During a time in which social justice efforts for adult professionals are silenced, we welcome the iconic Jessica Stoya to discuss the globalization of the adult film industry and its impact on adult industry professionals. Along with discussing historical events that have led to changes in the adult industry, we discuss some of the hurdles that adult performers experience in their personal life that put their basic needs for food and shelter in jeopardy. These hurdles exist due to right wing, sex negative influences in our culture and can result in, for example, the performer being “unbanked” meaning that the performer may have trouble finding and keeping a bank that will allow them to have an account and other banking fundamentals, or they may be refused housing when looking to rent or buy property which can lead to a very real fear of homelessness. This all sounds heavy, but Stoya's impromptu Les Mis musical parody makes it all worth the emotional labor. Trust me. Then, we go on to discuss Stoya's bold career transition from mostly being an adult performer to focusing on writing and being an intimacy coach for Pam Shaffer's clinic Best Self Psych. This is a fascinating and important episode, especially if you care about adult performers' rights. We hope you join us as once again as we dare to Open Deeply. Stoya's Bio: Jessica Stoya has been working with sexuality since 2006. Her writing on the subject has appeared in The New York Times, VICE, Playboy, and many other publications. She, along with Rich Juzwiak, pens Slate's How To Do It sex advice column. Her first book, Philosophy, Pussycats, & Porn, has been published in English, and Spanish, Russian and Serbian translations. She completed her Ante Up! Professional Development certification in 2021, and has begun an undergraduate degree studying philosophy. Jessica Stoya recently joined Best Self Psych as a certified sexuality coach.

Many Canadian therapists feel overwhelmed by the business side of running a group private practice. It takes a practice owner with initiative and a collaborative nature to support their counsellors in providing the best therapy that they can as well as focusing on growing the group practice. In this episode, I speak with Sue Cook about how she created a supportive framework that helps clinicians in her Ontario group private practice provide their best therapy. MEET SUE COOK Sue Cook is the owner and operator of Family TLC. She started working in this profession in the early 1980's and has had the opportunity and privilege of assisting thousands of people reach their mental health and wellness goals. In 2000 her passion for making lives better came to fruition as she began running her own practice and in 2012, this expanded as she began to invite others to join her business. Sue's business goals, and big vision have guided her as she has built some leading edge components to Family TLC, making it into the multi-location growing therapy business it is today. Learn more about Sue Cook on her practice's website. In this episode: The drive to build a Canadian group private practice Providing training to new therapists Hiring clinicians that best fit the practice The drive to build a Canadian group private practice Many clinicians have to learn how to run their businesses alongside providing therapy for their clients. This can be difficult without a business consultant. For Sue, her drive to build a group private practice in Ontario comes from: Wanting to help counsellors with their businesses so that they can focus on helping their clients. Being curious to learn how to create a practice that serves both her and her clients well. Sue recognized therapists' need for business support. So, she created helpful scaffolding and business services that save her counsellors time, and money, and supports them while they focus on providing therapy for their clients. Providing training to new therapists When Sue hires new counsellors, she trains them in the Family TLC way. This methodology helps the new therapists to follow the guidelines of the practice while also using any therapeutic method with their clients. Sue's staff are taught a 12-week checklist. The training includes: How to use the software system Receiving admin support Clinical supervision Hiring Canadian counsellors that best fit the practice Sue's approach to hiring therapists is collaborative and honest. Her hiring process involves: Honing in on the characteristics and core personality values that are the best fit for the practice Writing up an advertisement that accurately represents these values Interviewing and screening applicants Discussing the culture at Family TLC Connect with me: Instagram Website Resources mentioned and useful links: Ep 17: Blogging: Why It Is Important For Your Canadian Private Practice and How To Do It www.jane.app/mentalhealth use the promo code FEARLESS for one month's grace period Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Sue Cooks' LinkedIn profile Family TLC's website Family TLC's Instagram Family TLC's Facebook Check out Family TLC's podcast

Changing habits is at the core of all personal transformations. However, as we all know, it can be really difficult to stay consistent and disciplined when trying to build new habits. Why is it so hard and how can you actually follow through on new habit goals?Habit tracking is the practice of choosing habits that you'd like to add to or remove from your life and keeping track of whether you do them or not. Listen to this week's episode to learn about how tracking habits can help you. You'll hear some ideas for how to build habit tracking into your life and will hopefully find inspiration to track some habits of your own!Bullet Journalswww.bulletjournal.com The original, by Ryder CarrollRiver Fox BuJo on Pinterest This is my daughter's bullet journal Pinterest account.Little Coffee Fox Bullet Journal - Getting fancy with your bullet journalLittle Coffee Fox Minimalist Bullet Journal - Keeping it simpleHabit Tracking Articles for Further ReadingThe Ultimate Habit Tracker Guide: Why and How to Track Your Habits by James ClearHabit Tracker Ideas List - A very long list of things you can trackWhy You Should Be Tracking Your Habits and How To Do It from lifehacker.comHow long does it take to form a habit?

I'm your host, Hannah Choi. Today I'm diving into the topic of habit tracking. In my episode about managing our emotions around failure, I talked a little bit about thinking like a scientist. Well, habit tracking is an excellent way to put this idea into action. By the way, this episode is packed full of habit tracking ideas and suggestions, so you might want to pause me and grab a pen and paper to write down anything that inspires you. I'll wait. Okay, so what is habit tracking? You may have heard of it already. But just in case you haven't yet, habit tracking is a practice of choosing the habits that you'd like to add to or remove from your life and then keeping track of whether you do them or not. In today's episode, I'll share five ways that habit tracking can be beneficial, and then I'll explain five different methods of tracking your habits. Before I get started, I want to mention that habit tracking is just one way to support yourself while you're trying to build or break habits. In a future episode, I'll cover some more ideas for making habit building a little easier. If you're too excited to wait for that episode, check out the show notes for this episode. I've listed some useful resources in there for you. Okay, so let's talk about habit tracking and why we might want to do it. So you can use habit tracking to see your progress. Collecting data over a period of time, even a week can be helpful. But hopefully you can do it for longer. And then over time, you might start to see change happening. And this can be super helpful. And along with seeing progress, you might also notice trends in your data, you can then adjust how you approach that habit. For example, a few years ago, I wanted to reduce my sugar intake because of some health stuff I was dealing with. So I used a habit tracker. I noticed that I always seem to eat sweets on Saturdays, no matter how hard I tried not to I just always ended up eating them on Saturdays. So instead of beating myself up about it, I just said, "Okay, let's just eat a little sugar on Saturdays and see about eliminating it on the other days". And this really made a huge difference for me. I stopped feeling bad about eating sweets on Saturdays. And interestingly, looking forward to eating sweets on that day actually helped me eat less during the week. I think an overlooked but really important part of habit tracking is figuring out what habits aren't actually all that important to you in whatever season of life you're in. And I often talk with my clients about the power of the shoulds you know, the things that we feel like we should do. So sometimes, we might decide to track a habit that is something that we feel like we should do. I recently read an article about how great green smoothies are for you, right? You know what, they are tons of leafy greens and some kind of citrus or a banana all blended up. And I thought all right, okay, I should add a green smoothie to my morning routine. Yeah, I just couldn't make it stick. It's cool, whatever. So I don't start my day with a green smoothie. I do start it with a chocolate banana peanut butter one though. So anyway, if we repeatedly do not do the new habit, perhaps it's not the right time to introduce it into our lives. Again, this idea of failure being informative comes up. Failing to do these habits gives us a lot of info. So ask yourself, why aren't you doing them? Are they truly important to you? Okay, next up motivation. Habit trackers can be highly motivating for some people. Personally, I only find them really useful for the data that they provide. In fact, this data is what motivates me to actually remember to track them in the first place. But my teenage daughter loves doing the thing. So she can fill out the box in her pretty hand-drawn habit tracker that she has in her bullet journal. If you're like Hannah, what's a bullet journal? Just hold on a sec, and I'll explain them in a bit. Okay, next up, sometimes we need to build in a new habit because of a health reason, a change in diet like maybe we need to cut out morning coffee. Or maybe we've started taking new meds or doing exercises for physical therapy, we might want to use a habit tracker to reinforce the addition of these new things into our lives. We may even be feeling a little stressed about these new required habits. So a tracker might help us to remember to do them, which in turn will ease some of that stress.Okay, so hopefully I've convinced you of all the great reasons to track some habits. And now we have to figure out the best way to do it. Keep in mind that everything I recommend today can be modified to, you know, fit your own needs. I always encourage my coaching clients to take the tools that I teach them, and then tweak them until they work for their situation. If you're not sure which one to use, just try the one that kind of resonates with the most with you, and then approach it like an experiment. They might not work well for you at first, and that's totally okay. Right? Just see what part of it is working for you and what part isn't, and then change it up to suit your needs. Alright, so tracking tools. First up is that bullet journal that I mentioned earlier, the idea of bullet journaling was created by a guy called Ryder Carroll. And a bullet journal is simply a planner that you create to fit your own needs. And this customizable aspect of it is actually what I really love about them. Mine, it's very simple. It's just a plain notebook, I've got a few things in it, mostly just my weekly calendar and a meal planning page. My daughter, on the other hand, has a bullet journal and it's truly a work of art. She has her weekly calendar and an exercise tracker, she's got book lists and gratitude practice and a habit tracker. So you can add easily add a habit tracker to your bullet journal just like she did. If I went more into detail with how to use a bullet journal and how to track habits within one, I'd keep you here all day. And that's not what any of us wants. So be sure to check out the show notes for more bullet journal resources. And if you don't use a bullet journal already, I highly recommend checking them out. I've had a few clients that have had a lot of success using them. Okay, next on my list is spreadsheets. My sister Julia is the queen of tracking things with a spreadsheet. I envy the data that she's collected over the years. Well, I say that I envy it. But I don't actually envy it so much that I'm actually going to start using spreadsheets. But if spreadsheets are your thing, you can build one that tracks your habits or anything you want to collect data on. All right, Fitbits and other smartwatches. Fitbits can track your steps and other habits like exercise or how much water you drink. And there are apps that you can add to your Apple or your Android watch. You can check out the show notes for some suggestions for apps. I personally don't wear a watch. But I know that for the people that do they really love them. There are a ton of apps out there for both iPhones and Android phones that can make habit tracking easier. Something that I really like about the apps is that they have built in Notifications, and you can modify them as needed. And I personally found the notification super helpful to get me to do the actual habit. And if you are a parent, you might be familiar with the strategy of sticker charts. You know, grownups can use them too. I actually use this sticker chart when I'm training for a half marathon. I got this idea from my other sister, Maria. So I print out the training plan I'm going to use and then I put a sticker in each box after I complete that day's training challenge. And usually just covering the chart with stickers is rewarding enough for me. But sometimes I'll build like a small prize or reward into it for a little extra motivation. Talking about sticker charts reminds me of when my kids were little. And I always felt like I needed a sticker chart to help me remember to use my kids sticker charts. Anybody relate to that feeling? So this actually brings up a good point. It's all well and good to have this idea of tracking habits, right? So let's track them. But how can you actually remember to track them, especially when you're first starting out. So to help yourself, you basically just have to really support yourself, you have to build a really strong scaffold. To do this, you could set reminders on your phone, you could use the notification feature in the habit tracking app, you could put sticky notes around that remind you to track the thing. For example, if you're tracking how much water you drink, you could put a note right on your water bottle. Or if you're tracking exercise, you could put a sign up in the area of your home where you exercise. Or you could stick it in, you know with your stuff that you put in your gym bag. There's a million ways to do it. So get creative and see what works for you. It might take a bit for the habit of tracking habits to stick. But with good support, hopefully you'll find success.And like I've said before, and I'll say again, and again change takes time. And learning how to look for small wins can really help keep you motivated through this challenge of making change. And habit tracking is a great way to look for these wins. In fact, if you're just starting out with habit tracking, I encourage you to pick only one or two habits at first. Diving in and optimistically picking a whole bunch might be exciting and promising and a little bit crazy. But it's likely that it'll end up feeling like there are just too many habits to track, and you're a lot less likely to be successful with those new habits. So just pick a couple that you think are realistic, you know, realistic to add to your life right now and give it a shot. And as we know, habits can take a very long time to form or break. I think I read a study that said it takes on average 66 days. So like I said earlier, having a record of your progress over time, can help support that habit as you're building or breaking it. If you're working with a coach, you can ask them to support you as you track your progress. Maybe have them checking with you at the beginning of each session or during the week. Are you using the habit tracker that you chose? And if not, why? Maybe have a conversation with your coach to figure that out. And no worries if you don't have a coach, try and listing a friend or another trusted person, share your new habit tracking, experiment with them and ask them to hold you accountable. Maybe you guys could even track something together. My family loves creating Fitbit contests with the other people in my extended family who were Fitbits as well. You could create family sticker charts for family goals. Or you could hold yourself accountable by creating text chat groups of like minded people who are also trying to reach goals. So that's it for today. Wow. Who knew there was so much to say about habit tracking, I'd actually taken a break from tracking my own habits. But in writing this episode, I found a renewed zest for tracking habits. So I'm back on the wagon. I'm so glad you're here and you took time out of your day to listen, I really hope that you found something useful in this episode. Before I go, I wanted to share some listener feedback about my episode on failure. In that episode, I mentioned the commitments or goals that executive function coaching clients make after each session. And Neal, one of our coaches suggested that instead of saying they were commitments or goals we coaches give to our clients. Perhaps I could have said they were commitments and goals made with our clients. I love that this small change in prepositions makes such a huge difference in meaning. Thank you, Neil, for making this suggestion. And I completely agree. If you've subscribed to the podcast, you'll be getting an email with some resources related to today's episode on habit tracking.

DESCRIPTION Kids are exposed to sex today as never before. Social media, the internet, movies, television and music videos typically portray sex in a crass and shameful manner. Our kids desperately need to understand that sex is amazing, it's wonderful, and something they will enjoy for decades to come.. when done in the right context and timing. Your child not only needs to hear about sex from you, he/she actually wants to hear about sex from you. They want to know what you think about them and sex. You are the one who can present sexual information to them in a positive way. You can empower them to postpone their sexual debut as long as possible, and in doing so, decrease the number of potential sex partners that they will have. As parents, we must be the ones to give the initial talk, and subsequent talks, about sex with our kids. Today's sexualization of our kids has taught them that sex is dark and twisted, but as parents we need to teach them just the opposite -- that sex is a wonderful gift that should be cherished and cared for. Dr. Meg gives helpful insight and information to equip parents to tackle this difficult subject with their kids. WELCOME Dr. Meg begins this episode by letting you, her listener, know that the PGK podcast is for your benefit - to help you understand why your kids do what they do, so that you can be the parent you want to be. No topic is off-limits, so if there is a subject that you would like discussed, let her know! Dr. Meg also teases her points to ponder - take-aways that can be put into practice right away. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast! And take advantage of additional parenting resources by joining the PGK Community at meekerparenting.com! A CONVERSATION WITH DR MEG (PART 1) In this frank and honest discussion, Dr. Meg doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to talking about sex with our kids -- she shares startling statistics of STI's (sexually transmitted infections) in our children.. the impact of which goes far beyond the physical consequences. Dr. Meg shines a light on the behaviors and emotions of kids when involved in teenage sex, and explains why depression is so often linked to our kids' sexual activity. The bottom line? Sex is not for kids. It takes guts to parent against today's current culture, to train kids to delay sexual activity. Dr. Meeker equips and encourages parents to raise their children above the toxicity and sexualization of the culture, which will profoundly impact decades of their lives.

Do you believe in a higher power? Do you believe that there is no such thing as coincidence?If you answered yes – or even a maybe, I want you to consider how the word “yes” can be the greatest blessing of your life.If you are learning about personal development or manifestation, one of the first things that you will hear is that you can have any dream or desire you want. You just have to put it out there – either by prayer or by telling the universe. Manifestation is all about creating a physical something from just thinking about it. You are told to not worry about “HOW” it will happen, you just need to make it clear that you desire that particular thing. The universe, God, or your higher power will put the pieces together to help you attain that goal.But really... how does it work?In this podcast, we talk about HOW it really does happen – and you may be surprised that sometimes it's as simple as yes.Links:• OC Food Bank Volunteers: https://www.capoc.org/oc-food-bank/• Team Rubicon Website: https://teamrubiconusa.org/• Built to Serve: The Story of Team Rubicon: https://youtu.be/dCT5bOTJNsM• Your Today Story: https://www.yourtodaystory.com• Door Dash: https://www.doordash.com/Also available as a video podcast: https://youtu.be/cYUy3-CmsLM

If you are thinking about cancelling a credit card, you are likely making a big mistake. When you cancel a credit card, you immediately hurt your credit score in a big way. In this video, I'll break down what you should do instead to build your credit score. Follow me on Instagram! - AppleCriderOfficial If you have a credit card that you no longer use, you might have thought about cancelling it. I'm here to tell you that this would be a very bad idea. Building your credit score is a process that takes a long time and one misstep can have a huge impact. Cancelling a credit card is a massive mistake because it negatively impacts all 5 of the criteria that make up your credit score. For a full breakdown of those, check out this video: https://youtu.be/yB-iv6zSsMM Fortunately, there's a much better solution than cancelling your credit card that is easy to do and will end up boosting your credit score in a big way. Now if you have a credit card with no annual fee that you are thinking about cancelling, just don't. There is no reason to cancel a credit card that is not costing you anything because keeping it open and just sticking it in your freezer will keep your credit score increasing without needing to do anything. However, if your credit card has an annual fee, then there is some action you need to take. There's no reason to pay an annual fee on a credit card that doesn't benefit you anymore, so cancelling the thing could seem like an appealing option. But, you don't want to do this because it's going to hurt your credit score. The better solution is to downgrade your credit card instead. Most people don't realize that many credit cards from big banks exist on a ladder. At the bottom of the ladder are no-fee credit cards that don't earn much for rewards. Then as you move up the ladder, you see cards that will earn you more rewards, and charge higher fees. Most banks allow people to move along the ladder and either upgrade to better card or downgrade to worse cards by simply calling them up. In this case, you'll want to downgrade your cards instead of cancelling them. But, before you rush into downgrading a card, there are a number of important rules you'll need to follow including a specific timeline for exactly when you should downgrade it. In most cases, if you try to downgrade a card too early, you'll end up getting flagged by the bank for suspicious activity and may even end up getting your account shut down. So stay tuned as we break down exactly how to downgrade a credit card the right way. Enjoy!

Shifting Into Your Dream Reality Explained | Parallel Reality Shifting Meaning & How To Do It . #shift #parallelreality #dreamreality . Hey in this video, I'm sharing with you how to shift into your dream reality, or a parallel reality. The fact is that quantum physics & quantum mechanics & now proving to us that there are an infinite amount of realities. Albert Einstein & Nikola Tesla both said if you wish to understand the Universe, you have to start thinking in terms of energy, frequency, & vibration. It's always about matching the frequency of the reality you prefer, if you want to see that reflection in your life. You see your life is like a blank slate mirror, reflecting your internal condition & energetic vibration. Now what really is your vibration? Essentially everything in this Universe is vibration & frequency of light & sound, it is pure cosmic energy. Even you my friend, are made of energy. Your vibration is a mix between your thoughts, feelings & actions, or more so the energy you are embodying in every singe moment. Many people get stuck in certain vibrational patterns, thinking the same thoughts, doing the same things & getting the same results. This isn't always a bad thing, unless you aren't satisfied with your reality, or what you are attracting into your experience. The key is to realize that IT ALREADY EXISTS. It's DONE! We just have to get up to speed with the version of us that we prefer to be. That's exactly what I'm going to help you do in this video, & I will also share the powerful "Shift Into Your Dream Reality (parallel reality shifting)" meditation that will help you to wire in the frequency & vibration of this version of you. What happens is when you change from a vibrational level, which is always the most powerful way to go about things, well you will then begin to build powerful momentum in your life, where Law of Attraction will work with you until you see the reflection you are desiring in your life. Imagine your dream reality, the best version of you killing the game. What are the thoughts, feelings, and actions that this version of you would have?

Guided Meditation For Feeling Worthy, Whole, And Complete | Tune Into Unconditional Love . #oneness #love #raiseyourvibration . Hey everyone! In this video, we're doing a powerful meditation to feel 100 % worthy, whole and complete. We will be doing some powerful inner work and diving into our heart space, where we can tap into the infinite source of love within us. Love is the highest vibrational frequency, and unconditional love is what we really are at a soul and core level. Based on the law of attraction, you are always attracting things into your experienced based off of your vibration. In other words, you cannot perceive of what is happening on 92.1 if you are tuned into the station 58.3. This is how the law of attraction works, everything is vibration and frequency. If you want to start perceiving of more love in your life ( in various shapes and forms) you must embody more love from within. That's exactly what we will be doing in this meditation. We will be tapping and tuning into, and giving ourselves, or allowing ourselves, to make time or meditate on feeling the love within our heart space. Quantum physics is showing us that the power or energy of the human heart, is 10 x stronger than that of the brain. The magnetic field around our heart space permeates our being and connects us all together. We will be coming into alignment with who we really are, and all that life has caused us to become. The wholeness of who you really are will be realized. You are going to feel more love than you ever have before, since the greatest and most potent source of energy is always within us. You are going to feel 100 % worthy, whole, and complete by the time this meditation is finished and you will be vibrating at a higher frequency from tuning into the highest frequency, that of unconditional love. You will notice that everything in your reality begins to respond to you in an entirely new way based off of your new vibration from a result of the love you have embodied. It's recommended to do this meditation for 21 days to really wire in your new vibration, and program it into your subconscious mind that you ARE worthy, whole, and complete. You are going to want to return to this meditation to feel love, since it can be done at any time, the power is always yours. Know that you can always return to this meditation as your sacred space, to feel worthy, whole and complete, and embody more unconditional love. . . . # guided meditation for feeling worthy, whole and complete, guided meditation for feeling unconditional love, meditation for self love, meditation for self worth, guided meditation for self acceptance, unconditional love and worthiness guided meditation, love and worthiness meditation, unconditional love meditation, meditation for self love, tune into unconditional love, guided meditation to tune into unconditional love . . .

5th Dimensional Habits That Will Raise Your Vibration Instantly (Do This Every Day) . #5thdimension #raiseyourvibration #higherconsciousness . Hey everyone! In this video, I'm sharing 5 powerful habits that will raise your vibration instantly. The more that you apply these habits in your life, the more you will perceive of a 5th dimensional reality from the shift within yourself. Everything in your life comes as a result of the vibrational frequency that you are on. Your vibration is a mix between your thoughts, feelings and actions, or as I like to say it the energy that you are embodying in every single moment. Based off of this, you are broadcasting a signal into the Universe which law of attraction then responds to. In other words, we need to be the energy that we seek. Focusing on raising your vibration is how to leverage using this knowledge to your advantage. When you raise your vibration, you become happier, your health improves, and your overall quality of life improves because your point of attraction does. This life experience is more of an emotion journey than it is an action journey. To put it into perspective that anyone can feel within them and identify; Love is the highest frequency and fear is the lowest frequency in this reality that we exist in. When you improve your point of attraction, everything else in your life begins to respond from that. This includes your health, wealth, success, ect. That's why in this video I'm sharing with you 5 powerful 5th dimensional habits that will instantly raise your vibration, and the more that you embody these the easier it's going to be to manifest and the more magical your life experience is going to be. By applying them every single day, you will start to wire in totally new vibration and your life is going to change faster than ever because you are coming at it from a vibrational level. Momentum is going to build for you quicker than ever, and your going to enjoy your journey every step of the way from your new higher vibrational state of consciousness. . . . 5D Reality Playlist | Everythinf You Need To Know About The 5th Dimension - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLERhVnft9fXvKz_DhJO8egwJT5W0nSzfA .

I know I have, and many on the planet are having this experiencing this phenomenon as well. Throughout their days people are seeing repeating number patterns such as 111, 222, 333, ect. This is no accident or coincidence. As a matter of fact there is a divine purpose in these repeating numbers occuring and making their presence to you. This whole Universe is made up of divine mathematics and sacred geometry. I always say that actions speak louder than words, but patterns speak even louder than actions. In this pattern based Universe it's hard not to notice them occuring. But when you can begin to understand the Universe is more vast than we can comprehend, then you realize that there are things going on and things in play that we cannot see or perceive as humans. As humans we can actually only see or perceive of at most 2% of what's actually there. When noticing repeating number patterns, know that this is no accident or coincidence.

HOW TO ACCEPT WHO YOU REALLY ARE | Your Uniqueness Is Your Power!
HOW TO GET IN ALIGNMENT WITH YOURSELF | Let Go And Do You! . The moment that you let go, everything comes. In this video were divine into some powerful ways on how to get in alignment with yourself, to just let go and do you! Most of our early journey is all about discovering who we really are , learning about life and how reality works. We get clear on who we are, and what we want to experience, and we continue calibrating to that. Sometimes people get stuck, and never find who they really are and remain unhappy and confused. That's why it's important and immensely satisfying to calibrate more to who you really are, and get into alignment with yourself. Who you really are, and who you are meant to become. This is something that should happen naturally, but many of times due to belief and societal programming, we get lost in the mist of things. We try to control how everything happens, and we have these unrealistic expectations for how things should play out for us. Not saying that life isn't meant to be magical for you, in fact I'm saying the exact opposite. The only thing is that the magic is in the unknown, and sometimes the unknown can be your greatest escape. One of the greatest beauties of life is trying new things, and it's that same moment when you try something new, when you break the routine and leave the comfort zone, that the real magic begins to happen for you. We're talking about letting go and trusting in our own worthiness, in our story that we are meant to fulfill. That's why in this video I got some powerful ways that you can get into alignment with yourself, and really start to shift into who you know you are meant to be, and who you will become. Just let go, have some fun, and do you! Don't take life so seriously and realize that the greatest gift that you could ever give to the Universe, is the gift of yourself. NAMASTE EVERYONE, and enjoy the video. This is how to really get in alignment with yourself. PEACE! . . .

THE GREAT AWAKENING AND MASSIVE SHIFT IN THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS | HAPPENING NOW! . #shift #awakening #consciousness . Hey everyone! In today's video were talking about what is really going on right now on the planet. Many of us know and can see that everything is changing right before our eyes. But what is really going on? Why is everything changing and out of our control? At the core essence of what is actually going on, there is a massive shift in the collective consciousness. There is a great awakening happening, and at a soul and core level, not only did you know this before you came to Earth but you wanted to be a part of this shift. People have been talking about this for many years. Great psychics and philosophers have been predicting this for a very long time now, and it's finally here. At the core essence of who and what we actually are, we are pure cosmic energy. People now more then ever are waking up to this truth, the truth that we are multidimensional beings temporarily having a human experience. We are eternal beings. In the higher dimensions where we come from, there is no separation at all. Only oneness, like a battery, with both positive and negative, but one force of energy. With that being said, everything that is happening on the planet right now is a result of a shift in consciousness and vibration, now more then ever this is absolute. We came here for the shift in the collective consciousness and if you are anything like me than you have always known you came here for something big. You have always known that there was going to be something huge to happen in your lifetime. The beauty of it is, this wouldn't have happened without you. We are all deliberate creators in our reality and we are always co-creating this experience together. You serve an important part in this shift in consciousness, in the great awakening. It's happening now. When you can begin to see the bigger picture and focus on raising your own vibration, you will tune into the magic that is happening on the planet right now and you will help to usher in a new era of peace and love. You are needed here friend, stay tuned until the end of the video to find out exactly what's going on. Are you ready for the great awakening? It's already here! It's important that now more than ever we are coming together to remain in a high vibration to transcend the old belief systems that are falling a part. Part of the great awakening is coming into alignment with who we really are, and with the divine order of the Universe. People that were in power are using their final cards, in attempt to keep everyone in a low vibration. Together we will transcend this. The great awakening and shift cannot be stopped, it's been talked about and predicted for years now. NAMASTE! . . .

Belief Shifting Is The Key #beliefs #spirituality #lawofattraction "Beliefs are the bubble in which we walk around in each & every day, creating our reality or keeping us prisoner". . Hey you guys! In this video I'm sharing 3 self limiting beliefs that we need to let go of to really start manifesting the life that we prefer, the life that we know we came here to live. It all starts with our identity, the way that we view ourselves. May times we are looking at ourselves in a limiting way, and most of this is happening on a subconscious level. However, once you become aware of this you can make a conscious shift to change the way you view yourself, and then change your beliefs revolving around this identity. Most of our beliefs are projected onto us from societal programming, or maybe things that we have learned from other's self limiting beliefs which we have agreed to and accepted as our own. I'm here to tell you that we can change the meaning of the past, things that happened to us in the past, and change the meaning in which we give to reality in general. We attribute certain beliefs with money, relationships, love, and our dreams and goals. By the end of this video you are going to become self aware of the 3 main beliefs that many of us are holding onto, keeping us from flying. You're going to learn how to change the meaning of these beliefs, to start manifesting your dreams & preferred reality. .

How do you see customer experience changing over the next 5 years, especially in light of the fact that we've all been forced to have to make adjustments to how we deliver service to our customers because of this pandemic that we're experiencing globally. Do you see that transitioning the landscape of customer experience as we move forward? Could you share with us how do you stay motivated every day? What's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? Could you share with us some of the books, maybe one or two that have had the biggest impact on you, whether it was a recent read or maybe something you read a very long time ago that stays with you to this day? Could you share with us what's one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about - either something that you're working on to develop yourself or your people? Where can listeners find you online? Could you share with us one quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you tend to revert to this quote because it kind of helps to refocus you and kind of just get you back on that path. Highlights Matt shared that the journey to be VHT for me started in 2017, partnered with a wonderful group of investors in the San Francisco Bay Area, a firm called Alpina Investors and they partnered with the goal of looking for businesses that really capitalized on two trends that they thought were important. One is the increasingly critical role that artificial intelligence automation would play for delivering customer success information. So, whether that would be for, let's say, product level requests, people are gathering information and making a purchase decision or break fix type of requests where individuals are calling in because they're having difficulty working with a product or service and need the help from a brand to accomplish that. And our sort of underlying assumption was in this increasingly complex, multi-device world, consumers will have greater need for services but there's a finite capacity of skills and knowledge to service that demand. And it turned out VHT really capitalized on both of those trends. What callback software ultimately is all about, particularly for these very, very large brands like Bank of America, or a big airline or consumer brand is they deal with a tremendously high volume of calls that are coming into a contact centre, but they have finite agent capacity to serve those requests. And anytime there's a gap or a breakdown in that, we all experience that as hold time and probably one of the very few universal negative experiences that we have when we're trying to get help from a brand is more waiting on hold. So what VHT does is takes that time and transfers it to when the consumer is available and an agent is ready to talk to that customer and because they do that at such a large scale, it ends up being something that creates a lot of brand loyalty. So, it drives up net promoter scores and customer engagement, but it also saves the brand an awful lot of money, because instead of having staff for situations where they have peak demand at all times, what they can do is staff to a more sustained level and then make that capacity available to meet the customers when they're available to serve them. So, they saw that as a wonderful opportunity. And about a year and a half ago, about 18 months ago, they acquired a virtual hold and since that time, they've been investing to advance that into a similarity that he’s I'm happy to talk about. I asked what does VHT stand for? As it wasn’t on the website. Is it Virtual Hold Technology? Matt stated that that's exactly right. The company was founded 25 years ago by a brilliant entrepreneur named Mark Williams, the original name of the company was Virtual Hold Technology and as the name implies, it's really all about callback. Me:Great, so this software, I think, is brilliant. I don't know if you service organizations in Jamaica but if you don't, I think there is a great opportunity here. So, I host my website with GoDaddy and I've been having a lot of challenges upgrading my website in the last few weeks in relation to my developer and having it migrated and there's just a lot of issues and so I have to be calling GoDaddy quite often, of course, with Coronavirus, they've had an exceedingly large volume of calls and they have the option. First of all, they advise you of how long the wait time will be and they’ll say like 20 or 25 minutes. And then they say, “If you'd like for us to call you back in 20 or 25 minutes, we can give you back a call.” And of course, because they have my number in their system already, it's just a matter of me stating my name after they've put on a beep and it's been brilliant, it works wonderfully, I don't need to sit on hold and they call me back and when they do call me back, I'm not waiting for more than about maybe 20 seconds before the call actually is transferred to a live human being. So, I must commend you. I think it's a brilliant software, and I think every business should implement it, especially if they're experiencing, as you said, a large volume of calls. Matt agreed and stated that there's no question and the experience that you're having, of course, is something that's familiar to us all at the moment because of the COVID-19 virus and they've (VHT) been very active in adjusting their business model and their offerings to support companies that are experiencing a lot of strain as a result of COVID-19. They launched a program several weeks ago now, about a little over a month ago called the Virtual Hold COVID Assistance Program and the goal is to make not just their callback capabilities, but their automation capabilities, their messaging capabilities that are newer, coming from the company available to businesses or even local government organizations that are suddenly finding themselves, for example, not being able to be in their office and consumers or tax holders or people seeking information about the virus and so forth, calling into their local offices trying to get answers to questions and they're just not equipped to operate. And so, they've been delighted to work with some local governments, some healthcare providers and others to provide their capabilities at no cost for 30 days, which, as we all know in the early stages of the virus outbreak, was quite critical. And now what they're finding with their customer base businesses that they've been doing business with for quite a long time, they're also helping them make longer term plans because, thankfully, the virus will not last forever and as they begin to normalize their businesses, they're able to help them deliver consistent service levels even as the staffing is a little bit uncertain, unfortunately. Matt shared that their vision for their company is to enable people to get the help they need for brands they love on terms that they choose. And callback is, of course, very illustrative of that. But as they thought about that vision, they also looked at not just where the market has been, but where the future is. And they arrived at a focus on the mobile device as the primary device in which almost all of us now are using to make inquiries to brands, to make phone calls, but also, of course, it's our primary communication tool to interact with each other. And in the context of a person to person interaction, we're messaging with friends or communicating with friends, that's not just a voice experience anymore. In fact, overwhelmingly, people are preferring even for the initial contact with a friend to be through an SMS perhaps interaction or through a mobile messaging application of some sort. And then, maybe you ask, “Hey, are you available to talk on the phone right now or would you be available later?” So, the ability to move from a messaging interaction to a voice interaction is something that we all just take for granted because we're all equipped with a smartphone. So, what they see going forward is that's how every major brand is going to have to interact with their customers. So, they developed a new platform that they call Mindful and what Mindful does is delivers as a SAAS offering, a way for large brands to interact with their customers in the manner in which they prefer so they could start, for example, with a SMS interaction asking for information about a product or service or how particular solution needs to be implemented or checking on a reservation, checking in on a bank balance, could be anything. And to enable that to be initiated in either a voice call or through a messaging interaction and then for the brand to interact with them as though they were a friend, so be able to maintain the session information over time, because as we all know, you bring up your friends messaging session and you can see the whole conversation history, the consumer can see the whole conversation history. So, they want to do the exact same thing for large brands to enable them to interact with their customers and preserve all that conversation history so there's always context on the history of the relationship, perhaps the evolution of a problem and things of that sort. And that's what they're delivering on the Mindful platform, is a complete toolset, if you will, to make interacting with a large brand, just like interacting with your best friend. Me: So it's almost like the WhatsApp version of a company experience? Matt agreed. He shared what’s difficult of course, is to do that at scale. So, as he mentioned, if you're a large airline or a large bank where you have bag of millions and millions of consumers that you're interacting with, you end up with a very unique set of challenges, hopefully, as he mentioned, we're back to more normal situations where maybe there's a power outage in a particular area or perhaps, a hurricane if you're in Jamaica, you're familiar with the weather being very disruptive. And the airlines need to be able to adjust to changing conditions, but yet deliver consistent service and if you're operating multiple contact centers or things of that sort. Sometimes the contact center is going off line and you need to shift some of that demand to a contact center that's currently available. So, that's where they feel like they can bring just a lot of value is when these problems are really on a large scale, spanning millions of consumers and make sure it's a great experience for the company and also a very significant financial benefit, because, as he mentioned earlier, they're able to maintain a more steady staffing level, even though demand might be very dynamic. Me: Mindful platform and we can access that through your website, www.vhtcx.com allows for this seamless transition across talk and text. Does it provide analytics as well? Matt shared that the other real key pieces, there's really two other real key elements. First is automation's, because as you move between different channels and different sessions and so forth, there's an opportunity to gain efficiencies by applying bots and artificial intelligence and automation really weaves together the transitions between a voice interaction that could be with a live agent to a bot, to an A.I. service. And so, automation is one piece of it but as you mentioned, all of this needs to make sense from a business standpoint in terms of ensuring that service levels are being monitored and maintained, being able to look at what the different queue conditions are and the relative performance of how the cues are responding to what customer demand is. Obviously, there's cost associated with that. So, the analytics gives them the ability to work with their customers to ensure that they're not just delivering a great consumer experience, but that also it's making financial sense and business sense as well. Matt shared that he thinks that we are all being conditioned into a new set of expectations as a result of mobile devices. And we take it now as second nature that we have this very powerful supercomputer we carry with us. And it's connected up to a global network that is able to provide services and data on demand. And what we believe is that the sort of traditional contact center that was really designed around when telephones were something that were attached to a wall with a cable and that the customer's experience expectations are dramatically different. And the technology to service them, therefore, must also reflect that evolution. So, first and foremost is authentication and really that speaks to in order for a brand to be able to meet the customer's needs, they need to know who you are and so there's tremendous work going on to dramatically simplify authentication, whether that's an app or through a messaging interaction or voice interaction. And the challenge there, of course, is it needs to be as frictionless as possible but at the same time, protect the private information, enable sensitive information such as, if it's health care data or financial data to be exchanged in it as frictionless a manner as possible. The second piece is, as he mentioned, how the customer wishes to be served. So, once he knows who you are, then he can start understanding how best to serve you. So, for a younger demographic, let's say they may never want to talk on the phone at all, they may want to conduct all their business through a digital interaction, whether that's an SMS, an in app experience or a digital experience on the company's website. So, being able to have that preference understood as early in the experience with the customer as possible so that it can be delivered appropriately. And then, of course, it extends out into multiple devices and especially as we look at Alexa and other smart devices that are increasingly capable of native voice interactions with no human involvement. That's going to be a very important area of evolution and how we expect to be served. We want to be able to ask questions and get answers pretty instantaneously and so that is going to involve the voice assistant technology, again, complemented with A.I. and automation to really make that a seamless and delightful experience for their consumers. But in the end, they also believe that agents will continue to play a vital role because just the nature of complex interactions with customers or particular, it may be that the customer prefers ultimately to talk to a human being, if that involves, let's say, retirement planning or vacation plan and things of that sort where you might need human expertise or human judgment on how to resolve a particular issue or answer a particular question. So, they see that the agent continuing to play a vitally important role or maybe more a general is a subject matter expert to continue to play a very vital role in delivering great customer experiences for the foreseeable future. I agreed and stated, I think technology is awesome, it really has made things simpler and I love that word that you use frictionless or effortless. Less effort we customers have to invest in anything that we're doing makes our life that much easier. But I still do believe that people still crave at some point some human interaction because the reality is, when you call a company or you're trying to reach out to them, you're really only reaching out for two reasons, to make a request or to make a complaint. And so, if it's a complaining issue or even if it's a request, I'm thinking you want some form of immediate feedback. I mean, one of my pain points, since Coronavirus is, a lot of local organizations in Jamaica have taken up WhatsApp as a method of communication with their channels but they're not responsive. You’ll send a WhatsApp message at 9:00 am in the morning and nobody responds to you until 3:00 pm in the afternoon, had I wanted to wait 6 hours for response, I probably wouldn't have contacted you. Matt mentioned that that's wonderful example of when we think about customer experience. Ultimately, we are emotional beings. And so, something that makes him happy and feel good when he interact with a brand is really what the brands need to aspire to deliver to their customers. And so, if he’s disappointing the customer and the callback world, if they say that your phone is going to ring in 20 minutes and there's going to be an agent on the phone, you expect as a consumer for your phone to ring in 20 minutes and there to be an agent on the phone. And so, that's an example in the callback domain. In the WhatsApp example or other digital examples, he thinks we all have experienced automations that fall well short of what his expectations are, because they're very task specific, they're perhaps very repetitive or the information that he’s providing them never makes it to a human agent that by the time he’s talking to an agent, he has to reintroduce himself, re-explain the problem and all these sorts of things. So, the ability to apply the appropriate amount of automation to make it very easy to onboard, very easy to initiate contact with the brand but ultimately, as you experienced it, you need to think it all the way through to, “Why did this individual contact me and am I resolving that in a timely and delightful manner?” And so that's not easy for brands to do because you're experiencing it right now. Obviously, those organizations would love to deliver a great experience but it does involve really thinking through completely what the end to end experience is going to be that you serve to the customer and that's really where they focus a lot of their energy is delivering a great customer outcome. So, that's the key to the whole thing, it’s not the technology, it's that ultimately that emotional, you smile at the end of the interaction and all too often we don't experience that very often in interacting with brands. When asked how does he stay motivated, Matt shared that in a very direct sense, he thinks every day is a gift and he heard a quote a long time ago that really stayed with him, which is that, “Each moment and each breath is a new beginning.” And he thinks it's very easy for people to get distracted by maybe what happened yesterday or what might happen in the future but he's certainly really taken a lot of motivation from just looking at the opportunities that you have. Even solving problems today is delivering a lot of value and one of the real things they're privileged with at VHT is they get to do their job still, even though their company is remote, unlike so many people that are suffering and being dislocated and so forth. So, getting motivated is not a challenge at all. They're getting up every day and they know they're helping millions of people get answers to questions and he finds that personally to be very motivating. Matt shared that for operating their business right now, they're heavy users of the Zoom platform for video and collaboration but a close second behind that is Slack. And so, those are the two tools they've been leveraging very heavily internally for their internal communications and for the customer communications, because most of their customers are large companies, those tend to be whatever the tools are that the customer prefers for them to use to interact with them and their brands. But within their business, they're leaning very heavily these days on both Zoom and Slack. When asked about books that have has the biggest impact, Matt shared that the one that was from a long time ago that made a big impression on him is called The Executive in Action : Three Drucker Management Books on What To Do and How To Do It by Peter Drucker. It's actually three books in one. If you study management thinking for any period of time, ultimately, whether it's somebody that just published a book last week or somebody published a book 10 years ago, they all go back to Peter Drucker and it's a common point of origin. He's a very forward thinking man and did an incredible volume of work so that is the first one from long ago. More recently, his wife gave him as a present at Christmas time, turned out to be very timely that's Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius was one of the Roman emperors, first part of the new millennium and he was a philosopher and stoic philosophy and that really focuses on being in the moment. And that's the short version of he’s new to stoic philosophy so he will not attempt to over explain what it is, but it really is all about making sure that you're staying in the moment and trying to serve good always. If you're in the moment and you're trying to serve a good purpose, then generally speaking, you’re on the right track. I mentioned that it's funny you said that because it dovetails nicely into this new principle that many organizations and their leaders are embracing, which is mindfulness. And it also matches back with the name of your new platform, mindful. So, what I'm getting is it's being present in all of those moments that you are sharing with each and every one of those customers in order to build stronger relationships. Matt agreed and stated that it is coincidental that the Marcus Aurelius practice and stoicism really is about mindfulness. And he thinks their brand, they thought very deeply about it that wasn't something that they came up with because they thought it was a catchy name. They wanted to convey what their intent is, and they felt that mindful really conveyed their intent; the reason why they get up every day is, as he mentioned earlier, to service that vision of enabling people to get the help they need from brands they love on terms they choose. And for them, that really meant that you approach people in a thoughtful way, in a sensitive way as to what their preferences are. And, of course, there's the connotation around artificial intelligence and some of the other things that ultimately can be brought to bear on delivering great customer experience. And so, when they first came upon the idea of branding their new offering, Mindful, they got really excited about it very quickly. So, it's Mindful by VHT. Matt shared that one of the things they adopted after the Coronavirus hit is they do a call every single day, they call it coffee tea time and it's completely voluntary for their employees to come to that. And it was intended to be, as the name implies, just a place to come and relax. When people are working from home, it's easy to get lonely. We're all human beings and social animals. So they thought it’s a nice place to gather but what's sort of come out of that for them is they also saw that as a place to bring motivation and light and encouragement to people. And one of the things that they hold as one of their core values is that they are pursuing things with a sense of passion and purpose, that's an individual expression. And so, what they're doing now is something he has gotten directly involved with is they are reaching out to people to join them during their coffee time that they'd be motivating to hear from. That would bring light and sort of insight, of course, things that are relevant in the world that we work in, but also relevant in terms of people that have really lived their passion in life. So they're actively inviting people to come in. It's similar to what they're doing right now, have a 10 or 15 minute conversation and then invite the employees to ask questions and just have a discussion. So, they're bringing people from across the industry and people that they've met over the years that they think would be of interest to the team, to commence on. He’s very excited about that and he doesn't think they'll do it five days a week, but he thinks they will do it one or two days a week. They'll have an outside guest come in and join them. So he’s very excited about that. I asked, so have you started as yet or is it something that's ongoing? Matt shared that he just confirmed his first 2 guests. So, now they're getting more nominations from some employees on people that would be fun to have come. And so he’s excited about inviting them. Matt shared listeners can find him at – Facebook – @vhtcx LinkedIn – VHT Twitter - @vhtcx YouTube - VHT Website – www.vhtcx.com Matt mentioned that first and foremost, he would love you to follow their company, he monitors that quite closely. So, if you have questions or areas of interest, please like them on those platforms or join them on those forums. And he'd love to talk with you there. When asked about a quote or saying that helps him refocus, Matt shared that he’s going to quote that ancient philosopher Yoda, “There is no try. There is only do or do not.” Links The Executive in Action : Three Drucker Management Books on What To Do and How To Do It by Peter Drucker Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Do you want to pivot your online customer experience and build loyalty - get a copy of “The ABC’s of a Fantastic Customer Experience.” The ABC's of a Fantastic Customer Experience provides 26 easy to follow steps and techniques that helps your business to achieve success and build brand loyalty.

EPISODE 46 – MAILBAG SHOW 1 “Fake Friends and Overwhelm” Intro During the last few weeks, you will have heard my special six-part series within the series based on Napoleon Hill’s awesome book, the Law of Success in 16 Lessons. I have been waiting with bated breath to see how it went down and from the positive vibes it’s been getting on social media all seems to be well. It was a very serious undertaking which nearly dragged me under but once I had started it I realised that I couldn’t back down or deliver it to you half-@ssed. I hope you’ve all found it helpful. If you’ve not checked it out yet then please go back to episode 40 to listen to all 6 episodes in order. It’s over 3 hours of content which outlines A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS which is accessible to all. Please tell people about it and get them listening too. I plan to take the 6 episodes and make a FREE Udemy course with them for show promotion reasons so I’ll let you know when I get that together too. Today I am answering various questions which you have been sending in, and I’ll get on to that in a minute - but first I must tell you how I managed to make myself a productivity nightmare out of this episode before I even started – and how you can avoid it if you ever have to do something similar. The problem was that I asked people to get in touch with questions for the show but I was very broad on HOW TO DO IT. I created a rod for my own back as I have had questions in via Facebook, Twitter, the official website contact form, the official website’s speak pipe app, via WhatApp, my personal email address and the show one, Instagram messenger and verbally. Pulling these together was nightmarish. For at least some of the questions I was able to forward them to the official email address as they came in but as I didn’t do it for all when I got really busy and had to focus on the fight work at hand. As a result - I have really struggled to find all of the messages that have come in but I have done my best, For all future mailbag shows I will ask that messages be sent to the shows official email account which for the record is filmproproductivity@gmail.com with the word MAILBAG placed in the Subject line. Further to that, I would request that questions come in which only have up to 50 words in them. If you ever plan to ask folks for questions, whether you run a podcast, or if it’s just a social media post or something, I urge you to do the same. Now as I have been working on this I have decided to split this episode over two shows. Although I didn’t have a particularly vast number of questions - the ones you did hit me with were really quite complex to answer. Part 2 of this episode will be released as an inbetweenisode in January. Without further ado though, let's go on. Questions “I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” ― Mark Twain Unquote Ok so this first question, I’ve been struggling to cut down in length, but I’ve done my best – It’s from RHEA who is a screenwriter and producer in LIVERPOOL, UK. She says: I made a film with someone that I thought was my friend but too late realised that they were very controlling and just liked to be the centre of attention. My initial frustration was that they would say they had done things only for me to later discover when we were running out of time to get things done, that they hadn’t. I’d then have to do it myself, and they’d turn around and say ‘That was my job, you are just trying to take everything away from me!’ This happened time and again with important and imminent production level matters that the project would come to a standstill without. They’d put in the minimal effort like make one phone call and when they draw a blank, they’d just give up. One time I very luckily saw the very thing we urgently needed, an action vehicle; so-called the company there and then and got it. When I went to a production meeting with this person and the director, they seemed happy that I’d got what we were looking for, but as soon as I was home I got lots of long nasty messages because they hadn’t been the one to get what we needed, even though they had previously admitted to giving up on it. More often, they would openly criticise me IN FRONT of others. Once, in a room full of people they made a personal comment about me that silenced the room. Fortunately, those people then defended me. The last straw for me was listening to them talk badly about someone else as they did with many people. I stopped working with them after that and they became nasty. They’d tell lies and makeup stories to make me look bad and make them look better and they would always play the victim, although I’ve since found out that’s something they’ve always done. Their messages became abusive and threatening. I blocked every way they had of contacting me, but I know that any chance they’d get they’d try to make me look bad and gossip about me, even though I have never talked about them. I have discovered since, that a lot of people already knew what they were like but didn’t tell me because we were “friends” and even admitted that they had avoided working with me because of them. I know most people are grown up enough to listen to both sides of a story and get to know people before accepting what someone says about them, but it seems to be those few small-minded, not very smart people that believe a one-sided story, that stay in your head. If you’re friends with someone and put time, effort and in some cases money into projects with them to only too late discover that they’re not your friend – How do you get over and move on from it? …and not let the lies and gossip affect you? Better a good enemy than a bad friend. Plato UNQUOTE Okay, Rhea, there’s a lot going here and I’ve done my best to streamline your questions, I hope without losing too much of the content. Let me deal with your last question first - How do you not let lies and gossip affect you? "Zig" Ziglar was an incredibly successful American author, salesman, and motivational speaker who passed away in 2012. I quote from him often in my quotes of the day on social media as he gets right to the point of many of the problems that I have faced myself, and I trust his instincts and teachings. He said that we should “Live in such a way that if someone should talk badly of you, no one would believe it.” (repeat) You are not alone in having faced this sort of thing - I’ve faced it myself now and again as have many others. It used to cause me more concern than it does now, but I also understand how it can eat away at you, and burn up your mental energy and cause you upset and distress. Zig Ziglar’s statement should give you the assurance that if this person is as you describe them, that the people who matter and whose opinion you actually care about have already very likely sussed them out. Or if they haven’t, they will soon enough. I think your point that others didn’t want to work with you because of them backs this up. Remember too the words of Eleanor Roosevelt who once said: "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." In a quote attributed to David Foster Wallace, although I did have to go into the quote investigator website to verify that as my Google search attributed it to someones Facebook page in 2012 which is ridiculous- Wallace said: You’ll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do. I was looking up who said, “What other people think of you is none of your business” when I found that one – but I never did find the answer. I’ll sum up on this though by also stating that what someone else thinks about you really does not matter. The only thing that matters is what you think about yourself. Do not give those who don’t even know you the power to determine your happiness. Take control of that – as you unhook yourself from other people’s validation, you become truly powerful. An article by medium.com gives this advice You cannot read minds, so stop acting like you can. We all have a kind of negativity bias so we usually assume negative things. How many times have you found yourself thinking “Oh they all love my dress”? Never. Our brains just aren’t wired that way and as a result, you are probably making the wrong assumptions. Your own thoughts are the only thing you can control. Marcus Aurelius said: “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts” so you need to intelligently take control of them and not let them be hijacked by others. I know it’s not always easy, but you can do this. When you are preoccupied with what other people think, you are not in control of your own thoughts. A focused mind is one of the most powerful things on earth, We are all living in the future, living in the past or trying to live in someone else’s mind. If you are worried about what other people think, you will never really focus on what you want in life. If you spend your limited mental energy worrying about other people you won’t have anything left to focus on what really makes you happy. Rhea’s first question was How do you get over and move on from a negative experience like what she went through with her once friend? I’ve had very similar experiences to what you describe, and I doubt it’s limited just to creative work. I think we all face similar problems when interacting with others in life and work. William Blake wrote It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. UNQUOTE I heard a new word today whilst watching a YouTube video – The word was POUTRAGE. POUT-RAGE. That’s someone showing an expression of petulant annoyance and attacking you when they are revealed to be divisive, lazy or deceiving in some way. When you took over from that person and solved the problems which they had created, you showed them up to be one or all of the above. From the sounds of things, all of the above would be pretty accurate. I’ve faced it myself, and I talked about it in an earlier show, I can’t recall where. I found someone with their hand in the proverbial till, and they created a smokescreen of POUTRAGE to cover up the fact that they were caught out. Pout-ragers don’t immediately back down because they can’t – they are too committed to their fake outrage - but they do eventually lose steam. In the face of facts, they get very loud and angry but it’s all smoke and mirrors. A good demonstrative example of this was that I once caught someone trying to scam me on my car’s dashcam. I pulled in behind a parked car and went into a shop. When I came out they had backed into me. They raged at me and ranted about how I had driven in and hit them and I simply said, I have a dashcam mate. They raged and raged and raged about it before buggering off. I posted that video on youtube to warn others. That video 100% proved they had lied and tried to scam me. Those without evidence to back up their actions eventually lose steam because they don’t want to highlight the fact that they are wrong or have lied. I’d say that your negative experiences on this film mirror many other filmmakers journey. My friend Bryan warned me of certain problems he’d faced on his first feature, and I, in turn, had many mirrors to his problems on my own so I think you can take heart in that you are not alone in your experiences. The biggest frustration I personally experienced is similar to your own - that “some people” - perhaps even professionals you have to work with – seemingly believe the words of the person who has been poutraging. I eventually let this go as those people that are unwilling to do a minimal investigation into claims, who accept what an enemy says about me or who despite overwhelming evidence still side with the poutrager, are not people I want to be connected. They who will soon learn the hard way that they have aligned with someone who is bringing them down. I shouldn’t say it but I smile quietly to myself now when I think of the foolish people who have not yet realised their error. You don't lose when you lose fake friends. Joan Jett UNQUOTE I’ve kinda covered getting rid of fake or bad friends in my episodes about toxic relationships etc so to finally answer your question directly, as I have wondered a little, I move on from bad or negative experiences by adapting and learning from them. I realise that’s another one of those productivity statements that sounds simple but is harder to put into action than it first appears btw. For that reason, I’ll go a bit further. To move on you must: 1/ Learn from the past but don’t dwell there. No matter how painful they are, take some time to reflect on your experiences and realise that they will actually benefit you down the road. I never made a second feature (at least not yet) but the bad experiences I faced on my first, and it’s still causing me strife btw, almost make me want to make a second one because I feel like the bad experiences taught me so much. Instead of doing a second feature though, I make this podcast to ensure that the experiences at least benefit others. 2/ Next, Get the pain you’re feeling off your chest. Venting to a friend or writing it down like you did here for this episode will have helped you. Expressing your feelings will help sort out what, if anything, needs to be done to move on. 3/ Try and avoid taking on the role of the victim. It’s too easy and sometimes it feels good, but the problem is, blaming others prevents you from going forward and removes your ability to take control. It’s a form of auto-suggestion that if you are not careful, might permanently make you the victim, and forever take away your control. 4/ Another effective way to let go of the past is to embrace the present. Keep yourself active and enjoy the current moment. Learn a new skill. Meditate. Exercise. Whatever it is, just live in the moment. Look back to episode 22 on Rumination to find other ways to break that cycle. It will in effect freeze up your ability to move on. 5/ Before moving on again you might want to Disconnect. Take some time away so that you can clear your head. Remove yourself from the situation by distancing yourself from the people, places and things that remind you of it. When you return to start a new project, you’ll have a perspective on the past. 6/ Another thing to do before returning to this and possibly making the same mistake again, is to take inventory of the people around you. Who is negative and always bringing you down? Who are the people associated with the past that you’re trying to move away from? You may need to move away from these people to find more positive people who will empower you. I often refer to Jim Rohn who said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. This relates to the law of averages, which is the theory that the result of any given situation will be the average of all outcomes. If you have even one lazy person, one negative person or one divisive or toxic person in that group it will greatly affect your ability to move on as you will always be carrying, covering for or being frustrated by them. This, in turn, will ensure that you cannot ever bring all your focus to bear on the matter at hand. Look back to episode 40 to find out about THE MASTER MIND which is effectively what you need to create if you want to move forward with others. 7/ The final piece of advice I’d give is, as much as it rubs me the wrong way in principle, all the advice that I can see out there says that If you’ve been hurt by someone you need to forgive them. Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “Forgiving others is essential for spiritual growth.” He presents 15 steps to help you forgive someone, which include things like embracing the past while moving on, making a new agreement with yourself, not going to sleep angry and being kind and generous. In my experience, which has been strengthened by the GOLDEN RULE presented in the last episode of THE LAW OF SUCCESS. Forgiving others helps you to move on as it disempowers those who have bullied, frustrated or cheated us. It’s distasteful at first, but powerful and effective. A fake friend likes to see you do well, but not better than them. Your negative experiences with that person on your project have been a costly lesson for you but one which will strengthen you as you go forward. Today’s second question for this episode comes from my friend Ian O’Neill of the How They Did It Filmmaking Podcast in Canada – He asks: How do you cope when overwhelmed by a project? Overwhelm is a 20-foot wave crashing into you. Repeatedly. Psychologist Marla W. Deibler described overwhelm as “feeling completely overcome in mind or emotion. When we think a stressor is too great for us to manage, we feel overwhelmed.” UNQUOTE Part of my answer to this Ian is encapsulated in season 1 of this podcast, which I almost called Save Yourself or From Burnout to Badass. I created FILM PRO PRODUCTIVITY to help people head off OVERWHELM and BURNOUT before it crashes upon them as I’d already had it pretty bad myself on my own first feature. In Episode 1 I introduce the concept of intellectually taking control of our lives through the principle of higher-level thinking because this allows us to get in a headspace where we can take on the productivity advice that I offer. Without assuming a higher level of thinking. Of intelligent and accurate thought, we are going nowhere fast. In Episode 2 I encouraged people to say “NO” to anything that didn’t further their own dreams and objectives – I continued this in the first part of the Law Of Success series, which talks about setting out a definite chief aim for ourselves. If you know exactly what you are trying to achieve, you can say no to anything that doesn’t take you closer to it. This frees up time and energy you would be giving away to others and allows you to bring it to bear on your own problems. Finally, in Episode 3 I introduced a system for prioritising what is important over what is not. Separating the important and the unimportant, from what is urgent and what is not, along with the principle of saying NO often - will save many of us from being overwhelmed in the first instance. Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one. Max Lucado UNQUOTE I do recognise however that it’s not always easy to do these seemingly simple things as life can be relentless as curveballs such as illness or changes in circumstances can get in the way. Your question was though, How do you cope when overwhelmed by a project? As I researched my answer here, I noted that Anxiety seems to be the most common cause of overwhelm. BTW I should clarify here that the overwhelm we are talking about is sometimes known as EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM - a state of being beset by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. When we relate this to projects, it manifests for many as STRESS AND ANXIETY and I will be taking that topic on later in the season as it’s a big one that deserves its own show. I might even make it my New Year episode. Who knows. Feeling overwhelmed has many faces. It might manifest as an intense emotion, such as anxiety, anger or irritability; worry, doubt or helplessness; and behaviour, such as crying, lashing out or experiencing a panic attack. It can affect our ability to think and act rationally and prevent us from performing daily tasks. As we lock up in its grip we seem to achieve less and less and get more and more overwhelmed by the tasks that sit before us. Psychcentral.com suggests you consider these 6 things when dealing with overwhelm. Accept your anxiety. Has fighting your feelings of overwhelm ever helped you erase them? Probably not. More likely, battling your emotions only boosted them. Think of acceptance as riding out a wave of overwhelm. Change overwhelm-inducing thoughts. Thoughts of uncontrollability or unpredictability are the backbone of overwhelm. It’s the unrealistic or unreasonable thoughts that spark our stressed-out reaction. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to what we tell ourselves and learn to create helpful thoughts. Let’s say you have a mile-long to-do list, and all you keep thinking is “I’ll never get this done.” That’s a damaging thought that can lead to distress and anxiety. It paralyzes you from problem-solving and taking action. It goes right back to the rumination thing I spoke about earlier. Rumination is a poisonous and damaging habit to get into. Try and intellectually break it’s cycle so ask yourself “In what ways might this [thought] be inaccurate, unreasonable or unhelpful?” then re-write them in your conscious mind - If you think “I may not get it all finished today, but if I work on it or if I seek assistance, I will likely get it done;” then this conscious thought will affect your unconscious mind and put you back in control. If you stick to, I’ll never get this done, let's face it – you are already in trouble. Stop multitasking.“’Multitasking’ by definition implies that we are doing too many things at once,” so shift your perspective and change your expectation that everything has to be completed right now ‘or else. Do things one at a time. Use some of the simple techniques I describe in episode 9 FOUR HACKS TO BEAT PROCRASTINATION – to help you achieve things. Focus on the “now”. When you’re consumed with what may or may not happen in several minutes or months, you can’t appreciate the here and now. Schedule time to plan for the future, so you can breathe in the present moment. Take a deep breath. Deep breathing encourages our body’s relaxation response. Sometimes you just have to ta a minute to get your head straight. It can make all the difference to your mindset and your stress levels. Take action. And that action doesn’t necessarily have to be related to the project which is causing you overwhelm. Just engage in an activity that you enjoy, such as listening to music, swimming, reading a book or taking a walk. This can be enough to jump you out of the negative headspace you find yourself in and offer a solution. I’ll add here that you should take a leaf out of the HOW DO YOU EAT AN ELEPHANT episode and if you are having difficulty dealing with it as it is, break your project down into a series of smaller parts. This can be done even if you have already split it down once already. Divisions can always be subdivided. Not thinking of your project as one big problem is a very direct way of stopping overwhelm as when you can intelligently break it down into a series of small tasks that you can chip away at it. That overwhelm feeling, although it may not entirely go away, at least becomes somewhat manageable in that instance. This series is a good example of this. I am right now very frustrated that I still haven’t recorded the whole season as I was working so much and then picked up a cold, and even now have a chest infection which is slowing me down drastically. I feel frustrated but I don’t feel OVERWHELMED. Another thing I do to help combat overwhelm is that I have a whiteboard written up and in an obvious place in the house which shows the progress of this series. I can see how close I am to completing each episode – which in turn is split into research, write, record, create promo image, find a sponsor and create a promo video. It’s frustrating when I am only very slowly ticking stuff off but it’s not overwhelming as I can still see progress. One last thing that you should consider is to see what you can delegate to others. If you are trying to do it all yourself, you may find that you are feeling overwhelmed because you are simply taking on too much. If you can find people that will genuinely help, and who are not going to let you down, or betray you, as happened in Rhea’s case, then it will mean that you will progress further and faster than you will on your own. Listen again to episode 40 and the MASTER MIND LESSON as you must find people who will with you in HARMONY of purpose and effort. My final question for today is this – and it’s come in from quite a few of you. It’s going to sound like I have set this up but I haven’t – The question is what you can do to help the show? Well there are a few things that you can do to help REVIEW THE SHOW ON YOUR PODCAST APP. My good friend Gillian from The GoTo Agency in Glasgow always says sell the sizzle and not the steak. Reviews where people rave about the show give me great quotes which I can use to promote it. These reviews create a sizzle which makes others want to listen too. They are more valuable than you might think. RETWEETS AND SHARES ON SOCIAL MEDIA are more valuable than likes so if you have the opportunity to do so without boring your followers to death with them, please do so. TALK ABOUT THE SHOW in real life and on social media. If the show helps you, please talk about it. This helps the sizzle I mentioned before. ASK PEOPLE TO LISTEN. I have to admit that I am asking people to listen a lot myself when I meet them at work. I’m beginning to feel like it’s the kiss of death for getting a new subscriber though as I swear I don’t think anyone I talk to about the show ever actually listens to it. If you are out there listener – please stand up and let me know my efforts were not in vain. The biggest problem I face with this show is not content or production – It’s simply finding new listeners. It is an inconceivably difficult nut to crack. The listenership based on the information I have is about 650 to 750 downloads every two weeks which is up about 100 a week on last season, and as solo podcasts go, these numbers are really pretty good, but they are not GREAT. I want my listenership to grow as I make it to help people and so getting people to do that is the entire point of everything I do. It’s just... well – difficult. I make no money from this, far from it. So my frustration is that I just can’t figure out how to improve the numbers and although several listeners (Chris and Sheri are the most recent volunteers) have offered to very directly help me push it on out there - I can’t see where best to put my efforts. When I apply Napoleon Hill’s Accuracy of Thought lesson it starts to become clear that Social Media, as a tool for podcast audience growth, is a dead loss. I recently said on Twitter that 99.5% of my followers DON’T ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE SHOW, but the figure is nearer 99.8%. It’s demonstrably atrocious. Social media does not convert into listeners – it’s just the truth of the matter. There’s plenty of “marketers” out there trying to convince me that it does, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram trying to sell me their services, but I’m yet to see how that dollar commitment to marketing the show turns into any reliable listenership. There are other benefits to social media though, and many current listeners do interact with me there so don’t worry. It will continue! Call To Action Your call to action today is to as always consider what has been said. Hopefully, you can apply it to your life and work and relationships. If you really would like to help, then getting on to your podcasting app and reviewing the show would be massively appreciated. Ending As I mentioned before I have split the content of this show into two separate episodes. The 2nd Mailbag episode, should if all goes as planned, go out in late January. I think it will be called “Technology and The Science of ‘When’” or words to that effect. That last question there got me to thinking about my marketing. I removed this from the answer but feel it may be of interest to you. I have a few ideas to try, but feel free to get in touch via the contact page on the website if you are an expert in this field. I’m going to, over the next 9 months or so: Attempt to put up more video content, although I am yet to see evidence that this makes a difference to podcast listener growth. Sometime next year I will start putting the shows out on youtube. I think perhaps there is a listenership there. Offer myself up for interviews on other podcasts as their listeners may jump over to my show after listening tp those interviews. Anyone interested. Find influencers and celebrities to listen to and promote the show. So we’re just about done here - Next week I’m releasing my longest episode to date, which given that I wanted to shorten my episodes this season shows how well that’s been going. Hashtag DOH! Catch it though as it’s a really good one - It’s called BULLIES and THE SILENT MAJORITY. Let me end today with a quote from Will Smith If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success. Now take control of your own destiny, keep on shootin’ and join me next time on FILM PRO PRODUCTIVITY!

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 0320, And It Will Be About What Every Contractor Needs To Know About Profit And Growth Coaching When my partner, Sharie DeHart and I, were running construction and plumbing service and repair businesses beginning in the early 1970s until 2000 we felt we did not need to pay anybody to tell us what to do because we knew exactly what to do. After several very painful and extremely costly mistakes, we found the adage "Experience Is The Best Teacher...And The Most Expensive" to be oh so true! We found ourselves, our family, employees, and suppliers were all riding on our Roller Coaster of Surprises, some good, some bad. On occasion, we would wake up screaming bloody murder only to discover it was the middle of the afternoon, and we were not asleep! After a while, we decided perhaps there was truth to "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." I will admit I was a bit arrogant thinking since I was raised in a family of contractors that I knew a lot about construction. In fact, I knew quite a bit about what Michael Gerber calls "Working In The Business But Not On The Business." At that point in the late 1970s, we decided to move to The Merry-Go-Round of a business with a Strategic Plan that could grow-up and provide us with a more predictable result. Books, Tapes, Seminars and Gurus For the next several years we added a combined total of over 4,000 books, cassette tapes, VHS videotapes, workbooks, and several hundred handouts from every How-To-Do-It guru we could find. And we were still not getting anywhere fast because the seminars are like energy drinks, they pump you up, and after a week or two in the real world, we were beaten down again. It was back to a roller coaster ride. Be, Do, Have In time we found several consultants and professionals some good, some bad, some nightmares and one, in particular, kept repeating: Be, Do, Have. Be the person, Do the work, Have the results. In life, we produce reasons or results and, reasons don't count. Having experienced success and failure several times, this message slowly sank into my head. We even hired a few consultants that were worthless because they had no construction experience and could only teach what they had learned in university or by hanging around hyped up seminar presenters selling Get-Rich-Quick-Schemes to rooms full of desperate people. We discovered that success came fast and easy when we engage the services of mentors that are skilled in construction because they were where we wanted to be. Here are some tips that could help you in deciding on a consultant: 1. Make sure they have hands-on experience in your profession. Preferably a Journeyman License, Certifications or some kind of external proof of their expertise. 2. Though the dogs (people who think you should tough it out and go it alone) may bark, the caravan (a long line of successful people with consultants on their team) moves on. 3. Choose wisely the six people you spend the most of your time with as leveling is always occurring. 4. Make sure your consulting sessions take place in a safe, nurturing environment. 5. Reflect on what you think, believe, or feel and if it's important to the topic of conversation. Questions To Ask Yourself: 1. Are you judged or criticized for anything you say or do? 2. Is your consultant brainstorming with you on management to management level about your issues and concerns? 3. Does your consultant suggest working with a Board of Advisors? 4. Do you feel you can do a brain dump in a safe, nurturing environment? 5. Are your specific problems and/or issues being addressed? Over to you Do you own and operate a small construction company? Have you ever wondered if having a consultant with construction expertise to call on and ask questions would help you? Are you concerned you cannot afford one? We would like the opportunity to work with you. We will spend a full hour with you at no charge so that both of us can determine if we are a good fit. Afterward, if there is mutual agreement to move forward, we will customize a program to fit your budget and your needs. As a part of our program, we will complete our analysis and present you a report regularly: You decide what to do with the information. You make changes or stay the same. You may want some show and tell (for visual people). You may decide to have us setup your QuickBooks KPI (Key Performance Indicator) Reports. You can also get a full in-depth analysis and review of the biggest issues you're having with your bookkeeping system and any other part of your contracting company with our Contractor Bookkeeping Review services. It is not about what we think, believe, or feel is necessary. The focus is always on you, what you think, what you believe or what you feel is necessary. We offer support, trust, competence, and complete understanding. In conclusion: You are a perfect being operating in an ideal place at the right time, and you are on a never-ending journey becoming all you were created to be. You will encounter many excellent guides, teachers, mentors, and consultants who will support you on your different paths, times, and phases along your quest. It is crucial you work with someone who has been where you are now because you deserve to be wealthy because you bring value to other people's lives.

043 The One with the WaterCycle Guy Episode 43: Show Notes Did you know we all have something in common? Well, I'm willing to bet that we have many things in common but the one I want to focus in on is we all start something new as someone new to starting that something. I know that is not very profound, but it's true. In my career I have been concerned about how someone would view my presentation or recommendation because I was: too new, too young, too... I absolutely love hearing from the Scaling UP! Nation about how this show has inspired people to: try something new, change up the status quo and ask why. When we know why something does what it does, we change our role from a task doing to a tool master. When we have command over the tools that we use, we become exceptional water treaters. If you have listened to Scaling UP! before, you know I believe it takes the gift of others investing in you that will lead you to a successful future. Today I interview someone who has really shape the water treatment industry. Most likely, he has had a hand in all of the products you use. If you use a controller, he has had a hand in creating some of the algorithms the controller uses. He has authored many papers and spoken at many venues. But here's the thing, when he started he was: too new, too young, too... After knowing all these accolades, you are ready to listen to him, right? My guest today is Rob Ferguson, of French Creek Software. Rob founded French Creek Software where he developed several programs. The one you are most likely familiar with is WaterCyle. WaterCycle is a modeling software that allows you to theoretically test your product in a simulated environment. Rob was new when he started as water treater. He was new when he started WaterCylce. If there is one thing I hope you get out of this episode is that we all start at the same place and we never get where we are going alone. Rob explains how many have helped him become what he is today. Join me as I interview Rob Ferguson. More about Rob Ferguson? Rob Ferguson began modeling corrosion, mineral scale solubility, scale formation, and scale and corrosion control in 1974 and continues to be a major contributor to the practical application of physical chemistry to identifying and solving industrial water treatment challenges. Major career accomplishments include: developing the first successful ultra-low dosage treatment approaches for scale control in high volume utility once through cooling systems (1974). designing and implementing the first real-time microprocessor controlled scale inhibitor controller (1984). making advanced physical chemistry and laboratory study results to water treatment professionals through software available in a user friendly, visual format. Developing a user friendly system for evaluating scale formation and control under extreme conditions. Rob wrote much of the software in use today for cooling water, reverse osmosis, and oil field chemistry. He co-founded French Creek Software in 1989 and has presented and published papers at AWT, NACE, the IWC, CTI, ACS, AWWA, AMTA and in many trade journals. His motto is "Physical Chemistry for Fun and Profit." He opened a scale and corrosion laboratory in 2014 to develop and refine inhibitor performance data and other work not being published by the major service companies and inhibitor synthesizers. Rob began advocating for change in the approach to evaluating and resolving lead and copper contamination of potable water in 1995 with the release of a municipal water modelling systems, though technology publications, and through editorials such as the UltraPure Water guest editorial “Paradigm Change Could Drive Pb and Cu Crisis Resolution.” Rob was educated at the US Naval Academy and University of Minnesota and received a BS in Biochemistry and Microbiology in 1971. Rob worked in research, marketing, and software development for several major water treatment service companies prior to cofounding French Creek Software in 1989, Rob received the Association of Water Technologies Ray Baum Water Technologist of the Year award in 2017 for technology contributions to the industry and the association. French Creek was proud to be honored as the AWT Supplier of the Year in 2011.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 0270, And It Will Be About Construction Contractors Need Help From Knowledgeable Advisors Everywhere there a Buzz Words and lots of people who say they are Experts in their field. Question is What the Expert knows is in a topic that is useful to you? Everyone wants to be paperless. It is not so much about saving a Tree as saving Time. How can I get to My Bookkeeper, My Accountant, My Tax Accountant the information they need to develop the reports? Most contractors tell me "Actually, I don’t want the reports I only want to know "scraps of information" so I can run My Business better. If there is an easy way to get the job done; I want to know it. There must be an App For That." There are several apps and we have one just for Construction Contractors. It does a lot but no app does everything. One of the first questions I am asked is do I have to keep my receipts? After all, I used my debit card, and it is all on the bank statement Bank Statements do not give all of the information needed to run your business. If you write a check, it will say When and How Much but not the “Who” and definitely not on WHY you wrote a check. Debit card transactions have Who, When and How Much; still no WHY. My answer is Yes – Please. Many suppliers will take a product back IF you have a receipt. A few with your credit card will be able to find your transaction and be able to credit the purchase back to the card. For everyone else; your receipt is the fastest way to document you actually made the purchase. Stores return policy is as generous as they can be. But not everyone can offer 100% refund for something that is obviously worn out, purchased from somewhere else or sometime long ago. We have all heard stories where dress clothes (with tags attached and hidden) are worn to a “fancy party” (New Year’s Eve’s) and next day returned to the store for a full refund. I don’t know of anyone personally who has done it but reading on the internet – many stores have changed return policies because of this type of customers (not clients). Kinda like being an “Unwelcome Pest” instead of a “Welcome Guest.” I was in a store who refused to accept a return from the customer in front of me. The clerk told the customer they had made Too Many Returns. We want to be the Welcomed Guest, be a good neighbor, friend, the benefit to our community as we provide “Goods and Services” to our friends and clients. Not everyone is a Good Client or Customer. Tax Accountants are someone every Contractor should have. Why, when Turbo Tax can do it all? Turbo Tax is in simple terms an “AI” programmed to fill in the blanks based on the information you give it. So as an AI, the software might be smarter than you and I; but remember that “The Computer” does not win whenever playing against “Chess Masters” and a “Real Person” has done the programming. Here are the Should Have, Ought To Have, Maybe, Because [fill in the blank] with as many as you can think of and here are some more. You have already “Over Handled” your documents; especially if you are doing all of your own bookkeeping. I can’t afford to “Hire It Out” Sometimes your budget is “Toast!” Are you spending time doing the right things? The old saying “Sell Your Way Out Of A Problem” is true, but be sure you have done the right job for the right client, and the right price can only be answered when the accounting system has the proper information. The answer is a knowledgeable person between the keyboard and chair touching the keys. Hint - There is a difference between Void and Delete. Quicken could work as an overgrown checkbook. What would it tell you? Wait, I took the easy step interview, synced to my bank; it has everything it needs! Does It? or does it have everything YOU think it needs to be based on what you know? If you are the Smarted Person in the room – Fantastic. Excited to meet someone who has read and understood everything on the internet. All information is “Free, Perfect, Now!” Still doesn’t mean it is useful information to anyone and everyone who reads it versus just tons of general data. We each have different opinions on “What Is Important.” Questions to ask your New or Existing Tax Accountant Explain the differences in Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, S-Corporation. Now, What is the Difference when it comes to Taxes Hint – Self Employment Tax Some Respected Attorneys do not understand the differences between a Tax Point of View. Should I have my spouse as part of the company? Paid or Unpaid? Maybe I don’t need to add them if something happens to me [she|he] gets everything. I want to hire other Family Members to work in my company. Should I have them as an employee, part of management or own a portion of the company? I want my friends to be part of the company; we have a great time on Friday night. We all agree that they would be an asset. (Does the part “We All Agree” include your spouse? Occasionally Spouses find being supportive becomes a “Full Time” unpaid position. Is there a tax benefit to hiring my Teenage or College Children Part-time? Your Tax Accountant’s role is to roll up your business life, personal life (including spouse, children, assets, home, retirement account, stock market accounts, odds and ends of side income) and file your business and personal income taxes. Some states do not have an Income Tax (Washington) but have numerous other taxes. Soda Tax, Sales tax, Vehicle tax, Property taxes that continue to increase and more. Have you ever played “Where’s Waldo” or walked through a “Corn Maze” to get in the spirit of Halloween? Being in business is challenging every day. There are no shortage demands on your time. Who is working for Who? What type of contractor do you want to be? General Contractor or Specialty Trade Contractor? Do you provide Design and Install or just Design or just Installation? Are you working directly with the Home Owner? Do you work as a Specialty Trade Contractor for a General Contractor? Are you being paid by the Owner or by the General Contractor”? Having employees can seem like You Are Working For Them Instead of Them Working For You (except you are paying in cash, loss of time, taxes, and other Cash and Non-Cash Benefits (which takes cash). Do you have W-2 employees? Are you paying them to watch you work (under the premise of teaching them)? Do you have Specialty Trade Contractors work for you? Are they Bonded, Insured, carry their own Worker’s Comp policy? Are you treating your employees as 1099 contractors so avoid collecting and paying taxes? Hint – Use a Labor Service or Payroll Service. State Labor Laws can be complicated It's All About Getting Paid You Know How To Do The Work Are You Getting Paid For It? Do you have a written contract or invoice that the Client signs? Do you set the payment schedule in your contracts? Do you receive Job Deposits on larger projects? Is the payment schedule set by Others? Have you given the owner of the property a “Notice To The Owner?” Followed by a “Notice Of Intent To Lien” if they decide you be doing “free work?” With a Specialty Contractor with a “Pay When Paid” clause? Are you working New Construction, Residential Remodels, Small Commercial Projects (TI’s)? They are each different. As a Construction Contractor, you understand the difference between the type of work you do. It is important to verify that your Tax Accountant has a clue about what you do. As a Construction Contractor, you have many expenses that an “Independent Traveling Sales Person” would not have. It is by exception that a Construction Contractor completes a project without having any Leftover Stuff. Outside Sales People tend to lease their vehicle and miles are usually freeway miles so taking a mileage deduction makes sense. The wear and tear on your vehicle are huge. Almost Always taking actual expenses is better. You haul stuff from the supplier to the job site. You create a mess in the process of remodeling a house. That mess needs to be recycled, reused or taken to the dump. Scraps of lumber, cardboard, packing are just more stuff that makes a tour of your truck, van or trailer. Even if you have an On-Site Dumpster – There is still “Stuff” to be dealt with. Hint - Hopefully you can return the “Extras” to the supplier. Many marketing firms will also offer to be your Business Coach. Again, this person needs to understand about your business. Numbers are great! Your Banker is your numbers best friend and understands the numbers on the Tax Return you receive from your Tax Accountant. Tax Accountant adds credibility that you did not do the job yourself. In other words, you are not making them up (or reducing them down). The same thing applies when Bank requests Homeowner to HIRE A LICENSED CONTRACTOR to do the project, and the Bank pay the Contractor direct. Why, because with a set of prints the Licensed Construction Contractor knows What To Do and How To Do It! Construction Contractors cringe when they see on the news any buildings that collapse when Building Codes with good workmanship it could be prevented. The first Question is: Has your Business Coach, Tax Accountant, or Banker ever worked with a Construction Contractor? If you are their First Construction Contractor Client; great as long as you know it! As a New, Seasoned, or Returning Contractor if you are being compared to that Espresso Stand down the street that is a big deal. Hint – You have Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and by exception Inventory.

All of us want to thrive in life. Without exception. But what it takes to truly do that is the question we seem to have the most difficult time answering. Dane s guest on this episode is the leader of an organization called, The Thrive Center for Human Development. Can you imagine what it must be like to spend your life studying what it takes for human beings to thrive? Dr. Ben Houltberg has made it his life s mission and in this conversation, you ll be the beneficiary of his years of research and as a result, discover some first steps toward meaning, purpose, and thriving in your own life. Don’t miss the opportunity. Thriving is not a state, it s a path Dr. Ben Houltberg says that none of us will ever reach a point in life where we can legitimately say, Now I m thriving. He says that because he believes thriving in life is a path – the journey itself, not a destination. As he and Dane talked about what it means to thrive and the specific ways we have to orient our thinking in order to increasingly live in that place, it became evident that it s an issue tied closely to worth and it s fueled by the right kind of relationships. If you want to thrive in life, you won t want to miss this conversation. If you want to thrive in life you need adversity The word thrive intimates things like peace, joy, and contentment. While those things are often true when a person feels they are thriving we shouldn t misunderstand by thinking there s no hardship or difficulty involved in thriving. Dr. Ben Houltberg says adversity is almost a requirement for thriving. It s what strengthens the thrive-muscle, so to speak, and sets us on the path toward the experience of living fully. Find out how Dr. Houltberg s work at the Thrive Center for Human Development has led him to that conclusion and how you can take steps toward a greater sense of thriving in your own life, on this episode. Are you driven by your purpose or are you drawn by it? In his seminal book, Start With Why, Simon Sinek says that leaders and companies able to thrive in the modern climate need to have a clear sense of purpose. It s what motivates those they lead in the right ways and builds a raving fan base for what they do. The idea is even truer when we take it to an individual level. Meaning and purpose are vital to our sense of health and thriving as persons. Dr. Ben Houltberg says that while purpose is important to thriving we also need to be careful that it s drawing us rather than driving us. That distinction alone can make a difference between thriving in what we do and doing it from a deeper, darker place of insecurity. You’ll want to understand that distinction better – and you can by taking the time to listen. Why it s vital to take stock of what s truly meaningful to you Toward the end of this conversation, Dane asked Dr. Ben Houltberg to give a word of advice to listeners who want to take steps toward a greater ability to thrive in life. He said it s vital to start by honestly taking stock of what s meaningful to you, what matters in your life. If you take the time to get past the pat answers and quick responses you ll begin to touch on the truly powerful things you want your life to be about, the things that motivate you and spark a sense of passion and purpose. And you ll be on the road toward thriving like never before. Don t miss this conversation. Outline of this great episode [0:22] Getting off the treadmill: my intro of Dr. Ben Houltberg [2:04] Why is there a center for human thriving and why should people care? [3:51] Human thriving and the connection to relationships [11:02] Knowing what drives you informs how you orient your life to thrive [15:19] Flow states and flow moments are critical in sustaining us in life [18:20] How a sense of purpose serves as a compass, a true north [26:10] First steps toward rich relationships and deeper purpose [32:07] Healthy habits infused with transcendent meaning enable thriving [34:54] A final encouragement: You are worthy. You have something to offer.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 0189 And It Will Be About Office Manager Becomes Overworked Contractor's Bookkeeper Who Cuts Corners You are a small contractor and needs someone to answer the phone. You hire someone for the office. Calls are coming in and the Admin Assistant has some free time between calls you want to make use of that famous Standby Time so you ask them to do a little more. Being nice; you now give them the new title of Office Manager. As the Office Manager; that person is in control of the bookkeeping, customer invoices, vendor payments and more. As the contractor, you are excited because you are handing off responsibility of the day to day activities. From your side; you have checked off the box called Office Manger DONE, phones DONE, bookkeeping DONE and material pickup and delivery person DONE. Everything is solved. Good now you can go back to work and start doing the work. This is the part you are good at and like to do. Are you expecting Too Much from your Office Manager? Does the Office Manager understand Bookkeeping or is just trying to keep the checkbook balanced? Now add employees; are you expecting the Office Manager to understand the payroll? How about the differences between Construction Accounting and Regular Accounting? Have you ever heard your Office Manager say: Don’t worry about it. I have everything under control. Great everything is working and you go back to work. Life is good and I am making money now. Surprise – Surprise Now it’s November. Did you remember to pay The Quarterly Payroll Taxes were due on Halloween. It’s another form of Trick or Treat. If they have been paid and you have money left over it is a treat. The Trick is if you forgot, or didn’t know about them – Do you have enough money to pay? Even the best of bookkeepers are not comfortable writing checks that they know will not clear the bank. Everything is going smoothly. Business is good and growing. More and more jobs are coming in. Office Manager is handling everything until you ask. How much money did I make on the “XYZ” Job? Then you discover that the accounting reports are missing details. Is the Problem the person sitting in the Chair (Office Manager | Bookkeeper | Delivery Person). Do they have enough time to do everything. What is the priority? Delivery of Material because it’s needed on the job RIGHT NOW - DROP Everything and go get “stuff” from the supplier and take it to the job. Is the Problem the receipts turned in and are not marked with the job name or never turned in at all? Is the Problem that the time cards are not real time cards for filled out with fiction and guess word days after the fact. Are the time cards holding up payroll, billing customers (time and material) generally unreadable and show up five minutes before the employees expects their paycheck. In other words – the Office Manager needs to STOP EVERYTHING to fix, chase down, find something or solve an issue FIRST before the next thing on their list can happen. List is always longer than time needed. Is the Problem that the phone rings in the middle of something else and the Office Manager can only do two things at once but has ten things to be completed before going home. Ever heard of the old fashion phrase “Just Give It A Lick and A Promise” In other words a quick wipe verses a deep clean edge to edge. Solution for an Overworked Bookkeeper is that something slips. Usually it begins with something that not critical but then it is. Usually the first to go is Job Costing. After all the Job Costing is impacting a report that the owner never looks at. Extra work for when the Office Manager is wearing the Bookkeeper hat. Just get the transaction into QuickBooks and get the bill paid. After all that’s what is important. Now is the slide into what I call the Office Manager | Bookkeeper is being in full control of the office. At this stage the Office Manager | Bookkeeper will settle into a routine on that works best for them. Office Manager is deciding what is the most important thing to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Contractor comes up for air and wants reports Unhappiness is when the Contractor comes up for air and asks questions, senses there is a problem but cannot put their finger on what the problem might be. In frustration the Contractor looks at QuickBooks and because he / she is not into the accounting really just intuitive knows something besides the bank balance is off but doesn’t know what is wrong. Next step is for the Contactor to call an outsider and ask questions. I suggest a review of QuickBooks file. After the review; I discuss issues with the Contractor about their QuickBooks file. Contractors want for their Office Manager | Bookkeeper to continue doing the books just make it easier for them to do their job. Contractors want for their Employees to be able to easily fill out their time card. Question – Is there a PROBLEM? Is it the same PROBLEM? Many Office Manager | Bookkeeper | Field Employees do not see the same problem or issues that the Contractor sees. Is the Problem fixable? Is the employee on the defensive? What exactly am I doing wrong? A favorite phrase of employees is “If I only had “XYZ” – I know what to do. If they had “XYZ” would they do something additional or something different? When will they do something additional or different? A classic statement from an employee. “I know How To Do that?” OK, If you know “How To Do It” then let’s address why it is not being done. (The excuses begin) Is the tasks not being done really important or not important at all. Who is it important for? Why is it important? Are you sure? Is it worth the cost to fix? As the Contractor – Owner only you make that decision. Otherwise, the Office Manager | Bookkeeper | or Other Employees are really in control and you are working for them. Is that why you are in business?

Wes Bertrand and I discuss facets of healing trauma and activating 7th pillar true-self motivation. This is the fourth part in our rebooted series based on Nathaniel Branden's book, Six Pillars of Self-Esteem. This extension to the original series focuses on Branden's concluding chapter and what he calls the "seventh pillar." We will be reviewing each of the six pillars; the previous discussions focused on the what and the why of those practices, and this time we turn our attention to the how. INTRO MONTAGE: The 1989 film Parenthood is a humorous but touching look across three generations of a family system. The film's protagonist (Gil, played by Steven Martin), despite not having the reparenting/self-integration vocabulary, is determined to learn from his father's mistakes and apply them to his relationship with his own children. Throughout the film, he expresses great stress over the prospect of failing as a father. Clips from Parenthood are interspersed with some of the advice of Dr. Daniel Siegel. DISCUSSION: - today's theme: reparenting - started with severe abuse cases, but we could all use it - Re-parenting is a process of giving yourself what you never got: love, nurturing, and protection. - self-teaching is an important parallel to this process - this practice aids with self-integration HOW TO DO IT: 1. Take Time In / Mindfulness Thanks to Dr. Dan Siegel we have two models for approaching this: http://www.drdansiegel.com/resources/wheel_of_awareness/ http://www.drdansiegel.com/resources/healthy_mind_platter/ BALANCE: somatosensory work, breathing, meditation, and mindfulness practices Trauma and Memory: Brain and Body in a Search for the Living Past - BOOK 2.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 0149 And It Will Be About Streamlining Your Contracting Company With Our Free Checklist You are an intelligent Contractor which means you know how to operate your construction company and the biggest barrier to your success is getting your employees to do what you want them to do, when you want them to do it, and do it the way you know works best. Contractors who are Process Dependent Vs. People Dependent always makes more money and enjoys more freedom and peace of mind over Construction Company owners who are in constant chaos making the same decisions over and over. The difference between Success and Failure is simple and easy. Change a few simple things in your thinking and what you will tolerate and you can change your construction company and make dramatic improvements in your cash flow, profitability and the amount of freedom and enjoyment you will get out of your life. Success - Is a few simple disciplines practiced every day! Failure - Is a few simple errors repeated every day! The first step to moving your construction company from a People-Dependent-Chaotic-Neurotic-Maddening-Disorganized-Money-Losing-Life-Sucking-Money-Pit to a Process-Dependent-Money-Machine is developing simple checklists and expanding them over the course of time.

Call Sharie 206-361-3950 sharie@fasteasyaccounting.com Do you own and operate a small construction company? Have you ever wondered if having a consultant with construction expertise to call on and ask questions would help you? Are you concerned you cannot afford one? When my partner, Sharie DeHart and I, were running construction and plumbing service and repair businesses beginning in the early 1970's until 2000 we felt we did not need to pay anybody to tell us what to do because we knew exactly what to do. After several very painful and extremely costly mistakes we found the adage "Experience Is The Best Teacher...And The Most Expensive" to be oh so true!We found ourselves, our family, employees and suppliers were all riding on our Roller Coaster of Surprises, some good, some bad. On occasion we would wake up screaming bloody murder only to discover it was the middle of the afternoon and we were not asleep! After a while we decided perhaps there was truth in the adage "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance". I will admit I was a bit arrogant thinking since I was raised in a family of contractors that I knew a lot about construction. In fact I knew quite a bit about what Michael Gerber calls "Working In The Business But Not On The Business" At that point in the late 1970's we decided to move to The Merry-Go-Round of a business with a Strategic Plan that could grow-up and provide us with a more predictable result Books, Tapes, Seminars and Guru's For the next several years we added a combined total of over 4,000 books, cassette tapes, VHS video tapes, workbooks, and several hundred handouts from every How-To-Do-It guru we could find.And we were still not getting anywhere fast because the seminars are like energy drinks, they pump you up and after a week or two in the real world we were beaten down again. It was a roller coaster again. Be, Do, Have In time we found several consultants and professionals some good, some bad, some nightmares and one in particular kept repeating Be, Do, Have. Be the person, Do the work, Have the results. In life we produce reasons or results and, reasons don’t count. Having experienced success and failure a number of times this message slowly sinked into my head. We discovered that success came fast and easy when we engage the services of mentors that are skilled in construction because they were where we wanted to be. We even hired a few consultants that were worthless because they had no construction experience and could only teach what they had learned in university or by hanging around hyped up seminar presenters selling Get-Rich-Quick-Schemes to rooms full of desperate people. Tips To Find The Right Contractor Profit And Growth Consultant: Make sure they have hands on experience in your profession. Preferably a Journeyman License, Certifications or some kind of external proof of their experience. Though the dogs (people who think you should tough it out and go it alone) may bark the caravan (long line of successful people with consultants on their team) moves on. Choose wisely the six people you spend the most of your time with as leveling is always occurring. Does your consulting sessions take place in a safe nurturing environment? Is what you think, believe or feel is important the topic of conversation? Are you judged or criticized for anything you say or do? Is your consultant brainstorming with you on a management to management level about your issues and concerns? Does your consultant suggest working with a Board of Advisors? Do you feel you can do a brain dump in a safe nurturing environment? Are your specific problems and/or issues being addressed? We Would Like To Work With You We will spend a full hour with you at no charge so that both of us can determine if we are a good fit. If there is mutual agreement to move forward we will customize a program to fit your budget and your needs. As a part of our program we will complete our analysis and present you a report on a regular basis:· You decide what to do with the information· You make changes or stay the same· You want to some show and tell, visual people· You may want RD to tour your facility or office· You may decide to have us setup 5x5x5 QuickBooks KPI Reports· It is not about what we think, believe or feels is important· The focus is always on you, what you think, believe or feel is important· We offer Trust / Competence / Understanding I trust this podcast helps you understand that outsourcing your contractors bookkeeping services to us is about more than just “doing the bookkeeping”; it is about taking holistic approach to your entire construction company and helping support you as a contractor and as a person.

See my podcast, The False Covering Movement. In this podcast-teaching I am going to discuss how we need to prepare ourselves for the following: New creative works: from God … and through us to others. What to watch for … and be aware of. Saddle up … we're on our way! ____________________________________________________ MASHIACH, METRICS AND MIRACLESEND TIME PRODUCTIVITY~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~ We are in the entrance to the last days! How about a little fire!? Do NOT lose your first love: that of witnessing and winning souls for Messiah Jesus. Also, BEWARE of the following: As the Holy spirit is being poured out upon all flesh, the enemy of all righteousness, Satan, will once again try to “control” the End Time prophetic and evangelistic movement by his agents: “people conquerors” in the Body of Messiah. Don't worry about “wild fire”―I would rather have a little “wild fire” than NO fire at all! Plus, persecution is coming to the REAL believers from other “Christians” and from the government. This is one reason WHY you need to start your own synagogue or church … or start a home or community Bible study. Go here for more help: How to Start a Synagogue or Church. To help prepare you for NEW creative works and to help you watch for―and be aware of―things to come, I am going to zero in on the following: Mashiach, Metrics and Miracles. MASHIACH The mashiach was descended from King David (Jeremiah 23:1-8). The mashiach is often referred to as "mashiach ben David" (mashiach, son of David). He will, of course, be well-versed in Jewish law, and observant of its commandments (Isaiah 11:2-5), because He is the Son of God. He will be the deliverer who will win battle of Armageddon for Israel when He returns from Heaven in the clouds. He will be a great judge, who makes righteous decisions (Jeremiah 33:15) during the 1,000 year Millennial rule on earth. But above all, He is the Son of God: who was born of a virgin by a miracle and gave His life for the sins of the world as both the Scriptures and the Ancient Rabbis testified. Where many Jewish scholars make a mistake is that they think the Mashiach will be a great political and military leader. This is what will deceive them in the End Times. Here is basically what most “religious” Jews believe concerning the Messiah. It has been said that in every generation, a person is born with the potential to be the mashiach. If the time is right for the messianic age within that person's lifetime, then that person will be the mashiach. But if that person dies before he completes the mission of the mashiach, then that person is not the mashiach. He will be well-versed in Jewish law, and observant of its commandments. He will be a charismatic leader, inspiring others to follow his example. He will be a great military leader. The above are the “marks” of the false Messiah: the anti-Christ. And, this is what will deceive many Jews at the same time the New Global Governance allows them to rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem. The Prophet Daniel tried to warn Israel ahead of time concerning this. (Tanakh: Daniel 9:27). This is also paralled in the Brit Chadashah in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 “But in connection with the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to meet him, we ask you, brothers, not to be easily shaken in your thinking or anxious because of a spirit or a spoken message or a letter supposedly from us claiming that the Day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come until after the Apostasy has come and the man who separates himself from Torah has been revealed, the one destined for doom. He will oppose himself to everything that people call a god or make an object of worship; he will put himself above them all, so that he will sit in the Temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God.” [Complete Jewish Bible] Another major “missing piece” in most religious Jews understanding of the End Times is their lack of resources concerning the specifics of End Time conflicts. Particularly their lack of comprehension concerning the difference in the Ezekiel 38-39 conflict and the Battle of Armageddon. These are two (2) separate events. This misunderstanding is mainly due to only consulting the Tanakh and NOT resourcing the events described in the Book of Revelation inthe Brit Chadashah (the New Testment). You can find out details by reading Map of the End Times. In addition, there will be another conflict described in Psalm 83 and Isaiah Chapter 11.Study more about this here. In adddition, Israel will also have a KEY ENEMY―a greater enemy than Iran or ISIS―with strategic architectural and spiritual plans against her: this will be her nemesis, Babylon the Bitch. My friend, if you do not know what's going on with Israel … you will NOT know what's going on with YOU. God has blessed me by His Spirit to have revelation of geopolitical events―both NOW and in the FUTURE―for God's People and as a “sign” to the world. Watch my tweets on Twiitter at www.twitter.com/princehandley. From time-to-time you will see them with the hashtag starting as follows: #PROPHECY. METRICS Yes, metrics are important in End Time ministry. You need to monitor and measure your effectiveness in ministry. True … not ALL the Holy Spirit does through you can be seen. Inner workings in the hearts and lives of people, answers to prayer that happen in far away places, prophetic decrees taking effect―being birthed―in nations and people groups and other “under the radar” operations of the Spirit may NOT be known to you now … or, possibly ever. However, some of what you are doing for the LORD may be measured. For example, I know that last month on one of my websites 5% of the hits were from Beijing, China. I also know that recently on one of my podcasts the downloads spiraled up so high that on one day alone the downloads were 14 times the monthly average. I investigated to find what caused that so we may use that information in the future for the LORD. Metrics are only as important as you make them. It's funny how a child will say, “I'm five and a half,” but you never hear a grown person saying, “I'm 52 and a half.” Be a good steward of the ministry God has assigned you. “Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and attend to your herds.” (Proverbs 27:23) Speaking of metrics, never underestimate the power of a Gospel tract you hand to someone … especially if you have just talked to them about Jesus. From just one tract, How to Receive God's Power, 122 people received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues (from the same piece of paper!!!). Learn how to setup your own print shop with this 387 page “How To Do It” manual: Christian Evangelism Printing. One of the people the LORD honored me to ordain into the ministry was Reverend Larry Beckmann. Larry kept a log of how many people God allowed him to pray with and who received Messiah Jesus as their Saviour for 32 years. During that time he personally prayed with 170,336 people to receive Christ. In one city alone (Atlanta, Georgia), 60,347 people prayed with him to receive Christ. And, in just a five year period, one married couple Larry trained in soul-winning, in Atlanta, prayed with an additional 8,000 people to receive Christ. Here is the soul-winning plan that Reverend Beckmann developed: God's Anointed Soul Winning Plan. MIRACLES Miracles are part of the normal New Testament ministry. If you are NOT experiencing MIRACLES, study How to Know God and Receive Miracles… AND …Receiving Miracles for the Impossible Work.And, do NOT forget the ministry of the Holy Angels whom God has assigned to work with you and to protect you.“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14) Do NOT be hesitant to enlist and commission the Holy Angels to help you―not only in your God assigned tasks―but in your personal life as well. One time I was in terrible pain for months in my upper right back. The pain hurt so badly that I cried lots of tears. I went to doctors, to specialists and to physical therapy. The LORD told me NOT to take some extreme medication prescribed for me. (I later researched it and found it was very dangerous.) Nothing helped. I even told two of the doctors, “The pain is so bad that I have asked God to either heal me or take me home to Heaven.” One night I was laying on the floor and before I went to sleep, I prayed and said to God, “Father, you can just send one of your Holy Angels and tell him to touch me.” That night, as I was sleeping, I was awakened by a LOUD “pop” and I felt something in my right upper back. I was instantly healed and had no more trouble after that. I don't care what other people say or think. I know God sent His Holy Angel and had him touch me in answer to my prayer! I have prayed before and asked God to send His Holy Angel and bring me money. Within hours, a knock was at my door and a person was there with hundreds of dollars for me. A Holy Angel appeared to my first-born daughter when she was four years old. Here is a “short read” book I have written that will really help you experience MIRACLES in your personal life as well as your ministry: Apostolic Ministry: Miracles Follow You (Volume 11 in the Spiritual Growth Series). Above all, remember this: “Condescend to men of low estate.” (Romans 12:16) I have listed three books below to help you with Mashiach, Metrics and Miracles.

There are basically six (6) types of Social Media: Social Networks (Facebook and Linkedin) Social News (Digg and Reddit) Blogs, Blog Comments & Forums (many types) Microblogging (Twitter) Media Sharing (YouTube and Flickr) Bookmarking Sites (Delicious and StumbleUpon)You can reach not only friends you know, or have known years ago, but people you interact with from nations and cultures around the world. You can even use language translators like IM Translator, Smartlink and others to communicate with people of other languages. Twitter is especially efficient in that you are limited to 140 characters and you can pack a lot if you link to a website in your message. You can link to sites you find helpful like UofE.org, PrinceHandley.com, The Healing Podcast or to specific pages on the sites: like Israel and the Middle East, healing, deliverance, etc. Prince Handley also uses Twitter for 24/7 continuous release of selected teachings and podcasts. By God's grace, Prince Handley posts over 100 teachings per day to over 100,000 followers. Check out: www.twitter.com/princehandley/ NEWSPAPER & MAGAZINE ADS DISPLAY ADS Larger ads (like store ads); may or may not use photos or illustrations. Get the attention of the reader. If you use artwork (photo or illustration), then make your picture fit your wording (copy). If you need help, the newspaper or magazine advertising department has people who will help you at no cost; or, pray and ask God to lead you to a Christian who is good in graphics or advertising. Use lots of white space in your ad; don’t crowd it. Make it easy to read. See example of "display ad below: (Copy) WIN A TRIP FOR THE FAMILY! (Photo) A family on the rail of a steamship, or boarding an airplane. (Text) "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, and your house." [Note: The scripture text is placed somewhere in the ad with the copy and the photo or artwork, but don’t "crowd" the ad.] CLASSIFIED ADS Small, inexpensive ads (no photos) used to advertise pets, employment, notices, houses for rent. The "Announcement" section is very good to use since it usually comes first. Example of classified ad below: (Copy) HERE’S YOUR CHANCE FOR A NEW START! The greatest Jew alive will be in [your city name] this week. You may call him ahead of time - He said to tell you, "Turn from your sins and ask me into your life. My name is Jesus Christ." NOTE: Use your imagination. If you have never been good in art, or if you have never been creative, do not let that stop you! Isaiah 42:8-9 and Isaiah 43:18-19 tell us that God can do a NEW work. Ask God for an anointing of creativity. Then ... START. Ask God for wisdom. [James 1:5] RADIO & TV SPOTS (ADS) & INTERNET ADVERTISING RADIO 60 second spots (1 minute). Run on non-Christian stations. Run at different times in the day to reach different audiences. For example: Early morning - people going to work Mid-Morning - people at home Noon-time - mixed audience Afternoon - school students Late afternoon - people going home from work in car or bus Evening - mixed audience SUGGESTIONS: Run a "cluster" of three spots in one 5 or 10 minute period. You can use a conversation between two people (but no more than two). You might want to use background music or sounds. TV Use 30 second spots. You don’t need as much time as you have the advantage of being able to SEE with SOUND. It is good to use people from different races and ethnic groups to show an example of Christ’s love and power! For example, a black person, a white person, a Jew, and an Arab. NOTE: Always use the CONTENT of the Word of God in every ad you make. Isaiah 55:11 tells us that God's Word will never return void ... it will prosper, and accomplish the purpose for which God sends it! INTERNET You can run ads on Google, Yahoo, and Email facilitators. Email them for specific rates and instructions. There are lots of good "How To Do It" books on the market covering with practical information (such as the "Idiot Guides," etc.). POSTERS, SIGNS, & STICKERS Can be many different sizes: 10 cm "mini-poster" to 1 meter "maxi-poster". Can be "peel-off" self-adhesive. Can be made in different languages. Can be "weather-proof"; use special weather-proof paper or coatings. (Can be used in rain, sun, or snow.) Can be used for indoor or outdoor. Can be large enough to be seen as people drive by. (Read Habakkuk 2:2) SUGGESTIONS: If used outdoor (one meter sign), make the name "JESUS" large enough to be seen 150 meters away, then the rest of the message smaller so it can be read when people are close. The same sign can be used for all the sizes; just enlarge or reduce the original. BILLBOARDS In some places, you can build your own billboards and put them up beside the road, highway, or freeway. In large cities, you may find large advertising companies who will give you free space for a period of time. The large size billboards which are rented usually are owned by advertising companies. SUGGESTION: Pray and ask God to lead you to someone who owns land by a roadside and who will let you put up a large sign free. You can reach thousands! DVD's, WEBCAMS, AND VIDEO CASTS It is easy ... and POWERFUL if done correctly ... to use social media like YouTube, Wikipedia, and FaceBook for video casts you produce. Go to these three media sources and view examples of what type of casts are being shown. Then, get your own ideas from the Holy Spirit. And ... don't forget to let people KNOW about your webcasts. Advertise! Promote! Get the word out! There are several inexpensive paperback books on the market to help you with this. Also, search online. You can make your own video presentations. WebCams are very inexpensive. Also, many of the newer laptop (notebook) computers have built in webcams. For creative content you will probably want to purchase a better unit, however. Go to different computer stores and ask them about the kind of equipment you will need. Many places will rent equipment. You might consider and pray about going to school (or taking an online computer course) in web production, cinematography, or other areas of video or webcam production. COUNT THE COST ... BELIEVE GOD’S PROMISES ... WORK FOR MESSIAH YESHUA (JESUS, THE ANOINTED ONE) Remember…God wants to reach people with His message more than you do! DVD and web cam recorders provide an excellent means of video presentation and most people have their own DVD players or SmartPhones; however at the present, in some areas of Third World countries, films are still the most easily seen by large crowds in the outdoors, and the least expensive. For work in larger third world cities, where the people have their own TV, DVD players, satellite receivers and computers (or can rent one), you may want to use DVD's, WebCams, or VodCasts (video casts) to evangelize or to teach. PODCASTS Podcasting is one of the most popular forms of media presentation with amazing growth and acceptance in countries all over the world. All you need is a computer and the know how. The know how can be learned from any of several books on the market. Do a search on the Internet, or at a library, for "podcasting." You can have a voice to the whole world for Christ. And ... if you are creative in the Spirit ... you will find an audience and friends in every corner of the globe! You need: 1. Content that is interesting; 2. Consistency in broadcasting (regular podcasts you produce); and 3. Uniqueness in presentation. POWER POINT OR MULTI-SCREEN PROJECTIONS You need the following equipment: WebCam ... or Video Camera … or Computer with software for presentations One DVD player, or computer, or High Definiton screen. (NOTE: If the viewing is to be outdoors, or for large audiences, then you will need advice on what type of screen to use. In some Third World areas, films or DVD's are still used more practically with electric generators.) By using three projectors you can show different pictures side-by-side, more action, and faster action. You can show someone finding Christ as their Savior, with a Scripture showing at the same time on the next screen, while a lot of color is "exploding" on the third screen: all of this while music is mixed with a recorded Gospel message. TRANSIT ADS Used on buses and taxis; and at airline terminals and subways. May be used inside or outside on buses. If used outside on buses, the ad is "eye-level" with the reader as the bus drives by them. The ad can be on the back, on the side, or on the front of the bus. If used inside the bus ("car-cards"), you can have "tear-off" mail cards attached so the reader can mail to you for literature. SUGGESTION: Transit ads can be directed to specific ethnic groups, by using proper pictures, artwork, or illustrations and the right messages, not only at airports, but on buses which travel to certain ethnic areas and cities. DRAMA: OUTDOORS OR INDOORS No expense involved. You don’t even need good clothes. Get a few people to paint their face, go to a busy place where there are lots of people, and put on your act… preach the Gospel with drama - outdoors or indoors - with voices (talking) or pantomime (silently, but with gestures). Great for marketplaces, malls, and wherever people gather. HOLOGRAPHY A new way to project a three-dimensional ("3D") image into a space without a screen. You may want to research this online or at a university library. SUGGESTION: It would be powerful to see an image of Elijah or an angel preaching to people! ROBOTRY Similar to holography only robots are used instead of projected images. In the last days, the Holy Bible tells us the anti-Christ (false-Messiah) and his false prophet will use an image [possibly a robot or holography]. Why shouldn't God's People, with the Spirit of God, use them to preach the Good News? AIRPLANES & BLIMPS Airplanes can pull a short Gospel message behind them. They can be rented. There are also planes which can cut out letters in smoke to make messages. Airplanes may be used to drop Gospel literature in certain areas. Blimps, airships, and dirigibles can also pull Gospel messages. And, lighted messages can be seen from computerized message centers placed underneath; in this way, long messages may be shown at night to millions in large cities. INTERNET / WEBSITES Using the Internet (by computer) you can reach people all over the world. You can reach kings, queens, national leaders, politicians, wealthy people, religious leaders, criminal and gang leaders … people from every religious, political, and social strata … in their own home! Ask God to lead you to someone who knows computers and can help you setup the site the way YOU want it. There are also several good text-editing programs on the market now which make it much easier to develop web-sites without a thorough knowledge of HTML or XML or RSS. Inquire at a computer software store, or search on-line. People can E-mail you instantly from all over the world asking for prayer, information, or counsel … or for contacts to other Christians. You can establish "links" on your site in cooperation with other Christian ministries so the person viewing your site can interact and contact another ministry directly from your site. WARNING: If you are going to have "links" on your site, make sure they are NOT to a person or ministry who would destroy the FAITH of the people to whom you are ministering. For example, if you’re teaching someone about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, or about the Healing Power of Christ, you wouldn’t want them to link to someone who has lack of knowledge in the Word of God and would tell them a lie "that God doesn’t heal" … or that miracles don’t happen today! SUGGESTION: Take advantage of E-mail if you are using the Internet. Not only for instant communication, but also to evangelize and teach! You can get E-mail lists (just like phone lists) and broadcast the Gospel to people right INSIDE their own houses and businesses. Pray and believe God to give you a computer! Study and do diligent research so that you may be a good steward of what God has given you: your brain and time! Then let the Holy Ghost anoint you!! CD-ROM’S & DVD'S CD-ROM’s and DVD's are an excellent medium to teach and preach Christ: thru music, sound, and video. Be as creative as you want! Produce actual testimonies or reenactments of true-life situations where God has done miracles in people’s lives … produce Bible-stories. Let people see Jesus as a REAL man (God in human flesh) in real life situations. DVD's can be used on computers, players, the internet. Ask God to lead you … then study, read, and learn all you can! Do your part … and the Holy Spirit will do His!!! COMIC BOOKS This is perhaps the most unused and at the same time … the MOST POWERFUL … medium available. Young people and old people alike like comic books in every country of the world! If you live in a big city, go to the annual comic book convention; you’ll see what a BIG market it is. Also, you’ll see how many cultists and demonized people are using this medium. Christians have MISSED THE BOAT! You can even do comic books in "Wordless" form where people can SEE the message through the art with NO words. Apostle Handley has published wordless books for years for children [and adults] with NO ART at all … just using colors to explain sin, the blood of Christ, Heaven, Hell, God, and the Holy Spirit. How much more effective can you be WITH ART! Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to someone who is gifted in art. Go to a printer and find out how to prepare the manuscripts for printing and binding. SUGGESTION: Make a COMIC BOOK with each of the following. How To Be WholeHow To Be HealedHow To Receive God's PowerHow To Prosper You could have ONE 28 or 32 page comic, with 7 or 8 pages covering each of the 4 booklets above. In other words, EACH of the four booklets above would be one section in the comic. There would be four sections inside the comic. Do them in English or whatever language you want at first with the artwork describing each of the phrases. You will have two (2) main printed areas on each artwork (caption) as follows: Section 1: How To Be Whole [8 pages / with 4 pictures on each page] Example: Title for the first picture - "God created the universe … because He had a plan." Dialogue for the first picture - "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) Suggestion: Decide what characters will be in the comic sections: God, man, Jesus, devil, etc. Then write out the dialogue and title for each picture (artwork) section. Finally, have someone DRAW the art to depict the title and dialogue (action). Note: You can show Jesus casting out demons, healing the sick in the section How To Be Healed. You can show people being baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues in the section How To Receive God’s Power. TESTIMONY: Twenty-two (22) people were baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues just from reading one of the printed copies of "How To Receive God’s Power" ... reading the SAME piece of paper! SUGGESTION: You might even be blessed to produce a "wordless" comic book that could be understood by people anywhere in the world. People could be saved, healed, filled with Spirit, and learn how to prosper! Think what effect that would have on world missions, raising up churches, and helping to usher in the return of Jesus Christ to the earth to set up His Kingdom! You will have MANY rewards! God will BLESS you abundantly!!!
