“If God didn’t have to rescue you, what else could He do in your life?”  Tai Goodwin About Our Guest: Tai Goodwin is the CEO of Profit Momentum and founder of Profit Academy. A firm believer that wealth and spirituality are not mutually exclusive, Tai teaches women how to make bank so they can fund the lifestyle they desire, bring their purpose-based projects to life, and invest in the people and communities that matter to them.

Tai has also been highlighted by Money Magazine, Black Enterprise, and The BOSS Network.   Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Tai and I have a very candid conversation about how flawed religious beliefs keep people shackled to a scarcity mindset.  I have to be honest, you might not like what we have to say BUT you need to take every single word in. Tai and I share how moving from religion to spirituality has made the difference in how our lives bring us abundance financially and spiritually. Remember that we are created in the image and likeness of God, which is WHY we ARE worthy and we DO deserve it.  Further, when we move from religion and build a relationship with God spiritually and begin to see ourselves the way God sees us, our lives will be changed forever and your business (and life) will experience a big breakthrough. Again, while we might ruffle your religious feathers, our prayer is that you walker away with a true vision of how God sees you. And, Tai and I created a roadmap for you to stop being religiously shackled to struggle so that you can start experiencing abundance at the God level. Listen in to discover: The 7 steps to go from shackled to significance and abundance Why religion will keep you bound to a life you don’t love How to live into the abundance that you are entitled to How your beliefs are determining your reality How making the adjustments we share will show up in your business How you’re teaching your clients how to pay you  Powerful Quotes from the show: “Wealth and spiritually aren’t mutually exclusive.” Tai Goodwin “Scarcity mindsets keep ‘believers’ trapped in a reality that is anything but abundance.” Tai Goodwin “We teach clients how to pay us.” Tai Goodwin via Dr Phil “When God gives you something it won’t need batteries.” Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “God is principled.”  Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “God is not holding anything back from you.” Darnyelle Jervey Harmon  “God wants to do more than rescue you. If God didn’t have to rescue you so much what else could He do in your life?”  Tai Goodwin  “The secrets of abundance created in the origin text in the bible isn’t a secret, it’s hidden in plain sight.”  Tai Goodwin “You have already been given everything you need to go out and create.”  Tai Goodwin “Create it first and then it shows up.” Tai Goodwin The Model of Abundance:  who must I be, so that I can do what I do and have what I want to have The Model of Lack:  what do I have to have so that I can do what I want to do and be who I want to be“Boundaries keep things out but they also keep things in.” Tai Goodwin “The higher the investment, the more attention your clients will give to your brilliance.” Tai Goodwin  “People are looking to you to demonstrate what’s possible for them.”  Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “There are other ways to be a blessing besides giving your services away.”  Tai Goodwin   Questions to ask yourself when you’re experiencing a scarcity mindset: Why isn’t everything I’ve heard and been told to believe working? What if what I was told wasn’t the key to creating wealth? Who gave you the message?   The 7 Steps to Shift From Struggle and Scarcity to Abundance Decide that you desire and deserve wealth Step boldly into the vision of that decision and see yourself how God sees you Create consistently from a space of power – using God’s words “I am” Take action; move into the direction of your creation (faith it until you make it) Get rid of what doesn’t serve your highest good – the words, the people, - set the boundaries to keep you operating at your highest levels Celebrate and find the moments of gratitude Give Tai’s Incredible Factor Wisdom Questions: Last books Tai read:  Healing:  The Radical Act of Self-Care by Dr Joy Lewis How to Become Money by Gary Douglas Favorite Quote:  “God and the Universe is my unlimited and infinite source and I am receiving huge amounts of money under the grace of God for my good and for the good of everyone concerned….”  Jack Canfield Tool Tai can’t live without to grow her business:   Her Calendar!    My name is Tai and because I know God has my back I will continue to shake the planet.

Today's guest following the words of Steve Jobs, is a remarkable woman, business lady, and entrepreneur who believes in something profound, and has created a career around that something too. Something that I buy into wholeheartedly. She believes that life should be built on finding your key strengths and leading the way with them. Not focusing on the things that you cant do very well, but finding the super talent that you do naturally well to then blaze a path across the world. Starting her career as a Sales Executive for Business To Business back in 1998, it appears that the path best trodden for her actually started when moving into staff development. Like myself she has spent most of her working life, building the strengths of individuals in corporations to make better, higher functioning teams. Getting people to feel inspired by the working day instead of dreading that ringing sound by the side of the bed. But what interests me is what personally was driving her back in the day. As with a career strewn with employment lasting a couple of years at each time, it is clear to me that her ambition, was equally matched with a desire to find her thing too. And now as a podcaster herself, or as she calls herself the Chief Strengths Sleuth: Host of the “Lead Through Strengths”​ Podcast: she helps people find and leverage their strengths at work. Complimenting her workshops, keynote speaking and by performing a role of StrengthsFinder Performance Coach, which as you know is a publication that I have recommended many times on the show she is busier than ever.. So what is it about keynote strengths that lights her up inside and makes her want to build a business around it? And is the inner talent something that is easy for someone to find themselves, or do they need a coach or mentor to point it out? And what is the fascination with moonwalking in offices, or leaping dramatically from exploding vans? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots, with the one and only entrepreneur Lisa Cummings. To hear more from Lisa Cummings go to: Podcast: Lead Through Strengths with Lisa Cummings | building engaged teams & stronger leadership w/ StrengthsFinder & natural talents By Lisa Cummings answers your career questions with the fun & irreverence of Pamela Slim & the practicality of Careerealism, using Gallup Strengths Finder to discover and apply your unique strengths Description: The Lead Through Strengths podcast was created for you if you're ready to stop taking the "path of most resistance" at work. It sounds silly, yet it happens all the time when people get focused on fixing their weaknesses. It doesn't have to be so hard. Stop focusing on what's broken about you. In Career Q&A, I'll show you how to find your strengths and put them to work. In the Manager Minute, you'll hear ideas for leading your team so they can come to work feeling more energized and engaged. If you're ready to get your career mojo back, Lisa Cummings delivers it with straight talk and a fun-loving approach. Listener career questions are answered in less than 15 minutes per episode. Strengths evangelists and effective leaders also guest host to offer more ideas you can put to use with your team at work. Here are some hot topic areas covered by audience questions so far: Getting promoted; discovering your strengths; getting energized and engaged with your work (yup, it's possible); differentiating yourself in an interview; career transition; marketing, branding, and promoting yourself; getting unstuck; connecting and networking; job search; personal leadership; side hustles; politics and perceptions at the office; getting viewed as an A player; building trust and influence at work or in your industry; money and happiness; how to get your creative mojo back; understanding how your EQ (emotional intelligence) is more important than your IQ at work; stuff you didn't learn in business school that's hurting your career; getting unstuck and un-trapped; and being a better leader Wanna be on the show? If you're a leader with stories about Strengths-Based Development, you'd be a cool co-host.
