1
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,320
Father, we do thank you for the 
opportunity just once a month to

2
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,440
come together and and take a 
look at some things as we're 

3
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,920
getting ready to, you know, wrap
up another year, which seems 

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,520
gone by quickly. 
But we want to make sure that, 

5
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,200
you know, we're bringing the 
value that you want to add to 

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,160
our time together through the 
things that we talked about. 

7
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,600
I'm excited about tonight's 
topic and how we're going to, 

8
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,360
you know, define that for each 
of us and and spend some time 

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,520
there. 
So we just want to praise you in

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,400
advance for the outcome of what 
we'll be visiting about. 

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,040
And we thank you and praise you 
for the opportunity again to get

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,440
together. 
And we thank you in Jesus name, 

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,040
Amen. 
Amen. 

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Well, I want to remind you that 
tonight we're going to be 

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,560
talking about 2-2 words. 
And I've got it titled vision 

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,519
plus mission equals the road map
to your destiny. 

17
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:10,160
OK, Vision plus mission, is that
your road map to destiny? 

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,240
And I want to start with jot 
down Psalms 127 Psalms 127 one 

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
first scripture. 
All right, and I I thought it 

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,880
was interesting. 
Anybody know it by heart? 

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Anybody know that one by heart? 
Psalms 127 It said except the 

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Lord build the house, they labor
in vain that build it. 

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,440
And so when we talk about, you 
know, vision, you know, I want 

24
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440
us to make sure we know where 
we're getting our vision from 

25
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
and not just something that 
we're coming up with with our 

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,040
own head. 
OK? 

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,400
Because we've had enough 
teaching here at Anchor Faith to

28
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,160
let us know that we were all 
born with a purpose and that God

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,680
does have something each of us 
that he wants to accomplish, not

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640
in the not only in the natural 
realm, but in the spiritual 

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,960
realm, OK. 
And changing the lives of 

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,720
people. 
But when we talk about the word 

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,720
vision and, and in the words 
vision and mission are really 

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,039
big buzzwords in, in business 
and sometimes a little bit 

35
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,000
higher up than maybe your 
personal owned business. 

36
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,640
A lot of corporations want to 
have a vision and there's 

37
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:20,040
reasons that they have it. 
But I want to break down those 2

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,040
words tonight, if we can, that 
when we talk about vision, the 

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,040
first question I always ask is 
what does the word vision mean? 

40
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Jot that down. 
What does vision mean? 

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680
Because when we talk about 
vision, there's a lot of 

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,600
different definitions that we 
can. 

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,320
I've got three or four of them 
down here. 

44
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,960
You know, the first one is the 
act or the power of using your 

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,760
eyes or the word sight. 
OK, what is vision? 

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,960
It is, it is sight and it and it
deals with the two eyes God gave

47
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,240
us all right to be able to see. 
OK. 

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,480
The second definition that I've 
got is an act or a power of 

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,080
anticipating that which will or 
come to be or a prophetic 

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,520
vision. 
OK. 

51
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,880
It's not so much we've heard 
about visions in the Bible that 

52
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,800
different ministers had, you 
know, different prophets, 

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,200
different ones would have 
visions. 

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760
They would see things. 
We've heard, you know, Apostle 

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Earl, when he talked about the 
vision that he had when he was 

56
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,360
driving his little truck and he 
and he said the windshield went 

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,840
away and he saw a vision of him 
standing before people. 

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,640
OK. 
It didn't actually, it wasn't 

59
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,240
really stopping the car and 
looking out at that. 

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840
It was, it was a vision, but it 
was seen with something 

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,240
different than the natural eyes.
OK, so that's another 

62
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,040
definition. 1/3 definition is an
experience which a person, a 

63
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,400
thing, or an event appears 
vividly to the mind, although 

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,600
may not actually be present, 
often under the influence of a 

65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,760
divine agency, like a heavenly 
messenger appearing in a vision.

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,320
We see that all through the 
Bible, OK, that the heavenly 

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,120
messer came and, and began to 
talk to people and began to put 

68
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,760
an impression in their mind, 
just like your eyesight does. 

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760
And when they visited, if you 
think about it, you know, if 

70
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,640
you'll remember in Judges, I 
believe 6, it talks about 

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,000
Gideon. 
And you know, Gideon is, they 

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,480
said the Midianites are all over
the place and he's, you know, 

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,120
hidden down in a winepress 
winnowing wheat because they 

74
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,920
were stealing everything that 
they had. 

75
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,840
And an Angel appeared to him and
called him a mighty man of 

76
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:28,000
valor. 
OK, so the vision he was trying 

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,880
to put into Gideon was the one 
of what he could be and one he's

78
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400
destined to be and not 
necessarily is at this moment. 

79
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400
OK, All right. 
And then the last one that I 

80
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,720
have is something seen or 
otherwise perceived during a 

81
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,640
such the experience, like the 
vision revealed its message. 

82
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,840
OK. 
So in other words, when he told 

83
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,360
him, hey, you're great, a great 
man of valor, mighty man of 

84
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,280
valor, you know, he had to 
receive that message and he had 

85
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:59,160
to began to begin to take and 
see himself in that vision, even

86
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,920
though it was it hadn't come to 
pass. 

87
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,760
There's nothing tangible out 
there to, to to do it, which we 

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,480
find when we talk about vision, 
There needs to be an 

89
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,560
understanding that there is the 
vision that we see, but there's 

90
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,080
also a vision that can be seen 
in the spirit, in our spirit 

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,080
man, where we want things to go.
I think it's interesting because

92
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,480
we talk in some of the classes 
that I teach on death and 

93
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,040
getting an understanding of the 
definition of the word death, 

94
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,040
that the word death means 
separation. 

95
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,800
All right. 
When God told Adam, don't eat of

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,040
the fruit of the tree on in the 
middle of the garden, the day 

97
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,640
you eat it, you will surely die.
We have no record that they even

98
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,200
understood what that word meant.
It wasn't like, you know, he, he

99
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,640
sat down and sat him down and 
explained to him, when you die, 

100
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960
this is what happens. 
We have no record of that. 

101
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,480
We just let him know, don't eat 
the fruit. 

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,040
The day you eat it, you will 
surely die. 

103
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,880
Well, we know he ate the fruit, 
but the first death that we 

104
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,600
thought should happen was that 
he would die physically, but he 

105
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,200
didn't. 
So there was another death that 

106
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,880
he was talking about because he 
lived to be, according to 

107
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,840
Genesis 5, five, 930 years old. 
After that time, to me, that's 

108
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,560
when time started, when we 
wanted to look at a clock in a 

109
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,240
day and a year and a month and 
and years after that. 

110
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,120
That was after the fall. 
There was no time, I don't 

111
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,280
believe before the fall. 
It was just we use in eternity 

112
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,640
and here we go. 
So we had an interruption. 

113
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,080
But The thing is, is 
understanding that he was 

114
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,120
talking about a spiritual death,
not a physical death. 

115
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,040
Physical death did come 
eventually, 930 years later for 

116
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680
him, all right. 
But when we talk about, you 

117
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,360
know, the vision now from the 
above definitions, I think that 

118
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,000
we need to realize the majority 
of the visions in our lives 

119
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,480
probably should not just come 
from our intellect, OK, or the 

120
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,080
five physical senses, because we
get a lot of teaching on faith 

121
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,120
to let us know there's something
that can be seen beyond what we 

122
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,400
can see with our natural eyes. 
OK, One of the greatest 

123
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,360
definitions I'd heard and and 
I'd heard, I heard one of the 

124
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,840
minister say this and kind of 
got me, OK. 

125
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:10,800
He said, you know, the opposite 
of faith is not fear. 

126
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:19,080
The opposite of faith is sight. 
Cause what does Hebrews 11/1 

127
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,320
say? 
Hebrews 11/1 said that is the 

128
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,280
substance of things hoped for 
and the evidence of things not 

129
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,080
seen. 
So it is something all right. 

130
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,960
And, and, and as we were going 
through some classes just 

131
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,640
recently, I, I let them know you
can take the word faith and 

132
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,400
replace it with quote the word 
of God. 

133
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,800
So every place that you see the 
word faith, if you'll just 

134
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,200
replace it with the word of God.
The word of God has the ability 

135
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,040
to not only let you see a vision
of what is possible, but can't 

136
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,640
bring that vision to pass. 
All right, 'cause that's the 

137
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,920
goal. 
I mean, and the goal is once you

138
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,080
have a vision of something from 
the word and, and in the, in the

139
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Greek it is apocalyptus, which 
means a revealing or removing of

140
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,200
the curtain so that you can 
actually see it. 

141
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,200
But you, you didn't know it was 
out there until they removed the

142
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,520
curtain. 
That's what revelation is. 

143
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,960
That is the word for revelation.
OK, so when we see that it said,

144
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,280
you know, for us as believers, 
the vision needs to come, and 

145
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720
this is the key, write this 
down, is that when we talk about

146
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,520
vision, OK, for our families, 
for our life, for our business, 

147
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,280
that vision really needs to come
from God. 

148
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,080
That's why I started with that 
verse. 

149
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,160
You know, except the Lord build 
a house, they labor in vain that

150
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,720
build it. 
OK? 

151
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,360
So the plans and the visions of 
what this thing will look like 

152
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,920
needs to come from the Lord and 
you need to spend enough time 

153
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,320
with the Lord to make sure that 
you've got the accurate, 

154
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:04,560
accurate picture. 
Now we talk a lot about vision 

155
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:08,080
here, OK, that the vision of our
church and, and most of y'all 

156
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,280
should have it memorized. 
All right, because I want to 

157
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,600
break it down and, and, and take
a look at that. 

158
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,000
You know, every vision that you 
have for your business or your 

159
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,040
family, it can it should be able
to paint a picture of what it 

160
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,400
could look like. 
OK, does that make sense? 

161
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,840
Is that if you have a vision of,
you know, your your kids obeying

162
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,280
you have a vision of, you know, 
your marriage flourishing. 

163
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,960
If you have a vision of the fact
that, hey, that your business is

164
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,800
is is moving along the road of 
prosperity. 

165
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,640
All right, as we have defined so
many time is having help on the 

166
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,040
road. 
If you're seeing your you, you 

167
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,200
can see and visualize those 
things. 

168
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,840
All right. 
When you go to the Lord, you 

169
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,440
know he's, he wants to put it 
into reality for you. 

170
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,040
He wants to bring it into the 
context of being able to contact

171
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,200
it with your 5 physical senses. 
I mean, if you think about it, 

172
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,360
we're not just have visions and 
and stuff, imagination and stuff

173
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,560
in our head not to see it come 
to pass in our lives. 

174
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,800
That's never a biblical 
principle. 

175
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,680
OK, so let's take a look at the 
the church. 

176
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,720
All right, I'm going to ask some
questions. 

177
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,800
All right, and about this 
because we're going to talk. 

178
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,440
The first one is what what is 
the first first vision of our 

179
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:34,400
church starts with an I Yeah. 
Ignite the city. 

180
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,680
OK, here's here's question 
number one. 

181
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,840
We need to think about what does
igniting the city look like? 

182
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,480
What picture of this element can
we paint? 

183
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Because here's the deal. 
If you've got a vision and you 

184
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,200
can't articulate the vision in 
something that people will be 

185
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,760
able to form a picture of, 
you're going to be in trouble. 

186
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,520
Because if you, if you remember,
I think I did a teaching on 

187
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,520
communication and I gave you the
definition of the communication 

188
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,720
was basically the first part of 
it was the ability to paint 

189
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,520
pictures in the mind that brings
clarity to what we're discussing

190
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,560
and will give us a desired 
result. 

191
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,880
If we're at work and we're just,
you know, talking to people and 

192
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,200
whatever and the end product 
that comes down the line is not 

193
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,640
what the vision painted. 
We're in trouble. 

194
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,600
So we want to know what is it 
that we can paint in a picture 

195
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,360
of what igniting the city? 
See it say I the third one, I 

196
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,280
said, how do we know if we're 
accomplishing it? 

197
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,560
I mean, you may have, you may 
have a, you may have a great 

198
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,360
vision of what you're doing. 
But the, the fact of the matter 

199
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,840
is in order to prove that we 
have a vision for what we're 

200
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,240
doing, there has got to be a 
manifestation of something that 

201
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,440
brings credence to what you saw.
It's just like a word of 

202
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,080
prophecy. 
It's like a word of knowledge. 

203
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,920
You know, I've had people come 
up and give me some of the 

204
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,440
strangest stuff, you know, and I
knew right out of the gate that 

205
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
that's just an emotion talking. 
But you know, there's been 

206
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,120
people that have have given me a
word or the Lord had a word for 

207
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,160
you, or I got called out of the 
service to get a word and it was

208
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160
right on, you know, I was 
sharing. 

209
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,360
I guess it was maybe with you, 
you know, when in back in 80? 

210
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,480
No, it was 80 back in 2008, OK, 
it was our four year anniversary

211
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,920
and we flew down here. 
Melanie and I did. 

212
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,720
We hadn't, you know, I, you 
know, Lord started dealing with 

213
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,240
me on some stuff and, and I 
didn't tell her about it. 

214
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,720
I didn't tell Pastor David in 
Oklahoma about it. 

215
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,560
But the Lord started talking to 
me about moving down here and I 

216
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,760
thought he was talking to 
somebody else because I was not 

217
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,560
paying attention. 
All right? 

218
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:52,080
I just kind of like looking 
around. 

219
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,280
Who could he be talking to you? 
I'm not, that's not me, you 

220
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,200
know, about moving down here. 
Well, when, you know, he kept on

221
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,040
me about it and I still didn't 
say anything. 

222
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,400
And we go to this meeting and 
we're over at 312. 

223
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,520
And, and, and Kevin and Annie 
Durant were the guest speakers 

224
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,920
at that time. 
And they had a word for Pastor 

225
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,520
Earl. 
And that's rare. 

226
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,080
I mean, how many guest speakers 
that we had that they called, 

227
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720
you know, we've had a few. 
But, you know, it's not like 

228
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,280
every time they come, they have 
a word for him. 

229
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400
And so anyway, he gets up and 
starts, you know, speaking in 

230
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,120
tongues over Pastor Earl and 
he's, and he lays his hands, 

231
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,680
well, his wife Annie, and 
they're all Raymograds. 

232
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,680
And Annie starts interpreting. 
And that's where we get the 

233
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,720
prophecy that Pastor reads often
about, you know, it's going to 

234
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,360
it's going to take you don't 
have 20 years to build it was 

235
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,200
one of them. 
And he said, you'll think see 

236
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,280
things springing up and the word
exponential was in there and all

237
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,360
the different things. 
Well, I was and I'm watching 

238
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,280
him. 
I'm on the front row. 

239
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,000
He said, Randy, you and Melanie 
are sitting on the front row. 

240
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,400
I said, OK, and so he's down at 
the other end. 

241
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,680
I'm at one end. 
He's at the other end and he's 

242
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,920
on his knees and getting prayed 
for and just falls over. 

243
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,680
And, and my thought was get him,
Holy Ghost, get him. 

244
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,160
That's what I was saying to 
myself. 

245
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,160
And I was watching him, you 
know, because Amanda, you know, 

246
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,880
I don't know, with all that was 
going on, he'd start levitating 

247
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480
or something. 
I, I was, you know, like, wow. 

248
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,200
And, and, and so I would, I 
would, he yelled at him, you 

249
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920
know, the minister yelled at him
and said everything I've said 

250
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,200
double and he said double. 
And he comes walking, you know, 

251
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,120
he's walking back and forth and 
I'm watching, I'm watching him 

252
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,640
like a hawk. 
He's laid out there and I'm 

253
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,800
wondering, oh man, you know, 
this is quite the word. 

254
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,560
And I just turned up to see, you
know, what was going on and and 

255
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Kevin's standing right in front 
of me and he says, as he said, 

256
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,440
it's about time, isn't it? 
Whap And just slapped me right 

257
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,280
in the bald head. 
And he began to prophecy. 

258
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Well, his wife comes up and she 
goes first thing out of her 

259
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,080
mouth. 
It's time to move. 

260
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Oh my gosh. 
You know, and, and I'd already 

261
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,160
created the vision of what 
moving it looked like, and it 

262
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,240
wasn't a pleasant vision, OK. 
It's like, I got this business 

263
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,800
in Oklahoma. 
I've got this house that isn't 

264
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
that old, you know, it's a big 
house. 

265
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,720
And, you know, we got to sell 
that, you know, what's going to 

266
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,040
happen to the inlaws, You know, 
the whole bit. 

267
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,600
I mean, all that presentation 
was going through my mind like, 

268
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,120
you know, and it was so funny. 
After the service, they were 

269
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,360
trying to interpret the 
interpretation for me. 

270
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,240
And I already knew. 
I already knew what what was 

271
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,200
coming down. 
I said, Oh my gosh, you know, 

272
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,160
And Melanie goes that was an 
interesting. 

273
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,400
That was an interesting, yeah, 
yeah, it was interesting, you 

274
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,400
know, and I knew, you know, I 
knew. 

275
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,160
So, you know, being able to, you
know, take a look and said, how 

276
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,760
do we know we're accomplishing 
this? 

277
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,680
OK. 
You know, she says it's time to 

278
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,520
move. 
And then that's really when I 

279
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,320
submitted to, OK, I've got to 
follow your leading because 

280
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,960
there are way too many things 
that I'm going to be involved in

281
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,680
here now that I'm not real 
comfortable with, OK. 

282
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,800
And it took us a year and one 
month to move down here. 

283
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,640
And, and I was frustrated all 12
months because I thought, how 

284
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,480
come it hadn't happened? 
How come it hadn't happened? 

285
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,640
This was a vision. 
Lord, you had somebody get up 

286
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,040
there, slap me in the head and 
tell me about it. 

287
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,080
I said, just what are we going 
to do? 

288
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
You know? 
And and but it was so funny 

289
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,080
because we were having dinner 
one night with a couple and I 

290
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,000
just I, I was sitting there 
telling them. 

291
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,760
They said, well, tell us, tell 
us the story of, you know, how 

292
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,920
you do. 
The Lord wanted you to come down

293
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,880
there. 
And I was telling the story and 

294
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,920
all of a sudden I started crying
and Melanie was going, what's 

295
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,160
the matter? 
I go. 

296
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,160
And this is after we'd moved 
down here, OK? 

297
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,880
They wanted to hear the story. 
I said, May, we got down here 

298
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320
the first week of May. 
Do you remember that? 

299
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,200
I said it seemed like everything
that has ever happened to us 

300
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,040
substantially to this point has 
been in the month of May Josh 

301
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:01,240
moved down here in April to be 
here May 1st in 2006, you know, 

302
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,440
to start what he had for the 
Lord, for him. 

303
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,839
And then I said we struggled to 
get here. 

304
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,079
Pastor keeps asking, what's the 
deal, man? 

305
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,760
I said, well, one, our house 
hadn't sold and we moved down 

306
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,520
here without the house being 
sold and didn't sell for another

307
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:22,800
five years. 
So, you know, I didn't envision 

308
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,880
that. 
OK, you're thinking, oh, it's 

309
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,160
all going to be no, no, no, no. 
There. 

310
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,120
Sometimes when you're doing the 
will of God, there comes things 

311
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:33,440
that you, you know, attack the 
vision and you got to be real 

312
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,960
careful. 
All right, let's talk about 

313
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:41,160
what's the next one. 
Starts with an I impact the 

314
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,160
nation. 
Let's ask some questions. 

315
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,920
How about the same ones? 
What does impact in the nation 

316
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,760
look like? 
I mean, we're talking about 

317
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,760
vision. 
What does it look like? 

318
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,840
How about what picture of this 
element can we paint? 

319
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,560
All right. 
And said, how do we know we're 

320
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,320
accomplishing it? 
Don't worry, I won't leave you 

321
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,000
hanging. 
We do have answers to these 

322
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800
questions. 
OK, what's the next one? 

323
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,160
Number three is the world 
influence the world? 

324
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,800
All right, What does influence 
in the world look like? 

325
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,960
What picture of this element can
we print or paint or print? 

326
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,560
Hey, how do we know we're 
accomplishing it? 

327
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,360
See with every vision, those 
three questions. 

328
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,240
Any vision, your vision, My 
vision, business vision. 

329
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,400
OK, we need to ask those three 
questions. 

330
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,120
You know, what does the vision 
of this company look like? 

331
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,840
What does you know, what picture
can we paint to give you an 

332
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,800
idea? 
This is how we do it. 

333
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,200
All right, Because, you know, 
most people, they'll start a 

334
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,360
business, company ministry 
without being able to paint the 

335
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,160
full picture of what their 
journey should actually look 

336
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,680
like. 
Here's a here's a here's a 

337
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,280
point. 
There are a few common reasons 

338
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,760
why people want to start their 
own business organization. 

339
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,920
I got 5 here. 
Let's see if you can get any of 

340
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,320
them. 
Why do people want to start 

341
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,920
their own business or their 
organization? 

342
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,080
Give me, give me something to 
make more money. 

343
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:21,520
Let me see what number that was.
That's number four #4 give me 

344
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,720
one Gina. 
Hello. 

345
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:32,920
Let's see, where did I have that
number 5? 

346
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,200
Yeah, mine says this. 
It says just simply a tired of 

347
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,880
working for the other guy. 
They want to be their own boss. 

348
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:47,120
OK, give me another one. 
Yeah. 

349
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,120
Yeah, we we could do that one. 
I have one down here. 

350
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,880
Huh. 
Time management. 

351
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:57,080
I don't know. 
That would be unless your job is

352
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,120
taking you out of what you want 
to really do. 

353
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:00,720
OK, but here, how about this 
one? 

354
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,040
They don't like their current 
employment. 

355
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,200
They hate their job, which blows
my mind because I can't even 

356
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,640
imagine working at a place that 
I didn't like, because what does

357
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,160
that tell you? 
If you're working at a place 

358
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,640
that you didn't like, what are 
you there for? 

359
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Just the money. 
That's it. 

360
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,360
The paycheck, that's it. 
All right, So I don't want to be

361
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:28,440
that miserable for the money. 
I mean, you know, you're paying 

362
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,240
me to be miserable. 
Doesn't make sense to me. 

363
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,200
OK, here's number 2. 
They they don't like their 

364
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,480
bosses. 
They're superior. 

365
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,720
Yeah. 
All right. 

366
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,800
Don't like, don't like, don't 
not out loud. 

367
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,400
OK, the bosses are free. 
You just don't like not, not 

368
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,080
much less the company, but those
that you're working with, even 

369
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,880
even Co workers is another one. 
All right, how about this one? 

370
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,320
They don't like the products 
they are selling and they think 

371
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,960
they can make them better. 
Now, I can't tell you how many 

372
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,320
people I've talked to about 
that. 

373
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,920
You know, they said we found out
how much it cost to make the 

374
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,120
product and we think we can make
it and we can make it better and

375
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:08,120
for less money and charge less 
money. 

376
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,160
Have a seat. 
We sit down. 

377
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,120
I said, OK. 
I said let me talk to you about 

378
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,000
the cost of producing something 
because in your mind, all you're

379
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,920
thinking is the cost of the 
products. 

380
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,680
You're not thinking about the 
phone bill, you're not thinking 

381
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,760
about the electric bill. 
You're not thinking about are 

382
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,240
you going to do this all on your
own? 

383
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Because that product is not a 
one man show. 

384
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:37,240
All right, So you are, you know,
you're, you're trying to create 

385
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,720
a vision where you can do 
something different. 

386
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,280
But you know, with the taxes, 
with everything involved, there 

387
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000
may be a reason that they came 
up with that price point. 

388
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,400
And just because you think you 
can do it, you know, cheaper and

389
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,920
better may not be the truth. 
It's a myth. 

390
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,520
So you want to make sure that 
you're not, you know, you're not

391
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,440
part of that because we're going
to talk about myths here in a 

392
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,200
second. 
All right, how about this one? 

393
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,720
Let's see. 
They want to do it better. 

394
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,240
They want to do it cheaper, and 
they're just tired of working 

395
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,960
for the other guy. 
Any, any other ones? 

396
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,960
Those were my 5, huh? 
You said that Miss Dorothy said 

397
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,920
something there, there there is 
something that you like doing 

398
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,200
and you may have figured out how
to make money on it. 

399
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,640
OK. 
Which a lot of people do. 

400
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,040
They get a trade and they become
very good at it and they can 

401
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,040
turn that into a money making 
opportunity. 

402
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,960
All right. 
And depending on a skill, you 

403
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,480
know, very few people that I've,
you know, ever seen that have 

404
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,600
come up with a product. 
I came up, I told the kids the 

405
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,840
other day, I said, I don't know 
if you guys have ever seen this.

406
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,040
They have a dog, OK. 
And now that rubber gloves have 

407
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,240
been invented, you can pick up 
dog stuff, you know, with the 

408
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,720
rubber glove and put it in the 
trash. 

409
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,480
But before rubber gloves were 
invented, I invented something 

410
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,000
in junior high called the pooper
scooper. 

411
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,240
And they go, you did. 
I said yeah, and didn't do 

412
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,560
nothing with it, but I made one 
in metal shop. 

413
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,000
This is around 19, probably 
7234. 

414
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080
And I had, you know, created 
this thing. 

415
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,200
It had two little shovels on the
on the on the front and it 

416
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,200
looked like a not like a pair of
scissors. 

417
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,160
It had another layer. 
So it was kind of like an 

418
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,520
accordion, but it was made out 
of steel. 

419
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000
I formed it in the forge. 
I bend it, I made it, I attached

420
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
everything. 
And when my dad said you need to

421
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,440
get out there and get that stuff
picked up, I went out there with

422
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,400
that thing and it was a breeze. 
Well, you know, there's 19,000 

423
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,200
versions of that now. 
I mean, now someone, we got a 

424
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,440
little broom, you know, that is 
attached to the, you know, for 

425
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,920
the, for, for, for that. 
And I said never did anything 

426
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,360
with it. 
But what, you know, I had a 

427
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:44,760
buddy, he, he one time he said, 
listen, he said, I am tired of 

428
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,360
leaving Coke in the fridge and 
it, you know, losing its fizz. 

429
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,560
I said, well, that man, that's, 
that's kind of like life, right?

430
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,120
I mean, that's just what 
happened. 

431
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,080
And so he started doing testing 
in his garage, trying to find 

432
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,120
out why these caps won't hold on
to it enough to the fist. 

433
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:11,040
So he made a little screw on cap
with a pump, pumped air into it,

434
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,040
let it sit for two weeks and 
came back and he said it was 

435
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,800
perfect. 
The the Coke tasted exactly the 

436
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,160
same. 
And I said that makes sense 

437
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,080
because what is the physics 
coming out? 

438
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,920
So it's leaking out somewhere, 
but what you've done is 

439
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,400
pressurized it so it can't come 
out. 

440
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,920
He says I ought to do something 
with that. 

441
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,960
Well, he waited long enough. 
Somebody did, but it wasn't him.

442
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,800
And you see it, you know, it was
hanging on the hanging on the 

443
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,680
the shelf at next to the 
register at Walmart, right? 

444
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,560
And I thought, man, that's 
crazy. 

445
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,240
Well, now they figured it out 
that if you take and screw a lid

446
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,160
on it that has a wide stand, you
can flip your bottle upside down

447
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,560
and it can't escape out of the 
top because it it doesn't have a

448
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,520
loose lid. 
You know, I've seen one of 

449
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,960
those. 
So you know, when you, you think

450
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,360
about the products and what it's
got, you got a vision of it. 

451
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,000
You create this thing, you make 
a prototype, the different 

452
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,840
things. 
But the question is, what do you

453
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,360
do next to to see something like
happen? 

454
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:07,400
Now, I had AI had another friend
and he came up with an idea. 

455
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Has anybody been snowskin Ever 
been snowskin? 

456
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:13,000
OK, you got snowskin and and you
have poles, right? 

457
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,200
If you're over 2 foot tall, OK, 
the kids, none of my kids used 

458
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,400
poles. 
Man, it was amazing. 

459
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,120
I just thought you don't have a 
pole. 

460
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,120
I don't need a pole. 
What do you need a pole for? 

461
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:25,320
I said, because my rear end is 
further from the ground than you

462
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,280
are tall. 
And I said, I don't want to 

463
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,520
fall. 
And he said, but at the bottom 

464
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,880
of everyone is called a basket 
and everybody stands in line at 

465
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,840
the at the, you know, getting on
the lift and they and they're 

466
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,000
just sitting there poking the 
hole. 

467
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:45,760
This guy came up with a logo at 
the bottom and started out with 

468
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,320
college football. 
So his first one was Colorado 

469
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,840
University. 
And when you stamped it in the 

470
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,520
ground, it was a logo of 
Colorado. 

471
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,840
And he had one for Budweiser and
he had one for Coca-Cola. 

472
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,920
And he had one. 
And, and this is just as digital

473
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,440
printers were coming out, 3D 
printers. 

474
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,400
And he had these made. 
And then he found an investor 

475
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,920
and the investor took off with 
him. 

476
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,760
And, you know, they began to put
them in all the ski shops in 

477
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,880
Colorado and all the different 
places they could say. 

478
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,400
And so he knew what to do. 
And I've always been impressed 

479
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,520
with him. 
He comes up with some of the 

480
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,360
craziest stuff. 
Come up with a golf tee on a 

481
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:25,000
swivel. 
So it would show you how you're 

482
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,880
swinging. 
If it if it broke, you know, it,

483
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
it, it hit, it showed you were 
swinging this way. 

484
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:33,160
If it, if it went straight, it 
showed you were swinging right. 

485
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,280
And if it's, you know, it was 
amazing. 

486
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,400
And he had them made out of 
plastic and you know, you put 

487
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,680
them down there. 
So there are going to be people 

488
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,440
that will come up with a small 
vision and then figure out how 

489
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,360
to turn that into, you know, 
finances for them. 

490
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,760
But for most of us, we had a 
skill that we liked. 

491
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,160
I did, I had screen printing. 
I knew you could make money on 

492
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,800
screen printing and learn that 
early on. 

493
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,040
And not only did I go work for a
screen printer, but then the 

494
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,920
time came and I didn't have a 
problem with my boss, the first 

495
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,680
one that taught me everything, 
but I had this problem with the 

496
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,040
second one and I didn't want to 
compete with him anyway. 

497
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,560
I wanted to go back to what I'd 
learned from the other guy. 

498
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,240
And I had such a good 
relationship with him after I 

499
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,840
left him that he employed me to 
come and do some things in his 

500
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,760
shop for him and gave me jobs to
do at my shop. 

501
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,160
So you know when, when you take 
a look at that and you know your

502
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,680
vision. 
Now this is interesting because 

503
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,280
I want to give you 3 myths that 
people use to start these 

504
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,360
organizations. 
And, and here's what they sound 

505
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:32,520
like. 
See if like this, all right, it 

506
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,720
says I can do my, I can be my 
own boss and not have someone 

507
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,480
always telling me what to do. 
OK, we kind of mentioned that. 

508
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,760
That's a myth. 
OK, here's the next one. 

509
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,080
I can make my own hours and now 
I have the freedom, freedom to 

510
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,280
do what I want to do. 
Here's another myth. 

511
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,200
Everybody will want what I'm 
selling. 

512
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,680
OK, so let's look at reality. 
OK, can we get a vision for 

513
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,640
reality? 
You ready? 

514
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,200
Here's visual reality number 
one. 

515
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,160
Depending on what type of 
business you envision yourself 

516
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,000
in, you will more likely have 
dozens of new bosses. 

517
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,160
Not only that will tell you what
they want, when they want it. 

518
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,280
And if they're not satisfied by 
your response to their wants, 

519
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,840
you may not get paid. 
Everybody shout. 

520
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,240
I mean, you know, that's I had I
visited with a young man just 

521
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,440
not too long ago. 
He said I just don't like 

522
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,240
working for the other guy. 
I don't like somebody looking 

523
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,800
over my shoulder and tell me 
what to do. 

524
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:38,920
I'll go. 
Really. 

525
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,440
He goes. 
Yeah. 

526
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,880
I think I'm going to start my 
own business. 

527
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,560
Oh, really? 
OK, So you're having a hard time

528
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,840
with one boss. 
OK, let's take a look at about 

529
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,400
1/2 a dozen bosses and that you 
know, you're, you're charging 

530
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,880
more than what they're probably 
going to have to pay at dinner. 

531
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,120
All right? 
And you're going to, you're 

532
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,000
going to deal with that. 
I said you're not going to make 

533
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,840
it. 
I just told him that flat out. 

534
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,080
I said you're not going to make 
it. 

535
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,720
I said your motivation's all 
wrong, man. 

536
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160
You can't do it because you 
don't like somebody bossing over

537
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,720
you. 
Until you submit to the other 

538
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,240
guy, God cannot promote you. 
I mean, he will not give you 

539
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840
your own business first. 
All right, right, Because you, 

540
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,400
you know, you, you, you won't 
last, all right. 

541
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,560
But if you think about it, it's 
a if they're not satisfied with 

542
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,640
what they've done. 
I've got, you know, several 

543
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,760
friends that you know, have 
experienced the fact that you 

544
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,560
know, they didn't like what you 
did and they aren't going to pay

545
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,000
you for it. 
And then you might have to go to

546
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,640
court to collect, but that's 
going to cost you more money out

547
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,080
of the money you should have 
made anyway. 

548
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,680
So you got to be real careful on
how you know, it's an art in 

549
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,680
itself dealing with people under
that. 

550
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Now let's talk about visual 
reality #2 all right. 

551
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,520
In most cases, business startups
may be many excited 

552
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,360
entrepreneurs miscalculate the 
time it'll take to accomplish 

553
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,760
what they have envisioned in 
their business, he said. 

554
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,360
Especially when you are the 
person that turns the key to 

555
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,800
open the door, close the 
business every day, take care of

556
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,160
the accounting, the bank runs, 
business account reconciliation.

557
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680
Everybody loves that, right? 
Don't y'all love reconciling 

558
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,240
your checkbooks? 
No, you don't. 

559
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,800
I know how people are, all 
right? 

560
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,640
Bill paying, sales appointments,
marketing, special events, trade

561
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,960
shows, etcetera. 
They're only 24 hours in a day. 

562
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,320
The only question is how many 
hours in this day will it take 

563
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,000
to get these things done? 
You know, I heard a guy say one 

564
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,120
time he said, listen, man, I got
it made. 

565
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,320
I only work half days. 
And I thought, wow, that's 

566
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,400
awesome. 
He said, I get to determine 

567
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,160
which 12 hours that's going to 
be. 

568
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,200
Because, you know, everybody 
thinks, Oh yeah, man, I ain't 

569
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,640
kind of not when you're doing 
everything. 

570
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,680
I mean, they're you're going to 
find all those things that I 

571
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,920
just mentioned there, you know, 
are things that that just they 

572
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,560
take time. 
They take time. 

573
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,360
They take time. 
All right, now here's visual 

574
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,400
reality #3 what was what was the
the myth #3 was what everybody's

575
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,480
going to want what I'm selling. 
OK, so here's my one word 

576
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,280
answer. 
No, not everyone is going to 

577
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,280
want your product or service. 
Your main job moving toward is 

578
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,320
moving forward is letting those 
that actually do want to buy 

579
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,120
your service or what you have to
offer. 

580
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280
All right, how can they get it? 
That's your job. 

581
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,840
How can they? 
How can they get it? 

582
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,000
It says when you hear the words.
Wow, I didn't even know you were

583
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,920
here. 
Remember, it's not their fault. 

584
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,400
It's yours. 
I mean, that that was the 

585
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320
biggest struggle that I had, and
hearing it just drove me nuts. 

586
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,680
Wow, we didn't even know you 
guys were here. 

587
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,480
We didn't even know you guys 
existed. 

588
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,120
We didn't. 
And it ain't their fault. 

589
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,960
I mean, you know, it's mine. 
I didn't, I didn't get the right

590
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,760
channels or the right people 
that I was wanting to to get in 

591
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,880
touch with. 
So, you know, and here's what I 

592
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,960
found out. 
Not everybody wants my stuff. 

593
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,480
And I thought, yeah, surely, no,
it's not true. 

594
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:59,120
All right, now let's talk about 
the next question that I that I 

595
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,760
want to discuss is how do we 
know the vision is being 

596
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,040
accomplished? 
So I've wrote down, wrote, 

597
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,520
wrote, I've wrote down here, 
written down here. 

598
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,600
The next part of fulfilling the 
vision is deciding what missions

599
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,200
you will employ that will lead 
you in the right direction. 

600
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,320
So when we talk about vision, 
it's what we can see, whether 

601
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,480
it's there or not, OK, but what 
we desire to see. 

602
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,240
But we have to understand that 
we're going to have to go on a 

603
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,640
mission to be able to bring that
to pass, All right? 

604
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,200
So the question you have to ask 
yourself is what mission? 

605
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,800
All right, what missions will we
employ that will head us in the 

606
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,760
right direction? 
Vision is what we, what you are 

607
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,280
seeing can be accomplished. 
Vision is what you can see, what

608
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,680
you can see being accomplished. 
But mission is what you are 

609
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:55,320
doing to see it accomplished. 
That's a paraphrase, all right. 

610
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,640
But let's go back to anchor 
faith vision. 

611
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,680
All right? 
What missions can we implement 

612
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,520
to bring the vision into 
reality? 

613
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,440
I've got 3 for each one. 
Just like I had three questions.

614
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,480
OK. 
Ignite the city. 

615
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,200
What are some things that we can
do? 

616
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,720
And what are we doing to ignite 
the city? 

617
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,400
You guys hear them every week? 
What is it? 

618
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,480
What are we doing? 
Huh. 

619
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,680
No. 
How are we going to that ain't 

620
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,760
going to ignite the city. 
Right? 

621
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,120
That's going to let them know. 
Yeah, we're here. 

622
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:34,800
But how about this one? 
W Augustine, is that what you 

623
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,840
said? 
I didn't hear you say it. 

624
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,440
I didn't. 
I was concentrating. 

625
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,640
W Augustine is exactly right. 
Did you hear it? 

626
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,120
Did you hear him say that? 
OK. 

627
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,200
OK, So I know I'm not I'm not 
the only one that's not paying 

628
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,440
attention. 
But quit talking like a girl and

629
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,560
get you need to tell me what it 
is. 

630
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,280
All right. 
OK. 

631
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,400
You know, W Augustine, how do we
know that? 

632
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,600
That we're, you know, remember 
instead, how do we know we're 

633
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,440
accomplishing the vision? 
We go to West Augustine as a 

634
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:06,040
mission, but when we have people
show up in the church, we're we 

635
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,520
know we're accomplishing it, 
right? 

636
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,280
So we're we're seeing that 
vision come to pass. 

637
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,360
All right. 
Did you have any more? 

638
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,960
How about this one? 
Town hall meetings with local 

639
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,560
government. 
OK, Are we igniting? 

640
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Are we igniting the city? 
Yeah. 

641
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,840
When we have those officials 
come and they get up here and 

642
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,880
they tell what we're doing and 
then, you know, we hear things. 

643
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,639
I'll tell you, one of the 
funnest ones is that the last 

644
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:36,719
one we had, guy gets up and he 
says something and I go, you're 

645
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,600
the one. 
And I went down and thanked him 

646
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,120
because what has happened? 
And I don't know if you know 

647
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:48,600
this, but the state and these 
were these were state people, 

648
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,400
these weren't local people, OK. 
And I probably probably probably

649
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,760
should have used this 
illustration for the next one, 

650
00:34:53,760 --> 00:35:01,120
but but they have eliminated 
sales tax on commercial property

651
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,960
rentals. 
OK. 

652
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,360
So you saved that much money. 
And the guy up here talking, he 

653
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,080
said we met and we said, you 
know, that just seems like we're

654
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,080
taxing the small business person
to death. 

655
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,320
I, you didn't hear me say it, 
but inside I'm saying you're 

656
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,280
right, you are. 
Because I mean, you think about 

657
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,280
it when he gets up into the 
thousands, you know, And then, 

658
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,760
and so it was it eventually it 
started when Melanie and I took 

659
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:33,960
over the mall, it was 6 1/2 
percent, 6%, OK, half a percent 

660
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,280
went to the county, the surtax, 
OK. 

661
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,840
Then we got a drop to 4% for for
a year. 

662
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,600
The last time they dropped it 
was 2.5%. 

663
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,240
And we just got the letter. 
Effective October 1st, 2025. 

664
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,120
They've repealed that there is 
no more taxes related to 

665
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,520
commercial property rental. 
That's substantial for some 

666
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,200
people, you know, but you know, 
just to take, you know, part and

667
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,320
have that kind of knowledge, we 
can ignite the city. 

668
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,720
You know, we can let them know, 
Hey, it's tax free zone now, you

669
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:14,880
know, come, you know, come and 
and and rent something from us, 

670
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,760
Right, All right, here's the 
third one I got. 

671
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,320
How about feeding first 
responder and the homeless? 

672
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,040
How do you ignite the city? 
We got the homeless. 

673
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,840
We got, you know, we fed the 
police officers, we fed the 

674
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,440
firefighters, we fed and how do 
we impact? 

675
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,400
You know, that's how we, I mean,
that's how we ignite the city, 

676
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,560
all right. 
And we can tell when it comes to

677
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,440
pass and we've got people making
comments. 

678
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,440
Hey, this is this is the anchor 
Faith bunch. 

679
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,040
Hey, they did this. 
They did this the the working 

680
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,160
that we have with Flagler, you 
know, yeah, on the basketball 

681
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,560
and, and we go into games and 
cheering for them 'cause it 

682
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,400
doesn't look like a lot of their
students are, you know, but you 

683
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,400
think about that's how we 
impact. 

684
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,880
OK, let's talk about the next 
one. 

685
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,000
I mean, how we ignite, how do we
impact the nation? 

686
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,520
OK, give me something there. 
What are we doing to impact the 

687
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:13,330
nation? 
Well, that that would be in, you

688
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:15,090
know, in the United States. 
Yes. 

689
00:37:15,090 --> 00:37:17,730
And that is going to be a focus,
you know, building other 

690
00:37:17,730 --> 00:37:21,050
churches. 
We have the orphanage. 

691
00:37:21,050 --> 00:37:22,850
That's the influence. 
And I have that. 

692
00:37:22,850 --> 00:37:24,890
I would categorize that under 
the influence of the world. 

693
00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:27,410
How about this one? 
Participate in East Coast camp. 

694
00:37:29,170 --> 00:37:34,400
OK, We send our youth to a camp 
that is not in our city and they

695
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,880
are going to the nation, another
part of the nation and they're 

696
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,200
being they're being influenced. 
I mean, what is the second one? 

697
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:48,200
Impact, impact, OK, impacting 
their lives, all right. 

698
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,880
And those that they bring with 
them. 

699
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,640
That's always been the kind of 
fun is that I never see. 

700
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,120
And you know, and as a kid 
growing up when we were going to

701
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,480
church camp, you know, I've 
never seen any kids, But all of 

702
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,880
a sudden the grandparents that 
went to our church would always 

703
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,480
get them kids in there, you 
know, and you're trying to, you 

704
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,680
know, impact their lives, you 
know, with the gospel and the 

705
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,600
different things like that. 
And to see and, and we had we 

706
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,600
had results. 
I mean, we could see it. 

707
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,400
How about this, how the ministry
teams assist other ministries in

708
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,960
in in training, OK, as far as 
such as pastors talked about it 

709
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,160
or Apostle Earl has talked about
it so many times that you know, 

710
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,760
he's forming groups, OK. 
And you know, when it comes to 

711
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:32,280
doing a jail ministry, guess who
he's sending Habla Espanol. 

712
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,280
All right, we got a bilingual 
right here. 

713
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,720
He can do it all right, But 
that's what he's talking about. 

714
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,240
That's how you impact the 
different. 

715
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,760
How do you how do you start 
that? 

716
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,720
Whatever ministries that we 
have, you know, we're looking 

717
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:49,160
at, you know, Lord, what can you
know, what can we do and who can

718
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,600
send us to impact the nation? 
How about how about provide a 

719
00:38:53,600 --> 00:39:00,120
nationwide university? 
Can we make any impact? 

720
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,600
I think we will with the plans 
that we have and the students 

721
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,160
that we have that are in the 
country, but they're taking 

722
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,440
things online and we're redoing 
that online. 

723
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,760
I think that our reach for 
impacting them is going to be 

724
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480
very, very strong. 
OK, here's the third one. 

725
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,880
Influence the world. 
OK, give me something else. 

726
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,760
You, you gave me. 
We're going to start, you know, 

727
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,840
we're starting churches in other
parts of the world. 

728
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,920
You know, we have one in India, 
obviously. 

729
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,400
What's another one? 
Give me another one. 

730
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,160
How can we? 
How can we, what mission do we 

731
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,680
have to get in on to show that 
we're going to be influencing 

732
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,240
the world? 
What is it? 

733
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,240
Set financial support. 
How about I have the same 

734
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,080
supporting dozens of 
missionaries? 

735
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,720
That's what we're doing right 
now. 

736
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,920
We have an impact in all those 
nations, you know, and we're 

737
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,440
influencing all those nations. 
Would you? 

738
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:56,400
Yeah, yeah, no doubt. 
All right. 

739
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,240
And and, and, and and because 
it's online, it'll it'll be 

740
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:00,520
worldwide. 
There's no doubt. 

741
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,640
OK. 
And and I said influence the 

742
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,080
world is exactly what you said I
had down here starting anchor 

743
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,280
faith churches in other 
countries, OK. 

744
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,760
And we've got Nicaragua and 
that's what you said, is that So

745
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,320
how about this print books and 
other languages? 

746
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,720
I mean, if we're printing them 
in other languages, what are we 

747
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:19,600
going to do? 
How can we? 

748
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,240
How can we do that? 
So let's talk about a second. 

749
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:26,440
I'm on implementing strategies 
in our own business because I'm 

750
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,440
going to wrap it up and then 
we've got an announcement that 

751
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,240
we're going to make. 
All right, as far as let me give

752
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:33,400
you mine. 
Let me give you what US safety 

753
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,880
sign in decal. 
I just I went down the vision 

754
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:41,560
and and we worked on this years 
ago and and as far as you know, 

755
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,640
because, you know, vision and 
mission basically were, you 

756
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,120
know, buzzwords years ago. 
And I think they're coming back 

757
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,600
because a lot of churches are 
using them. 

758
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,280
But the vision for my company at
USA design and Decal. 

759
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,560
Here's here's what our desire 
and vision that we could 

760
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,760
envision. 
It said that to be a top 

761
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:06,080
manufacturer or and supplier of 
workplace safety communications 

762
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,800
by manufacturing reminders that 
will get employees home safely 

763
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,080
at the end of the day. 
OK, So my goal was not. 

764
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,960
So just say my goal in my vision
is to get everybody in the world

765
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,320
to buy my signs. 
All right? 

766
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,920
Problem is, is that I'm late in 
the game. 

767
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,000
OK, I showed up late. 
They were manufacturers of 

768
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,800
safety signs and safety 
communications before I ever 

769
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,320
showed up. 
All right? 

770
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,640
So, But when I took a look at, 
you know, the top manufacturer 

771
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,960
supply to supply workplace 
safety communications by 

772
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,960
manufacturing reminders, and 
those signs are reminders, They 

773
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,720
don't stop you from doing 
anything. 

774
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:48,040
They're to remind you don't do 
this or you'll be stupid. 

775
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,040
OK? 
I have a lot of humorous signs, 

776
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,120
all right, such as danger. 
It's Monday. 

777
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,600
Talk to me at your own risk. 
You probably need one of those 

778
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,880
for that office. 
All right, now here's a mission.

779
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,360
This is how we were going to 
pull it off. 

780
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,360
All right. 
That's that's what we wanted to 

781
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,440
do. 
We want to be known in the 

782
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,720
industry. 
I had one of my sales ladies one

783
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:14,040
day and went to a trade show and
she said, do you know how close 

784
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,120
you are to that? 
Amongst the, the industry that 

785
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,800
we were supplying to was oil and
gas industry. 

786
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,000
I want to be #1 that they came 
to. 

787
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
She goes, you are so close right
now. 

788
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,280
The problem you have in that 
industry is it has ups and downs

789
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,640
like nothing you've ever seen. 
OK. 

790
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,920
So it ain't like everybody you 
know in the world is going to 

791
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,640
buy a safety sign for their 
house. 

792
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,400
All right? 
These are specific signs geared 

793
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,880
for these particular industries.
But my mission was this is to 

794
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:48,280
position ourselves in the oil 
and gas industry as a leader, a 

795
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,280
leading provider of safety 
communication by providing signs

796
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,080
and decals that assist our 
customers comply with OSHA 

797
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:01,360
safety standards and turn and in
turn protects their employees 

798
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,920
from injury. 
So that's what we communicated 

799
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,640
through them. 
The reason that we want you to 

800
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,800
you know, you to purchase from 
us is that we have an 

801
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,760
understanding of what you're 
trying to protect. 

802
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,480
I understand that it could go 
deeper into liability. 

803
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:18,000
All right, you, you want to the 
signs keep the liability lower. 

804
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,600
If you had a sign there, you 
know, and and I was involved in 

805
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:27,000
many, many particular groups of 
the International Drilling 

806
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,920
Association that, you know, we 
got called into meetings in 

807
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,120
Oklahoma when somebody lost 
their life on a rig. 

808
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,480
And we were all part of that. 
And you know, when they're 

809
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,040
telling you that, you know, 23 
year old boy, you know, didn't 

810
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,360
pay attention to the 
instructions that were posted. 

811
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,000
And he got on a man riding lift 
up to the top of the rig and 

812
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,360
didn't secure in. 
And when he pushed off to go to 

813
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,400
the other side, he came off. 
And that's sad to go to the 

814
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,600
meetings. 
I mean, you know, it's like, and

815
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,640
and you know, so the question 
was, and it changes the industry

816
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,040
because they'll say, you know, 
Randy, could you make a sign 

817
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,080
that says this? 
Absolutely. 

818
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,320
I mean, we always were creating 
the signs for them, you know, to

819
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,600
be able to communicate better, 
communicate better. 

820
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,200
You just have you have one 
fatality and it changes your 

821
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,480
whole world. 
All right. 

822
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,600
And so I think that it, it's 
interesting that when we're in 

823
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,040
the business and we see what we 
want to do, sometimes we we need

824
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,800
to and that's what I want to 
form in, in the alliance here is

825
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,080
to be able to take a look at it.
What are you doing in marketing 

826
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,640
and would you be interested 
anything from outside sources? 

827
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,280
OK, I'm not a chiropractor. 
I like chiropractors. 

828
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,480
So, OK, they can help thee for 
sure. 

829
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,120
But you know, when it comes to 
the, there is the business of 

830
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,600
chiropractic. 
It's not just I, I know how I 

831
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,080
know how to adjust here or 
manipulate here. 

832
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,000
There's the business side of it.
OK, you got to pay bills. 

833
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,600
You got to, you know, you have 
to have your insurance for 

834
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,640
liability. 
You have to have, you know, all 

835
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,320
the, all the different things 
that the equipment, you know 

836
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,440
what it costs if it's released 
or owned or whatever the case 

837
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,200
may be. 
So every business has the 

838
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,800
business side of what's being 
able. 

839
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,440
One of the funnest times I ever 
have, Dad was going with Pastor 

840
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,440
David Derrama and he said, I 
said, what am I going for? 

841
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,440
He said, you're going to speak 
to the third year pastors about 

842
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,960
what? 
I mean, haven't they learned 

843
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,400
everything? 
They're third year man. 

844
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,560
And he goes, no, you're going to
tell them and, and, and, and 

845
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,880
tell them about understanding 
the business of ministry, you 

846
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,520
know, And so I had a four point,
you know, presentation and it 

847
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,680
was before I knew anything about
PowerPoint. 

848
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,080
I made a sign and I've done it 
here. 

849
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,760
I pulled a sign out of there and
set it on an easel. 

850
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,040
All right. 
And it tells you the point. 

851
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,280
And then if you didn't get the 
point, I'll flip the sign over 

852
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,800
and it gives you another point. 
It's just never ending. 

853
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,680
It's awesome. 
OK, so we'd go. 

854
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,520
And the funniest thing I did it,
I did it two years and same, you

855
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,640
know, as far as the same 
presentation. 

856
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,880
And every time they would 
applaud. 

857
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:16,440
And you never hear applause in a
school, OK, like, here's your, 

858
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,920
you know, revelation of the day.
And, you know, the bell rings 

859
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,080
and you leave and they would all
just applaud. 

860
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,160
And I get in the truck with him 
and I said, listen, what is all 

861
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,040
the applause about? 
He said, Randy, they have never 

862
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,280
heard anything like that, not in
this school. 

863
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:36,160
And I said that's sad because 
how many of them are going to 

864
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,440
get out there and not know how 
to run their ministry business 

865
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,520
side and get discouraged. 
But you know what? 

866
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,400
It just isn't in the ministry. 
We got people starting 

867
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,960
businesses that get into 
financial problems or business 

868
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,600
problems and they have nowhere 
to go, right. 

869
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,160
So you know, when we, when we 
talk about, you know, learning 

870
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,760
that is getting somebody from 
the outside. 

871
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,880
I did it myself. 
I, I just was confused on what I

872
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,360
needed to do to market. 
And I had AI had a friend that 

873
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:07,760
worked for an oil and gas 
company. 

874
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,240
He worked for a drilling company
really. 

875
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,160
And he was their marketing 
strategist. 

876
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,160
Well, he started a little 
something on the side and I 

877
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,040
said, hey, just come down here 
and tell me how much it's going 

878
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,800
to cost me to have you do an 
analysis of my whole company and

879
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,120
tell me what the best marketing 
is going to be for me. 

880
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,920
You know, is it mail out? 
Is it, you know, do a newsletter

881
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,000
every month? 
What is it? 

882
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,400
So he comes back and he said, 
I've looked at everything. 

883
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,920
And he said, your number one way
to market is going to be trade 

884
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,760
shows. 
All the people you want to see 

885
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,920
will be there. 
And so that just got me clicking

886
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,240
on. 
OK, so when I do a giveaway, do 

887
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:48,200
I want to do an ink pen to be 
next to all the other ink pens 

888
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,840
they received? 
Do I want to give a staple 

889
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,160
remover to all the other staple 
removers that they're going to 

890
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,400
receive? 
Do I want to get, you know, do I

891
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,360
want to give them a coaster with
all the coasters that they and 

892
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,480
and what we came up with was the
phone funny OSHA series and and 

893
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,480
I designed safety signs that 
were, I thought pretty funny. 

894
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,280
I just gave you one. 
It's Monday. 

895
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,920
I had one that said this 
restroom is a confined space 

896
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:18,280
area. 
You may need protection, 

897
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,760
breathing protection. 
You know, I have pictures with a

898
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,680
gas mask on a guy. 
All right, this is the restroom.

899
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,160
And they loved them. 
They would come whether they 

900
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,200
needed us or not. 
They go. 

901
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,000
Are you guys one of the ones 
with the funny stickers? 

902
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,920
Yeah, I have a pack and we did 
series of them and they'd come 

903
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,960
and they'd come specifically for
that 'cause I knew what, they're

904
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,240
not going to throw them away, 
you know, and they're not going 

905
00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:40,840
to say, huh, that's another PIN 
or whatever. 

906
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,960
They're going to put them around
the office had our name, phone 

907
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,800
number, e-mail, everything at 
the bottom. 

908
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,640
So they didn't have to hang on 
to a business card and figure 

909
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,400
out where that's at. 
They just go look at one of the 

910
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,480
signs they put on their file 
cabinet or whatever the case may

911
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,120
be. 
So when you talk about that, 

912
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,120
how, how do you fulfill that 
mission? 

913
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,840
What ideas can you come up with 
that fulfill the mission that 

914
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,360
you know basically is going to 
be the the legs to your vision. 

915
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,520
You want to do that? 
So I'm going to have Seth come 

916
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:15,520
up and, and tell us one of the, 
the visions and a mission that 

917
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,600
we're going to have and that 
we're going to, we're going to 

918
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,120
start, you know, implementing I,
I say sooner, better. 

919
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,320
OK, I know we could wait till 
the 1st year, but I don't think 

920
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,680
that's going to be necessary. 
So have a minute. 

921
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:34,480
All right. 
Yeah, I'm sorry. 

922
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,360
So the biggest thing, you know, 
these, the biggest thing we miss

923
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,880
sometimes is the implementation 
of everything we're learning, 

924
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,000
everything we're talking about, 
everything we discuss here. 

925
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,600
And I'm really hoping too that 
we can continue to grow the 

926
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,880
group here. 
So I'm going to hand out a, a 

927
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,440
sheet for all of you to fill out
and hand back to me tomorrow. 

928
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,040
It's a company profile. 
It's really kind of a real 

929
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,120
brief, just kind of some 
questions to get you thinking 

930
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,320
about your company. 
And then from that, I want you 

931
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,200
to schedule a one to one with 
Randy and I. 

932
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,720
So we're going to sit down, 
we're going to go over this. 

933
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,320
Yep, right. 
It's a one to two. 

934
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,640
It's just a mean to go over 
where's your business at? 

935
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,000
What are some questions you have
in your business? 

936
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,560
And from there we can help with 
strategy. 

937
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,200
We can help with ideal 
customers. 

938
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:30,560
I mean, there's so many things 
that can come out of that 

939
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,080
conversation really to help 
navigate these things in 

940
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,520
business. 
We don't want to just have these

941
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,440
conversations and then just 
leave you to your own devices. 

942
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:39,880
We want to help you actually 
grow. 

943
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,000
That's the whole point of the 
alliance, right? 

944
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,440
We're here together to work 
together so that we can grow 

945
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,880
together. 
I want to give you 4 scriptures 

946
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,000
that really line up with that, 
that we need to make sure we 

947
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,280
keep in front of us. 
And this is very important. 

948
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,400
This is something in this last 
year that has really hit home 

949
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,680
with me that we just need to 
keep in front of us. 

950
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,240
Proverbs 1/5. 
A wise man will hear an increase

951
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:06,440
in learning, and a man of 
understanding will acquire wise 

952
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,840
counsel. 
Proverbs 15. 

953
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,680
Proverbs 11/14. 
Where there is no guidance, the 

954
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,320
people fall, but in abundance of
counselors there is victory. 

955
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,240
Proverbs 1522. 
Without consultation plans are 

956
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:25,160
frustrated, but with many 
counselors they succeed. 

957
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,760
And then Proverbs 24/6 For by 
wise guidance we will wage, you 

958
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,640
will wage war and an abundance 
of counsellors. 

959
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,000
There's victory too often in 
business as entrepreneurs, we 

960
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,200
get in this mentality that we're
by ourselves. 

961
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,560
We have to do this, we have to 
figure this or that out. 

962
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,080
When a lot of us have gone 
through things, we know people 

963
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,680
or we have dealt with situations
that honestly, we could get 

964
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,680
through things a lot faster and 
a lot easier. 

965
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,000
So again, it's an alliance. 
We're here as a network. 

966
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,400
We work together and how much 
more in the body of Christ where

967
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,720
we're joint and fitted together 
to go wage war on the 

968
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:05,880
marketplace. 
So that's where I really believe

969
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,360
we're going to build this 
alliance a lot better. 

970
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,760
We're going to continue to grow 
and there's things coming that 

971
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,080
we're going to keep rolling out.
But this is something that needs

972
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,640
to happen I think soon later. 
So I'm going to hand this out, 

973
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,560
fill it out, please get it back 
to me tomorrow and let's 

974
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,720
schedule a meeting. 
My emails on the bottom. 

975
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,200
So if you could save that before
you hand it back to me, e-mail 

976
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,360
me and we can get that 
scheduled. 

977
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,200
All right, that's it, That's all
I got. 

978
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,200
All right. 
What you just said, that's 

979
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,280
great. 
The thing about every one of the

980
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,520
scriptures that he had is out of
Proverbs. 

981
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,480
And one thing that I've taught 
for years is you, you break down

982
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,920
what a proverb is. 
OK, when you talk about pro, 

983
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,160
PRO, most of the time you go to 
a list. 

984
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,480
And even in business, pros and 
cons. 

985
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:53,000
So pros or what? 
Yeah, positive things. 

986
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,800
OK, good things, Absolutely. 
So, you know, you're, you're 

987
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,560
weighing out decisions, things 
like that. 

988
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,600
So you let your pro pros or cons
and you want to have more pros 

989
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,480
obviously than cons, right. 
OK. 

990
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:08,760
But think about the word verbs. 
What is verb action? 

991
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:14,400
So you put the two together and 
you have positive actions, OK, 

992
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,360
So that's what we learn from 
Proverbs is the positive actions

993
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,120
that will get us the results 
that he tells us that he told 

994
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,400
us, he said multiple in in King 
James, multiple multitude, 

995
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:31,280
multitude of counselors. 
There is safety, OK, who don't 

996
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,040
want safety, right. 
So, you know, take a look, take 

997
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,800
a look at that. 
Do fill it out, let us know, you

998
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,400
know, whatever on there and then
let's get together and and talk 

999
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,000
about that. 
I want to grow it to the point 

1000
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,240
and we're going into 2026. 
There's some other things that 

1001
00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:47,760
we're going to implement. 
We've already, you know, kind of

1002
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,920
dropped, dropped some thoughts 
in Pastor's mind and he was very

1003
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,440
positive because, you know, we 
were given a vision when we 

1004
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,880
first started this back in O 8, 
OK? 

1005
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,680
We haven't seen all the vision 
that we want, you know, taking 

1006
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,240
place all right in that. 
But one of the ones that we saw 

1007
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,560
is what Seth was discussing is 
the one-on-one. 

1008
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:14,360
I've been more successful in 
this ministry getting one-on-one

1009
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,640
with people because I can give 
you something like what we 

1010
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,800
talked about tonight that might 
hit everybody, OK. 

1011
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,640
But the needs you have in your 
business are different from each

1012
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,920
other. 
And so we want to take that 

1013
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,520
one-on-one to hear what you've 
got. 

1014
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,600
There may be a book that we have
read that says, and we have read

1015
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,880
a lot of books. 
OK, there may be a book 

1016
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,760
somewhere that we have read that
could answer that question for 

1017
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,360
you. 
And all you have to do is 

1018
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,080
diligent. 
We'll be glad to, you know, 

1019
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,680
we'll make the recommendation. 
We'll follow up with you on 

1020
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,560
how's it going? 
What chapter are you on? 

1021
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:48,240
You know what? 
What is it that that you need to

1022
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:49,840
know to get you to the next 
level? 

1023
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:53,720
I want us to begin. 
Pastor Marcy and Apostle Marcy 

1024
00:54:53,720 --> 00:54:56,560
said it. 
She made a comment the other day

1025
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,720
and a prophecy and said you need
to think bigger than you are and

1026
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:01,320
you need to get ready for 
expansion. 

1027
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,480
OK, Now expansion is relative to
everybody. 

1028
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,720
You'll know when you need to 
hire more people. 

1029
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,400
We want to get you to that place
to recognize that, you know, 

1030
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,600
finding out what it is that 
you're able to do. 

1031
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,920
What can we do to work with the 
customers You had to get new 

1032
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,760
customers, you know those 
different things. 

1033
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,480
So that's all that that we're 
wanting to do in that networking

1034
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,240
part. 
But then, you know, we've got 

1035
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:26,760
some ideas on networking and 
what we want to do to make it 

1036
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,680
where more people know what 
you're doing other than taking a

1037
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,560
chance them going by the board 
out there and looking to see the

1038
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,560
one of many business cards. 
And that business card doesn't 

1039
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,720
tell us what you do. 
It might tell us what you are OK

1040
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:45,320
and what realm you're in. 
But, you know, we want people to

1041
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,440
know, hey, we've got people in 
the church to do these different

1042
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:49,960
things. 
All right, let's have a word of 

1043
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,000
prayer. 
We'll be dismissed. 

1044
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,160
Thank you guys for coming 
tonight. 

1045
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,880
Father, we thank you and praise 
you that as we get into the next

1046
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,800
weeks and and and months, as we 
close out this year and getting 

1047
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:03,280
into some things for next year, 
we're grateful that you can take

1048
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,640
us on this journey together and 
that we can build each other up,

1049
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,920
help each other, counsel each 
other, pray for each other and 

1050
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,600
their and their businesses. 
Hear what your goals, hear what 

1051
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,280
your vision, hear what your 
mission is. 

1052
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,440
And that we can be in agreement 
because you promised us in your 

1053
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,360
word that if any 2 on earth 
agree concerning anything that 

1054
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:27,520
they ask, Father, you said that 
that what they've asked is it'll

1055
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,800
be done. 
So we just needed a couple more 

1056
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,400
people to agree with us maybe 
and have some ideas on how we 

1057
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,480
can implement things in the 
natural that you give us to be 

1058
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,400
able to accomplish all that you 
have. 

1059
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,880
And we want to give you praise 
and Thanksgiving for the things 

1060
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,520
that we do learn and that we 
will put them to practice, 

1061
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,760
Father God. 
And we won't just be hearers, 

1062
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,040
but we'll be doers. 
And we thank you for it in Jesus

1063
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:49,680
name, Amen.
