What keeps us on the sidelines?
We've all heard it said there is no better investment than in yourself. In today's episode, Jamie and Ruthie talk about how only 25% of people actually do this. Are you in the percentage of people who invest in themselves or in the majority of the 75% that don't? If you not investing in yourself don't worry it's never too late to start. Jamie and Ruthie share ways to start investing in your personal development today.
Resource of the episode. Jeff Olsen The slight edge
In this episode, Jamie and Ruthie share a process of 5 simple steps to achieving a goal. Instead of calling this goal-setting, they call it "going after what you want"
Step 1: identify what you want. This first step is crucial. Be specific and define it. Example. I want to lose 10 lbs by September 1st, or I want to sell my car by next week.
Step 2: Research/resources
A. Learn about the topic
B. learn about the Obstacles
C. Time & Investment. (What is the cost of pursuing your goal)
D. Who's done this well? Find the others and mentors that will help you on the journey.
Step 3 Commit to the plan.
At this point, you can choose to step back or commit. If you are committed then you're all in! Use the words "I commit" Those words are powerful. Congratulations!
Jim Rohn says " If you really want to do something you'll find a way or you'll find an excuse."
Step 4
Work the plan- Trust the process you built intentionally.
This is the step where the work is done. Don't overthink the outcome. Yes, it's ok to desire the goal but focus more on what you can control. Work on the daily and weekly tasks in the plan. You can't guarantee the results but you can control what you do now! Walk in integrity and do the simple small tasks you put in your plan.
Step 5
Evaluate & Celebrate
Course correct the plan as you learn what works. Iterate your daily and weekly tasks. Also celebrate! Reward yourself as you move through the process.

Where phase are you in?
1-Dream & Design Phase: What's possible? Creative process as you imagine what your life could look like? Allow yourself to be playful. Open yourself up to new resources.
2-Demo Phase: Executing phase. Saying yes to move toward a new life means tearing down walls and removing the unnecessary junk. Purging & pruning.
3-Difficulty Phase: Hitting a wall. This is where a couple might call it quicks. Dealing with conflict. Running out of steam. Needing the support of others and God's help. Dan Miller calls it "the sick chicken phase." Kirk Franklin song "My Life is In Your Hands"
4-The Determined Phase: Homestretch. Almost done. Mini-celebration. We see the light.
5-Done Phase. Celebrate completion. Accomplished project.

You know what it feels like to walk in the dark? How trekking through a new forest at night without a flashlight can send a chill down your spine?
You hear shaking in the trees or a howl in the distance.
Not to mention, you don’t know where your headed and can’t see where you’re going. This is how it feels to go through life without a mentor.
A few weeks ago, we read a “Create your own Adventure” book to our four children. It was all about this group of young hikers going up Mount Everest.
They were skilled at hiking but new to Everest. If they hiked alone, death was inevitable. So they needed a guide, a mentor. In mountain climbing, it’s called a Sherpa.
Mentors can serve as guides or sherpas in any area of our life.
In this week’s podcast, we talk about how important is it to seek out mentors. In our life, we’ve had all types of mentors.
Just to give you an idea, here’s a list of a few:
Marriage
Parenting
Business
Finances
Homeschooling
Spiritual
Physical Health
Sports or Hobbies
If you feel like you’re walking through life in the dark and alone, listen to this week’s episode The Value of Mentorship.
You’ll learn why finding a mentor is not only important but a must if you’re looking to build a strong foundation for your family and business.
Changing your life can start today.
