Dr. Jim Denison shares biblical insight and expert knowledge on the many questions swirling around the ongoing war in Israel: ●      What is a kibbutz, and why was one so brutally attacked by Hamas? ●      Is Hamas really a terror organization, or are they an oppressed group fighting for legitimate survival? ●      Does Hamas truly and rightfully represent the Palestinian people, or are they self appointed power mongers who refuse free elections and retain power by intimidation? ●      If a group is oppressed or attacked, are all means of retaliation legitimate? ●      Is all of history the story of one person oppressing another or one group or nation oppressing another? ●      Does God love Palestinians and Israelites?

We've been called.  We have to be brave, bold, and strong for our little humans that God so graciously gave us.  What an honor that was given to us by Him for a reason.  What a responsibility that often feels way too big…but let's remember that we were chosen for this by God…and we have to trust his judgement and his belief in us.  Despite what we have always heard…we CAN be a mother and a teacher.  Mothers ARE teachers.We've been called to pour into our kids who will be the future.  They are the next generation.  They are worth pouring into daily, and that can start right at home.  It's not easy…it's a huge responsibility…and it takes everything we have in us.  I want moms to confidently feel that they can rise up and teach their kids at home if they are unhappy with what's going on in schools today.  I know because I did that and experienced ALL of that…especially watching my students struggle, cry on assessment days, attempt to read and write with little confidence, only read when they had to, and miss out on those experiences that only childhood really provides.“Either we create a space where reading is something that is done for the joy of it, where the imagination is cultivated and allowed to wander and stretch and grow, or we deaden our children's natural love for the written word.” -Sarah Mackenzie“We literally school the love of reading right out of our kids, and then we worry because they aren't taken up with a voracious love of literature and a burning desire to enjoy reading for pleasure.”-Sarah MackenzieSo, this episode is really for the mama who has this decision on her heart or has already made the decision to homeschool, but is absolutely terrified of doing it “wrong.”  Let's stop worrying about messing up and doing it perfectly and more about offering a space of love, support, and meeting our kids right where they are.  About slowing down and being intentional about our time and our teaching.  Let's focus more on WHY we are choosing to teach at home and why we want to make meaningful connections with our kids.  Why we are choosing to show up for them them every single day.  Why we rearrange schedules with our spouses to co-parent and teach and make it work.  Why many still work full-time and homeschool…yes…that's possible!  Why we are aren't settling anymore for what's going on today, and we're taking it into our own hands.  They're our kids…and it's time.  So, where do you start?  1. I would highly suggest grabbing your copy of my free PDF “How to Homeschool Like a Pro”  right HERE2.  Grab both of Sarah Mackenzie's books Teaching from Rest and The Read-Aloud Family3.  Join my Whole Mamas Facebook group where I share all things motherhood AND homeschooling tips and resources. 4.  Grab your spot on the waitlist for our 2022 Homeschool Mentoring Program and Retreat"The true aim of education is to order a child's affections – to teach him to love what he ought and hate what he ought. Our greatest task, then, is to put living ideas in front of our children like a feast. We have been charged to cultivate the souls of our children, to nourish them in truth, goodness, and beauty, to raise them up in wisdom and eloquence. It is to those ends that we labor.” Support the show

All value is subjective. But often, when an exchange is to be made, a numerical value is required. It's a special kind of economic calculation, what Bharat Kanodia terms “a subjective opinion based on objective facts”. Bharat has built a career on valuations, from 2-founder garage start-ups to the Eiffel Tower. He shares his knowledge, experience, and insights with the Economics For Business podcast. Key Takeaways And Actionable Insights Valuations start with a “what?” and a “why?” What is the subject of the valuation? Is it a building but not the land it's sitting on? Is it a patent? Is it a monetized patent or just an approved patent? Is it the assets of a business or is the going business? All these definitions and classifications of what's being valued clearly make a big difference to the outcome. What is the purpose of making a valuation? It might be a step in buying a business. Or in selling a business. It may be a valuation of an asset for insurance purposes, or for estate tax estimation. The valuation may be a tool for raising capital, or an assessment following a capital raise. The same asset can have different valuations for different purposes. That's why it's important to start with the what and the why. The most challenging business valuation is for a start-up. Two founders working from a garage have a business idea and some code but no customers and no revenue. The business needs a valuation in order to raise capital. It makes no sense to value it on the basis of discounted future projected cash flows. They're imaginary. The business is going to be valued based on the story the founders tell, and a rule of thumb valuation that works backwards from the percentage of the business the founders are willing to give to a seed investor. Most 2-founder garage pre-revenue businesses are deemed worthy of a $1 million valuation, because an investor can be given 20% of the business for a $200,000 investment, which are reasonable heuristics for both parties. Bharat advises founders not to haggle too much over this valuation stage — if the business is successful, this initial financial structure is largely irrelevant for the founders. In subsequent post-revenue investment rounds, operations have more impact on valuation than future revenue projections. Even once there's revenue and a validated business model, projected future revenues are seldom the basis for valuation. There's usually a hockey stick projection, or a long list of unverifiable assumptions. It's more important to investors — and valuers — to examine operations, and specifically whether the business owners have a valid, detailed, and convincing plan to scale up. This kind of operations planning demands great rigor, both for purposes of implementation and for convincing investors. Often, it's the quality of storytelling that underpins the valuation. With a detailed operations plan in place, the selling business founder or proprietor can build a persuasive story about future growth and potential. Here, emotion plays a big part. Can the business owner communicate how intensely the need is felt by potential customers? Can he or she communicate the passion they feel to deliver a solution to those customers? And the deep emotional commitment to the years of hard work it will take to attain appropriately ambitious goals? The story, well-executed, validates the valuation. For businesses like CPA firms, medical practices, and construction, 2 major factors have an outsize influence on valuations. When an investor buys a mature service business, especially a local one, they are generally seeking hassle-free cash flow. They're not looking to buy problems to fix. Two factors stand out for these kinds of buyers. One is reliable recurring revenue from loyal customers. It must be revenues that are fully attributable to the service, and unlikely to be cut when there is a change of ownership. The second is automation or established smooth-running and self-maintaining operations mechanisms. Bharat's advice to sellers of these kinds of businesses is to automate everything you can, with reliable control software wherever possible. These kinds of service businesses may have high levels of reputation and trust based on surveys and qualitative data, but those intangibles must be backed up with the behavioral reliability of the customer base. In today's markets, followers are a highly valued asset. In many ways, recurring revenue is a metric to quantify followership. Ryan Reynolds has a followership. Nike has a followership. Tom Cruise has a followership. These followers are all monetizable as buyers of goods or services or movie tickets associated with these personalities and brands. Your personal brand has value if you have followers and if the followership can be monetized. Every asset can be assigned a valuation — even the State of Hawaii and the Brooklyn Bridge. Bharat has been called upon to give valuations of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Atlanta airport, and the state of Hawaii, among many other famous places or things. Sometimes, the valuation is for insurance purposes, sometimes for accounting. In all cases, there's a number (or a range). Once the what and the why are established, there is a mechanism for valuation that can be applied to any asset or stock or flow.

Even once there's revenue and a validated business model, projected future revenues are seldom the basis for valuation. There's usually a hockey stick projection, or a long list of unverifiable assumptions. It's more important to investors — and valuers — to examine operations, and specifically whether the business owners have a valid, detailed, and convincing plan to scale up. This kind of operations planning demands great rigor, both for purposes of implementation and for convincing investors. Often, it's the quality of storytelling that underpins the valuation. With a detailed operations plan in place, the selling business founder or proprietor can build a persuasive story about future growth and potential. Here, emotion plays a big part. Can the business owner communicate how intensely the need is felt by potential customers? Can he or she communicate the passion they feel to deliver a solution to those customers? And the deep emotional commitment to the years of hard work it will take to attain appropriately ambitious goals? The story, well-executed, validates the valuation. For businesses like CPA firms, medical practices, and construction, 2 major factors have an outsize influence on valuations. When an investor buys a mature service business, especially a local one, they are generally seeking hassle-free cash flow. They're not looking to buy problems to fix. Two factors stand out for these kinds of buyers. One is reliable recurring revenue from loyal customers. It must be revenues that are fully attributable to the service, and unlikely to be cut when there is a change of ownership. The second is automation or established smooth-running and self-maintaining operations mechanisms. Bharat's advice to sellers of these kinds of businesses is to automate everything you can, with reliable control software wherever possible. These kinds of service businesses may have high levels of reputation and trust based on surveys and qualitative data, but those intangibles must be backed up with the behavioral reliability of the customer base. In today's markets, followers are a highly valued asset. In many ways, recurring revenue is a metric to quantify followership. Ryan Reynolds has a followership. Nike has a followership. Tom Cruise has a followership. These followers are all monetizable as buyers of goods or services or movie tickets associated with these personalities and brands. Your personal brand has value if you have followers and if the followership can be monetized. Every asset can be assigned a valuation — even the State of Hawaii and the Brooklyn Bridge. Bharat has been called upon to give valuations of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Atlanta airport, and the state of Hawaii, among many other famous places or things. Sometimes, the valuation is for insurance purposes, sometimes for accounting. In all cases, there's a number (or a range). Once the what and the why are established, there is a mechanism for valuation that can be applied to any asset or stock or flow.

Click here for the free PDF "How to Fix Your Marriage (Without Telling Your Spouse)."Have you ever felt like you could have an argument with your spouse without them even being in the same room with you? We can often find ourselves doing a terrible dance of relationship conflict with our spouse. Take heart. That dance does not have to continue on. I believe one person alone can begin to transform their marriage. I created a PDF that I would like to give you for free. Click here: “5 Ways to Fix Your Marriage (Without Even Telling Your Spouse).” The first step in that process is this: change your response. Rather than you respond the way you do each time, change your dance move. Respond with kindness and love.The three benefits of changing your response are:1. It throws your spouse off their game. They are forced to come up with a new behavior.2. It brings you peace. When we don’t attack back like we always do, we can go to sleep knowing that we are stopping the cycle of injury, pain, defense, and more pain.3. Enjoy the show. As you do marriage differently, so will your spouse. It’s a natural progression. You can sit back and enjoy seeing the small, incremental improvements that take place.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 108: Inclusive Language for Prenatal Yoga with Shannon Crow   Description: How can we use inclusive language in a fertility, prenatal or postnatal yoga class so that our students feel heard, seen, accepted and welcome? This episode is a mini-training on how we as yoga teachers can make our classes more accessible and inviting through the words that we use.   Inclusive language is not something a lot of us think about or consider when we are teaching yoga. However, it is an important part of creating welcoming spaces where our students feel accepted and safe. This can be particularly complicated in a prenatal, postnatal, fertility, or baby & me yoga class.   On this episode, Shannon shares more about the different aspects to consider when it comes to inclusive language. Starting with your core values and beliefs, to your promotion and marketing materials (yes, even the images!), to the language you use during the class - Shannon dives headfirst into the kinds of inclusive language you can use in your classes, with tips, examples and templates for you to tap into.   Whether you're trying to be more mindful of the language that you use to create a safe space for your students, or you're wondering how to keep up with the times and include different students in their birth journey, this episode will give you plenty to think about.   Key Takeaways: [3:57] Shannon almost backed away from doing this episode - she shares why it was so difficult for her. [5:15] This episode is all about inclusive language. [5:47] Inclusive language begins with your core beliefs and values. Shannon has an exercise - the "I Believe List" - for you to try out. [9:29] Your core values and beliefs get communicated through all your promotional and marketing materials, not just through language but through your images as well. [11:08] Getting to know your students helps you use appropriate and inclusive language. Shannon recommends a waiver form and suggests some of the topics to ask about to better understand your students. [14:51] The next part of using inclusive language for prenatal yoga ties in with the "Welcome and What to Expect" portion of the class. Shannon shares an example that she might use to welcome students in a prenatal yoga class. [22:15] In class with your students, what is the inclusive language that you can use? [22:47] The first two categories of inclusive language have to do with acknowledging and including baby, and on the flip side, acknowledging self and space for the pregnant student. Shannon has some examples of how you might cue this in your class. [25:39] In your prenatal yoga class, choose empowering and encouraging language. [26:55] It's important for us as yoga teachers to learn the medical language, and then to choose what you don't want to use. [28:14] Get comfortable talking about pelvic anatomy and different conditions that the prenatal yoga student may have. [28:48] Part of inclusive language in a prenatal yoga class is using gender-neutral language. [34:20] Another important part of inclusive prenatal yoga classes is being inclusive of all family dynamics, beliefs and choices. [35:35] Shannon touches on the topic of postnatal and parenthood inclusive language. [38:38] Birth circles are a time for new parents to share their birth story, with no judgment. [39:53] Shannon leaves us with some final thoughts about this topic.   Links: MamaNurture Prenatal Yoga School Just Breathe Yoga, Bermuda Inclusive Language for Prenatal Yoga 4-page printable PDF How to Find Royalty-Free Yoga Images Canva Yoga Student Waiver Forms The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast Episode 092: Accessible Yoga Begins with Language with Elliot Hodge, Chantel Ehler and Katie Juelson The Genderbread Person Spike in demand for treatment of transgender teens, CBC News Article 9 Reasons Why I Call It Chestfeeding (And You Should, Too), by Steph Montgomery Yoga Show Gathering sponsored by Schedulicity The Yoga Conference and Show, Toronto March 2019 Mama Nurture Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Yoga for Pelvic Health Teacher Training, November 2019   Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity   Quotes from this episode:   "Inclusive language starts before you are standing in front of a room full of yoga students. I believe it begins with your core beliefs or values."   "Be gentle with yourself as we go through this inclusive language and just know that we're all learning."   "We get to make a choice around what language we use."   "As I'm talking about this with you today, if you feel some resistance come up, figure out where is that coming from."   "I want to keep up with the times on this one, so that my yoga students don't feel excluded or discriminated against."   "The more we actually know someone's story, the less we're just reacting to what we're used to, to our "normal" in society."   "We don't have to have the same choices, we just need to stay neutral on this, as the person who's holding space."   "What is the intention of the inclusive language?"   "If I can make someone feel welcome, heard, seen, accepted in my yoga class, it is totally worth it."

Many of us have an undercurrent of self-doubt running inside. Perhaps it got put in place from a lifetime of others around you doubting you, doubting themselves, or even doubting others. Perhaps it came from a series of life experiences where you thought you knew what you were doing, but then... turns out you didn't.     No matter where it came from, self-doubt is likely to be showing up somewhere in your business. Here is how it shows up in my clients' businesses: Paralyzed. Knowing what needs to be done, but not doing it. Just getting the basics done, but not reaching up for the next level of growth.  Undercharging. Most of my clients are undercharging by significant amounts. Not just $5/hr. Often by 10-50% under what they could be charging, and what the market around them is charging. (I'm not advocating for price-gauging or ripping people off. I'm advocating for you charging what the value of your services is worth to people.) (2b.) Fear of raising rates. "What if people hate me? Will I lose clients? Will they be mad? Are you sure I can do this?" All those questions lead to the fear, that keeps rates stuck where they are.  Trying to do too much. As in, if you can get everything done, and make it all happen, and get your ducks in a row and poop in a scoop, that will somehow prove that you are actually ok. It looks like trying to be super-hero-amaz-a-mom, or any other cape that gets donned.  Stuck in indecision. Can't decide, can't decide, can't decide... do nothing.  Not trusting yourself... that you can handle whatever shows up. See #5, and #1 - they are interconnected. Excellent Game-Face. To cover up faltering self-esteem. Which means you hide out, limit yourself, and don't put yourself out there... so the very people who need you cannot find you or your services.    You can address your self-doubt, and loosen its grip.

Sign up for a newsletter? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Our best prospects - our website visitors - are getting away, and if we ignore the fact that donors between the age of 40 and 59 give online more than any other age group, we’re leaving a lot of money on the table. If we want people to give, we need to go first, and the easiest way to do that is with a digital giveaway that solves a problem *they* perceive… in exchange for an email address. This is common practice in the marketing space, but in the freedom movement, not so much.
