IQ TEST - Episode 237

0:00Welcome to the new day. I'm thinking that God is confusing my words to teach my lesson here. And perhaps it's me that needs to be teaching the lesson to myself and follow through on things that I said I would do, but I didn't do just yet this morning. What I'm thinking about is a lot of things. I'm thinking about capitalism, I'm thinking about Bible stories, thinking about the different ways that sabotage ourselves and perhaps maybe that's what God has reminded me of right now in my own birth. I have to say that I'm sabotaging myself, but there is something I can be doing in the next 10 minutes. So let me wrap this up as best as I can while still driving home the point. I'm in a situation where a prospect reaches out and says, hey, do you have a scholarship program? One where you give access to all the materials and the coaching

1:00for free, knowing that this person is going to do very well, that this person deserves it, that's the sentence that's took out. And that when they hit the point that you guarantee they pay you back and even more so then we'll just ask at the onset. Now here's the answer. Yes, we do have that. Not only do we have the scholarship program, but we show you what the scholarship program is. It's one of the first messages that we send you in the form of a video. Show you what the program is, how to qualify it, how we choose it. And this is included among other materials that happen at the onboarding period before you even get to the call with us. So that way you never have to wonder who are these people, where they come from. Yes, they're established in their own right, but I've never heard of them. We're giving you that sense of trust, rapport as best as we can before we hop on the call.

2:02So that way when you are on the call, we know that it's a relative smooth yes. You're not there to tire kick. Nine times out of ten it works very well. You know what it is. You run a business. I'm not telling you anything new. So it's interesting how we show people the receipts. We show people our students. We show the results that they get. And then we say, hey, if you want to have these results, you're going to have to have these characteristics. And if you have these characteristics in mass and you're doing very well, then we will reward you with this scholarship. Because we know that not only if we give it to you, so that means on day one, you're making 10k, you're all set with the business. But on top of that, you can do it for yourself and you can multiply that 10k in a way that other students would have to wait six months or so to do. So you have every key tool for success. All you have to do though, this is the hardest investment of all.

3:05You have to listen. You have to follow directions. Which means you have to read the text. You have to read the emails. You have to read the materials that we send you. And it's not overwhelming. It's everything that you need. We even give you the blueprint. We give you three out of the four steps. I'll say four steps. Of course, I show them on the call. But those first three steps, whether you talk to me or not, you can go off and do well. You can get all the results that we talk about all the results that are as soon as we get without ever having to spend a dime with those. So you have all of these parameters, all of these opportunities for success. That means whenever someone reaches out to me and asks for extra help or extra support, I know they didn't go through it. I know that, all right, as a coach, this is how I got to talk with them to get them over the hump of their own, say, distractions, their own past patterns, their own living in beliefs, whatever case they may be, in order to bridge them to where they want to be. So I think about this on many different levels. I think about it from the Bible stories where God purposely confused me.

4:07And misguided people, hardened their hearts, as it often says, on purpose. So the person knew better, could do better, was able to make a decision, but he didn't allow them to because he wanted to serve a greater purpose. So a great example of this is God and exodus telling Moses, hey, I'm going to go, have you talk with Pharaoh, ask him to let your people go. He's going to say no, but it's not because he wants to say no. It's going to be because I'm hardening his heart to say no. And Moses is just... is complying, he goes for it, knowing that how it's already going to play out, but that the process is more important than the promise. At least I've had to date. I think about capitalism because we all like to talk about capitalism, what they're for or against is fundamentally we all live in it. Everything is capitalism, including communism and socialism, it's just capital, capitalism with a few extra steps. Instead of the capital being afforded to the people, it's maintained by small few.

5:09So it's the same. I don't even know why we bother to have arguments about it. But what capitalism is in its truest nature, you have all these people that want handouts, what they tell you that they're a capitalist. Think about the bailouts in the various different industries throughout your lifetime, banking, finance, real estate, etc. etc. And so even the tech bubble back in the day. So it's one of those things where if these were true capitalists, they would take their punishment and use it as not even as a punishment, but as a reward for, hey, you know what? I need to learn something new. I need to adapt because clearly I'm doing something wrong. And if I'm doing something wrong, all it takes is an audit to figure that out, make the changes and get the positive results that I want. So there's no shame in it, there's no guilt. The only shame is to quit, give up, or to take the bailout. And this is how we know that deep down, a lot of these who do take their bailouts and they're happy and they look like they're successful, we all know that they're cowards.

6:12They don't believe in capitalism, which means they don't really believe in themselves. It's a lot that goes into it. So I'm thinking about these different things. And it's just the nature of humanity, right? We say one thing, we do another. When we're not living at a high enough consciousness to catch ourselves, to reflect. So even at the beginning of this call I realize, oh wait, you know what? The reason I'm having a hard time recording this episode is because I'm not following through on the less than myself. And I don't feel bad about that, I'm not embarrassed to talk with you about it, there's no shame. There could be, don't get me wrong, but that's only if I put it on it. It's not there intrinsically, enabling. That process is very hard for most people. And a lot of it is consciousness. It is consciousness. It's, do you have the high enough self-esteem and self-respect to not want to lie to yourself?

7:12Do you have that sense of self-responsibility and self-determination to treat yourself well even when you're going through a tough time? So you're not that extra lash on your own back. So I'm considering all these things as I adapt to these situations because I'm not always going to coach the way that I did the first half of the year. It's like, alright, what do I need to learn? What do I need to put into it? So this is an IQ test on many different levels. One, are you actually paying attention? Is your consciousness at a high enough level where the steps in front of you, which are plainly written, plainly outlined, are there for your success, but are you using them? So I'm going to do four sets of success. If not, now's your reminder to shift. After this, I know exactly what I'm going to do with what I'm going to do and how I'm going to do it to get back on track. That's going to take me about 10 minutes. 25 max.

8:13And consider that. I also think about that capitalism thing. I think it's something I'm going to talk more about. But it's funny, for lots of people, we tell ourselves about capitalism, how we actually relate to it. I guess I'll find out myself in a story about it. But we're not looking out for handouts, we're just looking out for advantages. And the advantage is typically come from the thing that the person in this story missed out on, which is listening. Until every prospect, every seed of this, the reason we are so successful is because we've listened very well. If you can listen and develop that skill, because listening is understanding. If you have a high level of understanding, you will never be uncomfortable, you will never be cowardly, you will never be confused outside of God. You're trying to teach you a lesson. You will always be in a position to do things courageously and reap the rewards of that.

9:15That's the IQ test for the day. Pass it and consider all the rest.
