  of

  choice.
• 0:32
  In
• 0:32
  today's
• 0:32
  episode,
• 0:33
  we
• 0:33
  are
• 0:33
  going
• 0:33
  to
• 0:33
  be
• 0:33
  talking
• 0:34
  about
• 0:34
  one
• 0:34
  of,
• 0:35
  if
• 0:35
  not,
• 0:35
  the
• 0:36
  greatest
• 0:36
  gift
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  given
• 0:37
  as
• 0:38
  human
• 0:38
  beings.
• 0:38
  And
• 0:38
  that
• 0:38
  is
• 0:39
  the
• 0:39
  gift
• 0:39
  of
• 0:40
  being
• 0:40
  able
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  choose.
• 0:42
  Now,
• 0:42
  we've
• 0:42
  got
• 0:42
  to
• 0:42
  back
• 0:43
  up
• 0:43
  a
• 0:43
  little
• 0:43
  bit
• 0:43
  and
• 0:43
  talk
• 0:43
  about
• 0:44
  some
• 0:44
  core
• 0:44
  tenants
• 0:45
  of
• 0:45
  Christianity,
• 0:46
  specifically
• 0:46
  my
• 0:47
  faith
• 0:47
  and
• 0:47
  I'm
• 0:47
  sure
• 0:47
  most
• 0:48
  Christians
• 0:48
  out
• 0:48
  there
• 0:49
  is
• 0:49
  that
• 0:50
  we
• 0:50
  believe
• 0:50
  we
• 0:51
  lived
• 0:51
  before
• 0:51
  this
• 0:51
  earth
• 0:52
  life.
• 0:52
  Right.
• 0:52
  We
• 0:52
  lived
• 0:53
  before
• 0:53
  we'll
• 0:53
  live
• 0:53
  again.
• 0:54
  After
• 0:54
  that
• 0:54
  living
• 0:54
  here
• 0:55
  on
• 0:55
  earth
• 0:55
  is
• 0:55
  just
• 0:55
  a
• 0:55
  small
• 0:56
  portion
• 0:56
  of
• 0:56
  our
• 0:57
  existence.
• 0:58
  And
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  main
• 0:58
  thing
• 0:58
  to
• 0:58
  understand
• 0:59
  about
• 0:59
  the
• 0:59
  life
• 1:00
  that
• 1:00
  came
• 1:00
  before
• 1:01
  this
• 1:01
  life.
• 1:02
  Was
• 1:02
  that
• 1:02
  there
• 1:02
  was
• 1:02
  a
• 1:02
  great
• 1:03
  conflict
• 1:03
  in
• 1:03
  it.
• 1:04
  God
• 1:05
  wanted
• 1:06
  us
• 1:06
  to
• 1:06
  get,
• 1:06
  have
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  chance
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  get
• 1:07
  bodies,
• 1:08
  to
• 1:08
  learn
• 1:08
  how
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  choose
• 1:09
  right
• 1:09
  from
• 1:09
  wrong,
• 1:10
  how
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  make
• 1:10
  mistakes
• 1:11
  and
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  see
• 1:12
  whether
• 1:13
  or
• 1:13
  not
• 1:13
  we
• 1:13
  would
• 1:13
  choose
• 1:14
  him
• 1:14
  in
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  long
• 1:14
  run.
• 1:15
  Now
• 1:15
  Satan,
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  enemy
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  all
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  us
• 1:17
  didn't
• 1:18
  want
• 1:18
  this.
• 1:18
  He
• 1:19
  wanted
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  to
• 1:19
  remove
• 1:20
  our
• 1:20
  power,
• 1:20
  to
• 1:21
  choose
• 1:21
  and
• 1:21
  to
• 1:21
  force
• 1:22
  us
• 1:22
  all
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  be
• 1:22
  good
• 1:23
  and
• 1:23
  return
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  God.
• 1:24
  Now
• 1:24
  on
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  surface
• 1:24
  level,
• 1:25
  that
• 1:25
  might
• 1:25
  sound
• 1:25
  great.
• 1:25
  Some
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  us
• 1:26
  parents
• 1:26
  are
• 1:26
  like,
• 1:26
  yeah,
• 1:26
  what's
• 1:26
  wrong
• 1:27
  with
• 1:27
  that?
• 1:27
  Let's
• 1:27
  just
• 1:27
  force
• 1:27
  our
• 1:27
  kids
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  be
• 1:28
  good.
• 1:29
  Then.
• 1:29
  We
• 1:30
  don't
• 1:30
  have
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  suffer.
• 1:30
  Nobody
• 1:31
  has
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  suffer.
• 1:31
  It's
• 1:31
  all
• 1:31
  going
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  be
• 1:32
  great.
• 1:32
  But
• 1:32
  of
• 1:33
  course
• 1:33
  that's
• 1:33
  not
• 1:33
  how
• 1:33
  it
• 1:33
  really
• 1:34
  pans
• 1:34
  out
• 1:34
  in
• 1:34
  order
• 1:34
  for
• 1:35
  us
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  find
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  greatest
• 1:35
  joy
• 1:36
  there
• 1:36
  has
• 1:36
  to
• 1:37
  be.
• 1:37
  Uh,
• 1:37
  right
• 1:37
  in
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  wrong,
• 1:38
  there
• 1:38
  has
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  be
• 1:38
  that
• 1:38
  dichotomy.
• 1:39
  Good
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  bad
• 1:40
  light
• 1:40
  and
• 1:40
  dark.
• 1:41
  We
• 1:41
  talked
• 1:41
  about
• 1:41
  this
• 1:41
  in
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  previous
• 1:41
  episode.
• 1:43
  Now,
• 1:43
  obviously
• 1:43
  in
• 1:44
  this
• 1:44
  pre
• 1:44
  earth
• 1:44
  battle
• 1:45
  God
• 1:45
  one,
• 1:46
  cause
• 1:46
  he
• 1:46
  always
• 1:46
  will.
• 1:47
  But
• 1:47
  unfortunately
• 1:47
  we
• 1:47
  lost
• 1:48
  some
• 1:48
  of
• 1:48
  our
• 1:48
  brothers
• 1:49
  and
• 1:49
  sisters
• 1:49
  in
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  process.
• 1:50
  In
• 1:50
  fact,
• 1:50
  I'm
• 1:50
  just
• 1:50
  reading
• 1:50
  in
• 1:51
  revelation
• 1:51
  12.
• 1:51
  It
• 1:52
  talks
• 1:52
  about
• 1:52
  this
• 1:52
  in
• 1:52
  some
• 1:52
  really
• 1:53
  colorful.
• 1:54
  Symbolic
• 1:54
  language.
• 1:55
  It
• 1:55
  talks
• 1:55
  about
• 1:56
  Satan
• 1:56
  being
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  dragon.
• 1:57
  And
• 1:57
  it
• 1:57
  talks
• 1:57
  about
• 1:57
  this
• 1:57
  war
• 1:58
  in
• 1:58
  heaven.
• 1:58
  Out
• 1:58
  of
• 1:58
  this
• 1:58
  dragon
• 1:59
  was
• 1:59
  cast
• 1:59
  out
• 2:00
  that
• 2:00
  being
• 2:00
  Satan
• 2:00
  right
• 2:00
  along
• 2:01
  with
• 2:01
  his
• 2:01
  angel.
• 2:01
  So
• 2:02
  what
• 2:02
  do
• 2:02
  we
• 2:02
  learn
• 2:03
  from
• 2:03
  the
• 2:04
  spiritual
• 2:04
  history?
• 2:04
  Well,
• 2:04
  I
• 2:05
  think
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  most
• 2:05
  important
• 2:06
  thing
• 2:06
  we
• 2:06
  learn
• 2:07
  is
• 2:07
  that
• 2:07
  God
• 2:07
  values
• 2:08
  our
• 2:08
  power
• 2:08
  to
• 2:09
  choose
• 2:09
  more
• 2:09
  than
• 2:10
  anything
• 2:11
  else.
• 2:12
  He
• 2:12
  was
• 2:12
  willing
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  let
• 2:13
  a
• 2:13
  huge
• 2:14
  portion
• 2:14
  of
• 2:14
  his
• 2:14
  own
• 2:15
  children
• 2:15
  follow
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  enemy
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  their
• 2:17
  souls.
• 2:18
  Rather
• 2:18
  than
• 2:19
  forcing
• 2:19
  them
• 2:19
  to
• 2:20
  stay
• 2:20
  with
• 2:20
  him.
• 2:21
  Like
• 2:22
  as
• 2:22
  a
• 2:22
  parent
• 2:23
  who
• 2:23
  just
• 2:23
  let
• 2:23
  a
• 2:23
  kid
• 2:24
  leave
• 2:24
  home.
• 2:24
  That
• 2:24
  is
• 2:25
  mind
• 2:25
  blowing
• 2:25
  to
• 2:25
  me
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  instead
• 2:26
  of
• 2:27
  saying
• 2:27
  no,
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  best
• 2:28
  choice
• 2:28
  for
• 2:28
  you
• 2:28
  is
• 2:28
  to
• 2:29
  stay
• 2:29
  here
• 2:29
  with
• 2:29
  me.
• 2:30
  He
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  willing
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  let
• 2:31
  them
• 2:31
  go
• 2:31
  and
• 2:32
  make
• 2:32
  that
• 2:32
  mistake
• 2:32
  because
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  power
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  choose
• 2:34
  was
• 2:34
  so
• 2:35
  important.
• 2:36
  And
• 2:36
  we're
• 2:37
  talking
• 2:37
  about
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  God
• 2:37
  of
• 2:37
  the
• 2:38
  universe
• 2:38
  here.
• 2:38
  He
• 2:38
  has
• 2:38
  the
• 2:39
  power
• 2:39
  over
• 2:39
  anything
• 2:40
  and
• 2:40
  everything
• 2:40
  he
• 2:40
  can
• 2:41
  make
• 2:41
  or
• 2:41
  unmake
• 2:42
  anything
• 2:43
  he
• 2:43
  wants
• 2:43
  to,
• 2:43
  he
• 2:44
  absolutely
• 2:44
  had
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  power
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  force
• 2:46
  them.
• 2:46
  But
• 2:46
  he
• 2:46
  didn't.
• 2:47
  Isn't
• 2:48
  that
• 2:48
  fascinating.
• 2:49
  He
• 2:50
  will
• 2:50
  never
• 2:51
  mess
• 2:52
  with
• 2:52
  our
• 2:52
  agency
• 2:53
  or
• 2:53
  that
• 2:53
  power
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  choose.
• 2:55
  Why.
• 2:56
  Why
• 2:56
  is
• 2:57
  that
• 2:57
  so
• 2:57
  important?
• 2:57
  We're
• 2:57
  going
• 2:57
  to
• 2:57
  dive
• 2:58
  a
• 2:58
  little
• 2:58
  bit
• 2:58
  into
• 2:58
  that
• 2:59
  and
• 2:59
  talk
• 2:59
  specifically
• 3:00
  about
• 3:00
  how
• 3:00
  it
• 3:00
  affects
• 3:01
  us
• 3:01
  in
• 3:01
  our
• 3:01
  businesses.
• 3:03
  So
• 3:03
  what
• 3:03
  does
• 3:03
  this
• 3:03
  power
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  choose?
• 3:04
  Mean
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  us
• 3:05
  in
• 3:05
  our
• 3:05
  day-to-day
• 3:05
  lives.
• 3:06
  Well,
• 3:06
  if
• 3:07
  agency.
• 3:08
  Is
• 3:08
  our
• 3:08
  greatest
• 3:09
  gift.
• 3:10
  Then
• 3:10
  I
• 3:10
  would
• 3:10
  argue
• 3:11
  it's
• 3:11
  also
• 3:11
  our
• 3:11
  greatest
• 3:11
  responsibility.
• 3:12
  With
• 3:12
  great
• 3:13
  power
• 3:13
  comes.
• 3:13
  Great
• 3:13
  responsibility,
• 3:14
  right.
• 3:14
  Superman
• 3:15
  new
• 3:15
  it.
• 3:15
  We
• 3:15
  have
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  know
• 3:16
  it
• 3:16
  too.
• 3:17
  Or
• 3:17
  was
• 3:17
  it
• 3:17
  Spiderman?
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  think
• 3:17
  it
• 3:18
  was
• 3:18
  Spiderman
• 3:18
  anyway.
• 3:19
  Those
• 3:19
  of
• 3:20
  us
• 3:20
  who
• 3:20
  choose
• 3:20
  God's
• 3:21
  plan
• 3:21
  are
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  ones
• 3:21
  that
• 3:21
  are
• 3:21
  here
• 3:22
  on
• 3:22
  earth.
• 3:23
  And
• 3:23
  it's
• 3:23
  important
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  realize
• 3:24
  that
• 3:24
  Satan
• 3:25
  continues
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  fight.
• 3:26
  Mercilessly
• 3:27
  against
• 3:27
  us
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  make
• 3:28
  us
• 3:28
  relinquish
• 3:29
  that
• 3:29
  power.
• 3:30
  Because
• 3:30
  as
• 3:30
  long
• 3:31
  as
• 3:31
  we
• 3:31
  have
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  power
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  choose,
• 3:32
  we
• 3:32
  can
• 3:32
  choose
• 3:33
  God
• 3:33
  over
• 3:33
  him
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  we
• 3:34
  can
• 3:35
  choose
• 3:35
  joy.
• 3:36
  We
• 3:36
  can
• 3:36
  choose
• 3:36
  peace.
• 3:37
  We
• 3:37
  can
• 3:37
  choose
• 3:37
  love.
• 3:38
  We
• 3:38
  can
• 3:38
  choose
• 3:38
  all
• 3:39
  these
• 3:39
  good
• 3:39
  things
• 3:39
  that
• 3:39
  God
• 3:39
  has
• 3:40
  taught
• 3:40
  us
• 3:40
  to
• 3:40
  choose.
• 3:41
  But
• 3:41
  we
• 3:41
  have
• 3:41
  to
• 3:41
  hold
• 3:42
  onto
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  power
• 3:42
  because
• 3:43
  because
• 3:43
  we
• 3:44
  also
• 3:44
  have
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  power
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  relinquish
• 3:45
  that
• 3:46
  power
• 3:46
  to
• 3:46
  choose.
• 3:46
  What
• 3:46
  does
• 3:46
  that
• 3:47
  look
• 3:47
  like?
• 3:47
  Well,
• 3:48
  it
• 3:48
  looks
• 3:48
  like
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  victim
• 3:48
  hood
• 3:49
  mentality.
• 3:49
  Have
• 3:49
  you
• 3:49
  ever
• 3:49
  met
• 3:50
  somebody?
• 3:50
  Who's
• 3:50
  like,
• 3:50
  what
• 3:51
  was
• 3:51
  me?
• 3:51
  Everything
• 3:52
  bad
• 3:52
  happens
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  me.
• 3:52
  There's
• 3:52
  nothing
• 3:53
  I
• 3:53
  can
• 3:53
  do
• 3:53
  about
• 3:53
  it.
• 3:54
  That
• 3:54
  is
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  form
• 3:55
  of
• 3:55
  relinquishing
• 3:55
  your
• 3:55
  power
• 3:55
  to
• 3:56
  choose.
• 3:57
  Damaging
• 3:57
  or
• 3:58
  harming
• 3:58
  abusing.
• 3:58
  Another
• 3:59
  person
• 4:00
  can
• 4:00
  actually
• 4:00
  harm
• 4:01
  their
• 4:01
  power
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  choose.
• 4:02
  Right?
• 4:02
  If
• 4:02
  someone
• 4:03
  undergoes
• 4:03
  trauma
• 4:04
  at
• 4:04
  becomes
• 4:04
  more
• 4:05
  difficult
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  make
• 4:06
  conscious
• 4:06
  life
• 4:07
  choices,
• 4:07
  because
• 4:07
  they're
• 4:07
  dealing
• 4:08
  with
• 4:08
  this
• 4:08
  damaged
• 4:09
  nervous
• 4:09
  system.
• 4:10
  Addictions
• 4:11
  huge
• 4:12
  one.
• 4:12
  When
• 4:13
  you
• 4:13
  were
• 4:13
  addicted
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  something
• 4:14
  your
• 4:14
  power
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  choose
• 4:15
  is
• 4:15
  lessened.
• 4:17
  If
• 4:17
  you
• 4:17
  don't
• 4:17
  believe
• 4:17
  me,
• 4:18
  eat
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  whole
• 4:18
  bunch
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  sugar
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  then
• 4:19
  tell
• 4:19
  yourself
• 4:20
  you're
• 4:20
  going
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  go
• 4:20
  off
• 4:20
  sugar
• 4:21
  for
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  month.
• 4:22
  It's
• 4:22
  extremely
• 4:23
  difficult
• 4:23
  because
• 4:23
  your
• 4:23
  addiction
• 4:24
  has
• 4:24
  programmed
• 4:25
  your
• 4:25
  body
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  brain
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  crave
• 4:27
  and
• 4:27
  desire
• 4:27
  this
• 4:27
  thing,
• 4:28
  even
• 4:28
  though,
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  know,
• 4:28
  it's
• 4:28
  not
• 4:29
  good
• 4:29
  for
• 4:29
  you,
• 4:29
  same
• 4:29
  with
• 4:30
  any
• 4:30
  sort
• 4:30
  of.
• 4:31
  Addictive
• 4:31
  substance
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  addictive
• 4:33
  behaviors,
• 4:34
  scrolling
• 4:34
  Instagram
• 4:35
  pornography.
• 4:36
  Oversleeping
• 4:37
  over
• 4:37
  Netflixing
• 4:38
  anything
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  derive
• 4:39
  a
• 4:39
  lot
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  pleasure
• 4:40
  from
• 4:40
  can
• 4:40
  become
• 4:40
  an
• 4:41
  addictive
• 4:41
  behavior
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  then
• 4:42
  makes
• 4:42
  it
• 4:42
  harder
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  step
• 4:44
  away
• 4:44
  from.
• 4:45
  So
• 4:45
  it
• 4:46
  can
• 4:46
  be
• 4:46
  very
• 4:47
  easy
• 4:47
  for
• 4:48
  us
• 4:48
  to
• 4:48
  kind
• 4:48
  of
• 4:48
  let
• 4:48
  go
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  this
• 4:49
  responsibility
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  choosing.
• 4:51
  And
• 4:51
  just
• 4:52
  kind
• 4:52
  of
• 4:52
  flow
• 4:52
  along
• 4:52
  with
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  tide
• 4:53
  of
• 4:53
  life.
• 4:54
  We
• 4:54
  never
• 4:54
  plant
• 4:55
  our
• 4:55
  feet
• 4:55
  in
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  river
• 4:56
  and
• 4:56
  stand
• 4:57
  up
• 4:57
  and
• 4:57
  say,
• 4:57
  wait,
• 4:57
  stop.
• 4:58
  I
• 4:58
  want
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  choose
• 4:59
  differently.
• 5:00
  Than
• 5:00
  how
• 5:00
  my
• 5:00
  life
• 5:00
  is
• 5:00
  going
• 5:01
  or
• 5:01
  how
• 5:01
  everybody
• 5:01
  has
• 5:02
  expected
• 5:02
  me
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  choose.
• 5:04
  Now
• 5:04
  think
• 5:04
  about
• 5:04
  middle
• 5:05
  school
• 5:05
  for
• 5:05
  a
• 5:05
  minute.
• 5:05
  This
• 5:05
  is
• 5:06
  Middle
• 5:06
  school
• 5:06
  is
• 5:06
  an
• 5:06
  excellent
• 5:07
  albeit
• 5:08
  tragic
• 5:08
  example
• 5:09
  of
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  peer
• 5:10
  pressure
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  we've
• 5:10
  all
• 5:11
  experienced
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  our
• 5:11
  youth.
• 5:12
  It
• 5:12
  was
• 5:12
  so
• 5:13
  easy
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  just
• 5:14
  go
• 5:14
  along
• 5:14
  with
• 5:14
  making
• 5:14
  fun
• 5:15
  of
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  nerdy
• 5:15
  kid,
• 5:16
  because
• 5:16
  all
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  kids
• 5:16
  cool
• 5:16
  kids
• 5:16
  were
• 5:17
  doing
• 5:17
  it.
• 5:17
  Or
• 5:18
  giving
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  teacher
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  hard
• 5:19
  time
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  substitute
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  hard
• 5:20
  time.
• 5:20
  It
• 5:20
  was
• 5:21
  so
• 5:21
  easy
• 5:22
  in
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  seventh
• 5:22
  grade
• 5:22
  to
• 5:22
  cuss
• 5:23
  like
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  sailor
• 5:23
  because
• 5:24
  who'd
• 5:24
  even
• 5:24
  cuss
• 5:24
  like
• 5:24
  a
• 5:24
  sailor
• 5:25
  in
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  seventh
• 5:25
  grade.
• 5:26
  Later
• 5:26
  on,
• 5:27
  maybe
• 5:27
  we
• 5:27
  made
• 5:27
  different
• 5:28
  choices,
• 5:28
  but
• 5:29
  it
• 5:29
  was
• 5:29
  so
• 5:30
  easy
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  just
• 5:30
  do
• 5:30
  what
• 5:30
  everyone
• 5:31
  else
• 5:31
  was
• 5:31
  doing
• 5:32
  because
• 5:32
  we
• 5:32
  hadn't
• 5:33
  yet
• 5:33
  formed
• 5:33
  this
• 5:33
  full.
• 5:34
  Picture
• 5:34
  of
• 5:34
  ourselves
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  really
• 5:36
  learn
• 5:36
  who
• 5:36
  we
• 5:36
  wanted
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  be
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  how
• 5:37
  we
• 5:37
  wanted
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  stand
• 5:38
  up
• 5:38
  in
• 5:38
  life.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:39
  we
• 5:40
  probably
• 5:40
  didn't
• 5:40
  have
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  lot
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  courage
• 5:41
  yet,
• 5:41
  so
• 5:42
  we
• 5:42
  don't
• 5:42
  want
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  be
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  middle
• 5:43
  school
• 5:43
  versions
• 5:43
  of
• 5:44
  ourselves.
• 5:44
  We
• 5:44
  want
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  be
• 5:45
  willing
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  stand
• 5:46
  up
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  say,
• 5:46
  this
• 5:47
  is
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  choice
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  want
• 5:48
  and
• 5:48
  go
• 5:48
  boldly
• 5:48
  in
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  direction.
• 5:50
  Because
• 5:50
  our
• 5:51
  true
• 5:51
  power.
• 5:52
  Comes
• 5:53
  from
• 5:53
  exercising.
• 5:54
  This
• 5:54
  agency.
• 5:56
  Especially
• 5:56
  when
• 5:56
  it's
• 5:57
  hard
• 5:57
  and
• 5:57
  inconvenient.
• 5:58
  So
• 5:59
  I'm
• 5:59
  going
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  repeat
• 5:59
  that
• 5:59
  little
• 6:00
  truth
• 6:00
  bomb.
• 6:01
  Your
• 6:01
  true
• 6:01
  power
• 6:02
  comes
• 6:02
  from
• 6:02
  exercising
• 6:03
  your
• 6:03
  agency,
• 6:04
  especially
• 6:05
  when
• 6:05
  it's
• 6:06
  hard.
• 6:07
  I
• 6:07
  think
• 6:08
  we
• 6:08
  know
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  as
• 6:08
  adults,
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  hard
• 6:09
  stuff
• 6:09
  tends
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  be
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  stuff
• 6:10
  that's
• 6:10
  good
• 6:10
  for
• 6:10
  us.
• 6:11
  The
• 6:11
  hard
• 6:11
  stuff
• 6:11
  tends
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  be
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  things
• 6:12
  that
• 6:12
  are
• 6:12
  going
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  make
• 6:13
  us
• 6:13
  grow
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  make
• 6:13
  us
• 6:13
  learn.
• 6:14
  But
• 6:14
  it's
• 6:14
  so
• 6:15
  easy
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  just
• 6:16
  let
• 6:16
  go
• 6:16
  of
• 6:16
  that.
• 6:17
  And
• 6:17
  just
• 6:17
  say,
• 6:17
  I'm
• 6:17
  just
• 6:18
  going
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  do
• 6:18
  what's
• 6:18
  easy
• 6:18
  because
• 6:19
  I'm
• 6:20
  tired.
• 6:21
  I'm
• 6:21
  old.
• 6:22
  My
• 6:22
  kids
• 6:22
  yelled
• 6:23
  at
• 6:23
  me
• 6:23
  this
• 6:23
  week,
• 6:23
  whatever,
• 6:23
  whatever
• 6:24
  our
• 6:24
  excuses
• 6:24
  are.
• 6:24
  Right.
• 6:25
  So.
• 6:26
  What
• 6:26
  does
• 6:26
  this
• 6:26
  have
• 6:26
  to
• 6:27
  do
• 6:27
  with
• 6:27
  business?
• 6:27
  Why
• 6:27
  does
• 6:28
  this
• 6:28
  power
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  choose
• 6:28
  so
• 6:29
  important
• 6:30
  in
• 6:30
  regards
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  our
• 6:30
  business?
• 6:31
  Well,
• 6:31
  it
• 6:31
  has
• 6:32
  everything
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  do
• 6:33
  because
• 6:33
  as
• 6:33
  a
• 6:33
  business
• 6:34
  owner,
• 6:34
  your
• 6:34
  choices
• 6:35
  run
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  whole
• 6:36
  show.
• 6:38
  It's
• 6:38
  terrifying
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  think
• 6:40
  it's
• 6:40
  also
• 6:40
  very
• 6:40
  empowering,
• 6:41
  but
• 6:41
  also
• 6:41
  very
• 6:42
  terrifying.
• 6:42
  There
• 6:43
  is
• 6:43
  no
• 6:43
  boss
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  ask.
• 6:44
  There
• 6:44
  is
• 6:45
  no
• 6:45
  CEO
• 6:45
  to
• 6:46
  check
• 6:46
  in
• 6:46
  with.
• 6:46
  There
• 6:47
  is
• 6:47
  usually
• 6:47
  no
• 6:48
  partner
• 6:48
  to,
• 6:49
  to.
• 6:49
  your
• 6:49
  ideas
• 6:50
  by
• 6:50
  your
• 6:51
  choices
• 6:51
  run
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  entire
• 6:53
  thing.
• 6:53
  And
• 6:53
  that
• 6:54
  can
• 6:54
  be
• 6:54
  paralyzing.
• 6:56
  Especially
• 6:56
  when
• 6:56
  we
• 6:56
  realized
• 6:57
  that.
• 6:58
  is
• 6:58
  no
• 6:58
  right
• 6:58
  and
• 6:59
  wrong
• 6:59
  choices
• 6:59
  to
• 7:00
  most
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  things
• 7:00
  we
• 7:00
  do
• 7:00
  in
• 7:01
  business.
• 7:01
  When
• 7:01
  it
• 7:01
  comes
• 7:01
  to
• 7:02
  moral
• 7:02
  issues,
• 7:02
  there's
• 7:03
  always
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  right
• 7:03
  and
• 7:03
  wrong.
• 7:04
  Fidelity
• 7:04
  chastity
• 7:05
  honesty
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  integrity,
• 7:07
  kindness,
• 7:08
  charity.
• 7:08
  We
• 7:09
  know
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  right
• 7:09
  thing
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  do.
• 7:10
  It's
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  be
• 7:11
  faithful
• 7:11
  to
• 7:12
  our
• 7:12
  spouse
• 7:12
  is
• 7:12
  to
• 7:13
  be
• 7:13
  kind
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  person
• 7:14
  who's
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  little
• 7:14
  bit
• 7:15
  socially
• 7:15
  awkward.
• 7:15
  Right?
• 7:15
  We
• 7:16
  know
• 7:16
  those
• 7:16
  things.
• 7:17
  But
• 7:18
  outside
• 7:18
  of
• 7:18
  moral
• 7:18
  issues.
• 7:19
  I
• 7:19
  would
• 7:20
  say
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  solid,
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  don't
• 7:21
  know,
• 7:21
  80%
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  every
• 7:23
  other
• 7:23
  choice
• 7:23
  we
• 7:23
  make
• 7:23
  in
• 7:24
  life.
• 7:24
  There's
• 7:24
  not
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  right
• 7:25
  way.
• 7:26
  There's
• 7:26
  not
• 7:27
  a
• 7:27
  right
• 7:27
  way
• 7:27
  for
• 7:27
  me
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  load
• 7:28
  my
• 7:28
  laundry.
• 7:29
  Well,
• 7:29
  I
• 7:30
  might
• 7:30
  say
• 7:30
  there
• 7:30
  is,
• 7:30
  and
• 7:31
  my
• 7:31
  kids
• 7:31
  do
• 7:31
  it
• 7:31
  wrong,
• 7:31
  but
• 7:32
  that's
• 7:32
  beside
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  point.
• 7:33
  There's
• 7:33
  not
• 7:33
  a
• 7:33
  right
• 7:34
  way
• 7:34
  to
• 7:34
  run
• 7:35
  your
• 7:35
  Facebook
• 7:35
  ads.
• 7:36
  There's
• 7:36
  not
• 7:36
  a
• 7:36
  right
• 7:36
  way.
• 7:37
  choose
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  niche
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  want
• 7:38
  to
• 7:38
  target.
• 7:39
  There's
• 7:39
  not
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  right
• 7:39
  way
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  run
• 7:40
  a
• 7:40
  webinar.
• 7:41
  There,
• 7:41
  there
• 7:41
  just
• 7:41
  isn't
• 7:42
  there's
• 7:42
  a
• 7:42
  thousand
• 7:42
  different
• 7:43
  ways
• 7:43
  and
• 7:44
  we
• 7:44
  still
• 7:44
  have
• 7:45
  to
• 7:45
  choose.
• 7:46
  And
• 7:46
  it
• 7:46
  becomes
• 7:46
  incredibly
• 7:47
  difficult
• 7:47
  when
• 7:47
  there
• 7:48
  is
• 7:48
  no
• 7:48
  right
• 7:48
  way,
• 7:49
  because.
• 7:50
  Well
• 7:50
  for
• 7:50
  crying
• 7:50
  out
• 7:50
  loud.
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  don't
• 7:51
  know
• 7:51
  what
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  want
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  choose.
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  just
• 7:52
  want
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  be
• 7:53
  successful.
• 7:54
  It's
• 7:54
  incredibly
• 7:55
  difficult
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  make
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  choice
• 7:56
  when,
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  know,
• 7:57
  But
• 7:57
  there
• 7:57
  are
• 7:57
  multiple
• 7:58
  quote
• 7:58
  unquote,
• 7:59
  right?
• 7:59
  Ways
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  do
• 8:00
  it,
• 8:00
  right.
• 8:00
  still
• 8:01
  have
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  make
• 8:01
  that
• 8:01
  choice
• 8:02
  now
• 8:02
  in
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  grand
• 8:02
  scheme
• 8:02
  of
• 8:02
  things.
• 8:03
  More
• 8:04
  choices
• 8:04
  really
• 8:04
  are
• 8:04
  quite
• 8:04
  simple.
• 8:05
  If
• 8:05
  you
• 8:06
  know
• 8:06
  what
• 8:06
  God's
• 8:06
  commandments
• 8:06
  are,
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  know,
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  want
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  follow
• 8:08
  him,
• 8:08
  then
• 8:08
  it's
• 8:08
  fairly
• 8:08
  Chimp
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  choose
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  do.
• 8:10
  So
• 8:10
  I'm
• 8:10
  not
• 8:10
  going
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  say
• 8:11
  it's
• 8:11
  easy.
• 8:11
  Of
• 8:12
  course
• 8:12
  it's
• 8:12
  not
• 8:12
  easy.
• 8:13
  This
• 8:13
  life
• 8:13
  is
• 8:13
  hard.
• 8:14
  It's
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  test.
• 8:15
  But
• 8:15
  it
• 8:15
  is
• 8:16
  simple
• 8:16
  to
• 8:16
  make
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  choice
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  then
• 8:17
  to
• 8:18
  work
• 8:18
  towards
• 8:18
  that.
• 8:19
  But
• 8:19
  choosing
• 8:19
  your
• 8:20
  business
• 8:20
  niche.
• 8:21
  Or
• 8:21
  choosing
• 8:22
  a
• 8:22
  yearly
• 8:22
  goal
• 8:23
  for
• 8:23
  yourself.
• 8:24
  Or
• 8:24
  choosing
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  put
• 8:25
  yourself
• 8:25
  out
• 8:25
  there
• 8:25
  on
• 8:25
  social
• 8:26
  media
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  make
• 8:26
  a
• 8:26
  real,
• 8:27
  that
• 8:27
  makes
• 8:27
  you
• 8:27
  feel
• 8:27
  uncomfortable.
• 8:28
  That
• 8:28
  stuff
• 8:28
  is
• 8:29
  hard
• 8:29
  because
• 8:30
  most
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  time,
• 8:31
  that
• 8:31
  choice
• 8:32
  is
• 8:32
  not
• 8:32
  right
• 8:32
  or
• 8:33
  wrong.
• 8:33
  It
• 8:34
  all
• 8:34
  depends
• 8:34
  on
• 8:34
  where
• 8:34
  you
• 8:34
  want
• 8:35
  to
• 8:35
  go.
• 8:35
  Like
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  Cheshire
• 8:35
  cat
• 8:36
  says,
• 8:36
  right?
• 8:36
  the
• 8:36
  right
• 8:36
  direction.
• 8:37
  Well,
• 8:37
  depends
• 8:37
  on
• 8:37
  where
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  want
• 8:38
  to
• 8:38
  end
• 8:38
  up.
• 8:38
  So
• 8:39
  first
• 8:39
  we
• 8:39
  have
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  make
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  few
• 8:40
  decisions
• 8:41
  about
• 8:41
  where
• 8:41
  we
• 8:41
  want
• 8:41
  our
• 8:41
  business
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  end
• 8:42
  up.
• 8:43
  Roughly,
• 8:43
  because
• 8:44
  we
• 8:44
  don't
• 8:44
  know
• 8:44
  how
• 8:44
  it's
• 8:44
  going
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  pan
• 8:45
  out
• 8:45
  and
• 8:45
  then
• 8:45
  make
• 8:46
  choices
• 8:46
  in
• 8:46
  that
• 8:46
  general
• 8:47
  direction.
• 8:48
  This
• 8:48
  is
• 8:48
  why
• 8:48
  it's
• 8:48
  so
• 8:48
  important
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  understand
• 8:49
  this
• 8:49
  concept
• 8:50
  within
• 8:50
  your
• 8:50
  business.
• 8:51
  If
• 8:51
  your
• 8:51
  future
• 8:52
  self
• 8:52
  showed
• 8:52
  up
• 8:53
  today
• 8:53
  and
• 8:53
  said,
• 8:54
  Hey,
• 8:54
  guess
• 8:54
  what,
• 8:54
  honey?
• 8:55
  There
• 8:55
  is
• 8:55
  no
• 8:55
  right
• 8:56
  path.
• 8:56
  Actually.
• 8:56
  I
• 8:56
  don't
• 8:56
  think
• 8:57
  my
• 8:57
  future
• 8:57
  self
• 8:57
  would
• 8:57
  call
• 8:57
  me
• 8:57
  honey.
• 8:58
  That's
• 8:58
  really
• 8:58
  condescending.
• 8:59
  She
• 8:59
  would
• 8:59
  say
• 8:59
  girlfriend.
• 9:01
  There
• 9:02
  is
• 9:02
  no
• 9:02
  right
• 9:03
  path
• 9:03
  for
• 9:03
  you.
• 9:04
  There
• 9:04
  is
• 9:04
  no
• 9:05
  correct
• 9:05
  market
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  corner.
• 9:07
  There
• 9:07
  is
• 9:07
  no
• 9:08
  perfect
• 9:08
  Instagram
• 9:09
  post.
• 9:09
  There
• 9:09
  is
• 9:10
  no
• 9:10
  ideal.
• 9:11
  Coaching
• 9:11
  package.
• 9:12
  But
• 9:13
  there
• 9:13
  is
• 9:14
  a
• 9:14
  choice
• 9:14
  that
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  have
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  make
• 9:15
  for
• 9:15
  all
• 9:15
  of
• 9:15
  these,
• 9:16
  and
• 9:16
  you
• 9:16
  cannot
• 9:16
  stall
• 9:17
  forever.
• 9:18
  You
• 9:18
  have
• 9:18
  to
• 9:19
  choose,
• 9:20
  and
• 9:20
  it
• 9:20
  can
• 9:20
  be
• 9:20
  paralyzing.
• 9:21
  We
• 9:21
  overthink
• 9:21
  all
• 9:22
  these
• 9:22
  decisions.
• 9:22
  What,
• 9:23
  what
• 9:23
  should
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  do?
• 9:23
  Let
• 9:23
  me
• 9:23
  ask
• 9:24
  this
• 9:24
  expert.
• 9:24
  Let
• 9:24
  me
• 9:24
  see
• 9:25
  what
• 9:25
  she's
• 9:25
  doing.
• 9:25
  Let
• 9:25
  me
• 9:25
  ask
• 9:26
  my
• 9:26
  husband.
• 9:26
  Let
• 9:26
  me
• 9:26
  ask
• 9:27
  my
• 9:27
  neighbor.
• 9:27
  Let
• 9:27
  me
• 9:27
  ask
• 9:27
  this
• 9:27
  entrepreneur.
• 9:28
  Let
• 9:28
  me
• 9:28
  just
• 9:29
  watch
• 9:29
  everybody.
• 9:29
  Let
• 9:29
  me
• 9:29
  just
• 9:30
  do
• 9:30
  more
• 9:30
  research.
• 9:31
  And
• 9:31
  that
• 9:31
  gets
• 9:32
  us
• 9:32
  nowhere,
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  watching
• 9:33
  and
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  waiting
• 9:33
  and
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  waiting
• 9:34
  for
• 9:34
  somebody.
• 9:34
  Uh,
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  tell
• 9:35
  us
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  right
• 9:36
  way
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  do
• 9:36
  it.
• 9:36
  Is
• 9:37
  the
• 9:37
  slowest
• 9:38
  path
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  success.
• 9:39
  It
• 9:39
  will
• 9:39
  never
• 9:39
  pan
• 9:40
  out
• 9:40
  that
• 9:40
  way.
• 9:40
  We
• 9:40
  have
• 9:40
  to
• 9:40
  just
• 9:41
  make
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  choice.
• 9:42
  In
• 9:42
  business,
• 9:42
  it's
• 9:42
  really
• 9:43
  easy
• 9:43
  to
• 9:43
  put
• 9:43
  these
• 9:44
  choices
• 9:44
  off.
• 9:45
  Sometimes
• 9:45
  we'll
• 9:45
  show
• 9:45
  up
• 9:46
  in
• 9:46
  our
• 9:46
  business.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:47
  when
• 9:47
  we
• 9:47
  don't
• 9:47
  have
• 9:47
  a
• 9:47
  boss,
• 9:47
  we
• 9:47
  just
• 9:48
  kind
• 9:48
  of
• 9:48
  pretend
• 9:48
  to
• 9:48
  work.
• 9:48
  We
• 9:49
  do
• 9:49
  a
• 9:49
  lot
• 9:49
  of
• 9:49
  busy
• 9:49
  stuff,
• 9:50
  uploading
• 9:50
  some
• 9:51
  podcasts
• 9:51
  or
• 9:52
  some
• 9:52
  social
• 9:52
  media
• 9:53
  posts.
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  lot
• 9:54
  of
• 9:54
  webinars
• 9:54
  and
• 9:55
  trainings.
• 9:55
  We'll
• 9:55
  read
• 9:55
  a
• 9:55
  lot
• 9:55
  of
• 9:55
  books.
• 9:56
  We'll
• 9:56
  chat
• 9:57
  with
• 9:57
  other
• 9:57
  entrepreneurs,
• 9:57
  maybe
• 9:58
  join
• 9:58
  a
• 9:58
  mastermind,
• 9:59
  but
• 9:59
  if
• 9:59
  we're
• 10:00
  never
• 10:00
  making
• 10:00
  the
• 10:00
  hard
• 10:01
  decisions
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  then
• 10:02
  taking
• 10:02
  action
• 10:02
  on
• 10:03
  those
• 10:03
  decisions.
• 10:04
  In
• 10:04
  five
• 10:04
  years,
• 10:05
  your
• 10:05
  business
• 10:05
  will
• 10:05
  be
• 10:05
  exactly
• 10:06
  where
• 10:06
  it
• 10:06
  is
• 10:07
  today.
• 10:08
  Because
• 10:08
  you'll
• 10:08
  just
• 10:08
  have
• 10:09
  done
• 10:09
  all
• 10:09
  this
• 10:09
  busy
• 10:09
  work
• 10:10
  that
• 10:10
  never
• 10:10
  actually
• 10:10
  made
• 10:11
  a
• 10:11
  choice
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  point
• 10:12
  you
• 10:12
  in
• 10:12
  one
• 10:12
  direction
• 10:13
  or
• 10:13
  another.
• 10:14
  So,
• 10:14
  if
• 10:14
  this
• 10:15
  feels
• 10:15
  familiar
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  you
• 10:16
  and
• 10:16
  you're
• 10:16
  like,
• 10:16
  yes,

  help

  me,
• 10:17
  help
• 10:17
  me
• 10:17
  make
• 10:17
  a
• 10:17
  choice.
• 10:18
  There's
• 10:18
  three
• 10:19
  simple
• 10:19
  steps.
• 10:19
  Are
• 10:19
  you
• 10:19
  ready
• 10:19
  for
• 10:20
  them?
• 10:21
  Number
• 10:21
  one.
• 10:22
  Except
• 10:22
  that
• 10:23
  there
• 10:23
  is
• 10:23
  no
• 10:23
  right
• 10:24
  way
• 10:24
  to
• 10:24
  build
• 10:24
  your
• 10:25
  business.
• 10:25
  There
• 10:26
  is
• 10:26
  no
• 10:26
  right
• 10:26
  way.
• 10:27
  Let
• 10:27
  me
• 10:27
  say
• 10:27
  it
• 10:27
  again.
• 10:27
  There
• 10:28
  is
• 10:28
  no
• 10:28
  right
• 10:29
  way
• 10:29
  to
• 10:29
  build
• 10:30
  your
• 10:30
  business.
• 10:30
  If
• 10:30
  you
• 10:30
  don't
• 10:31
  believe
• 10:31
  me.
• 10:32
  Just
• 10:33
  hit.
• 10:33
  rewind
• 10:33
  on
• 10:33
  this
• 10:33
  podcast
• 10:34
  and
• 10:34
  keep
• 10:34
  listening
• 10:34
  until
• 10:34
  you
• 10:35
  believe
• 10:35
  me.
• 10:35
  There's
• 10:35
  no
• 10:35
  right
• 10:36
  way.
• 10:36
  Number
• 10:37
  two.
• 10:38
  Choose
• 10:38
  the
• 10:38
  next
• 10:39
  step
• 10:40
  to
• 10:40
  the
• 10:40
  best
• 10:40
  of
• 10:40
  your
• 10:40
  knowledge,
• 10:41
  the
• 10:41
  one
• 10:41
  you
• 10:41
  want
• 10:41
  to
• 10:42
  do,
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  one
• 10:42
  that
• 10:42
  sounds
• 10:42
  like
• 10:43
  fun.
• 10:43
  The
• 10:43
  one
• 10:44
  that
• 10:45
  is
• 10:45
  exciting.
• 10:45
  The,
• 10:45
  when
• 10:45
  you're
• 10:45
  looking
• 10:46
  forward
• 10:46
  to.
• 10:47
  And
• 10:47
  then
• 10:47
  number
• 10:47
  three,
• 10:48
  take
• 10:48
  action
• 10:49
  on
• 10:49
  that
• 10:49
  step.
• 10:50
  So,
• 10:50
  except
• 10:51
  there's
• 10:51
  no
• 10:51
  right
• 10:51
  way.
• 10:52
  Choose
• 10:52
  your
• 10:52
  next
• 10:52
  step.
• 10:53
  And
• 10:53
  then
• 10:53
  take
• 10:54
  action.
• 10:55
  Your
• 10:55
  brain.
• 10:56
  I
• 10:56
  guarantee
• 10:57
  is

  rebel
• 10:58
  at
• 10:58
  step
• 10:58
  number
• 10:58
  one.
• 10:58
  That's
• 10:58
  why
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  repeated
• 10:59
  it
• 10:59
  three
• 10:59
  times.
• 11:00
  It
• 11:00
  wants
• 11:01
  to
• 11:01
  know
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  best
• 11:02
  way,
• 11:03
  even
• 11:03
  if
• 11:03
  there's
• 11:03
  no
• 11:03
  right
• 11:03
  one.
• 11:03
  Okay.
• 11:04
  Okay.
• 11:04
  You
• 11:04
  say.
• 11:05
  There
• 11:05
  is
• 11:05
  no
• 11:05
  right
• 11:06
  way
• 11:06
  fine,
• 11:06
  but
• 11:07
  what's
• 11:07
  the
• 11:07
  best
• 11:07
  way.
• 11:08
  What's
• 11:08
  the
• 11:08
  way
• 11:08
  that
• 11:08
  this
• 11:09
  expert
• 11:09
  did
• 11:09
  it.
• 11:09
  What's
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  way
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  millionaire
• 11:10
  did
• 11:10
  it.
• 11:11
  What's
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  way
• 11:11
  that
• 11:11
  this
• 11:11
  person
• 11:11
  did
• 11:12
  it.
• 11:13
  I'll
• 11:13
  tell
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  what,
• 11:13
  if
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  interviewed
• 11:14
  20
• 11:14
  millionaire,
• 11:15
  successful
• 11:16
  entrepreneurs,
• 11:16
  about
• 11:17
  an
• 11:17
  ask
• 11:17
  them
• 11:17
  how
• 11:17
  they
• 11:17
  succeeded.
• 11:18
  You
• 11:19
  will
• 11:19
  learn
• 11:19
  20
• 11:20
  different
• 11:20
  ways
• 11:21
  to
• 11:21
  build
• 11:21
  a
• 11:21
  successful
• 11:21
  seven
• 11:22
  figure
• 11:22
  business.
• 11:23
  Literally
• 11:24
  20
• 11:24
  different
• 11:24
  ways
• 11:24
  because
• 11:25
  no
• 11:25
  one's
• 11:25
  path
• 11:25
  is
• 11:26
  the
• 11:26
  same.
• 11:27
  Now
• 11:27
  that
• 11:27
  doesn't
• 11:27
  mean
• 11:27
  there
• 11:27
  aren't
• 11:28
  some
• 11:28
  really.
• 11:29
  strategies
• 11:29
  to
• 11:29
  learn.
• 11:30
  That's
• 11:30
  a
• 11:30
  lot
• 11:30
  of
• 11:30
  what
• 11:30
  we
• 11:31
  talk
• 11:31
  about
• 11:31
  on
• 11:31
  this
• 11:31
  podcast,
• 11:31
  right?
• 11:32
  to
• 11:32
  find
• 11:32
  a
• 11:32
  cold
• 11:32
  lead,
• 11:33
  how
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  nurture
• 11:33
  this
• 11:34
  lead,
• 11:34
  how
• 11:34
  to,
• 11:34
  how
• 11:34
  to
• 11:35
  close
• 11:35
  a
• 11:35
  sale.
• 11:35
  Yes,
• 11:35
  there's
• 11:36
  great
• 11:36
  strategies
• 11:36
  and
• 11:36
  tools
• 11:37
  you
• 11:37
  can
• 11:37
  learn.
• 11:38
  But
• 11:38
  no
• 11:38
  one
• 11:39
  knows
• 11:39
  your
• 11:40
  business's
• 11:40
  blueprint
• 11:41
  for
• 11:41
  success.
• 11:42
  Why.
• 11:43
  Because
• 11:43
  it
• 11:44
  hasn't
• 11:44
  been
• 11:45
  built
• 11:45
  yet.
• 11:46
  There
• 11:46
  is
• 11:46
  no
• 11:46
  blueprint
• 11:47
  for
• 11:47
  your
• 11:47
  business
• 11:47
  because
• 11:47
  your
• 11:48
  business
• 11:48
  isn't
• 11:48
  successful
• 11:49
  yet,
• 11:49
  or
• 11:49
  maybe
• 11:50
  it
• 11:50
  is,
• 11:50
  but
• 11:50
  it's
• 11:50
  not
• 11:50
  quite
• 11:51
  to
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  place
• 11:51
  where
• 11:51
  you
• 11:51
  want
• 11:51
  it
• 11:51
  to
• 11:52
  be.
• 11:52
  You
• 11:52
  won't
• 11:53
  have
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  blueprints
• 11:54
  until
• 11:54
  it's
• 11:54
  done.
• 11:54
  I
• 11:55
  know
• 11:55
  that's
• 11:56
  maddening.
• 11:56
  It
• 11:57
  makes
• 11:57
  me
• 11:57
  want
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  tear
• 11:57
  my
• 11:58
  hair
• 11:58
  out.
• 11:58
  Sometimes
• 11:58
  I
• 11:58
  just
• 11:58
  want
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  plan
• 11:59
  and
• 12:00
  I
• 12:00
  want
• 12:00
  to
• 12:00
  follow
• 12:00
  that
• 12:00
  plan.
• 12:01
  But
• 12:02
  guess
• 12:02
  what?
• 12:02
  The
• 12:03
  good
• 12:03
  news
• 12:03
  is
• 12:03
  you
• 12:03
  don't
• 12:04
  need
• 12:04
  them.
• 12:05
  It's
• 12:05
  all
• 12:06
  in
• 12:06
  your
• 12:06
  brain
• 12:07
  and
• 12:07
  it
• 12:07
  will
• 12:07
  come
• 12:07
  to
• 12:07
  you
• 12:07
  throughout
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  experience
• 12:09
  that
• 12:09
  you
• 12:09
  put
• 12:09
  into
• 12:10
  your
• 12:10
  business.
• 12:10
  Right
• 12:11
  now,
• 12:11
  let's
• 12:11
  say,
• 12:11
  for
• 12:11
  example,
• 12:12
  you
• 12:12
  don't
• 12:12
  have
• 12:12
  any
• 12:12
  blueprint
• 12:13
  for
• 12:13
  how
• 12:13
  to
• 12:13
  get
• 12:14
  your
• 12:14
  next
• 12:14
  client.
• 12:15
  Well,
• 12:15
  you're
• 12:15
  going
• 12:15
  to
• 12:16
  try
• 12:16
  a
• 12:16
  bunch
• 12:16
  of
• 12:16
  things.
• 12:16
  You're
• 12:16
  going
• 12:17
  to
• 12:17
  try
• 12:17
  to
• 12:17
  get
• 12:17
  a
• 12:17
  bunch
• 12:17
  of
• 12:17
  leads,
• 12:18
  a
• 12:18
  different
• 12:18
  way.
• 12:18
  You're
• 12:18
  going
• 12:18
  to
• 12:19
  try
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  nurture
• 12:19
  them
• 12:19
  a
• 12:19
  bunch
• 12:19
  of
• 12:19
  different
• 12:20
  ways.
• 12:20
  You're
• 12:20
  gonna
• 12:20
  try
• 12:20
  to
• 12:20
  close
• 12:20
  some
• 12:21
  sales,
• 12:21
  a
• 12:21
  bunch
• 12:21
  of
• 12:21
  different
• 12:21
  ways.
• 12:22
  And
• 12:22
  when
• 12:22
  you
• 12:22
  get
• 12:22
  your
• 12:22
  next
• 12:23
  client,
• 12:23
  you'll
• 12:23
  go,
• 12:23
  oh,
• 12:24
  that
• 12:24
  was
• 12:24
  the
• 12:24
  path.
• 12:25
  And
• 12:25
  then
• 12:26
  guess
• 12:26
  what
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  client
• 12:26
  after
• 12:27
  that
• 12:27
  will
• 12:27
  be
• 12:27
  easier
• 12:28
  because
• 12:28
  you'll
• 12:28
  already
• 12:29
  know
• 12:29
  how
• 12:29
  it
• 12:29
  worked
• 12:29
  to
• 12:29
  get
• 12:30
  one
• 12:30
  client.
• 12:31
  And
• 12:31
  then
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  third
• 12:32
  and
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  fourth
• 12:32
  and
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  10th
• 12:33
  client
• 12:33
  will
• 12:33
  be
• 12:33
  even
• 12:34
  easier
• 12:34
  because
• 12:34
  you're
• 12:34
  going
• 12:35
  to
• 12:35
  start
• 12:35
  to
• 12:35
  create
• 12:35
  some
• 12:35
  pathways
• 12:36
  that
• 12:37
  seem
• 12:37
  to
• 12:37
  work
• 12:37
  for
• 12:37
  you.
• 12:38
  They
• 12:38
  work
• 12:38
  for
• 12:38
  your
• 12:38
  personality,
• 12:39
  they
• 12:39
  work
• 12:39
  for
• 12:39
  your,
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  hours
• 12:41
  you're
• 12:41
  willing
• 12:41
  to
• 12:41
  put
• 12:41
  into
• 12:41
  your
• 12:41
  business.
• 12:42
  They
• 12:42
  And
• 12:42
  you'll
• 12:42
  experience
• 12:43
