I'm capable of more. Maybe a life that knock you

if you want to check out what I got going on, y'all.
1:59
Anyway, so look, let's get into it tonight, y'all.
2:01
So this is something that that is really plagued a lot of
2:09
people, right? Most people never reinvent
2:12
themselves. You know why?
2:13
Because they're familiar, they stay because they're
2:16
comfortable, they're afraid, they're surrounded by negative
2:20
people. They're addicted to routine,
2:23
right? You ever seen somebody that JJ,
2:26
no matter what, they do the same thing every day.
2:30
And whether it's on a job or wherever they are, if they're
2:34
not making enough money, since it's comfortable, since it's,
2:38
you know, the place where I think I can, I, I'm just
2:41
comfortable. I don't have to really, really
2:45
push myself to do more, right? This one, these are the people
2:49
I'm talking about. They're just addicted to
2:51
routine. And tonight we're going to try
2:54
to get into how we can help them reinvent their lives.
2:57
So now, according to the American Psychological
2:59
Association, fear of failure and fear of uncertainty are one of
3:05
the biggest barriers to a major life change.
3:11
Fear keeps a lot of people stuck in places.
3:16
Fear some would rather just live in the pain that they're in than
3:21
risk discomfort. They don't know.
3:25
So if it's painful and they're comfortable with being in this
3:29
place. So let's say we're not going to
3:31
use relationships because some people, you know, use
3:34
relationships and abusive relationships and we're not
3:36
going to use that right. That example we're going to use,
3:40
say, for example, if they're in a job and it's not making
3:44
they're not making enough money, they're whether to stay there
3:48
because they know they're going to get off at a certain time
3:50
every day. They know they're going to get
3:53
this paid this a certain amount every week.
3:57
All this stuff they know is this far from the house.
4:01
And instead of them stepping out into something to help them grow
4:05
and make them a little bit of discomfort, they can stay right
4:09
where they are, right? For example, take this out
4:13
Moses, 40 years as a Prince, 40 years living, 40 years hiding.
4:20
Then at 80, God reinvented his life.
4:24
Your age isn't your limitation, your mindset is.
4:29
If you put in your mind that you're going to do something,
4:34
you're going to do it if you have the will to live.
4:38
People have had cancer and and sicknesses, health issues that
4:44
actually would take most people out.
4:47
But they had the mindset that you know what, I'm going to make
4:51
it through this. Your age, no matter how old you
4:55
are, people got the mindset that they're going to do something.
4:58
They do it right. Have you ever stayed somewhere
5:01
too long? Have you ever stayed in a place
5:05
too long? A job, a church, whatever a
5:10
position? Have you ever stayed in a place
5:13
too long and why? Right.
5:15
OK, me when I was I, I give you an example of me, I stayed at a
5:20
company. It was a dump truck company.
5:22
I stayed there too long. I know that I knew that if it
5:28
rained, I wouldn't work. I knew if it was cold, I didn't
5:31
work. But I got comfortable with
5:33
staying at home, you know, Hey, I know on behalf of the day it's
5:37
cold and I got comfortable in that and I had to shift and
5:43
reinvent my life to do some other things, right.
5:47
So you cannot change what you refuse to examine.
5:52
Ask yourself, what am I good at? What drains me, what inspires
5:59
me, what discourages me? Where am I wasting time?
6:04
A lot of people waste time on a lot of things that they really
6:08
don't want to do because I get good at, let's just say, I think
6:20
you'd be good at cooking, but you don't like cooking, you
6:24
know, but but since somebody else told you to do it, you're
6:29
wasting time. You know what I mean?
6:31
What drains you? You know, you get up in the
6:34
morning and you just roll over in the bed and be like, Lord, I
6:39
do not want to go to this job. I do not want to go into this
6:44
building today. That means it's draining you and
6:49
you need to shift something around so God can do something
6:54
different in your life so you can look at different
6:56
opportunities. Opportunities, right?
6:59
Five areas to focus on. One is faith now faith could be
7:05
you know some people the Bible says, you know talks about
7:08
faith. You know now faith is the
7:11
substance of things hold for the evidence of things not seen
7:13
right, but some people's faith is like the church like what
7:18
denomination some I've heard of it.
7:20
You know, I believe by in faith. You know my my faith is in Jesus
7:27
Christ or whatever the case is. Sometimes I've heard that say it
7:30
that way, right? Health, relationships, finances,
7:36
purpose. Now let me go back to
7:38
relationships, because when I say relationships is not
7:42
necessarily meaning that, you know, you're like if you're
7:46
married or, or, or if you engaged or if you're dating,
7:50
relationships could mean business relationships.
7:53
You know what I mean? Like you're, you're you're in
7:56
relationships with certain business people and you got to
8:01
maintain that'll be an area to focus on.
8:04
You got to maintain that relationship.
8:05
You got to maintain your health, you got to maintain your
8:08
finances. You got to have a purpose and
8:11
know what your purpose is and maintain it.
8:15
Stay driven, stay purpose driven, stay purpose driven no
8:19
matter what, stay purpose driven, stay on your purpose,
8:22
right. So if you would had to rate
8:25
yourself from one to 10, where are you weak?
8:29
Is that in the ones I just listed?
8:33
Where are you weak at in faith one to 10.
8:37
Where would you rate yourself Health one to 10 because that's
8:39
important too, because without health, you might be in trouble.
8:43
You know what I'm saying? Your body might shut down on
8:46
you. You won't have to worry about
8:47
the relationship finance the purpose of nothing else, right?
8:50
So what do you rate yourself health wise, relationship wise
8:54
finances purpose one to 10. Where do you rate yourself?
9:00
You know, where are you weakest? Where are you the weakest at?
9:06
That's the starting point. Y'all, you got to, you got to
9:08
understand where you are. You focus on these five areas.
9:13
You got to figure out where you are.
9:15
It's just like this, right? It's like starting a race and
9:23
don't know what stop what? What's the starting point?
9:26
You don't know the starting point.
9:27
You definitely ain't going to know the ending point.
9:30
So you got to know where your starting point.
9:32
Where do you start from? Everybody know where they need
9:36
to start from. Some people you know their
9:37
finances are good but they health is bad.
9:42
Some of them their relationship is good but they money is bad.
9:46
Some on purpose is there, they ain't got no money, relationship
9:48
and health and none of that. So you got to know what your
9:52
starting point is, right? So this is one of the hardest
9:58
things to do, letting go of your old identity.
10:07
You got to let go of your old identity.
10:11
And one of the hardest things for people to do is stop
10:14
introducing themselves by your by their past.
10:20
I'm broke, I'm addicted. I failed.
10:24
That's not who you are. Let's be clear on this.
10:26
That's not who you are, right? That's something that you in
10:30
spirits in life and it doesn't define you.
10:35
Those are some things, again, you experience in life that and
10:41
it doesn't define who you are. Yeah, Well, cool.
10:44
Everybody failed. I failed.
10:46
You know, I I I failed before. Surprise.
10:49
I failed before. I've been broke before.
10:52
Surprised. Yeah, I've been, yeah.
10:55
Yeah, I was addicted to something before.
11:00
Yes. So the people listening, you are
11:04
not in this thing alone, right? You got to understand that this
11:10
is just something that you experienced in life.
11:13
Everybody going to experience something in life.
11:14
So these may be some of the things you experience.
11:17
You are not alone, right? So think about this from the
11:24
biblical perspective, right? You got to let go your old
11:28
identity so God could do something new, right?
11:31
Saul became Paul, Simon became Peter, Abraham became Abraham,
11:39
Jacob became Israel, and check this out.
11:42
Check this out. God often changed the name
11:45
before changing the future. So you got to, you got to like,
11:49
you got to be like, hey, I know I messed up as a fact, I know I
11:55
did. I, I, I know I messed up.
11:57
You know, it's, I know some things I did that was wrong that
12:00
I, that I messed up. I know I did.
12:04
But that does not define who I am.
12:06
I got to start changing the way that I look at myself.
12:11
And God changes. He changed their names before
12:16
changing what they were actually called to be.
12:19
So you got to start doing that. You got to change.
12:21
Stop calling yourself broke and addicted and poor and all these
12:26
things that we call ourselves. You're not that.
12:30
What labels have you accepted from people?
12:35
What labels have you allowed people to put on you crazy That
12:43
that that they, they crazy. They they crazy and you laugh at
12:51
it. How many labels have we allowed
12:54
people to put on us? You know what I'm saying?
12:57
Like, hey, you know, like, hey, too holy is one of them.
13:03
Hey, too holy for me. I can't they too holy, holy,
13:07
holy. I can't even be around them.
13:10
They just holy, holy and centrified.
13:13
I can't be around. They do holy and I ain't going
13:15
to lie that's I mean, being too holy is a good is a good labor
13:21
to have that mean you spending time with the Lord, right?
13:24
So that's a good labor to have. But I'm just saying, how many
13:26
bad labels have we allowed people to put on us that we
13:31
gladly accept and laugh it off. You know what I mean?
13:37
Now, before we go to break, we're going to jump into this
13:40
for for a few minutes, right? You got to change the circle.
13:46
You have to change the people that you around.
13:52
It's no question about it. Check this out.
13:56
Jim Rohan. I think I've said his name,
14:00
right, Ron. Jim.
14:01
Ron ROHN was an American entrepreneur, author, and
14:07
motivational speaker. This is what he said.
14:10
This is what he said. You are the average of the five
14:14
people you spend most time the most time with.
14:19
You think about that. You are the average of the five
14:23
people you spend most time your most time with.
14:29
If you spend time with broke people, 5 broke people, more
14:34
than likely you're going to be broke too.
14:38
If you sitting most of your time 5 people and they drink, more
14:45
than likely you're going to be a drinker too.
14:49
Yes, that's what he said and I believe it because I know that
14:54
if you're around somebody that if you're not a cursor, you know
14:57
used profanity and you around people for a long time, you can
15:00
adapt some of that. So we got to be careful about
15:03
who we around y'all, and I'm going to get right back and do
15:05
this after the break stats. Tell that each day 22 veterans
15:10
commit suicide due to PTSD. These stats shook us and urged
15:15
us to do our part. After hours and hours of
15:18
thinking, beekeeping for veterans was born.
15:22
Beekeeping for veterans combines beekeeping with mindfulness
15:25
meditation. Why combine them?
15:28
Here's why. Beekeeping causes positive rush
15:31
of adrenaline. While beekeeping, you have to be
15:34
calm during it. You are mindful of your
15:37
movements. Each week, a veteran will
15:40
receive a mindful meditation to build emotional and mental skill
15:43
sets. Mindfulness is a set of three
15:46
attentional skills that work together, concentration, sensory
15:50
clarity and equanimity, mental calmness, composure, evenness of
15:55
temper. Every time mindfulness is
15:57
practiced, we build these skills.
15:59
Beekeeping for veterans not only helps veterans overcome
16:03
emotional trauma but also aids our environment as without bees
16:07
there is no food. Come forward.
16:10

16:13

Opinions expressed in this program are those of the
16:31
speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions
16:36
of any entities they represent. Welcome back to Man Talk 133
16:43
with me and Unite. Welcome back to the show y'all.
16:47
Tonight we're talking about how to reinvent your life.
16:50
We went through some things in the first segment you you know,
16:53
that would you can go back and listen to.
16:55
But when we entered the first segment, we was talking about
16:58
John, Jim, Ron. He was an American entrepreneur,
17:03
author, motivational speaker and he said that you are, I'm
17:08
reading the quote, you are average of the five people you
17:14
spend the most time with. So who you spending time with
17:18
Now that doesn't always have to be something negative.
17:21
And it could be you may, you may spend around your time around
17:25
smart people, people that is making money if that's what you
17:27
want to do, people that starting businesses, if that's what you
17:30
want to do, right? So it's not always something
17:32
that's bad, but you got to check who you are spending your time
17:37
with. If you're spending time around
17:39
bad people, change the circle. Change the circle.
17:43
And if you're a person that's, you know, making ground, people
17:46
that's making money and they're starting to get greedy, change
17:49
the circle. You got to change the circle.
17:52
And you got to ask yourself, now ask yourself, who stretches me?
17:57
Are the people around me? Do they stretch me or am I
18:01
always doing all the stretching? Who celebrates me?
18:08
Do I have accomplishments? Who celebrates me or am I doing
18:14
all the celebrating? Some people are just natural
18:17
encourage. It's like, you know, Barnabas in
18:19
the Bible, he was a, you know, a natural encourager.
18:22
But some people are so jealous they can't celebrate with you.
18:28
If you got jealous folk around you that can't celebrate when
18:32
something good happens to you, change your circle.
18:36
Who drains me Every time something happens, they call me
18:47
and they drain you for information and they suck you
18:50
dry and you're just like, man, why?
18:52
Every time something happens, they call me.
18:55
I'm tired of people calling me all the time.
18:58
It's stressful. Like if that's the case, change
19:03
a circle. Change a circle.
19:06
This is a this is one right here that a lot of people do who only
19:10
calls when they need something all year, everything good they
19:17
don't, you don't heard nothing from them.
19:20
But when they need something, I have a flat tire, I need $10.00
19:25
or $20 or whatever they may need.
19:28
Guess what? Guess who you going to hear from
19:31
them? You'll hear from them then.
19:35
So who, who, who on the calls when they need something?
19:40
If you got those people around you that's doing that, you got
19:45
to change your circle, right? Statistics show social support,
19:51
strong influences, resilience, motivation and long term
19:55
success. Sometimes reinvention requires
20:01
replacing your environment. That's right, you got to move.
20:06
Sometimes you got to move from around people.
20:09
Because they will keep you stuck in a place you got to move
20:13
sometime. If you're around people, that's
20:15
all they're doing is just draining you all the time.
20:17
And they and you're the breadwinner for everybody.
20:20
You got to move. We got to go do something
20:23
different. For example, Abraham, you know,
20:30
you had to leave. He had to separate from lot.
20:33
You got to just, sometimes you got to separate.
20:36
Sometimes God calls you away before he calls you upward.
20:40
He cannot take you up if you got people hanging onto your ankles
20:45
and you trying to go up. And every time you go up, they
20:47
pull you right back down, you know, telling you negative
20:52
stuff. And you know, you know that
20:54
ain't God telling you to do that.
20:56
I mean, come on now. We've been together for years.
20:59
We've been doing this for years together.
21:02
Now you're going now you're going to try to move away.
21:05
I mean, I mean, do you, do you know, do you know that?
21:09
Do you know, do you know that when you moves like that and how
21:13
much it going to cost you? I mean, you even have no friends
21:16
up there. You ain't going to just tell
21:19
them I'm going to make new friends.
21:20
I made y'all friends, y'all my friends.
21:23
I can make new friends. You got to move.
21:25
You got to learn new skills. The fastest growing people never
21:31
stop learning. They never stop educating
21:35
themselves, no matter how high that how how high they get, they
21:40
never stop educating themselves. They never stop learning.
21:45
This is how they do it books now this is this is I would say it's
21:51
a true statement, but they always used to want to race.
21:54
When they say this, we want to keep something black vote put in
21:57
the book. I say it like this, if you if
22:01
you want to hide something from people, put it in the book
22:06
because everybody don't like reading.
22:07
There ain't only black folk that don't like reading.
22:11
A lot of people don't like reading.
22:14
If you want to hide something from them, put it in a book.
22:18
Listen to Podcast Man Talk 133 when you make listen podcast
22:27
like this, whatever it is you're trying to go and grow into,
22:31
listen to those type of podcasts, right?
22:34
Get mentors, put people around you.
22:37
That's going to help you get to the place you need to get to.
22:41
Don't put people around you. They can't help you get nowhere.
22:45
No matter where you going, they can't help you.
22:48
It's no need of having people around you.
22:51
No need at all. You're going to waste a lot of
22:53
time, a lot of energy. They're going to drain you,
22:56
they're going to suck you dry. And then in the end, you still
23:00
ain't going to be able to get what you need to get to get you.
23:03
Some mentors take courses. You got to take courses, y'all,
23:09
You got to. You got to take courses to
23:11
educate yourself. You got to, you know, I took
23:15
some courses and I said this before and I'm going to say it
23:18
again. I'm a certified business
23:20
consultant and a certified life coach.
23:23
I had to take courses to learn different things.
23:28
I had to. There's no court, no way around
23:30
it. Start networking.
23:32
If you're getting into a certain field, a real field or business
23:36
field or whatever, start networking with people in that
23:40
field. That way you know, you can start
23:44
building your, you know, your Rolodex, so to speak, where
23:48
people can, you know, you can reach out to people.
23:49
They got questions like if you have questions like hey, you
23:53
know, I need to figure out I got this deal on the table, but I
23:58
don't really quite know how to land the deal.
24:01
You know, can you help me or can I bring you and you partner with
24:04
me and you know, we, you know, make a little money together.
24:08
You got a network, y'all. You got a network now.
24:11
This is what it says. Average CE OS reportedly read
24:15
dozens of books each year. How many have you read?
24:19
Ain't going to lie, y'all? Hey, you don't need me to lie.
24:23
Ain't no big book reader now, I mean, ain't no big book reader.
24:29
This I, I, I don't think I read. Maybe won't.
24:33
I don't know if I read one this year.
24:34
I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I'm not a big book reader at
24:37
all. Successful people invest in
24:40
learning. You got to spend some money.
24:43
I know that YouTube stuff is free and I know all these other
24:47
places are free, but you got to spend some money.
24:50
If you want to get in depth information and knowledge of
24:54
what you're trying to grow into, you got to you got to poor
24:59
thinking keeps people poor. If all y'all work together and
25:06
all y'all poor and all y'all just recycling poor information,
25:12
that poor minds that y'all just keep recycling, recycling,
25:16
recycling recycling. Y'all going to be thinking poor
25:20
and it going to keep y'all poor. That's just bottom line is no
25:23
way around it. If you're around rich people and
25:28
you thinking rich, you're going to be rich because you're
25:31
thinking rich. You got a mindset.
25:33
You you're thinking, hey, I want I'm going to be rich.
25:37
So this is what I'm going to do right here.
25:39
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, right.
25:42
So listen, I'm going to challenge y'all because I got
25:45
I'm going to challenge my sister.
25:47
I ain't going to listen. I ain't going to sit here and
25:49
tell y'all that I'm going to do the things that I'm challenging
25:54
y'all. So I'm, I'm, I'm actually
25:56
challenging myself at the same time.
25:59
Read one book every month. That's 12 books a year.
26:05
Imagine how you're going to become if you are trying to get
26:09
into real estate or real estate investing or you know, whatever
26:14
it is you're trying to get into and you read 12 books in one
26:20
year about it. Imagine how much more informed
26:25
you going to be when it comes down to you know you, when you
26:31
when it comes down to you starting to do real estate on
26:34
your own like you, you learn so much right from reading 12 books
26:41
a year. I can't commit to it.
26:43
I ain't going to sit here and tell y'all I'm going to commit
26:45
to that. Y'all that's I'll try.
26:47
Just do what I'm going to tell y'all like that.
26:49
I give it a shot. Can't guarantee you I'm going to
26:52
do it. Reinvent your health, your
26:55
energy changes everything. You exercise, drink water, get
27:02
the right amount of sleep. That's one of the things I got
27:04
to work on. Y'all nutrition.
27:06
I don't eat really bad, but I don't eat really good either
27:09
because the salads right now is one of them things I don't know
27:14
got to find another healthy way to eat.
27:16
Manage your stress. Stress management.
27:18
You got to be able to manage your stress no matter what it is
27:23
life. Kids going to stress you, your
27:27
husband or wife going to stress you, work going to stress you,
27:30
hurt going to stress you, traffic going to stress you, a
27:33
lot of things going to stress you Got to be able to manage the
27:37
stress y'all. You got to be able to get in the
27:40
gym or even walk. You ain't necessarily got to go
27:43
to the gym. You can walk at least 30 minutes
27:48
outside. They don't cost you nothing to
27:50
go outside and walk, you know what I mean?
27:53
And drink water ain't talking about 8 ounces in two days.
27:57
I'm talking about I drink probably about 120 ounces of
28:00
water a day. So drink your water y'all.
28:04
Now studies consistently show regular physical activity
28:11
improves mood, cognitive function and long term health.
28:18
So as long as you getting out doing something, you ain't got
28:21
to be perfect. You just got to be consistent in
28:23
what you're doing. Your body is the temple of the
28:28
Holy Spirit. So don't defile it, don't put
28:33
alcohol in it, don't smoke and doing all this wild stuff with
28:37
your body like you, you got 1, you got 1.
28:41
You better take care of it. You got one.
28:44
Take care of your body. Seriously, you got to do that.
28:49
You got to reinvent, reinvent your finances.
28:54
Most people don't need more money.
28:58
Most people don't need more money.
29:01
They need better habits. They need how to learn how to
29:04
manage it better, budget it better.
29:07
That's what they need. They don't need a whole lot more
29:10
money because the more money you get, the more you're going to
29:12
spend it on nonsense. So you don't need more money.
29:17
Dang, well you do need more money.
29:22
But I'm saying like most people that have this making a good
29:26
amount of money don't need more money.
29:29
They just need need to know how to budget what they have and
29:32
that'd be just fine. Think about the folk in the old
29:34
days, y'all? I mean, think about it, they
29:37
ain't, they're not. They were wasn't making nowhere
29:41
near where we make it and they made it with some of them have
29:43
10 kids. Like I know where y'all eat,
29:46
feed 10 kids. Good grief, I know where y'all
29:49
make 10 kids. You know what I'm saying?
29:51
Anyway, I digress. You don't need you just need
29:56
better habits. You got to budget better.
29:58
You got to do you know what? I'm up up against the break.
30:01
So I'm going to come back and get in to reinvent your finances
30:05
right after the break y'all. It's time for a vacation and

31:22
Welcome back to Man Talk 133, where me and unite.
31:26
Tonight we're going to reinvent y'all lives.
31:29
Tonight for show. For show, we're going to
31:32
reinvent y'all lives telling you before I went to the break we
31:37
were talking about people don't need more.
31:38
Most people don't need more money.
31:40
They need better habits. One of the habits they need is
31:44
how to budget, how to budget them bucks.
31:47
If you don't know how to budget them bucks, you're going to be
31:50
in trouble. That's a fact.
31:51
I don't know how much money you got.
31:53
You ever think about it? People think they just need
31:56
more. If I just have more money, I
31:58
have more money. I could listen.
32:01
It's been millionaires that didn't know how to budget their
32:07
money and we're broke completely.
32:10
Broke. So you got to know how to
32:12
budget, right? You got to learn how to budget
32:14
your money. You got to know how to save.
32:18
You got to know how to invest. This is the thing that get a lot
32:23
of people. You got to stop impulse
32:25
spending. I've been guilty of it, y'all.
32:31
Another surprise, surprise. I've been, I've been guilty of
32:35
impulse spending, y'all. I mean, I, you know, I see a
32:39
pair of shoes. I'm just like, man, I like
32:42
these. And then I see another pair and
32:44
I'm like, Dang, I like them too. And I'm like, you knew what,
32:49
Dang, I'm going to get both of them.
32:51
You know what I'm going to do impulse spending.
32:53
We got to stop doing that, you know, we got to stop.
32:56
We got to stop doing that multiple streams of income.
33:01
We got to create more ways to make money more than just your
33:05
job. You got to have any put you some
33:07
get you some investments, you know, get your little side
33:11
hustle, whatever you doing to try to get other money in,
33:15
right. So you can set up these things
33:18
like emergency, emergency funds. Ain't saying you can't set it up
33:22
now, but it'll help you put more into your emergency fund.
33:26
I think some people say is about what, 6, six months or something
33:30
like that. You should have say for
33:32
emergency fund. If you go to a job, and I tell
33:35
everybody this, I don't care where you go to.
33:40
If you go to a job, get into to their retirement program, you
33:45
got to it helps you for invest for retirement.
33:50
You know, if you don't, if you feel like this is the job, won't
33:52
be here forever, get it to the retirement program y'all, and
33:57
match what they, if they match, match it.
34:01
You ain't going to miss the money anyway.
34:03
And plus you're going to get it and triggered off on coffee and
34:05
stuff anyway, so you ain't going to see it.
34:08
I think it's pre tax. You get it before they take it
34:12
out before you ain't get taxed. You know what I'm saying?
34:15
So you're not going to miss it. Get into retirement programs
34:19
that people have. Start investing, start small.
34:22
Do not invest in. If people going to come and tell
34:25
you, hey, you know what, I got your program.
34:28
If you give me $1000, I guarantee you by the end of the
34:33
year you're going to have at least 2,000,000.
34:36
If you don't take our run in the other way, Hawaii the other way
34:42
and while you running away from them, call my liar on the way
34:46
while you running away from because it is most definitely a
34:50
scam. I'm just letting you know that
34:51
right now. Hey, if you got a talent,
34:55
something that you good at get you a side business, set you up
34:58
a side business, you know what I mean?
35:01
Do something that you good with your hands.
35:03
You know, if you can start a podcast, a YouTube channel, if
35:06
you like to talk and you exciting and people want to look
35:11
at you. Hey, start a channel.
35:13
Never know where it may grow into.
35:15
That's what man talk did was, you know, my brother and I, you
35:20
know, I started this thing and brought him in and brought
35:23
Marcus in and you know, we turned it in, you know, to
35:27
YouTube and then it just went from there.
35:30
And that's, you know, it's it's growing where it's growing, you
35:33
know, and it turned into a clothing line that came out of
35:37
it, which is again, man talk 133 apparel co.com.
35:45
I'm put the link here, but y'all don't worry about it.
35:47
I got you. Don't worry about it.
35:48
I got you social media income. If you are able to, you know,
35:56
you, you know, you ain't got to be articulate.
35:58
You ain't got to be polished. You don't have to be like, you
36:01
know, one of the greatest speakers like Les Brown and and
36:05
the other guy talk about John, Jim, Ron, you don't got to be
36:08
polished like those guys. Just get up there.
36:11
And if it's if you consistent because you're going to it's
36:14
you're going to need consistency and discipline and social media,
36:18
you're definitely going to need it.
36:20
And you can potentially create you a side income digital
36:24
products. If you're selling something
36:27
that's a digital like a ebook or something like that.
36:31
Joe KDP, Amazon KDP, self published, all these different
36:37
things. You can do self publish your own
36:40
book, you know, KDP and you know, once you do it up there,
36:44
you can put it on a whole lot of other different plat, Barnes and
36:48
Noble and all the different place.
36:50
I got a book out there. Ministry from my perspective by
36:53
Shaw Whitaker is all over. Check it out Real estate.
36:59
Now this is one of the things I was in pretty heavy, you know, I
37:03
had it was about property. So if you get into the market at
37:16
the right time, whether you're going to get in and flip or when
37:21
you're going to get in and hold, if you get in at the right time,
37:26
you can hold them. I end up getting in at a good
37:28
time, but then a bad time because 2008 hit, you know, the
37:32
bottom fell out. So you kind of you had to get
37:35
rid of it. If you, you know people won't
37:37
pay in and also you had to get rid of it.
37:39
So that's what I did. Still did pretty good with real
37:42
estate, really good with real estate.
37:44
So look at real estate. Remember the in the Bible talk
37:49
about the parable of the talents.
37:51
He gave one, he buried in the ground, he gave another one this
37:54
amount and he gave one of them X amount and he multiplied it.
38:00
So God bless the multiplication not excuses the other one when
38:05
buried in the ground. Like, you know, it's it's the
38:08
purpose of that you're going buried in the ground for what?
38:10
Like it? That didn't make sense, you know
38:12
what I'm saying? Just like, you know, if you
38:14
going to invest in something, invest, you know what I mean?
38:19
Listen, OK, if you can find some invest in where you're making
38:24
let's say 10% on your money, right?
38:32
Versus somewhere where you getting less than 1%.
38:37
You might want to take the money and put it where you going to
38:40
get the 10% long as it's a safe investment.
38:43
Because the 1% or less than 1% to hold on a credit union or
38:47
bank or whatever is not doing you any good, none whatsoever.
38:51
They're making money with your money and give you the crumbs
38:54
off of it. So yeah, you got to reinvent
38:57
your mind. Everything begins with your
39:00
thinking as a man thinking in his heart, so is he, whether it
39:05
be good or bad. So you got to think and you got
39:10
to be thinking all the time. Negative thinking creates
39:13
negative living positive thinking without action changes
39:17
nothing. So if you're thinking positive,
39:21
it's basically, it's basically like faith without works is
39:24
dead. You got all this faith, but you
39:27
ain't moving on nothing. So it's basically, it ain't
39:31
going to change nothing. Just going to be just stuck in
39:33
this cycle where you doing nothing.
39:36
It's it faith requires action. I just said that faith without
39:43
works is dead, period. There ain't no way of getting
39:47
around it. You have all the faith in the
39:49
world, but if you ain't moving forward on nothing, you're going
39:52
to stay stuck. That's the fact.
39:56
These are some practical habits. Y'all morning gratitude, Wake up
40:02
thankful, grateful, thanking the Lord for your another day.
40:07
You know they because he the Bible say hey, daily loads who
40:11
are benefits. Don't you want to know what your
40:12
benefits are? Talk to them.
40:15
God, what benefits I got today? You said I got you say you load
40:18
me with daily benefit. What is it?
40:20
I want to know what they are for today because I, I mean, I know
40:24
what happened to me yesterday. I had, I had some crazy favor.
40:27
Everywhere I went, things happened for me.
40:30
I mean, I just like, hey, I went in this place.
40:32
I got, you know, they somebody to pay for my food.
40:35
I went in this place and you know, I thought it was going to
40:37
be $300 and end up being 100 because they had $200 off
40:42
discount just for me. So I mean, hey, prayer, you got
40:48
to get got to give up in the morning and pray.
40:50
You got to get up and read the Bible or whatever it is is going
40:54
to get you to the place you need to be.
40:59
You got to sit down and write down these goals.
41:03
You got to write them down. Y'all ain't no way of getting
41:05
around it. You got to take a book because
41:08
what I'm going to tell you what happens, you could be riding and
41:12
you thinking of something like, Dang, that's a great idea.
41:15
Wow, that's a great idea. That is a great idea.
41:21
Wow. You think about, think about,
41:23
think about somebody cut you off and you get mad with them and
41:27
you forget what the idea was. Or you think about in the bed.
41:32
You know what, I get up in the morning, I'm going to write.
41:34
I'm going to jot this down as soon as I get up in the morning.
41:37
I'm going to write this down and guess what?
41:39
You forget what it was or you forget all of you remember some
41:43
of it, but not all of it, right? Affirmations rooted in
41:48
Scripture. We just affirmations limited
41:53
negative media. Let me tell y'all something
41:55
right now. Excuse me, y'all the news, Lord
42:02
have mercy. The news right now, y'all is
42:06
negative media. I hate to say it, All of them
42:09
negative media. All of them are negative media
42:12
right now. Whether you're Democrat or
42:14
Republican or independent or whatever or libertarian,
42:19
whatever you are, all the news outlets right now are negative.
42:25
So you got to limit that. You got to limit what you what
42:30
you, you know, your ear gates and your eye gates, right?
42:33
Because Romans 12 and two says be you transformed by the
42:35
renewing of your mind. You got to renew your mind with
42:38
positive thinking, positive things.
42:40
It's no question about it. You have to reinvent your
42:43
purpose. Purpose answers what?
42:48
Why am I here? Why many people chase money that
42:53
ain't may not be what your purpose is.
42:56
Your purpose may be to help young kids and take a less pay,
43:00
take a pay cut, as they said, take a haircut on it.
43:05
You know what I'm saying? If you if that's what your
43:07
purpose is and and it's fulfilling to you, then forget
43:13
the money that's going to come. You know what I mean?
43:18
You got to know why am I here? You know, some, some people
43:22
chase money, some other people chase titles.
43:25
Their whole goal in life is somebody to call them a prophet.
43:30
Yeah. And you know, I'm a prophet.
43:33
So and so, yeah. You know, I, I, you know, I
43:38
since when people chase, some people chase.
43:41
I've been trying to, I've been working at this job for 30 years
43:44
and they finally promoted me to supervisor.
43:47
You just that's what they chase, but fulfillment comes from
43:54
purpose. If you know what your purpose
43:57
is, that's what you're going to be fulfilled.
43:59
You're going to really be like man, like dude, I feel so I can
44:04
do this for free. They ain't even really got to
44:05
pay me to do this. You know what I mean?
44:08
So that's what that's when you know it's your purpose, right?
44:11
If money wasn't an issue, what would you spend your life doing?
44:18
If if you didn't have to worry about money at all in life, what
44:23
would you spend your life doing? I don't know.
44:28
I mean, that was a good question because you got to think about
44:30
it. I don't know.
44:33
Would you spend your life mentoring serving, building,
44:38
giving You know what would be your Kingdom impact or usually
44:44
going to have money and do nothing just sit around do
44:47
nothing. I don't know what what would it
44:50
be y'all? I, I, I tend to think I'll be
44:54
try to be mental to some people. You know, I, I would like to
44:57
create as create as many millionaires as I possibly
45:00
could. If I'm a millionaire, you get
45:02
what I'm saying? Give them the blueprint for them
45:04
to become millionaires as well responsible people.
45:07
I'll be right back after the break.
45:08
Y'all stats tell that. Each day, 22 veterans commit
45:11
suicide due to PTSD. These stats shook us and urged
45:16
us to do our part. After hours and hours of
45:19
thinking, beekeeping for veterans was born.
45:23
Beekeeping for veterans combines beekeeping with mindfulness
45:27
meditation. Why combine them?
45:29
Here's why. Beekeeping causes positive rush
45:33
of adrenaline. While beekeeping you have to be
45:36
calm during it. You are mindful of your
45:38
movements. Each week a veteran will receive
45:41
a mindful meditation to build emotional and mental skill sets.
45:45
Mindfulness is a set of three attentional skills that work
45:49
together. Concentration, sensory clarity
45:52
and equanimity, mental calmness, composure, evenness of temper.
45:57
Every time mindfulness is practiced, we build these
46:00
skills. Beekeeping for veterans not only
46:03
helps veterans overcome emotional trauma but also aids
46:07
our environment as without bees there is no food.
46:10
Come forward. The people who have supported
46:13
your country now need your support.

46:52
Y'all just going to y'all reinvent y'all life if y'all
46:55
want to. It's all choice.
46:58
If you want to do it, you can. If you don't, on you the
47:02
information that's there, you just got to go apply it.
47:06
Faith without words is dead and you don't have no faith.
47:10
If you got faith and no works, you can stay stuck in the same
47:15
old place. That's just how they're going to
47:18
go. Sorry to tell y'all, sorry.
47:21
All right, so before we get out of here, right, I'm going to
47:25
give you some steps for your 90 day reinvention plan.
47:30
All right, we're going to go through week one week one, week
47:34
1. Y'all, I mean it's a lot, but
47:36
y'all can go back and listen to it, right?
47:38
But this before we get out of here, I'm a challenge.
47:40
Everyone listening to me tonight and week 1, clean your house,
47:46
clean your phone, delete distractions, write down goals.
47:52
Week two, start exercising, read daily, pray daily, read the
47:59
Bible, read something I would say the Bible and something
48:03
else. That's just me.
48:04
That's what I was saying. Pray daily.
48:06
Let me tell y'all someone about the prayer thing, you know, and
48:09
the exercise thing too. The prayer thing is, you know,
48:14
some people think you got to pray for an hour.
48:18
They see the older people that pray for 23rd and folded fifty
48:22
6070 minutes. You'd be like whoa, I got to
48:26
pray that long. No, you don't.
48:28
You don't have to pray that long.
48:29
You don't start somewhere though.
48:32
You got to start somewhere. Start somewhere, please start
48:35
somewhere. 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 7 minutes, 10 minutes.
48:39
Start somewhere y'all. It's like exercising.
48:43
Some people CD4 get on the elliptical and they be up there
48:46
for like 2 hours. They be like like it ain't
48:48
bothering them. Don't do that.
48:51
Start with the 10 minutes of time, whatever you got in, you
48:56
don't matter, just whatever you got in, you start somewhere.
49:01
Week 3, find a mentor, somebody you can trust, somebody that you
49:06
know is going to give you the right advice that you need for
49:09
you to move forward and what you're trying to get to.
49:13
Join a community, you know the real estate community or AI
49:18
community where you know people trying to learn AI and what not.
49:21
Join a community, you know what I'm saying?
49:24
Like they get all types of communities.
49:26
Now join one. And another thing, when you join
49:31
these communities, ignore the trolls because you're going to
49:34
have people in that troll and then acting all crazy, saying
49:38
all crazy weird. Ignore them.
49:40
Know what your purpose is, what you go in there for.
49:43
I'm in here to get this. That's it.
49:46
Do not let people trick you out of what you coming in.
49:50
If you come to get knowledge and education, then act like a fool.
49:54
Network intentionally. If you're in and I keep going to
49:59
real estate or if you in Bitcoin or crypto, whatever, network
50:05
intentionally to those type of people.
50:09
You know what I mean? Make sure you do that.
50:12
I but #2 create a budget, create a budget, start a side hustle,
50:22
something that can bring you some money in.
50:25
Take one class. I ain't said 23451 class, just
50:30
one class that'll help you, that you feel like it's going to help
50:34
you, whether it be coding, whether it be, you know,
50:37
self-paced classes for you, you know, for you want to do
50:40
something different? Take a class month #3 I think
50:45
you've done that lunch something.
50:47
You know what I hadn't done any classes.
50:49
Next time for me to launch some, I need to start some now because
50:54
I'm dead. What happened?
50:54
You take these classes, right? And people go ahead and
50:57
implement the information. You'll forget it and then you
51:01
don't. Then you have to go back and
51:03
either relearn it or drop it. That what you end up doing.
51:07
Start the YouTube channel. Is that what you want to do?
51:11
If that's your if that's your purpose and your plan, start it.
51:15
It's free. Don't cost you nothing.
51:18
You just got to be consistent with this thing.
51:20
Y'all. It's nothing.
51:24
When people start these YouTube channels, they think it's you
51:26
going to get up and have a viral moment and I don't even regulate
51:30
all this money. It's not trust me, it's not like
51:33
that, not at all. Believe you and me, write the
51:38
book. If you had a book that you've
51:39
been contemplating about, write it.
51:42
Write it. The job.
51:44
Come over at the job. Some come over at the job.
51:47
You know where I you know, I think I'm qualified for, but I
51:51
don't know if I'm really quite. Stop talking yourself out of
51:53
stuff. Go apply for the promotion.
51:57
Start the business. If you're changing tires and
52:01
you're going to start a changing tire through, you know, one of
52:04
these warranty companies or like AUSA or something where you can
52:08
do roadside start a business, stop, procrastinate, Lead the
52:12
Bible study instead of you preaching to everybody else all
52:17
the time, right? You know, to your family or to
52:22
yourself. Start the Bible, lead it, get up
52:26
there. So you know what, you know, I'm,
52:27
I'm gonna go ahead and lead this tonight, you know, because it's
52:30
it's yeah, I got to go ahead and handle this tonight because it's
52:34
my time now for me to start to lead.
52:40
Take the first step. Take it, take it.
52:44
Just take the step, y'all. I'm going to tell you one, you
52:49
know, back in the day, it's two things we used to do and you
52:55
would have to take the step. One thing was when you step off
52:59
in the pool now I couldn't swim. I can I can save me right now.
53:04
Ain't nobody else they in trouble.
53:05
I mean better call on Jesus because you step you in there.
53:09
I can't unless I'm able to stand up.
53:12
You in trouble, right. So so you have to take the step
53:19
into the water. Take the step.
53:22
We just jump off the top of houses.
53:25
First thing you got to do is take the step and step off of
53:29
it, right? You don't need another January.
53:33
You don't need another Monday. You don't need permission.
53:37
You don't need to be perfect, Need the conditions to be
53:40
perfect. You don't need all of that.
53:42
You need one decision. God specialize in taking broken
53:48
people and building beautiful futures.
53:51
Moses reinvented. David reinvented.
53:55
Peter reinvented. Paul reinvented.
53:59
If you if God could transfer murders into missionaries,
54:03
powers into leaders, fishermen into world changes, then he
54:07
could certainly reinvent your life.
54:09
The greatest version of you isn't behind you.
54:13
It isn't behind you. It's still ahead of you.
54:17
Stop living beneath your calling.
54:21
Rise, grow, learn, lead, and never forget.
54:27
Don't forget man talk. We believe men are just called
54:31
to exist. They're called to lead with
54:33
faith, integrity, purpose and courage.
