In a world marked by division, isolation, and loneliness, we are a people in desperate need of radical love and connection in the ordinary parts of our lives and world. Join us at Midtown for our new teaching series entitled Won't You Be My Neighbor?: Radically Ordinary Hospitality, as we go on a spiritual journey of exploration, mining the riches of Jesus' life and teaching to explore the radical practice of neighboring and examining the ways that this ancient and timeless practice can get us caught up in the present work of the Kingdom of God in our own time. Together we'll challenge the prevalent culture of division by emphasizing the importance of building authentic relationships across societal boundaries, provide practical guidance on fostering a sense of community in our homes and world, examine how to break down walls of hostility that isolate and divide, and ultimately combat the epidemic of loneliness through intentional acts of kindness and inclusion, that all people might come to a knowledge of their identities as beloved children of God and might experience His love and grace in their own lives. Listen as Gayle Parker explores Jesus' story of the Kingdom dinner in Luke 14, and how it teaches us to ask three important questions: -What's Your Excuse? -What's Your Motivation? -Will You Persist?

Patience, however, leads to greater fulfillment in life and a better return in the markets too.  Unfortunately, one of the hindrances to patience is risk taking.  For some, there is a thrill associated with putting a lot of money on the line…again and again.  It can become an addiction, if left unchecked. When I was younger, I did all kinds of crazy stuff, even in my trading.  I was absolutely addicted to the thrill of taking the big risk.  In that state, patience doesn't even exist.  PerseveranceMy goal as a coach and mentor is to get people from beginner to successful, in as little time as possible.  My team and I are working hard to solve that problem by helping others avoid the things that tripped us up in our early trading journeys.  Persevering through difficult times will help you learn valuable lessons and will grow your patience.      Resources & People MentionedSend questions, comments, and podcast ideas to: Business@TradingStrategyGuides.comStart with Why:  How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action by Simon SinekConnect With Casey StubbsWebsite:      https://caseystubbs.comYouTube:    https://www.youtube.com/TradingStrategyGuidesYouTube:     https://www.youtube.com/caseystubbsTwitter:       https://www.twitter.com/caseystubbsFacebook:   https://www.facebook.com/TradingStrategyGuidesLinkedIn:     https://linkedin.com/in/caseystubbs   Subscribe to How To Trade ItSupport the show

WOOOOHOOOO - it's our 50th episode folks!!!This episode links in with last week's episode "Your Space and Your Motivation".Decision fatigue (also known as choice overload) is the diversion of your finite mental resources to excessive or non-essential problem solving. These are the things that push into your mental (and physical) space that force you to weight up options for reallocating your time. You might recognise them by the nagging feeling that you should be doing something else, or be somewhere else! Spreading your mental energy in this way affects how well you do stuff! Stanford Profession Clifford Nass even went as far as to call multi-taskers “suckers for irrelevancy”. His study tried many ways to identify what mulit-taskers did well and came up with.. well, nothing! Listen to "Stop Mulit-Tasking your Health and Fitness" Why is this important to your health and fitness? Once your mental energy is depleted you become reluctant to engage in the thinking required to weigh up options and trade-offs. Then you begin to rely on WILLPOWER.Not only that but you start to “hoard” your mental energy as your self control is used up. This means that you will start to take the path of least resistance which often means no decision is made – this looks a lot like procrastination!So, what can we do about it?Follow routinesDecrease your optionsSet a time limit Make important decisions early in the dayDon't rehash decisions Don't make a decision when you are tired or hungry Read books not screensMake notes and lists!“I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now”You're making on average 36,000 decisions a day and each one has an effect on your willpower, your procrastination, your ability to make the next decisions.  Create good habits to free up thinking space and if you find yourself slipping into procrastination consider if this is simply an ability to choose to between two (or more) options. In that case Count Backwards from 5, this will reengage your prefrontal cortex and commit you to action!Read the full blog post over on our website.

Hello and welcome to Lechem Panim. If you have been following our study of the book of Acts, you will know that for the past several weeks we have been taking a look at chapter 4, in which Peter and John find and heal a crippled beggar outside of the temple gate. And seeing the crowds that gathered around them as a result of that miracle, they use it as a launching point to tell them about Jesus, in whose name the miracle was performed. And they're proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. Now the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees don't appreciate that; because remember the Sadducees rejected the concept of a resurrection and an afterlife); and so they seize Peter and John, hold them in custody until the following day, and then make them stand before the Jewish religious court known as the Sanhedrin, the members of whom were supposed to be the keepers of truth in the land. And yet here we find them ignoring the truth; being unwilling to follow where the evidence pointed because of what it would mean for their own personal worldview. And we see in the text that they are not even willing to deal with the evidence. They choose to ignore it. And they resolve amongst themselves to try to silence Peter and John. So they threaten them and order them to no longer preach or teach in the name of Jesus. Satan's Strategy— And you know, that is what Satan always does; he seeks to stifle the Gospel by getting Christians to remain silent. And sadly, this often works. Christians have often allowed themselves to become the “silent witnesses” of the Church, even in a day and age of unparalleled freedom (at least here in the United States). And I just wonder “Why is that?” Why are we so reluctant and timid when it comes to sharing the Gospel? Penn Jillette's Encounter With A Christian— Recently I re-watched a video of famous magician Penn Jillette as he shared about his encounter with a man who sought to give him a Gideon Bible and to share with Him the good news of the Gospel of Christ. And Penn of course is a stout atheist. But in this video he shared about his encounter with this Christian and what an impact this man had on him in the few moments he had contact with him. And he said this. “…I don't respect people who don't proselytize. I don't respect that at all. If you believe that there's a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life or whatever and you think that “well it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward.” And atheists who think that people shouldn't proselytize; just leave me alone; just keep your religion to yourself. How much do you have to hate someone to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that. I mean if I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was coming at you and you didn't believe it; that truck was bearing down on you; there's a certain point where I tackle you; and this is more important than that….This guy was a really good guy. He was polite, and honest, and sane; and he cared enough about me to proselytize and give me a bible…”. Albert Camus— I love what [the existential philosopher Albert Camus said, “What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear … in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could arise in the heart of the simplest man.” They Cared Enough— Part of the reason Peter and John were unwilling to comply was because they cared enough about the people they were ministering to to take a stand. Why? Souls were at stake. And so they chose to openly defy the Sanhedrin. It says in… Acts 4:19-20 (ESV)— 19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Commanded to Proclaim— Now one of the key prerequisites to Peter and John openly choosing to disobey these authorities was that they had a clear inarguable command from Jesus Himself to proclaim the Gospel. It says in… Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)— 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Standing on The Word— And similarly, if we are going to take a stand, we need to do so being sure that we are following the clear directive of the Word of God. This is especially important when we are challenging the authority of our government. We need to be sure that we are standing not on the basis of our own perspective or our own righteous indignation, but on the clear teaching of the Word of God. And I say this because there are many groups today that seek to oppose and defy government. But they do so on the basis of what they think is right or wrong (or merely on what is popular at the time) rather than on the basis of what the Word of God says. How to Stand— Now while at times it is important and necessary for Christians to practice "civil disobedience", we need also to understand how to do so while still living out the teaching and principles of scripture. Peter and John were obviously not the first ones to take a stand for what they knew was right. Think of the Jewish midwives in Exodus 1 who refused to follow the command of Pharaoh to (when delivering the Hebrew babies and if they see that the baby is a boy, to) kill it because of the (what was perceived to be) the overpopulation of the Jews. Or think about Moses' parents who hid their child against the edict of the king (Hebrews 11:23). Or you might think of Daniel, who resolved not to eat the king's food in Daniel 1, or later in chapter 6 when he refuses to cease praying to his God and pray only to the king. Daniel's three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah (also known as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) also took a stand and refused to pray to the statue that Nebuchadnezzar had made of himself and commanded that all should worship (Daniel 3). Now on the surface their protesting might look similar to other modern protests. But when we look closely, we see that each of these biblical characters were operating on a specific set of principles. The midwives who refused to murder the Hebrew babies did so out of a recognition that to do so would go against God Himself. That is what it means when it says in Exodus 1:17 (and please note carefully how it opens; it says)... Exodus 1:17 (ESV)— 17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. Fearing God— You see, they feared God, which meant they knew where He stood on the issue of the sanctity of human life and therefore chose to act in alignment with His will rather than Pharaoh's. Moses' parent's no doubt refused for similar reasons. Daniel refused to eat the king's food for reasons that are highly debated; we don't know all the reasons. Some have suggested that it was because the food was not kosher; some have suggested that it was food that had been offered to idols; others say that it merely represented Nebuchadnezzar's overall attempt to get these young men to acknowledge that he was the center of their lives; replacing their former God. Or it may have been a combination of those three. But regardless, Daniel knew where God stood on the issue and therefore he knew both where he stood and what he needed to do (or not do). And later Daniel couldn't worship the king and Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah would not fall down and worship the statue of Nebuchadnezzar because they knew… Exodus 20:2-3 (ESV)— 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 34:14 (ESV)— 14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), Now in a similar way Peter and John knew they could not obey the command given them to not speak of Jesus and the resurrection because of how it went against what Christ had so clearly commanded them to do. And so (at least in this instance) it would have been wrong for them to obey. An Integral Conviction— But note something else about each of these examples of conscientious objectors given to us in the Old Testament. Not only were all of them obeying the clear directives of God given to them in scripture, but they also protested out of a conviction that touched every area of their lives rather than just manifesting itself when it came to that particular issue. Does that make sense? Unrighteous Protest— For example, take the man who has no qualm about cheating on his taxes, cheating on exams, driving while drunk, or beating his wife but who (for whatever reason) is suddenly moved to take a stand against police brutality. Now there may be a place for that kind of protest; and there is a right way to do that, but you see there is a lack of integrity in the whole of that person's life that gives credibility to that particular area in which he is choosing to take his stand. And sadly we often see a lack of integrity in much of the mob violence taking place today. Somebody who loots and burns is obviously NOT demonstrating the righteousness of their cause. No, it is the righteous people who seem to command the most attention when they protest because people recognize in them an integrated conviction. Love-Centered Conviction— The Biblical characters we mentioned were all people of integrity whose convictions touched every area of their lives, not just what they happened to be protesting about in that moment. And if you look closely, you will note also that each of them (though they were defying the law) were also at the same time maintaining an attitude of both respect and courtesy. Daniel took special measures to make sure that the chief of the eunuchs did not get into trouble because of his refusal to eat the king's food. Similarly here Peter and John used their arrest as an opportunity to tell the Sanhedrin the good news of the Gospel of Christ. And really all the apostles and Christians in and throughout the book of Acts used their arrests as an opportunity to bless and witness. And so we learn from this that it is important for us as Christians to (when we must disobey) to at the same time show respect and love for those persecuting us (see Rom. 13; Titus 3:1–2; 1 Peter 2:13–25). And this obviously is in keeping with the pattern of Christ, whom 1 Peter 2:13-25 calls us to imitate. Christ also protested against injustice, but He always did so with a spirit of self-sacrifice and with a central motivation that people might come to know God and experience the joy and love that comes through a right relationship with God, made possible through the shedding of His own blood. What's Your Motivation?— And so we must always (when we choose to take a stand) ask ourselves what our motivation is. Are we clearly standing on the Word of God? Does our protest flow from a conviction that touches every area of our lives? And does that protest flow from a spirit of love and self-sacrifice? Answer those questions truthfully and you will know if, when, and how to take a stand. Let us (like Peter and John) be willing to take a stand for Christ and His Word. Let's do so. Amen.

This week on the show, we're exploring the interrelated themes of grit and resilience -- both massively resonant and relevant issues in the era of Covid and BLM. Today, my guest is Angela Duckworth. She's a psychologist who was deemed a “genius” by the MacArthur Foundation, and she is perhaps best known for popularizing the term “grit,” which she defines as “a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal.” She's written a bestselling book called Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, and has a new podcast called “No Stupid Questions.” In this episode, we talk about the secrets of gritty people, how to cultivate grit when it seems like the world is falling apart, and the possible downsides of grit. She's quite candid about a number of sensitive issues, including the recent passing of her dad, and the sharp criticisms her work on grit has received in light of America's racial reckoning.

My name is Kyle Gray and today on the show we have Caleb Guilliams. Caleb is an author, as a speaker, and the Founder of Better Wealth Solutions and he is changing the game of wealth management for many different entrepreneurs. He has a really unique story because he is much younger than your average financial advisor and as such has many different disadvantages and some unique advantages with his age and his position that he's going to share with us, which is going to be really, really valuable information for anybody who is new to entrepreneurship, maybe is younger and wants to break into entrepreneurship.   Kyle Gray: We're also going to learn a lot about investing, not just in terms of where you can invest in a market to get a rate of return, but how can you invest in yourself, in your business? How can you overcome big challenges? Where is the best places to be spending your time, your energy, and your money? He's got a lot of incredible insights that I think are going to be valuable for you today, so without any further ado, let's turn it over to Caleb.   Kyle Gray: Caleb Guilliams, welcome to The Story Engine Podcast.   Caleb Guilliams: Oh my goodness, dude, thank you so much for having me on your show. It's such a pleasure.   Kyle Gray: Caleb, you have a fascinating story and I'm really excited to get into many different aspects of it, but I want to introduce you properly by asking you the same question I ask all of my guests. Can you tell me about a moment or a time in your life that has really defined who you are and how you show up in the world? How you make an impact in the world today?   Caleb Guilliams: That's such a great question, and really I'll take you back to 12 years old at Riverside Bible Camp, Central Wisconsin. I'm 12 years old, I'm dyslexic, so I'm not a very competent reader and super short for my age, but I have the kind of personality where people like to be around me anyways. We have the last night. Everyone gets together and we have talent shows and I at 12 years old have a small little role because I'm kind of nervous on stage and so I have two lines that I can memorize, but Kyle, I wrote them down just in case I forgot because I could actually get away with reading them.   Caleb Guilliams: I remember that night, getting up there and totally forgetting my lines and then going to read and sounding out every single word in front of the whole group of people, and while no one probably remembers that but me, I remember being totally defeated. Going to my Mom the next day just frustrated at my reading, about my height, and just kind of at the end of my rope at 12 years old. My Mom took me under her wing and said, "Caleb, you can't do anything about your height, so learn to laugh about it. There's genuinely nothing that you can do, but your reading, you can control that. You can do something about that."   Caleb Guilliams: Then, that really got me in the mindset of the things that I can't control, don't worry about, but there's so many things in our life that we can control, the things that we can control, like go all in. I go back to that and I'm so grateful for my Mom and how much she believed in me and how much she encouraged me and I'm doing what I'm doing what I'm doing now because of that mindset of like we can control a lot of things and why don't we go all in in that?   Kyle Gray: Well, and I'd add to that your 12-year-old self, if you could go back into the past and tell them what you'd be up to now, you would have blown your own mind. Can you tell us a little bit about how this lesson has shaped you? What are you using it today? How are you impacting the world? What does the world look like for you now?   Caleb Guilliams: Thanks for asking that. One of the my Dads... one of my Dads, my one and only Dad, what he taught me was to be proactive. My Dad is in the science industry and he really taught me to be proactive and I'll say that and that idea of taking control of the things that I can control really shaped who I am to this day because what happened was I went on from Riverside Bible Camp to go gut chickens, and my first job was working at a chicken farm. That got me into like the whole money game and we could probably talk about an hour's worth of stories just there. Then, I got a job at a bank at the age of 17 and I worked there for four and a half years. At that time, I did everything I could to figure out different ways to make myself more valuable, and I ended up taking over the investment department at the age of 19 years old.   Caleb Guilliams: That really threw me into some crazy opportunities, and again, it went back to proactiveness. I'm going to do the very best thing. I have a mission that hangs on my wall that states, "To help people see and reach their highest potential." How can I truly help people? I just became fascinated with how money works and how people viewed their lives and how people just view themselves, and that's what got me on this obsessive like road trip, roadmap kind of deal of like, how do I learn from the best people? Garrett's been on your podcast, right?   Kyle Gray: Yes.   Caleb Guilliams: He's one of the guys that I admire so greatly and look up to. How do I learn from people like that and truly help people live out their highest potential? Use money as a tool and that two-and-a-half-year journey didn't happen overnight, but it was because I started taking control, was proactive. I'm so grateful that my two parents taught me that, and now at 23 years old, I run a company called Better Wealth Solutions and we help people all around the country take back control of their money and we do that through education and implementation. If you would have told me at 12 years old that I'd be talking to you right now, doing what I'm doing, I wouldn't believe you at all.   Kyle Gray: That's powerful stuff, and just in case anybody listening, the Garrett we are talking about is Garret Gunderson, and we've got a video interview with him,      but really brilliant wealth advisor. You've experienced some interesting challenges so far. Now, when I was 22 years old, I got a job at the University of Utah working as a study abroad advisor, and it was really, really challenging. As a 22-year-old looking like a college student to deal with... I had maybe a dozen and a half of professors of various ages and statutes and egos that I had to deal with and draw boundaries with and say, "Hey, if you're going to go to Spain, you got to do these things. If you're going to go to Africa, you got to talk to me." I had to own up to that to the same people that a year earlier I was taking classes from.   Kyle Gray: It's a big challenge to be able to stand in your power at a relatively younger age, and I think especially in finance where this is a market that's very conservative, very slow to change. As a result, this is typically an industry that is dominated by older men. How do you navigate these challenges of staying in your power in an industry when they expect to see a financial advisor they see probably somebody who looks different than you?   Caleb Guilliams: This will mean a lot more for those of you watching us doing this interview because I look like I'm 15 years old, and if you could imagine, I call it The 10 Minutes of Horror when I first took over the bank's investment department at 19. People coming in and realizing that I was going to be the one helping them with money, I think they were having an internal panic attack. It's always been something that I've had to kind of work around, and I'm so grateful for that, man, because what it's allowed me to do is it's allowed me to have to be the best in the industry of what we're doing.   Caleb Guilliams: I've learned from experts around the country and they are like the best at what they do and I've learned from them, number one, because of my age. I was able to get in and download their secrets kind of deal, but then the second thing is what I had to learn when I was in front of clients is, "Listen, I want to help you get the results you want to get and I want to understand, number one, what result looks like for you and what does financial success look like for you. If I as an individual can help you get the results that you're looking for, that's financial success." That's success in our book.   Caleb Guilliams: Even at 19, 20 years old, I had people in my office. I'm going to the white board and I'm drawing Simon Sinek's Start With Why Idea. Like, "Listen, I could talk about products and if we do that we're going to go down some bad routes because I don't know everything." I didn't tell them that, but I was like, "Products are not the most important thing. Even how you become wealthy is not very important until we understand your why." One thing that I'm pretty good at and I'm continuing to hone is like when people come and work with us, they feel taken care of and that we really get down to why this matters to them, and then I call it The 10 Minutes of Horror because when people start working with us, they get to a point where they're like, "Okay, you're understanding where I'm coming from and now you're actually pretty competent, too."   Caleb Guilliams: People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care, and as clichéd as that sounds, we really do live that. Now, I'm 23 young, but I wrote a book, I have a course out there. I speak around the country. I have seven team members and we're growing, and so right now we have enough social proof. We have enough people that are endorsing us. We have some really cool opportunities and business partners that it's like that's been less of an issue because people are going us because they've read my book, because they have seen me on YouTube or heard me speak. Early on, when I had no credibility, it was tough and I had to go back to people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. You actually have to know your stuff on the back end. That makes sense.   Kyle Gray: That makes so much sense, and that's something really useful and really empowering to anybody just getting started in any kind of career or new endeavor. One of the things that really caught my attention, you just briefly mentioned this before you got into this, but you were able to get mentors and experts and download all of their secrets. Can you tell me a little bit about this? What did that look like? What does that mean?   Caleb Guilliams: I've been interviewed a lot and you are the first person that's ever asked me this, and I will say I credit what I'm about to share with you the reason why I have success right now. I read Think and Grow Rich and I was reading also Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad, and it became very evident to me that money follows value. It also became very evident to me at 19 years old that I didn't have a lot of value that I could give to people, but I also knew at a local scale I would go to networking events and I would go and I didn't even have a business card. I would right my name on the back of one of our banker's cards and it was caleb@gmail.com. It was like I cringed that I gave out my email like that.   Caleb Guilliams: I would go and I would introduce myself to people and I would learn a couple of things. Number one, everyone would talk to me because who's going to be the jerk that doesn't talk to the kid who look's like he's 15? Everyone is going to pretend at least that they're interested, and then number two, people really do want to transfer their knowledge. Then, number three, this is like a bonus, I would ask them for lunch. I would be like, "I'll take you out to lunch, pick your brain." None of them would let me pay, so I got a ton of free lunches out of the deal and I started sitting down locally with CEOs, top people from our university, the CEOs that would run different companies, and I was thinking like, "Wow, this is amazing", and then I'm like, "Why isn't everyone doing this?"   Caleb Guilliams: When I took over the investment department at 19 years old, I just took that on a national level. I just read books. If someone reaches out to me, I will talk to them. Most people aren't as big of a deal as you think they are, and I just started looking at leaderboards, calling authors, looking at people that I admire and just asked them and I would just share them the story. I would lead with my why. "I want to help people see and reach their highest potential. I have no clue what I'm doing. You're the best. Could I learn from you?"   Caleb Guilliams: It's like the compound effect. I was nervous at first, but then once you start getting some of these amazing people that care so much about you, oh my goodness, man. I am where I am today because of the many people that went before me and gave me 30 years of wisdom and experience in two weeks, and I'm super grateful for that.   Kyle Gray: It's a huge advantage. It's something I talked a lot about and wrote about in my first book The College Entrepreneur. I called what you described there as The Student Card, and it's not just to get a discount on your next Subway sandwich, but it's just approaching somebody as a student leader, literally or figuratively, and it works really well if you're young.   Kyle Gray: It still works no matter where you are, but because of your why and what you're doing, but I feel like people do feel a certain sense of satisfaction when they can share their knowledge with somebody. It's also pretty rare to find people that are actually somebody of 19 or 20 years old who would be willing to say, "Hey, I'm actually interested in more things that getting most of my homework done and playing Xbox."   Caleb Guilliams: Yeah, two things-   Kyle Gray: Go ahead.   Caleb Guilliams: Supply and demand. The supply is super low. There's not a lot of people that you're going to be competing with, and number two is one of the best compliments you can give someone is asking for their advice. When I figured those two things out, and like you said, I loved the name that you gave that.   Kyle Gray: How did you reach out to some of these people? Was it just through email? Were you using creative tactics to make these connections?   Caleb Guilliams: Right. I use LinkedIn, and one of my favorite stories in this is a dear friend of mine, Ross Morgan, who's a great friend of mine now, I reached out to him and he was someone that I wanted to learn. I wrote down like, "This is the guy that I want to mentor me." I remember I reached out to him on LinkedIn and he calls me and we're like five minutes into the conversation, okay, maybe 10 minutes... We're like 10 minutes into the conversation and I go, "I'm going to ask him if I can come stay with his family." The guy has no clue who I am. I'm in Birmingham, Alabama, and so I ask him.   Caleb Guilliams: I was like, "Listen, man. I have a conference that I'm going to." I wasn't going to that conference, but if he said yes, I would get to go to that conference. I was like, "Listen, I'm wondering if you know anyone in the area that I could stay with. I don't know anyone from Birmingham and I would just love to learn from you" He was like, "Well, man, I really like you. I'm going to talk to my wife and see if we would be open. We don't really know you. We have young kids. Let me get back to you." He hung up and I'm like, "Oh, no. I just blew that up."   Caleb Guilliams: He called me back like a week later because I followed up with him, because that's another thing, you need to follow up because no one is going to reach out the first time. He was like, "You know what, Caleb? I can't believe we're saying this, but we're going to let you come over. My wife is a little bit nervous, but we'll just see how it goes." That week was the turning point in my career. I did go to that conference, but after leaving with what I learned from him, I wouldn't be where I am if I didn't have that uncomfortableness, and I was just LinkedIn and a phone call, and I always will try to get a number. My pitch is to get them on the phone because I knew my unique ability is if I can talk to someone for 10 minutes, they'll want to help and they'll hear my vision, whereas it was harder for me to type that out.   Kyle Gray: I think so, and I love that tactic and that strategy and that connection. I'm certain that whatever the price of the conference was, just being able to stay at his house was worth the cost of the ticket on there.   Caleb Guilliams: A hundred percent, man, 100%.   Kyle Gray: Another thing you mentioned that was really important and really crucial was your follow-up, and managing follow-ups can be a challenging and tedious task. How do you keep clear on everybody in touch with? Who do you need to follow up with? Who do you need to keep in contact with? This is a really, really important skill.   Caleb Guilliams: It's so important and it's really where the money is at in whatever industry you're in is follow-up. I would say up until a year ago, it was all in my head. It was terrible. I would drop the ball all the time, but I have this ability. I always work, so I would kind of like get away with not having a system, and now we have a CRM system that we use .. you're actually in the CRM. It's every relationship that I have, I put a follow-up. Maybe it's six months from now, but it's like, "What's the next step?" When that day comes, we address it and then I also personally have an assistant and it's kind of like you'll hear everyone say that.   Caleb Guilliams: You might be someone listening to this and be like, "I know I need an assistant but I don't know if I can afford one." I'm telling you, just by having someone that helps you not let follow-ups slip through the cracks, it's 100% worth it. For me, now I do have a CRM and I have someone to help me follow up, and that's the most important thing that I can do as a CEO of our company is making sure that I'm working on the wildly important and making sure that I'm following up with the people that we have relationships with. If I'm doing those two things, our company will be more profitable and will impact more people.   Kyle Gray: I want to get even more granular with this. With our assistant, maybe she is writing emails for you, but I imagine that she's probably looking through this system and keeping things tracked and organized. How could somebody who wants to hire an assistant to help with this... What are some of the key ways that they can work with this?   Caleb Guilliams: A couple of things. Sometimes when I'm talking to someone, when you know someone introduces you to someone, like, "Hey, let's get together"? There is so much wasted time that goes into trying to schedule a meeting, so we use Calendly, and I also will cc my assistant on those meetings or those responses and say, "Hey, Kyle, it's great to meet you. I'm connecting you with my assistant and she is going to help us find a time that works where we can connect." Then, there may be some emails that get exchanged.   Caleb Guilliams: Then, in our business we have our A list and then everyone else, and everyone is important, don't get me wrong, but we have the people that are really important to our business  but everyone is important, so everyone deserves a follow up. Bethy my assistant is in my email and she is responding to some people on behalf of me or starting emails that need my approval.   Caleb Guilliams: We actually meet every day in the morning and we go over what's wildly important and then who we need to follow up, and then I report at the end of the day on what I did or what I didn't do, it's very intensive, and by the way, the first month, you're going to feel less productive, but as you know you've got to train someone to kind of figure out how you think which is kind of scary when you think about it. When you have someone in your email flagging things and responding to 80% of the messages that don't necessarily need your response, you get to focus on the wildly important.   Kyle Gray: How do you get clear on what's the wildly important for you? Do you have a process to track that? To think that? To come up with that?   Caleb Guilliams: Yeah. We have what's called WIG Meetings, Wildly Important Goal Meetings, where as a company we communicate what is important to the company and then every single person communicates what the most important thing that they can do this week to go to the bottom line. Our big vision as a company is we want to insure a million people by 2025. That is super audacious. I don't think we're going to be able to do that alone, but that gets me focused on figuring out, "Okay, whatever I'm dealing with, if it's not helping us go into that bottom line of helping a million people get insured by 2025, what am I doing wrong?" It gets me clear on the big picture, but then our mission is more happy clients.   Caleb Guilliams: Our goal as a company is we want more raving fans and we want to figure out a way to capture more of them and make them happy. That's our WIG and within that what I can do, what my Wildly Important Goal within that is building relationships with affiliates, having meetings, and following up. Those are the three things that I can do and then working with our marketing department to build like copy, build videos that are leverageable, so the word for me is leverage. What can I do once? What podcast can I get on that us having this conversation is going to go out to more than one person? That's for me, and then there's other people in our company that their Wildly Important Goal is to do X, and by them doing that, that's going to allow everyone to be able to help us get more happy clients.   Kyle Gray: You mentioned earlier... you gave us some advice if you don't feel you can afford an assistant, just go for it. That's more or less paraphrasing that. You said it better than I just did. Anyway, that is like an example of a scary kind of leap forward investment that you can make that at first is you can feel it in your stomach and you're like, "I don't know about this", and then like in six months or 12 months, or maybe even less time, you're like, "Wow, that was a really good move."   Kyle Gray: What were some of the investments that you've made in your business journey growing your team, growing your practice? Maybe at first you were like, "Oh", but turned out to be some of the best moves.   Caleb Guilliams: Can I go back and actually go through like a quick process that you could go through listening to figure out if you should hire an assistant or not?   Kyle Gray: Sure.   Caleb Guilliams: It's all about Pareto's principle. The 20% of the work that we do usually produces 80% of the revenue. If you're an entrepreneur, if you're thinking like, "What's the most important thing that I do that actually produces the majority of the revenue?" The cool thing is, figure out what tasks that you do and then put an hourly wage on that. For instance, I could speak on stage and that brings in 80% of the revenue. I could say that speaking on stage is like a $5,000 day for me versus filling out paperwork, which I'm not even good at. I could hire someone to... pay them $20 an hour if they could do that job.   Caleb Guilliams: For me, I had to get really clear on, "Okay, what was I good at? What is the value to our company?" You got to take yourself out of it because we're so emotional and there's that sickening feeling of like, "Oh, can I afford that?" If my day is worth $5,000 and I'm doing $20 an hour work, wow, we are holding back our mission. The idea that I had to do was stop doing the things that you can do... if someone can do 80% of the job just by them doing it, then you don't necessarily need to do it, especially if it's that kind of work that drains you. For me, it's I had to get clear on that and then it was really like, "Okay, this is an investment."   Caleb Guilliams: The other thing that, and I'm now answering your question that you asked, is one of the beliefs that I 100% have is especially as an entrepreneur, you are the greatest investment personally, like you, and your business or whatever that you're working on, whatever project is number two or number one investment. We have to value ourselves. What I found is so many people devalue themselves. They might be investing in other retirement accounts, but they're starving their whole business. They're starting their ability to produce.   Caleb Guilliams: In growing, and this has been from day one, I have seven people on my team. How in the world am I able to afford seven people? Well, it didn't happen overnight. It was every decision and it comes down to people. For me, it was the people I surrounded myself with and the things that I invested like Advance Your Reach, like different conferences and masterminds. It's like, "Man, is that really worth 10K to go to that thing?" Well, then I would go and meet a person that would change my life. It's one of those things where after looking back, coaching is super important and the people in my life are super important and they help me be more productive and produce more and we've made more money year after year even though we're spending more money.   Caleb Guilliams: Garret Gunderson probably talked a lot about this in your interview. That's a very abundant way of thinking about your life versus the scarcity of like, "Oh, if pay for an assistant I'm going to have less money." Well, you have to see everything as an investment, and maybe as sad as that sounds, everything that we do has a cost to it or an opportunity cost to it and if I'm going to put $50,000 in this investment I want a rate of return of X. What's a typical rate of return? If you're 10% you're happy, right?   Kyle Gray: Yeah.   Caleb Guilliams: Well, if you invest in an assistant and you can double your revenue as a company, you start doing the math on that. It's like, "Man, why are you investing in other things you don't understand when your business is starving?"   Kyle Gray: That's powerful and I think that's a really challenging for people to master, especially with lots of different kinds of information and philosophies on how to spend money out there. I think an entrepreneur needs to be kind of quite deviant from the normal narrative of that. What are some of the biggest money myths or maybe mindset blocks that a lot of the people that you are working with have experienced? What do you try to reinstall once you uninstall those?   Caleb Guilliams: That question is going to get me going, so you'll have to hold me back. The biggest thing that I hear entrepreneurs say or creatives is rate of return. They go down that road with me. Like, "Well, I can get a better rate of return in X, Y, and Z", and I've gotten very clear on this that ROR for me is return on result. As an individual, that's why I think it's so important about someone's why and what does financial success actually look like for you? Most people listening to this don't actually know what they want. Once we get clear on that, then whatever we do with our money, if we don't go down the shallow like, "I can get a better rate of return in this investment versus this and so that's why I'm going to decide", no, what do you do with your money that can give you the best result?   Caleb Guilliams: The biggest pet peeves that I have is number one, is people turn off their brain when it comes to efficiency. We are told to be efficient with our time. We have amazing things like cell phones and cars so we live in a world where we're fishing in some areas, but we don't even think about wealth efficiency. That's number one. Number two is we let the rate of return totally control our lives. If something will give you a better rate of return, we totally turn off our brains and say, "Okay, that's awesome", versus taking it and reverse engineering it and being like, "Well, actually I need to invest in an assistant because I could maybe get a 10% rate of return here or I could double my revenue over here."   Caleb Guilliams: It's like we turn off our brain there, and then the third area is so many people don't value themselves, and so as a result they don't value control. We live in a world where people are controlling one side of the coin and making their money, and then totally giving up total control after and it makes us enslaved to the system. Over and over again, people don't put a rate of return on anything other than the percentage or the growth rate, but we need to start putting a rate of return on safety, control, end game legacy. Once we start doing that, and I have 16 ideal benefits to doing a perfect investment, once we do that we just start seeing a bigger picture of how money works and less about just one little function.   Caleb Guilliams: I'm going to hold back, but those are like quick overviews that get me going.   Kyle Gray: Tell me about some of these 16 benefits. I'm sure like more money and, like you were saying, rate of return is one of them. What are some of the unexpected or often overlooked yet very unimportant benefits?   Caleb Guilliams: The ability to leverage your savings. Banking is the most profitable business in the world and think about, what do banks do? They control our capital and they use leverage and they're making billions of dollars off of our money. No one has ever talked to you about how you could be a banker in your own life. One of the things is like, "What's the value of leveraging a dollar that's going to continue to grow the rest of your life?" What's the value of having safety of your dollar? What's the value of having lifetime growth versus retirement growth? We don't think about our dollar growing to 85, but it's like a dollar today is not just worth a dollar, it's what that dollar could have been the rest of your life, so that's key.   Caleb Guilliams: Another thing is like the term of velocity, money in motion. We live in an economy where money needs to move in motion, and just like a pool that's stagnant, it's gross and not great, that's where people's monies are. You look at the institutions that are really winning, businesses, banking, Wall Street, they're like money is constantly in motion. The person that can control that velocity of funds will always become super wealthy, and so that and then also just getting really clear on, what does a result look like for you? That is really profound because if you can get in an ideal world, financial freedom is where I can live life, blink, blink, blink, on my terms. If you get really clear on that and you reverse engineer what that actually takes, it takes a lot less money and it takes a lot less than you think if you are smart and efficient with your money.   Kyle Gray: That's really, really powerful. Getting clear on the why, you've come back to this a couple of times. This is where you started in the bank. This is where we're coming with your current clients. Tell me is this something that you work on with people right away? Is this kind of the first step? What are some of the questions you ask them? How do you get clear on this why?   Caleb Guilliams: First question we ask is, "If money wasn't an issue at all, what would you be doing?" Then, we ask, "Why did you give that answer?" We will ask another question. It's, "What does financial success look like for you?" This question I didn't ask right away, but it's been something that we've incorporated because what someone will say on the one hand they'll say, "Oh, I want to do this, this", but then all we're talking about is how much money they want at retirement. Well, it's like, "What does financial success actually look like?"   Caleb Guilliams: Another question that I learned from Dan Sullivan is this idea of like, "Okay, in five years where you have the best five years of your life, what happened? What went on?" It's getting them to think future pacing, it's getting them to think about what the future could be, but then also for us to be realistic. It's like, "Okay, what had to happen for that to be?" I also within that creating their why, "What do you love about what you're currently doing? What do you not like about what you're currently doing?" Those questions, like the future questions but then also the present questions, ultimately you need both to formulate your why.   Kyle Gray: I think that's really important, and I think too few people really incorporate their why and even things like.. Where can I make the most impact? Where is my $5,000-an-hour contributions land? This also has to line up with, "What brings me energy? What is something I can wake up and be excited to do?" A lot of us I think, taking in there is so many gurus, I've seen so many lectures, so many articles, so many everything, and there's a lot of great strategies out there. There's a lot of great ways to grow a business, to spread your message, to create a brand, to do whatever you want to achieve. If it's not the right alignment and fit for you, then even if it's an excellent strategy, it's probably not what you should be doing.   Kyle Gray: Personally for me, I think one of the best investments I've been making in the last year or so is definitely getting clarity on like work, and I make my highest impact, and where can I work in a place that doesn't feel like work?   Kyle Gray: Caleb, we've explored a lot of different areas of communication, of follow up, of storytelling and for kind of finance. We've explored a lot of different things and it's been a lot of fun. Do you have any closing thoughts to leave our audience with today? Where can we go to learn more about you?   Caleb Guilliams: My closing thoughts is this. I had a dear friend who is like a second father to me that I thought was going to live forever and passed away this last year of cancer, leaving his family of three boys and his beautiful wife. One of the things that he encouraged me is to cherish every moment and be intentional with the days that we have. Kyle, I've found that most people are not intentional, and it's just we don't think about that. Something happens when you think about death and you think about as fun as life is, there's going to be a day, and I don't know when that day is, but there's going to be a day that's going to be done. How do I want to show up? What do I want my funeral to be like?   Caleb Guilliams: The quote that I'll end with, is by a guy named Andy Stanley and it's like profoundly changed my life and I heard it when I was 14 years old. It was, "The value of your life is always measured by how much of it was given away." The value of your life is not measured in the successes, the trophies, the money. It's about the value of your life is always measured by how much of it was given away, and to have that mindset and be like, "Wow, I want to live a valuable life, and so I need to give of myself and give of our services and have that change people's lives like that", that's why I'm so passionate and love what I do. That's the closing thought is like we only live once. Let's be intentional with the times and talents that we have.   Caleb Guilliams: I would love to connect with anyone. I wrote a book called The AND Asset, and someone could get a free copy, andasset.com, and then our website is betterwealthsolutions.com, and then I'm on all social medias. If you guys reach out to me and said that you listened to this interview, number one, thank you, and I would love to connect with you and hear your story.

Pastor Carlos continues our study in John with a sermon titled "What is Your Motivation?"

"As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me." -John C. Maxwell When you feel like quitting, think about why you started. Being motivated, is about mindset - your attitude, aptitude, altitude. What do you do to keep motivated? You keep showing up, day after day, time after time. Keep doing what you know, what you love, what you believe in. Your ability, perseverance, persistence, fortitude to show up is the extra something that separates you from the rest. It's what drives you to finish what you started, lead when no one is following, reach for the goal when it looks impossible, and certainly to keep reaching when you do not feel like reaching. You show up until you get in your zone. Sitting back and being passive never helped anyone. Keep moving. You're a leader. Lead is not a noun, its a verb. Its action. When others stop, you keep moving, you keep doing, you keep serving, you keep believing. Upgrade you conviction to match your destiny. Believe in yourself. Believe in what you believe in. Believe in your convictions and the passion will return. Why you get Unmotivated? You get stuck You get overwhelmed You get frustrated You don't feel like you're progressing You doubt your abilities You're not sure you can reach your target You're having relationship hassles You've lost your sense of purpose - why am I doing this? You've lost focus You're asking - what is my plan? Its too hard Don't believe the lie! Change the inner voice. Get around people who are inspirational, who believe in you, believe in what you do, believe in themselves. Take time to reflect, review, rediscover, renew, refocus. And then …. Show up! Your Ability is what you're capable of doing. Your Motivation determines what you do. Your attitude determines how well you do it! Always show up. Someone needs you. Help them, you may be the only one who does. What is the one thing you can do today to motivate yourself? What is the one thing you can do every day to motivate yourself? For me it is showing up! Knowing that someone needs me, may be inspired, or encouraged by my message, who may be helped to make a difference in someone else's life. It's not about perfect, or being the best, but being the best me I can be. With all my imperfections. Serving the world with me gift. You have to motivate you. You're the leader. You cannot wait for others. You cannot need others. You cannot give up on others. If you give up, somebody is poorer for it. Led with your life, with your example. Show up. Have a plan. Stick to the plan, especially when things are covered in a purple haze. Live your purpose - your mission and vision. Believe in your edge, the value you give and contribute. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theleadershipboost/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theleadershipboost/support
