An Inspiration from Chicago

You know it is crucial to success to set goals, right?

Well on my list of goals for 2008 was “See Chicago perform live with at least one of my children.”

The band, not the city.

We don’t listen to a lot of rock music but personally, I believe the genius in the music of Chicago is evidence of the creativity of God.

Well guess what?

Last weekend when I was in Chicago at eBay Live with my son Drew, who sells houses and now backhoes, on eBay, the band Chicago just happened to be in concert with the Doobie Brothers less than a mile from the conference center!

So Drew and I went with our friends!

It was marvelous, to say the least!

God met my goal even BEFORE I asked as Matthew 6:8 says He will, “Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” All I did was put it on my list of goals for this year.

It wasn’t even something I needed; it was just something sentimental that I wanted.

Just like the ball I bought for my 12 year old son last week that continues to make him happy, sometimes God gives us non-essentials just to bless us.

It is important to set goals because when vision for your life finally rises out of your common life, you (and God) have something to work with. God (and you) have something measurable to aim at so you and others who are watching can experience His reality.

Until you get that vision, indecision and the lack of direction can paralyze you.

When I was in high school, I played trumpet in a Stage Band that played ‘50s and ‘60s classics and ‘70s songs from groups like Chicago … and I came to love them.

Years later while I was in college at Auburn, I won two free tickets to see Chicago and I discovered, their music was even better live.

Through the years, I’ve been amazed at how many hits the group has created, even though some of the members have changed.

Since 1967, they have created 30 albums, 12 of which were Top Ten albums. Five were #1.

They have sold more than 120 million records and had 20 Top Ten singles.

And as of June 2008, they are still traveling across the country and performing on live stages everywhere with the Doobie Brothers.

Now I’m not advocating that anyone listen to rock music. I just want to know, “How on earth have they done that?”

Well, I think I’ve figured out their secret.

1. They wrote one 3-5 minute song, recorded it, marketed it and played it over and over again to live crowds.
2. They wrote one 3-5 minute song, recorded it, marketed it and played it over and over again to live crowds.
3. They wrote one 3-5 minute song… until they had 30 albums.

Now, over 40 years later, all they have to do is show up and do what they love: perform.

Is that amazing or what?

So here’s my word of encouragement from this little story from the world we live in for you.

If you have a message to give others or a talent to share, just write, record, market and give it one time.

Set deadlines for yourself. Weed your life of useless activities that steal your time. Prune your life of good things that keep you from creating the great masterpiece that only you can create.

Focus until you’re finished.

Don’t live a mundane seemingly purposeless life like others around you often do. Set up a system, then do it again.

Before you know it, you will be well on your way to accomplishing your goals. And that’s just one way of creating financial freedom.

You may even change the world… or just the world of music.

Chicago has survived longer than many other bands for several reasons.

1. They are unique and their sound is different because of their brass section.

2. Although they have had many wonderful lead singers, they didn’t feature just one.

3. They have created many Top 40 hits that produce passive income.

4. They are still doing what they love.

So if you want to write that masterpiece that can change the world, do what Chicago has done.

And remember what God thinks of you, “You’re my inspiration.”

He created you, He inspires you so do something spectacular with Him and through Him and His glory will live through your masterpiece forever.


So many books, so little time…

How God Answered 4 Prayers in 1 Afternoon

Last Monday, I had to fly to Las Vegas for one of Armand Morin’s mastermind meetings. (You can’t imagine what this like until you experience it.)

I’ve had an unusually high volume of interactions with Murphy lately which means my team and I must be doing something right!

But just as I was trying to leave, friends and family members were calling to chat, secretaries were making unbelievable mistakes that had to be corrected before I left and I was severely behind schedule.

So as I jumped into my car and headed for the airport in Nashville two hours away, I prayed… as I usually do.

I prayed for protection on the road from crazy drivers. (I really pray that; ask my kids.)

I prayed for Wendell to keep all the kids busy and safe (as in, at least know where they all are) while I’m gone.

And I prayed for 4 specific things:

1. A parking space near Shuttle Stop #1.

2. The shuttle to come as soon as I got there.

3. No line at the Sky Cap when I checked in.

4. The plane to be late.

As I was sitting at a dead stop way too long at traffic light after traffic light, I remembered to pray for the 5 o’clock traffic in Nashville that usually starts about 3.

I really wanted to stop to get my nails done but the road construction was so frustrating that I was afraid I would miss my flight. So I waved as I drove past my favorite nail salon.

The whole time, I never ever got upset or frantic.

(My kids won’t believe that because I ALWAYS act like there’s a fire somewhere.)

Hey, life is short so cram in as much fun and excitement as possible, right?

So guess how this story ends?

I got to Nashville about 30 minutes behind schedule in just enough time for me to catch the plane… but not my luggage.

I flew into the economy parking lot and headed straight for Shuttle Stop #1, even though the entire parking lot was packed.

Guess what?

Right across from the Shelter #1 was ONE empty parking space!
It was literally about 8 steps from the shelter.

Answered Prayer #1.

So I whipped into the parking space, grabbed my purse, got my two bags out of the trunk and rolled them over to the shelter.

I locked the car and started shuffling through my purse to find my license and ticket when the shuttle pulled up!

I hadn’t even heard it coming, but there it was!

Answered Prayer #2.

So I took the shuttle to the Southwest Skycap and guess what?

You guessed it!

Although there were people checking all along the desk, I walked up and one of the young men looked at me and waved me to him.

Answered Prayer #3.

I quickly asked, “Will my luggage make this flight?”

And he replied, “Well, not only will your luggage make it but you will too. You have an hour and half delay.”

Answered Prayer #4.

Now normally I wouldn’t rejoice over my plane being that late because I usually schedule my flights a bit close.

But this time, I was thrilled and told him, “Well, I guess that means I have time to get a manicure!”

And I headed off to make Miss Delores at the nail salon my new Best Friend.

So technically, that wasn’t an answered prayer request because I never asked, but you know what? God knows the desires of our hearts and he often fulfills them even before we ask!

In this case, He did.

I even had time to get a pedicure!

God just got Bonus Points in my book!

(Hey, it’s okay for busy moms to reward themselves every once in a while. You’ve got to find ways to relieve that stress that works for you or else the constant stress of Life with Many Kids may affect you... and others.)

How do you think I learned that?

(Don’t let anyone put you under condemnation about treating yourself to something special occasionally. They are clueless about your life if they do.)

Anyway, when we finally boarded the plane, there were a bunch of unhappy flyers who were ready to be where they were going.

I failed to mention to them that I had asked for this extension!

All this is to encourage you that if you have a need in your life, don’t carry the burden by yourself. Give it to God.

He cares for you. He wants to bless you. He wants to increase you.
And He wants to use you.

You are here for a reason and it is to glorify Him in all you do, whatever that is.

If you need help finding your purpose in life, consider attending our annual home business conference. That’s what we do.

My Dedication to Helping Fathers

As we honor fathers across this land on Father’s Day this weekend, I have to admit that I have been feeling truly sorry for them lately.

We live in the richest country in the world.

We are more educated than any other people on earth have ever been.

We dominate the most cutting-edge invention of all time – the Internet, yet way too many highly educated fathers can’t pay their monthly bills.

And although this country is heading for bankruptcy, just like in the days of the Depression, those who were prepared for hard times, thrived. Those who weren’t, jumped out of windows.

With the cost of gas rising daily and political change about to overtake the White House, who can guess what is about to happen in our economy?

How can this be?

Well, I think there are several factors to attribute this to but here’s one of the main ones.

Our government educational system doesn’t tailor education to fulfill the calling of the individual. That’s fine because that’s not really its purpose.

Parents, however, are supposed to be responsible for helping their young people find their direction, especially the father.

But somewhere in our recent history, we’ve delegated that duty to the state so now the state prepares men and women to work for it.

That IS the purpose of government education and it does a decent job.

But… what if you want to actually find fulfillment in what you do and desire to live a quality life with 5, 10 or 15 children, many grandchildren and your extended family members (all which can be expensive), while also blessing others?

Do the math on THAT bill.

Then imagine the stress.

(Maybe you don’t have to imagine it. Maybe you already live with it.)

I am really concerned about the weight that so many fathers bear on their shoulders these days.

And I am dedicated to helping as much as I can. My oldest son and I worked together to bring our dad home and I want to help you do the same.

Imagine how you could help those around you if you only knew exactly what you are supposed to be doing on this earth so you could tap into the power of God ASAP and channel the abundant blessings He has waiting for you to those who truly need them.

Just imagine.

Then imagine the cost of starting all over again with a new career AFTER you’ve found out that the one you fell into won’t provide for your basic needs… or give you the fulfillment that doing a good job with what you love brings.

The question you have to ask yourself then is this, “What can I do to change the situation?”

If you seriously need to do something different, there are three things you must do.

1. Get vision for YOUR life.

You won’t get that from watching CNN or hiding in online video games.

2. Get specific education.

You won’t get education on how to make money from government schools. That is not their purpose.

Yes, you can go back to college and spend 4 more years learning another trade or getting another degree, but you won’t be much closer to your goal than you are now. They don’t teach you the principles of success in college. They prepare you to have a job.

How do you think I know that?

3. You’ve got to take action as soon as possible to solve the problem.

Waiting won’t make it better. If you don’t do something now, you won’t be any better off a year from now.

Proverbs 4:7 says, “The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.”

The problem is, where are the men and women who understand how to make money who should be directing fathers to help their teens make wise decisions?

Why aren’t the fathers of this land qualified to help their children directly?

Could it be possible that they lack vision, education and positive action? Hmm….

So we find ourselves knee-deep in debt and struggling frantically just to keep up while the flood waters of the economy are rising faster than the water in the streets of Cedar Rapids.

We’d better do something quick.

So here is my solution to getting the vision you need to get started.

I have invited a handful of millionaires who understand how to make money in a variety of ways to teach you about what they do at our annual home business conference in Atlanta.

We’ve been hosting this event that started in my home for 8 years now.

You can spend a full 3-day weekend with these men of understanding and ask them your questions. Take one of them to dinner.

They can give you the vision you don’t have.

They can teach you things you don’t even know exist.

Not many people can do that.

But in order for them to help you, you have to meet them.

So if you are serious about finding your direction in life, pray about this seriously. The Lord has put this together for you.

I am God’s Virtual Assistant on earth. I am one of his event planners on earth. He is the boss; I just make the arrangements for Him.

If you want to change your life, here’s one place to start:

http://www.entrepreneurdays.com/

It may not be easy to make it happen, but hey, what are your options?

Read this page, and then plan to join us. And don’t forget to bring your teens. You’ll kick yourself once you get there and see what they’ve missed.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us and we’ll call you.

Just visit our site - http://www.entrepreneurdays.com/ – and click on Contact Us.

I am serious about changing this country.

I am serious about helping moms and dads.

Picture me as a redneck home school mom from the backside of nowhere driving through the floodwaters of Cyberspace in a monster truck coming to rescue you.

You’ve heard the joke about the guy on the rooftop in the flood who prays to God for help, then refuses to take the helping hand of two different guys in boats and a ladder hanging from a helicopter just before he drowns.

Well, here comes that ladder again.

Grab it before it’s too late!

who wants you to meditate on the words of theologian Cotton Mather who believed in teaching children to serve their God with a trade

P.S. No matter what’s happening in your life, forget about it all for just one day and have a happy Father’s Day!

20 Statements
By Cotton Mather

1. I will resolve to do all I can that my child may be the Lord’s.
2. I will encourage my child to every day cry to God that He would be the child’s Father, and Saviour, and Leader.
3. I will pray for my child daily.
4. I will read the Bible to my child and tell the stories of the Bible to them.
5. I will teach my child to memorize Scripture.
6. I will teach my child the Catechism.
7. I will teach my child to pray.
8. I will teach my child to be kind.
9. I will teach my child to read and write. I will direct their reading and talk with them about what they have read.
10. My yoke will be light. I will wholly avoid that harsh, fierce, crabbed usage of the children that would make them tremble and abhor to come into my presence. I will always proportion the chastisements to the miscarriages; neither smiting bitterly for a very small piece of childishness nor frowning only a little for some real wickedness.
11. I will teach my child to love Christ.
12. I will encourage my child to speak with me about the state of their soul.
13. I will be careful about my children’s companions.
14. I will discuss the sermons we hear with my child.
15. I will use the opportunities of Days of Humiliation, Days of Thanksgiving, and particularly birthdays to talk about the works of God.
16. I will use the opportunity of trouble, sickness or pain to remind them to be mindful of Christ and eternity.
17. I will teach my child a trade or business.
18. I will show my children that their main end must be to acknowledge the great God, and His glorious Christ; and bring others to acknowledge Him.
19. I will oblige the children to retire sometimes, and ponder on that question: “What shall I wish to have done, if I were now a-dying”?
20. I will endeavor to see my child espoused to the Saviour first, then I will help them as I can for their best accommodation in the married state.

Income Is a Spam Word

You may have noticed that I often spell “income” as “in come.” That’s because it’s one of the many, many G Rated spam words.

So in order to get it through the spam filters when mass emailing, I separate the syllables.

Usually if you do that or try to disguise it with all kinds of symbols such as * or ^ or . or anything, the filters will mark it as “disguised spam word.”

So pardon my seemingly inaccurate spelling but mailing to a bunch of folks at one time has its rules.

That’s why I take courses from folks like Stu McLaren because on the Internet, the rules are always changing!

When Your Kids Ask You to Go, Go!

Drew has been selling backhoes on eBay lately and making a great profit on each one.

That’s besides the houses and junk he’s still listing.

So this year he decided to go to eBay Live in Chicago in a few weeks to learn more.

The other day, he casually asked me if I wanted to go with him since he is going by himself.

Now, to go to a big city like Chicago is not this country girl’s favorite thing to do.

To book an expensive hotel room there is not my idea of a good investment.

And to book a flight this close to the departure date doesn’t seem very economical at all.

But when your 26 year old son asks you to join him at a professional event where he hopes to learn more about his interests and meet experts who can introduce him to others and to concepts that will take his business forward, should I say “no”?

I weighed the costs.

I weighed the eternal value of spending a weekend with my married son at yet another conference.

(I’ve escorted him to many since he was 18.)

And I determined (through God’s direction, of course) that even though this oldest son has already left home and has a family of his own, he is one of my top priorities in life.

So this year, I will be going to eBay Live with Drew.

And we will be hanging out there with our new sponsors from Powerteam International and Franklin Covey.

We also have plans to meet with one of the speakers from our upcoming conference EntrepreneurDays.com, Kerim Emre, who is one of the featured speakers there.

Kerim is a Titanium PowerSeller who has created a system and ships 5,000 items per day!

So I think this event might just be eventful for us.

If you want to go, I’d love to meet you there… if you can make it!

To learn more about eBay Live, just go to

http://pages.ebay.com/ebaylive/

To learn more about the only professional conference that you can take teens to, to learn about creating passive income through home business and investing, go here:

This will be one awesome event!

I’d love to meet you at either one … or both!
