Luke 18:1-8 - Who Will You Meet Today?

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

Play Episode Listen Later May 8, 2025 4:51


Todaywe will be looking at a new chapter, Luke chapter 18. Over 50 years ago when I was in BibleCollege in Lynchburg, I went to Winchester, Virginia, to be a part of startinga new church, Shenandoah Valley Baptist Church. Right after I graduated in1975, I became the senior pastor of the church. Shortly after that, I met adear friend who greatly influenced our lives and greatly encouraged andassisted us in my early days of ministry. His name was Dave Sisler. Wewere very sorry and sad to hear that Dave went to be with the Lord earlier thisweek. He was someone who invested in us in many different ways. One of the wayshe tried to help us, I'll never forget, was taking me and my brother-in-law,Ronnie Riggins, to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, because we were getting ready toplant a new church up there. Ronnie was going to go up there and meet somepeople and start a church, and we were excited about that. So Dave took us upto Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and he introduced us to a man that he knew by thename of Charlie “Tremendous” Jones. Dave was involved in Amway in a really bigway, and Charlie Tremendous Jones was one of the top motivational speakers inthe world at that time and spoke at the Amway conventions. So Dave personallyknew him. I'llnever forget our first meeting with Charlie Tremendous Jones there inHarrisburg, Pennsylvania, in his bookstore with Ronnie Riggins and Dave. That'sa longer story, but Charlie Tremendous Jones, over the years, also became apart of the church that was started there with Ronnie, and became a friend ofours too. One of the things that Charlie was famous for saying is, “Two thingswill change your life more than anything else in the next five years are thepeople you meet and the books you read.” Isaid all that to first give honor to my friend Dave Sisler. He's going to begreatly missed by many people, especially his family, but also to make a point.The Bible is a book of people. If you want to learn the Bible, learn the peopleof the Bible. God introduces us to people in the Bible, and through thesepeople, the main person we meet is God Himself. When you meet people, you meetthem in their books, you meet them in their lives, you meet them in theirstories, and your life can be forever changed because. And especially throughthe people of the Bible, you meet God. Now,in this story in front of us today in Luke chapter 18, Jesus is teaching alesson about prayer, that men ought always to pray, not to faint, not to giveup hope. This parable is teaching us that either we're going to be praying, orwe're going to be fainting, quitting, throwing up our hands, throwing in thetowel, and walking away from our Christianity. The importance and the power andplace of prayer that Jesus speaks about here is wonderful. SoJesus told this parable, saying, “There was in a certain city a judge whodid not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city, and shecame to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.' And he would notfor a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear Godnor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest byher continual coming she weary me.'” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjustjudge said. And shall not God avenge His own elect who cry out day and night toHim, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge themspeedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on theearth?” Forthe next few days, we'll be talking about this parable and the three people inthis story that we're going to meet: the widow lady, the unjust judge, and thewidow's adversary. Through them, we're going to hear and learn about how greatour God is to take care of us when we cry out to Him day and night. Todayyou might think about who you're going to meet and how you can influence theirlives or maybe how they might influence your life.

REWIND: When God Changes Your Social Circle

Purpose Without Apology

Play Episode Play 40 sec Highlight Listen Later Dec 21, 2021 43:24


Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, a well-known leader in the personal and professional development industry, famously said, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read." Most of the time, you choose who those people are, but sometimes God chooses for you.How to know that God is changing your social circle:You start feeling uncomfortable around your current circle.This discomfort can take many forms, but often it shows up as a sense that you no longer belong. Things may irritate you that didn't bother you before, for example.Conflict increases between you and your circle, often seemingly out of nowhere.This is different from the normal conflict that occurs in every relationship. Don't let an aversion to conflict convince you that a relationship is over.Your support system begins criticizing you, claiming that “you've changed.”You meet new people who you connect with easily, and who have a positive impact on you.This often happens when God wants to increase your responsibility.You are “reintroduced” to people you already knew, but now you see them in a different light or get to know them on a deeper level.What to do once you realize God is changing your social circle:Identify what God is saying through these changes.For example, I struggle with confrontation, so God has been pushing me to take an active role in ending certain relationships lately, instead of just passively pulling away.Make sure that God is pushing the change and not the enemy.Accept that you may not completely understand why God is changing certain things until later, if at all.Acknowledge how the changes make you feel.Embrace the changes and believe that God's plans are best (Jeremiah 29:11).What not to do:Fight the change by either holding onto the old or rejecting the new.Isolate yourself from people in general.Cut off people when God didn't tell you to.Key Point: There's a difference between following God and acting out of your own bitterness, unforgiveness, or immaturity. If your social circle changes every year, you are the problem.Action Step: Get out a sheet of paper and divide it into 3 columns. In the first column, list the top 5-10 people in your life right now. In the second column, write a few words that describe the positive traits each of these people brings to your life. In the third column, write the positive things that you contribute to their lives. How do Columns 2 and 3 compare? Do they feel balanced? Are you happy with who is on your list? If not, what are some changes you could make today to improve things?

What am I Supposed to Do With the Rest of My Life? Until you can clearly and simply articulate what you want, you'll keep drifting. Most of us have no idea what we really want in life. The anxiety over vocation and purpose is something that vexes us until we get clear on what we really want. It takes time, sometimes a lifetime, to get to this point of clarity and singularity. Once you see the beauty in the journey and not just in the usefulness of it, you can begin liberating yourself. You already have everything within you to figure it out; it's a matter of self-awareness and self-discipline. My guest Dr. Tracey Jones is an author, speaker, veteran, publisher, podcaster, and international leadership expert, who currently serves as President of Tremendous Leadership. She picked up the reigns from her father, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones in 2008. Tracey is a passionate lifelong learner whose career spans top positions in four major industries from the military to high tech to defense contracting and publishing.

She is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, a decorated veteran who served in the First Gulf War and Bosnian War. Tracey is the author of ten titles, one of them the book SPARK: was an Amazon #1 new release. Now, Tracy, you have been reading personal development books most of your life. What kind of difference do you think that made in your life? Tracy: It made all the difference in the world can and I have to tell you I joked that my father was up a “book a-holic” and a he was a book pusher. Flunked out of school in the 8th grade. Mother left him, abuse, came out of the depression era born in the South. Everything was against my father, but Charlie Tremendous Jones famously said, this when I was a young girl, “That you're going to be the same person that you are today from 5 years ago except for two things the people you meet and the books you read. He was the living embodiment of that. So, I tell people I read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” before the “Poky Little Puppy” He was very much, you're going to read, you're going to read good content, and you're going to fill your brain with great stuff. Cause trash in, trash out; good in and good out. Tracy: …. you know what I did? I went back to school. Cuz, I thought I can't interact with people right now. I've got to get in my headspace, that's why I went back for my Ph.D. It was the best thing I could have done. I had to get out of my own way and I had to relearn my horrible habits and get on the path. I could see other people on the path, why can't I be on the path? I know I get on the path but I've got to do the work. So I read a book called “The Power of the Other” by Doctor Henry Cloud. He's one of my favorite authors; He saves people. Books like “Necessary Endings” and “Boundaries.” I mean “Necessary Endings” I give that to everyone and they're like “thank you so much for giving me that.” Because there is so much that out there; I'm sorry folks this is not Utopia we live in a fallen world. You put up the boundaries and you only allow in the good, that's not selfish that's the way it needs to be!

In 2004, I attended an amazing three-day leadership Summit in Anaheim California. It was organised by the late great Jim ‘how to have your best year ever’ Rohn with a host of other speakers including Brian Tracy, Denis Waitley and Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones!   It was one of the best organised events I’ve ever attended. I bought a gold ticket and was given an allocated seats three rows from the front.   As I walked into this massive room with about 2000 people in attendance, there was a loud rock music playing and lights flashing with cameras flying all over the place recording every moment. To say the atmosphere was electric was an understatement. It was like an earthquake of energy.   I was pleased to have an allocated seat because I hate that scrum you get when the doors open. People charging up the aisles to reserve a good seat. This was civilised and organised.   During the intervals you didn’t have to queue up through one door to get out. All the side doors were opened and right opposite where the line of tables with a drink station of water and free coffee. There are no long queues and waiting 20 minutes to get a coffee.   I sat down on my seat and said hello to the people either side of me, one of whom was a friendly young guy called Jeff Roberti.   I got chatting to him and asked him what he did. He said he was a network marketing.   Immediately I thought, okay, struggling multilevel marketing who has invested a fortune in stock pod up in his garage and he’s not making any money. My assumption could not be further from the truth.   Turns out Jeff had gone from being a waiter in Florida to joining a vitamin company and building a massive worldwide team. At the time I met him, he had just passed the “$50 million in commissions”. I later had a chance to meet Jim Rohn who knew Jeff very well and confirmed his $50 million success story. I contacted Jeff 10 years later and he was pushing $100 million and still with the same company.   Later that day, one of the speakers gave us an exercise. He asked us to turn to the person next to us and exchange our number one best tip for success.   I turned to Jeff and he started with his tip.   He became very serious and looked me in the eye and said:   “Charles, if you want be successful you have to focus on one thing at a time and keep doing that thing to the best of your ability until you succeed”   He added that when he was a waiter, he was the best waiter in the restaurant and when he joined the vitamin network marketing company, he gave it everything he had with all of his focus and attention.   Then he said okay now it’s your turn.   How the hell can I follow that? What am I going to say to him? He is my tip to make another $50 million! I can’t even remember what I said but I mumbled some rubbish and he thanked me.   What am I saying here? Am I telling you to join a network marketing company, no! You have to find whatever is right for you, but whatever it is, you must focus with all your attention and energy on that.   Nowadays, we are bombarded by millions of messages and advertisements on social media, email and television all seeking our attention.   People find it so hard to focus and concentrate that they can barely finish a book.   It’s so easy to hop from one thing to another chasing that shiny penny like a lost butterfly.   I’ve just completed a mindfulness course and part of being mindful is developing the ability to focus. Focusing on your breathing for instance.   Most people find it difficult to focus on one thing at a time. Their minds drift from subject to subject like a butterfly. Mindfulness teaches you to keep coming back to your breathing. Just focus on your breath.   In your business and career this can often lead to a lack of success.   The ability to focus is crucial to success in any endeavour.   I once heard a talk by Brian Tracy who said that he was always amazed that the dumbest kid in the class often turned out to be the most successful. He joked at how it is always so annoying to find that somebody dumber than you, is richer than you.   What Brian was really talking about was that they are the people that just focus on one thing rather than multi-tasking on dozens of things.   My mother told me a story about when she was growing up in Ireland in the 1940s. There was one boy in class who are so dumb that he tried to push a donkey with two baskets on its back through an narrow gate. Everybody could see that there was no way the donkey could get through with two baskets either side of his back. At this boy did was to keep pushing it.   A few years later houses in rural areas were being wired for electricity. This same “dumb” boy watched how they did the job and somehow picked up on it.   He then went on to wire every house in the area making a substantial amount of money and building a new business. That’s all he focused on wiring houses.   Of course, being branded as dumb just because you are not academic is entirely wrong and discriminatory. Just because somebody is not academic it does not mean that they are not intelligent or ignorant. After all, not everybody is interested in the classics, literature and poetry – the sort of knowledge that Napoleon Hill described as the kind of “general” or non-specialised knowledge is not needed to make a fortune.    We now though that IQ, largely measured by solving problems, is not the only measure of intelligence.   Footballers are often mocked because they appear to be stupid and inarticulate and uneducated. This is a snobbish middle-class view of intelligence.   Wayne Rooney was ridiculed for being stupid in the media. Yet he had an amazing ability on the field to analyse complex positions and situations of play. He could judge the accuracy of the shots or pass with uncanny ability. He could also time a header or an overhead kick of a ball flying through the air at 50 mph and score a goal. Just because he lacked academic ability, because he spent his youth focusing solely on developing his skills as a footballer, does not mean that he is dumb.   If you want to have your best year ever, use mindfulness and focus to concentrate on the really important things that matter to you and your family most. Don’t waste your time on distractions or get hung up because you can’t answer the questions on Who Wants to be a Millionaire!   Set your goals and targets and keep focusing on them. And when you mind wanders, keep “coming back to the breath”.   I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!   More articles and money news available atMoney Tips Podcast - www.moneytipsdaily.com By Charles Kelly, Wealth Mentor, Property Investor, Author of Yes, Money Can Buy You Happiness and creator of Money Tips Podcast.

Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, a well-known leader in the personal and professional development industry, famously said, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read." Most of the time, you choose who those people are, but sometimes God chooses for you.How to know that God is changing your social circle:You start feeling uncomfortable around your current circle.This discomfort can take many forms, but often it shows up as a sense that you no longer belong. Things may irritate you that didn’t bother you before, for example.Conflict increases between you and your circle, often seemingly out of nowhere.This is different from the normal conflict that occurs in every relationship. Don’t let an aversion to conflict convince you that a relationship is over.Your support system begins criticizing you, claiming that “you’ve changed.”You meet new people who you connect with easily, and who have a positive impact on you.This often happens when God wants to increase your responsibility.You are “reintroduced” to people you already knew, but now you see them in a different light or get to know them on a deeper level.What to do once you realize God is changing your social circle:Identify what God is saying through these changes.For example, I struggle with confrontation, so God has been pushing me to take an active role in ending certain relationships lately, instead of just passively pulling away.Make sure that God is pushing the change and not the enemy.Accept that you may not completely understand why God is changing certain things until later, if at all.Acknowledge how the changes make you feel.Embrace the changes and believe that God’s plans are best (Jeremiah 29:11).What not to do:Fight the change by either holding onto the old or rejecting the new.Isolate yourself from people in general.Cut off people when God didn’t tell you to.Key Point: There’s a difference between following God and acting out of your own bitterness, unforgiveness, or immaturity. If your social circle changes every year, you are the problem.Action Step: Get out a sheet of paper and divide it into 3 columns. In the first column, list the top 5-10 people in your life right now. In the second column, write a few words that describe the positive traits each of these people brings to your life. In the third column, write the positive things that you contribute to their lives. How do Columns 2 and 3 compare? Do they feel balanced? Are you happy with who is on your list? If not, what are some changes you could make today to improve things?

I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.” – Henry David Thoreau “The foolishest book is a kind of leaky boat on a sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in anyhow.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes “These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice… and just as the touch of a button on our set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart.” – Gilbert Highet “Women are by nature fickle, and so are men.

Everyone should be in therapy. It’s good for the body, mind, and soul. It helps unpack baggage and enables us to deconstruct the mysteries that vex us in life. In The Three Therapies of Life, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones shares practical and applicable ways to heal yourself so you can continue to impact others and change lives. I uncovered this material from a DVD I found. It was recorded back in the ’90s when my father was in his heyday (which was technically every day). In this message, he spoke to an audience of fellow speakers and presenters at the National Speakers Association (NSA). His words rang truer to my ears and heart than they ever had before. I guess I needed some “Tremendous” therapy….

This will help them see with their heart what they heard with their ear. If you’re going to tell people something to their face and it involves their feelings, you better go to their heart and help them see. I love to see where I’m wrong. You love to see where you’re wrong. But isn’t it horrible to have to hear you’re wrong? If you’re going to have a great life while you do a great job, you need to learn how to laugh at your failures. Laughing at your failures doesn’t mean you like to fail. It means if you’re not learning how to laugh and build on your heartaches, you’ll never do much. You see, if you’re going to be serious, you’d better learn how to make things lighter because they’re carrying a heavy enough load already without you burdening them more. The first mark of greatness is thankfulness. The first sign of smallness is thanklessness. If we don’t start learning to be happy when we’ve got nothing, we will never be thankful and happy when we have everything. More is said from a thankful heart than will ever be said with any mind—no matter how brilliant you are. I guess I’m the luckiest person ever born. You know why? When you were born in the ’20s and raised in the early ’30s, you know what you learned? You learned you didn’t have anything but people. There are some things, my dear friend, you don’t get out of by talking to anybody. You’ve got to love through it and sometimes, it never goes away. Other people have to know this and you need to help them know it.

Rod sits down with Tremendous Tracey Jones.   Author of eight books and counting, Dr. Tracey C. Jones is a motivational speaker, business leadership resource, and president of Tremendous Leadership - a company that offers you the very best books, resources and programs to cultivate your professional and personal development.  Tracy's story is really the beginning of a beautiful love story. Her Father and mentor, motivational speaker Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, always talked about how he hit the trifecta when he met her mother, got involved in the insurance industry and found Christ. His love for his family and his work provided Tracy with a lifelong example of great leadership which she strives to uphold to this day.  Tracy describes her childhood as a cross between bootcamp and a sitcom. Her father was an incredibly driven individual with a great sense of humor. For him, everything had a purpose and more than that, it had to be fun!  She grew up believing work was a vacation because if you love what you do your work is a joy.  She recalls that her vacations often consisted of packing up in an RV and going around to speaking engagements for her father. If they weren't on the road traveling to speaking engagements, there were many other things to do such as get a job, work in the yard or play.  Watching TV was not an option because they were locked up in the attic!  Tracy grew up listening to other great mentors as well.  Zig Zigler, Ted Blanchard and Norman Vincent Peale all influenced her and so many others in her industry because they bring value to the table and their stories are triumphant.  Listening to these stories and those of her father taught her life was never easy. Tracy's father taught self-efficacy, resilience, tenacity, and adaptive capacity. He encouraged her to “go out and earn [her] stripes” and often reminded her that “Life is great, but it is what you make of it” and “It doesn't matter what life throws at you it is how you respond to it”. With these ideals in mind Tracey decided she wanted to serve her country.  She went into the Airforce academy and graduated as a Lieutenant who then got trained to work on fighter jets- F15 & 16s. After the military Tracey moved to Austin, Texas to work in the high tech field.  She worked for a Fortune 100 company with a great leadership but after a couple of years, she realized that everything is the same.  Even though she was out of the bureaucracy of the government, so many of the same people, problems, and processes hadn't changed.  She was looking for something more.  Tracey moved to St Louis to work in defense contracting. She was excited to blend her Fortune 100 edge with her love for the military.  Two years into it, the same issues arose.  She knew she needed to make a change and do something that was going to make a difference.   Tracey always knew there was something more for her.  Growing up around entrepreneurs she knew that someday she would love to do her own thing. Her father always told her you have two choices:  work for yourself or work for someone else.  As long as you work for someone else there will always be the bureaucratic side to things.  It wasn't until her father's failing health that she told him she was going to come back and run the family business.  After the break Rod and Tracey discuss how you sell yourself and business. Hint: Repeat business and ask for referrals!  Rod and Tracey close out the show with a bonus section talking about her new book - Igniting the greatness within - SPARK.  Singularity Persistence Advocate  Resource  Knowledge.  Don't miss it!

Quotes: “Christ gives you something better than a feeling, HIMSELF.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones “You can’t decide who’s gonna get saved. Before we were born, God knew us.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones “The Lord is one of two places; outside of your house knocking to get in, or inside your heart never to get out.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones “Some hurt makes you sweeter, some hurt makes you bitter.

When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired... You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.” – General George S.

From now on, when you hear a sermon. From now on, when you hear a speaker. Take out your pen.

Interrupting the train of thought.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones “The purpose of every work of God is that every one of us has the same life story.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones “There’s one thing I know tonight.

He was absolutely confounded by the behavior of one of his daughters… and in his attempt to figure it out, he got received some really clear guidance, which led him to focus his time, effort, and energy on understanding others.    That spark moved him into a whole new focus for his life and work. Dr. Rohm is the Founder of Personality Insights, a company that has him traveling the globe working for organizations and companies large and small helping people learn about personality. While there’s certainly a depth of self-awareness hidden in what he teaches, his purpose and recommendation to participants is to help us see, hear, and understand others better.    His teachings on the DiSC Profile allow his students to understand others better so they are able to communicate with the people around them in a manner that will lead to better outcomes. Essentially, the idea is to meet others where they are; don’t expect them to come to you or adopt your style.    While it’s masquerading as a meaningful conversation, today’s episode is really a MasterClass in understanding others and effective communication. So prepare to take notes, and likely you’ll want to listen to this one more than once because there are so many golden nuggets. Enjoy!   Dr. Rohm’s Bio Dr. Robert A. Rohm is a world-class communicator and keynote speaker who entertains and enlightens audiences with his keen insight into relationships and personal development.

It was so good that she read another two books by the same author, Steve Denning, the former Senior Executive of the World bank. The titles were The Springboard, Squirrel Inc and The Leaders Guide to Storytelling. The content she read prompted her to leave corporate life and start a company teaching leaders how to share stories. Fast forward a few years and Gabrielle got the opportunity to see Steve speak. Then after another couple of years passed, she had a coffee with him on one of his trips to Australia. You may be interested to know that Steve was born and raised in Sydney.

He’s invited by some of the world's top salesmen to help them sell more.    He’s incredible...and amazing at it - I’ve learned SO much from him.    Every time he speaks, I take out a pen and paper...    (Hint, hint...cue, cue...to everybody here!)   Please take out a piece of paper and take notes!    This is a man who’s likely to make MORE money arrive in your pocket just by listening to him... ;-)   Mr. Myron Golden. Myron: Hey, Steve. How are you doing, man?    Steve: Fantastic. Thanks for being on here, man.   Myron: Absolutely my pleasure to be on Sales Funnel Radio, talking to one of my favorite trainers...teachers… ‘OfferMinds…’   Ooh, did you see what I did there?! ;-)   Steve: That's good!     Honestly, thanks so much for taking the time. The feeling is mutual.    I have notebooks upon notebooks from your things.    Every time you come speak...or anytime I’m at Inner Circle or one of Russell's events, I’d fill a WHOLE legal pad.    And thinking…     "Oh, man, that was amazing."       "No, that was better than the last."        "Oh, my gosh, they're getting better…”      Myron: You're kind, thank you.   Steve: You are just an incredible salesperson.    You have so much skill and so much knowledge...    I've watched you unplanned…    (...and I know you've done this multiple times!)    ….get up and pitch someone's product better than they pitch it to an audience that doesn't know you…   AND you'll make MORE sales than the actual owner of the product!   How do you do that?! I know that's a huge question, but that's amazing…   HAVING NO INHIBITIONS   Myron: First of all, how I do that in particular, is how I sell.    First and foremost, I have to believe in the thing that I'm selling. If I believe in the thing that I'm selling, then it's easy for me to sell it.    What I mean by that is...   Most salespeople don't even realize that they haven't gotten out of their own way yet.    Most people who sell things, whether they sell cars, or sell shoes, or sell online courses… or whatever...     … they believe that selling is doing something ‘TO’ people not doing something *FOR* them.    So first and foremost, I look at selling as a service.    I look at it as something that I do *FOR* people’ that makes their lives better. It makes the world a better place because people like me are selling.   So I don't have ANY inhibitions.    For example...a pitcher will have pain in his shoulder, and he can't throw the ball as fast, or a golfer will have pain in his back and he can't swing.    Because subconsciously, his body knows that, “This movement is gonna hurt me or hurt someone.”    Right?    When we are incongruent or when we have incongruence about selling in general, that makes it hard for us to sell things.    I think the thing that I have going for me when it comes to selling is that I have *NO* incongruence in me whatsoever.    If I feel like a product isn’t good, then I wouldn't sell it to somebody in the first place!    Does that make sense?    Steve: Yeah, that makes sense.   Myron: I get out of my own way.   Steve: And I mean, you've done that multiple times.    I saw you do that at Dream 100 Con.    I mean, you're the guy that Russell Brunson asks to come re-pitch ClickFunnels' amazing offer after he's pitched!   Myron: Yeah.   Steve: It's impressive.   Myron: I'm honored. I'm honored by Russell. I appreciate him more than I can say...  I've got so much belief in what he offers, that selling a Russell Brunson coaching program is easy for me to sell.   (...even though he doesn't consider himself a guru, okay? I'm gonna call him my bounce-back guru.)    Because I went out, made a fortune and had a lot of great things happen in my life.    And then…    I went through seven years of life devastation.   Like every year, major tragedy after major tragedy, of some kind, happened in my life.    ...from 2007 through 2013.    I signed up for another coaching program in 2014 and I just didn't like that kind of work.    I don't believe that the key to success is to find something you're passionate about and the money will follow.’’   I DON’T believe that's true.   Steve: I don't either.   Myron: But I do believe that…    If the work that you’re doing doesn’t match the person that you are, you will never create wealth or massive world change in that arena - because your ‘doing’ has to match your ‘being’.  Right?    The coaching program was great; they had a lot of people making A LOT of money...it just wasn't the kind of work that suited me.    After that in 2015, I joined Russell's Inner Circle and my life has been on an upward trajectory financially, ever since then.    Selling a Russell Brunson coaching program? That's like the easiest thing in the world for me to sell!    Because he is the one person who I can point at and say, incontrovertibly, has helped more people to become millionaires in a shorter period of time than ANY other human being I've ever known of.   Steve: Yeah, not even just “known of”. I've never heard of anyone doing that!   Myron: Exactly.    And he's not an MLM guy. He's just a guy who teaches you frameworks that work.    So standing up and selling his product is easy because…    I wasn't selling the product I was selling the payoff   ...and I know what the payoff is because I get paid from that payoff all the time!   So that's why, if I can look at something and it makes sense, then it's easy for me to see how it makes sense...    ...then it's easy for me to say HOW it makes sense in a way that's easy for people to receive.   Steve: It's powerful stuff! And you know what's funny?   I feel like there's a lot of people who are jumping in entrepreneurship…   (which is great!)   ….but they do it under this notion that it's NOT sales, it's “entrepreneurship”.    But  like,  “ Eh, entrepreneurship IS sales. It's a sales role."   Myron: Yeah, exactly.   Steve: And if you're lying to yourself about that, you're already a bad entrepreneur!   To be an entrepreneur is to be a salesperson.   Myron: Exactly.   Steve: How can people be better?    How can they get rid of the inhibitions around selling?   Myron: Let's start with this.    So as you just said…   The reason that people say, “I'm an entrepreneur, I'm not a salesman,"    (What does that even mean?)    ...that is because they think there's something inherently wrong with sales!    But I'm gonna fix that right now.    BLOOD & SALES   …. the people reading right now - they can agree or disagree.    If you disagree ...here's what I'm gonna say to you…   ”You've been wrong before… congratulations, it's happening again!”   So I happen to have some money in my pocket….   ….if you take some money out of your pocket, any amount of money… and you look at that money - just check it out - and you’ll realize that:    All of the money that you have...    All of the money you will ever have...   To do the things…    You desire to do for yourself...   For the people that you love...   The causes that you care about...   The only reason it's possible for me, you, or anyone else to ever have money is because somebody somewhere sold something to someone for a profit.    PERIOD.   (I wasn’t gonna go here, but I will…)   Money is like blood, right?    Money is like blood, in that, money is stored in a bank.    Where's blood stored?    Steve: In your body.   Myron: Well, no, it's stored in a blood bank.    Money is stored in a money bank, right?    Steve: Oh, I get what you're saying.   Myron: Blood is stored in a blood bank.    Blood has to be in circulation in order to give life to your body and money has to be in circulation in order to give life to the economy.   Steve: I love that.    Myron: Right? So money is very much like blood.  Blood carries oxygen to every part of your body.    Money doesn't really carry oxygen, but it does help you breathe.    … because when you don't have any money, you feel like you can't breathe.   Steve: That's true.   Myron: Right?    But also…    Money is a mass noun, just like blood is a mass noun.    Yesterday, I went and got some blood drawn - I didn't go get ‘A blood’ drawn, I got SOME blood drawn.    … even though it's singular, it's a mass noun.    So you have to put “some” (which is plural) in front of a singular word.    You'd never say "I gave A blood," because that doesn't make any sense.    I gave SOME blood. Well, guess what?    When it comes to money, you wouldn't say, "I gave A money..."   It's SOME money.    Money and blood are both mass nouns.    Money and blood are both fungible.    Q: Now, what does fungible mean?    Well, you drove my car when you were in Tampa.   Steve: Yeah, great car, beautiful car.   Myron: With my name on the floor mat.   Steve: On the floor mats right there, that was...wooooo!   Myron: I drive a Bentley Continental GT.    If I let Steve borrow my car, when he brings my car back, my car is NOT fungible.    It's a car, but he can't bring me back a Volkswagen Jetta and say, "Here Myron, here's a car."    You have to bring back the same car!    ...or at least the same kind of car in, at least the same kind of condition.   (Preferably my car, right?)   So if somebody borrows a car, a car is NOT fungible.    If somebody borrows my golf clubs...    (… I wouldn't let somebody borrow my golf clubs 'cause those are my babies!)      But if I did, it's like, "No, you can't bring me back some other golf clubs."    "Well, they're golf clubs! What difference does it make?"    No! Golf clubs are NOT fungible.    If you give blood at a blood bank and then get in a car accident, you need to go get some blood… they don't have to search through millions of pints of blood to find the exact blood you gave!   Steve: "Oh, here are your cells!"    Myron: Exactly.    They just have to find the same blood type.    It's like with money.    Money is fungible.    If you loan me $5, you don't care if I pay you back the same bill.    Or if you owe me $50 then you don't care if I pay you back a $50 bill. Or two $20s and a $10 or five $10s or 10 $5s.    You don't care.    Q: Why?    A: Because money is fungible.    As long as it's the same currency type (#American dollars), you don't care.    You don't wanna loan me $50 in American dollars and I give you back Costa Rican dollars.    That wouldn't work.    So…    Money and blood are very much alike.   So here's what you gotta realize.    The only reason any of us EVER have any money in our pocket to do…   The things we wanna do    The things we desire for ourselves    The things we desire for people we love or the causes that we care about    … is because somebody somewhere sold something to someone for a profit.    Here's what that means:    Just like money is the blood, it keeps the economy alive, money is the lifeblood of the economy.    Salespeople are the heart of the economy that keeps the blood flowing.    If you are in sales, free yourself from the idea…from this ridiculous Hollywood notion that selling is somehow doing evil in the world.    Hollywood does way more evil in the world than salespeople!   The government tries to demonize business and salesmen and entrepreneurs while they do WAY more evil in the world.     Here's what you gotta realize...    Being a person who is in sales (a salesman or saleswoman) is one of the most noble, honorable positions and vocations in the world.     You make the world go ‘round.   Once you realize how essential salespeople are in the world and how much joy they bring into the world?   Salespeople bring joy into the world!    Remember how good you felt last time somebody sold you a new car? Or somebody sold you a new house? You felt great!   Why?    Because they sold you something that made your life better.    Salespeople bring more joy into the world than almost any other profession.    So once you wrap your mind around what selling really is…   … that FREES you up from all those internal conflicts and incongruencies that create the cognitive dissonance that restrict you from going out and making your offers boldly.   Steve: I 100% believe that.   Myron: That was a long answer.   Steve: But it's an amazing answer.    It drives me crazy…. "Money's evil."    Money is NOT evil, money is an amplifier.    I feel like (most of the time) when someone is NOT good at sales, usually they need to redefine their relationship with money.    They have so many *false beliefs* around money.   Myron: Absolutely.   Steve: Do you find that to be true?    Myron: Absolutely.    I'm gonna say, money IS an amplifier, but I'm gonna add a caveat.   Because money IS an amplifier…    If you're bad, money will make you a worse person, or give you the opportunity to do more evil in the world.    If you're a good person, money will give you the opportunity to do more good in the world   HOWEVER…   Money itself is NOT bad, nor is it neutral. Money itself is good. Money is a good thing.   Steve: Right.   Myron: How can you say money is a good thing?    Q: What is the substance that represents wealth around the world since the beginning of time?    What's that substance?    Steve: Gold.   Myron: Gold, that's right.   Steve: Yeah.   Myron: Gold is the substance that represents wealth.    The first time gold is mentioned in Scripture is in the Garden of Eden.    Here's what God said, "And there was gold in that land, and the gold of that land is good."    Now, wait a minute, wait a minute!    Help me understand something here.    The Garden of Eden is a place where all the food is free.    The Garden of Eden is a place where there were only two people who ever lived there, Adam and Eve, (last I checked, they were married to each other).    There were no stores, there was nothing for sale, and yet God put gold in the Garden of Eden and then, He made sure He told us it was good.   Money is good. It's not neutral. It's not bad. It is inherently good.    You can do bad things with money, but it’s inherently good.    A car is inherently good - it's not bad to not have to walk everywhere you go!    It's good to be able to get places faster and it gives you the ability to save time and put more experiences in your life.    But people have run over people intentionally with cars!   You can do something bad with something that's good but it doesn't make the good thing bad - it just means that a person did a bad thing with it.   Steve: And the person did it, NOT the car, or the gold, or the object!   Myron: You know how you talk about the Capitalist Pig it really irritates people?    THIS MAY OFFEND YOUI'm gonna say something that really irritates people.   Steve: Yeah.    Myron: I'm not attempting intentionally to offend anybody (that's not my intention) but if they get offended…. they should probably grow up a little bit!    So the government talks about gun violence, right?    Steve: Yeah.   Myron: Oh, there's no such thing as gun violence.    I know, I just lost a bunch of people....but I lost the ones I wanted to lose.   Steve: Sure.   Myron: Okay?    There's no such thing as gun violence. I have a whole bunch of guns, not one of them is violent.   (I know I just lost a bunch of people… but I lost the ones I wanted to lose)   Steve: Me too. It's so funny, they're just sitting there and they never harmed anyone.      Myron: They don't do anything to anybody.   They just mind their own business!   In fact, they don't even mind their own business ...because they don't do anything.    They just sit there until I go to the range and I practice.    There's no such thing as gun violence, it's people violence and some of those people use guns.    Nobody talks about...   Steve: Car violence.   Myron: Car violence.    Nobody talks about fist violence.    It's stupid, it's like saying, "My stupid pencil failed that test."    *Your pencil didn't take the test*    Steve: I'm gonna use that one!    I wish I would have known that when I was in elementary school, hah.    “My pencil's broken!”   Myron: "My pencil...I can't believe this... What kind of pencil is this?!”   Steve: So we've gone through and said, “Okay, in order to get better at sales, you really need to embody…” Myron: You have to fall in love with it.   Steve: Sales are incredible.   Myron: You have to fall in love with it.   I love sales and salespeople.    Pray for salespeople every night when you go to bed. Thank God for them every morning when you wake up.    Stop being, "I can't believe that person tried to sell me something."    When somebody tries to sell something to you, get excited about it and watch their process and see what you can learn.   Instead of , "I can't stand these stupid infomercials. I can't stand these stupid commercials….”    I like infomercials… I really love them!    Steve: Me too! I watch them for fun.    Myron: Goodness, they're so entertaining!   I'm like, "Ooh, that is such a great idea!"    Steve: Oh man! So we’re saying …   THE STRUGGLE IS NOT REAL!   Number one: You can't even learn any of the skills or real tactics that you teach if you can't even accept the fact that…    Sales ARE good.   That money IS good.   Myron: Absolutely, absolutely!    And that you are doing good in the world when you sell things to people.    Do you understand that people only buy something because they value the thing they're buying more than they value the money?    It's kind of amazing when you think about it.   Steve: Yeah, money is GOOD. Sales are GOOD.    I'm writing down some of the notes here...    What else would somebody need to do?    I mean these are all major foundational pieces before you even get into tactics…   (or even things that you'll be speaking at OfferMind about)   So what else can somebody do to just increase their sales?    They're like, "Hey, I've got those things, I know sales are GOOD. I know money is GOOD."    What would be the next step?    Myron:    Realize that the struggle is not real, it's imagined.    “But sales are SO hard!”    No, no, no, no, that's just a story you tell yourself.    Sales are NOT hard, you're just NOT good at it.    I love what Jim Rohn said his mentor told him.    He said, "Mr. Rohn, Mr. Rohn. Don't wish it were easier. Wish you were better."   Steve: Ohhhhh...there's some zing on that!   Myron: That's juicy, ain't it?    Steve: It's a little sting, there. A little spicy.   Myron: Yeah, he was like, "Sales is hard."    No, no, no, no. It ain't the problem.    Sales are not hard. Sales are really, really easy! You just don't know how to do it.    Jim Rohn said his mentor, Mr. Earl Shoaff asked him, “So how much money do you make?"    He said, “Well, I don't make that much. I'm broke.”    His mentor said, “How is it that you, being 26 years old and a healthy American male...and you're broke?”    He said, “Well, I can't help it. This is the job I have. This is all they pay.”   His mentor said, “Well, now Mr. Rohn that's not true. Let me ask you a question. Are there people who work for your company that get paid more than you get paid?"    He said, "Yes."    His mentor said, "Well then, that's not all they pay. That's just all they pay YOU."   And I said, "That is so good!"   Steve: I totally I can hear his voice as you say that. You do it well!   Myron: That's all they pay *YOU*    So what we have to realize is…    Mr. Rohn said, "It's too expensive."    "No, Mr. Rohn. The problem is not that it's too expensive. The problem is that you can't afford it."    We always wanna blame it on something outside of ourselves.    We always wanna relieve ourselves from the responsibility to do the thing, but the reality is... the reality is that sales ISN’T hard…   “…I just haven't learned how to do it yet!”   I'm gonna tell you something, Steve.    I have NOT always been good at sales.    When I got started in sales in 1985 selling insurance and investments through a company called AL Williams, I was not even good enough to be bad yet.    I was so bad, I was worse than bad!    I got started in October of 1985 and I did not make my first sale until April of 1987.    I was working and doing presentations... and I was woefully awful.    See, here's what happens.    Most people are not willing to be bad long enough to get good.   I was making offers and doing presentations from October of 1985 to April of 1987.    (By the way, if you're counting that's 18 months before I made a single, solitary sale.)   Shortly after I made that first sale, I became the top salesperson in our office month after month after month after month.    Some of you will say, "Well, Myron. How did you do that? What was it that changed for you, that took you from not being able to make the sale, to being the top salesperson in your office?"    *EASY*    I ran out of all the ways that wouldn't work.   Steve: Mat time!   Myron: The only thing I had left? The ways that it WOULD work.    It's so amazing, Steve.    People resist the only activity that can help them get better at the thing they are desiring to do.   They'll create all kinds of creative avoidance around not doing the one thing, i.e.,    Making offers   Doing presentations.   DON’T HIDE   I'm gonna tell you something, I've got a young lady who's in one of my high-end coaching programs.    Her name's Eileen, I think you met her.    This particular coaching program is $40,000 and they have to put at least half down and then they get on weekly bank drafts, right?    So she's like, "Myron, I really wanna get in this and I don't have the money. I don't know what to do."    First of all, she came to me and she didn't hide from me.    She came to me and said, "I don't have the money. I don't know what to do. What should I do?"    I'm like, "This person's gonna be awesome."    … because when they didn't have the answer, they knew there was an answer…   ... and so they ASKED for the answer instead of avoiding the place where they could get the answer.   Steve: Yes. I'm a student of exceptions.    If you don't have the means, or you don't have whatever...    JUST FIND ANOTHER WAY.    It doesn't mean that you're blocked!   You keep moving!   Myron: Yeah, exactly.   Here's what I told her:    "Eileen, you already have a $4000 offer. Raise the price to six and make more offers.    In fact, take the people who are in your current database right now and give them a date at which you're gonna raise your price to $6000 and give them an opportunity to get it now for only $4000.    Raise your prices."    I said, "Then the second thing you wanna do, raise your prices and make more offers."    Now, here's what make more offers means to me: *Collapsed timeframe*.    Take the number of offers you would do in the next year and do that in the next month!   Take the number of offers you'd do in the next month and do that in the next week!   Take the number of offers you'd do in the next seven days and do that many offers today!    You will have the money in less than 30 days.    She called me a week later, "Myron, I have the money."   Steve: That's SO cool.   Myron: It’s something as simple as “make more offers”.    I can tell you story after story. That's not unusual, but it is unusual to find people who are willing...   To make an offer!    Adjust the offer and then make that offer to another person when somebody says no to their offer   Make that offer just the way it is to 10 more people just to see if the problem is the offer... OR if it’s just the way they're offering it.   Steve: Right, right.   Myron:    Most people won't allow themselves to stay in the game long enough to figure out how to win the game.   Steve: You know, it's funny. I went back and I recounted how many tries it took me... and it was 33 failures over six years!    It was painful...   Myron: Well, why didn't you quit?    Steve: Right? Yeah, I know.    Someone was like, "Why did you think you could keep going like that?"    I was like…   I realized that failure is largely made up. You just learn. Everything is progression. It's not win-lose, it's just progression.   Man, I had a lot of garbage in my own head around the beliefs in money that I had to overcome.   Myron: Absolutely.   Steve: Before I could even sell what I was making in the first place.   ALL WORK *WORKS*   Myron: Absolutely.    What's really interesting that a lot of people don't realize?    They'll say, "But Steve, it's not working! But Myron, it's not working!"    I say, "Okay, first of all, let me help you understand something. All work WORKS."   Steve: I'm gonna put that on my ceiling!   Myron: All work works. There's no such thing as, "I did that thing, and it didn't work."    Oh, it worked.    "No, no, but I made the offer and nobody bought."    It still worked.    "Well, if I made the offer and nobody bought, how can you say it worked?"    See, work is a two-sided coin.    Q: What are the two sides of the coin?    There's the work I do on it    There's work it does on me.    When the work I do on it doesn't do what I thought it would do...then the work it does on me ALWAYS does what it's supposed to do!   I know all work works.    So when I'm working on something that seems like it's NOT working, it's still working on me.    It's so interesting, we were talking about how you had six years... six years you tried all these different things and none of them "worked."    You had six years of failure, about 30-some odd failures but here's what we as human beings fail to realize.    Repetitive use of a limited ability will always produce an increased capacity.    What do I mean?    If I wanna get in shape and started doing push-ups, and I wanna do 30 push-ups, but I can only do five, here's what happens initially after I do five.    The next day I can only do three, right?    Because push-ups, in the beginning, don't make you stronger at first, they make you weaker because of fatigue.    So people think when they become fatigued from the activity that they wanna get good at, they think that means it's NOT working.    But you have to do it over and over again.    Repetitive use of a limited ability will ALWAYS produce an increased capacity.    Unless you do the activity repetitively, it cannot increase your capacity to do that thing.    Eventually, if you do five push-ups today, and three tomorrow, and then five the next day, and then three the next day, and five the next day... all of a sudden, you get down one time and then it’s 21.    Where did that come from?    Repetitive use of a limited ability will ALWAYS produce an increased capacity.    Over that year and a half when I was making presentations and nobody bought, what I didn't realize I was learning two very valuable lessons.    I was learning how to NOT work for money.    I was learning how to hone my message and how to adjust my approach and then go back and do it again.   And that's what I mean when I say I literally became the top seller.    Went from a year and a half no sales...to making a sale...to top salesperson.    “How did you do that?”    I ran out of all the ways that wouldn't work. The only thing I had left were ways that would work.   Steve: I totally get it.    It's kind of the same thing for me... after a while, I was like, "I don't know how else to be bad, or make it not produce cash.”   Myron: Exactly.   Steve: So just so everyone else can see, I've taken so many notes that I even turned the page…   ….now I'm going down this side of the page with notes!   I have so many notes and what's funny is that I've listened to you speak so many times...    Every time I hear you speak, more and more comes out!    I have a greater understanding of why I behave the way I do.    Not just, "How do I sell more?"    It's, "How do I actually behave better?"    It's really fascinating and I want to thank you for that.   Myron: Absolutely, my pleasure bro.   Steve: So you're gonna be teaching a lot of stuff at OfferMind and you're gonna come speak...   Myron: Yes.   Steve: And at the point where you're gonna come speak, people should have a great idea of what their offer actually is.    The core offer, what they should be doing.    Horse blinders on about everything else and just hyper-focused on that one core offer…which is what I'll be doing on the first day.    But you're gonna come in and teach them how to offer the offer.   Myron: How to offer the offer in a way that people expect it.    So many people make the mistake of thinking that the offer is their person.    What do I mean by that?    What they'll do is say, "Well you'll get so many hours of my time."    I say, "How many hours of your time?”    What I want less than hours of your time is for you to have hours of my time!   Steve: Right.   Myron: Okay? So they'll sell their person.    They'll sell their pieces, "Well, this has got five books, 17 videos and 47 audios."    Well, nobody cares about the pieces.   Steve: No, I don't want that.   Myron: Nobody cares about the pieces.    They'll sell their process.    It's fine to teach people the process after they've taken advantage of your offer, but don't sell them the process!    If you sell them the process then they're not gonna buy it.    I'm gonna teach you how to offer the offer...    Q: ...and so how do you offer the offer?    When you're selling to somebody you don’t sell them the process, you only sell them the payoff.    You don't sell them your person, you don't sell them the pieces, you don't sell them the process.    Q: What do you sell them?    You sell them the payoff and you use a concept that I call Emotional Cooperation.    After you use Emotional Cooperation… (and I'll teach you what that means when I get there - at OfferMind…)    ...then you use what I call Logical Justification.    When you combine Emotional Cooperation with Logical Justification, you become what I call a Psychological Artist.    You can hang pictures in people's minds for them to refer to that help them see your offer in a more favorable light. OFFERMIND???Steve: That is powerful stuff and I’m taking notes like CRAZY.    If anyone's watching or listening to this now, and they're like, "Will OfferMind be worth it?"    ...first of all, if you're NOT convinced by now… I don't know what to tell you!    What would you say to somebody who's like, "You know what, I don't know if I should show up to OfferMind?"   Myron: What does that mean?    Steve: Right.   Myron: No, no, I know what you mean.    I'm like, "I don't know if I should show up for OfferMind?"    Some of the greatest marketing and sales minds in the world alive today are gonna be there teaching you how to get BETTER at creating offers, and offering those offers…   ...if you don't know if you should be there…? Perhaps we should come get your family and take them to safety!?!   It's that kind of deal.  THE TWO THINGS...One of my old mentors, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones... I love that man and he was so amazing.    He changed my life in so many ways.   Steve: Oh, I didn't know he was! Oh, that's cool. Wow.   Myron: Oh yeah, I knew Charlie.   Steve: Oh, that's amazing.   Myron: Yeah, I knew Charlie.   Steve: Cool.   Myron: He lived in the same town as me. I used to go visit him.   Steve: That's amazing.   Myron: Like, I would go hang out with him.    Charlie used to say:    Your life would be the same 10 years from now as it is today, except for two things, the books you read and the people you meet.   When he said, "The people you meet", he is talking about the people you associate with.    I have found that NOTHING in this world ... in this life...changes your life for the better like going to live events.    Live events are my vibe.    I get to meet people and interact with people.    If I had never gone to Funnel Hacking Live, I wouldn't even know you and we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now.   Steve: No, definitely not.   Myron: When you were at Funnel Hacking Live in San Diego, 2016 and I was at Funnel Hacking Live 2016... I don't even know if I remember meeting you.    Do you remember meeting me?    Steve: No.   Myron: Probably not. No.   Steve: No, no.   Myron: Probably not, right?    We were both there, just as attendees.     And now you're having your event, and I'm coming to speak at your event!   You learn from me, I learn from you.    We make each other's lives better and we help each other's students, it's like...    ...does it get any better than that?!    Steve: I don't know?!   Myron: You will meet joint venture partners and they can open doors for you that you can't open for yourself just by going to live events in general...    But OfferMind! Like really?!!    I mean where will an assembly (other than at Funnel Hacking Live) of this level of marketing and sales genius be converged in ONE place at the same time other than OfferMind?    If you're not there ...where else would you be?!    Steve: I don't know? I've asked the same question.    I'm like, “I don't know why you wouldn't show up to this, it's pretty ridiculous…”   Myron: Your life will change.    I love what JR Ridinger used to say, he is a guy who is the president of a network marketing company I used to be a part of.    He said, "You can change your life in two days."    How long is OfferMind? Two days or three days? Two days?    Steve: Two days.   Myron:    You can change your life in two days.

Steve: There’s something about it...   Myron:    It collapses timeframes   It gives you a synergy    It gives you a level of focus that you can't get...that's diffused when you're out here doing your own thing in the workaday world.    When you come into a space where there are that many people focused on sales, focused on marketing, focused on offer creation, dude, it changes everything.   Steve: Yeah.   Myron: Yeah, I'm speaking at OfferMind.    But I'm not just going to OfferMind 'cause I'm speaking, I'd be going to OfferMind if I wasn't speaking.   Steve: Yeah.   Myron: Let's not get it twisted, ladies and gentleman.    Steve needs to go to events, I need to go to events, Russell needs to go to events.    The teacher who has stopped learning has lost his right to teach.   Steve: Okay, amen.    I think about like wings on a plane.    I tell everyone, if you're being coached by someone who's not also being coached, stop listening to them!   They're not practicing the very thing they're teaching you.   Myron: Absolutely.   Steve: Get away from them.     Myron: Absolutely.   Steve: Oh man.   Myron: Don't get stuck like Chuck in a pick-up truck.   Steve: Well hey thanks so much for being on here, thanks for being in Sales Funnel Radio.   I'm just incredibly excited to have you on.   Myron: Me too.   Steve: Guys, go to OfferMind.com and grab your ticket.      By the time while I'm saying this right now, we're pretty much out of VIP seating -  stuff is filling up very quickly.    Go get your ticket and we'll see you September 2nd and 3rd!   You’ll get to listen to Mr. Myron Golden teach you how to offer the offer that I'm gonna teach you how to build on day one.   Myron: May I borrow one of your words?    Steve: Yes.   Myron: BOOM!   Steve: BOOM!   BOOM!    If you're just starting out you're probably studying a lot. That's good. You're probably geeking out on all the strategies, right? That's also good.   But the hardest part is figuring out what the market wants to buy and how you should sell it to them, right?    That's what I struggled with for a while until I learned the formula.    So I created a special Mastermind called an OfferMind to get you on track with the right offer, and more importantly the right sales script to get it off the ground and sell it.    Wanna come?    There are small groups on purpose, so I can answer your direct questions in person for two straight days.    You can hold your spot by going to OfferMind.com.    Again, that's OfferMind.com.

Tracey C. Jones is nationally known for her leadership expertise, as well as her ability to connect on a core level with her audiences. With her signature wit, she masterfully weaves leadership concepts and actionable strategies together with humor and a deep understanding of life in the workplace. At the core of her philosophy on leadership is a simple belief that a commitment to lifelong learning results in a resilience and positive attitude that can alter the work environment for the better each and every day. With nearly four decades of experience across four industries from the military to semiconductor to publishing, Tracey has crafted organizational leadership techniques that can be implemented right away for noticeable results. She challenges her audiences to bravely embrace their challenges and take the all-important next steps toward effecting meaningful change in their personal and professional lives. Her father, the late Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, founded Executive Books in 1965 with the goal of changing the world one book at a time. After amassing an exceptional leadership background of her own, Tracey took the company's reins in 2009 – and carries on her father's tremendous legacy today.

Show Highlights: Whatever the day brings, I'm going to try it. If it doesn't work out, okay, I got experience. And if it does work out, okay, I got success! That was one of [my father's] laws of leadership. -Tracey Jones[My father believed] work should be more fun than fun. So when you had downtime, you should find a way to still be growing or impacting people's lives. -Tracey JonesYour followers, as a leader, can empower you or disempower you. -Tracey JonesThere is a big difference between being a leader and the act of leadership. When you are a leader, it's all about improving your own individual skills. Leadership is no longer about you, but how well you get things done through your influence on other people. -Tracey JonesIf you as a leader are not teachable and humble, you're never going to be able to make the step to leadership. You may be a leader, but you won't be able to engage in leadership. -Tracey JonesI have to try to get things done through influence and not power. -Tracey JonesI can solve any problem in the world as long as I identify it early enough and call in the right resources. -Tracey JonesIndustries don't have problems. Individuals have problems. -Tracey JonesWhen asked, “How do you build companies?”, [Spencer Hayes] responded, “You can't build companies. You can only build people.” -Spencer Hayes“Entrepreneurship is the last refuge of the trouble making individual.” Natalie Clifford Barney Tracey's closing thoughts: In leadership, you're like a Weeble. You wobble and you get knocked down, but you get right back up! Every leader in the world is a leader because they have overcome things that other people could not.

Dr. Rohm has conducted workshops and seminars on human relations and behavior for numerous schools, churches, businesses and international companies. Arizona Diamondbacks In 1996, Dr. Rohm was hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks professional baseball team to help draft potential players by personality style. In his initial meeting with Joe Garagiola, Jr., the General Manager for the Diamondback organization, Dr. Rohm told him, “I only have one request. When the Diamondbacks win the World Series, I want a World Series ring.” Joe Garagiola laughed and said, “When we win the World Series, you will get your ring!” Well, guess what? In 2001, the Diamondbacks won the World Series, and they won it faster than any other team in baseball history. True to their word, the Diamondback organization sent Dr. Rohm a World Series ring, with the inscription “Fastest Ever”.   In our conversation with Dr. Rohm, he unpacks the DISC Model of Human Behavior, explaining the 4 primary personality types, and how to apply this information in building better relationships and more effective teams. Entertaining and insightful, Dr. Rohm describes how different personalities communicate and respond to situations, strengths and blind spots, and common career preferences for each. Want to connect better with your clients, co-workers, friends and family members? Tune in now and let Dr. Rohm teach you how to solve the people puzzle! Key Takeaways 1) People primarily don't do things against you; they primarily do things for themselves. 2) Understanding the personalities of different people is kind of like learning to speak another language. 3) What is the DISC Model of Human Behavior. Strengths and blind spots of each style: Dominant – Inspiring – Supportive – Cautious 4) If you don't know what your problem is, that's your biggest problem of all. 5) School can be a dangerous place for a Dominant or Inspiring type. 6) On blind spots: You can't Beware of something until you're first Aware. 7) Build relationships with people according to the way they are wired and you reduce stress, increase productivity and you have a longer, more healthy and fulfilling life.

Answer: Yes, read a book! It almost doesn't matter what book you read. Reading will improve your life!

The food we eat has a direct impact on what our bodies become Same is true with our minds!  I gave up listening to and watching news programs many years ago Most TV, news, music - message is dark, defeating, negative, you'll never get ahead Most TV shows portray women as sex objects, men are idiots, and kids know everything and run the families. It's about how you choose to spend your time. When you say "Yes" to one thing, you are saying "No" to something else. I read between 3 - 5 books per month--most of which are audiobooks. It's a very rare thing to find a book, fiction or non-fiction, where the theme is negative, self-defeating. Most books are very motivational, uplifting, good defeats evil, teaches the value of self-esteem and working hard to achieve your dreams, etc. Biographies are a great place to start if you're looking for good books to read. Challenge: Turn your TV off for 30 days and read books instead.
