All right, welcome to tonight's prosper leader member call.
We just had a wonderful time of breakout rooms and getting to share, and it will make more
sense now as I share this brief teaching and then afterwards, as we get into the mastermind
side of this and let it really deepen.
So let's just start with prayer and then we'll dive right in father.
I just give thanks Lord for, for what you are doing for who you are and the amazing
ways that you're working.
In each woman's life that's represented here in the new relationships, friendships, things
that are happening, Lord, I give thanks.
You ordain this before the foundation of the world to have a community, to support each
other, to grow together, to hold each other accountable, to mastermind together.
I give thanks.
I ask that you open our spiritual senses, open our spiritual eyes, open our spiritual
ears, open the eyes of our heart.
That whatever you want to come forth tonight, Lord, then it'll come forth with clarity and
with power.
I asked for breakthrough Lord.
I asked for an increase in awareness.
I asked for an increase in power.
I asked for an increase in miracles.
I asked for an increase in revelation knowledge.
I asked Lord that as we go forward, the signs and wonders follow those who believe, and
we give so much thanks.
Let the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight.
In Jesus name, amen.
Okay, I'm going to go very quickly through this.
A lot of this is review, and yet it's very important if it slipped in one ear and out
the other, I'm going to bring it back again.
I'm reminded of a time I was in a church and the preacher was preaching and he was talking
about money and people were saying, why is he always preaching about money?
Why is he always preaching about money?
And he said, I'm going to keep on preaching.
I'm going to keep on preaching about money and keep on preaching about money until you
get some.
And that has always stuck with me.
I'm going to keep on sharing these principles, these foundational principles until you have
absolute breakthrough and your income is absolutely exploding.
Your impact is exploding.
Your joy is just so much is coming out of this.
So what we're talking about is realizing this year, realizing your business goals.
So I always teach mindset plus skillset plus action plan equals results.
So this is always a combination.
The left side of the equation influences the right side.
You all know that there's an inner world, that mindset, there's an outer world, that
skillset and actions, and that's what produces the results.
So when you desire that this year is different, that you have breakthrough, that you actually
realize your goals, you're not spinning, you're not repeating.
You're actually having a new year and new results.
And so it always begins with clarity.
Awareness is the first step to transformation.
So it begins with clarity.
And so you must be absolutely clear on your desires.
You know, scripture says in Psalms 37, four, and in Psalms 20, uh, in numerous places says
God will give us the desires of our heart.
But we must have the clarity on that.
Okay.
And so clarity on your desires and then turning those desires into very concrete goals.
Okay.
And, and goals become more specific.
All right.
And those goals then, uh, are measurable there, you know, they're achievable, they're positive,
all of those things.
And so we turn those desires into specific goals, and then we take those goals and we
turn it into longer term vision.
And we clarify all of that by getting to the core, the juice, the bedrock of it.
So in other words, when you have a goal, and this is why I had you share why is that you
get deeper.
It's not superficial and I'll go into that in a minute, but we get into the five levels or more of why. So, one of the first things is some people have just stopped having goals, they have a fear of failure so if they don't set the goals then they don't
have to worry about it or they don't want to be accountable. And so I want to say, why does it matter in the first place, and I shared this as I spoke this morning in tapestry, there is a verse in Proverbs 13 that is really powerful.
Part A and Part B. So, Part A says, hope deferred makes the heart sick. I would exchange that hope deferred another way of saying that is unrealized goals, unrealized desires, right these things that that are just keep brewing inside of you but year
after year you don't see them, and there's a discourage a discouragement a despondency right so hope deferred makes the heart sick. Why do I keep repeating this why is it so important.
Part B says, but when a desire is fulfilled, or a goal is realized or a vision is is seen.
It's a tree of life.
There's actually like life that comes. And so, this is God, God made us this way.
He put the desires in our heart.
You know when you when your heart has been purified and you, you have such a desire to walk in integrity, you have such a desire to serve God and yet this desire never leaves you.
That's a clue into your divine purpose. When you feel so passionate about it when you feel like crying. You know you're on track. And so, you want to get very very clear so there's going to be a place in your homework to very clearly specifically in a measurable
way to write down your top three business goals, and then do this work again, just, I just did it again yesterday with my coach and it's like I was surprised what came out this is a long time goal, and I went even deeper into the bedrock, and this is what
motivated me to want to bring it here to you again, is get into that fire that underlying motivation that that bedrock that's why I say that you're absolutely committed it's just non negotiable, and you'll know you're there.
When you tap into the feeling, or when you hit a core need, or you, you hit a, a core value. Okay, these are like security, safety, freedom, love, meaning significance when you've really tapped into that, then you know that you're there.
And so you know I've given you some of these examples you know it might be, I desire a new car. Why, so I can go where I want to go we're still surface. Why, so I can go on dates.
Why, so I can meet my life partner see we're going deeper and deeper. Why, so I can fall in love.
Why, so I can feel loved.
So I can have someone to share my life with. Okay, now we're getting into that intrinsic right core need to be loved to be significant, right, to be appreciated all of those.
So it's really important that you do this work for your business goals do not compartmentalize and have your goals be out there, you know, separate really get to the depths of, of your real reason why I, you know, to grow my business to six figures or seven figures.
Why, so I can you know do the things I want to do. Why, and you just keep going keep going keep going. Okay, so I can be debt free. Why, so I can finally feel significant like I accomplished something.
Wow. Okay, there it is significance, or so I can have freedom I can just jump on a plane and go visit my daughter or I can just take a trip or. Okay, you're getting poor value freedom.
Okay, you're tapping into it, so I can just give away so much money and take every homeless person off the street. Okay, you're getting into you see how that works this is so important do not neglect this.
All right, and then what I had you do today when you said what are you fully committed to doing. I'm going to remind you of the poem that I have had memorized and has stuck with me and always comes back for more than 30 years.
I think this is one of the most powerful truths ever written about commitment. And so today some of you had not heard of it, I'm going to say it again. All right.
And some attribute it to Gertie, others to W.H. Murray.
So it goes like this. Until one is committed. So you can have a pipe dream, you can say I'd like to, it'd be nice, you're not there. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy.
This is really important right there. Before the commitment, there's still hesitation, you're not playing full on, you're not playing at a level 10, you're not tapping into your resources, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
So until one is committed, there's hesitancy. The chance to draw back. Always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there's one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
But here's the truth. That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. So, you move. Then, this was written like in the 1800s, providence, God, spirit, moves too. After you move, then things start to happen.
And it says all sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise not have occurred. A whole stream of incidences and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed.
Whatever, let's see, would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets, whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it. Boldness has genius, magic, and power in it.
Now, I was talking to one client during coaching, and she had someone ask about her group, and she hadn't started her group yet. And she said, what do I do? And I said, this is perfect. This is exactly what we're talking about. Start it. And you're going to activate the flow.
Because now that you've set a date, and you have someone who's paid, who's in it, now you're going to look at the rest of your list differently. You're going to go back to old clients who didn't sign up for your one-on-ones. You're going to think about prospects that didn't join before.
You're going to, names are going to come to you. People are going to come out of the woodwork. Like all these things, because you're activating the flow by making that commitment and taking that action. Okay, so there's going to be this place to write this out.
And then, now you know your why, you've got the desires, you're very clear, and now you create a plan. And this is where most people just stop short. And so, because they failed a plan, they plan to fail. Okay? And so, a plan is very simple. Don't make this complicated. You don't have to have a PhD to create a plan.
A fourth grader can do this. A plan simply means that you take the goal, and you break it into smaller actionable steps. Okay? So, you know, you desire to write a book, and so you break it into smaller actionable steps. What's going to be the topic? What's going to be the outline or chapters? What's going to be the main point?
And then you start breaking it in. I'm going to walk through this process with you, but you break it down into smaller steps, the rough drafts, and what resources do you need? An editor to help you? Do you need an accountability partner to help you? And even down to the smallest steps, what program are you going to write it in?
What time are you going to write it? When do you want to have it done? I'm going to get to this in a minute. When do you want to have it done? And then you break it into smaller pieces. Same thing. You desire to have a retreat. What are all the steps? You know, finding the place, purchasing the land. Well, to even purchase the land, what are the steps? You've got to have savings. You've got to have credit. You need a realtor.
What else do you need? And you just keep breaking it into actionable, what specific actions you need to take.
to achieve it.
You just get as detailed as you can.
So you just start listing all the possible actions,
just make a list.
Then you start setting a deadline.
Now, the easiest way I knew is you just start,
like we're here, this is the beginning of the year,
you start here, you figure the end of the year,
December 31st.
So between now and December 31st, okay?
So at the end, this is what, at the end of this year,
a book is written or a book goes to a publisher, okay?
Let's say, or the retreat land is bought,
or the group is formed, or the business is launched,
whatever it is, what is it?
Then you go, okay, to get there by December 31st,
what would be a halfway mark?
What would I have to have in place by the halfway mark?
And so then you write those things down.
Okay, to be at the halfway mark,
what do I need to have done halfway to that mark?
So to get to the halfway mark,
what do I need to be done at the end of the first quarter?
So if I broke it into two halves.
And so then you can take that quarter
and you can break it into months.
So you know what needs to be done each month.
So let's say, very simple math, okay?
Let's say it's 12 chapters in the book.
And so you want the book completely ready to go off
to editor and publisher by the end of the year, let's say.
If you need time for that, then you back it up.
But let's just say, okay,
then I have to have at least one chapter
written every single month.
Pretty easy math, 12 chapters, right?
If I need to put it into 10 months, then okay.
You know, I need a chapter and a half
and I need two months for the editing and publishing.
Whatever it is, you back it up, okay?
I'd like to earn six figures by the end of this year, okay?
So that means, where do I need?
Let's say that's $100,000 at the end of the year.
Let's make it 120 for equal math, okay?
So at the end of the year,
I wanna be at $120,000 that I've earned, okay?
That means halfway, I need to be at 60.
I'll know that I've gotten there.
Well, to do that, I know every month,
again, I'm doing easy math,
I need to be making $10,000 a month, okay?
What are the actions?
What are the things that have to happen every month
to make sure I have $10,000 in income?
So you can brainstorm that.
You can brainstorm like the 25 ways to get there.
I could have one $10,000 client.
I could have two $5,000 clients.
I could have five $2,000 clients.
I could have 10 $1,000 clients.
Whatever it is, you start looking at,
okay, how do I get there so that you can begin to move?
And you prioritize.
And this has to be so front of mind.
When I do this, I have it written everywhere.
I have it on my Prosper Daily Plan.
I have it on the inside of my journal.
I have it on the top of my calendar.
This needs to be just you're eating, sleeping, breathing it,
and you're giving it to God,
and you're asking the questions, how?
What do I need to do?
How can I?
You're asking those expansive type questions.
And so you prioritize them.
And then you inspect what you expect
because whatever gets measured gets done.
So every month you're checking,
every week you're checking.
If it's money, you know, at the end of the quarter,
at the end of the month, at the end of the week,
how much money went in?
How much went out?
You're aware.
Awareness is the first step to change.
Or how many sales conversations did you have, right?
How many of those became clients?
If there's no sales conversations on the book,
I always, you know, when I'm talking to people,
I always say, okay, let's start with the end of mind.
You want income and impact.
Okay, because these are high ticket items,
it means you have to have sales conversations.
To have sales conversations,
you have to have scheduled calls, right?
On your calendar.
If I look for the week and there's no call scheduled, okay,
then something's missing, which we got to back it up.
Either I don't have clarity
or I don't have a lead generation system
or I don't have a follow-up system.
So we got to get clarity.
We got to figure out where the leads are going to come.
And so you back it up.
It's like, you start with the end in mind,
like Stephen Covey says, and you back it up.
Okay, but the key, every successful person
that just really goes there,
yes, they're looking at all of this,
but they also have a healthy distance to it.
It's not looking at it with angst.
It's not looking at it with frustration.
It's not looking at it to be.
yourself up. It's like a game. It's fun. It's like, go back and
think of like playing Monopoly. And you know, you have the goal
to, you know, to get the blues, the boardwalk, right. And so,
you know, you're just you're looking at how many spaces and
you keep trying to hit the boardwalk, and you're looking at
all the ways, you know, or maybe you're going to trade with
someone else, or maybe you're going to whatever mortgage
everything else when you get the opportunity to get that
boardwalk property, but you're having fun, right? There's a
there's an intensity and focus, but you're also laughing and
you're having fun and you're celebrating. So make it a game
like even attach a reward to it and each month when you're
achieving your goals, like have fun with it. Okay, so so these
are some of the things just to look at where where are you and
where do you need to be to get there? Okay. So hopefully this
helps you and then we're going to really break this down to
where you are. And what resources do you need? What
support do you need? Where's the breakdown happening? And let's
really pull our resources together to support each other.
So with that being said, I'm going to stop the recording
here.
