  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So today we were are talking about how lip service gets in
• 0:34
  our way, the act of lip service. So let me explain for those of
• 0:38
  you who may have not heard of that term before.
• 0:41
  The act of lip service is when you are saying the right words,
• 0:44
  but you have absolutely no intent or the slightest belief
• 0:47
  that anything that you are saying is going to matter, make
• 0:50
  a difference. You don't believe in the prayer,
• 0:52
  you don't believe in the thought, you don't believe in
• 0:54
  the action of it. You're just going through the
• 0:55
  motions to get it out and make it end.
• 0:59
  And this process, I believe in our society has become a very,
• 1:04
  very predominant force, let's say of, of action and how it
• 1:11
  just effects so much because people are constantly saying one
• 1:16
  thing and doing another. And when you actually find
• 1:18
  someone that lives up to their word, as I like to say, it's a
• 1:22
  rarity. And you need to keep those
• 1:24
  people and you need to cherish them because those people are
• 1:28
  special. They are definitely special.
• 1:30
  And I don't even, I don't, I don't even really think that a
• 1:34
  lot of people realize how lip service is affecting everybody
• 1:39
  around them. To me, I think it's something
• 1:43
  that we've become so habitually conditioned to that we ourselves
• 1:47
  do it. We say one thing and we do
• 1:49
  another. And you've heard me talk before
• 1:52
  about how don't lie to yourself. It falls in that category again,
• 1:56
  when you say something, do you really mean it?
• 1:58
  Are you, are you working on it? Sure what maybe you'll fail, but
• 2:02
  you're still intending on working on it.
• 2:04
  And it's the intent behind the scenes that matters.
• 2:06
  So this idea of lip service this, this idea of, of being
• 2:12
  able to believe in it. One of the places where I, I
• 2:15
  really want to focus on this particular subject is what you
• 2:20
  believe behind the scenes about how you're going to handle
• 2:23
  yourself and what you're going to do moving forward with it.
• 2:27
  So if we if we intend to do something, and often this shows
• 2:31
  up in our business world where we're like, OK, we're going to
• 2:35
  do this, we're going to make this happen.
• 2:37
  This is the month we're getting the marketing done.
• 2:39
  And there's no question about it, this is what I'm doing.
• 2:43
  And it sounds great. You might even make a list,
• 2:47
  might even be on your clipboard and you've got a list and you're
• 2:50
  like, OK, I'm ready. I got this all done.
• 2:53
  I've got it in my notes and my iPhone, I'm good.
• 2:55
  And then it falls by the wayside or it gets pushed to a different
• 2:59
  date or you say you're going to do something and it doesn't
• 3:03
  happen. And all of a sudden you come to
• 3:05
  the end of the month and you're looking at what has happened and
• 3:08
  transpired over the course of the month.
• 3:10
  And it's nothing that you thought it was going to be.
• 3:12
  There's absolutely not one thing that you thought it was going to
• 3:15
  be done. And you in that, at least in
• 3:18
  that arena that you gave lip service to and you said it to
• 3:21
  the team, you said, this is what we're going to get done.
• 3:24
  And all of a sudden it's not there.
• 3:25
  It's, it's blank and you're like, what happened?
• 3:28
  Where did the time go? What, where did it all go?
• 3:30
  How did I possibly miss out on this?
• 3:33
  Well, you missed out on it because you gave Idlib service,
• 3:35
  but you didn't give it the attention that it critically
• 3:38
  needed in order to get done. And that attention is the part
• 3:42
  that's so precious. It, it and it, and I truly mean
• 3:46
  that in that sense, you have to treat things like that, like
• 3:50
  they are important, they are precious and you are going to do
• 3:53
  it no matter what. So sometimes you have to change
• 3:57
  your approach. I recently have done this where
• 3:59
  I recognize that a big project that I want to get done is not
• 4:02
  getting done. And it's not getting done
• 4:04
  because I'm working with clients and I am guilty of working in my
• 4:09
  business and not on my business as congruently as I need to.
• 4:12
  So I had to do something, Hire an assistant.
• 4:15
  Excellent. She's getting it taken care of
• 4:18
  on lots of levels. Now besides that, oh, you know
• 4:21
  what, hire one of your clients that can go and do the website
• 4:24
  work that needs to be done. Excellent, let's get that taken
• 4:27
  care of. And we started that process
• 4:30
  because here's the truth, it I I cannot be everywhere for
• 4:34
  everyone all the time. And I need to change my
• 4:36
  approach. So that's what I'm doing.
• 4:38
  And when you recognize that you have limitations and you're real
• 4:42
  with yourself and you're not just giving lip service to a
• 4:44
  subject, you can truly do some greater good.
• 4:47
  And that's the intent. That is the complete intent with
• 4:51
  this. So where are you giving lip
• 4:53
  service in your life? What are the things you're
• 4:55
  talking about that you're not actually following through on?
• 4:58
  What are the things that you know that you absolutely have no
• 5:02
  choice, that you have to pay a little bit more attention to and
• 5:05
  stop just giving lip service to it?
• 5:07
  Whether it's your health, whether it's, you know, working
• 5:10
  out, whether it's learning, reading, getting help for
• 5:14
  yourself, figuring out a better way cleaning your house.
• 5:17
  I've had a lot of people recently talk about how they
• 5:20
  have so much clutter and they can't take it or they haven't
• 5:23
  put laundry away for forever. There's piles of laundry sitting
• 5:28
  all around and they haven't put it away and they're just living
• 5:30
  out of the pile of laundry. Or they go and they shop and
• 5:33
  they don't put the groceries away.
• 5:35
  They just basically leave them hanging around because it, you
• 5:39
  know, hell it, I'm just going to eat them anyway.
• 5:42
  Well, there's something to be said for creating that order
• 5:46
  that you'd crave. And if you are thinking about it
• 5:49
  and you're saying, I wish it was like this, oh, I wish I was
• 5:52
  organized. Oh, I wish I had this done in my
• 5:55
  case. I wish the website was, you
• 5:56
  know, doing things for me instead of just being a
• 5:59
  placeholder. Then we, we don't wish our lives
• 6:03
  away, my friends. We fix it.
• 6:04
  And the wish is the indication it has to get done.
• 6:07
  No more lip service. Getting help is the key.
• 6:11
  It's the key. So make your list, figure it
• 6:14
  out. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
• 6:16
  Hope you have a blessed day. Bye.
