Be True To Yourself.

As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.

Proverbs 27:19

Take Action

  After you answer the challenge I want you to do something for me.

Make a list!

That’s right, if you are reading this on your computer I want you to open up a word document, hit the bullet point icon and make a list.  If you are a write it down on paper person, then get your journal out and start making a list.  Don’t be like my kids, you have to be able to read what you write. (ok that’s me not my kids, except Billy his notes are crazy hard to read. Lol love you son, you got that from me!)

I want you to list out everything you are good at!  EVERYTHING!!!! (don’t worry I’ll show you part of mine).

If you’re having trouble getting started I will help you with the first one.

You are an amazing Godly person.

Now turn on a song you love and start writing!

Last step.

Send that list to me.  Take a picture of it or send over the document you created.  I want to celebrate with you everything you are good at.

Prayer

Lord God, Father in Heaven it is amazing the opportunities you give unto us.  We are so grateful for every single experience that you bless us with.  God today I want to pause and say thank you to Russell Brunson’s team for the amazing experience that blessed so many families with (over 400!).  Thank you for helping them to take action and listen when you give them an idea.  God, Next I would like to pray for some ambition to be instilled in all of us. Help us all to look at the talents you gave us and take action on them.  Help us to first off, give you credit for those amazing talents we all have. Second, we want to ask for help putting those amazing talents into action!  Help give us the motivation to act on those amazing talents. God you are so awesome. And we are thankful for that! Lastly God, we would pray that you help us to be the people you designed us to be. Help our actions to be a true reflection of who we are and who you need us to be.

God we would like to ask all these things in your precious Son’s name

Amen.

A Little More

  Oh man, I love this part!!

On the first night of Unlock the Secrets they brought out a hypnotist.  He was amazing.

He did something completely different than I have ever seen before.

Instead of taking volunteers, he decided to hypnotize the WHOLE crowd.

He talked about the process and how we could use the process to change our mindset and the mental blocks that we have.

Then he worked amazing magic on everyone. 

The first thing he did was tell us that we would not remember our names.

Well, I was sitting next to Brianna and I knew my name so I was pretty sure it didn’t work on me.

Then she kindly asked me, “Dad what’s your name?”

I knew my name but when I went to tell her what it was I could not get the words to come out of my mouth.

Billy was the exact same.

So she encouraged us to go up on stage with the others who could remember their name.

WE got up there and he checked to see if we were really hypnotized. Those of us who were there kept there.

Then we got to have some fun.

I have to say, I have been hypnotized before. A long time ago.  But this is by far the best experience I have ever had.

We got to meet bigfoot, give the world’s worst business advice, and meet a celebrity of our choice.  He even went invisible for a while. I almost forgot we got to be 5 years old again and have fun, in kindergarten and pose as a statue for the chance to win $$$. Plus a few other things.

During the show, when he became bigfoot I was about the only one who wasn’t scared of him.  

He came up and asked me what size shoe he wore. My answer was, “big!” Then before he could leave I asked him if he would be willing to go back to Colorado with us and live a GREAT life in the mountains so that Billy could do guided Sasquatch sightings as a business. Lol

When it came to the “best” worst business advice I could give any entrepreneur mine was right on spot, “never take any action, be lazy, don’t take risk, never listen to anyone smarter than you (because you know it all), and never take any advice from those who are further ahead of you in business, EVER!”

Epic, right??

You might be asking why I’m bringing this up here after a devotional that talks about how your actions reflect who you really are.

Well when you are hypnotized, you don’t really get to think about your answers before they come out of your mouth. Just like you don’t get to think about your actions before they happen.

When we were five years old we were coloring our imaginary coloring books and then he made them two times bigger. Then he did it again so they were huge.

The woman next to me looked over and shoved me. I just ignored her.  But she was legitimately upset that I colored in her book. While I looked at the girl next to me and said she should color in my book since mine was covering hers up.

Later Jenna said that even in kindergarten I was hitting on girls.  Lol

Do you see what I mean by our actions are reflections of who we are.

Under hypnosis, I had the opportunity to get upset when someone was mad at me or I could move on and not worry about it.

I chose not to worry about it.

Anyways….

I want to give a HUGE shout out to Russell Brunson, his family, and his entire team for putting on an amazing family event where kids can learn about business.

Also for not getting upset at me for telling everyone in the room to NEVER take any advice on business (best, worst business advice I could ever give).

Next time you get the chance to do something new.

DO IT!!
