40 years ago I met my wife Robin and in a few weeks we will be celebrating our anniversary! 39 years ago I started my first business. Four years ago, I started View from the Top! And God has blessed me in this business. But today, I want to give a shout out to the guy who got me all systematized and organized, Scott Beebe of My Business On Purpose.

Let's think strategically how we can go about living a better life. I’m not a big health guy you know, what I’m saying, I mean, don't take that wrong, I want to be in good health but what I mean is I'm not your seven-day-a-week workout guy, who watches every single bite I put in my mouth. I’m not that kind of guy but I do want to be in great shape. I do want to take care of myself and praise God I'm healthy! I want to encourage you not to be that guy that just goes nutso and gets rid of everything in exercises seven days a week and you'll burn out. You all hold that pace. You just won't do it but getting an accountability partner - - - somebody that will help you and train you and teach you to live a balanced life. A life that is pleasing to you and to your family. God gave you one body. When it's gone it's gone and we need to take care of it.

I'd like to encourage you today when you're doing deals, think through what the real cost is. Not only as it relates to the financial loss but what it could pertain to as it relates to your reputation. We are people of character. We have integrity and we need to stick to our word regardless of the financial outcome. When you're faced with dilemmas think about what your character is worth and go forward and make the right decision.

I don't know of a day that goes by that I don't get told I just can't get motivated. Well, I want to encourage you today, motivation is not what you need because motivation is an exhaustible resource. It is something that you're going to use, it's going to get you out of the gate but it is not gonna sustain you long term. Let me tell you what we do in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind group about three years ago. We read the 12-week year and I know I've talked about it over and over and over - - - I'll continue to talk about it over and over because it works! Brian Moran is a great guy and he's got a great system that he's developed and we've been implemented it into our mastermind group. I want to tell you the results are outstanding!
The reason that you can't get motivated is you don't have a plan. You don't need motivation if you have a plan and the benefits are really exponential! I can't even begin to tell you the benefits when you structure your day that way. There's no telling how much more I get done every single day because I have a plan. I know exactly what I'm going to do each and every day and because I have this plan there's greater success in more areas.
Listen, if you talk to me in the future don't tell me I can't get motivated because what you need is a plan.

Say what you mean and mean what you say - - - We don't do that often times even in the workplace and even at home. I see this over and over and over the lack of consistency. I see this primarily with parents with young children and they wonder sometimes why their children kind of get away with some things that they probably shouldn’t. It is because we don’t exercise the authority that God gave us over the children and we just disallow ourselves from making those tough calls and then our children misbehave and they grow up in a world not realizing that people mean what they say. I want to encourage you today to mean what you say say what
you mean and follow through.
