 Hope y'all could hear me. Can't look at you But um, let me know if you can hear me You hear me, uh, Carolyn. Let me know if y'all can hear me. I don't know this up to date Everybody speaking Might be delayed. Okay. You can hear me. I Guess some of y'all just now it might be delayed because people saying hello and all of that Wanting to pop on you know on a little road trip and with the family but So that's why I can't look at you, but I need to make use of my time because you know everybody on the podcast or sleeping we're in the Sprinter and My oldest my oldest son got soccer But you know, I was saying on Saturday, this is for the bless business tribe But so if you're not in the bless business tribe viewing the bless tribe or if you just a subscriber then you're getting to see this that's a little bonus and So I'm still doing this for the YouTube because we still got a few members in the bless business tribe on YouTube even though we have the patreon some people wanted to keep the bless business tribe on YouTube as well and And going forward the bless business tribe videos, I'm gonna try to post those as well to the patreon page for the $10 and up patreon supporters but I Did a post on this I can't remember where But I want to talk to you today about you know your natural gifts and y'all got to forgive me because you know How service is sometimes how service go in and out when you're on the road? So if they cut off I didn't have to do it from the hotel tonight But hopefully it goes okay And here's the thing one of the things I noticed is Most of us have financial Issues in the sense of managing our money. That's kind of a thing we see across the board is just struggling with budgeting struggling with setting a Budget and sticking to it. We struggle with living beneath our means whatever that means, which I think honestly it means Saving money and not overspending so live it shouldn't be called living beneath your means because You should be able to have the things that you can afford and if you have the things that you can afford then you are living at your means and but semantics, you know living beneath your means is spending less than you make and One of the biggest things That I see in our world is when you think about it and you really look at it We are in this trap, you know, we kind of in this trap the cycle where You talk from a young age you talk from elementary school All through through grade school and in college you taught how to read a book and how to study and study well enough so that you can then regurgitate the information Onto a test and some people can remember information Meaning they remember it going forward My wife is one of those people who can remember because I see her teach our kids school work that she did 20 years ago, you know and It's like wow, how do you remember that? That's not how my mind worked in school I remembered long enough to take the test to get a or be on the test and then I let it go But we are taught how to be systematic We talk how to show up every day Because if you are absent from school you will get detention if at a certain amount of abstinences then you will get suspended and If you miss too much school, you will get kicked out of the school and in some places Your parent will be your parent will be put in jail If you miss too much school so we taught how to show up and we taught how to study we taught how to be systematic and We taught how to earn a grade to do a report and so When you think about that it prepares us for the real world it prepares us to go into the world where 1% 1% of the people on the businesses and Then the 99% is taught how to show up every day Because if you if you miss days of work, you'll be written up and if you continue to miss days of work You'll be suspended. You continue to miss days of work. You'll be fired You taught how to learn your job so you go through training and you learn your job And then you taught how to pass the test You are evaluated every three months or every six months and you evaluated on your performance and then you can be Elevated in the company you could get a promotion you could get a get a raise you could get a new position and So that's what the school system in the college And that's all fine and dandy But the thing is is when the 1% who own the business decide that they want to do layoffs to save some money or the market crashes or a Pandemic happens and things happen in the world and then so things change and Your company has to let you go And y'all let me know can y'all Still hear me, okay? Yeah, cuz this is a bunch of trees around me and your company decides to let you go and Then what do you do? So this is what I want you to understand and this come from my course entrepreneurship with purpose on Tony gas Academy calm and I know some of you are already in there because I Sold that course for five dollars at one point. I think it might be a hundred dollars right now Which is 50% off I think You have a gift We all have a gift and a lot of people don't realize that we all have a gift and What gift is a gift is the thing that you can do that not everyone else can do So the gift is that thing It comes natural. It's something that you really not talk. You're not taught your gift The gift comes natural. So this is something that When you think back to childhood and you think about when you were with your friends or your cousins You know, what did you do? What were you asked to do? You know, what do they have you doing? You could have been the one writing the poetry. You could have been one. You were the teacher when you play school You could have been the cook when you play house You could have been the dancer the singer The one who drew the pictures for people Like when you think back to your gift, you could have been the one who did the cleaning up when when y'all had to clean up from my house Everybody's saying you help us clean up because you clean up the best. You could have been the one who did the organizing The soul and the creativity and so when you think about a gift This is something that it comes to you natural and it could be you it can be developed You can get better and better at it, but you have some intangibles around that guilt For myself, I was a writer and I learned how to write at a young age It's meaning how to write poetry and how to write something that makes sense but make the last word of each sentence rhyme in Couplets so two lines rhyming the next two lines rhyming the next two lines rhyming, but it makes perfect sense and Not everybody's mind Things like that so not everybody could write that type of poetry And then if I needed to make every other line match or if I need to write a haiku or if I need to write in whatever it's called couplets or Quads or whatever you will call it any type of poetry that we were taught I was able to figure out how to write that poetry and When it came to writing essays, I could articulate my thoughts on paper But not every student could do that and that's what I mean by a gift think about what you could do and A lot of times people think that a gift has to be Something crazy people think a gift has to be something, you know, like Michael Jackson or Beyonce a gift could really be cleaning up like your brain has a Has something in it that allows you to clean every crevice of a room without getting angry and Your brain actually enjoys the cleaning process or the organizing process the counting process the the math of life and So a gift literally can be anything. It's kind of like People who are gifted at cooking we all can get a recipe and we can go and we can Just try to follow that recipe and it may turn out well, but then you have some people who their taste palette just kind of innately knows what flavors go with what and They can kind of eyeball the seasoning and they can season to taste without measuring and It's just something that their brain does But not everybody can do that. So this is the gift. What can you do? They're not everybody can do and Then when you identify the gift you have to identify the market for it the career for it and You got to identify a way to make money from it and it's not as Easy as it sounds, but it's also not as hard as it may sound because when you look around Every single thing that anybody can do somebody is making Money from it. So no matter what it is somebody is making money from anything you can imagine from tying toes together somebody's being paid to tie toes together and That's what you have to realize is if you can sew Then you can make money from it if you can clean you can make money from it if you can talk you can make money from it and this is the things that because we are so systematic from school because To show up Every day to learn the lesson and to take a test because that's how we're taught it stifles our creativity and We forget our brain stops thinking on how to Use your natural gift to find a way in the world We stopped doing that. I remember I had an assistant a young man that went and got two master's degrees and I was I Was a Working with this young man, and I remember he was like if I gave him a task He was he could do 15 out of 10 if I graded him on a scale of 1 to 10 He could he would be a 15 if I gave him a task but if I said hey If I say hey, I need you to Create a proposal for me You know like look at the market. Look at the industry Look at my gifts. Look at what I do and Identify companies that will be a good sponsor for my tour He could not do it He could not do it and it was because he had been in school for like 16 17 18 years so the creativity was stifled and He had lost that ability and then you'll see some people who have only went to 12th grade and Become a millionaire and so you have to identify that when you're identifying your gift and you're identifying your business You got to identify those blind spots You got to identify those weaknesses you have to be real with yourself about what your life Maybe has changed about your thought process the way you think the way you see the world the way and Because a lot of times we get too caught up and we either we either love school or we hate school We either love the system or we hate the system and we can't find that happy medium And so even though I don't have a college degree I understand the benefits of what college does by teaching you to show up to be timely to be prompt to do your work, you know to study To learn and to test out like I could understand the benefits of it Even though I went to college eight years and didn't get a degree But at the same time I can see the flaws in you Of how it can stifle creativity. So in your process You got to look at what your life Has done for you because when you're looking at your gifts and you're looking at your skills You're looking at your passions So in just to break those down Your skill a skill is something that you learn that's something that you go like a trade or training a Skill is something that you pick up is something you learn your passion is Something that intrigues you so a passion could be something that you just it challenges you and you're intrigued by it and And that's what we have to understand that a gift and a passion may not be the same thing because The gift could be so natural and come so easy that it doesn't challenge you nor does it intrigue you But a passion could be so engaging or so intriguing or so challenging that you become passionate about it because of how it pushes you and You have to understand that and then a skill May not be a gift or it may not be a passion But a skill can be a gift and you can be gifted at a skill and you can be Passionate about a skill so you have to be able to differentiate between these things so that you can understand You know your archetype your personality and how you How you work, you know how you operate So I'm passionate about singing But I cannot sing I am not gifted at singing but I love the sing to hum and make little noise and Turn on my song and I swear. I'm here in the notes with KC and Jojo or Mario or Neo or Jamie Foxx, whatever I'm lit Marvin South bread hammers. I swear on hitting those and I know I'd be all Off that note and if that song go off Before I didn't finish that note and I get to hear myself. I'm like, oh lord This is it. So I have to be honest although I love Harmony and I look I could love R&B or gospel music That's not my guilt and this is one of the things that happen all the time is As humans we see other people's gift. We see other people's skills We see other people's talent, which a talent and gift is like the same thing It all depends on your definition and your your dictionary, you know, just me explaining it and so you may see it slightly different but I see people who Try to do what they see someone else do And someone else is gifted and successful at doing that. So I see people try to do that And they are absolutely horrible at it And it is it's cringe worthy and I know you've seen somebody doing something and you're like man That is not your calling. That is not your guilt and that is When we that's how we get misled as humans when we try to do things That we're not called to that we're not gifted at and we'll be overlooking our gift So there are people who are speakers And they should be artists meaning painters there are people who are YouTubers but They should be interior designers Like there are people who are authors But they should be singers And a lot of times the reason why this happens is Is we Like as humans we try to do stuff That challenges us And I always tell the story of one of my friends Is he was so gifted at graphic design like just the way his mind could figure out software on a computer And the way he could see design the way he could do design Like i'm in a ux ui class right now which stands for user experience and user interface and so I'm taking this class at the university of miami and it's like an intro class And we're using canva and figma And figma looks a little hard for me, but canva they got a lot of templates so it makes it a little easier but I had a friend before canva and figma existed whatever program was out there My first book cover what daddy never told his little girl When you go to amazon and you search what daddy never told his little girl I published that book in 2007 When you look at that book cover in 2007 My friend who was 22 years old in 2007 published that book and published that book And he did that book cover for me. I paid him a hundred dollars That book cover looked better than book covers that's being published today in 2022 So that let you know my friend gifted But he just did not like it. He did not like it And but what what challenged him was making beats making beats for music and rapping and He's just not as good as making beats And rapping as he is graphic design So right now today had he stuck with graphic design. He literally could be the head of design for like Microsoft or facebook or instagram and making hundreds of thousands of dollars and have his own graphic design agency and Maybe making a million But he went to making beats and to rapping And he has had zero success in it And I talked to him about this. So I ain't talking bad about it. He know that I keep it real like this And he's had zero success at it And that is What happens with so many of us Is we chase a passion Instead of utilizing a gift We chase a challenge instead of operating in our gifts And we don't take the time to inspect what our gifts are Because see what your gift is it's typically going to be something that you are applauded on that you really don't even realize Like my wife made a post yesterday of her outfit And she had just got her hair, you know blow-dried And she posted in her story and I have over 900,000 followers on instagram And I posted a little story yesterday that said hey, I'm going live on youtube I only that story It only got a little over 3,000 views My wife has 50,000 followers She posted her story her bathroom selfie And it then got 5,000 views She she don't even have 10% of my following but that Post and got over 5,000 views in less than 24 hours and She has a knack for styling outfits as simple and effortless As it may appear It's a gift So after experiencing her gift It's hard for me to get dressed without asking her what should I put on Because she does it so easy. She sees the outfit so easy But not everybody can do that and and we know that when we look at people outfits We could tell not everybody is gifted at getting dressed And this is what I mean So many people wrote her Man, I love your style. Man, it's something about this outfit. Man, it's something about this picture and she was showing me That's where our gift is What are you praised for? What are you praised for? That is effortless for you A prime example i'm driving and i'm teaching A class right now and i'm driving And i'm holding the phone. I'm holding the steering wheel. I'm looking at the road I'm in absolutely no danger. I see everything around me. I'm completely focused on the road, but yet i'm teaching an entire Lesson that if you listen, it will change your life so Guess what I know I know that not every person could do this because I have rolled in the car with people Who just having a conversation with you in the car. They'd be by the red If they do anything other than Have them hand in two they'd be by the red It's people that cannot walk in two bubblegum at the same time And so we know Based on what you are praised for That is your gift And you've got to pay attention to it So think back To what your grandmother or your mother or your school teacher Praised you for what did they say you really good at? My mama used to always say baby You need to be writing for hallmark baby You can make some money from writing And I ignored it because the only writer I had heard of was Langston Hughes And I didn't know what Langston Hughes looked like We just read a poem of his in school And not to me. I just thought that was lame. I was like A writer that has to be a lame guy like a writer like I want to be a pro football player a pro basketball player a writer. That's lame Because of where I grew up Education was lame writing was lame But being a drug dealer or being an athlete or a rapper was cool And so But guess how I make a living today from my writing and I've written Nearly 20 books But that's what my mom would always praise me about And she had She graduated high school, but she she felt like she read and write on a Fifth grade level time. I hit fifth grade. I could spell better than my mother And she would never try to move up in her job because she felt like She would fail the assessment That she would need to take to get a promotion. So she stayed at the entry level At the corporate office of state farm insurance Because she didn't trust her reading and her spelling And I say that to say Even though she didn't trust Her reading and her spelling She felt Like I was very smart and she recognized the gift in me And this what you got to go back to and this how you get to the root of identifying your guilt And then When you identify your guilt You might You might be bored By your guilt You might Look at your gift and say Man, I don't want to do that I'm that's That's boring. That's too easy. I'm tired of that but That's that's where your million dollars is And this is why so many people are struggling today Because they're overlooking their guilt and they're on somebody's job And they don't realize that if you can tap into your gift and you could build Your dream while you own Your basically listen It's on islands to dream in the job until you see the bridge from your job to your dream To your dream job and when I say dream job, I mean your gift job It might not be your actual dream and But it's a means to earn a living And it's a means to invest in developing skills That you may be passionate about So you use your gift and you you stand on the gift And then the gift allows you to tap into passions and to skills so $500 When you ask yourself, okay, do I have $500 today? That I could invest in Something i'm intrigued by Can I go right now today? And spend $500 to take a online course About something i'm i want to learn If the answer is no Spent even in somebody compliments her. Yeah, when you sold a hundred dresses You sold a hundred dresses and you sold a hundred dresses Now you got 20 to 40 dollars times 100 So you didn't make two thousand or four thousand dollars in addition to the money you make on your job because you tapped into your gift And this is what I mean and so as you think about this now I'm taking a ux ui class and it costs $500 to be in the class Well operating in my gift afforded me the $500 to invest in something that i'm developing a passion for And that's what I mean And so when you do this you're going to start to see a business model You're going to start to see a business model and with this business model you're going to see where you can charge To do what you do Or charge to teach what you do or to teach what you know or to teach what you understand You're going to see this And when you see this When you see this Now you realize You become the one eyed person in the land of the blind and So if your gift is research and you're great at reading and comprehending you search on google You read 10 different articles You take great notes and then from those notes y'all got to give them a little service Kind of cutting out. I see you started to keep freezing On here and i'm in the middle of nowhere And i'm a little sorry. Can y'all hear me? Let me serve. Let me serve you Let me know if you can hear me. I'm freezing and then when I freeze and taking It start buffering for some people and then some people it might stay connected, but I know it'll be kicking you off for here. Let me know if y'all can hear me or if i'm frozen Okay, you can hear me. All right and so Now I might miss if I go out or I know some of us is gonna cut out But I might miss them driving so I can't really look at you, but we kind of Still Almost Was nice back long And so when you're taking you look at the business model You'll start to see that you're the one eyed person in the land of the blind And so somebody will take and start to pay you because they say hey You've taken a step further than me. So I want to pay you For what you know because you've learned how to do taxes or you've learned how to write a book Or you've learned how to sew and so can you teach me this because I struggle with going to google and reading articles and learning how to do this So can you help me one-on-one? And how much would you charge and you say okay? Yeah 25 an hour and now you're being paid for that And so this is what you have to get down to Is using your gifts and turning your gifts into a business And just having one customer at a time And then that one customer will turn into three customers And then it's going to turn into five then it's going to turn into 10 And then the next thing you know you're making Side income and then that side income eventually can become full time income And it may take three years it may take five years some people it may take longer than that on average what I see Is three years. I typically see it take about three years For people to start earning a living full-time living using their gifts and so this is what you got to get to and identify if you spending your tires in quicksand If you only focused on a job, but you've not focused on your gift If you only Just focus on a paycheck every week or every two weeks or salary, but not focus on your gifts You got to identify that you got to be real with yourself about that And when you tap in in that area, just what you're going to understand is that you May not be gifted at your passion and you may not be passionate about your gift But when You tap into your gift You can give your gift purpose And by giving your gifts purpose Purpose is serving And purpose is solving a problem In somebody's life. That's what your purpose is Is serving and is solving and so You could be a rapper And that could be your gift But the rap makes you money The rap may be entertaining. It might be dance music And so people are dancing and you may feel like that's not really changing anybody's life But from the money that you make You can then start a nonprofit organization to help inner-city youth or whatever you Go to this location And learn how to make beats Learn how to play the guitar Learn how to make music So now You have kids going to the library To learn pro tools or whatever software to make beats Instead of being in the streets Instead of being in fornication At their house while their parents still at work. They're at the library in your program Learning how to do what you do whatever it is you do Now you have given your gift purpose And so I call this this my proprietary Thing that I had the trademark and it's called the gap process And the gap process is where you connect Your gifts and purpose that's what gaps stand for gifts and purpose So you're bridging the gap between your gifts and your purpose And when you do that Now this is what makes using your gift and earning money meaningful And being a blessing to other people So listen Sit down a day If you need to go in depth and kind of walk through it, I can't do the whole portion Right now because I can't remember my outline But I put this in a course called entrepreneurship with purpose Because some of y'all got this course for five dollars. You you maybe have taken it You maybe didn't take it serious Because sometimes if you don't have to pay a lot you think that it's not worth anything But a part of my purpose is giving stuff away or making stuff so cheap that more people can get it So if you're in the entrepreneurship with purpose course and even right now, I got a list of that over 50% off If you're in that course Sit down and go through that course. But after each video Taking right down like jot down notes of what you learned and identify your gifts And identify your passions And then see how you can marry Your gifts and your passions the gift and the passion could be the same thing So if my gift is writing and my passion is writing That's the same thing But when I married the gift of writing and the passion of writing What does that what baby does that produce? Um God bless you. God bless What baby does that produce if my gift is writing and my passion is writing I then can birth a book I can birth a book I can birth a blog I can be a ghost writer So I could be a ghost writer. I can be an author. I could be a blogger I could be a copywriter for people websites writing the copy You ever go to somebody website and you read the copy and it's and it sounds real choppy It's it's misspelled words It's it's a lot of It sounds regional like you can tell where they are from Based on how they wrote their bio or the copy on their website If you have a gift with writing and you have a passion with writing You could be a copywriter and make a whole lot of money Writing better copy copy that converts copy that sells for people websites because that's that is a gift Not most people cannot copyright and so You have to understand that I and listen everything is a service everything is a service. So because I'm a writer I started writing people bios For a hundred dollars. I write I write people bios When I was in school, I would write poems for for the boys I would write their poem for their girlfriend for five dollars Everything is a service. Your gift is a service To do to write the copy for a site you may charge a hundred dollars per page Of that website and go on up from there. It may get to be five hundred dollars per page It's people making six figures as copywriters It's people making good money as a freelance blogger Or writing articles for different sites and you submit the article and you may get paid 250 up to a thousand dollars depending on who you're featuring and what you're writing about and so Jot down your gifts the things you do that not everybody else can do And then jot down your passion the thing that you love to do on your free time The thing that you love to do and sometimes it might not be the same So you can see how you can marry it So if a gift is writing But a passion is interior design Now when you when you bridge when you marry the two Then you could be a writer for an interior design website You could be a writer for an An interior design magazine You could start writing for architecture digest is that how is that what it's called? And When you look at this so it's a marriage between the gifts and the passion and then The baby that they have is your business. That's how it's your service. That's what you provide Now this something that I didn't learn this anywhere. I didn't read this I didn't read this in a book anywhere There's something that I had to piece together through my entrepreneurial journey There's something that I had to teach myself. There's something that I had to just process Which again I realized that that is a gift. Don't don't don't be afraid about realizing your gifts They don't make you arrogant. They don't make you prideful Because you realize you better at something than other people that it you A gift is also recognizing your gifts because some people have a whole bunch of gifts And they can they can't see their gifts I do coaching sessions with people And they so gifted That they have a million dollar gift and they cannot see it But one of my gifts is being able to see that and turn it into business And I and what I do is I say, okay, do this first do this second do this third Do this four do this fifth And that's the six-figure blueprint that eventually as your following grows That'll be a seven figure and if you're following continue to grow it'll be eight figures On some gifts. There's no cap on it. And so That's what you got to understand and if you sit down and you do the work internally you're introspective And you you be still You're willing to be still you're willing to talk to yourself. You're willing to not just talk but to hear yourself Then you're going to realize and recognize that And this is how I see the world And a lot of people don't agree with this a lot of people don't see this But the way I see the world Is that there is room for everybody Because you have to remember Who were you created by some people some people y'all were created by a spontaneous combustion Um to each their own I believe in god I believe I was Created by a higher power that humans was created by a higher power and that humans were coded With the ability to reproduce other humans And so I believe in god And one thing I know is that god did not create Institutions meaning schools And universities That was created by humans who were Innovative and they say hey We need to take the natural resources of this land And we could build we could use this coal we could use the wood we could use the cotton But in order for us to use these things we got to put systems in place And this is our idea. So this is our family. This is johnson family idea This is the smith family idea This is the williams family idea But so this is our idea Somebody the hat already Somebody the hat already Lord bless him lord Let him be all right God beside they say Went going too fast in the bmw Now ran into the meeting and ran into the guardrail Lord bless them lord keep me safe while I'm trying to help your people In the name of Jesus And so they say hey The the raucous burger What do people call What what the rich family called out of new york the raucous burger or somebody So that family say hey, we didn't figure it out We could use this coal we could use this cotton we could use this wood But we need somebody to come work it we need somebody to work it and so We got to create a school because we need to teach these people how to read Teach these people how to write teach these people how to comprehend We need to teach them to show up on time so that when they come work our business They can keep this thing running And so that's what the world was created the 1% put the 99% to work And the 1% retained the wealth The 99% get put in debt The 99% get kept in debt And the 99% be j o b you have a job you just over broke You just over bothered And but you got a job But the way I see the world Is I see the world in a way that God gave us all the gift And that each of us Can be a small business That every person is supposed to be a small business That even if you work in a larger job Your gift is getting you paid 50,000 but out of that 50,000 you take 5,000 and you start your small business So the job you're working for is a big business that they could pay you 50 and then You invest 5,000 and start a small business So it's like this If my gift is to make a shoe Your gift is to make the sole I could probably make the size but you make the sole Now the next person make the laces The next person make the The thing that's on the inside of it Not the sole the bottom You should I mean and then The next person make a sock The next person make pants The next person make shorts the next person make a shirt somebody else make a jacket somebody make a denim jacket somebody make a wool jacket It's all small businesses But we all support each other. So it's like a marketplace. So we're we going through the market And we're buying from 1012 different people but because we all You know We eventually You don't have nieces and nephews or it's going to be somebody's going to have enough kids for all of us And then some of us might have no kids Some of us might not get married Some of us going to have enough wives for 10 men And some are going to have enough kids for five households It's so many people that it can be A million people that do the same thing Because we service a 7 million people across the globe And this is where people go wrong people think That they can't use their gift Because if they use their gift It's to saturate it But you don't need the whole market And that's why I tell people like when you like helping people and you like listening to people And you like you like you could see the vision you could see you got the birds eye view And you could come in a high level And you can't see your own business, but you could see somebody else's business You can't see your own gift But you could see somebody else's gift So the reason why you can't see your gift is because your gift is to see other people's gift So that make you a coach that make you a consultant So people say well, oh, I don't want to be a coach or a consultant because I can't Because I can't get enough clients So when you think about this How many people live in your city? How many people live in your city? So you might not your job might not be your gift that might be your skill But if you use that skill And you get paid and your job pay you 50 thousand With that five thousand ten percent that you invest into your small business. Guess what five thousand will do Five thousand will start your LLC for one hundred dollars to three hundred dollars You start your LLC Another hundred dollars will get your business cards Another hundred dollars will get your website Three hundred dollars a month Will give you a bus stop bench With your face on it. You got your face. It got your website And that right there Will get you clients So I just What did we just start a business with? three hundred dollars on LLC A hundred dollars on business card. That's four hundred dollars a hundred dollars on a website That's five hundred dollars And now three hundred dollars for a bus stop bench That's eight hundred dollars off that bus stop bench if you get one client If you get one client and you bust your butt and you over serve You under sell and you over deliver now the life of that client Could be thousands of dollars But that client is going to tell their sister Going to tell their brother going to tell their mama going to tell their daddy So one client is going to turn into three different clients And then three clients going to turn into 30 clients So just in your city alone if you could get 10 clients Them 10 clients could end up earning you a living But a lot of people don't launch their business because they think they need Thousands and thousands of clients But you just got to get started with one client That you not they sought so So get you one client not they sought so and now that client bringing your other clients Now you making money One client Take you one hour a week So You spend an hour a week you're going to spend an hour on this video So now if you spend an hour on this video your next hour need to be on identifying your gifts and identifying a marketplace for your gifts So one client equals one hour a week The work week is 40 hours So you still could work a job And you take an hour from television or you take an hour from social media And you give that hour to that one client Then that turn into two clients and the three clients You got 168 Hours in a week or something like that So you could work Up to 80 hours in a week I mean yeah in a week you could work up to 80 hours Even though that 40 hours is a lot you could work up to 80 hours And you and you still got a whole another 80 hours to sleep So when you think about this You could work a full-time job and still service five to ten clients So you can balance the dream and the job and be building your dream job while you working a full-time job And that's what you got to realize and understand So listen watch this over and over It's it's it's simple And it's also easy The hard part is getting over the negative self-talk. That's the hard part The hard part is Stop listening To the doubters and the naysayers. That's the hard part A lot of times people who are deemed ignorant Or uneducated Become them Now there are people who are very smart But education but they may have self-education Jim rones Jim rones says Normal education will make you a living Self-education will make you a fortune and so What does school teach us school teaches us a process So because school teaches us a process When we go into business If you have too many processes Then you never produce anything Because you're always analyzing it That's where some genius created analysis paralysis because If you too school Then you were you were over analyzed every move Was it Edison was it Edison who said he Failed a thousand times Before he created the light or whoever it was with electricity or somebody But again, I'm not that school. I didn't pay much attention in school But I earned seven figures because I put into action I take action And I make the mistakes See What i'm doing right now I should not be doing this I should not be driving And talking to you at the same time But no and some people this scares some people to death It scared them to death. So because it scared them to death. What do they do? They die They're dead man walking Because they scared to death to launch They scared to death to take action. They scared to death to take a chance To take a risk to take a gamble as they never get anything out of life There's a quote that says if you wait until every light is green Before you leave home You will never go anywhere And that's what some people do They sit in Their house and they wait until every light is green But what do we know about traffic? We have learned that when one light is green another light is red And so you can go through a green light And then get hit with a yellow light and you could squeak through the yellow light But then you get hit with a red light And if you run the red light you get a ticket So there is starting and stopping Is a natural process of building anything starting stopping resetting resting All of this is a natural process. So when you look at your life like a road to destiny If you look at your life like a road to destiny When you on literal road, what do you have to do? You stay in your lane You stay in your lane I got a e-book about this. It's called the road to destiny They might have took it down because the quality was so poor But it was on kindle and it was called the road to destiny And I was talking about and I drew I made analogies of being on your road to destiny is like being on the real road So being on this road You stay in your lane In business If You are single Then you should not be a marriage coach You should be a singles coach If you are in debt And with bad credit Then you should not be a finance coach If you are out of shape, then you should not be a personal trainer So if you want to be successful you stay in your lane Another lesson on the road to destiny is you keep your eyes on the road You are looking at me, but because I'm on the road my eyes are on the road You keep your eyes on the road because if you are looking to the left And you're looking to the right too much You're going to get envious of the vehicles other people are using You've got to be appreciative that you have a vehicle that will get you from point a to point b But if you are looking At the next person's vehicle, you're going to be envious and it's want to make you want to stop your process You also eventually going to crash The other thing is you have to look through the windshield more than you look through the rear view mirror Because if you keep looking back at your pain, if you keep looking back at your trauma If you keep looking back at your failures and at your mistakes, then you are going to crash into Where you're trying to go you're not going to get there because you're going to run off the road Another lesson on your road to destiny is you have to be careful not to pick up a hitchhiker Because if they are hitchhiking God got a lesson for them to get on that walk. I know that sounds harsh But they walking for a reason and you driving for a reason You could wave you could say hey keep your head up You could give them five dollars But you need to let the hitchhiker walk Because that hitchhiker might be a serial killer That hitchhiker Might have cursed out their whole family Did their whole family wrong did all their friends wrong and that's why they have nobody to call Nobody to Perf to them the people who grew up with them Then turned they back on them so that person might need to hear from God. We're not judging them. You can help them Give them some food Give them some money But if they keep walking they are eventually going to run into a rest stop They're going to see the rest stop But God going to get a message to them on their road to Damascus. That's how Jesus reached My service acting up so if this here freeze on me y'all uh Pause for a second and we'll pause and try to let it come back Before it uh before I cut it off before I try to let it come back so y'all understand that and uh And and every time they freeze it's gonna kick Kick people off So you may have to refresh and come back on if you get kicked off and uh This another lesson when you on the road When you on your road to destiny There will be storms There will be high winds There will be roadblocks There will be detours There will be wrecks What does one wreck cause one wreck could cause another wreck A wreck could cause rubber neckings somebody a genius came up with the term rubber neckings Because we start rubber necking when somebody else then got into a little wreck And then we'll end up hitting the car in front of us because we rubber necking So see on your road to destiny Another lesson is this in my e-book now. I made a e-book called road to destiny It's on kindle I think if it ain't on kindle if you got kindle and you search the road to destiny Tony Gaskin and it don't come up Let me know so I could Republish it because kindle started deleting people e-books if it wasn't up the standard And I wrote the e-book in like two hours And I just turned it into a pdl and I uploaded it. I didn't get it formatted. I ain't do none special And um, so kindle might as it took you down It might be on my old computer that crashed And so listen to me now Listen to me So now on your road to destiny You cannot spend Too much time at the rest stop You can't spend too much time at the rest stop Because what's going to happen if you spend too much time at the rest stop? You're not going to get to where you got to go on time Rest is productive But you can't sit for too long If you sit for too long also What's going to happen if you sit for too long and y'all let me know if you can hear me If you sit for too long at the rest stop You're going to get robbed Because you're going to be a sitting duck so When you look at your road to destiny what I mean by that is If you sitting on your ideas If you're resting on your ideas For too long Eventually you will be robbed of your ideas Y'all get on one second Y'all forgive me. I had to plug my phone in but My service cut not so I'm uh I'm gonna go and finish this up now because my service keeps cutting out and when my service cut out Take everybody off and then it come back Now and I'm gonna go and get off of here too because you know I need to lock all the way in and I see what I'm doing is what I'm doing is I'm just pretending that you in the front seat with me That's why I'm not looking at the phone because my eyes on the road But I'm pretending you in the front seat with me And you know when you on the road a lot of times you have a lot more clarity Then when you in the office or you somewhere else sometime when you want to drive You have more clarity Than you have when you sitting Sitting still And so that's why I shoot videos when I'm in the car a lot of people don't realize Why and it's really just because of The sound of the road It kind of block out All the natural thoughts and you can receive a message and you can have clarity About what you The stage that you in in your life Now the point that I was making about the hitchhikers Is and why you have to be careful picking up a hitchhiker now God might put on your spirit and God might say hey, you know pick up This set of hitchhikers I mean pick up this hitchhiker right here You might you might hear that in your spirit But I doubt it because God don't bless everybody with their vehicle When they ready to receive their vehicle But the thing what I mean by hitchhikers is one of the biggest mistakes that we make as humans on the road to destiny Is we go into business and we partner with people I have worked with and saw so many people Go into business With somebody else It's been so many people Who have gone into business with somebody else and it hindered or stifled or ruined Or diverted them from destiny Because they went into business with someone else And by doing that They ruined everything because The other person had another vision The other person was not clearly hearing From God so you could be hearing from God You could be living right and doing right and someone else Okay Feeling good hit that gas, huh and someone else and see this the thing Sometimes people will partner with you Because they don't want to watch you succeed But they know if they sit on your wings that you can't soar They know if they sit on your wings that's fine Partner with you Because they know your personality Your personality type is going to make it happen And because they know your personality type is going to make it happen They know that by default They will be successful They will be successful because You will not quit you will not give up But you thought you needed a partner Because your weakness was self doubt You will go in spite of using you even just a little bit So having a partner Make Feel like you have somebody who there could be somebody Who wants to live off of you so the coach to be careful when you pick up hits Tigers So sometimes this connection Will be platonic worker who partners with you in business And they're not sleeping with you. They're not dating you But yet they still Draining you And then sometimes the hitchhiker could be someone you get into a relationship with A boyfriend or a girlfriend A husband or a wife Who sees that you are gifted They see that you're going somewhere. They see that you're going to be a High producer And so they pretend to like you and they pretend to want to be with you But this is really they want your anointing. They want to benefit from where you are going And they want to benefit from what you are doing But if you have that little if you have that blind spot You've got that blind spot where You don't see them. You don't see them coming Because you felt like you needed somebody In order for you to go somewhere So you say, oh i'm on the road to destiny But i'm riding alone So let me pick up this hitchhiker so that i got somebody to talk to And then that hitchhiker end up distracting you and costing you everything Now another lesson on the road to destiny and y'all let me hurry up and get done another lesson Yeah, the other enemy trying to block this here now y'all know how it be now when I get on here now When I get on here and the spirit go to moving everything go to happen on this live People be on live don't nothing be going on if they talk about celebrity gospel But alive be smooth You get on here. You talk about spirits or stuff. What a lie go to aching up So listen to me and i'm driving slow too And they're caught here trying to make a point when they pass me listen I got all my properties. I have to be safe. So listen to me You on the road to destiny You have to make sure That the people riding with you Have gas money See A lot of times you taking people With you and they ain't got no gas money And i'm not talking about your dependence. I'm not talking about the kids you done had The kids you done adopted The the sickly parents that you taking care of I'm not talking about dependence I'm talking about grown Able body stable minded human beings Who are riding with you because of where you are going and they are not putting anything in the tank You have to make sure that the people riding with you have gas money If they ain't got gas money, you're going to have to find an exit And you're going to have to drop them off at the cousin house And they at the classmate house You're gonna have you may have to Take a detour To say yeah, i'm i'm gonna be staying here in this city for a little bit So you got anybody in this city that i could drop you off to because I got to stay with my with my uncle. So It ain't enough room for both of us And they they're gonna figure something out. Oh, well, you know what dropped me over the early house I'm a girl call and drop me the early house and you're gonna have to drop in the early house And as soon as you drop in the early house Lord forgive me for lying Lord forgive me for telling that lie And then you get back on the road to destiny You cannot have people who are able-bodied Riding with you on the road to destiny if they ain't putting nothing in the gas tank And Friends Sometimes girlfriend Sometimes in gas tank don't necessarily mean putting something in the gas tank don't necessarily mean money Remember, there's a metaphor now. There's a metaphor. Don't take everything literal now. You can't take this literal This book this was spiritual ears carna a carna a carna mine might not understand what i'm talking about. So If you don't understand nothing i'm talking about It's a little proof that you might have a carna mine God bless you now. We praying for you, but keep your head up keep going And so now listen don't take this too literal because somebody could be filling your tank up With love and i ain't talking about Dropping no d off on you Or dropping no p off on you. I'm talking about love Meaning inspiration encouragement knowledge They bind you a book to read They bind you a course somebody wrote in the other day and say they want to buy their cousins some courses That's that's gas money That's got to be a mechanic or they got to have gas money Come on line. You can't have somebody who you can't fix no car or you can't help Pay to fix no car No, you're gonna have to become a hit tiker that person will have to become a hit tiker Hey, let me go on Get on off here, man, because this thing keep backing up But i i negate The road to destiny I negate a road to destiny I still got another hour where i got to go I negate a road to destiny Blueprint that's that's pretty much all the analysis that i had in that ebook I wrote it. I wrote this ebook probably 2012 2010 something like that And I published it on the kinder And so what I just was sharing was from that ebook I don't know what I left out And that ebook probably got typos in it because I just wrote it in one go in one draft I published the rough draft And that's how I do my work. That's how I do my work Everything you from me is not Everything ain't gonna be polished that you get from it And again personality types So if you pick up somebody who they do they work different they could slow your process down So if you're gonna partner with somebody you got to make sure that Their strengths are your weaknesses and your weaknesses are their strengths But y'all still moving forward Not somebody who's just gonna fuss and fight with you and argue and have your stagnant So hey god bless y'all I got to get going Um Got calls coming in So listen back to this if you missed any part of it it cut out several times But when it cut out I tried to stop talking one time off still talking to the batteries going dead So it paused the video But god bless y'all and thank y'all for the those of y'all who sent that blessing if I missed it Forgive me cuz my eyes on the road But um god bless y'all and we'll be in touch And I got to try to try to look at the phone Turn this it off
