But then it was, wow, that story should be out there, or...

621
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.720
You know, the story of my childhood should be proclaimed the great deeds of God.

622
00:35:06.720 --> 00:35:09.680
How is it that I can minister and heal other women?

623
00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:11.680
And, you know, it's like, dang.

624
00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:17.520
And but right after that, after this entire board is just opened to me to,

625
00:35:17.520 --> 00:35:19.440
why isn't that possible, right?

626
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:20.640
Why isn't it possible?

627
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:26.400
I was called by God to come to the window and I just felt like the sunlight, the light of,

628
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.160
you know, the light of God filling me.

629
00:35:28.160 --> 00:35:30.160
And he's like, are you sure?

630
00:35:31.600 --> 00:35:33.760
Like, will you accept it?

631
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.160
Wow.

632
00:35:34.160 --> 00:35:35.600
Right. Are you sure?

633
00:35:35.600 --> 00:35:36.160
Wow.

634
00:35:36.160 --> 00:35:38.640
Because it takes a lot to accept.

635
00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:40.080
You know, I heard a preacher say one day,

636
00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:43.600
if God gave you everything you're asking for right now, you couldn't handle it.

637
00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:50.000
You know, your mind is so small relative to like, you got to learn to grow into it.

638
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.120
It's something you said.

639
00:35:51.120 --> 00:35:52.800
Right. And so he really was.

640
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:53.360
Are you sure?

641
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:54.880
Do you accept it?

642
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:55.840
Yes or no.

643
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:56.080
Right.

644
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:58.880
So it's a big thing.

645
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:07.600
So just you opening your mind and what's possible and being willing to shift your mindset.

646
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:14.320
So you had some beliefs about business and about life that were really about working,

647
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.600
that were holding you back.

648
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.280
So what happened?

649
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.960
How did your mind shift?

650
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:20.640
What changed for you?

651
00:36:20.640 --> 00:36:24.240
Well, just to have you asking questions like,

652
00:36:25.040 --> 00:36:30.000
how much time are you actually spending running around to all these different grocery stores

653
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:31.760
trying to save like 20 bucks?

654
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:37.680
Or how much time do you spend going to Goodwill so you can get your shirts for $3 instead of

655
00:36:37.680 --> 00:36:39.920
$5 on the clearance online?

656
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:40.560
Right.

657
00:36:40.560 --> 00:36:42.960
So it's like, I never knew that.

658
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.960
Or is it really true that I can't be a good mother and stay at home?

659
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:50.160
Because I'm so unhappy doing all this housework.

660
00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:53.360
I mean, I've got all of this talent and love.

661
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.120
And I'm just at home doing laundry and being unhappier and unhappier.

662
00:36:59.120 --> 00:36:59.360
Right.

663
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.080
But the world just became like, there's no other choice.

664
00:37:02.080 --> 00:37:03.040
There's no other choice.

665
00:37:03.040 --> 00:37:07.360
So to have someone come and go, what if you just order your groceries online?

666
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:12.160
Like, what could you do with that time that might make you a better mother?

667
00:37:12.160 --> 00:37:14.720
Or what is a different way you could look at that?

668
00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:15.840
Or, you know?

669
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:17.360
Just changing the perspective.

670
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.000
Just started to be able to ask the question of, could this be different?

671
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:23.280
Is that really true?

672
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:24.800
Am I a better mother staying at home?

673
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:27.760
Or am I a better mother showing them this?

674
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:28.400
Right?

675
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.480
Is this what I want my kids to see?

676
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.720
Am I modeling life?

677
00:37:32.720 --> 00:37:33.920
Am I modeling abundance?

678
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.720
Am I modeling life with God?

679
00:37:36.720 --> 00:37:37.200
Yeah.

680
00:37:37.200 --> 00:37:37.920
Yeah.

681
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.880
Oh, you know, I've been so privileged to see the transformation in you and your willingness

682
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.400
to look at it and to grow.

683
00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:51.440
And the greatest investment really is the return on investment, right?

684
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:52.320
Is growing you.

685
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.800
Spiritually, emotionally, physically, relationally.

686
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:55.600
And I've seen that.

687
00:37:55.600 --> 00:37:56.560
You've invested.

688
00:37:56.560 --> 00:38:02.160
You've been willing to invest your time, your treasure, your effort in coaching, in learning,

689
00:38:02.160 --> 00:38:05.360
and to really expand yourself.

690
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:08.400
And I think you bring something really rich.

691
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:14.320
People come to you, and they get a one-stop shop, if you will, of eliminating these

692
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:17.200
landmines that are pulling them off their kingdom calling.

693
00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:23.600
But I think you're coming from a place of healing and of love and of knowing that God

694
00:38:23.600 --> 00:38:24.640
is good.

695
00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:28.800
And that, too, is a blessing that you're bringing to your clients.

696
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:29.920
That, too, is a blessing.

697
00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:32.080
And I love it.

698
00:38:32.080 --> 00:38:38.080
I honor you for the growth, for your faith leaps, for the incredible, beautiful service

699
00:38:38.080 --> 00:38:40.240
you're offering to entrepreneurs.

700
00:38:40.240 --> 00:38:41.760
So how can they work with you?

701
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:42.560
How can...

702
00:38:42.560 --> 00:38:43.120
What do they do?

703
00:38:43.120 --> 00:38:43.920
What's their first step?

704
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:51.360
You can go to my website, which is tnksolutions.com, and contact me like that.

705
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:56.160
Or you could, I guess...

706
00:38:56.160 --> 00:38:56.480
Okay.

707
00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:58.320
Go to your website and contact you.

708
00:38:58.320 --> 00:38:58.800
Okay.

709
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.320
There should be contact information there.

710
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.400
And do you do a consultation?

711
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:05.920
Do you do some evaluation to see where they're at?

712
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:07.120
What can they expect?

713
00:39:07.120 --> 00:39:07.360
Yeah.

714
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:07.840
Well, I don't...

715
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:09.120
I would think...

716
00:39:09.120 --> 00:39:10.400
I mean, I'm just starting this.

717
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:14.560
So I'm trying to find the solution that makes the most sense.

718
00:39:14.560 --> 00:39:17.760
So I think what I do is very different.

719
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:22.080
And so I think I want to put together some kind of summary video that just says,

720
00:39:22.080 --> 00:39:26.720
this is what you can expect that I'm doing and why it's different and how it can serve

721
00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:28.320
you to make sure it's the right fit.

722
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:32.640
But if that's true, we should spend half an hour together.

723
00:39:32.640 --> 00:39:35.600
And we can talk about what your thoughts are or...

724
00:39:35.600 --> 00:39:36.320
What they're trying to accomplish.

725
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:38.320
What God is doing for you.

726
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.280
And just...

727
00:39:40.560 --> 00:39:47.520
Even if you don't do business with me, I can at least help you get some thoughts going.

728
00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:48.800
And know what to look for, maybe?

729
00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:49.520
Know what to look for.

730
00:39:49.520 --> 00:39:51.920
They don't know these landmines you're talking about, right?

731
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.320
So we'll need a couple hours, though.

732
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:54.720
Yeah.

733
00:39:54.720 --> 00:39:54.960
Okay.

734
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:58.160
But at least you can start telling them what to look for.

735
00:39:58.160 --> 00:39:58.480
Absolutely.

736
00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.920
You can point them in the direction.

737
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.360
What comes first? Yeah, that's that's a great great thing. So TNK solutions calm. That's awesome

738
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.320
I'm so glad you're on the show. I'm so glad you shared I think I thank you for sharing a little bit of your personal

739
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:19.080
Being transparent because it's so easy for someone watching the show to say. Oh, she's so smart. She's a geek

740
00:40:19.080 --> 00:40:22.120
she knows that stuff but to see that you're human and

741
00:40:22.680 --> 00:40:27.720
you've struggled and God has been victorious in your life and

742
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.800
He has provided for you and

743
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:36.760
You're modeling so many things. So thank you for your your honesty your transparency

744
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:43.520
I know that God is glorified and I know people are really gonna be blessed hearing the show. So thanks. Thanks for doing that

745
00:40:43.520 --> 00:40:45.520
Thanks for being here
