Core Values & How To Get Yours.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing”

John 15:5

Ok, great job. Now re-arrange those sticky notes into groups. There should be about 5-6 groups.

Those are your core values.  These are things that bring you the most joy.

Mine are:

      Family

      Travel

      Business/ Building something amazing

      Community

      Health

      God

I know some of those surprised me too!  What the heck, I had no idea I was into health!

Russell Brunson calls these “hall of fame goals”, but I like to call them my core values.

They are my core values because when someone looks at my life I want them to see these things shining brighter and stronger than anything else.

If you go back and review my Facebook profile I’ll bet that you can see this.

I will also bet that you can see how my core values have changed over the past 10+ years too.

Take Action

So here’s what I want you to do! 

After you do the exercise, reflect on your life and what it someone who doesn’t know you from Adam would see when they find your profile.   

Here are my company’s core values written out.

Eclipse DOT is the leader in the transportation community.  We help people build, grow, and scale their businesses to levels that they have only dreamed about.

Eclipse DOT values family. Not only our teams’ families but also the families of our community!  We know that if we don’t have the support of those close to us then we can never truly grow.

Communities are an integral part of our lives.  Eclipse DOT encourages the development and growth of communities. The way we encourage growth in our community is through networking and making new connections.

Eclipse DOT encourages everyone on our team to live not only a healthy lifestyle but also to have a healthy mindset.  Because our mind is the most powerful tool that we have.  Fun Fact your brain only makes up about 2% of your body weight but consumes 20% of your daily calories. So eat healthily and exercise daily!

Traveling adds excitement to our lives.  We encourage our whole team to travel multiple times throughout the year.  We also encourage our community to travel too.  Not only to our events but also to fun and exciting locations.

Here at Eclipse DOT, we believe that God is the reason for everything.  He gives us ideas, guidance, and the strength to continue.  God is a major part of the company, our culture, and our values.  We also know that it is ok if you don’t believe the same way we do. 

Can you see how these relate directly to my personal core values?

Now get out there, figure out what your values are, and share them with the world!

PS if you ever need help getting something done, just start writing a devotional on it, and then you’ll have to finish writing them out.  That’s what happened to me. Lol

Prayer

Lord, God, today we come to you with full hearts. We are so grateful that you give us so much more than we deserve.  God, we are grateful for the opportunity to network and also to share what we learn.  God, I pray that you would help everyone who reads this to take action and actually do the exercise. I pray that you would help each and every one of us to really find our true core values.  God, I pray that you would help us to truly find why you designed us and follow you in everything that we do. God, I pray that you would help us to live a life that when others see us and how we act and react that they can see alive in our every action. God, we are so grateful that you give us guidance and love to share with the world.  I pray that you will light our path even brighter than you have before.

In your precious son’s name, we ask all these things.

Amen

A little More

Jenna and I spent a week in Cancun, Mexico for this amazing experience. 

And let me tell you it was amazing and life-changing for both of us.

I have to say that I took WAY more notes than she did. Lol

But I do believe that it opened her eyes even more to some of the possibilities that are out there for us.

Throughout the week we casually bumped into Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson (the creators of Click Funnels) several times and had some great conversations with both of them.

The first night of the mastermind we had a group dinner. When Jenna walked in she said, “you lead the way.”

Well, I chose a table that was, to say the least, not our style!  I’m not saying that they weren’t nice, or that they weren’t successful. 

I’m just saying that we didn’t jive.  Our conversations didn’t bring anything to fruition for either of us.

Then later in the week, we had another group dinner.

This time I told Jenna, “I picked the last table and it was a MAJOR flop.  This time it’s your turn.”

Well, Jenna is way smarter than I am.  She said out loud, “God help guide us to a table that will be perfect for us.”

Why didn’t I think of that? 

Ask and the door will be opened.

Anyways…..

We had dinner with a couple. She was from Romania and used to be a professional gymnast. He was in the medical field and had a business that helped Dr.s take the step out on their own. Among many other things. 

During the conversation, we talked about both of our businesses. It was amazing to hear what he had accomplished, and in turn, he was amazed to hear where we are in our business too.

After talking for a few minutes we got onto the topic of the software we are building.  He asked what it does and what its purpose was.

Then after talking a little more, he looked over at me, smiled, and said, “have you ever thought about building that exact same system for the medical field?”

I was filled with excitement and scared to death at the same time. 

Excited because someone else saw the validity in our program. 

Scared to death because I realized that we haven’t even begun to touch the potential of our program.  

God is Great, all we have to do is pray, listen, and take action!

Will you pray with us?

Mankind throughout the world throughout our current situation

All Law enforcement and emergency response personnel

For all military personal serving our country and their families

Those in Leadership positions throughout the world
