00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.361
Hey, what's up.

00:00:00.361 --> 00:00:01.266
What's up everybody?

00:00:01.266 --> 00:00:03.367
This is the Boozy Vision Podcast.

00:00:03.367 --> 00:00:04.685
I am Cleave the Visionary.

00:00:04.685 --> 00:00:08.785
Please forgive if this audio quality sounds lower than usual.

00:00:08.785 --> 00:00:20.086
It's because it is while recording this episode my interface broke, so I'm actually recording this into my just like headphone microphone, so that's why it sounds like this.

00:00:20.086 --> 00:00:32.209
But I hope you're gonna enjoy this episode, because we are talking about how to avoid confusion and stagnation, from the perspective of a quote that I share on this episode that honestly, when I heard it.

00:00:33.149 --> 00:00:45.649
It completely changed my perspective on the build your vision journey the vision building journey, however you want to call it and just life in general, and I think it could be very profound and helpful for you as well.

00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:49.747
And in this episode we're going to actually be addressing it in two parts.

00:00:49.747 --> 00:01:10.512
So the first part will kind of be me expounding on the quote and what it means for me and how it could do the same thing for you possibly, and the second part is actually me having a conversation with someone who was on the call, a member of Visionpreneur School, which is my community for visionaries who want to make impact and income with their ideas, insights and influence.

00:01:10.512 --> 00:01:13.546
If you're not in there, I recommend it.

00:01:13.566 --> 00:01:24.887
The link will be in the description, but Danielle is really cool and down to earth and I think she really just brings a practicality and vulnerability to this topic that I think you will resonate with on a very deep level.

00:01:24.887 --> 00:01:26.390
So those are the two parts.

00:01:26.390 --> 00:01:45.108
You'll kind of hear a segue between those two, but this can really really change how we avoid the state of confusion and stagnation in our vision building journey, because if you're not intentional about it, it's going to happen and you could get stuck and I don't want that for you and I didn't want that for me, and this helped me, so I'm sharing it with you.

00:01:45.108 --> 00:01:45.850
I hope you enjoy.

00:01:46.421 --> 00:01:54.808
You're listening to the Build your Vision podcast, a podcast about building a life and business you are proud of as a Christian coach, consultant or educational content creator.

00:01:54.808 --> 00:02:08.134
I'm Cleetha Visionary, your host and CVO Chief Visionary Officer, and in each episode, this and in each episode, this show is designed to help you get a little more clear, because you can't build or create while you're confused.

00:02:11.008 --> 00:02:11.189
Let's go.

00:02:11.189 --> 00:02:13.521
What's keeping you from starting?

00:02:13.521 --> 00:02:17.186
What's keeping you from doing the thing?

00:02:17.186 --> 00:02:25.435
I was recently doing an exercise at my job and it was an assessment on clarity, which of course I love because clarity is my job.

00:02:25.435 --> 00:02:29.479
And it was an assessment on clarity, which of course I love because clarity is my thing.

00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:35.409
And I asked the question towards the end of the assessment that I thought, because it was so simple, was quite profound.

00:02:35.409 --> 00:02:40.182
And the question was, after all that we have talked about, oh, what are your dreams, what's your vision, what's your mission?

00:02:40.182 --> 00:02:41.183
Why does it matter to you?

00:02:41.183 --> 00:02:42.205
Why does it matter to you?

00:02:42.205 --> 00:02:45.431
The question it poses is what's stopping you?

00:02:45.431 --> 00:02:59.623
And I submit to you that answer is confusion.

00:02:59.623 --> 00:03:06.060
Not confused about what you want to do, not confused about how you want to do it, not confused about the vision you have for what you want to exist in this world.

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:10.084
About the vision you have for what you want to exist in this world, you're confused, from my experience, about where should.

00:03:10.245 --> 00:03:11.086
I start.

00:03:12.427 --> 00:03:14.509
What should I do next?

00:03:14.509 --> 00:03:19.981
How do I create what I see in my head?

00:03:19.981 --> 00:03:28.173
That is what's stopping most of us visionaries, because we can see the thing.

00:03:28.173 --> 00:03:31.163
But how do we get to that thing?

00:03:31.163 --> 00:03:31.945
I'm ill-equipped.

00:03:31.945 --> 00:03:35.543
I don't have the skills, I don't have the team, I don't have the manpower, I don't have the capital.

00:03:35.543 --> 00:03:38.569
What do I do?

00:03:40.495 --> 00:03:41.937
I love the quote by myron golden.

00:03:41.937 --> 00:03:43.723
I've never forgot it, ever since the first time I heard it.

00:03:43.723 --> 00:04:01.795
I don don't remember where I heard it, how I heard it or where I saw it, but I wrote it down and it says confusion is oftentimes manifested as a lack of clarity, and a lack of clarity is the result of not mastering the level you are on right now.

00:04:01.795 --> 00:04:13.866
Right now, I want to repeat that last phrase and a lack of clarity is the result of not mastering the level you are on right now.

00:04:13.866 --> 00:04:23.487
What's keeping us from mastering the level we are on right now is the question I want to pose to you.

00:04:23.487 --> 00:04:32.531
And maybe a better question is how do we master the level we are on right now?

00:04:32.531 --> 00:04:43.334
So I'm going to draw from a teaching that is from Genesis, chapter one and two, and in the beginning we know the creation story.

00:04:43.334 --> 00:04:50.391
Most of us that are probably listening to this that god created the heavens and the earth and he created all these different things.

00:04:50.391 --> 00:04:55.185
He created creation the, the sky, the lamb, the sea.

00:04:55.185 --> 00:05:07.540
He created creatures the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, the animals of the land and he created, created creators, human beings, male and female.

00:05:08.002 --> 00:05:23.831
Adam In Genesis when God creates man, he gives man a standard operating procedure of how to do life the three main pillars that he introduced to Adam in Genesis 1 and 2.

00:05:23.831 --> 00:05:30.050
That gave him the blueprint of how to live a fulfilling and pleasing and satisfying life.

00:05:30.050 --> 00:05:36.088
The first thing he told him to do was to be fruitful and to multiply, that is, to create.

00:05:36.088 --> 00:05:42.584
Second thing he told him to do is to tend to the garden and to name the animals.

00:05:42.584 --> 00:05:45.249
That was his contribution.

00:05:45.249 --> 00:05:51.045
And the last thing he said was it is not good for man to be alone.

00:05:51.045 --> 00:05:53.488
So he gave him a companion.

00:05:53.488 --> 00:05:55.312
Her name was Eve.

00:05:55.312 --> 00:05:57.903
Well, her name was later Eve.

00:05:57.903 --> 00:06:05.348
Those are the three containers of existence creation, contribution and connection.

00:06:06.312 --> 00:06:11.649
And whenever we as human beings are not doing one of those things, we are not fully fulfilled.

00:06:11.649 --> 00:06:20.375
We're not completely fulfilled and we are also not improving and getting better, aka forming mastery.

00:06:20.375 --> 00:06:35.040
See, if you want to master the level that you are presently on, you have to do these three things continuously you have to create, you have to contribute and you have to connect at your present level.

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:46.156
That's why I've named this session, this talk, at least for right now clarity through creation or clarity through creating.

00:06:46.156 --> 00:06:50.442
You will never think your way into clarity Now.

00:06:50.442 --> 00:06:51.505
Yes, thinking is important.

00:06:51.505 --> 00:06:54.362
It's actually one of the most important tasks that many people never do.

00:06:54.362 --> 00:06:58.670
But you also have to take action off of those thoughts.

00:06:58.670 --> 00:07:01.274
You have to create.

00:07:01.274 --> 00:07:03.543
But let's be real here.

00:07:03.543 --> 00:07:04.565
Let's be real here.

00:07:05.928 --> 00:07:09.062
We have to ask ourselves the question what do I create?

00:07:09.062 --> 00:07:11.428
I don't know what to create.

00:07:11.428 --> 00:07:14.367
Man, I keep hearing people say you got to create content, you got to do all this stuff.

00:07:14.367 --> 00:07:15.432
What do I create?

00:07:15.432 --> 00:07:17.100
What do I contribute?

00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:19.024
Who do I connect with?

00:07:19.024 --> 00:07:20.887
Well, let's answer these questions.

00:07:20.887 --> 00:07:22.230
What do I create?

00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:23.774
That's your content.

00:07:23.774 --> 00:07:26.781
Let's answer these questions.

00:07:26.781 --> 00:07:27.302
What do I create?

00:07:27.302 --> 00:07:27.783
That's your content.

00:07:27.783 --> 00:07:29.987
You create what you know how to create right now.

00:07:29.987 --> 00:07:30.908
What do I contribute?

00:07:30.908 --> 00:07:32.290
That's your offer.

00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:37.283
You contribute what you know how to contribute right now.

00:07:37.283 --> 00:07:39.805
Who do I connect with?

00:07:39.805 --> 00:07:41.247
That's your network.

00:07:41.247 --> 00:07:45.975
You connect with who you know to connect with right now.

00:07:47.600 --> 00:08:01.201
See, we often overcomplicate these things, including myself for a very long time, until I realized that I had value to offer, exactly where I was, I thought that I wasn't good enough.

00:08:01.201 --> 00:08:06.963
I thought that no one would want to hear about what I had because I wasn't where I wanted to be.

00:08:06.963 --> 00:08:12.485
Yet I thought no one would see me as valuable because I didn't think what I had was valuable.

00:08:12.485 --> 00:08:18.067
I thought I didn't have anything to create because everything was already created that I wanted to create and what I wanted to create.

00:08:18.067 --> 00:08:22.963
I didn't know how to create, but I didn't realize what I did know how to create was valuable.

00:08:22.963 --> 00:08:24.944
Can you identify with this at all?

00:08:24.944 --> 00:08:30.810
See, we have the tendency to try to build a house before we know how to lay a brick.

00:08:31.711 --> 00:08:35.073
What do you know how to make right now?

00:08:35.073 --> 00:08:38.017
What do you know how to create right now?

00:08:38.017 --> 00:08:41.504
Is it a PowerPoint presentation?

00:08:41.504 --> 00:08:42.285
Is it an article?

00:08:42.285 --> 00:08:44.711
Is it a live video?

00:08:44.711 --> 00:09:00.000
No-transcript?

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.764
Mastery is when you can do something without thinking about it.

00:09:03.764 --> 00:09:09.067
It comes so easy to you that you don't have to put conscious thought into it.

00:09:09.067 --> 00:09:10.682
You can do it on autopilot.

00:09:10.682 --> 00:09:17.706
That is mastery, master what you know how to create right now.

00:09:17.706 --> 00:09:19.818
What do you contribute?

00:09:19.818 --> 00:09:21.283
Oh, I don't have an offer.

00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:22.379
I have nothing to offer yet.

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:25.822
What do you know how to contribute right now?

00:09:25.822 --> 00:09:29.029
Is it that you know how to make logos?

00:09:29.029 --> 00:09:31.716
Is it that you know how to tutor students?

00:09:31.716 --> 00:09:34.721
Is it that you know how to bake cookies?

00:09:34.721 --> 00:09:38.908
Is it that you know how to launch podcasts?

00:09:38.908 --> 00:09:41.897
Is it that you know how to make YouTube thumbnails?

00:09:41.897 --> 00:09:43.698
Is it that you know how to write resumes?

00:09:43.698 --> 00:09:45.081
Is it that you know how to make YouTube thumbnails?

00:09:45.081 --> 00:09:46.341
Is it that you know how to write resumes?

00:09:46.341 --> 00:09:50.927
Is it that you know how to plant and garden flowers or plants or how to tend to gardens?

00:09:50.927 --> 00:09:53.750
Is it that you know how to cook vegan food?

00:09:53.750 --> 00:10:00.947
Is it that you know how to shop for cheap?

00:10:00.947 --> 00:10:03.053
Is it that you know how to scour the internet for coupons?

00:10:03.053 --> 00:10:04.904
Is it that you know how to make book covers?

00:10:04.904 --> 00:10:05.855
It doesn't matter.

00:10:05.855 --> 00:10:13.046
What do you know how to do right now that is aligned with your calling?

00:10:13.046 --> 00:10:17.104
See, you may not be able to do what you envision, yet.

00:10:17.104 --> 00:10:24.581
You may not have the skill set, you may not have the discipline, you may not have become the person who can do that, but you have become the person that could do something.

00:10:24.581 --> 00:10:26.462
Who do I connect with.

00:10:26.462 --> 00:10:31.048
Who do you know right now?

00:10:31.990 --> 00:10:46.808
I was just on a call the other day and a woman was sharing that she didn't know how to find people in her niche because her niche was so narrow and she was working with a very small demo slash psychographic of people.

00:10:46.808 --> 00:10:57.686
And she was like I've done my research, I can't really find this existing anywhere and sometimes, as a visionary, you're the one that has to lay the blueprint.

00:10:57.686 --> 00:10:59.559
But I asked her this question.

00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.600
I said well, who do you know?

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:09.825
That falls into the category of the people you're trying to serve, because I'm sure she has to know somebody.

00:11:09.825 --> 00:11:11.360
How else would she know the need?

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:17.966
Maybe it was just herself that had the need, but usually birds of a feather, the rest, flock together.

00:11:17.966 --> 00:11:19.870
Sure, she knows somebody.

00:11:19.870 --> 00:11:24.722
And she said well, yeah, yeah, I know two people.

00:11:24.722 --> 00:11:30.985
One has this problem and the other has this problem, and they both fall into the category of the people I'm trying to serve.

00:11:30.985 --> 00:11:33.894
I said great, start there.

00:11:33.894 --> 00:11:39.964
Connect with them, and I'm sure they also know two people each.

00:11:39.964 --> 00:11:44.229
Connect with them.

00:11:49.634 --> 00:11:51.017
See, I like to apply what I call the 10x rule.

00:11:51.017 --> 00:12:03.845
I want you to imagine an auditorium, an auditorium full of seats, hundreds of them, maybe even thousands, but the auditorium is empty Except for those two people.

00:12:03.845 --> 00:12:11.397
Empty except for those two people.

00:12:11.397 --> 00:12:13.139
See, the 10X rule says I want you to 10X, where you presently are mentally.

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:17.489
So if you have two people who show up to your auditorium, imagine there's 20.

00:12:17.489 --> 00:12:19.599
If you have 20 people show up, imagine there's 200.

00:12:19.599 --> 00:12:21.424
And if you have 200 showing up in your auditorium, you're doing pretty dang good.

00:12:21.424 --> 00:12:22.086
But imagine there's 2000.

00:12:22.086 --> 00:12:22.528
How would you show up?

00:12:22.528 --> 00:12:23.090
Imagine there's 200.

00:12:23.090 --> 00:12:25.096
And if you have 200 showing up in your auditorium, you're doing pretty dang good.

00:12:25.096 --> 00:12:26.278
But imagine there's 2000.

00:12:26.278 --> 00:12:31.509
How would you show up if there were 200 people in your room?

00:12:31.509 --> 00:12:34.058
That's how you show up for the 20.

00:12:34.058 --> 00:12:37.267
How would you show up for the 20 people that are in your room?

00:12:37.267 --> 00:12:38.235
20 people.

00:12:38.235 --> 00:12:48.941
Imagine 20 people sitting at a long presentation table, 20 seats full, just to hear what you have to say about a certain topic that you know is valuable to them.

00:12:48.941 --> 00:12:50.965
How would you come?

00:12:50.965 --> 00:12:53.136
I'm pretty sure you would come correct.

00:12:53.136 --> 00:13:06.349
That's how we have to show up every single time, every single week, every single month creating, contributing and connecting according to the 10x rule.

00:13:06.349 --> 00:13:13.028
That's how you master the level you are presently at, right now.

00:13:14.755 --> 00:13:23.268
Zechariah 4.10 says Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.

00:13:23.268 --> 00:13:29.460
We love to quote that verse, but lots of times small beginnings do get despised.

00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:32.947
Quite often You've been trying to do the thing.

00:13:32.947 --> 00:13:41.015
You've been posting, you've been connecting, you've been sending out emails and text messages and you feel like it's not working.

00:13:41.015 --> 00:13:44.539
Well, you're right, it's not.

00:13:44.539 --> 00:13:46.302
But that doesn't mean that you stop.

00:13:46.302 --> 00:13:48.144
It means that you improve.

00:13:48.144 --> 00:13:57.383
If there's one person coming, if there's two people, if there's three people, 10x it and contribute, connect, create.

00:13:57.383 --> 00:14:08.558
Like that 10x is in your room, master it, continue to do the thing until you don't have to think about it anymore.

00:14:08.558 --> 00:14:18.957
And if we can create, contribute and connect 10x, we will master where we presently are and become the person who can fulfill the vision at the next level with clarity.

00:14:47.250 --> 00:14:51.913
I think that's kind of what I for me, even just in my this season of my life that I have.

00:14:51.913 --> 00:14:59.782
I had I didn't put it in like those words or I didn't get it kind of in that way but I started to realize I've been speaking to me.

00:14:59.782 --> 00:15:05.995
Thank me for your neediness, thank me for your weakness, thank me that you can't do it without.

00:15:05.995 --> 00:15:07.578
So it's okay.

00:15:07.578 --> 00:15:24.197
I'm actually am like weak in this area or here, or trying to do this thing, and let me thank god because this is really where his power is, like my strength the three key points that I pointed out because the begs the question well, how do I master the level I'm at right now?

00:15:25.178 --> 00:15:31.063
And those three points are just creation, contribution and connection where you presently are.

00:15:31.063 --> 00:15:36.708
So you've got to create where you are, you've got to contribute where you are and you've got to connect where you are.

00:15:36.708 --> 00:15:40.851
And that can be tough sometimes because we're not where we want to be.

00:15:44.875 --> 00:15:57.884
And I swear to say that when you just said that, I heard vulnerability, that's what I just felt like, wow, you actually have to be open and honest, that hot, transparent where you are to walk through and get through that next step.

00:15:59.239 --> 00:16:27.700
And when it comes to us visionaries who are looking to help people whether that is help people in their walk with Christ christ, whether that is help people with their personal development, whether it's help people to launch their business or grow their business, whatever it is we have an idea of what we want to present to the world, and sometimes it can be frustrating when we aren't at the level that we want to be presenting at yet, but that comes as a part of the process where you have to master the level you are yet.

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:29.965
So create what you know how to create.

00:16:29.965 --> 00:16:31.817
Contribute what you know how to contribute.

00:16:31.917 --> 00:16:37.921
Connect with who you know who to connect with that's so good, that's just wait, that's good, right there.

00:16:37.921 --> 00:17:01.942
That's the point I gotta say because, man, this is just all good, because trying to create something at a level you're not at, I feel like not only will people not be able to connect because it's not authentic, but it's also could be so wrong because you never even been to that level and you're trying to operate in it and it's exactly you can lead people wrong until you, until you like.

00:17:02.101 --> 00:17:22.941
Oh, I actually been here I actually understand it 100, 100 and that's part of the reason why lots of coaches are getting bad reps these days, because lots of them are trying to sell something or teach something or counsel people on something that they have not actually done or haven't actually experienced or been through.

00:17:22.941 --> 00:17:28.152
But where you can add the most value to people is with what you do.

00:17:28.152 --> 00:17:37.519
You know what you can contribute, and that has to do with a lot of the strongholds that the enemy tries to put up in our minds oh, this isn't valuable.

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:39.183
Why would anybody even want this?

00:17:39.183 --> 00:17:41.597
You need to be here before you even start talking about this.

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:48.352
You need to do all that, yeah and it's and honestly, you know how it kind of feels like the enemy can't get in front of you.

00:17:48.352 --> 00:17:50.557
He get behind you, try to push you, or vice versa.

00:17:50.557 --> 00:18:02.857
So I feel like even today, like I'm, like I'm on work, but I'll thank god, like even the job that I have, where I'm able to be at work but still work on the things he needs me to.

00:18:02.857 --> 00:18:05.556
So I'm already trying to prep my mind.

00:18:05.556 --> 00:18:08.201
Okay, daniel, like it's, really like you.

00:18:08.201 --> 00:18:10.267
I have like all the ingredients.

00:18:10.267 --> 00:18:12.518
I just need to put the cake together at this point.

00:18:13.118 --> 00:18:18.570
But I feel like I have sat back for so long.

00:18:18.570 --> 00:18:29.403
I've sat and observed and watch other people, and even to the point where it where it kept me from not doing what I need to do, because I'm like, ooh, I don't want to be like them.

00:18:29.403 --> 00:18:32.859
Ooh, I see things, and so my mind is okay.

00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:38.921
Until you master this, then you can present your product, then you can come out with the podcast.

00:18:38.921 --> 00:18:44.865
But if you don't want to be one of them, people, I feel like that's in the way how the enemy has played on my mind.

00:18:44.865 --> 00:18:49.800
But what you're saying is no, master, where you at, and I have been looked at.

00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:51.280
I'm just looking at where I'm at.

00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:54.781
No, I just need to get to the next level, not like where I'm at.

00:18:54.781 --> 00:18:56.882
Was it a song or something?

00:18:56.882 --> 00:18:58.616
Maybe it was in worship.

00:18:58.616 --> 00:18:59.919
No, I think it's.

00:18:59.919 --> 00:19:12.198
Maybe Dr V just saying what you would maybe easy to you is hard to somebody else, and you know how to get that.

00:19:12.198 --> 00:19:13.521
It could be simply helping somebody with prayers.

00:19:13.541 --> 00:19:24.881
Oh okay, I know that, but I'm looking at it Like it's not that valuable to me, you know not that it's not valuable, but it's just I think it was just on the in the MMA like that video just kind of shifted my perspective.

00:19:24.881 --> 00:19:28.625
No, it's still value to somebody else, just because you've mastered it.

00:19:28.625 --> 00:19:35.707
And so I haven't been looking at that, I haven't been looking at myself like that or with anything, with launching anything.

00:19:35.707 --> 00:19:38.463
I just been like no, I need to get to the next level.

00:19:38.595 --> 00:19:52.940
So I've been like at a standstill, no, I don't, don't put it together yet, no, don't talk it yet, like yep that just was freeing kind of way, as you were just saying that, because I feel like that's how the enemy you've been playing on my mind.

00:19:52.940 --> 00:19:56.307
It's not even that I know that I have it, but it's just.

00:19:56.307 --> 00:20:02.042
Yeah, I haven't looked at my the level I'm at now 100.

00:20:02.503 --> 00:20:10.305
Yeah, man, that's something that that plagued me for a long time, and the sad part is I've gone through multiple cycles of that.

00:20:10.305 --> 00:20:19.008
I said, oh, nobody's gonna do this, blah blah, and two people bought my, my, my high ticket course and I was like, oh my gosh, people actually want to.

00:20:19.008 --> 00:20:20.238
And then I still did it again.

00:20:20.238 --> 00:20:21.201
Oh, no one would do this.

00:20:21.201 --> 00:20:22.785
And someone bought that.

00:20:22.785 --> 00:20:23.976
And then I've also failed.

00:20:23.976 --> 00:20:27.144
I've also tried to operate at levels that I wasn't at yet.

00:20:27.144 --> 00:20:28.666
I tried to make a continuity program.

00:20:28.666 --> 00:20:29.115
It failed.

00:20:29.115 --> 00:20:40.782
And that's part of the iteration of what Visionpreneur School is now from me failing and I'm building skills that will help me get to the next level.

00:20:40.782 --> 00:20:57.161
And here's the thing we see people like Myron Golden or Omar El-Takori, who have relatively quickly built YouTube channels, podcasts that are doing very well and very successful.

00:20:57.161 --> 00:21:16.364
But what we don't see is that Myron Golden was doing Bible studies for 13 years and was a senior pastor of multiple churches for over 30 years before he started growing an audience on YouTube.

00:21:16.364 --> 00:21:21.561
He had mastered effective communication.

00:21:21.561 --> 00:21:26.752
He had mastered breaking down the Bible in digestible ways.

00:21:26.752 --> 00:21:33.431
He had mastered making offers as a salesman because he sold insurance.

00:21:33.431 --> 00:22:01.664
For how many decades we're seeing the final result of a stack of mastery thinking that we can operate at that level when we are just getting started on our journey and we spend cycles and years and years feeling confused, overwhelmed and like we're coming short because we're trying to operate with a lack of clarity, because we are not mastered.

00:22:01.664 --> 00:22:09.442
The level we are at right now and that's why I so encourage people to this is the spot that I'm in right now.

00:22:10.009 --> 00:22:11.958
Get the podcast launched.

00:22:11.958 --> 00:22:13.856
Get the podcast published.

00:22:13.856 --> 00:22:16.017
Start creating episodes.

00:22:16.017 --> 00:22:20.536
Develop the mastery of speaking now.

00:22:20.536 --> 00:22:23.531
Develop the mastery of creating topics now create.

00:22:23.531 --> 00:22:25.941
Develop the mastery of making a web page now.

00:22:25.941 --> 00:22:28.769
Develop the mastery of making a lead magnet now.

00:22:28.769 --> 00:22:37.999
Develop the mastery of making an offer now, because it takes time and even how.

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:58.369
You just said that like I mean too, you know, like, and I know it's not sometimes in my mind I'm like, wait, but I have done a lot of things in private too as well, and it's even I know I can probably convince myself that nobody would tune in, but I say not, it's basically fine.

00:22:58.369 --> 00:23:01.662
Some of my friends is like, hey, what's up with.

00:23:01.662 --> 00:23:04.298
We need to get back on that prayer line or I've.

00:23:04.298 --> 00:23:14.412
I've done so many bible studies and connect groups and small groups and women and they like, when we get together and I'm like, huh, I've been kind of like running from it.

00:23:14.412 --> 00:23:15.133
I've done this.

00:23:15.133 --> 00:23:18.520
Like this is on the back end, like even the prayer book that I wrote.

00:23:20.265 --> 00:23:23.134
I'm like, yeah, like I'm trying to be so.

00:23:23.134 --> 00:23:32.979
I don't even know if it's like ability winning, because I'm like it's just for us, the girls, and it was, it was 15 of us.

00:23:32.979 --> 00:23:38.316
Like I put our pictures in it and then my mom had came and she picked it up and she was like, damn, what's this?

00:23:38.316 --> 00:23:41.070
I was like, oh, this for the.

00:23:41.070 --> 00:23:42.173
This was my prayer group.

00:23:42.173 --> 00:23:46.951
That like when god told me to do and this and that, and it was in this lady at my job.

00:23:46.951 --> 00:23:48.277
She was like can I buy this?

00:23:48.277 --> 00:23:51.066
Like I want to do this with me and my like friends.

00:23:51.066 --> 00:23:55.356
I'm like nah, I was like not yet, like maybe I will, but it's just.

00:23:55.356 --> 00:24:03.717
And I was like I feel like to the point where I'm like so full with things, like I'm like busting and overflowing, not even in a good way.

00:24:03.717 --> 00:24:15.872
It's like this needs to come out, like things need to really be launched, like books and these just the just doing the podcast, like getting the community back together.

00:24:15.872 --> 00:24:21.619
If we go to the girls, like we go to conferences together, I always organize that, all those things.

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:31.632
So it's like I already know, even if the enemy would try to make me think that nobody would tune in, I already know that it's people really waiting for me to tune in.

00:24:31.632 --> 00:24:38.054
And I'm not saying that even like I'm not even trying to smile, because this, wow, is really not even about me at this point.

00:24:38.796 --> 00:24:50.056
And I remember one time we're doing a podcast, when I had the podcast and I stopped, I slowed down a little bit and I remember somebody was like, when we get an example, so let me.

00:24:50.056 --> 00:24:55.637
And I kind of it was in my mom, so she was one of them and I snapped on her because I was like already stressed of them.

00:24:55.637 --> 00:24:58.715
I'm like, mom, leave me alone, it'll come out when it come out.

00:24:58.715 --> 00:25:02.915
And then the Lord was like, so you're going to make my people big?

00:25:02.915 --> 00:25:15.417
And I like sat there and felt so, oh my gosh, it's really not about me, it's just the words that God has put inside of me and they need it, and it's you're getting away that for all different reasons.

00:25:15.417 --> 00:25:22.633
So it's just even now, as you're saying, do it now.

00:25:22.633 --> 00:25:24.700
It's so many people that's at my level I know I can connect with right now.

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:30.638
So I don't know why I'm like it's just the mindset of continually getting past my own insecurities.

00:25:30.638 --> 00:25:31.059
Mom.

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:32.765
Okay, here we go.

00:25:32.765 --> 00:25:34.449
Gotta be back vulnerable again.

00:25:34.449 --> 00:25:41.894
But I have learned with leading groups and stuff that people connect with that vulnerability like they do.

00:25:41.894 --> 00:25:51.076
So I'm definitely receiving everything that you're saying and just kind of even reminding me of, because I know this, I know I need to do this.

00:25:51.076 --> 00:25:57.638
I've like said these cycles I've had to do a year after year and I'm like I don't want to, I don't want to get the girls.

00:25:57.638 --> 00:26:01.517
I don't, I didn't want to, but it's just because I knew I would have to be vulnerable.

00:26:01.517 --> 00:26:03.589
It's not even that I didn't want to do it to help them.

00:26:03.589 --> 00:26:05.074
It's just like I gotta be the one.

00:26:05.074 --> 00:26:14.700
But let's just be wrestling with God so I hope you enjoyed that episode.

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:21.058
I I know I was able to relate with Danielle in so many ways and I think you would be able to as well.

00:26:21.058 --> 00:26:27.239
Look, we have those three areas that we have to lean into Creation, contribution and connection.

00:26:27.239 --> 00:26:35.734
On the level we are at presently, god has us on a journey and we are able to contribute, we are able to create, we are able to connect wherever.

00:26:35.734 --> 00:26:40.056
We are Not waiting for the next moment to get to the next level or whatever it is Now.

00:26:40.056 --> 00:26:42.621
Of course, we don't need to do everything right now.

00:26:42.621 --> 00:26:51.320
For everything there is a season, right, but we can do with what we do have right in front of us.

00:26:52.021 --> 00:27:07.226
That doesn't mean that we have to sit on the sidelines and not contribute to what God has given us today, and that's okay if it doesn't look like what we thought it was going to look like, because ultimately, he is in control.

00:27:07.226 --> 00:27:11.201
So we're going to work like it's up to us and pray like it's up to God.

00:27:11.201 --> 00:27:12.994
I hope this was helpful to you.

00:27:12.994 --> 00:27:14.490
I'll see you in the next episode.

00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:18.681
As always, keep building your vision every single day.

00:27:18.681 --> 00:27:19.990
Peace you.
