  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, today we're talking about figuring out who are 10 people
• 0:35
  that inspire you. And I'm not talking about
• 0:37
  keeping just a standard list of the big names.
• 0:42
  Of course, we all can sit there and say that we are inspired by
• 0:45
  great leaders of the past and we all have our favorites and you
• 0:49
  know Mother Teresa being one of mine dr.
• 0:52
  Wayne Dyer being one of mine, dr.
• 0:56
  Joseph Murphy. Another one Neville.
• 0:58
  Goddard all people who have inspired Hired me and shifted my
• 1:01
  life and changed my life in ways.
• 1:04
  I can't even begin to say I'm talking about looking for the
• 1:09
  people that inspire you that are around you that are in contact
• 1:14
  with you. The ones that you maybe, grew up
• 1:17
  with the ones that you can think about.
• 1:19
  And use this inspiration in a little bit of a different way.
• 1:23
  So I'll tell you, my father is someone who really, really
• 1:28
  inspired me. He was hard on On me in the
• 1:31
  sense of he had high expectations and he always
• 1:33
  taught me that you can always do more, you can always do better.
• 1:38
  You can always think. Now, I have been told by many
• 1:41
  people over the years and this business that I'm in that, you
• 1:44
  know, that was wrong. He should have his celebrated,
• 1:47
  your successes, and he did, celebrate my successes.
• 1:49
  There's no question about it. He did celebrate my successes,
• 1:53
  but when he wanted me to know that there was a different level
• 1:58
  to go to, and I'm grateful to him, That I am very grateful to
• 2:02
  him for that because he never just sat on his Laurels and
• 2:06
  didn't think about what he could do right up until the time he
• 2:08
  passed away. And it was oh, so early, he was
• 2:10
  57 years old when he died. And it's just, it's still shocks
• 2:15
  me that he was so young when he died.
• 2:17
  And he would say things to me that were just, you know,
• 2:21
  inspirational in the sense of you've got to remember, you
• 2:27
  always get to decide how you show up.
• 2:30
  Up, you got to decide the things you want to focus on.
• 2:33
  You can always better yourself, you can always learn more as
• 2:36
  long as you're alive and your brain is working and your heart
• 2:40
  is pumping. You can always learn more and
• 2:42
  that that sense of learning that he gave to me was an absolute
• 2:48
  inspiration and and he's one that I keep on my list all the
• 2:52
  time and think about all the time.
• 2:54
  And the reason why I wanted to bring this up is because when
• 2:56
  you look for people around you that inspire you, when you look
• 2:59
  for the things that are But in your world around you and you
• 3:04
  say okay I'm going to use this as an inspiration to myself
• 3:07
  where I'm going to use this as a this person as inspiration to
• 3:10
  myself, you can actually cause you know them, I can sit there
• 3:14
  and I can say, wow, I wonder if this person whether they're here
• 3:17
  or not anymore cause my father's not gone so I have to use as a,
• 3:21
  okay? So I wonder what he would think
• 3:24
  right. Now now I actually have a very
• 3:27
  interesting concept with this because I feel like I'm always
• 3:29
  tapped into my dad. Add.
• 3:31
  So I always pay attention to it, and I always kind of go to this
• 3:34
  place where I have conversations with him.
• 3:36
  And I know how proud he is of me.
• 3:39
  And even as a grown woman, do I want my father to be proud of
• 3:42
  me? Yes.
• 3:44
  And if you're listening, and that's not your thing and you
• 3:46
  like, I don't need anybody to be proud of me.
• 3:49
  Have at it for yourself, that's perfect.
• 3:51
  But for me, I still want to know that.
• 3:53
  My dad's proud of me, I want to show up and sometimes that stops
• 3:56
  me from doing things that I shouldn't do, and it stops me
• 3:59
  from being stupid and it, Really pushes me for instance, if I'm
• 4:04
  working on something in business.
• 4:06
  And I'm trying to decide on something, I will think to
• 4:08
  myself, okay? All right, Dad, let's have a
• 4:12
  conversation about this. Would you do this?
• 4:14
  Would you do this? And I - Lee, I always get an
• 4:17
  answer and the answer feels so solid.
• 4:20
  So I stick with it and it feels great.
• 4:22
  And I will tell you just having that little coverage knowing
• 4:26
  that from the other side, I am tapped into him.
• 4:30
  I Feel like I have a whole Vortex of energy that comes to
• 4:34
  me that is undeniable and rarely wrong.
• 4:41
  I've made some very very interesting choices that have
• 4:45
  really paid off and they have paid off because I made them and
• 4:52
  I felt solid about them and in the final analysis they were
• 4:57
  always the right choices and some people question In them.
• 5:01
  But you know what, it always works out and I think when you
• 5:05
  have your, you know, your list of people that inspire you, so I
• 5:08
  like to keep a rotating list of 10 people that inspire me.
• 5:11
  And if there's something I see if I see even a little video,
• 5:15
  I'm like, okay, that inspires me, I'll watch it.
• 5:17
  I'll pour into it. So it's like and you can do is
• 5:20
  like I tend to change the list about every two months or so,
• 5:24
  but I will take something from those people.
• 5:27
  I'm surrounded by books all the time, I'll pull the books out.
• 5:30
  I say, okay, this is my book for, you know, this amount of
• 5:33
  time I'm going to read this. And right now I'm in the midst
• 5:37
  of a Wayne Dyer thing where if you've never listened to Wayne
• 5:39
  Dyer or read any of those books, do yourself a favor, I'll pull
• 5:42
  them out, listen to them, read them, devour them because they
• 5:47
  are incredible. And he was I had the privilege
• 5:51
  of meeting with him and working with him.
• 5:53
  And I will tell you just an amazing, amazing Soul, tons of
• 5:58
  books. I think he has over 40 or 50
• 6:00
  books so Take your pick, but the point is, make a list of 10
• 6:05
  people who inspire you. If you're lucky enough to have
• 6:08
  them boots on the ground with you still debrief them, ask
• 6:12
  them, you know, say what are the things that make you do?
• 6:16
  What you do every day you inspire me?
• 6:18
  Do you know what? It feels makes a person feel
• 6:21
  like when you go to them and actually take them to coffee and
• 6:23
  say you inspire me, teach me how you do this.
• 6:27
  It lifts their souls so much so give them that gift as Such, as
• 6:31
  you give yourself the gift and go out and seek out your 10 and
• 6:36
  really figure out mean, can you have some that are passed away?
• 6:39
  Yes, can you have some that are present?
• 6:41
  Yes. Can you have some?
• 6:42
  You've never met? Yes.
• 6:43
  It can be a mix, but get your 10 and work with it.
• 6:46
  All right, my friends. I hope you have a blessed day
• 6:48
  and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
• 6:30
  Such, as you give yourself the gift and go out and seek out
• 6:34
  your 10 and really figure out mean, can you have some that are
• 6:39
  passed away? Yes, can you have some that are
• 6:40
