Self-Improvement

In business, when you are trying to scale, people will often say that it's not just about what you know, but who you know. However, adopting this mindset can sometimes lead to a sense of desperation that is easily spotted by successful leaders. As we continue our series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scriptures," I want to pose to you this question: "Is Your Hunger Working Against You?" In today's episode, we'll delve into Proverbs 23:1-4. These verses advise us to be wise in our interactions with influential people, and to not let our being “hungry” get the best of us. While it's imperative to assess the value of potential investors or business partners at the table, it's equally important for us to remember our personal value to not appear desperate in the room. This episode will teach you the dos and don’ts of doing business with influential people. Also — Called Family, this Friday and Saturday, the Called to Illuminate conference in Los Angeles is happening, and as of now there are only a few seats left! We are just about sold out for our VIP experience and have a few standard seats remaining. If you're on the fence, take a leap of faith to be in the room. We'll be sharing practical tools, business wisdom, and insights to equip you along your entrepreneurial and leadership journey. Register now at www.calledleaders.com/events.

Is Your Hunger Working Against You?

As leaders, each day of the week holds a different meaning for us all. Mondays typically motivate us to start the week strong and full of productivity, while Fridays may be a bit slower as many of us begin to prepare for a weekend of events or business travel. Regardless of the day, every day carries a weight of its own. However, there is one day that is most profitable when utilized correctly and consistently. Today, I'll provide more insight into the day I'm referring to and explain how beneficial it can be when you prioritize it weekly. Family, we are just weeks away from Called to Illuminate! I'm excited to announce that we have partnered with Microsoft to bring you some amazing giveaways and resources. We'll be giving away 30 entry-level tickets to business and non profit leaders.

The Most Profitable Day of the Week

Called Family, we are back for Week 2 of our new series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scripture." In business and life, we're often encouraged to never settle and always pursue what we want. While I firmly believe we should always be in pursuit of our dreams, there are instances when settling with your opponent can actually work in our favor.  This week, we'll be discussing the topic "Knowing When to Settle." Agreeing with your adversary is not something we often hear about in today's culture, but the Bible encourages us to settle things quickly. This valuable lesson is one that I've learned both the easy way and the hard way, so today, I want to share some tips and tools to help prevent you from falling into a similar situation.  If you're enjoying this series and would like more tips and tools to succeed in life and business, I encourage you to join us on May 17th & 18th in Los Angeles for The Called Conference. It's going to be a phenomenal time, and I don't want you to miss out. At the end of this episode, I’ll be sharing instructions for special pricing exclusively for Called listeners.

Knowing When To Settle

Called Family! We are back for Season 3 and I couldn't be more excited to reconnect with you and pour into you like never before! I’ve missed you all tremendously during my off-season, and this season we’re hitting the ground running. We’ve got a new theme for Season 3 — Business Wisdom from the Scripture and it’s going to be life-changing!    Today, we're diving into a subject that might sound a bit counterintuitive: Positive Procrastination. Now I know what you’re thinking - how in the world can procrastination be positive? And yes, I know I have an entire episode dedicated to overcoming procrastination. Let me assure you, I’m not advocating for procrastination in the traditional sense. However, there are times when we get excited about an idea, launch it prematurely, and miss out on a window of opportunity that could have taken things to the next level. In today’s episode, we'll be exploring the strategic art of holding back to allow our ideas the time they need to fully mature before making their grand entrance into the world.   Family, while I’m excited about Season 3, I’m also excited about Called to Illuminate which will be happening in just a few weeks on May 17th & 18th in Los Angeles. We recently announced our speaker lineup and session titles, and trust me, you’re going to want to be in the room. Also, be sure to stay tuned, because at the end of this episode, I’ll be sharing instructions to get special pricing exclusively for Called listeners. You certainly won’t want to miss it. Remember to share, rate, and review. Subscribe now to never miss an episode, and remember, you're not random, you're Called! Learn more at calledleaders.com

Positive Procrastination

I'll be honest - the past few weeks have been challenging, and I'll dive deeper into that in this episode. However, I have come to realize that reaching new dimensions requires us to go through a period of demolition. Because at the end of it all, the breakdown makes us broader and more effective in every area of life. I want you to thrive in your businesses and organizations. But more importantly, I want you to succeed in becoming whole in every aspect of your life.  This week, I decided to flip the script and do things a bit differently. Normally, I discuss topics surrounding growth in leadership or ways to scale your business, but today might be the most vulnerable episode I've released to date. We discuss what it means to be CALLED to our respective spheres of influence, but if you don't get anything else, I want you to be Called to Wholeness.  Family, I'll be taking a few weeks to recharge to come back with fresh content. In the meantime, I encourage you to listen to some of the episodes you may have missed or revisit the ones that impacted you. Also, don't forget to register for Called to Illuminate which will take place in Los Angeles on May 17th & 18th.  Remember to share, rate, and review.
