S1E17 - Welcome to Be Life Changers – https://linktr.ee/kathycoatesevents
Sharing Local Love… stories of purpose, impact, and growth in business and life.
----------
Welcome back to Be Life Changers! In this year-end episode, we're reflecting on a transformative year of growth, divine timing, and business evolution. The conversation explores the internal shift required to move from being a solo operator to a leader who trusts their team. A major theme is the "mental hurdle" of delegation—learning to overcome the insecurity that handing off tasks is a sign of laziness. Instead, the discussion reframes delegation as a tool for growth, allowing a leader to focus on their true God-given purpose while empowering others to run with their own unique talents.

00:39.518 --> 00:44.626
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, first of all, you know, this has been my year of I tell you so much has happened this year.
00:44.646 --> 00:49.554
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, first of all, we got introduced and that's be life changers came this year.
00:49.854 --> 00:59.890
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I thought what better way to end the year than to have you on and because you don't know, it's all about gratitude and how grateful I am for you for helping to make.
00:59.870 --> 01:07.577
[SPEAKER_02]: be life-changing as possible, because if I wouldn't have met you, we wouldn't want to know what my videos would end up looking like at the house.
01:07.617 --> 01:27.396
[SPEAKER_04]: So you guys have this professional, wonderful studio with everything looking great, and that's all because of you and your team, and I thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.

01:30.582 --> 01:33.588
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you come in, you're like, I want to call it be life changers.
01:33.828 --> 01:37.635
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it was like, okay, that's so fitting to what I was wanting.
01:37.675 --> 01:42.404
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you prayed before we, you know, shoot on the podcast.
01:42.504 --> 01:46.532
[SPEAKER_04]: And I wanted that kind of person to be on
01:46.512 --> 01:51.138
[SPEAKER_04]: our list of the network and everything, and so I brought you here too.
01:51.518 --> 01:55.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, start in, but what if you didn't have to hunt for your next client?
01:56.064 --> 02:10.543
[SPEAKER_04]: What if there's a way that you could spend less than three hours per month, even as a busy entrepreneur, and start attracting your ideal clients, so that they come to you, rather than you, have to always go to them.
02:10.824 --> 02:14.308
[SPEAKER_04]: You could be the best of your industry, but we want to make you,
02:14.288 --> 02:15.309
[SPEAKER_04]: the best known.
02:15.550 --> 02:34.453
[SPEAKER_04]: And you can get started on this for free on our website go to JTVisuals.com and look for our ideal client profile generator we've trained AI to come up with who you should reach out to and who you need to become to be that go to expert of your industry and city.
02:34.574 --> 02:35.495
[SPEAKER_04]: So what are you waiting for?
02:35.595 --> 02:43.705
[SPEAKER_04]: Go to JTVisuals.com, this JTVS, UALS.com, JTVS, UALS.com,
02:43.685 --> 02:44.826
[SPEAKER_04]: I just started today.
02:45.187 --> 02:48.051
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you look at how God brings people together.
02:48.111 --> 02:53.818
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't believe in that any, when you meet someone, I think there's a divine reason for meeting people.
02:54.499 --> 02:56.722
[SPEAKER_02]: And there was this, not, not chance that we met.
02:57.103 --> 03:12.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, last year, as I said on many podcasts, and if you know, he personally, that this year was a pivot for me, because at the beginning of the year, the Lord really let me know to lead with
03:12.743 --> 03:15.387
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is literally what has happened this year.
03:15.447 --> 03:16.408
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, literally.
03:16.748 --> 03:17.089
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
03:17.149 --> 03:24.639
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, isn't it cool that you can use a podcast as a platform to set the stage of where you're going?
03:24.899 --> 03:29.426
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, the more you talk, you get better at the public speaking, you can bring on people.
03:29.466 --> 03:31.188
[SPEAKER_04]: You have amazing conversations with them.
03:31.228 --> 03:32.830
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a reason to meet with them, too.
03:33.111 --> 03:33.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, right.
03:34.493 --> 03:36.195
[SPEAKER_02]: No, come on the show and we'll talk.
03:36.215 --> 03:37.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, come on the show.
03:37.116 --> 03:38.478
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk, you know, shout to you out.
03:38.658 --> 03:41.502
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's amazing.
03:42.443 --> 03:46.166
[SPEAKER_02]: It floors me to see how far it has even come.
03:46.226 --> 03:53.333
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have such a heart for businesses and small businesses and wanting people to know about them and the community to know about them.
03:53.873 --> 04:04.903
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I've had some really great guests on this year and kind of reflecting back as you know, as this year I at first at the beginning of the year it seemed kind of slow to me.
04:04.923 --> 04:06.905
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this was the cool thing.
04:06.945 --> 04:12.450
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it started as in business that actually paid me,
04:12.430 --> 04:29.868
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was like, you know, the podcast, well, you know, the things, it was just kind of like what's going on and then I ran into Monique was most sophisticated events and went to one of her events and then in that and, you know, with business with wisdom and wisdom and another great day and wisdom.
04:30.029 --> 04:30.991
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
04:31.031 --> 04:31.131
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
04:31.111 --> 04:33.715
[SPEAKER_04]: That that was one of the more memorable ones too.
04:33.735 --> 04:34.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:35.297 --> 04:53.102
[SPEAKER_02]: And so God brought me a team which I have been praying for for a long time And so it was just like everything started to fit in place just like he said leave would be life changers and everything else will fall in place And it literally has like they're coming on and Monique's gonna this next year is gonna be taking on and
04:53.082 --> 05:21.992
[SPEAKER_02]: You know the event side of things so I'm really trying to get events out of my name Like so when people say what do you do Kathy I'm I'm a small business promoter an event strategist I'm trying to guess yes events out my mouth because you know I really and moving into wanting to help people find their God give in purpose and make a plan and business in life And yes, I you know sometimes you have these gifts talents and abilities and it's hard to let your gift go sometimes And let somebody else run with it
05:21.972 --> 05:23.554
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know if you've ever found that.
05:23.714 --> 05:25.316
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a team as like that.
05:25.436 --> 05:31.243
[SPEAKER_04]: It reminds me of literal running where you got to get through the hurdle, the mental hurdle of, man, I don't want to run, why am I doing this?
05:31.323 --> 05:35.268
[SPEAKER_04]: I hate this, and but you push through that, and then you can just run forever.
05:35.328 --> 05:38.532
[SPEAKER_04]: So that wall, I feel like it's like that.
05:38.732 --> 05:49.245
[SPEAKER_04]: And so once you start handing things over, it feels like a loss of purpose a little bit, but then you check yourself, and you're like, look at the purpose I was able to give now.
05:49.225 --> 06:02.979
[SPEAKER_04]: And then that starts getting more rewarding and so now I'm on that side where I feel like I can go forever and pass off things No problem and I don't care if someone thinks I'm lazy or not, you know Because sometimes that would be my insecurity But that's me too.
06:03.239 --> 06:04.140
[SPEAKER_02]: It's being amazing.
06:04.160 --> 06:05.021
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not what you do it.
06:05.041 --> 06:05.942
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I could just do it.
06:05.962 --> 06:07.023
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you read this email?
06:07.043 --> 06:16.313
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, well, why don't you do it like you're telling me what to say why don't you just like well It's because we need to practice the delegation and eventually you'll pick it up and be able to do it without me
06:16.293 --> 06:44.747
[SPEAKER_04]: There's reason behind it and things can't always rely on me, even if it's that like little small task and you feel like that person that you're just I don't know there's there's insecurities to it as far as how you think people see you when you do that well you do because you don't want that I mean I'm so glad you said that because I freeze me thank you because like it is it's like one of those things I don't want to be known as well.
06:44.727 --> 06:52.059
[SPEAKER_02]: even when I taught my kids you know how to clean or whatever growing up I felt like we're going to do this all as a team like we were and I still did stuff.
06:52.540 --> 07:04.660
[SPEAKER_02]: We are still doing things but we're doing something else and I don't know why that's been the hardest thing for me to let go is like it's okay to say you're just going to run that and I want it done this by see you later like you said write that email please
07:04.640 --> 07:23.658
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but it is really hard, but I got sent the right team because um, and as a runner as you know like I mean like the basically she'll grab something and run and Monique she's that has this way of just like okay Kathy, I already did it like what it was just being like that's like me.
07:23.678 --> 07:24.819
[SPEAKER_03]: I had that the other day too.
07:24.899 --> 07:29.704
[SPEAKER_04]: Really what is our producer here and she's like, I already did that.
07:29.804 --> 07:33.347
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, yes, that's awesome.
07:33.327 --> 07:34.129
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is.
07:34.671 --> 07:41.049
[SPEAKER_02]: It is great skill and that used to be my strong point when I work for other people because they didn't even have to ask me what's already done.
07:41.069 --> 07:48.450
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, how did you know how to do this, but I had never ran into somebody else that could do that for me and I have two people who do.
07:48.430 --> 07:54.279
[SPEAKER_02]: And so now I'm feeling like, but then again, I wrestle with that, do they think I'm not doing anything?
07:54.499 --> 07:56.502
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, why is that a ways in the back of our head?
07:56.522 --> 07:57.063
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
07:57.323 --> 07:59.466
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, like, it hits their naturally for me.
07:59.907 --> 08:06.717
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're just embedded into that in the way we're raised in the culture and just humanity, sin nature probably has a big role in that.
08:07.478 --> 08:09.882
[SPEAKER_04]: The devil probably has a role in that.
08:09.862 --> 08:17.873
[SPEAKER_04]: But at the same time, you can practice how you handle that and how you respond to it.
08:18.093 --> 08:18.654
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
08:18.674 --> 08:22.439
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's the Bible scripture is a tarmac taking thoughts captive.
08:22.660 --> 08:22.860
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
08:22.880 --> 08:23.881
[SPEAKER_04]: So I've got you call me this.
08:23.942 --> 08:29.329
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to do it and I'm going to live out the obedience even if my brain is wanting me to think this way.
08:29.770 --> 08:32.173
[SPEAKER_04]: And then eventually it's like a Tony Robbins thing.
08:32.153 --> 08:37.462
[SPEAKER_04]: where you think it over and over, you're telling yourself a story over and over and over.
08:37.522 --> 08:46.357
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you do that in a positive way, it's scientifically proven that the narrow pathways or whatever, I'll sounding super smart for a second.
08:46.638 --> 08:48.120
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I saw that.
08:48.286 --> 08:56.319
[SPEAKER_04]: the way the track that our brain waves go through becomes the area of least resistance is what is going to choose.
08:57.180 --> 09:06.295
[SPEAKER_04]: So therefore when you think more positive or you learn to handle some of these thoughts that come in naturally,
09:06.275 --> 09:12.924
[SPEAKER_04]: the more you exercise that and the more reps you do, the easier it is later to handle that.
09:13.164 --> 09:16.909
[SPEAKER_04]: And I feel like I've gotten to a point where I've been able to practice it a lot.
09:17.350 --> 09:17.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
09:17.811 --> 09:19.293
[SPEAKER_04]: And then it's my favorite word right now.
09:19.613 --> 09:21.676
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it my favorite word of 2025, guys?
09:21.696 --> 09:22.937
[SPEAKER_04]: Like your favorite?
09:23.318 --> 09:24.840
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a tenacity.
09:24.820 --> 09:26.644
[SPEAKER_02]: tenacity, I like it.
09:27.065 --> 09:36.447
[SPEAKER_04]: Such a word that's been missing for a long time and I've been looking for opportunities to practice that even more because I thought I was good about not carrying what others think in the good way.
09:36.828 --> 09:37.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
09:37.229 --> 09:38.873
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I get that.
09:39.554 --> 09:42.441
[SPEAKER_04]: But most of the time the realization is
09:42.421 --> 09:44.526
[SPEAKER_04]: they're not even thinking of me.
09:45.008 --> 09:47.073
[SPEAKER_04]: It's me thinking of what they think.
09:47.374 --> 09:47.574
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
09:47.594 --> 09:49.399
[SPEAKER_04]: Not what they're actually thinking.
09:49.419 --> 09:49.820
[SPEAKER_02]: It's true.
09:50.221 --> 09:56.417
[SPEAKER_04]: So once I realize that, then it's just practicing the tenacity of when someone tells me something I don't like.
09:57.079 --> 09:59.164
[SPEAKER_04]: How do I handle that?
09:59.144 --> 10:00.768
[SPEAKER_04]: And then it's like, that's so good.
10:00.788 --> 10:15.567
[SPEAKER_04]: So I got to go point where like, you know you get that, like I think it's like an anxious feeling or an anxiety and something like flushes through that feeling when someone says something you just disagree with or you don't like it or they're very confrontational.
10:16.019 --> 10:22.288
[SPEAKER_04]: that kind of has gone away, not like completely, but it's gone away and haven't felt that in a long time.
10:22.708 --> 10:22.929
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
10:23.429 --> 10:24.230
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's good.
10:24.250 --> 10:25.853
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm gonna have to put it in practice.
10:25.893 --> 10:30.359
[SPEAKER_04]: But then I felt it today because I haven't felt it in a long time.
10:30.800 --> 10:31.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.
10:31.300 --> 10:32.322
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, oh, there it is.
10:32.562 --> 10:38.831
[SPEAKER_04]: And it felt like that movie, anxiety coming back, or whatever, like the, what's that movie, the cartoon?
10:40.173 --> 10:41.875
[SPEAKER_04]: With all those emotions.
10:41.956 --> 10:46.282
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, oh my goodness, it's my grandbaby's loves that movie inside out.
10:46.422 --> 10:48.805
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, why am I going to get into the browns?
10:48.826 --> 10:49.747
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to get anxiety.
10:49.767 --> 10:50.648
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, anxiety.
10:50.688 --> 10:51.369
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that one.
10:51.750 --> 10:52.891
[SPEAKER_02]: That hit home.
10:53.071 --> 10:54.013
[SPEAKER_02]: I watched that.
10:54.033 --> 10:55.194
[SPEAKER_02]: Watch that cartoon.
10:55.214 --> 10:59.540
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it wise is cartoon speaking to me because I said, do I look that crazy?
11:00.061 --> 11:01.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Do I look like anxiety?
11:03.033 --> 11:06.919
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I actually got my TikTok pretty positive in this helped.
11:07.019 --> 11:17.937
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you do actually train your algorithm and get those people who are life-seeking people like you on this podcast, go and favor it all this stuff, and then go and find all the other people.
11:18.017 --> 11:19.760
[SPEAKER_04]: Tony Robbins is good.
11:19.800 --> 11:20.261
[SPEAKER_04]: I like him.
11:20.421 --> 11:24.308
[SPEAKER_04]: He's always like, don't say this, say this, and there's some other speech people.
11:25.289 --> 11:30.137
[SPEAKER_04]: So in business, I've learned how to say things more positively.
11:30.117 --> 11:37.552
[SPEAKER_04]: and there's no pressure either because you're called to be you, and you're always ever evolving changing persons.
11:38.033 --> 11:47.191
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, and I feel like, you know, I always have to remind myself, give yourself the same grace you give everybody else.
11:47.211 --> 11:48.193
[SPEAKER_04]: That's so good.
11:48.427 --> 11:56.616
[SPEAKER_02]: because I do, I think I do that well, show people grace a lot of times, but I don't show myself real good grace.
11:56.636 --> 11:57.757
[SPEAKER_04]: And one is that, you know?
11:57.777 --> 11:58.879
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, what is that about?
11:58.919 --> 12:00.841
[SPEAKER_02]: Like why am I so hard on myself?
12:01.321 --> 12:03.324
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, tell everybody else, oh, that's not worries.
12:03.384 --> 12:04.385
[SPEAKER_02]: That's one of my things.
12:04.425 --> 12:04.966
[SPEAKER_02]: No worries.
12:05.126 --> 12:05.786
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not a big deal.
12:06.087 --> 12:07.929
[SPEAKER_02]: I got you, it's not a big deal, no worries.
12:08.109 --> 12:10.191
[SPEAKER_02]: But when it comes to me, what were you thinking?
12:10.211 --> 12:11.713
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it was not no worries to me.
12:12.714 --> 12:14.376
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, so yeah, no, but you know.
12:14.596 --> 12:17.860
[SPEAKER_04]: So I was like, what would you tell yourself if you were the life coach of yourself?
12:17.840 --> 12:18.761
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, exactly.
12:19.082 --> 12:20.804
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, practice what we preach, I guess.
12:20.824 --> 12:21.765
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
12:21.865 --> 12:23.508
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, tell our kids about the time.
12:24.028 --> 12:25.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, practice what we preach.
12:25.270 --> 12:26.331
[SPEAKER_04]: Do what I say, not what I do.
12:27.313 --> 12:29.355
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, well, we're supposed to model things.
12:29.375 --> 12:30.477
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
12:30.557 --> 12:34.442
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not thinking maybe in 2026, that's what I'm going to have to look for a word for that.
12:34.602 --> 12:36.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm waiting for my word.
12:36.385 --> 12:38.407
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I always got a word for the year, you know?
12:38.708 --> 12:39.088
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
12:39.108 --> 12:41.552
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's like, was my word going to be for next year?
12:41.592 --> 12:41.952
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what?
12:42.633 --> 12:44.275
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a good idea.
12:44.295 --> 12:46.378
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause did you have a word for 2025?
12:46.561 --> 12:48.383
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and I'm going to ask me and follow me to it.
12:48.403 --> 12:49.604
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to try to forget what it was.
12:50.205 --> 12:51.186
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you need time to remember?
12:51.346 --> 12:52.988
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I'll come to me in a second.
12:53.008 --> 12:54.049
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, so remember my word?
12:54.169 --> 12:54.910
[SPEAKER_04]: What is yours, tell me?
12:54.930 --> 12:56.772
[SPEAKER_04]: And I remember because I told people.
12:56.792 --> 12:58.374
[SPEAKER_04]: So if I didn't say, I would remember.
12:58.414 --> 12:58.754
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, right.
12:59.215 --> 13:00.456
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's important to tell other people.
13:01.958 --> 13:02.398
[SPEAKER_04]: Move.
13:02.418 --> 13:03.079
[SPEAKER_02]: Move.
13:03.379 --> 13:04.841
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, all right.
13:05.161 --> 13:08.204
[SPEAKER_04]: And in this guy was like, well, what do you think that means?
13:08.685 --> 13:09.666
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like,
13:09.646 --> 13:15.433
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I think it's multifaceted, and move is literally on moving, like we're supposed to move this year.
13:15.453 --> 13:18.296
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's actually kind of a crazy story there.
13:18.336 --> 13:21.600
[SPEAKER_04]: How I thought God was telling us to move.
13:22.241 --> 13:24.444
[SPEAKER_04]: And then so we decided to.
13:24.484 --> 13:28.909
[SPEAKER_04]: And then the program we were running to keep going.
13:28.969 --> 13:30.291
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to call the next day.
13:30.311 --> 13:35.037
[SPEAKER_04]: And they said, hey, we're going to, like the apartments are being sold.
13:35.057 --> 13:36.178
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to have to.
13:36.198 --> 13:39.602
[SPEAKER_04]: They're probably not going to do the program that you guys were doing.
13:39.970 --> 13:50.342
[SPEAKER_04]: And normally, that should freak people out, but the day before we got that call, we had this piece thought of like, God's gonna have us move, literally move from apartments to a house.
13:50.703 --> 13:51.243
[SPEAKER_01]: And wow.
13:51.304 --> 14:00.935
[SPEAKER_04]: So that we should be freaking out and they're like, you have like 30 to 60 days to move or to get out over for you find out or pay for whatever it was.
14:01.376 --> 14:02.277
[SPEAKER_04]: It's where in partnership.
14:03.158 --> 14:04.399
[SPEAKER_04]: And so we're like, you know what?
14:04.880 --> 14:09.285
[SPEAKER_04]: We already decided, we already know where we're going the day before.
14:09.265 --> 14:11.569
[SPEAKER_04]: that's easy for you to tell us that bad news.
14:13.172 --> 14:13.332
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
14:13.353 --> 14:17.340
[SPEAKER_04]: So that was one thing and then the other is we're like business and things like that.
14:18.001 --> 14:20.225
[SPEAKER_04]: This was the year that we built a team.
14:20.325 --> 14:21.147
[SPEAKER_04]: Was this your team year?
14:21.187 --> 14:22.189
[SPEAKER_04]: It seems like a team year.
14:22.249 --> 14:23.151
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a team year.
14:23.171 --> 14:24.453
[SPEAKER_02]: It must have been like a team year.
14:24.573 --> 14:24.794
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
14:25.034 --> 14:29.923
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and I'm trying to remember what I know the one thing I remember about words for the year,
14:29.903 --> 14:34.208
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like the last few years words has fused together this year.
14:34.488 --> 14:34.829
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
14:34.849 --> 14:48.986
[SPEAKER_02]: So like we always thought like Ella Vate was one of my words, a couple of you know, and then Catapult was Danielle and I, my best friend Danielle and I, we both got the same word one year was Catapult and that was just like a couple of years ago.
14:49.026 --> 14:52.410
[SPEAKER_02]: So Ella Vate Catapult and we were waiting for all these things to happen.
14:52.830 --> 14:59.218
[SPEAKER_02]: And we didn't see it within that year, but in 2025 and even at that,
14:59.198 --> 15:03.013
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, okay, I was waiting for that shift.
15:03.033 --> 15:10.322
[SPEAKER_02]: I was thinking, well, maybe it's just going to be like some of the others, the words that we're kind of coming together later, but this last quarter.
15:11.062 --> 15:13.024
[SPEAKER_02]: and that's where the catapult comes for.
15:13.264 --> 15:13.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
15:13.825 --> 15:17.168
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, you know, we literally elevated, like, you know, I elevated.
15:17.208 --> 15:20.351
[SPEAKER_02]: And my words that come from me are not just for me.
15:20.431 --> 15:22.573
[SPEAKER_02]: It's for my whole entire team.
15:22.633 --> 15:27.538
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, my, my vendors, the businesses that follow me and things like that.
15:28.018 --> 15:31.722
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm always like really challenging them with a word.
15:31.762 --> 15:33.924
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I want you to elevate what you're doing.
15:34.084 --> 15:39.870
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, don't just see yourself where you wanna be and walk it as if you're already there.
15:39.850 --> 15:41.533
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I was practicing.
15:41.553 --> 15:42.915
[SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's so good.
15:43.076 --> 15:44.017
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was really proud.
15:44.037 --> 15:51.090
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, if you're wanting to be like, if you're in a job and you want to be the manager, if you're a young person and you want to be the manager, you need to dress like the manager.
15:51.872 --> 15:54.957
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, if you want to be a owner, then you act like a owner.
15:55.072 --> 15:57.075
[SPEAKER_02]: of a business before you ever are.
15:57.596 --> 15:59.960
[SPEAKER_02]: So wherever you want to see yourself, you want to elevate.
16:00.020 --> 16:10.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Not only that, elevate the friend you're around when you're networking, get with the people that not so much thing like you, because they're going to tell you what you want to know.
16:10.738 --> 16:17.129
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to find someone who is ahead of you, that is going to be bold enough to tell you what you need to know.
16:17.329 --> 16:17.670
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:18.275 --> 16:20.097
[SPEAKER_02]: because I'm a mentor.
16:20.138 --> 16:23.963
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I have, it's easy to get cheerleaders all around you.
16:24.023 --> 16:24.744
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, great job.
16:24.764 --> 16:38.983
[SPEAKER_02]: You're doing a good job, like, you know, and they're not going to tell you that you have lipstick on your teeth or, I mean, they're just not getting you, but I mean, I want someone that's around me that's going to say, hey, Kathy, you know, you do this really well, but if you ever tried this,
16:38.963 --> 16:46.495
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, I think I foresee this but to help your business to grow, you know, I'm satisfying, you know, elevate, you know, exactly.
16:46.515 --> 16:55.310
[SPEAKER_02]: And when the team came, it's like, you know, I just, they pushed me, you know, I moved fast as it is, but to be consistent in what I was already doing.
16:55.570 --> 16:56.772
[SPEAKER_02]: You see them saying, yeah.
16:56.973 --> 16:59.537
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, um, you know, um,
16:59.517 --> 17:02.422
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was my word for the years to be consistent.
17:02.462 --> 17:03.464
[SPEAKER_02]: Consistency.
17:03.744 --> 17:04.946
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew it came to me.
17:05.287 --> 17:06.168
[SPEAKER_02]: That was what it was.
17:06.329 --> 17:07.250
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I have.
17:07.310 --> 17:08.893
[SPEAKER_02]: This year has been consistent.
17:09.113 --> 17:11.698
[SPEAKER_02]: I consistently putting on pocket.
17:11.738 --> 17:13.501
[SPEAKER_02]: And every, I mean, I've been consistent.
17:13.982 --> 17:16.646
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we have, you know, found a rhythm that works.
17:16.706 --> 17:20.152
[SPEAKER_02]: And then consistent posting on my social media more consistent.
17:20.192 --> 17:24.900
[SPEAKER_04]: Literally putting things on the calendar for me on my other podcast is like,
17:24.880 --> 17:26.783
[SPEAKER_04]: that helps me with consistency.
17:27.564 --> 17:29.067
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, oh, we're meeting at this time.
17:29.347 --> 17:30.790
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, we always shoot this time.
17:30.850 --> 17:34.115
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you join, you know, and then that keeps consistency, too.
17:34.495 --> 17:35.517
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes.
17:35.737 --> 17:43.831
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes it's being too variable and too flexible, can actually stop you from doing all the things that you could be effective for.
17:43.891 --> 17:49.099
[SPEAKER_04]: And so it is like this cross of plan,
17:50.024 --> 17:52.706
[SPEAKER_04]: and flexible, so bamboo structure.
17:53.067 --> 17:53.647
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
17:53.667 --> 17:54.588
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's the best.
17:54.908 --> 17:55.809
[SPEAKER_04]: So do it.
17:56.370 --> 17:57.811
[SPEAKER_04]: Things on a calendar can move.
17:58.492 --> 17:58.892
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
17:58.912 --> 18:00.974
[SPEAKER_04]: But put it in, like, but at least have a plan.
18:01.014 --> 18:01.975
[SPEAKER_02]: At least have a plan.
18:02.095 --> 18:02.275
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
18:02.635 --> 18:03.917
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like, they have a plan.
18:04.237 --> 18:10.643
[SPEAKER_04]: He used to be so daunting for me to look at a calendar and see that there's one thing on there.
18:10.683 --> 18:13.865
[SPEAKER_04]: And the variable of not knowing how long it is.
18:14.546 --> 18:16.188
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like two o'clock.
18:16.208 --> 18:20.031
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's maybe one or two hours long.
18:20.011 --> 18:35.955
[SPEAKER_04]: And then if something else came up for that day, I would say it was busy because I wasn't so sure right right of the rest of it got to So my consistency got way better and it's like I can put more on the calendar for this day right Like you don't a lot more.
18:35.975 --> 18:37.397
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you can do a lot more.
18:37.677 --> 18:45.068
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and the nice freeing thing about that is If you didn't get it all done you can put it on the calendar for later.
18:45.128 --> 18:45.529
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
18:46.910 --> 18:47.732
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
18:47.752 --> 18:48.934
[SPEAKER_04]: Mind blowing.
18:48.954 --> 18:49.575
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my goodness.
18:49.856 --> 18:50.618
[SPEAKER_04]: You can move it.
18:50.638 --> 19:02.241
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why I like saying pencil it in, sometimes on the business, sometimes it's not good, but like on a, for if I'm unsure, but like, you know, I'll default and pencil this in if something changes all of you know, right?
19:02.261 --> 19:05.087
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's a way for if it's a loose commitment.
19:05.253 --> 19:05.533
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
19:05.654 --> 19:15.409
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it just helps us to keep, you know, moving one foot forward and keeping going and you find that you get a whole lot more accomplished when you do that.
19:15.469 --> 19:18.533
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you don't get it crossed off, it's fine.
19:18.814 --> 19:20.957
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a lot of that stuff can be moved.
19:21.037 --> 19:23.842
[SPEAKER_02]: And but you have those hard solids that you can't move.
19:24.262 --> 19:24.482
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
19:24.523 --> 19:26.405
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, and those are hard solids, you know?
19:26.466 --> 19:27.026
[SPEAKER_04]: Those are.
19:27.407 --> 19:27.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
19:27.527 --> 19:28.088
[SPEAKER_02]: What's that?
19:28.068 --> 19:28.649
[SPEAKER_04]: family.
19:29.071 --> 19:33.462
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, all of your values like you've done core values for your business do core values for your family.
19:33.502 --> 19:35.787
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, one's faith family and fun.
19:36.389 --> 19:38.213
[SPEAKER_04]: Those things we have to have that.
19:38.554 --> 19:38.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:38.755 --> 19:41.101
[SPEAKER_04]: And if we're not putting time into doing that.
19:41.261 --> 19:43.146
[SPEAKER_04]: So I like I've been saying this lately too.
19:43.186 --> 19:44.068
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like,
19:44.048 --> 19:51.117
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're busy, correct, correct, busy, you should be busy with the right things, so you don't feel busy.
19:51.217 --> 19:58.607
[SPEAKER_04]: Like maybe there's on alarm going off and things like, hey, I got to go over here to hear, I got to go somewhere and you're on the move a lot, move.
19:58.707 --> 19:59.208
[SPEAKER_04]: There's my word.
19:59.388 --> 20:04.795
[SPEAKER_04]: But if you can put it all in, you can say that you're busy spending time with family.
20:04.815 --> 20:06.978
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say you're busy with free time.
20:07.498 --> 20:07.859
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
20:07.879 --> 20:10.282
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say you're busy with a mede.
20:10.722 --> 20:12.705
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say you're busy with
20:12.803 --> 20:15.577
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to serve or this or that.
20:15.657 --> 20:21.345
[SPEAKER_04]: Like if you just start putting it on the calendar, you run your calendar and then no one else will.
20:21.528 --> 20:21.828
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
20:22.409 --> 20:26.113
[SPEAKER_04]: That was like the a big key thing for this year for me.
20:26.453 --> 20:27.514
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's so important.
20:27.995 --> 20:28.896
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think that's it.
20:28.916 --> 20:38.626
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's really important to make sure that you have consistency one and then riding it on your calendar and keeping yourself on track.
20:38.866 --> 20:49.678
[SPEAKER_02]: That's when those routines come in spot because if the more routines you have for the important things in the morning, like getting your routine going and then your calendar starts, you know?
20:49.658 --> 20:57.369
[SPEAKER_02]: those things that don't get done, I always go back to the scripture and up today has enough worries of it.
20:58.050 --> 21:07.765
[SPEAKER_02]: So worry about what you can get done today and then whatever you can't cast it to the Lord so render it all and start tomorrow with a new page.
21:08.025 --> 21:11.129
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a flipping's two 14 I love that one so you don't worry about anything.
21:11.710 --> 21:11.911
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
21:12.151 --> 21:13.573
[SPEAKER_04]: Instead, pray about everything.
21:13.756 --> 21:14.417
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
21:14.437 --> 21:15.960
[SPEAKER_04]: And some translations say anxious.
21:16.601 --> 21:16.761
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
21:17.042 --> 21:19.826
[SPEAKER_04]: And so what's the tool that you do?
21:20.347 --> 21:24.093
[SPEAKER_04]: What are you use when you're worrying or feeling anxious?
21:24.534 --> 21:24.795
[SPEAKER_04]: Prayer?
21:24.995 --> 21:25.275
[SPEAKER_02]: Prayer.
21:25.656 --> 21:26.157
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
21:26.497 --> 21:27.439
[SPEAKER_02]: The word prayer.
21:27.820 --> 21:28.080
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
21:28.100 --> 21:37.536
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I have lots of little scriptures I've written all over the house because I have fought anxiety and still it has tried to come back this year or some.
21:37.516 --> 21:47.419
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I put my fair cards back up and our my scripture cards, I mean, I do a lot of prayer, but my scripture cards are very important to me that they're there.
21:47.440 --> 21:47.901
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:47.921 --> 21:49.384
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and I helped.
21:49.404 --> 21:55.238
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like I didn't you say this too, because we've brought up anxiety a little bit is just.
21:55.690 --> 21:59.135
[SPEAKER_04]: It's an actual emotion, let's put there.
21:59.655 --> 21:59.855
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
22:00.276 --> 22:02.158
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's good reasons that it's there, too.
22:02.459 --> 22:02.919
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
22:03.040 --> 22:09.047
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's like a relationship of your anxiety, and sometimes that becomes your gut reaction stuff.
22:09.068 --> 22:09.969
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's not all bad.
22:10.009 --> 22:10.589
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
22:10.990 --> 22:17.879
[SPEAKER_04]: But for the most part, how we talk about it, usually, we're talking about the bad side of it and letting it control us versus the opposite.
22:18.240 --> 22:19.301
[SPEAKER_02]: Or what we do with it?
22:19.581 --> 22:20.162
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
22:20.142 --> 22:22.667
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think it's really important for me to jump off a cliff.
22:22.927 --> 22:24.330
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it happens.
22:24.350 --> 22:24.651
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
22:24.891 --> 22:25.152
[SPEAKER_03]: Why?
22:25.412 --> 22:26.454
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's our instinct.
22:26.474 --> 22:27.116
[SPEAKER_03]: It's danger.
22:27.296 --> 22:27.997
[SPEAKER_03]: That's danger.
22:28.318 --> 22:28.959
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:28.979 --> 22:29.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:29.440 --> 22:36.714
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think a lot of times when I'm feeling that, a lot of times, I even had to remind myself, you got too much on your plate.
22:36.795 --> 22:42.606
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going back to my calendar, putting too much on there and being okay with it.
22:43.042 --> 22:44.264
[SPEAKER_02]: I could let something go.
22:44.284 --> 22:47.428
[SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of times I bring that on myself.
22:47.488 --> 22:54.818
[SPEAKER_02]: Not saying that everybody, that's not for everyone, but I mean just saying in some situations for myself, I have just put too much on my plate.
22:55.499 --> 23:02.429
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I feel like I have to have this done for this person that done here and I gotta get my family and all this stuff and I'm overcommitted and all these things.
23:02.609 --> 23:09.218
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, yeah, you know, so just making sure that you're able to let that all go.
23:09.316 --> 23:30.210
[SPEAKER_04]: So a little bit of a reflection, then shift some gears is looking at when you first started to where you are now I've definitely seen that consistency and it's really awesome and now you're consistent on social media as well, but also some other things is what I'm staring at right here.
23:31.490 --> 23:32.371
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I know.
23:32.471 --> 23:36.217
[SPEAKER_02]: If you were to ever thought, like, I always knew that I was supposed to write a book.
23:36.477 --> 23:42.987
[SPEAKER_02]: And all of those things about, you know, um, but when my team came in, they were like, Kathy, you're going to put it in place.
23:43.187 --> 23:43.788
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yes.
23:43.868 --> 24:01.193
[SPEAKER_02]: So, coming up with the books and this, um, next year going to reflect and to look forward to our intention for next year is to take what we've already built and have some retreats, where we come together and teach people about
24:01.173 --> 24:12.057
[SPEAKER_02]: And like we today, we're talking about reflecting and gratitude and being grateful, and that's what that that turns all about and it doesn't have to be long.
24:12.137 --> 24:17.309
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody thinks journaling has to be, I don't have time because I'm going to sit down for 30 minutes to an hour.
24:17.369 --> 24:20.937
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we made this so that it could be done in less than 10 minutes.
24:20.917 --> 24:22.419
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like microjourn.
24:22.560 --> 24:23.301
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a microjourn.
24:23.321 --> 24:29.370
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's just to create that little habit, but that little habit adds up to becoming a lot.
24:29.771 --> 24:32.215
[SPEAKER_04]: Like if we did this every day, how long does this go a year?
24:32.275 --> 24:36.782
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, that's just, I think that's just a, I think it's 90 days.
24:36.762 --> 24:40.707
[SPEAKER_02]: because it's still not, but we can get more, but we can get, but we're, yeah, you're just getting in.
24:40.727 --> 24:41.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, right, right.
24:42.209 --> 24:44.992
[SPEAKER_04]: On the gratitude three things, like, so that's 270 things.
24:45.012 --> 24:47.715
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a lot.
24:47.756 --> 24:49.978
[SPEAKER_04]: That you could look back and see what you were grateful for.
24:50.038 --> 25:05.217
[SPEAKER_04]: And some of you might find repeat patterns and stuff, but I think it's more cool because I'm not someone that goes back and looks at things I wrote down, but there's this visual memory and when you actually physically write,
25:05.737 --> 25:18.717
[SPEAKER_04]: you have more memory of what you did and so when you instead of thinking if you're grateful in your head and running those thoughts for just one second, this will be such a greater exercise.
25:18.777 --> 25:21.121
[SPEAKER_02]: When you're writing it, you're saying it to yourself.
25:21.441 --> 25:28.993
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're thinking about the things you're grateful for and as you write that, you're going to forget about the things that are troubling you.
25:28.973 --> 25:45.784
[SPEAKER_04]: you're going to forget about the things that you know all those negative thoughts we're putting positive thoughts in so that you know yeah so man if you want to start your new year off correctly and start your day every day from the new year
25:45.764 --> 25:54.481
[SPEAKER_04]: definitely highly recommend the habit of going through a journal like be life changers with Kathy Coats, the gratitude journal.
25:55.322 --> 25:56.064
[SPEAKER_04]: I recommend this.
25:56.124 --> 25:58.048
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm seeing it and it's really great.
25:58.088 --> 26:02.657
[SPEAKER_04]: Those microhabits are really good and then turn into really big habits.
26:02.717 --> 26:05.983
[SPEAKER_04]: If you make it past 21 days,
26:05.963 --> 26:07.565
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how they formed to have it.
26:07.645 --> 26:14.716
[SPEAKER_02]: If I wanted to have it every day, being grateful at the end, reflecting, just like we've done, reflected on the year.
26:15.176 --> 26:23.348
[SPEAKER_02]: So you just reflect on the day, you know, those things just like we did, we reflect on the year, what went well, what didn't go well, and then you just surrender it.
26:23.328 --> 26:24.570
[SPEAKER_02]: and then start the next day.
26:24.590 --> 26:26.592
[SPEAKER_04]: You can convert this into a prayer as well.
26:26.612 --> 26:27.573
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm talking about.
26:27.633 --> 26:28.234
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to prayer.
26:28.294 --> 26:30.997
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what we're going to be doing in 2026.
26:31.218 --> 26:36.004
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking forward to seeing what else is going to happen here at JT Visuals.
26:36.084 --> 26:37.045
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a lot of fun.
26:37.585 --> 26:37.886
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
26:37.966 --> 26:40.689
[SPEAKER_02]: What you, your intentions are right here.
26:40.729 --> 26:45.916
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're on YouTube, let us know what your intentions are for this next year.
26:46.136 --> 26:49.680
[SPEAKER_02]: And tell us one thing that you're very grateful for in 2025.
26:49.800 --> 26:52.744
[SPEAKER_02]: We are thankful for you.
26:52.724 --> 27:03.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I am so grateful you've been with me for the whole year to see how B-LiveChangers has come together and I'm looking forward to you guys watching many more episodes in 2026.
27:04.178 --> 27:13.585
[SPEAKER_02]: With that happy new year and thank you for watching another episode of B-LiveChangers and we'll see you next year!
00:00.031 --> 00:06.749
[SPEAKER_02]: And the nice free thing about that is, if you didn't get it all done, you can put it on the calendar for later.
00:06.809 --> 00:07.150
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
00:07.631 --> 00:08.694
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
00:08.754 --> 00:09.175
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
00:09.195 --> 00:10.499
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
00:10.699 --> 00:11.762
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my goodness.
00:16.973 --> 00:20.577
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, hello and welcome back to be like changers.
00:20.917 --> 00:21.939

00:27.905 --> 00:28.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you do this?
00:28.946 --> 00:29.407
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, your walls.
00:30.128 --> 00:30.228
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
00:30.248 --> 00:31.209
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back.
00:31.309 --> 00:34.032
[SPEAKER_02]: I say we got to hint in the year strong.
00:34.092 --> 00:34.873
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying.
00:34.913 --> 00:35.834
[SPEAKER_02]: Got in the year strong.
00:35.854 --> 00:37.536
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got to have one of the best guests back.
00:37.976 --> 00:39.538
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
00:39.518 --> 00:44.626
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, first of all, you know, this has been my year of I tell you so much has happened this year.
00:44.646 --> 00:49.554
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, first of all, we got introduced and that's be life changers came this year.
00:49.854 --> 00:59.890
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I thought what better way to end the year than to have you on and because you don't know, it's all about gratitude and how grateful I am for you for helping to make.
00:59.870 --> 01:07.577
[SPEAKER_02]: be life-changing as possible, because if I wouldn't have met you, we wouldn't want to know what my videos would end up looking like at the house.
01:07.617 --> 01:27.396
[SPEAKER_04]: So you guys have this professional, wonderful studio with everything looking great, and that's all because of you and your team, and I thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.
01:27.376 --> 01:29.781
[SPEAKER_04]: make one that's more about life change.
01:30.582 --> 01:33.588
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you come in, you're like, I want to call it be life changers.
01:33.828 --> 01:37.635
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it was like, okay, that's so fitting to what I was wanting.
01:37.675 --> 01:42.404
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you prayed before we, you know, shoot on the podcast.
01:42.504 --> 01:46.532
[SPEAKER_04]: And I wanted that kind of person to be on
01:46.512 --> 01:51.138
[SPEAKER_04]: our list of the network and everything, and so I brought you here too.
01:51.518 --> 01:55.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, start in, but what if you didn't have to hunt for your next client?
01:56.064 --> 02:10.543
[SPEAKER_04]: What if there's a way that you could spend less than three hours per month, even as a busy entrepreneur, and start attracting your ideal clients, so that they come to you, rather than you, have to always go to them.
02:10.824 --> 02:14.308
[SPEAKER_04]: You could be the best of your industry, but we want to make you,
02:14.288 --> 02:15.309
[SPEAKER_04]: the best known.
02:15.550 --> 02:34.453
[SPEAKER_04]: And you can get started on this for free on our website go to JTVisuals.com and look for our ideal client profile generator we've trained AI to come up with who you should reach out to and who you need to become to be that go to expert of your industry and city.
02:34.574 --> 02:35.495
[SPEAKER_04]: So what are you waiting for?
02:35.595 --> 02:43.705
[SPEAKER_04]: Go to JTVisuals.com, this JTVS, UALS.com, JTVS, UALS.com,
02:43.685 --> 02:44.826
[SPEAKER_04]: I just started today.
02:45.187 --> 02:48.051
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you look at how God brings people together.
02:48.111 --> 02:53.818
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't believe in that any, when you meet someone, I think there's a divine reason for meeting people.
02:54.499 --> 02:56.722
[SPEAKER_02]: And there was this, not, not chance that we met.
02:57.103 --> 03:12.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, last year, as I said on many podcasts, and if you know, he personally, that this year was a pivot for me, because at the beginning of the year, the Lord really let me know to lead with
03:12.743 --> 03:15.387
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is literally what has happened this year.
03:15.447 --> 03:16.408
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, literally.
03:16.748 --> 03:17.089
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
03:17.149 --> 03:24.639
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, isn't it cool that you can use a podcast as a platform to set the stage of where you're going?
03:24.899 --> 03:29.426
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, the more you talk, you get better at the public speaking, you can bring on people.
03:29.466 --> 03:31.188
[SPEAKER_04]: You have amazing conversations with them.
03:31.228 --> 03:32.830
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a reason to meet with them, too.
03:33.111 --> 03:33.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, right.
03:34.493 --> 03:36.195
[SPEAKER_02]: No, come on the show and we'll talk.
03:36.215 --> 03:37.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, come on the show.
03:37.116 --> 03:38.478
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk, you know, shout to you out.
03:38.658 --> 03:41.502
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's amazing.
03:42.443 --> 03:46.166
[SPEAKER_02]: It floors me to see how far it has even come.
03:46.226 --> 03:53.333
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have such a heart for businesses and small businesses and wanting people to know about them and the community to know about them.
03:53.873 --> 04:04.903
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I've had some really great guests on this year and kind of reflecting back as you know, as this year I at first at the beginning of the year it seemed kind of slow to me.
04:04.923 --> 04:06.905
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this was the cool thing.
04:06.945 --> 04:12.450
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it started as in business that actually paid me,
04:12.430 --> 04:29.868
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was like, you know, the podcast, well, you know, the things, it was just kind of like what's going on and then I ran into Monique was most sophisticated events and went to one of her events and then in that and, you know, with business with wisdom and wisdom and another great day and wisdom.
04:30.029 --> 04:30.991
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
04:31.031 --> 04:31.131
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
04:31.111 --> 04:33.715
[SPEAKER_04]: That that was one of the more memorable ones too.
04:33.735 --> 04:34.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:35.297 --> 04:53.102
[SPEAKER_02]: And so God brought me a team which I have been praying for for a long time And so it was just like everything started to fit in place just like he said leave would be life changers and everything else will fall in place And it literally has like they're coming on and Monique's gonna this next year is gonna be taking on and
04:53.082 --> 05:21.992
[SPEAKER_02]: You know the event side of things so I'm really trying to get events out of my name Like so when people say what do you do Kathy I'm I'm a small business promoter an event strategist I'm trying to guess yes events out my mouth because you know I really and moving into wanting to help people find their God give in purpose and make a plan and business in life And yes, I you know sometimes you have these gifts talents and abilities and it's hard to let your gift go sometimes And let somebody else run with it
05:21.972 --> 05:23.554
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know if you've ever found that.
05:23.714 --> 05:25.316
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a team as like that.
05:25.436 --> 05:31.243
[SPEAKER_04]: It reminds me of literal running where you got to get through the hurdle, the mental hurdle of, man, I don't want to run, why am I doing this?
05:31.323 --> 05:35.268
[SPEAKER_04]: I hate this, and but you push through that, and then you can just run forever.
05:35.328 --> 05:38.532
[SPEAKER_04]: So that wall, I feel like it's like that.
05:38.732 --> 05:49.245
[SPEAKER_04]: And so once you start handing things over, it feels like a loss of purpose a little bit, but then you check yourself, and you're like, look at the purpose I was able to give now.
05:49.225 --> 06:02.979
[SPEAKER_04]: And then that starts getting more rewarding and so now I'm on that side where I feel like I can go forever and pass off things No problem and I don't care if someone thinks I'm lazy or not, you know Because sometimes that would be my insecurity But that's me too.
06:03.239 --> 06:04.140
[SPEAKER_02]: It's being amazing.
06:04.160 --> 06:05.021
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not what you do it.
06:05.041 --> 06:05.942
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I could just do it.
06:05.962 --> 06:07.023
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you read this email?
06:07.043 --> 06:16.313
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, well, why don't you do it like you're telling me what to say why don't you just like well It's because we need to practice the delegation and eventually you'll pick it up and be able to do it without me
06:16.293 --> 06:44.747
[SPEAKER_04]: There's reason behind it and things can't always rely on me, even if it's that like little small task and you feel like that person that you're just I don't know there's there's insecurities to it as far as how you think people see you when you do that well you do because you don't want that I mean I'm so glad you said that because I freeze me thank you because like it is it's like one of those things I don't want to be known as well.
06:44.727 --> 06:52.059
[SPEAKER_02]: even when I taught my kids you know how to clean or whatever growing up I felt like we're going to do this all as a team like we were and I still did stuff.
06:52.540 --> 07:04.660
[SPEAKER_02]: We are still doing things but we're doing something else and I don't know why that's been the hardest thing for me to let go is like it's okay to say you're just going to run that and I want it done this by see you later like you said write that email please
07:04.640 --> 07:23.658
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but it is really hard, but I got sent the right team because um, and as a runner as you know like I mean like the basically she'll grab something and run and Monique she's that has this way of just like okay Kathy, I already did it like what it was just being like that's like me.
07:23.678 --> 07:24.819
[SPEAKER_03]: I had that the other day too.
07:24.899 --> 07:29.704
[SPEAKER_04]: Really what is our producer here and she's like, I already did that.
07:29.804 --> 07:33.347
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, yes, that's awesome.
07:33.327 --> 07:34.129
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is.
07:34.671 --> 07:41.049
[SPEAKER_02]: It is great skill and that used to be my strong point when I work for other people because they didn't even have to ask me what's already done.
07:41.069 --> 07:48.450
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, how did you know how to do this, but I had never ran into somebody else that could do that for me and I have two people who do.
07:48.430 --> 07:54.279
[SPEAKER_02]: And so now I'm feeling like, but then again, I wrestle with that, do they think I'm not doing anything?
07:54.499 --> 07:56.502
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, why is that a ways in the back of our head?
07:56.522 --> 07:57.063
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
07:57.323 --> 07:59.466
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, like, it hits their naturally for me.
07:59.907 --> 08:06.717
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're just embedded into that in the way we're raised in the culture and just humanity, sin nature probably has a big role in that.
08:07.478 --> 08:09.882
[SPEAKER_04]: The devil probably has a role in that.
08:09.862 --> 08:17.873
[SPEAKER_04]: But at the same time, you can practice how you handle that and how you respond to it.
08:18.093 --> 08:18.654
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
08:18.674 --> 08:22.439
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's the Bible scripture is a tarmac taking thoughts captive.
08:22.660 --> 08:22.860
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
08:22.880 --> 08:23.881
[SPEAKER_04]: So I've got you call me this.
08:23.942 --> 08:29.329
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to do it and I'm going to live out the obedience even if my brain is wanting me to think this way.
08:29.770 --> 08:32.173
[SPEAKER_04]: And then eventually it's like a Tony Robbins thing.
08:32.153 --> 08:37.462
[SPEAKER_04]: where you think it over and over, you're telling yourself a story over and over and over.
08:37.522 --> 08:46.357
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you do that in a positive way, it's scientifically proven that the narrow pathways or whatever, I'll sounding super smart for a second.
08:46.638 --> 08:48.120
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I saw that.
08:48.286 --> 08:56.319
[SPEAKER_04]: the way the track that our brain waves go through becomes the area of least resistance is what is going to choose.
08:57.180 --> 09:06.295
[SPEAKER_04]: So therefore when you think more positive or you learn to handle some of these thoughts that come in naturally,
09:06.275 --> 09:12.924
[SPEAKER_04]: the more you exercise that and the more reps you do, the easier it is later to handle that.
09:13.164 --> 09:16.909
[SPEAKER_04]: And I feel like I've gotten to a point where I've been able to practice it a lot.
09:17.350 --> 09:17.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
09:17.811 --> 09:19.293
[SPEAKER_04]: And then it's my favorite word right now.
09:19.613 --> 09:21.676
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it my favorite word of 2025, guys?
09:21.696 --> 09:22.937
[SPEAKER_04]: Like your favorite?
09:23.318 --> 09:24.840
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a tenacity.
09:24.820 --> 09:26.644
[SPEAKER_02]: tenacity, I like it.
09:27.065 --> 09:36.447
[SPEAKER_04]: Such a word that's been missing for a long time and I've been looking for opportunities to practice that even more because I thought I was good about not carrying what others think in the good way.
09:36.828 --> 09:37.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
09:37.229 --> 09:38.873
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I get that.
09:39.554 --> 09:42.441
[SPEAKER_04]: But most of the time the realization is
09:42.421 --> 09:44.526
[SPEAKER_04]: they're not even thinking of me.
09:45.008 --> 09:47.073
[SPEAKER_04]: It's me thinking of what they think.
09:47.374 --> 09:47.574
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
09:47.594 --> 09:49.399
[SPEAKER_04]: Not what they're actually thinking.
09:49.419 --> 09:49.820
[SPEAKER_02]: It's true.
09:50.221 --> 09:56.417
[SPEAKER_04]: So once I realize that, then it's just practicing the tenacity of when someone tells me something I don't like.
09:57.079 --> 09:59.164
[SPEAKER_04]: How do I handle that?
09:59.144 --> 10:00.768
[SPEAKER_04]: And then it's like, that's so good.
10:00.788 --> 10:15.567
[SPEAKER_04]: So I got to go point where like, you know you get that, like I think it's like an anxious feeling or an anxiety and something like flushes through that feeling when someone says something you just disagree with or you don't like it or they're very confrontational.
10:16.019 --> 10:22.288
[SPEAKER_04]: that kind of has gone away, not like completely, but it's gone away and haven't felt that in a long time.
10:22.708 --> 10:22.929
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
10:23.429 --> 10:24.230
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's good.
10:24.250 --> 10:25.853
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm gonna have to put it in practice.
10:25.893 --> 10:30.359
[SPEAKER_04]: But then I felt it today because I haven't felt it in a long time.
10:30.800 --> 10:31.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.
10:31.300 --> 10:32.322
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, oh, there it is.
10:32.562 --> 10:38.831
[SPEAKER_04]: And it felt like that movie, anxiety coming back, or whatever, like the, what's that movie, the cartoon?
10:40.173 --> 10:41.875
[SPEAKER_04]: With all those emotions.
10:41.956 --> 10:46.282
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, oh my goodness, it's my grandbaby's loves that movie inside out.
10:46.422 --> 10:48.805
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, why am I going to get into the browns?
10:48.826 --> 10:49.747
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to get anxiety.
10:49.767 --> 10:50.648
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, anxiety.
10:50.688 --> 10:51.369
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that one.
10:51.750 --> 10:52.891
[SPEAKER_02]: That hit home.
10:53.071 --> 10:54.013
[SPEAKER_02]: I watched that.
10:54.033 --> 10:55.194
[SPEAKER_02]: Watch that cartoon.
10:55.214 --> 10:59.540
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it wise is cartoon speaking to me because I said, do I look that crazy?
11:00.061 --> 11:01.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Do I look like anxiety?
11:03.033 --> 11:06.919
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I actually got my TikTok pretty positive in this helped.
11:07.019 --> 11:17.937
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you do actually train your algorithm and get those people who are life-seeking people like you on this podcast, go and favor it all this stuff, and then go and find all the other people.
11:18.017 --> 11:19.760
[SPEAKER_04]: Tony Robbins is good.
11:19.800 --> 11:20.261
[SPEAKER_04]: I like him.
11:20.421 --> 11:24.308
[SPEAKER_04]: He's always like, don't say this, say this, and there's some other speech people.
11:25.289 --> 11:30.137
[SPEAKER_04]: So in business, I've learned how to say things more positively.
11:30.117 --> 11:37.552
[SPEAKER_04]: and there's no pressure either because you're called to be you, and you're always ever evolving changing persons.
11:38.033 --> 11:47.191
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, and I feel like, you know, I always have to remind myself, give yourself the same grace you give everybody else.
11:47.211 --> 11:48.193
[SPEAKER_04]: That's so good.
11:48.427 --> 11:56.616
[SPEAKER_02]: because I do, I think I do that well, show people grace a lot of times, but I don't show myself real good grace.
11:56.636 --> 11:57.757
[SPEAKER_04]: And one is that, you know?
11:57.777 --> 11:58.879
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, what is that about?
11:58.919 --> 12:00.841
[SPEAKER_02]: Like why am I so hard on myself?
12:01.321 --> 12:03.324
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, tell everybody else, oh, that's not worries.
12:03.384 --> 12:04.385
[SPEAKER_02]: That's one of my things.
12:04.425 --> 12:04.966
[SPEAKER_02]: No worries.
12:05.126 --> 12:05.786
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not a big deal.
12:06.087 --> 12:07.929
[SPEAKER_02]: I got you, it's not a big deal, no worries.
12:08.109 --> 12:10.191
[SPEAKER_02]: But when it comes to me, what were you thinking?
12:10.211 --> 12:11.713
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it was not no worries to me.
12:12.714 --> 12:14.376
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, so yeah, no, but you know.
12:14.596 --> 12:17.860
[SPEAKER_04]: So I was like, what would you tell yourself if you were the life coach of yourself?
12:17.840 --> 12:18.761
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, exactly.
12:19.082 --> 12:20.804
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, practice what we preach, I guess.
12:20.824 --> 12:21.765
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
12:21.865 --> 12:23.508
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, tell our kids about the time.
12:24.028 --> 12:25.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, practice what we preach.
12:25.270 --> 12:26.331
[SPEAKER_04]: Do what I say, not what I do.
12:27.313 --> 12:29.355
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, well, we're supposed to model things.
12:29.375 --> 12:30.477
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
12:30.557 --> 12:34.442
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not thinking maybe in 2026, that's what I'm going to have to look for a word for that.
12:34.602 --> 12:36.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm waiting for my word.
12:36.385 --> 12:38.407
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I always got a word for the year, you know?
12:38.708 --> 12:39.088
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
12:39.108 --> 12:41.552
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's like, was my word going to be for next year?
12:41.592 --> 12:41.952
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what?
12:42.633 --> 12:44.275
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a good idea.
12:44.295 --> 12:46.378
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause did you have a word for 2025?
12:46.561 --> 12:48.383
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and I'm going to ask me and follow me to it.
12:48.403 --> 12:49.604
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to try to forget what it was.
12:50.205 --> 12:51.186
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you need time to remember?
12:51.346 --> 12:52.988
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I'll come to me in a second.
12:53.008 --> 12:54.049
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, so remember my word?
12:54.169 --> 12:54.910
[SPEAKER_04]: What is yours, tell me?
12:54.930 --> 12:56.772
[SPEAKER_04]: And I remember because I told people.
12:56.792 --> 12:58.374
[SPEAKER_04]: So if I didn't say, I would remember.
12:58.414 --> 12:58.754
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, right.
12:59.215 --> 13:00.456
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's important to tell other people.
13:01.958 --> 13:02.398
[SPEAKER_04]: Move.
13:02.418 --> 13:03.079
[SPEAKER_02]: Move.
13:03.379 --> 13:04.841
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, all right.
13:05.161 --> 13:08.204
[SPEAKER_04]: And in this guy was like, well, what do you think that means?
13:08.685 --> 13:09.666
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like,
13:09.646 --> 13:15.433
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I think it's multifaceted, and move is literally on moving, like we're supposed to move this year.
13:15.453 --> 13:18.296
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's actually kind of a crazy story there.
13:18.336 --> 13:21.600
[SPEAKER_04]: How I thought God was telling us to move.
13:22.241 --> 13:24.444
[SPEAKER_04]: And then so we decided to.
13:24.484 --> 13:28.909
[SPEAKER_04]: And then the program we were running to keep going.
13:28.969 --> 13:30.291
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to call the next day.
13:30.311 --> 13:35.037
[SPEAKER_04]: And they said, hey, we're going to, like the apartments are being sold.
13:35.057 --> 13:36.178
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to have to.
13:36.198 --> 13:39.602
[SPEAKER_04]: They're probably not going to do the program that you guys were doing.
13:39.970 --> 13:50.342
[SPEAKER_04]: And normally, that should freak people out, but the day before we got that call, we had this piece thought of like, God's gonna have us move, literally move from apartments to a house.
13:50.703 --> 13:51.243
[SPEAKER_01]: And wow.
13:51.304 --> 14:00.935
[SPEAKER_04]: So that we should be freaking out and they're like, you have like 30 to 60 days to move or to get out over for you find out or pay for whatever it was.
14:01.376 --> 14:02.277
[SPEAKER_04]: It's where in partnership.
14:03.158 --> 14:04.399
[SPEAKER_04]: And so we're like, you know what?
14:04.880 --> 14:09.285
[SPEAKER_04]: We already decided, we already know where we're going the day before.
14:09.265 --> 14:11.569
[SPEAKER_04]: that's easy for you to tell us that bad news.
14:13.172 --> 14:13.332
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
14:13.353 --> 14:17.340
[SPEAKER_04]: So that was one thing and then the other is we're like business and things like that.
14:18.001 --> 14:20.225
[SPEAKER_04]: This was the year that we built a team.
14:20.325 --> 14:21.147
[SPEAKER_04]: Was this your team year?
14:21.187 --> 14:22.189
[SPEAKER_04]: It seems like a team year.
14:22.249 --> 14:23.151
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a team year.
14:23.171 --> 14:24.453
[SPEAKER_02]: It must have been like a team year.
14:24.573 --> 14:24.794
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
14:25.034 --> 14:29.923
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and I'm trying to remember what I know the one thing I remember about words for the year,
14:29.903 --> 14:34.208
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like the last few years words has fused together this year.
14:34.488 --> 14:34.829
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
14:34.849 --> 14:48.986
[SPEAKER_02]: So like we always thought like Ella Vate was one of my words, a couple of you know, and then Catapult was Danielle and I, my best friend Danielle and I, we both got the same word one year was Catapult and that was just like a couple of years ago.
14:49.026 --> 14:52.410
[SPEAKER_02]: So Ella Vate Catapult and we were waiting for all these things to happen.
14:52.830 --> 14:59.218
[SPEAKER_02]: And we didn't see it within that year, but in 2025 and even at that,
14:59.198 --> 15:03.013
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, okay, I was waiting for that shift.
15:03.033 --> 15:10.322
[SPEAKER_02]: I was thinking, well, maybe it's just going to be like some of the others, the words that we're kind of coming together later, but this last quarter.
15:11.062 --> 15:13.024
[SPEAKER_02]: and that's where the catapult comes for.
15:13.264 --> 15:13.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
15:13.825 --> 15:17.168
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, you know, we literally elevated, like, you know, I elevated.
15:17.208 --> 15:20.351
[SPEAKER_02]: And my words that come from me are not just for me.
15:20.431 --> 15:22.573
[SPEAKER_02]: It's for my whole entire team.
15:22.633 --> 15:27.538
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, my, my vendors, the businesses that follow me and things like that.
15:28.018 --> 15:31.722
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm always like really challenging them with a word.
15:31.762 --> 15:33.924
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I want you to elevate what you're doing.
15:34.084 --> 15:39.870
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, don't just see yourself where you wanna be and walk it as if you're already there.
15:39.850 --> 15:41.533
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I was practicing.
15:41.553 --> 15:42.915
[SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's so good.
15:43.076 --> 15:44.017
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was really proud.
15:44.037 --> 15:51.090
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, if you're wanting to be like, if you're in a job and you want to be the manager, if you're a young person and you want to be the manager, you need to dress like the manager.
15:51.872 --> 15:54.957
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, if you want to be a owner, then you act like a owner.
15:55.072 --> 15:57.075
[SPEAKER_02]: of a business before you ever are.
15:57.596 --> 15:59.960
[SPEAKER_02]: So wherever you want to see yourself, you want to elevate.
16:00.020 --> 16:10.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Not only that, elevate the friend you're around when you're networking, get with the people that not so much thing like you, because they're going to tell you what you want to know.
16:10.738 --> 16:17.129
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to find someone who is ahead of you, that is going to be bold enough to tell you what you need to know.
16:17.329 --> 16:17.670
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:18.275 --> 16:20.097
[SPEAKER_02]: because I'm a mentor.
16:20.138 --> 16:23.963
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I have, it's easy to get cheerleaders all around you.
16:24.023 --> 16:24.744
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, great job.
16:24.764 --> 16:38.983
[SPEAKER_02]: You're doing a good job, like, you know, and they're not going to tell you that you have lipstick on your teeth or, I mean, they're just not getting you, but I mean, I want someone that's around me that's going to say, hey, Kathy, you know, you do this really well, but if you ever tried this,
16:38.963 --> 16:46.495
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, I think I foresee this but to help your business to grow, you know, I'm satisfying, you know, elevate, you know, exactly.
16:46.515 --> 16:55.310
[SPEAKER_02]: And when the team came, it's like, you know, I just, they pushed me, you know, I moved fast as it is, but to be consistent in what I was already doing.
16:55.570 --> 16:56.772
[SPEAKER_02]: You see them saying, yeah.
16:56.973 --> 16:59.537
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, um, you know, um,
16:59.517 --> 17:02.422
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was my word for the years to be consistent.
17:02.462 --> 17:03.464
[SPEAKER_02]: Consistency.
17:03.744 --> 17:04.946
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew it came to me.
17:05.287 --> 17:06.168
[SPEAKER_02]: That was what it was.
17:06.329 --> 17:07.250
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I have.
17:07.310 --> 17:08.893
[SPEAKER_02]: This year has been consistent.
17:09.113 --> 17:11.698
[SPEAKER_02]: I consistently putting on pocket.
17:11.738 --> 17:13.501
[SPEAKER_02]: And every, I mean, I've been consistent.
17:13.982 --> 17:16.646
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we have, you know, found a rhythm that works.
17:16.706 --> 17:20.152
[SPEAKER_02]: And then consistent posting on my social media more consistent.
17:20.192 --> 17:24.900
[SPEAKER_04]: Literally putting things on the calendar for me on my other podcast is like,
17:24.880 --> 17:26.783
[SPEAKER_04]: that helps me with consistency.
17:27.564 --> 17:29.067
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, oh, we're meeting at this time.
17:29.347 --> 17:30.790
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, we always shoot this time.
17:30.850 --> 17:34.115
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you join, you know, and then that keeps consistency, too.
17:34.495 --> 17:35.517
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes.
17:35.737 --> 17:43.831
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes it's being too variable and too flexible, can actually stop you from doing all the things that you could be effective for.
17:43.891 --> 17:49.099
[SPEAKER_04]: And so it is like this cross of plan,
17:50.024 --> 17:52.706
[SPEAKER_04]: and flexible, so bamboo structure.
17:53.067 --> 17:53.647
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
17:53.667 --> 17:54.588
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's the best.
17:54.908 --> 17:55.809
[SPEAKER_04]: So do it.
17:56.370 --> 17:57.811
[SPEAKER_04]: Things on a calendar can move.
17:58.492 --> 17:58.892
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
17:58.912 --> 18:00.974
[SPEAKER_04]: But put it in, like, but at least have a plan.
18:01.014 --> 18:01.975
[SPEAKER_02]: At least have a plan.
18:02.095 --> 18:02.275
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
18:02.635 --> 18:03.917
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like, they have a plan.
18:04.237 --> 18:10.643
[SPEAKER_04]: He used to be so daunting for me to look at a calendar and see that there's one thing on there.
18:10.683 --> 18:13.865
[SPEAKER_04]: And the variable of not knowing how long it is.
18:14.546 --> 18:16.188
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like two o'clock.
18:16.208 --> 18:20.031
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's maybe one or two hours long.
18:20.011 --> 18:35.955
[SPEAKER_04]: And then if something else came up for that day, I would say it was busy because I wasn't so sure right right of the rest of it got to So my consistency got way better and it's like I can put more on the calendar for this day right Like you don't a lot more.
18:35.975 --> 18:37.397
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you can do a lot more.
18:37.677 --> 18:45.068
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and the nice freeing thing about that is If you didn't get it all done you can put it on the calendar for later.
18:45.128 --> 18:45.529
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
18:46.910 --> 18:47.732
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
18:47.752 --> 18:48.934
[SPEAKER_04]: Mind blowing.
18:48.954 --> 18:49.575
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my goodness.
18:49.856 --> 18:50.618
[SPEAKER_04]: You can move it.
18:50.638 --> 19:02.241
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why I like saying pencil it in, sometimes on the business, sometimes it's not good, but like on a, for if I'm unsure, but like, you know, I'll default and pencil this in if something changes all of you know, right?
19:02.261 --> 19:05.087
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's a way for if it's a loose commitment.
19:05.253 --> 19:05.533
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
19:05.654 --> 19:15.409
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it just helps us to keep, you know, moving one foot forward and keeping going and you find that you get a whole lot more accomplished when you do that.
19:15.469 --> 19:18.533
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you don't get it crossed off, it's fine.
19:18.814 --> 19:20.957
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a lot of that stuff can be moved.
19:21.037 --> 19:23.842
[SPEAKER_02]: And but you have those hard solids that you can't move.
19:24.262 --> 19:24.482
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
19:24.523 --> 19:26.405
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, and those are hard solids, you know?
19:26.466 --> 19:27.026
[SPEAKER_04]: Those are.
19:27.407 --> 19:27.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
19:27.527 --> 19:28.088
[SPEAKER_02]: What's that?
19:28.068 --> 19:28.649
[SPEAKER_04]: family.
19:29.071 --> 19:33.462
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, all of your values like you've done core values for your business do core values for your family.
19:33.502 --> 19:35.787
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, one's faith family and fun.
19:36.389 --> 19:38.213
[SPEAKER_04]: Those things we have to have that.
19:38.554 --> 19:38.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:38.755 --> 19:41.101
[SPEAKER_04]: And if we're not putting time into doing that.
19:41.261 --> 19:43.146
[SPEAKER_04]: So I like I've been saying this lately too.
19:43.186 --> 19:44.068
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like,
19:44.048 --> 19:51.117
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're busy, correct, correct, busy, you should be busy with the right things, so you don't feel busy.
19:51.217 --> 19:58.607
[SPEAKER_04]: Like maybe there's on alarm going off and things like, hey, I got to go over here to hear, I got to go somewhere and you're on the move a lot, move.
19:58.707 --> 19:59.208
[SPEAKER_04]: There's my word.
19:59.388 --> 20:04.795
[SPEAKER_04]: But if you can put it all in, you can say that you're busy spending time with family.
20:04.815 --> 20:06.978
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say you're busy with free time.
20:07.498 --> 20:07.859
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
20:07.879 --> 20:10.282
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say you're busy with a mede.
20:10.722 --> 20:12.705
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say you're busy with
20:12.803 --> 20:15.577
[SPEAKER_04]: I need to serve or this or that.
20:15.657 --> 20:21.345
[SPEAKER_04]: Like if you just start putting it on the calendar, you run your calendar and then no one else will.
20:21.528 --> 20:21.828
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
20:22.409 --> 20:26.113
[SPEAKER_04]: That was like the a big key thing for this year for me.
20:26.453 --> 20:27.514
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's so important.
20:27.995 --> 20:28.896
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think that's it.
20:28.916 --> 20:38.626
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's really important to make sure that you have consistency one and then riding it on your calendar and keeping yourself on track.
20:38.866 --> 20:49.678
[SPEAKER_02]: That's when those routines come in spot because if the more routines you have for the important things in the morning, like getting your routine going and then your calendar starts, you know?
20:49.658 --> 20:57.369
[SPEAKER_02]: those things that don't get done, I always go back to the scripture and up today has enough worries of it.
20:58.050 --> 21:07.765
[SPEAKER_02]: So worry about what you can get done today and then whatever you can't cast it to the Lord so render it all and start tomorrow with a new page.
21:08.025 --> 21:11.129
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a flipping's two 14 I love that one so you don't worry about anything.
21:11.710 --> 21:11.911
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
21:12.151 --> 21:13.573
[SPEAKER_04]: Instead, pray about everything.
21:13.756 --> 21:14.417
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
21:14.437 --> 21:15.960
[SPEAKER_04]: And some translations say anxious.
21:16.601 --> 21:16.761
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
21:17.042 --> 21:19.826
[SPEAKER_04]: And so what's the tool that you do?
21:20.347 --> 21:24.093
[SPEAKER_04]: What are you use when you're worrying or feeling anxious?
21:24.534 --> 21:24.795
[SPEAKER_04]: Prayer?
21:24.995 --> 21:25.275
[SPEAKER_02]: Prayer.
21:25.656 --> 21:26.157
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
21:26.497 --> 21:27.439
[SPEAKER_02]: The word prayer.
21:27.820 --> 21:28.080
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
21:28.100 --> 21:37.536
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I have lots of little scriptures I've written all over the house because I have fought anxiety and still it has tried to come back this year or some.
21:37.516 --> 21:47.419
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I put my fair cards back up and our my scripture cards, I mean, I do a lot of prayer, but my scripture cards are very important to me that they're there.
21:47.440 --> 21:47.901
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:47.921 --> 21:49.384
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and I helped.
21:49.404 --> 21:55.238
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like I didn't you say this too, because we've brought up anxiety a little bit is just.
21:55.690 --> 21:59.135
[SPEAKER_04]: It's an actual emotion, let's put there.
21:59.655 --> 21:59.855
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
22:00.276 --> 22:02.158
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's good reasons that it's there, too.
22:02.459 --> 22:02.919
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
22:03.040 --> 22:09.047
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's like a relationship of your anxiety, and sometimes that becomes your gut reaction stuff.
22:09.068 --> 22:09.969
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's not all bad.
22:10.009 --> 22:10.589
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
22:10.990 --> 22:17.879
[SPEAKER_04]: But for the most part, how we talk about it, usually, we're talking about the bad side of it and letting it control us versus the opposite.
22:18.240 --> 22:19.301
[SPEAKER_02]: Or what we do with it?
22:19.581 --> 22:20.162
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
22:20.142 --> 22:22.667
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think it's really important for me to jump off a cliff.
22:22.927 --> 22:24.330
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it happens.
22:24.350 --> 22:24.651
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
22:24.891 --> 22:25.152
[SPEAKER_03]: Why?
22:25.412 --> 22:26.454
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's our instinct.
22:26.474 --> 22:27.116
[SPEAKER_03]: It's danger.
22:27.296 --> 22:27.997
[SPEAKER_03]: That's danger.
22:28.318 --> 22:28.959
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:28.979 --> 22:29.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:29.440 --> 22:36.714
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think a lot of times when I'm feeling that, a lot of times, I even had to remind myself, you got too much on your plate.
22:36.795 --> 22:42.606
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going back to my calendar, putting too much on there and being okay with it.
22:43.042 --> 22:44.264
[SPEAKER_02]: I could let something go.
22:44.284 --> 22:47.428
[SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of times I bring that on myself.
22:47.488 --> 22:54.818
[SPEAKER_02]: Not saying that everybody, that's not for everyone, but I mean just saying in some situations for myself, I have just put too much on my plate.
22:55.499 --> 23:02.429
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I feel like I have to have this done for this person that done here and I gotta get my family and all this stuff and I'm overcommitted and all these things.
23:02.609 --> 23:09.218
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, you know, yeah, you know, so just making sure that you're able to let that all go.
23:09.316 --> 23:30.210
[SPEAKER_04]: So a little bit of a reflection, then shift some gears is looking at when you first started to where you are now I've definitely seen that consistency and it's really awesome and now you're consistent on social media as well, but also some other things is what I'm staring at right here.
23:31.490 --> 23:32.371
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I know.
23:32.471 --> 23:36.217
[SPEAKER_02]: If you were to ever thought, like, I always knew that I was supposed to write a book.
23:36.477 --> 23:42.987
[SPEAKER_02]: And all of those things about, you know, um, but when my team came in, they were like, Kathy, you're going to put it in place.
23:43.187 --> 23:43.788
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yes.
23:43.868 --> 24:01.193
[SPEAKER_02]: So, coming up with the books and this, um, next year going to reflect and to look forward to our intention for next year is to take what we've already built and have some retreats, where we come together and teach people about
24:01.173 --> 24:12.057
[SPEAKER_02]: And like we today, we're talking about reflecting and gratitude and being grateful, and that's what that that turns all about and it doesn't have to be long.
24:12.137 --> 24:17.309
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody thinks journaling has to be, I don't have time because I'm going to sit down for 30 minutes to an hour.
24:17.369 --> 24:20.937
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we made this so that it could be done in less than 10 minutes.
24:20.917 --> 24:22.419
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like microjourn.
24:22.560 --> 24:23.301
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a microjourn.
24:23.321 --> 24:29.370
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's just to create that little habit, but that little habit adds up to becoming a lot.
24:29.771 --> 24:32.215
[SPEAKER_04]: Like if we did this every day, how long does this go a year?
24:32.275 --> 24:36.782
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, that's just, I think that's just a, I think it's 90 days.
24:36.762 --> 24:40.707
[SPEAKER_02]: because it's still not, but we can get more, but we can get, but we're, yeah, you're just getting in.
24:40.727 --> 24:41.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, right, right.
24:42.209 --> 24:44.992
[SPEAKER_04]: On the gratitude three things, like, so that's 270 things.
24:45.012 --> 24:47.715
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's a lot.
24:47.756 --> 24:49.978
[SPEAKER_04]: That you could look back and see what you were grateful for.
24:50.038 --> 25:05.217
[SPEAKER_04]: And some of you might find repeat patterns and stuff, but I think it's more cool because I'm not someone that goes back and looks at things I wrote down, but there's this visual memory and when you actually physically write,
25:05.737 --> 25:18.717
[SPEAKER_04]: you have more memory of what you did and so when you instead of thinking if you're grateful in your head and running those thoughts for just one second, this will be such a greater exercise.
25:18.777 --> 25:21.121
[SPEAKER_02]: When you're writing it, you're saying it to yourself.
25:21.441 --> 25:28.993
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're thinking about the things you're grateful for and as you write that, you're going to forget about the things that are troubling you.
25:28.973 --> 25:45.784
[SPEAKER_04]: you're going to forget about the things that you know all those negative thoughts we're putting positive thoughts in so that you know yeah so man if you want to start your new year off correctly and start your day every day from the new year
25:45.764 --> 25:54.481
[SPEAKER_04]: definitely highly recommend the habit of going through a journal like be life changers with Kathy Coats, the gratitude journal.
25:55.322 --> 25:56.064
[SPEAKER_04]: I recommend this.
25:56.124 --> 25:58.048
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm seeing it and it's really great.
25:58.088 --> 26:02.657
[SPEAKER_04]: Those microhabits are really good and then turn into really big habits.
26:02.717 --> 26:05.983
[SPEAKER_04]: If you make it past 21 days,
26:05.963 --> 26:07.565
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how they formed to have it.
26:07.645 --> 26:14.716
[SPEAKER_02]: If I wanted to have it every day, being grateful at the end, reflecting, just like we've done, reflected on the year.
26:15.176 --> 26:23.348
[SPEAKER_02]: So you just reflect on the day, you know, those things just like we did, we reflect on the year, what went well, what didn't go well, and then you just surrender it.
26:23.328 --> 26:24.570
[SPEAKER_02]: and then start the next day.
26:24.590 --> 26:26.592
[SPEAKER_04]: You can convert this into a prayer as well.
26:26.612 --> 26:27.573
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm talking about.
26:27.633 --> 26:28.234
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to prayer.
26:28.294 --> 26:30.997
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what we're going to be doing in 2026.
26:31.218 --> 26:36.004
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking forward to seeing what else is going to happen here at JT Visuals.
26:36.084 --> 26:37.045
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a lot of fun.
26:37.585 --> 26:37.886
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
26:37.966 --> 26:40.689
[SPEAKER_02]: What you, your intentions are right here.
26:40.729 --> 26:45.916
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're on YouTube, let us know what your intentions are for this next year.
26:46.136 --> 26:49.680
[SPEAKER_02]: And tell us one thing that you're very grateful for in 2025.
26:49.800 --> 26:52.744
[SPEAKER_02]: We are thankful for you.
26:52.724 --> 27:03.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I am so grateful you've been with me for the whole year to see how B-LiveChangers has come together and I'm looking forward to you guys watching many more episodes in 2026.
27:04.178 --> 27:13.585
[SPEAKER_02]: With that happy new year and thank you for watching another episode of B-LiveChangers and we'll see you next year!
