 I will be starting on the channel so it'll be a separate playlist as well but each month I'm going to come give you guys a book review of the book that I read for the month. So I'm currently in a life coaching group and one of our challenges is that we read a book a month. Now he did put specifics on us on the type of book but clearly if we're all in this group and we're trying to better ourselves mostly everybody is choosing books that help with development in some case. So entrepreneurship, business, career, personal development, spirituality, relationships, all of those types of things and it's usually non-fiction books to just share and just help us grow. So I'm getting this knowledge and I'm growing why not share it with my family right? So that's what I'm going to start doing and each month towards the end of the month I'll post the video giving you the review and then I'll also tell you guys what the book is for the next month. So you'll if you want to read along with me you can be you know you can get the book and read along as well. So this month February the book was Soar by Bishop Jakes and I got the book it was the last minute decision to read the book because honestly I wasn't planning on reading it now. I saw a couple of his interviews that he did with different people while he was promoting the book when it came out the end of 2017 and the interviews were amazing. I actually think I referenced a few of them in one of my page's videos. So I will still encourage you to check those videos out if you have not. I will try to link them in the description box. But after watching them and you know just going through some of my process with developing the channel and stuff I said you know what I'm gonna just read the book and see what it's about. So like I said the book is geared towards aspiring entrepreneur but even if you aren't that person and you are in a place in life where you are trying to achieve something greater than what you have so far then it still is a good read because it challenges your mind a lot. And one of the quotes that he had in the book actually and this is the direct quote he said the wings you use to arrive at your present perch may not have the strength, stamina and span to carry you to where you're going. And that really sat home with me because I have you know accomplished great things so far especially from the career standpoint having gone to pharmacy school and graduated and done that. That was a goal that I set and that was an achievement all in itself but now as I transition into a new phase of life and there are other things that I want to achieve and accomplish much beyond that it's going to require more of me and so I have to remember myself yes I put in a lot of work then but it's going to take more dedication and more drive and more work to get to the next level you've got to be ready for that. Now the next one is really kind of more in line with entrepreneurship and it was what he talked about with accidental inventions and really what I pulled from that was that if you get an idea or you especially if you feel like it's an idea that God gave you to go forward with go forward with it put what you have into it to produce it but know that there's a possibility that that won't work so it's not from a standpoint of you know we all tell you know most startup businesses fail and you know all this kind of stuff but his thing was if you try it and it doesn't work that's fine but it may lead to the thing that will so he used the example um he used many examples but I think Coca-Cola was one of them I'm not even really sure the history behind Coca-Cola myself but I think they were actually trying to invent or produce something else and they developed Coca-Cola. Another example that I do know because I'm a pharmacist is Viagra so that medication was not initially developed for what is used for today that was what they found as a side effect and it just so happens to be that it's a beneficial one for you know me if we have issues with that and so that's what the drug ended up becoming but that's not what it was initially meant to be for so go forward produce you know whatever it is that you feel like you should be going into but know that that may not be the thing like he used the term it may not be the thing but it will lead to the thing so just be open minded through the process learn the lessons and you know just let God guide you along the way is basically what I took from that. Capitalized on the momentum so again he was of course speaking about entrepreneurship and really like going with the trends and what's hot and what's you know what's flowing right now and he used the example like if Colonel Sanders wanted to open up a KFC now just a brand new business nobody knows they don't know nobody KFC and he wanted to open it now he was like likely the business would fail because in today's time you have so many people who are health conscious they're trying to do vegan they're moving free that you know watching fat calories and all of these things that they weren't doing back in the day when KFC was first open and now they would struggle because the health the foods that they're offering aren't health conscious like what everybody's on right now you know so he kind of just used that as an example let the trends and the flow of things benefits you instead of trying to go against it he also used an example with travel which is crazy because I never thought about it until I read this that when you're flying with the jet streams you end up getting to your destination faster than if you were flying against it so for the US continental when you're going from west to east you're flying with the jet wind and you always get there faster but when I'm going out west from the east it takes longer like maybe 30 minutes not super long but from from here to Vegas you're talking about a four-hour flight but then when we come back home from Vegas now it's like three and a half and I never really thought about it but that's true and he's like when you are going with the jet stream and with the wind it takes less power and so you can kind of go faster and you know be closer to the loan versus going against it taking more effort and more power and it's slowing you down don't underestimate the gravitational pull so this was one of those things like as you start you really believe that you got something going here good especially if you believe it was a vision that guy gave you and you're going into producing it and you know putting the work in don't underestimate the pool to come back down to where you were whether it just be life in general you know maybe past ideas and thought processes that you've had in the past that may be creeping into him doing you you know relationships with certain people who may not agree or understand like don't underestimate that there's going to be a gravitational pull that is wanting to bring you back down to where you were and that's just life in general that's just the laws of physics why when it goes up it's gonna come back down or at least it's going to try to so you again you have to put more work and effort into getting up and then staying up don't be afraid to reinvent yourself now depending on the case especially for a lot of people they may go into a career field and then at some point in life they change your mind they want to switch you just they want to do something different and he was basically saying don't be afraid to reinvent yourself because it's possible that the first thing that you did was a needed process for you to develop the skills that will make you excel in the second thing or the third for that matter he used the example of miss robby with the sweetie pies now I don't watch the show but I have heard of it you know what the show is but what I didn't know about her history was that she used to be a backup singer with Argentina turn on and something happened to her physically I think like with something up in here where she couldn't sing anymore and stuff and she had to let that go she ended up pursuing other areas and you know nothing really worked out and then she ended up going back to her roots and what she was passionate about and good at and that was cooking and she built a business around it but a lot of the things that she learned in the industry was being a background singer and the other things that she did during that time helped her in her business still so that's basically kind of the concept of where he was going without one but don't be afraid to reinvent yourself if the first thing that you did didn't work or you're not happy or it's not panning out or maybe you know it's a profession is dying or whatever reinvent yourself and then shift that's a part of life excuse your excuses that's pretty straightforward we always don't have an excuse by why we can't I don't feel like it I don't know maybe it ain't gonna work it could work but it won't just excuse all of it if it's a vision that guy gave you to go for with then you absolutely cannot sit there and keep questioning it now in my opinion and this is me I'm not coming from what I got in the book but for me if I don't know for sure that it's something they got told me to do then yeah that doubt will creep in and it will sit there for a minute because I'm like okay is this just me doing what I'm gonna do or is this really what guy's hoping to do but if I know it was him gotta stop the excuses and I mean I still do it but I don't let him sit and faster as long you know it's all in who you know so I mean that we know that network you know oftentimes the person that they know somebody is the one that gets the opportunity better than somebody who's more equipped to qualify we know that so I don't have to elaborate that on that no and then it said grow during the process and that basically of course it's just growth and development but specifically like growing and keeping up with the vision so that you'll know what you need at each phase and how to make adjustments accordingly so again I thought that was good because a part of that growth for me also means continuing to stay connected to God for guidance along the way he gave you the goal to start it but you need to be connected through the process is because things may change depending on changes in the trends changes in the flow of your customers changes in the things of maybe something guys told you to do that you didn't at the time and now this just shifts everything you just never know so that's a part of the growth that comes with making sure that you can keep up with the changes that are coming as well as just staying connected to God through each step of the process and so that's pretty much it that's all I have for you as far as the book soar is concerned there is more in the book like I said it not completely finished all of it but a lot of the latter part really gives you more detail about starting a business so LLCs and corporations and you know getting EIN numbers and setting up all of the kind of behind the scenes technical things that you really need to make sure it's done right before you start so again if you're not really trying to do that it's good to have that information available and you know where to go find it but it's not really vital just to be you know putting all of it in the video because everybody's not trying to do it so but the information that's in the book is definitely thought provoking and definitely is helpful for anybody trying to advance themselves in any area so the next book for March will be this book by Pastor John Gray and it is called I am number eight and the subtitle is overlooked undervalued but not forgotten by God this is a book that I bought a while ago that I had not finished reading so I said that I would go pick it back up and so far it's amazing so I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys as well my thoughts on that one from March if you want to join me and read the book with me then I would definitely encourage you to pick it up you know Kendall is on audible it's on everywhere that you can find it and then once I come talk about the book then you'll know what's going on soon and you can share your opinion in your comments as well so if you enjoyed the video please make sure you give it a thumbs up also make sure you share it with somebody that may be you know looking for information as far as books I concern because again this is a playlist that I'm going to continue and I'll come once a month with my review towards the end of each month also check out some of the other content
