A side hustle won’t save you!

Hey Reader, Last fall, I was pretty stressed. There were so many things I didn’t get done. I pushed hard. I was in hustle mode. I started daily newsletters as well as daily videos. I was pushing so hard—it felt like I was lifting the rock of my business by hand. Trying to walk up the stairs. With the hustle mode mindset,it felt like every step I took, I was falling one step behind. I couldn’t keep it up. So—I stopped. I stopped writing a newsletter. Stopped posting to YouTube. I took a step…

I see this every day online. People struggling to get a client. Struggling to make money. I have been there before. Aiming to reach a monthly income, ready for the harvest — and then coming up empty. No income. No clients. Just crickets. I thought I had good product. But in reality, I was more focused on what I would get out than what I gave. I didn’t actually sow any seeds.

Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece. There was an empty space. When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle. It…

Hey Reader, How often have you heard:“But he did it first!” Many kids justify their actions as reactions.They say, look at the other person… they are so much worse than I am. We see this today with adults, too—when they put blame on others as an excuse for their bad behavior. It makes me sad to see it in the news every day: “I’m not to blame.” “He was already doing it.” “I’m not as bad as he is.” These are all statements of giving back what you’ve received—with the point of escape or…

From Ownership to Stewardship How often have I walked through the world thinking that it all was mine? My things belong to me. It already starts with the young children. They have a hard time sharing their toys. It’s really difficult for them to share. Job says:“God gives. God takes away. Praise the Lord.” For a long time, I didn’t understand how he could say something like that. When I started to work on the Present Provider Concept, I started thinking about the foundation. Why am I trying…
