It Is THE Key
Consistency is the one thing.
What I’m about to tell you, you could bet the farm on.
This one trait is in EVERY successful person, ministry, church etc… That one thing.
Consistency.
Consistency in the process.
NEVER Quit!
When you take one rock at a time and stack it in a planned form you can build a castle. Consistency is your best friend. When you are consistent with foot steps, you can cover the nation.
Romans 5: 3-5 But not only that, let us also boast in our troubles; because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope;5 and this hope does not let us down, because God’s love for us has already been poured out in our hearts through the Ruach HaKodesh who has been given to us.
James 1:2-5 2 Regard it all as joy, my brothers, when you face various kinds of temptations; 3 for you know that the testing of your trust produces perseverance. 4 But let perseverance do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing. 5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
Today: Close your eyes. No really close them. I want you to think and picture you walking. Think of a place you love to walk. The beach, forest, downtown, park, wherever. Imagine yourself enjoying every step. Now picture yourself after walking a long while and look back at the path and our footprints. Without the consistency of one step at a time, you would still be standing where you started. Life is this path. Enjoy every step (even the hard ones, the trip ups and the fall downs) Keep taking the one step in front of you.
Psalms 119:105 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
God gives you enough light to take the next step in you journey. Don’t quit! Trust Him.

Choose this day.
Which hand?
Choose.
You have the power to choose. So which hand?
The greatest gift given to us is choice. We have the power to choose.
The bible lines out many blessing and many curses in Exodus.
Exodus-30:19 “I call on heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have presented you with life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, so that you will live, you and your descendants,”.
This is the statement at the end of the blessings and curses list. That is what we do every day. When a choice comes up, we have to ask ourselves, which one leads to life. Sometimes both choices look pretty good. You have to discern which is the best choice. Often times it is the harder one to do.
Passover is right around the corner.
This is one of the great festivals of God. This is the story of the Exodus. The 10th plague, God tells everyone to place blood from a lamb on the sides and top of the door frame. The people had a choice to make. For those that chose to obey YHVH, they had a pretty good outcome.
Go read the story for yourself.
I’ll link it below.
It’s time to choose what you want your life to be like. It’s up to you and you alone.
Today make a conscious effort to think through your choices. This will help you grow the inner strength to evaluate what is happening right now and for see (however limited) the future outcome. Too many times we just do stuff and don’t have a planned outcome.
So life ends up happening to us instead of us happening to life.

Evidently the best way to make a perfect clay vase is to fail.
A LOT.
I’m not a fan of the term “Fail, but fail forward”. Psychologically, due to our school system of spoon feeding a thought, if we get the wrong answer you fail, don’t pass go, you are a failure… or they spoon feed you the answer to “move” to the next level.
The concept is right. Fail but fail forward. Instead of thinking of your outcomes as pass or fail, they are all “practices”.
John Maxwell tells this story from the book Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking, written by David Bayles and Ted Orland, of a ceramics teacher splitting the class in two groups, A and B.
Group A was to create the perfect vase by the end of the semester. Group B was to make as many vases as they can. Quality doesn’t matter. At the end of the semester both groups brought their vases. Group A, had great plans and technique written on paper, but no vase. Group B presented a perfect clay vase. and a pile of “failed” attempts. Due to group B practicing over and over in the process of “make as many as you can” they got better and better by the end of the semester they did both, a perfect vase and a mass amount of bad vases. Group A was discouraged in their attempt because if they tried to make one and it didn’t come out perfect they couldn’t move forward… They failed. But Group B was focused on making as many as they could and learned from the process of making bad ones how to make the perfect one.
Jon Acuff (This must be a John/Jon thing) calls if “doing reps, in his book “Start”.
Today instead of failing forward, let’s think of it as practicing, let’s practice what our calling is. Will you mess up? Yup. That’s ok, learn from it and do it again and again and again. When you come to the end of the “semester” you will be a pro.

Lucky 13... 13 Could Be The Greatest Number.

Friday 13th OOooooOOO!
I love the number 13.
I actually believe 13 maybe one of the greatest numbers… As Entrepreneurs we need to ask questions, not just take everything for face value. I asked this question some years ago.
Why is 13 so bad. I had to ask this question because it was in one of my dreams and I didn’t get any understanding after the dream. So as I looked into the number, I found a trend.
Warning: What I’m about to say may make you throw something at the screen… As I was researching I asked the questions why is 666 evil, why are certain symbols evil? I stumbled upon this understanding, NOTHING is inherently evil. Entities are but things are not. The reason I’m walking through this is to get you to see that what “seems” to be may not be.
The enemy can NOT create. he has no power to make something out of nothing. he can only take what is, and counterfeit it. Like, the star of David in the occult is the highest of symbols to conjure up evil entities. Why? I believe because of what God placed on it. He placed a special significance on it and the enemy wants to pervert everything God does. And if God places a special significance on his creation you can see why the enemy goes after it.
Here’s one that makes you really think. 9/11… When I say 9/11 what do you think? yeah twin towers. I believe 9/11 in our Gregorian calendar is the date of Messiah Yeshua birth. So makes sense to pervert that day… (I’m not dogmatic on this stance so no hate mail)
Back to the number 13. 13 is held as one of the evil numbers. Why? In a practice of understanding deeper revelation of The Word there is a process called gematria. This form of study is to take each Hebrew letter which doubles as numbers. So Alef (A) the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet (AlefBet Hebrew for alphabet) is also the number 1. Bet (B) is the number 2. But in gematria some letters are given other totals. First 9 letters are numbered accordingly. Next 9 are numbered by 10’s and last 4 are numbered by 100’s.
So let’s take a look at 13. As I was doing my research I came across this understanding. The Bible tells us that God is what? Right, Love. When you take the Hebrew word for love (ahavah) and add the numbers it equals 13… Also the Hebrew word for One (Echad) as in
Deuteronomy 6:4 4 “Sh’ma, Yisra’el! Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, Isra’el! Adonai our God,Adonai is one]; equals 13. So I believe the enemy wants good people to shun the number of Love and His Oneness.
Start today by taking off the blinders of “they” say it this way so it must be… At the end of this life you live, you will be held accountable by the decision you make no matter what you were told. Its up to you to do your best in the decisions you make. Test EVERYTHING! So when you see something that is automatically shunned step back and find out why. You may stumble upon a great find!

Happy Mother Day!! I love you My Bride, the mother of my wonderful kiddos! Love you mama! Thanks for having me, feeding me, and well Thank you for loving my only like a great mom can!
Mothers are pretty important… :-)
I find it interesting that the Holy Spirit calls wisdom a “she”. I think it would behoove everyone to listen to this women. Wisdom is the secret weapon for believers.
Proverbs 4:7 The beginning of wisdom is: get wisdom! And along with all your getting, get insight!
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of Adonai is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holy ones is understanding.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls.
James 1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
Wisdom will protect you from issues and events that show up in the lives of those that reject it. How does one know they are operating in wisdom? That’s the tough part. You don’t “feel” wisdom happening. You have to ask for it, seek it, and gain it from His Word. Once you start to fill yourself with His wisdom, you naturally express wisdom. When it comes time to make that business decision, if you have filled yourself with His wisdom, you will then react in the ways He intends for you.
One place to start is Proverbs. Read 1 chapter a day and in a month you will read the book of proverbs. If you really want to kick it hard core. Also read Psalms, but instead of 1 chapter you need to read 1 chapter then skip 30, and skip 30, skip 30, skip 30 and skip 30. So it will look like this. Chapter 1, 31, 61, 91, 101, 131, 161. This will give you a great understanding of wisdom and the heart of The Father.

Are you ignorant or just stupid?
Now don’t punch me in the face… yet. One thing is true… Ignorance is bliss.
definition of ig·no·rance
ˈiɡnərəns/
noun
lack of knowledge or information.
"he acted in ignorance of basic procedures"
synonyms:
incomprehension of, unawareness of, unconsciousness of, unfamiliarity with, inexperience with, lack of knowledge about, lack of information about;
informalcluelessness about
"a statement that shows a complete ignorance of the regulations"
lack of knowledge, lack of education, unenlightenment, illiteracy;
lack of intelligence, stupidity, foolishness, idiocy
"both ignorance and poverty contribute to the growing problem of forced child labor"
Definition of stupid a : slow of mind : b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason :
My definition of ignorant is: you don’t know what you don’t know…
Stupid is: you have the ability to chose correctly upon information given to you and you do the contrary, for many reasons (mostly excuses).
The bible tells us that God’s people are destroyed for the lack of Knowledge. (Hosea 4:6) It is your fault if you don’t seek out quality information. Always ask questions and keep growing. Never stop this process. Do NOT be afraid to ask questions.
I’m about to give you a statistic that is off the chart accurate… 100% of us 100% of the time don’t know what we don’t know… start asking, reading, learning so you will understand what you might not know. Key to this as believers, the bible, bounce everything you read, hear, see off of what the bible tells us. Also get a group of like minded men or women to bounce ideas off of.
Today pick one book to read. Commit to a close like minded friend that you (and if they would like to) read the entire book. This will put a little pressure on you to finish. You and your friend will then discuss the book. I want you to think about what you’re reading and come up with questions you would like to ask the author. Again this thing we call life is up to you how it turns out.
If you don’t know where to start on the book list. Click the link above to join “The Pac” email list. I give you my recommendations on books, which ones to start with, and my ideas on them. I also give other tips, products that I think will help your growth/endeavors and community information for “The Pac”.

Becoming a drummer made me a better Entrepreneur.
You know the little things you do will have the biggest and most long term effects. I learned this from a great teacher and brother, Josh Tolley. How many of you want to get rid of bad habits? How many want good habits? I’ve read several books that say something to this effect “do this habit for 21, 30, 60, 90 days and it will become a habit that you stick to”. Then they show you a list of studies that show the results to this statement. The only problem with this is, our school system has trained us to believe that we must get the answer right the first time. So in our “knower” when we “try” to have good habits and fail a couple times, we give up. As a drummer I knew I needed to do rudiments to become a good drummer. I didn’t think “I’m going to do them 21, 30, 60, or 90 days and then I will have a great habit of doing rudiments to become a good drummer” I practiced my rudiments A LOT! The practice is what made me a good drummer. When we change the little things in our thinking, it gives us the proper alignment in our mind to achieve the objective. When we fail at something or didn’t get it just right, we need to understand we’re practicing. Keep at it! I mentioned Josh Tolley earlier, one book you need to have in your library (because Entrepreneurs have big libraries and small tvs) is “Evangelpreneur” I have it linked below. Get it. Devour it. Pass it on!

Ok this question will probably cause a knee jerk reaction. But once you hear the question, think it through. Who has done more for humanity, Mother Teresa orrrr Bill Gates.
Hands down Bill Gates has done way more. Know this is not a salvation question or issue, but then again… How many churches, missionaries, christian schools, ministries, etc… use Microsoft products to further the kingdom? Maybe inadvertently Bill has more salvations to his business that Mother Teresa and Billy Graham combined, just maybe.
I believe that Entrepreneurship is the greatest form of ministry. You provide a great product or service to those that NEED and WANT it. They reward you with a currency. That currency allows you to provide an income to employees, those that you purchase equipment from, the piano teacher for your kiddos, the grocer and so on. A traditional ministry nowadays provides a great service, but has to ask for finances to keep doing what they do. What if that ministry needs to give a word of correction in love? Most of the time they can’t for fear of the money leaving. Please don’t tell me this doesn’t happen. I’ve seen this happen first hand many times… It’s sad. (And if your church doesn’t follow this theme that is GREAT!) But if you have an income you are not at the mercy of the donors... If the finances shrink up, the ministry struggles. Not to say that this doesn’t happen to entrepreneurs, the main difference is, the ministry solely depends on others to give, when an entrepreneur has control of his choices to change where the problem lies.
This falls in the 8 levels of Tzedakah (charity). (Link to Tzedakah Vid) The highest is teaching and supporting one to go into business themselves. The other 7 still need to be done, but the greatest impact is entrepreneurship.
So today really think about the good that your business does. Be proud to further the kingdom with your business and being able to send missions or bibles or start schools. It is up to entrepreneurs to spearhead this. I’m going to use the word Josh Tolley coined. You are an “Evangelpreneur”! I will dive into that term a little more in my next video.

The “Secret” of contentment - Keep growing.
You’re just a money chaser. Stop with all that “Entrepreneur Stuff” you should just be Content. Paul said so...
If as Entrepreneurs, we’re supposed to have goals, ambition, moving forward mindset, how are we supposed to be content? Paul tells us the secret of contentment. He said he was in plenty and he was in need, but he was still content. As we travel down this path of Entrepreneurship, we MUST recognize that it is a journey. You are in a growth process. When you have little, be content that this is just a step in the process. When you have plenty, this also is a step in the process to Tikkun Olam through Tzedakah.
You are in a process of growth. That’s the secret... Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I am saying this to call attention to any need of mine; since, as far as I am concerned, I have learned to be content regardless of circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in want, and I know what it is to have more than enough — in everything and in every way I have learned the secret of being full and being hungry, of having abundance and being in need. 13 I can do all things through Him who gives me power.
When you read books, listen to audiobooks, go through online courses, and get coaching and or mentoring, they INCREASE your “account”
What giving does is not take something from you but gets something to you. 17 I am not seeking the gift; rather, I am looking for what will increase the credit balance of your account.
Romans 5:3-5 3 But not only that, let us also boast in our troubles; because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope;5 and this hope does not let us down, because God’s love for us has already been poured out in our hearts through the Ruach HaKodesh who has been given to us.
James (Jacob) 1:2-5 2 Regard it all as joy, my brothers, when you face various kinds of temptations; 3 for you know that the testing of your trust produces perseverance. 4 But let perseverance do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing. 5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
There is a process in our lives. We go through the refining and growing, to bring our true character out. But the secret of success is... Be content in the process. Know that things will change and change often. You are in His will when you seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Tzedakah). In doing this you will see UPs and DOWNS. They are part of the process. Be content and know that the main goal of success is NOT how much money you get, but how you go through life with and without it. Are you truly a slave to the MOST HIGH YHVH or mammon (riches)

You have a superpower. How often do you use it?
Those that exhibit self control are super human. This is one of the hardest attributes to exhibit consistently. But for us to fulfill our destiny as Entrepreneurs, self control is a huge part. Weather it’s self control over, time usage, eating, anger, thought life, prayer time, or even being offended. As believers we have this as a fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23) We need to grab ahold to the Holy Spirit and rely on His strength to grow us up. This is not a “get out of jail” card, we must practice controlling ourselves.
As aspiring entrepreneurs our ability to control ourselves is key to leading a successful life. When you exhibit self control over an issue, situation, or relationship, you exhibit real power. No one or thing can have control over you and your decisions. When we give in to selfishness we now are being controlled by the issue or person. When this happens we no longer can lead effectively.
Self control is the ability to not be affected or controlled be an issue or person. And this does not mean, be anti social. This means you have the ability to chose right no matter the action or temptation being directed at you.
Today take note of the issues or people in your life that you seem to lose “self control” with. Try to grab the temptation and exhibit self control. Start to take every thought captive and realize that you can and will make the right choice to love, respect, (if it’s an issue) yourself and if it’s a person, that person as a creation of The Most High. This will be something that you will develop more and more the rest of your life. Do not get frustrated the moment you lose it. Practice, practice, practice… you will get stronger.

Next to time, the words you speak and think will determine the path you travel. This topic I believe in so much that I wrote an mini interactive ebook on it.
After time, heaven and earth were created, God spoke. He created His reality with the words He spoke. And if we’re created in His likeness, we have the same creative power in our words.
There is now way for me to explain this topic in just a few minutes. I’ve put a link to my free ebook above. I ask for your email so I can send you the book. Also those that grab the ebook will go on “The Pac” email list. Being apart of this list I share other tips and insider projects and events.
I found myself going 1 step forward and 2 or 3 steps back. No I’m not talking about country dancing. When I “country dance” It’s more like interpretive dancing… It’s bad, real bad! My poor wife...
I’m referring to, my day to day life. Whether it was in my marriage, with my kiddos, or my businesses. I would move one step in the right direction and then all of a sudden, I was 2 steps back. Sooo frustrating. I FINALLY had a breakthrough when I practiced the info in my book The Stout Truth.
What happens before you speak? What happens before ANY action or reaction? You have a thought whether you know it or not …
Speaking Life or positive words, is the foundation to your Legacy, but the steel reinforcement in the foundation, is, your thought life.
To maximize the power of your words, your thoughts NEED to be inline or in-tune with your words.
Our minds and thoughts are bombarded with negative influence. The ratio of negative vs. positive is extremely out of whack… We’re sorely in need of help. The info in this my book will jump start you down the positive path.
Action step is get my book and put the principles of speaking your future to work today.

Time was the First thing YHVH created. It kinda might be important…
In the beginning God… The first thing God created was time. To have a beginning you must have time first. Time is the only commodity that will be spent and never gotten back.
The avos of a thing is the Hebraic understand of the Law of First. Which in short means the first of a thing births or gives way for the rest.
The very first thing God created was time. “In the beginning” Genesis 1:1... To have a beginning there must be time. God gave each of us the same amount of time in each day. Check this out.
Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every night at 11:59:59 the bank account is emptied and at 12:00 am you receive a new amount of $86,400.00
Each day you have full control of the use of that money. You can’t keep it, but you can use it to better your life. So what would you do with that money every day?
I would use it to its full capacity to better my family and my life. I would make sure that I planed for each dollar to do a specific job.
Here’s the thing...
Each of us has such a bank account . Instead of money it is TIME which is way more valuable.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running!! Make the most of today.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it’s called the present.
Do you waste time, are you in a growing time, do you need to leverage your time?
We must understand that time is a very precious gift God gives us. In “time” we plant the seeds of who we are to be. Make sure you plant good seed, so that the person 5 years from now thanks you.
There is so much more to be learned about the importance of time that there is now way to do it justice in a short video. I encourage you to start today and plan as much of your time as you can to impact your future in a great way.

The world owes you NOTHING.
The only thing you owe to the world is LOVE.
Respect and love are not reciprocal. They are given with no return expected. If you have this backwards you will always be disappointed in humanity. When you deal with people, you… deal with people.
This is a very trying process. It is in us to demand love and respect. But the fact of the matter is we have no right to demand it. Love and Respect are NOT reciprocal. If that was the case we wouldn’t have dictators, cruel individuals, or hurt folks. If love was reciprocal, we could walk up to those mentioned and show them respect and love and they would automatically do the same… but we all know that this is not the case.
It takes us as entrepreneurial believers to show respect and love to all, before they ever give us anything, good or bad. The hard part is, when those that are hurt don’t show the same respect or love. This is where the fight happens in us. We decide and IT IS a decision, to respect and love them no matter their response… Yes way easier said than done. But when you develop this muscle your character will be tested and proved. At that point you will lack nothing.
James 1:4 But let perseverance do its complete work; so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing.
Today determine that you will be the change agent. You will show respect to all and give love freely. This doesn’t mean let everyone walk all over you, Love as you love yourself. If someone hurts you, seek God and ask for Him to work that pain out of you and ask God to bless those that hurt and use you. This will definitely take some work. But commit to it today and grow through the process.

I can’t really think of anything worse than standing at the end of your life and looking back to see that you were never the real you. You just blended into the crowd. You never stood for what you believed in. You just existed.
As entrepreneurs, you must, be authentic and can not be double minded. To be two people in your mind will lead you to being tossed around by every wind. Be comfortable with yourself. This will take some onion peeling. Many of us have covered up who we really are that we have almost forgotten the real us. Listen and follow these scriptures and the real you will come back to life.
Proverbs 10:9 tells us: He who walks purely walks securely, but he who walks in crooked ways will be found out.
2 Corinthians 1:12 says: For we take pride in this: that our conscience assures us that in our dealings with the world, and especially with you, we have conducted ourselves with frankness and godly pureness of motive — not by worldly wisdom but by God-given grace.
Luke 11:34 says: The lamp of your body is the eye. When you have a ‘good eye,’ [that is, when you are generous,] your whole body is full of light; but when you have an ‘evil eye,’ [when you are stingy,] your body is full of darkness.
James 1:12 says: How blessed is the man who perseveres through temptation! For after he has passed the test, he will receive as his crown the Life which God has promised to those who love him.
Action step:
Commit to you and your family that you will be who you are meant to be in Messiah. Make a conscious effort to follow 2 Corinthians 1:12 and deal with the world, with frankness and godly pureness of motive. Take the small steps of honestly seeking the betterment of others as well for you. This process should benefit both parties.

The truth about charity.
The helping hand needs to help not enable. 8 levels of giving. Work your way to the top. Let’s be the change agents for Tikkun Olam.
Tzedakah: It literally means Righteousness and or Justice. But those that practice Judaism, they probably understand it to mean “charity”. And when we understand what righteousness and justice are, charity is a good fit.
So we don’t walk down another path, in short, to do righteousness, is to do right things or be in right standings. When we do the right things, it often, is linked with helping those around you.
A man nicknamed Rambam, was and is one of the most looked to wisdom teachers of ancient literature. He devoted his life to learning this wisdom totally. He gives us a “structure” of “charity” we can do and how they might rank. The ranking system is based on how much shame is invoked.
For instance, if you were to hand $10 to someone needing it, that would be the 3rd lowest rank of giving. It invokes shame on the one receiving, (Acts 20:35 In everything I have given you an example of how, by working hard like this, you must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Yeshua himself, ‘There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.) due to them not being able to take care of their family or themselves. The ancient Hebrew understanding of shame is equal to murder.
NOTE: It is still good, to give in that manner, but there are better ways to provide help. Rambam came up with 8 levels. The one of the lowest I just mentioned.
Here are the levels of giving:
1. Giving an interest-free loan to a person in need; forming a partnership with a person in need; giving a grant to a person in need; finding a job for a person in need; so long as that loan, grant, partnership, or job results in the person no longer living by relying upon others.
2. Giving tzedakah anonymously to an unknown recipient via a person (or public fund) which is trustworthy, wise, and can perform acts of tzedakah with your money in a most impeccable fashion.
3.Giving tzedakah anonymously to a known recipient.
4. Giving tzedakah publicly to an unknown recipient.
5. Giving tzedakah before being asked.
6. Giving adequately after being asked.
7. Giving willingly, but inadequately.
8.Giving "in sadness" (giving out of pity): It is thought that Maimonides was referring to giving because of the sad feelings one might have in seeing people in need (as opposed to giving because it is a religious obligation). Other translations say "Giving unwillingly."
The highest/greatest is, (which invokes the least of shame) giving individuals the chance and ability to go into business for themselves. It’s the old proverb “give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he can feed his family.” But this greatest level of Tzedakah takes it a bit further, we are to teach them how to use a boat with a net!
Now they can impact the community and change the world. Change the world? Isn’t that taking it a bit far? Not really. When you help someone in dire need, you changed their world. Tikkun Olam.
Today start up the ladder of Tzedakah. Find a way to help others out of the whole they’re in. If you think giving money to someone will turn into drugs, alcohol, or some other issue, give them a educational book (I’ve got a free one The Stout Truth), food and some of your time to talk about the book. Let’s Repair the World with our good deeds. Tikkun Olam.

God trusts us to repair a broken world. Whoa! It’s up to us. God trust us to be His hands and feet. Be Him… Love.
Tikkun Olam. A jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world. The phrase is found in the Mishnah, a body of classical rabbinic teachings.
This phrase is not a direct commandment from God, rather, it is an implied commandment. Do unto other as you would have them do unto you, love your neighbor like you love yourself, the only debt you owe is to love one another. These are the direct commandments that encompass this phrase.
The idea is, be the light and salt of The Most High. Help, true help (not the “hey look at me” help) others. Seek out, Search for, Hunt for those that need help.
Every day we as believers in Messiah Yeshua should make it a direct effort to impact someone's life for the better. Remember the 8 levels of Tzedakah. Also do the little things like, hold the door open for others, smile at people, (it’s amazing how much a smile will change others around you) complement the server on their job, (be legit don’t fake this, they’ll know).
The main objective is to do the good and right things to better those that you live life with however limited the interaction is. As entrepreneurs and Christians that is one of our main concerns of every day. Be the helping hand of God Almighty.
So today think of one thing you can do for someone that will help them out. Do this every day. Make a strong effort to look for those that need help. Big or small.
In doing this, as believers and entrepreneurs will be sowing seed into our future harvest. And don’t let this be the driving factor or you will burn out. Do this in hopes of those you interact with will see the light and love of Yeshua.
Live a life of “Tikkun Olam” and you will lead many to the Messiah Yeshua. And this is ultimate goal for our entrepreneurial endeavors.

More than just a pep rally. Let’s determine today that we will fulfill what God created us to do. Face fear down and run with all our might straight at it...
To many of us today have these “dreams”. Dreams of starting a business, building a school, sending missionaries overseas etc… Sadly enough most of those dreams are just that… a dream, never coming to fruition. I want to help you take the steps to Awaken Your Dream and turn it into your Legacy.
The first step is… Why?
Why? No really, Why?
This is the question you need to ask yourself today. What is my why? Why are you here on earth. What is the specifics of your life?
I would venture to say that the good majority of us have no idea what our “why“ is. I bet the question that runs through your mind is, What is a “Why?” God created each of us with a specific uniqueness, like our iris, finger prints, the number of hair or lack thereof on our heads. Even the variances in our voice is specifically ours. If God made you a “one of a kind” would He have a specific plan and destiny for your life? Of course!
Well how do you go about finding out what this “destiny” is? There are a few ways to go about it. One way is to find a burning bush, another is hide out in a cave (but if you don’t like earthquakes, fire, and tornadoes I’d pass on this one).
Or you can do a evaluation of your life. This will take some time and may frustrate you a bit. You need to KNOW why you want to do what you want to do.
For me my why is:
Providing a life and lifestyle for my family and me that doesn’t not diminish our time and experience together. And be the helping vesle for those that desire to grow into entrepreneurs and build their legacy. I stand on this moto “Tikkun Olam through Tzedakah” I will dive deeper into this phrase in later videos.
So what I do has to line up with this why. If the work I do takes too much of my time, that I don’t get to enjoy time with my wife and kiddos, homeschool, hang out, play and doesn’t help build individuals legacy’s I don’t need to focus on it.
Does that mean you quit your job if it doesn’t allow you to line up with your why? No. At least not yet. For a time I had to put in a lot of work to be able to follow my why. But it was just for a time. If what you’re doing doesn’t lead to an outcome of your desired “why” don’t waste time on it.
Just like when you wake up, it takes you a minute (for some SEVERAL minutes) to waken fully. This will be a process. It will take A LOT of work to do, but the results are so worth it.
Romans 8:18 18 I don’t think the sufferings we are going through now are even worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us in the future.
So dig in take a piece of paper out and evaluate what your why is. Be thorough. This is your future you dealing with. Take your time and ask questions.
Let’s Awaken Your Dream!

I want to share my vision for this channel:
Many years ago I had a series of dreams, and in the last of those, I saw my purpose, my destiny, and what I was to accomplish. The last thing I saw as the sun was setting in the dream, was a city full of beautiful high end skyscrapers. These skyscrapers represent Legacies. Maybe Your legacy... I had an overwhelming sense of deep gratitude that I helped build each one. I believe YHVH speaks to us through dreams and desires.
My desire is, to see YOU take the step to be free. Take the step to change YOUR future. Take the step to build a Legacy that YOU can now pass down to your children and their children… I want to see YOU Awaken Your Dream.
When you look back 5 years from now, what do you want to see? You will spend the same amount of time and energy either building your legacy or building someone else’s. Break free of the cycle, gain an asset, that no one can take from you.
The greatest form of Charity, is to teach individuals how to be Entrepreneurs. When those that grow and develop into Entrepreneurs, they now can take care of their family, provide jobs and impact their community. This is my goal.
I want to teach and coach you to become a Entrepreneur, and likewise you teach others how to do the same. The old parable “Give a man a fish, he eats for the day, teach a man to fish, he eats for life” is good but I want to take it a bit farther and show YOU how to use a boat and a net to create a business, which allows you to have a greater impact on lives you interact with.
My business plan is founded on this idea. I use the Hebrew words, Tikkun Olam through Tzedakah. Which means Repair the world through charity.
So it’s time. It is time for you to get your story out. It is time for you to build your Legacy. It is time for you to Awaken Your Dream. Follow along with me, Subscribe to this channel, and I’ll show you... You can do it!
And Always Remember We’re Going Up!
