Hey, hey, hey! Hope you guys are doing great. Everywhere you are in the world, beautiful
people. I am just jiggling a little bit with my setup here. As you can see, I feel like,
and I don't think it's completely imaginary, you can probably tell from where you are that
I think I'm at a wee bit of an angle here. So, let me juice that up, and let me give
this bad boy some height. Boom! There it is. Hope you guys are doing great. How are you?
Where are you? Good to see you guys. I've had a great day at the beach today. I've been
there with Rewin, which is awesome. Rewin's part of our Sunship family, which is amazing.
So, it's so good to be with Rewin today in Tairoa. Jan, great to see you. Every time
you put a hello or something like that, even if it's a delayed coverage, I can see that
you're there. Aude, it's great to see you with us. Jan, you might not recognize this,
but I'm at my parents' place in Karikari now, so it's great to be here, a beautiful part
of the North Island. And, yeah, just looking forward to tonight, talking about strategy.
So, our topic tonight is strategy. We're going to hit it pretty quick. It's just a half an
hour session, and I'm hoping to give you a lot of valuable input around strategy and
strategic planning and the value of strategy. So, yes, Jan, I'll definitely give them some
love from you. Judith, great to have you with us from the top of the South. And Renee, great
to have you guys here with us. So, we're going to be talking tonight about strategy. So,
why don't you, just to start with, have a think about this question, then I'm going to pray,
and then we're going to launch into it, and it's going to be awesome. But, why don't you have a
think about this question in your life? How would you rate your strategy? Hi, Renee. Every time
people, when you pop on, just say hello or thumbs up or something like that, it's great to see you
out there, great to connect. And, man, I am loving this journey and loving this family. But,
why don't you throw out there, why don't you throw out your personal rating for yourself? How much do
you think you have stewarded the power of strategy in your world? Do you think you've nailed strategy
completely in your world? You're like 10 out of 10 strategy. Do you think you've nailed strategy in
just one area of your life, but other parts of your life seem like, oh, I really haven't nailed
strategy in that? How's strategy going for you in relationships? How's strategy going for you in
your personal health? Great to see you guys. Good to have you clicking in. How do you feel like
you've nailed strategy, you know, just in terms of your future, navigating to where you want to be,
towards your dreams? Are you bringing those things to life? So, hey, hey, Caroline and Robert. Good
to see you guys clicking in from all over the world. I love it. But, how about you chuck that
out there? How well have you stewarded the power of strategy in your life? Give yourself a rating
from 1 to 10, and I'm going to share with you about my thoughts about that for myself as well,
in one moment after we pray, and then launch into this, because it's going to be awesome. Trinity,
we thank you so much for family, and we thank you that in this family, here in the Online School
of Sonship, you're knitting our hearts together deeper and deeper, and I thank you so much that
in this context of family and connection, we thrive, and we excel, and we become who we could
never be by ourselves. So, Trinity, we just put our attention on you now. We put our attention on
the wonder of who you are. We want to thank you for everything that you've ever done for us. We
want to thank you for who you are. We want to thank you for the way that you live, and the way
that you move, and the way that you lead us and guide us, and we thank you that, Trinity, you're
the ultimate strategist. Wow, you are the ultimate strategist, and tonight, as we talk about bringing
our dreams to life, and we talk about strategy, we ask, Holy Spirit, that you would speak into our
hearts, and speak into our lives, and Lord, we ask for revelation. I just pray right now for everyone
that can hear my voice, that you will begin to release a strategic mind over the end, that there
will be an impartation of a strategic mind. Now, not an impartation from me, but an impartation
from you, that your strategies, and your ways, and your guidance, and your leading would begin to rest
on each person, and fall on each person, in Jesus' name. So, Holy Spirit, I thank you for all that
you're doing, and I thank you for all that you've done, and just ask increase on every person.
life right now that you'll be able to give them an eyes to see and ears to
hear and hearts to receive strategies from heaven like never before in Jesus
name a man ah beautiful hey guys well um what do you reckon so right you give a
give a thought give your thoughts on how well you're doing in life in terms of
strategy strategic planning how's that going for you do you feel like your man
like I've bottomed out on strategy in my life nothing's working or I've had
these strategies that have failed and it's you know where do you think you're
at or you feel like man I have I've actually really done really well in this
area and this here and that's going well love to hear your thoughts on strategy
personally for me if I was to give a gauge on how well I think I'm doing on
strategy and strategic planning I think I think I've got a lot of room for
improvement I don't it's not because I think things aren't going well things
are actually going better than they've ever gone before nearly in all areas but
I just sense that there's so much more to get in the area of strategic planning
so I might give myself a six for strategic planning good to see you all

want to I want to give you a story about something called the Chinese
bamboo tree some of you may have heard of the Chinese bamboo tree but the
