"It's just as important for you to know what you are not willing to give up as it is to identify what you are willing to give. Think through the things that are non-negotiable in your life and list them. Then for each, identify its greatest potential threat and what safety measures you need to put into place to protect it."

Quote of the week:

Pg. 203 “The best way to make a sluggish mind active is to disturb its routine. Getting outside the box does that for a person.”

The Invaluable Laws of Growth

John C. Maxwell

Episode 90:  Get Out the Trap

What’d Up, Crew? What’s good?

Welcome to the podcast where I read the books you should read and don’t have time.  

Who Gon’ Check Me Boo?! God is!

Colossians 4:6

“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

Chapter 1: The Law of Intentionality

·      Pg. 1 Growth Doesn’t Just Happen

·      Growth Traps pgs.3-6

1.     The Assumption Gap-“I assume that I will automatically grow.”

2.     The Knowledge Gap- “I don’t know how to grow.”

3.     The Timing Gap- “It’s not the right time to begin.”

4.     The Mistake Gap – “I’m afraid of making mistakes.”

5.     The Perfection Gap- “I have to find the best way before I start.”

6.     The Inspiration Gap- “I don’t feel like doing it.”

7.     The Comparison Gap- “Others are better than I am.”

8.     The Expectation Gap- “I thought it would be easier than this.”

Chapter 2: The Law of Awareness

·      Pg. 17 Do you have a sense of direction?

3 Kinds of people when it comes to having direction in life?

1.     People who don’t know what they would like to do.

2.     People who know what they would like to do but don’t do it.

3.     People who know what they would like to do and do it.

·      Pg. 25-27 Create a game plan.

Awareness. Action. Accountability. Attraction.  

The challenge of the week

Pg.  11 Do it Now!

“The greatest danger you face in this moment is the idea that you will make intentional growth later.”

Quote of the week:

Pg. 2 “If you focus on goals, you may hit goals, but that doesn’t guarantee growth. If you focus on growth, you will grow and always hit goals.
