Kuru kū kuʻu ʻeʻi. Kia roku moko andora. Amen.

Whatever you want to declare, I want to encourage you to make a declaration right now.

Amen. Alright. Well how are you guys doing? How are you doing? Let me know how you guys are going.
Good to be here today in the glory together.
I see Esther there, Deborah there, Noxali, Patty, great to have you all here together.
Billy, who else is there? Just say a little hi when you jump on.
Lisa, great to have you there. Wow, wow, wow.
Wow, wow, wow. Okay. Oh wow. Family, just great to be in the presence together as well just before we jump into this template.
That is the place that we want to stay, the place that we want to live from, and everything that we hope to accomplish.
We talked about this last week, the balance between...
Hi Raewyn, beautiful to see you there. Anna, hello, hello. Muffy, hi.
We talked about this last week, the balance between disciplines and to-do lists.
like worship, being in the presence, disciplines like fitness, what we're eating, what are
your other disciplines, feel free to chuck them in the comments there, wow, and so we've
got the discipline side of things that we're going to have to do those tomorrow, we're
never going to out, you know, we're never going to have to stop doing the disciplines
and then the to-do list, so the disciplines determine our state of being, right?
The disciplines determine our state of being, how we're stewarding our relationships, I
can't just look after my wife and my kids one day, it has to be a discipline, it has
to be a daily thing, it has to be, you know, constant and that's the disciplines and then
the to-do lists are things we're going to tick off and the to-do lists, they don't determine
our state of being, to-do lists determine our achievement, so we've got lifestyle based
success and achievement based success and both are really, really critical, right?
We want to have a divine state of being, we want to be in place of peak performance,
right?
Let me know if you want to be in a place of peak performance, where you want your body,
your soul and your spirit, your relationships, your health, your finances, you want all of
those things thriving, right?
You want a peak, you want like a state of being that is in peak performance, right?
We want that, we want a state of being that's in peak performance but then we also want
significance, we want to really get some amazing things done, so that's the disciplines and
then to-do lists and so today, the template that we're going to go and check out and you've
seen that in the description already, no doubt, is there's a link in the description of this
video that you can download the template for today, for this week, week 7, our last week
of the Extreme Ownership Challenge but this template is slightly different because we're
going to use this template over and over because this template is the review template, okay?
So we're going to do a review now but every 3 months, we're going to do a review, okay?
So every 3 months, we're going to do a review of our goals and how we're going with what
we're going after together because the dream for me is not to see you guys just complete
a course, the dream for me is to see us all collectively living in our dreams together.
What do you reckon, mate?
So for me, that's it, right?
That's the heart, that's the desire, hi Dyke, great to have you with us but isn't that the
dream for all of us?
The dream for all of us is that we want to step into our wildest dreams and we disciple
nations through fulfilled dreams, so for me, my heart, my mission, my mission is to see
you step into your wildest dreams, that's what I'm about, that's what I desire, so this
is not just a one-off event, you're in the Online School of Sonship and we're going to
do reviews every 3 months, okay, so this template is quite cool because we don't just
use it one time, we use it over and over, the other templates, you can use them over
and over too, they're designed to help you set yourself up for success and when you've
got a goal, those templates, you've got them, they will help you create the infrastructure
around it to really set yourself up for success to achieve that goal, alright, so normally
I would do this meeting through Zoom but Zoom changed some of their settings, so we're
doing a tech upgrade today, so I can't show you what I, I can't just do a screen share
like I'd normally do, but I will pull this up for you, so here's the template, it looks
like this, if you haven't got it already, hold still, ta-da, that's the review template
okay, so, just having another drink, crikey in that time of prayer and worship, I'm still
short breathed from my workout, I just finished and came straight into this video, I'm still
short of breath and sweating and panting and thirsty, but that's good, that's one, I'm
taking off one of my disciplines for the day, so in the review, let me show you this again,
so in the review, the idea is that we are reviewing goals, okay, so this whole way through
the process, you have chosen, you know, a goal that you really want to go after, so
this review is for you for when your time comes, because in the process and the template
so far, you've set up a time for when you want your goal to be achieved, so remember
a SMART goal, we've looked at this before, that stands for Specific SMART Goal, Specific
Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time Bound, okay, if you don't have a time frame
on a goal, then it's not a goal, okay, it needs a time frame for it to be a goal, because
a goal, you have to have a time line on it so that you can review it, now the review
process is really, really critical, because without a review, there's no accountability,
right, you can just, let me know if you've had this before, right, you've set goals and
things like that and then just forgotten about them, you've set goals but had no
accountability so you just kind of walk away they get lost and you get
distracted from them and the next thing pops up and you're on to that and you
haven't actually finished or achieved or accomplished what you set out to achieve
in the first place let me know if you know what that is like and the beauty of
a review is that the review is going to keep us all accountable say
accountability yeah so you know that in three months time I'm going to be
popping up again and going after accountability with you guys to make
sure hey you're actually doing what you set out to do you're actually achieving
it because listen this is not for play this is not for mucking around the world
needs you bringing your dreams to life like never before but your wildest
dreams are made up of countless little goals in the process so we need to be
mastering this process of ticking off goals specific measurable attainable
realistic and time bound now if you you might create your own system you might
want to you might create your own flow in this process it's really important
that you don't allow your goals your dreams to oppress you okay some people
take their goals and their dreams so seriously that they actually end up
stripping life from them your goals are there to serve you your systems that you
use are there to serve you so if you need to adjust the systems adjust the
goals a little bit so that they serve you better you don't want a goal to be
in a ruthless overlord you don't want a goal to be you know a tyrant over your
life you want a goal there to serve you your goals should be your best friends
reviews should be fantastic that these things should have a really good
atmosphere and they should feel really good that you that you've got
accountability it should feel really good that you've got goals it should
feel really good that you've got a review template and a review system in
place because that's going to help you take the next step that you need to take
to getting your goals so that's what we want to say okay I want to say
accountability so say that again with me say accountability right if we want to
thrive we need some accountability and when I talk about accountability I want
to say this that the accountability that I want to bring here is not
accountability that's watching your every step and going hmm are you
behaving I don't want that type of accountability right that's I want
that's kind of an orphan accountability where it's really more about control and
it's more about you know like spying on people I don't want that I want
accountability to greatness I want to see you and I know that you already
carry this but I want to see you take another step into your greatness there's
seeds of greatness that God's placed on the inside of you and you need to bring
those to life right you need to bring those to fruition and they're not going
to come to fruition if you're just sitting around if you're not doing
anything if you're not being serious if you're not taking it taking this whole
dynamic of the call of God really seriously and I don't think you can say
that you're taking the call of God in your life really seriously if you don't
have some goals if you don't have some to-do lists if you don't have some
plans in place because it's not just going to magically happen okay so we've
been through it now you guys have got all the templates now the seven sacred
systems for success you have them which is exciting and so what we want to do
going forward is we want to get in a rhythm okay you want to take all that
information you want to take all those systems and all those templates and then
just create an organic rhythm with them in your life you want to figure out what
works well how does it flow how does it work well so for me what works like the
best kind of system that works well for me is my strategy like I have primary
strategies and then I have individual strategies for different goals but it's
the kind of the way my white life works is I do what I see the father doing so
if there's a if there's something that has to happen in a particular day or
whatever I'm always asking Holy Spirit every day what is the single grace
greatest most important priority action that I have to take today okay so I've
got to have that I want that priority action I've got to have that priority
auction but I also get I do that on a season by season basis okay so I've
shown this to you guys before but this is like that this is the season okay so
this season it might last a few weeks it might last a month and then some of the
this is a to-do list for the season right so I just did this last week why
only if you know maybe less than a week ago I put this new one up and this has
got the things that I need for you know for coming up and then I'll put the
bigger projects that I need to do on a bigger scale and those some of those big
projects they have lots and lots and lots of little tasks attached to them so
all the little tasks they go on things like this like my daily to-do list okay
so I've got those things there hey we got a little kid let's see who's at
door number
Yep, come in. Ez, my man. Okay, Ez has been doing some homeschool. What have you got bud?
You've got the things you're thankful for? Okay guys, let's have a little look
at what Ezra is thankful for. Going to Tairua for my Lego. Yep. For my gems. Yep.
And what else are you thankful for? For my house. Yep. For my mum and dad. Yep. For my thankfulness. Yep.
For my succulents. Yep. And what's this one? For my friends, family. Yep. And love.
Oh, that's fantastic. So Ez, tell these guys on the video, thankfulness is what?
Happiness. Who's responsible for your happiness? Me. Yeah, that's right. How are
you gonna, how are you gonna be happy? Thankfulness. Good man. Thankfulness is
happiness. Awesome. Say see you to these guys. Bye. Great stuff. Good work on this, Ez.
And later you can bring it to me and I will write it out correctly and then you
can copy it. Cool? Good man. Okay, bless you. Good work, Ez. Isn't he the man?
Love you, Ez. He's the man teaching kids one of the most important lessons they'll
learn, which is thankfulness is happiness. And we teach that lesson every single day
to our kids. Thankfulness is happiness. So that's cool. I've been, I'm kind of
been homeschooling mum Alana and I, been homeschooling the kids in this season as
well, but they're gonna start school next week. So Monday next week they start
school, a really cool school, where we're moving into our new town. So that's cool.
Okay, so, so what I'm, what I'm saying, right, is you want to take all the
templates that we've done over this extreme ownership adventure, you want to
take all of the templates and the systems, the seven sacred systems for
success that we've looked at, and create a flow that works really, really well for
you. Now all those templates, I kind of do those things all the time, right, that
they're, but what I've boiled it down to is an organic flow that after using those
templates, and then if there's a particular thing that I really want to
do, like if I really, if I really need motivation, just, or you really need
motivation, just whip out the motivation template and put your goal through the
motivation template, and I tell you what, that motivation template will set your
goal on fire, it'll set your heart on fire, it'll bring you right back to the
significance, to the why, to all the reasons why this goal has to happen, it
will just light you up, okay. So, so I guess that's one of the things that I
want to just bring to you as we're kind of closing out this series, is that you
want to take everything that we've done and kind of create just an organic flow
with it, that's going to work for you on a regular basis. Okay, awesome, so let's
now go to the template again, and hopefully you've got a copy there in
front of you, if you've been able to download it, if you haven't, let me show
you this quickly, but it starts off, the first thing in the review, and so you
want to kind of get familiar with this process, because you can do it for
yourself whenever you want, just depending on when your, your, your
timeline is, right, for a goal, because we've got specific, measurable, attainable,
realistic, and timetabled, or time bound, so when, so choose your goal, name your
goal, put these details down here, you should already have those in the
templates that you've already done, and then you can just, you know, transfer that
from those templates that you've already got, put it here, or if you're creating a
new goal, you could create it here, if you just want to do a really quick set
up for a goal, but you've actually got a whole goal template, so I'd recommend
using that, and then, so it's got little questions as you go through, number three,
did you fully complete your SMART goal on time, and then if your answer is yes,
please go to number 14, okay, let's go to number 14, so if you did, if you use
this review on yourself, we'll be using it together, but I want to encourage you
to be setting a three-month goal, okay, what do you want to achieve in three
months, so what worked well for you in the process of accomplishing this goal,
okay, so if you did achieve the goal, it asks, the template asks you a couple of
questions about what worked well, what worked well for you in the process of
accomplishing this goal, and taking the time just to think about that could give
you some invaluable information and insights, then question number 15, is there
any part of the process that you can learn from that will add value to your
future, so just, you know, figuring out what went well, why did you succeed here,
putting those details down, number 16, please name your next high-priority SMART
goal, put that down there, because you want to keep building momentum, a goal is,
you know, it's one stepping stone, so what's the next stepping stone that you
need, and then number 17, what is the next best action that you can take towards
completing that goal, so this, this review also just sets you up for it with a bit
of momentum for your next,
next stage, and then when will you take this next action, and then the final thing in here,
we'll have to go back to, we'll go back because there's two lanes to this.
So once you've signed this statement, your review is complete, and then the statement
is I am 100% committed to accomplishing my goals and fulfilling my dreams.
So name it, date it, sign it, congratulations, you have now completed your smart review,
go and chase down your wildest dreams.
Okay, so we'll go back to the top.
Now if you didn't get the, so number three, did you complete your smart goal on time?
If you didn't, B, if your answer is no, then how far away are you from completing your
goal?
So this just helps you do a reality check on if you were close, if you were far, if
you were miles away, what was it like, did you nearly get your goal, or were you miles
away from it?
Then the next question is, was the time frame that you allocated to this goal realistic?
And that's something that, you know, you don't want to be harsh on yourself when it
comes to reviews and when it comes to looking at your goals, because you might have just
needed more time.
All the time, you know, it's really common that things will come up.
You guys know this, right?
You're going to get distractions, blindsides, all sorts of things will come up, and sometimes
you just didn't allow a realistic amount of time, and other times there's other reasons.
But we want to identify what were the issues.
Number five is, can you identify any reasons why you were not able to complete this goal?
Because we want to, here's a quick little saying for you, we want to isolate, what is
it, isolate, we want to minimize, isolate, or eliminate, okay, so you say minimize, isolate,
or eliminate.
If there's consistent reasons why you're not achieving your goals, you want to minimize,
isolate, or eliminate.
You want to figure out, okay, why was it that you didn't get this goal?
You want to think about it, go through there, and think about minimizing, isolating, or
eliminating.
Can you minimize the reason that you didn't get this goal?
Was it too much Netflix?
That was the reason?
Well, you can eliminate that.
You know, was it that you were just distracted that you didn't get this goal?
Well, you can eliminate that.
You know, you don't have to just minimize or isolate, you can eliminate some of those
things and change it up.
Question number six is, is this goal still significant and important enough that you
want to try again?
So if your answer, so A is, if your answer is no, please go to question 12.
So this is just like, sometimes a goal just actually becomes irrelevant, right?
So say your goal is to earn, you know, $100, or say your goal is to earn $10,000 so you
can buy a new car, but if you get given a new car, then you don't really, that's not
like a goal.
It's like, okay, so it will actually achieve the goal, or you might be wanting to get some
cricket gear to play cricket, but then actually you decide, actually, like, I want to play
rugby now, or whatever.
So there's just different reasons why a goal might become irrelevant, and some goals, let
me give you an example of this.
So there was a World Series earthquake, I think it was San Francisco, the World Series
earthquake, and it was during a World Series baseball game, and the earthquake struck,
and the whole city was just like in total chaos, right?
So that weekend, there would have been a lot of people who had a goal to make a whole bunch
of money off their business, because everyone's coming to San Fran for the World Series baseball
game.
But, right, those people who were planning to do a lot of business there, restaurants
or whatever, they needed to change their game plan up real quick, because their restaurants
were on fire, there were gas fires, there was, you know, the whole city was a war zone
because of this earthquake.
So sometimes there's circumstances outside of your control that mean you have to change
up, you have to, sometimes you have to just change up the goal that you've got for a good
reason.
So you just want to identify that, and say, you know, are you quitting this for a good
reason, or what?
On question number six, it says, is this goal still significant and important enough that
you want to try again?
A, if your answer is no, please go to question 12.
B, if your answer is yes, what is the new time frame that you will set for this goal?
So review option is, you just need to set a new timeline for getting this goal, or A,
let's go to question 12, and it says, question 12 says, can you remember why this goal was
important to you in the first place?
So it's just taking you back.
Do you really want to quit this?
Do you really want to leave this?
And the answer might be yes, and if it's yes, great, then just walk away from that goal,
because things change and you have to be flexible and change with them.
So then question number 13, after you've done that and really confirmed, yeah, I do want
to just leave this goal, number 13 says, are you certain that you no longer wish to complete
this goal?
A says, if you have decided that you no longer wish to complete this goal, please sign the
statement below.
and it says this SMART goal is no longer a priority in my life so name it, date it,
sign it. Or B, if you've decided that you do want to complete this goal then
return to question number 8. All right so question number 8 says what
actions were highly effective during your last attempt to complete this goal?
Because sometimes you might achieve a goal or you might fail to achieve a goal
but a few of the things you were doing were really good. So if we go back to
question 6, you can see it's kind of like a little bit of an adventure doing
this template because it just depends, you know, it's got multiple scenarios of
you know how you've gone with that goal. So back to question 6, is this goal
still significant and important enough that you want to try again? B, if your
answer is yes, what is the new time frame you want to set for this goal? So set the new
time frame. 7, can you remember why this goal was so important to you in the
first place? Yes, you can accept that. Number 8, what actions were highly
effective during your last attempt to complete this goal? So just getting some
more info out of it. And then, you know, because this stream now is for if you
didn't get it, number 9 is what will you do differently this time? Okay, so why
didn't you get that goal and what are you going to change it up? Because we've
got to make sure that, you know, if our strategy didn't work, we have to change
that strategy up. And you might have had a great strategy and I get this
sometimes, you know, I work my guts out trying hard to create a really awesome
strategy and I am not, I don't have any loyalty and I want to encourage you not
to have loyalty to a strategy just because you put a lot of time into it,
okay? Because, you know, the only thing worse than a bad strategy is implementing
it, okay? The only thing, you know, like sometimes I create these great
strategies for marketing or whatever, right? And then you test them. So I
always, when it comes to a strategy, you can do as much work on creating a
strategy as you like, but you can't really have too much loyalty to your
strategy. Don't get too emotionally connected to your strategies, okay? What
you want to be emotionally connected to is results. You want to be emotionally
connected to success. You see a lot of people that, you know, that do this with
buying houses. They buy houses out of emotion or they run a business out of
emotion rather than results. And if you're running it on emotion rather than
results, you know, you can get yourself in trouble. If you buy a house on emotion
rather than results or rather than facts, then you can kind of get yourself into a
lot of trouble. So number nine is just about analyzing, you know, what
strategies work for you, what didn't. Because, yeah, I'll definitely say that in
the process of creating strategy, you can do lots and lots of planning and then
have a strategy that just bombs on you. And that's okay. So the way that, one of
the ways that I think about that is that I always think when strategy, I
always think about strategy kind of objectively or just kind of from a
distance. I think, okay, I've created this strategy. We need to test it and see if
it works. Because you never want to be loyal to a strategy. You always want to
be loyal to your dream, okay? Because a strategy can kill your dream. The wrong
strategy, it'll kill your dream. So don't be loyal to strategies. Be loyal to your
dream and always ensure that, hey, you know, like if you had a plan, if it failed,
if something backfired, changed, whatever, don't worry, create a new strategy.
Strategies are a dime a dozen. And I'll say this about strategy, right?
This is one of God's best moves. If you look in the Bible, every single time you
look in the Bible, there is a strategy, okay? There's a strategy for success. If
you are Joshua and you're going to take over the promised land, there's a
strategy for success. If you're Joshua and you're going up in a city like
Jericho that can't be defeated, it's an inconquerable city, then God has a
strategy. And it might not look, it might look weird to you. It might look like God
saying, hey, march around the city seven times and blow some trumpets and that's
your strategy. Well, if that's the strategy that God has, that's the
strategy that you want to go after. So this is where intimacy with God and the
prophetic dynamic and just really connecting with God is going to really
help in the process of creating strategy. You know, you had Elisha and his
servant Gehazi. And Gehazi's like, oh no, you know, like as he sees the
enemy encamped around them. And then Elijah says to him, you know, Elijah says,
you know, Lord open his eyes so that he might see that those who are for us are
greater than those who are against us. And he opens Gehazi's eyes and all of a
sudden he's like, whoa, I'm seeing from a totally different dimension. So
strategy, strategy is one of the most critical areas of our lives. For me, it's
a day-by-day space and I'm always pulling on the spirit of wisdom for
strategy. I'm always leaning into God for strategy. This is John, which one is it?
This is John 5 19. I do only what I see the Father doing. I'm always on a daily
basis leaning in for strategy and I get strategy.
Even if I get a strategy from God, I'm like, right, I'm going to put this into place, I'm
going to implement it, but I'm not going to be loyal to the fact that I thought I heard
from God.
I'm going to be loyal to results, because sometimes even when we think we're hearing
from God, we can get it wrong.
I've had that really badly myself, and I've shared that with you guys in this journey
so far as well, that sometimes I am sure I've heard from God in a specific detail, and maybe
I did, maybe I implemented it wrong, maybe I got it wrong somewhere, but the litmus test,
the way of checking, it's just look at the results, what's the fruit from it, and you
want to be loyal to fruit, you want to be loyal to your vision.
So what 9x9 is, what will you do differently this time?
Let me think.
I just want to camp on this moment here of strategy just for a moment longer, because
this is going to be one of your most critical areas in your life when it comes to reviewing,
and you want to be doing this with your life, with your things, on a daily process, sometimes
multiple times a day, I'll be assessing strategy, and I'll be leaning in, I'm like, okay God,
what do we need to do, what do we need to do?
This is 2 Chronicles Chapter 20, 2 Chronicles Chapter 20 is Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat
says he's got three armies coming against him, and the whole of Israel is certain that
they're going to be wiped off the map, right?
The whole of Israel is certain that they're going to be wiped off the face of the earth
because of three entire armies coming against them, but they have this mindset, right?
They go into a place of worship, so that's the first time, and listen, when you're leaning
into God for strategy, it's not always pretty, it's not always like everything's nice and
fluffy, sometimes if you fail to achieve your goal, and you were all in on that goal, you'd
burnt your boats, you were all in, this was your only option, you'd done everything you
could, you'd gone 100% in this direction, and you were really trusting that this was
going to work, and it doesn't work, you can end up in a place of serious desperation,
and you need a strategy from heaven in that moment, and you're just like, God has to pull
through.
So take 2 Chronicles Chapter 20 with King Jehoshaphat, what they do when the three armies
are attacking them, they first go into a place of worship, they go into a place of fasting,
and then Jehoshaphat says something awesome, he says, we have no power to face this vast
army that is attacking us, and we do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you, Lord.
Oh my gosh, how beautiful is that?
And that is exactly where we find ourselves.
If you're following God, if you're chasing down a big, crazy, outrageous dream, if you
are going after exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond what you've ever dared to
ask, dream, pray, think, or even imagine, you are guaranteed to be going places where
you do not know the way, you do not know what to do, you do not know the strategy.
And if you've failed in the process, all it does is emphasize the desperate need that
you have for a fresh strategy from God.
The answer is, it's like, oh my gosh, I have to, I have to hear from God.
We find ourselves in that moment, and so what was awesome in Jehoshaphat's mindset is that
he went into a place of worship, and something beautiful about that, go into a place of worship,
go into a place of praying in the Spirit, but do not stress out, okay?
Absolutely, last thing you want to do is do not stress out, because stress will kill the
creative flow, okay?
You want to just do whatever you have to do, pray in the Spirit, worship, just go hard,
read your Bible, read through the Psalms until you get your peace, just go pray, pray, pray,
shift things, stir things up, but do not get stuck in a place of stress, because stress
will shut down the creative flow, stress will shut down your ability to hear the strategy
that you so desperately need, okay?
Don't go into a place of shame, don't go into a place of guilt, you've got to rise above
that in that moment, and you're going to get there.
If you can't get there, just by sitting quietly, put some worship music on, pray in the Spirit,
you've got to master your attention.
It's like I've talked about this before, self-arresting, right?
You can have a failure and your mindset starts crashing, it's like, oh my gosh, what am I
going to do?
Well, you've got to self-arrest, and in that moment you've got to get a new strategy, and
this is a huge part of the review process, is that you have to get a new strategy.
If it didn't work, you've got to get a new strategy, you've got to hear from God, but
to do that, you want to be in the space of the creative flow, you want to be in a place
of divine flow, and that's what Jehoshaphat ensured.
They went into fasting, they went into prayer, they went into worship, and they went into
waiting on God, and waiting on the Lord is a Hebrew word, kavah, Q-A-V-A-H, kavah, alright?
It means a place of divine entanglement.
It's like the same word used for weaving, okay?
So you weave yourself into the divine nature itself.
You weave yourself into oneness with God.
You weave yourself.
That's waiting on God.
So if you need a new strategy, you need to wait on God.
You need to wait on the Lord.
You need to kava, okay?
And it's not just going, well, I'm wasting my time.
What am I doing?
Come on, God.
It's not just trying to be patient and wait for the time to go by, as in that.
It is kava is to weave yourself into the very fabric of the being of God.
To weave yourself into oneness with God.
To weave yourself into the fabric of God like a rope is weaved.
That is kava and that is what Jehoshaphat did.
He weaved himself into oneness with God so that he was in a place where he could hear
from God.
And so God said, go out and, you know, go out and meet them.
And when they get to the pass of Ziz, they look out over the enemies and they've all
defeated themselves.
The two small armies banded together and killed the big army completely.
Then the two small armies fought each other completely and there was no one left.
It was just, all that was left was for Jehoshaphat's army to spend three days carrying away the
plunder.
But what he did is he put his worship team in the very front of his army and he went
out with delight.
So he went in this place of, of delight.
So what I want to say to you is that as you're waiting on the Lord as you want to stir it
up, you, you need a new strategy.
You've got to review your strategy.
You've got to hear from God.
So you avoid stress.
You don't go into that place of stress.
You stir yourself up, you're praying in the Spirit, you're waiting on the Lord, and you
get come, you've got to get yourself into that place of delight.
And I want to say that the sound of your delight is the sound of your breakthrough.
The sound of your delight is the sound of your breakthrough.
The sound of your delight is the sound of your breakthrough and it's in that place of
delight, right?
Where you're in the place of delight.
You're in that place where you're worshiping on earth as it is in heaven, even in the midst
of these circumstances.
You're in the place of delight.
You're in a place of worship.
You're in the place of adoration.
You're living above your circumstances in that place that you'll get the strategies
that you need.
Okay?
That is the place.
So I know that's a lot of time to spend on question number nine, but it's one of the
most critical aspects to the review process is that you know how to hear from God, to
get a word from the Lord, and to actually get your brand new strategy from heaven.
Boom!
Awesome.
Let me know how you get your strategies from heaven.
That's how I do it.
The sound of your delight is the sound of your breakthrough and you've got to live above
your circumstance, living overwhelmed by His presence.
And when you've got no ideas, and I regularly have no ideas left of what to do, how to do
it, and I just say, I do not know how to face this vast army that is attacking us.
We have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us, and I do not know what to
do, but my eyes are on you, Lord.
And when your eyes are on Him, you're waiting on Him, you're in a place of delight, He will
speak.
So number 10, what is the next best action that you can take towards completing this
goal?
Awesome.
Once you've got a strategy, that will become clear what your next best step is.
Number 10, number 11, when will you take this next best action?
So these questions here are again about helping you steward that momentum, maintain that momentum
as you're going forward.
And the next part says, once you've signed the statement, your review is complete.
I am 100% committed to accomplishing my goals and fulfilling my dreams, name it, date it,
sign it.
Boom!
Okay.
So that is the review template.
So you might be in a place right now where you've got a SMART goal that the timeline
is up.
Every time a goal comes up, like the timeline on one of your goals comes up, you want to
chuck it through this review process, see how it went, see how did it go.
And again, after a while of doing this, you might create your own organic system of reviewing
so that you can review these things really quickly, really effectively, and you want
to create these organic processes and systems where you're doing everything that's in the
seven sacred systems for success.
You want to have a way that you get these templates and it's just an organic flow of
life.
But before you've got to that place, you just want to be like, okay, sweet, I need to set
a new goal.
I'm going to set that up and then put on your phone or put on your calendar when the timeline
is set for that goal.
And when the timeline is up, then do a review on your goal and see how you went, see what
you can learn, see what you can take away from that process.
Sweet.
So I think that that is the gist for us of the review.
So I'm going to give you, obviously, this week, our last week, week seven, on tomorrow
at 9 a.m.
Again, same time, New Zealand time, tomorrow, 9 a.m. New Zealand time, I will be doing another
quick video that is going to be...
the Extreme Ownership Challenge for week seven and then Friday at 9 a.m. New
Zealand time same time we will have a live Q&A Zoom okay so look forward to
the live Zoom on Friday and that's us for now love you heaps fam let me know
if you've got any questions thoughts I'm just checking I'm checking the comments
now so if you've got any questions thoughts anything like that and then do
it Raewyn says do you have a weekly review Benji for the smaller stuff so
let me just check these comments I'm just checking the comments just to see
if right hang on hang on a minute here I'm trying to oh there we go okay I don't
have a weekly review system Raewyn but what I have is this I have this is what
I use for my reviews it's just calm I have a combination of like and it's more
like on the not necessarily reviewing but moment by moment really I'm looking
I'm constantly looking at this constantly looking at to-do lists
constantly looking at the projects and then I have my team that I work with so
I work with a team and you know we just look at results so everything is in my
world is results how's the results going and so yeah we have some different
structures as well around you know looking at those things so I've got lots
of different things around in my life as well that I use to kind of measure
results so it's really good to just be able to measure your results and that's
one of the good things about a goal system a specific measurable attainable
realistic time bound goal is that it enables you to measure things so I've
got a quite a few things that I use to measure my results and you know like
these things here it's quite measurable did I do it didn't I do it and then the
like for me everything's quite time bound as well so yeah so that's just
kind of how my world works you guys will I guess create your own organic
flow of how that works for you sweet okay I think that's it but last chance
now last chance now to ask a question about this otherwise we're going to sign
off for today okay awesome family love you very much and you guys have a
wonderful wonderful week I'll see you again 9 a.m. New Zealand time tomorrow
