What It's Really Like Working For An Entrepreneur, From His Right Hand

WEBVTT

00:00.191 --> 00:03.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Most of the time, really good ideas, only some of them are stupid.

00:03.734 --> 00:06.155
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, like, cause of that, the turguth.

00:06.215 --> 00:09.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe says we need to do this somehow and you are the somehow, yes.

00:09.658 --> 00:12.040
[SPEAKER_01]: He's talking about feeling the peace during the storm.

00:12.060 --> 00:14.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I never understood that.

00:14.201 --> 00:16.503
[SPEAKER_01]: For the longest time I was like, what are you talking about?

00:17.223 --> 00:20.046
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just chaos all around me and I don't feel peaceful at all.

00:20.066 --> 00:22.647
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like I'm running around like a headless chicken.

00:32.314 --> 00:35.175
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey entrepreneurs, welcome back to the entrepreneur experience.

00:35.435 --> 00:36.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Azaria.

00:36.255 --> 00:40.197
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm with JT visuals and I am the production lead and today I have with me Kira.

00:40.517 --> 00:41.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi everyone.

00:41.418 --> 00:43.419
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Kira with Action Coach KC.

00:43.539 --> 00:46.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I work for Coach Joe and I am the manager of Outcomes.

00:47.080 --> 00:58.086
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically what that means is just Joe tells me this is what I need and I make it happen So definitely got to keep everything on track and make a plan for everything and my fair part is delegation.

00:58.706 --> 01:04.229
[SPEAKER_02]: What you told me earlier was that Joe says we need to do this somehow and you are the somehow Yes, awesome.

01:04.309 --> 01:04.629
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.

01:04.649 --> 01:10.412
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I just want to jump right in Kira I want you to just tell me Ron true, what is it really like working for Coach Joe?

01:11.172 --> 01:14.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Keotic It can be very chaotic, but it can be

01:15.743 --> 01:20.686
[SPEAKER_01]: So fulfilling, I mean, I'm not just saying that just because, you know, I work for him.

01:20.726 --> 01:38.795
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm saying that because I've seen the, well, I've seen the outcomes of the things that we do and I'm there for every single step of the process and it can just the work that we do and that we're able to bring to other people the sense of accomplishment that I get from this work is just amazing.

01:38.995 --> 01:39.535
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot of fun.

01:39.855 --> 01:40.436
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot of fun.

01:40.456 --> 01:40.836
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

01:41.216 --> 01:45.298
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a lot of interesting people that I wouldn't get to meet outside of this job.

01:45.458 --> 01:47.780
[SPEAKER_01]: What is it really like working for Jared?

01:49.102 --> 01:50.223
[SPEAKER_02]: It's also chaotic.

01:50.463 --> 01:52.184
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a mess, but I absolutely love it.

01:52.305 --> 01:54.647
[SPEAKER_02]: He has so many ideas and they're all so great.

01:54.727 --> 02:02.855
[SPEAKER_02]: We just have to decide what ideas are going to use now and what are we going to put in as Coach Joe would say, the parking lot, what are we going to save for later?

02:02.975 --> 02:09.661
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, weeding through those ideas with them, I feel like every day I come into the office, he has a new business that he's going to start.

02:10.762 --> 02:12.063
[SPEAKER_02]: It might be a coffee shop.

02:12.263 --> 02:17.406
[SPEAKER_02]: It might be another piece of video that we haven't explored yet that we're going to walk into.

02:17.486 --> 02:18.927
[SPEAKER_02]: It might be a Culver's franchise.

02:19.107 --> 02:26.010
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it could be absolutely anything, but there's always a new business, a new idea, a new branch, or we're going to rebrand everything.

02:26.170 --> 02:27.271
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to change our name.

02:27.431 --> 02:29.472
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're just going to, we have this whole new idea.

02:30.213 --> 02:34.855
[SPEAKER_02]: And so you just have to walk in and you have to be open to those ideas because they're

02:40.418 --> 02:41.660
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the raw truth.

02:42.562 --> 02:43.463
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the raw truth.

02:43.483 --> 02:44.665
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the raw truth.

02:44.685 --> 02:45.386
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the raw truth.

02:45.406 --> 02:46.948
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the raw truth.

02:46.988 --> 02:47.629
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the raw truth.

02:48.110 --> 02:49.051
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it's really fun.

02:49.091 --> 02:54.739
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just love when we get to that point where I see him come back to this same idea day after day.

02:55.160 --> 02:56.721
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, okay, this is a real one.

02:56.821 --> 02:57.742
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sticking with him.

02:57.942 --> 02:59.083
[SPEAKER_02]: He's prayed about this.

02:59.563 --> 03:01.745
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, God has spoke to him about this one.

03:01.785 --> 03:03.646
[SPEAKER_02]: This is something we need to make happen.

03:03.706 --> 03:05.187
[SPEAKER_02]: And so now let's become the somehow.

03:05.348 --> 03:06.348
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get it and done done.

03:06.368 --> 03:07.609
[SPEAKER_02]: We were talking about that earlier.

03:07.729 --> 03:08.770
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's make it happen.

03:08.790 --> 03:10.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's put some action steps to it, right?

03:10.832 --> 03:11.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

03:11.412 --> 03:11.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

03:12.212 --> 03:12.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes.

03:13.093 --> 03:17.714
[SPEAKER_01]: You said that you have to come into the office with an open mind, which is so true.

03:17.834 --> 03:22.236
[SPEAKER_01]: So true, because like you said, there's always a new adventure that they're trying to plan for.

03:22.256 --> 03:29.198
[SPEAKER_01]: They're trying to get to, but how does it feel when they keep coming back to the same idea every single day?

03:29.739 --> 03:33.280
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you actually get to see that the idea become a reality.

03:33.980 --> 03:38.021
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so cool because usually it takes forever, right?

03:38.061 --> 03:43.123
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's such massive ideas or you just get caught and there's road bumps to getting there.

03:43.363 --> 03:46.985
[SPEAKER_02]: But the other piece of that is that it gives you hope for the other ideas.

03:47.445 --> 03:51.146
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh, we did this one like we can do more.

03:51.386 --> 03:53.427
[SPEAKER_02]: We could make so much more happen out of this.

03:53.607 --> 03:53.827
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

03:54.247 --> 03:55.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

03:55.889 --> 04:00.273
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been so fun with Joe when I first started with an action coach.

04:00.774 --> 04:02.816
[SPEAKER_01]: We were just this teeny tiny little firm.

04:02.856 --> 04:04.518
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just me and Joe.

04:04.698 --> 04:07.241
[SPEAKER_01]: And then everyone's now has a wonderful life, Christy would come in.

04:07.321 --> 04:09.183
[SPEAKER_01]: I love his family.

04:11.368 --> 04:15.949
[SPEAKER_01]: They're crazy too, but they are amazing and they just, they know how to navigate that.

04:16.009 --> 04:19.970
[SPEAKER_01]: But, um, and then, of course, Jared, because he helps with all of our, a lot of our marketing.

04:20.610 --> 04:23.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And I had all of these hats that I know had to wear.

04:23.351 --> 04:24.752
[SPEAKER_01]: I was not just the admin.

04:24.772 --> 04:26.032
[SPEAKER_01]: I was also in sales.

04:26.072 --> 04:27.152
[SPEAKER_01]: I was doing their marketing.

04:27.192 --> 04:30.233
[SPEAKER_01]: I was doing, I was the client face and all of these different things.

04:30.333 --> 04:37.755
[SPEAKER_01]: And I had to learn how to navigate those different things, especially in the cases where I was not super good at.

04:38.315 --> 04:42.258
[SPEAKER_01]: That, like, I had to learn, oh, that's what it means to make a client gift.

04:42.458 --> 04:45.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I, I'm not going to call in gift giving.

04:45.120 --> 04:46.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even give giving.

04:46.100 --> 04:48.242
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, can you just spend a couple hours with me?

04:48.942 --> 04:49.583
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be great.

04:49.743 --> 04:52.185
[SPEAKER_01]: But to see where we are now, a year and a half.

04:52.625 --> 04:55.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a year and a half later, from that point, is amazing.

04:55.727 --> 04:57.608
[SPEAKER_01]: We were able to bring on two new coaches.

04:57.628 --> 05:03.332
[SPEAKER_01]: We were able to, and when Joe told me when I first started, I'm going to put you in a referral program.

05:03.392 --> 05:04.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And one day, I want you to be a coach.

05:07.455 --> 05:10.639
[SPEAKER_01]: gift you all of these amazing things, I thought.

05:11.300 --> 05:21.432
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome, but not for another like five years, but to be a part of the process of creating what we have in only a year and a half, where I again, I thought three years.

05:22.253 --> 05:25.297
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be able to get there in three years has just been amazing.

05:25.817 --> 05:28.639
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, we've been very blessed to be able to do that.

05:29.039 --> 05:37.485
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know that as we've been helping certain clients, like we helped a client that I was able to bring on back in March.

05:37.505 --> 05:43.068
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I say that I was very concerned about this client, I was very concerned about this client.

05:43.088 --> 05:43.609
[SPEAKER_01]: I was worried.

05:43.669 --> 05:44.830
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked so...

05:46.177 --> 05:50.339
[SPEAKER_01]: depressed and tired and weighed down and just again I was just heavy.

05:50.359 --> 05:51.600
[SPEAKER_01]: He was losing weight.

05:51.840 --> 05:52.720
[SPEAKER_01]: I was so scared.

05:52.780 --> 05:57.162
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just like, what are you like, are you really okay?

05:57.203 --> 06:01.785
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when he started working with Coach Joe, I saw a little bit of that weight lift off and I thought,

06:02.597 --> 06:03.077
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good.

06:03.537 --> 06:04.278
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, great.

06:04.298 --> 06:04.738
[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.

06:04.758 --> 06:05.498
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, progress.

06:05.619 --> 06:06.859
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got that weight off.

06:07.419 --> 06:12.302
[SPEAKER_01]: And then six months later, now he's going on vacation for the first time with three years.

06:12.502 --> 06:15.343
[SPEAKER_01]: He is gaining weight again.

06:15.684 --> 06:24.208
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's smiling and to have him tell us that it's because of the coaching that we have and because of the processes that we've put in place for

06:24.468 --> 06:31.110
[SPEAKER_01]: for him to be able to do these things, especially with his family, has been amazing because it's not just the business.

06:31.170 --> 06:32.970
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, your business is supposed to give you life.

06:33.010 --> 06:34.511
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not supposed to suck it out of you.

06:34.731 --> 06:35.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

06:35.271 --> 06:36.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

06:36.431 --> 06:37.732
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've really been able to see that.

06:37.992 --> 06:43.293
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, with others too, but this one in particular, I've been so grateful and I teared up with Joe Deoday.

06:43.313 --> 06:49.295
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just like, we're just so glad he's happy and he's working towards the goals that he had in place.

06:49.575 --> 06:51.575
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's amazing to see that influence

06:53.656 --> 07:02.380
[SPEAKER_02]: the entrepreneur life, but it's giving the clients life, it's giving the employees life, it's giving their family life back because now they're spending more time with their family.

07:02.400 --> 07:09.804
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that was a big thing for the client that you're referring to, as he got to come back to his wife and his kids and made a huge difference in their life.

07:09.984 --> 07:17.507
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want to transition into my next question for you, Kira, which is advice that you would have four entrepreneurs who have

07:22.989 --> 07:38.401
[SPEAKER_02]: Neither of us have a business, no, but we work in small businesses that we have watched grow and just advice for people that are in Jared and Joe's place now and they're getting advice from them, but what about from you from the other side?

07:38.561 --> 07:45.026
[SPEAKER_01]: My first piece of advice for anyone who is either looking to staff someone for the

07:45.386 --> 07:58.365
[SPEAKER_01]: That right hand person they're trying to get to or for people who already have that, but there's still a lot of chaos my first recommendation is put systems in place Yes, or find someone who can put those systems in place for you.

07:58.505 --> 08:02.070
[SPEAKER_01]: I've talked to a lot of business owners and entrepreneurs in the last few months just

08:02.350 --> 08:17.264
[SPEAKER_01]: just they're, you know, general networking and a couple of them have those people, but they haven't put the systems in place and they talk about that chaos and how they're trying to get this stuff put in place or they don't have an SLP, a system operating standardized, standardized operating procedure.

08:17.505 --> 08:17.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

08:18.225 --> 08:23.951
[SPEAKER_01]: The chaos that is in their their business because they don't have that SLP is insane.

08:24.071 --> 08:25.432
[SPEAKER_01]: I know a business owner who

08:26.433 --> 08:32.585
[SPEAKER_01]: because they're not willing to get to move forward with the times they're still using a fax machine.

08:33.217 --> 08:34.958
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yes, yeah.

08:35.179 --> 08:37.580
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're still using, don't give you wrong.

08:37.680 --> 08:39.121
[SPEAKER_01]: I am all for Google Docs.

08:39.161 --> 08:42.184
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm all for sheets and things like that to help keep track.

08:42.224 --> 08:55.133
[SPEAKER_01]: But that should be for the admin or the manager of the office, whoever that is, because they have a system and process in place, people to navigate that, give reports, know where to go with that information.

08:55.293 --> 08:58.495
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you just have all this information, just all these documents.

08:58.796 --> 09:00.036
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not doing anything for you.

09:00.897 --> 09:01.418
[SPEAKER_01]: something easy.

09:01.458 --> 09:09.585
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm assuming, since they're not up to the times that they do not have AI, looking over the document, finding the pattern leaning on it.

09:10.366 --> 09:12.808
[SPEAKER_02]: All of just there, but it's slightly organized.

09:12.868 --> 09:17.713
[SPEAKER_02]: AI could go in and maybe help you organize and figure that out, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.

09:17.833 --> 09:18.954
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, not at all.

09:19.074 --> 09:23.198
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I definitely think that, again, if you don't have someone, um,

09:23.558 --> 09:25.599
[SPEAKER_01]: in your corner who's taking care of those things.

09:25.839 --> 09:34.361
[SPEAKER_01]: For not just the businessport for the owner and for the rest of the team, you're not going to make progress and you're not going to make progress quickly like you want.

09:34.601 --> 09:39.162
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just going to stay chaotic, really and truly.

09:39.282 --> 09:46.704
[SPEAKER_01]: So my first recommendation is definitely first, make some SOPs and second, find someone who can organize and

09:52.032 --> 10:00.117
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely, so just to hang on systems for another minute because Jared and Joe and the business coaches action coach they are talking about systems all the time.

10:01.418 --> 10:03.699
[SPEAKER_02]: What are they talking about does this matter do they work?

10:04.020 --> 10:07.362
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they work please have systems because.

10:08.522 --> 10:13.146
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been in jobs where there were loose systems and people didn't follow them and they were technically there.

10:13.206 --> 10:15.107
[SPEAKER_02]: So technically, the business was running right.

10:15.647 --> 10:15.888
[SPEAKER_02]: No.

10:16.428 --> 10:16.608
[SPEAKER_02]: No.

10:16.768 --> 10:18.610
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody was following them so it didn't count, okay?

10:19.310 --> 10:20.131
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to have them.

10:20.171 --> 10:22.973
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to have them written down and you have to have them in front of your face.

10:23.273 --> 10:27.156
[SPEAKER_02]: They cannot just be sitting in a Google Doc somewhere where nobody looks at them.

10:27.316 --> 10:32.040
[SPEAKER_02]: They cannot just be in some workbook you give to your new hire that they forget to read and then no.

10:32.700 --> 10:36.921
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to be in your face all the time, whether you have them hanging on a wall.

10:37.101 --> 10:47.963
[SPEAKER_02]: We have them as checklists in our project management system so that every single podcast that I record edit package publish, I move it to that step and a checklist falls down.

10:48.003 --> 10:54.845
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the 11 steps and I look at that every single time and it doesn't matter how many hundreds of podcasts that I have produced.

10:55.805 --> 10:57.648
[SPEAKER_02]: I will forget it if I do not have that checklist.

10:57.788 --> 10:58.729
[SPEAKER_02]: I will forget something.

10:58.789 --> 11:00.030
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll forget to grab the thumbnail.

11:00.131 --> 11:03.575
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll forget to make sure the audio is the perfect level.

11:04.096 --> 11:08.982
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll forget to make sure my timelines for K because then it doesn't render right.

11:09.062 --> 11:09.382
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, hmm.

11:10.312 --> 11:11.452
[SPEAKER_02]: you just have to have systems.

11:11.572 --> 11:12.132
[SPEAKER_01]: You just have to.

11:12.212 --> 11:12.832
[SPEAKER_01]: You just have to.

11:13.012 --> 11:15.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, you're not, again, you're not going to go anywhere.

11:15.713 --> 11:17.333
[SPEAKER_01]: You're just going to sit in that same place.

11:17.613 --> 11:18.613
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's going to be chaotic.

11:18.713 --> 11:19.574
[SPEAKER_01]: The new year is going to come around.

11:19.594 --> 11:21.574
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to go, why was it so chaotic?

11:21.614 --> 11:29.475
[SPEAKER_01]: And because, well, another thing is that with the systems, you're able to record and test and measure what works and what doesn't.

11:29.595 --> 11:29.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

11:30.055 --> 11:35.876
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can go, like the person who's taking care of that system and the business owner can come together and go, OK, this didn't work.

11:36.177 --> 11:37.397
[SPEAKER_01]: What can we do better next time?

11:39.563 --> 11:41.485
[SPEAKER_01]: Systems change, they always change.

11:41.505 --> 11:42.066
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the point.

11:42.086 --> 11:45.008
[SPEAKER_01]: They're supposed to help with your business as you grow.

11:45.129 --> 11:53.717
[SPEAKER_01]: And as you have more clarity with where you're trying to go with not just the business, but with your team, with your clients, because your clients can change.

11:54.518 --> 11:57.441
[SPEAKER_01]: You may, you could be a service in the service industry.

11:57.581 --> 11:57.641
[SPEAKER_01]: And

12:00.163 --> 12:02.364
[SPEAKER_01]: you are just, you know, a plumber.

12:02.544 --> 12:04.164
[SPEAKER_01]: You're just trying to get into plumbing homes.

12:04.644 --> 12:12.006
[SPEAKER_01]: But as the years go by, you realize, oh, well, I specialize in plumbing, but I also specialize in a X Y and Z.

12:12.967 --> 12:15.227
[SPEAKER_01]: So the clients that you're looking for could change.

12:15.247 --> 12:24.490
[SPEAKER_01]: You could still be doing just general plumbing, but now you're looking for clients that are also have this other problem that you can now be the only one to fix at the same time.

12:25.529 --> 12:30.675
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's a big thing, because again, you need to be able to have this record recorded somewhere.

12:30.776 --> 12:37.303
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it also helps because you're able to look at it three months down the line and go, whoa, look how far I've come.

12:37.724 --> 12:38.024
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at it.

12:38.225 --> 12:40.828
[SPEAKER_01]: It was here and now I'm all the way over here.

12:40.848 --> 12:42.029
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't think I was going to get here.

12:42.049 --> 12:43.911
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we talked about it earlier about how,

12:44.572 --> 12:49.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think we were gonna get to a certain point for at least some of their three to five years and we're already there, right?

12:49.818 --> 12:56.667
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can look back at the things that I recorded before and go, wow, this is what I did and this is what we did to get to this point.

12:57.745 --> 12:58.426
[SPEAKER_01]: This is crazy.

12:58.446 --> 12:59.246
[SPEAKER_01]: This is amazing.

12:59.486 --> 12:59.666
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

12:59.847 --> 13:02.428
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like looking back on our video podcast.

13:02.909 --> 13:16.058
[SPEAKER_02]: You go back to season one of the entrepreneur experience where it's just Jared and Joe hanging out in the closet with a tiny little round table and then you just look at where it's at now here in season three and it's pretty cool to see the difference.

13:16.578 --> 13:25.164
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, big time there reminded me of I was just on our Facebook page and I was looking at our podcast a little thumbnails that I would create on.

13:25.264 --> 13:25.805
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

13:25.885 --> 13:26.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:26.345 --> 13:37.280
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were, it was the exact same picture and I would just change a few small things in the title, and I would say we've cut this next, you know, join us, see why this or whatever, and then I was looking at.

13:38.673 --> 13:41.155
[SPEAKER_02]: what I have a VA now, a virtual assistant.

13:41.435 --> 13:43.196
[SPEAKER_01]: I love my virtual assistant.

13:43.216 --> 13:44.137
[SPEAKER_01]: Dan is a vegan.

13:44.157 --> 13:44.898
[SPEAKER_01]: We love you, Dan.

13:45.118 --> 13:45.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

13:45.478 --> 13:46.639
[SPEAKER_02]: I got a big shout out to Dan.

13:46.679 --> 13:47.680
[SPEAKER_02]: He is amazing.

13:48.560 --> 13:52.644
[SPEAKER_01]: And I look at what he's able to accomplish because he specializes in that.

13:53.364 --> 13:56.046
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, whoa, this looks so cool.

13:56.066 --> 13:57.827
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like you just made this on Canva.

13:57.847 --> 14:00.630
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like you perfectly, well, it was professionally made.

14:00.730 --> 14:00.910
[SPEAKER_01]: But,

14:01.410 --> 14:13.633
[SPEAKER_01]: It just, there's branding colors, there's a focus in on what actually matters versus just a, hey, we're just making a big shout out of this, this and this, now it's a, no, we're targeting this specifically.

14:13.713 --> 14:15.653
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's amazing to see that progress.

14:15.673 --> 14:15.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

14:16.274 --> 14:24.355
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we can see the change in our thumbnails when the same people are doing them, you know, grace and I bake thumbnails, but we're not making the same thumbnails that we made a year ago.

14:24.996 --> 14:25.256
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

14:25.576 --> 14:27.856
[SPEAKER_01]: That progress in those systems is just all of it.

14:27.916 --> 14:30.277
[SPEAKER_01]: It just all comes together to create this amazing

14:32.138 --> 14:41.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's one of the things that Jared and Joe talk about all the time, they're always talking about we get to this point and now we're going to go to this point and now we made it we're satisfied.

14:43.804 --> 14:49.247
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean they're let's go what's next Joe and I had a small breather a couple of weeks ago.

14:49.267 --> 14:52.529
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact I posted about it on our entrepreneur experience school.

14:53.109 --> 14:53.489
[SPEAKER_01]: community.

14:53.689 --> 14:55.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's shut that out real quick.

14:55.270 --> 14:55.650
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

14:56.071 --> 14:59.172
[SPEAKER_02]: Entrepreneur experience hub on school check it out.

14:59.372 --> 15:04.434
[SPEAKER_02]: We're about 140 members, but we could be at 150 by the time this podcast comes out.

15:04.454 --> 15:06.495
[SPEAKER_02]: We're hoping it will be paid at 150.

15:06.555 --> 15:07.656
[SPEAKER_02]: So go check it out.

15:07.996 --> 15:10.217
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's not at 150, get in for free for sure.

15:10.497 --> 15:11.498
[SPEAKER_02]: Kira posts in there.

15:11.778 --> 15:12.198
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.

15:12.498 --> 15:14.079
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm very vulnerable in there, guys.

15:14.119 --> 15:15.539
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you want to hear about all the new

15:17.080 --> 15:18.822
[SPEAKER_02]: Or do you have any questions for her?

15:19.042 --> 15:25.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Feel free to leave comments on this video or audio platform, but for sure you could jump in this school as well.

15:26.028 --> 15:26.308
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

15:26.388 --> 15:27.669
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love our school community.

15:27.909 --> 15:29.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, it's amazing.

15:29.351 --> 15:30.311
[SPEAKER_02]: We have so many people in there.

15:30.351 --> 15:31.192
[SPEAKER_01]: We have so many people in there.

15:31.212 --> 15:35.676
[SPEAKER_01]: And I learned about so many different, well, we have clients all over the US.

15:36.076 --> 15:40.420
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had international clients as well, but the clients that are out of state.

15:40.640 --> 15:44.563
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't get to meet in person here in Kansas City.

15:45.384 --> 15:53.288
[SPEAKER_01]: I get to read about their business and what they're struggling with, and I love getting to see how they have moved past that.

15:53.989 --> 16:01.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, they are very people are vulnerable on there, but they're also very like, this is how I can get got hope, and this is how you can do it too.

16:01.893 --> 16:03.314
[SPEAKER_01]: How have you seen this in your life?

16:03.354 --> 16:10.658
[SPEAKER_01]: What have you done in your business to be able to get past this point, and people gave advice and they do take that seriously, and I really, really like that on our community.

16:15.237 --> 16:18.759
[SPEAKER_01]: I did, I posted about that and I said, I didn't really know what to do.

16:18.779 --> 16:30.087
[SPEAKER_01]: I was able to sit down for a few minutes and look at all of these projects and these tasks on, on done done, of course, because we live on done done, we live, we live there.

16:30.187 --> 16:33.629
[SPEAKER_01]: And just all of these small tasks that I hadn't been able to work on in maybe six months.

16:33.649 --> 16:34.610
[SPEAKER_01]: And they weren't pressing.

16:34.630 --> 16:35.750
[SPEAKER_01]: They weren't a big firey.

16:35.770 --> 16:36.251
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to put out.

16:36.271 --> 16:37.291
[SPEAKER_01]: But they were just these small.

16:37.311 --> 16:38.212
[SPEAKER_01]: The parking lot.

16:38.352 --> 16:38.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

16:38.692 --> 16:39.493
[SPEAKER_01]: That parking lot.

16:40.053 --> 16:40.994
[SPEAKER_01]: I just hadn't gotten to.

16:41.134 --> 16:41.814
[SPEAKER_01]: It's essential.

16:42.094 --> 16:45.536
[SPEAKER_01]: It very much is essential, but I kind of, I almost didn't want to do that.

16:45.556 --> 16:51.359
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to go back to non-stop moving, moving, moving because I got used to that.

16:52.040 --> 16:57.422
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know how to sit for a minute and just not be rapid fire thinking in a way.

16:57.522 --> 17:00.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to just keep going with that.

17:00.244 --> 17:01.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I had to sit down and go, okay.

17:02.405 --> 17:05.046
[SPEAKER_01]: what are we going to do for the next another six months?

17:05.526 --> 17:15.190
[SPEAKER_01]: But I did realize how important that was because Joe, myself and my VA Dan, we were able to sit down together and we do now do this every two weeks.

17:15.230 --> 17:24.734
[SPEAKER_01]: We sit down for 30 minutes just to go through our marketing plan and we are now able to set out time to plan out the entire next year, which we've been wanting to do

17:25.534 --> 17:26.555
[SPEAKER_01]: four months.

17:27.135 --> 17:29.656
[SPEAKER_01]: We just keep, we kept saying every, you know, I have a recorder.

17:29.716 --> 17:29.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

17:30.597 --> 17:35.940
[SPEAKER_01]: Now let's try to be ahead of the game and let's now we can get two quarters ahead instead of just one.

17:35.960 --> 17:36.400
[SPEAKER_01]: That's great.

17:36.420 --> 17:37.541
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that is great.

17:37.581 --> 17:39.522
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love playing can change over.

17:39.562 --> 17:42.523
[SPEAKER_02]: You can make a year plan and then decide this is not going to work.

17:42.623 --> 17:45.525
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything's changed, but it's better to have a plan and change it.

17:45.825 --> 17:48.827
[SPEAKER_02]: Then I have no plan at all because guess what happens if you don't have a plan?

17:50.405 --> 17:51.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh no, everything falls apart.

17:52.407 --> 17:54.509
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing happens, right?

17:54.529 --> 17:56.251
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no plan for it, it's not gonna happen.

17:57.372 --> 18:03.438
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so I know a lot of entrepreneurs that I'm gonna listen to this episode are Christian, and if you're not, don't worry, this is still for you.

18:03.918 --> 18:09.524
[SPEAKER_02]: But I want you to tell me how does Joe, handle faith and business?

18:10.685 --> 18:12.987
[SPEAKER_02]: How does he bring his faith into the business?

18:13.548 --> 18:14.088
[SPEAKER_02]: How does that work?

18:14.508 --> 18:16.190
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry to sit and think about that one for that.

18:16.210 --> 18:16.790
[SPEAKER_02]: That's okay.

18:16.810 --> 18:26.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's so key to what we do at Action Coach, this particular firm, Action Coach Kansas City that I don't know how to if you separate the two.

18:26.999 --> 18:50.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, Joe is so good at just being very open and honest about what he believes and that, you know, it's okay that nobody else believes this, but we are going to continue to have prayers and we are going to continue to glorify God in different ways by making sure that we know that this isn't just we're we're putting in the effort, but God is blessing us for that effort.

18:55.805 --> 19:03.821
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a little bit exciting for me to join when he talked about, you know, just so you know, we were Christian.

19:04.733 --> 19:05.634
[SPEAKER_01]: We have these beliefs.

19:05.694 --> 19:14.200
[SPEAKER_01]: We, we are very open and honest about how we move forward, not that it was a requirement that someone he hired was trying to say, but he said, we were not going to shy away from that.

19:14.240 --> 19:16.942
[SPEAKER_01]: If that's a problem for you, we can, we can adjust some small things.

19:17.642 --> 19:21.105
[SPEAKER_01]: But if that is going to be a big problem, then this might not be the place for you.

19:21.525 --> 19:23.146
[SPEAKER_01]: Very upfront, very upfront.

19:23.206 --> 19:25.448
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just thought, this is the place for me.

19:26.348 --> 19:30.812
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so grateful that some, you know, that I get to be Christian that I can talk

19:33.439 --> 19:40.784
[SPEAKER_01]: and that we can worship openly, not in the, you know, we're always talking about God or anything like that, but it's in the actions that we do.

19:40.804 --> 19:41.284
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

19:41.405 --> 19:43.426
[SPEAKER_01]: And worship can look so many different ways.

19:43.626 --> 19:47.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, for example, are our team meetings that we have every single Monday.

19:47.949 --> 19:52.152
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, that's another piece of advice if you and your team are not meeting once a week.

19:52.692 --> 19:54.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Every week too, you need to.

19:55.053 --> 19:59.814
[SPEAKER_01]: It establishes exactly what the priorities are for not just that week, but for that month, for that year.

20:00.195 --> 20:03.536
[SPEAKER_01]: You can come with reports from each of your team members.

20:03.596 --> 20:04.356
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an amazing thing.

20:04.376 --> 20:09.838
[SPEAKER_01]: So, side note on that, but definitely keep that in mind if you're looking for new goals to have for this next quarter.

20:10.038 --> 20:13.319
[SPEAKER_01]: But we we start off with a prayer and we end with a prayer.

20:13.539 --> 20:18.441
[SPEAKER_01]: We go through all of our different core values and one of I think it's our very first one.

20:19.201 --> 20:20.062
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of nervous right now.

20:20.082 --> 20:21.323
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't quite remember.

20:22.084 --> 20:27.729
[SPEAKER_01]: But I believe the very first one is honor your creator by living out your full potential.

20:27.869 --> 20:29.310
[SPEAKER_01]: Potential can look different for everyone.

20:29.690 --> 20:31.812
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, my potential could be this week.

20:31.872 --> 20:33.794
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks one way and next week.

20:33.814 --> 20:40.060
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll look completely different because I was able to in a way fulfill that potential this week.

20:40.420 --> 20:42.902
[SPEAKER_01]: I was able to start here and get one step better.

20:43.322 --> 20:44.984
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love that we open with that every week.

20:45.064 --> 20:47.326
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we go through the rest of our core values.

20:47.646 --> 20:52.770
[SPEAKER_01]: But I love that that is implemented into that very, very opening part of our day and every week.

20:53.391 --> 20:53.831
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.

20:54.071 --> 20:56.794
[SPEAKER_02]: You kind of went into the more practical side.

20:56.814 --> 20:58.095
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of where I was going to take it.

20:58.215 --> 21:00.216
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think maybe Jared gets some of his,

21:01.037 --> 21:04.261
[SPEAKER_02]: meeting SOP from Joe because we also start with the prayer.

21:04.402 --> 21:06.624
[SPEAKER_02]: Jared will kick us off Monday morning with the prayer.

21:06.725 --> 21:09.949
[SPEAKER_02]: He comes right after his action coach meeting and that's how he kicks off ours.

21:10.309 --> 21:13.533
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll go through vision mission core values as well.

21:14.034 --> 21:16.838
[SPEAKER_02]: We have seven and I would list them off but I don't want to take forever.

21:18.960 --> 21:26.043
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we end with a prayer and we rotate who prays then so grace and I will take turns ending our Monday meetings with prayer.

21:26.444 --> 21:28.625
[SPEAKER_02]: We also pray before podcast.

21:28.805 --> 21:29.925
[SPEAKER_02]: We pray before this one.

21:30.686 --> 21:34.407
[SPEAKER_02]: That's part of the SOP with our Christian clients if they're not comfortable with that.

21:34.427 --> 21:35.648
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, we don't have to.

21:35.848 --> 21:41.491
[SPEAKER_02]: But we will always give them a chance to pray, remind them to pray or pray for them if they prefer that.

21:42.503 --> 21:44.924
[SPEAKER_02]: I think also, it's all prayer.

21:45.444 --> 21:52.248
[SPEAKER_02]: Whenever we're making big decisions, we just had a conversation today where Jared was trying to make a big decision and we were talking it through.

21:52.908 --> 21:54.849
[SPEAKER_02]: And he had arrived at a conclusion.

21:55.269 --> 21:57.590
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like, okay, then this is what we're gonna do.

21:57.610 --> 21:58.751
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, okay.

21:59.800 --> 22:01.582
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool, did you pray about it yet?

22:02.042 --> 22:03.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause you can have all the worldly logic you want.

22:03.683 --> 22:04.644
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you pray about it yet?

22:05.064 --> 22:11.830
[SPEAKER_02]: He was like, yeah, kind of, but let me go take another walk just to make sure before we actually take the steps for this.

22:12.370 --> 22:28.363
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's just so important for us individually to be in prayer as well for how to do our jobs, how to respect our bosses, how to help the best way we can, how to help our clients the best way we can for us individually to be in prayer, but also as a team.

22:29.625 --> 22:30.646
[SPEAKER_01]: 100% agree.

22:31.186 --> 22:34.387
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like what you said that it's that prayer.

22:34.768 --> 22:35.588
[SPEAKER_01]: It's having that prayer.

22:35.648 --> 22:40.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I think not just out loud but constantly in your heart because we open every meeting.

22:40.290 --> 22:41.771
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter what meeting we're having.

22:41.811 --> 22:44.932
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we'll even have our, we call it a powwow.

22:45.173 --> 22:51.976
[SPEAKER_01]: Me and Joe will have a 15, 10, 15 minute quick meeting in the middle of the day or the beginning of the day whenever that is just to go over priorities.

22:52.256 --> 22:54.537
[SPEAKER_01]: And whatever we do, we still open with a prayer.

22:54.957 --> 22:56.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, what, what can we do better?

22:56.598 --> 22:57.759
[SPEAKER_01]: And it doesn't have to be long.

22:57.799 --> 22:59.960
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't have to be just a quick orientation.

23:00.260 --> 23:04.102
[SPEAKER_02]: Lord, when you be here with us in this meeting, would you help us get our priorities straight?

23:04.122 --> 23:05.983
[SPEAKER_02]: And would you be with us as we execute them?

23:06.584 --> 23:09.245
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't have to be this big, huge prayer.

23:09.525 --> 23:10.025
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no.

23:10.065 --> 23:11.086
[SPEAKER_01]: And it can be a very quick prayer.

23:11.106 --> 23:16.389
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I not to make this about me, but I, some mornings, it's just hard.

23:16.429 --> 23:17.890
[SPEAKER_01]: And you sit there and you're just like, OK.

23:18.330 --> 23:21.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably Father, just give me the strength to get through these few tasks.

23:21.132 --> 23:22.472
[SPEAKER_01]: So they just let me start it.

23:22.492 --> 23:23.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can get a care of the rest.

23:26.613 --> 23:35.817
[SPEAKER_01]: constant, I think, almost visual of who you're talking, not even who you're talking to, but you just have that visual of, I want to be here.

23:35.837 --> 23:40.879
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know that if I add God to this, I'm going to get there.

23:41.359 --> 23:43.200
[SPEAKER_01]: It may not be in my timing, but it's going to be there.

23:43.400 --> 23:44.961
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get there eventually.

23:45.661 --> 23:49.503
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love that we've talked about that actually at our team meetings with Jared and with Joe.

23:49.623 --> 23:50.423
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe, we'll sometimes go.

23:50.763 --> 23:58.528
[SPEAKER_01]: popcorn, he'll throw Jared into the mix and Jared has to stand up and he'll stand up there and he'll talk about all the core values, but we always come back to God.

23:58.548 --> 24:02.710
[SPEAKER_01]: We always come back to that one key piece of God and prayer.

24:03.591 --> 24:04.511
[SPEAKER_02]: I like what you're saying.

24:04.531 --> 24:08.534
[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to point out to for anybody that's listening, God is not just a piece.

24:10.126 --> 24:10.346
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

24:10.366 --> 24:12.047
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of how you think of it.

24:12.107 --> 24:14.528
[SPEAKER_02]: And visually, and maybe people think of it at different ways.

24:14.568 --> 24:17.549
[SPEAKER_02]: But in my mind, the Lord isn't the piece of the puzzle.

24:17.629 --> 24:20.010
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the guy standing over the puzzle.

24:20.250 --> 24:20.490
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

24:20.550 --> 24:20.770
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

24:20.790 --> 24:21.730
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the one guiding you.

24:21.750 --> 24:27.033
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the one who can see the picture of what it's supposed to look like when it's done.

24:27.453 --> 24:29.854
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's the one picking up the pieces and putting them in the place.

24:30.494 --> 24:38.657
[SPEAKER_02]: And so really the best way to move forward is just to put the puzzle in his hands, which is your life, give it up to him, just know that he's in control of it all.

24:39.063 --> 24:41.656
[SPEAKER_02]: and so including prayer as a piece of.

24:42.178 --> 24:49.124
[SPEAKER_02]: meetings as a piece of our daily work lives, just gives us that reminder of he's in control.

24:49.404 --> 24:52.587
[SPEAKER_02]: He's has a plan and ultimately we're working for God.

24:52.667 --> 24:55.149
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was the next question that I wanted to give you.

24:55.489 --> 24:56.129
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an easy one.

24:56.149 --> 24:56.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't worry.

24:56.690 --> 24:59.792
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you remind yourself?

24:59.893 --> 25:02.375
[SPEAKER_02]: What does it mean to be working for God?

25:02.535 --> 25:04.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we both have amazing bosses.

25:04.236 --> 25:05.757
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we've established that pretty well.

25:05.837 --> 25:07.499
[SPEAKER_02]: We absolutely love our bosses.

25:07.559 --> 25:08.980
[SPEAKER_02]: Jared and Joe are amazing.

25:09.180 --> 25:11.422
[SPEAKER_02]: You're so lucky to listen to them a couple times a month.

25:11.742 --> 25:13.304
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully more we're going to get them to weekly.

25:13.404 --> 25:14.024
[SPEAKER_02]: We're working on it.

25:15.166 --> 25:18.108
[SPEAKER_02]: But what does it look like ultimately to working for the Lord?

25:18.929 --> 25:19.289
[SPEAKER_02]: Joyful.

25:20.407 --> 25:22.748
[SPEAKER_01]: My first thought is just joyful.

25:23.048 --> 25:25.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you talked about, God is not a piece.

25:25.750 --> 25:27.751
[SPEAKER_01]: He is the one, he's the author.

25:27.951 --> 25:32.053
[SPEAKER_01]: He is the one taking care of everything he's already got, everything in place.

25:32.514 --> 25:37.957
[SPEAKER_01]: What he wants from you is to, I love this word, sacrifice.

25:38.517 --> 25:47.422
[SPEAKER_01]: And I used to think of it as like this huge deal and this whole big problem and kind of an inegative sense of like, oh, if I have to sacrifice everything that's so bad,

25:50.063 --> 25:57.910
[SPEAKER_01]: If you break down sacrifice, it's called it's sacre, which means holy and you have fetch it, which means to make.

25:58.311 --> 26:02.074
[SPEAKER_01]: So when you are doing a sacrifice, you are making something holy.

26:02.114 --> 26:03.155
[SPEAKER_01]: You are making something better.

26:03.415 --> 26:03.636
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

26:03.936 --> 26:08.940
[SPEAKER_01]: And so when I think of sacrificing my time,

26:09.761 --> 26:14.725
[SPEAKER_01]: sacrificing my energy, sacrificing whatever that may look like.

26:14.765 --> 26:15.706
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be my phone.

26:15.746 --> 26:26.734
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be it could be what I'm fasting, could be I'm sacrificing extra this this time I could be doing this to spend a little a few more minutes just doing my scripture reading.

26:27.155 --> 26:27.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

26:27.835 --> 26:29.817
[SPEAKER_01]: I am making something better because of that.

26:29.917 --> 26:31.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm making my life better.

26:31.778 --> 26:35.162
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm making my position better because I own my position.

26:35.242 --> 26:39.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I work for Joe, I work for action coach, but my position is my position.

26:39.226 --> 26:40.708
[SPEAKER_02]: And you have responsibility over that.

26:40.748 --> 26:41.328
[SPEAKER_01]: Within that.

26:41.448 --> 26:45.292
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I do that, I just, again, I feel so joyful and peaceful.

26:45.453 --> 26:47.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And when there's chaos all around me,

26:49.193 --> 26:53.616
[SPEAKER_01]: They talk about this in the scriptures and they talk about this, and I'm sure men's and different things and talks.

26:54.096 --> 26:56.538
[SPEAKER_01]: They talk about feeling the peace during the storm.

26:57.278 --> 27:00.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I never understood that for the longest time I was like, what are you talking about?

27:01.661 --> 27:04.502
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just chaos all around me and I don't feel peaceful at all.

27:04.522 --> 27:07.364
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like I'm running around like a headless chicken, right?

27:07.684 --> 27:16.590
[SPEAKER_01]: But as I've learned to again learn to sacrifice that time and energy and give myself to what God wants me to do.

27:17.725 --> 27:22.518
[SPEAKER_01]: and really take the time to listen and do what he's asked of me.

27:22.859 --> 27:23.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel so much more peaceful.

27:24.962 --> 27:29.883
[SPEAKER_01]: because it's like, I know, it just is, I know that God has me.

27:30.023 --> 27:32.343
[SPEAKER_01]: He's holding me, and he's just helping me.

27:32.563 --> 27:35.304
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Godly peace does not come from worldly circumstances.

27:35.584 --> 27:36.904
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it comes from the Holy Spirit.

27:37.584 --> 27:42.185
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like I have that temple here on Earth, and I am standing on firm ground.

27:42.205 --> 27:43.325
[SPEAKER_01]: I have that firm foundation.

27:43.485 --> 27:44.025
[SPEAKER_01]: That's amazing.

27:44.245 --> 27:47.366
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there are so many ways that we could go from here.

27:47.386 --> 27:50.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I had so many thoughts coming into my mind as you were talking.

27:50.066 --> 27:52.767
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm gonna go back to Genesis

27:54.459 --> 27:57.461
[SPEAKER_02]: The Lord told Adam to work the fields.

27:57.861 --> 27:59.182
[SPEAKER_02]: He told them to work, right?

28:00.243 --> 28:01.403
[SPEAKER_02]: We're put on this earth to work.

28:01.603 --> 28:03.164
[SPEAKER_02]: We're put on this earth to do something.

28:03.885 --> 28:06.766
[SPEAKER_02]: God wants to give us peace in the chaos, in the mess.

28:06.827 --> 28:08.688
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants us to step into those storms.

28:08.748 --> 28:11.449
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants us to do something with our lives.

28:11.930 --> 28:14.791
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants us to work hard, and he wants us to give the glory to him.

28:15.772 --> 28:17.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, it's interesting.

28:17.973 --> 28:20.235
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't make it go on and on about this, but I want to

28:21.030 --> 28:22.671
[SPEAKER_01]: hone in on that word glorify.

28:23.112 --> 28:23.912
[SPEAKER_01]: We actually talked about it.

28:23.933 --> 28:27.395
[SPEAKER_01]: I think at our last team meeting, we talked about what does it mean to actually glorify?

28:28.817 --> 28:35.102
[SPEAKER_01]: And we had so many different thoughts and so many different ideas because it can look different for everyone, definitely.

28:35.362 --> 28:42.188
[SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like when you're glorifying God to me is to have you on my mind too.

28:42.875 --> 28:53.381
[SPEAKER_01]: sit down and give, I keep coming back to time, but if I, I feel like when you're going or if I ain't God, you are doing what he's asked.

28:53.741 --> 28:58.864
[SPEAKER_01]: That could look like service, that could look like reading your scriptures, that could be giving to a charity.

28:58.924 --> 29:05.547
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, looked different in different ways, but you are essentially looking to him to go, what have you asked me to do?

29:06.088 --> 29:06.748
[SPEAKER_01]: And I will do that.

29:07.048 --> 29:09.011
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that could be a part for everyone.

29:09.291 --> 29:09.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

29:09.532 --> 29:14.860
[SPEAKER_02]: There are parts that apply to only certain people because we don't have different skills and abilities that the Lord has blessed us with.

29:15.280 --> 29:18.245
[SPEAKER_02]: But obedience to him, that's everybody.

29:18.365 --> 29:18.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

29:18.966 --> 29:22.351
[SPEAKER_02]: You talked about sacrifice and how that means to make holy.

29:23.528 --> 29:25.649
[SPEAKER_02]: What he wants us to do is to be made holy.

29:25.709 --> 29:29.030
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants us to be more like Jesus, Jesus is the picture of holiness, right?

29:29.550 --> 29:33.051
[SPEAKER_02]: And what's cool about holy is it means to be set apart.

29:33.771 --> 29:35.352
[SPEAKER_02]: It means to be different than everyone else.

29:35.772 --> 29:44.234
[SPEAKER_02]: It means to make different decisions and sometimes it means to go against all worldly logic and follow God anyway, even though it makes no sense to you and no sense to anyone else.

29:44.754 --> 29:46.235
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's where the faith comes in.

29:47.252 --> 29:48.933
[SPEAKER_01]: This is something that's been on my mind recently.

29:49.614 --> 29:54.217
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just talking about such a great conversation because you talked about obedience.

29:54.618 --> 29:57.200
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the one I was really looking for was that obedience.

29:57.220 --> 29:58.040
[SPEAKER_01]: That's glorifying God.

29:58.601 --> 30:03.645
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that I'm going to shift a little bit from just talking about God for too, to our Savior Jesus Christ a little bit.

30:03.825 --> 30:06.006
[SPEAKER_01]: If you read the scriptures, even if you are not,

30:07.586 --> 30:10.088
[SPEAKER_01]: super Christian, or you're not Christian at all.

30:10.728 --> 30:20.755
[SPEAKER_01]: I think taking the time to look at his life and who he is in the New Testament, you can learn so much about how to be human and how to process

30:22.023 --> 30:28.749
[SPEAKER_01]: really any emotion because he wasn't just the perfect example of obedience to where Heavenly Father has commanded of us.

30:28.869 --> 30:32.191
[SPEAKER_01]: He was the perfect example of being human.

30:32.672 --> 30:33.392
[SPEAKER_01]: He cried.

30:33.653 --> 30:34.794
[SPEAKER_01]: He got angry.

30:34.954 --> 30:42.660
[SPEAKER_01]: He got tired and he has taught me how so much about how to process all those emotions.

30:42.820 --> 30:43.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I never cried.

30:43.941 --> 30:45.162
[SPEAKER_01]: growing up, like I hated crying.

30:45.342 --> 30:47.283
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, I'm weak of my cry.

30:47.663 --> 30:48.223
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do it.

30:48.864 --> 30:58.689
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I cry it, you know, again, I cried when I was thinking about this client that we were helping because I was so grateful and happy to see that his life was getting better.

30:59.489 --> 31:07.193
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is just an amazing thing to me that I can learn to be a human from the perfect example of what it was to be human.

31:07.945 --> 31:08.585
[SPEAKER_02]: That's wonderful.

31:08.766 --> 31:09.746
[SPEAKER_02]: I love how you said that.

31:10.207 --> 31:12.909
[SPEAKER_02]: If Jesus cried, it's gotta be okay for us to cry, right?

31:12.949 --> 31:13.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

31:14.590 --> 31:17.952
[SPEAKER_02]: If Jesus got angry, definitely okay for us to be angry.

31:18.232 --> 31:19.313
[SPEAKER_02]: How do we respond to that?

31:19.393 --> 31:19.913
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, right.

31:20.214 --> 31:21.595
[SPEAKER_02]: What do we do about that anger?

31:21.635 --> 31:25.517
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a different story, but absolutely, we are free to feel our emotions.

31:26.398 --> 31:27.480
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, thank you, Kira.

31:27.620 --> 31:28.641
[SPEAKER_02]: So much for joining me.

31:28.661 --> 31:33.328
[SPEAKER_02]: I had a really good time on this podcast and just so grateful that you're my friend and that we got to do this together.

31:33.869 --> 31:37.534
[SPEAKER_02]: Before we wrap it up, is there any final advice that you have for our audience today?

31:37.975 --> 31:42.842
[SPEAKER_01]: If you are an entrepreneur or you are working for an entrepreneur, whatever that may look like.

31:44.185 --> 31:51.387
[SPEAKER_01]: And something here hit home for you, whether that was when we talked about systems, SOPs talking about team meetings.

31:51.527 --> 32:01.149
[SPEAKER_01]: If that is something that you are not doing and you feel that it will create more clarity in the business, talk to the person that isn't chart, like that it supervises you.

32:01.609 --> 32:08.051
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk to the rest of your team about implementing whatever that may be in this next quarter.

32:08.311 --> 32:08.611
[SPEAKER_01]: We're...

32:09.631 --> 32:11.972
[SPEAKER_01]: reality is we're halfway through quarter three.

32:12.272 --> 32:12.513
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

32:12.833 --> 32:15.774
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going into quarter four and it's creeping up fast.

32:16.054 --> 32:16.615
[SPEAKER_01]: It always does.

32:16.695 --> 32:17.515
[SPEAKER_01]: It always does.

32:17.975 --> 32:22.458
[SPEAKER_01]: So try to be prepared for that next quarter because quarter four hits and then 2026 is over.

32:22.578 --> 32:25.699
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say in quarter four is the shortest one.

32:25.960 --> 32:26.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, truly.

32:26.700 --> 32:28.701
[SPEAKER_01]: would not actually, but it feels like it.

32:28.721 --> 32:30.282
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's all those holidays.

32:30.342 --> 32:33.324
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, because there's so much time off, there's so much chaos.

32:33.724 --> 32:34.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotta prepare for it ahead of time.

32:35.065 --> 32:35.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

32:35.685 --> 32:39.527
[SPEAKER_01]: So that would be my biggest piece of advice for entrepreneurs and those working for entrepreneurs.

32:39.868 --> 32:40.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome.

32:40.348 --> 32:43.710
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, thank you guys so much for listening or watching whatever you chose today.

32:43.730 --> 32:45.431
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just want to tell you to keep on keeping on.

32:46.812 --> 32:47.712
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to say stay strong.
