Today we’ll be talking about winning and quitting. You’ve probably heard that “winners never quit,” but the truth is that the best winners among us quit all the time. Surprised? Ready to learn more? Tune in! 

Here’s what I mean: winners quit things that aren’t working, that are draining them, or that aren’t in their zone of genius. It’s absolutely okay to pivot. I want you to really think about what you’ll take into the new year, and what you’ll leave behind. You have the freedom to do that, and you don’t need to feel guilty for your decisions.

In today’s episode, I’ll share some real-world strategies from Michael Hyatt that can help you figure out whether to persist on your goals, pivot to different goals, or quit altogether. First, you need to identify why you’re stuck! There are seven things to consider to figure this out:

1. Maybe you have a divided focus. Narrow your focus to 2-3 goals per quarter.
2. Perhaps you’ve lost visibility of the goal. Take time daily or weekly to review your goals.
3. A change of circumstances might have happened. If this is the case, go through Jevonnah’s five R’s: rejoice, recommit, revise, remove, or replace your goal.
4. You might have a decline in motivation. It’s time to review and revise your motivation!
5. Maybe you experienced failure to launch. If this is why you’re stuck, create an activation trigger.
6. You might be experiencing a decline in energy. Make sure that you’re following the rhythm of refreshing.
7. You may have a delay of achievement and be wondering if you can finish. When I hit that wall, I take charge of my thinking and my mind.

Tune into this episode to learn more about all of this, and how you can absolutely do all things through Christ, even if that means persisting past exhaustion or heartache.

Ask Jevonnah a question

When you hear about going deeper with less, don’t you just feel better? It opens up the idea of possibilities even in a world where all of us are overwhelmed with things to do both personally and professionally. If you’re not careful, everything you need to do can leave your mind spinning! This is why it’s so important that we are intentional about going deeper with less.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn all about my intentional three-step system for going deeper with less. Here are the three steps you’ll hear about:

• Reflect. Sit down with your thoughts in a quiet space and answer this question: “Do I really need all of this?”
• Refresh. When you’re going deeper with less, you need to refresh both your mind and spirit. Take time to relax, whatever that means to you!
• Recommit! If you’re going to go deeper with less, you need to recommit to what you’re going to go deeper with.

Tune in to learn more about this system and each of the three steps, as well as my strategies for making sure that I get the most out of my books, some powerful opportunities for you (including my Facebook group Thrive! and my Leading Ladies Mastermind), how going deeper with less can simplify your life, why it’s so important to take time for yourself, and more!

Ask Jevonnah a question

So, what’s my secret? It’s two chairs. If you’re not familiar with the concept already from the excellent book 2 Chairs by Bob Beaudine, this probably sounds a little cryptic, but let me explain. You set up two chairs in whatever place where you have your quiet time. These chairs should be facing each other, as if you’re setting up to have a meeting for someone (because that’s exactly what you’re doing).

You sit in one of the chairs, and then you allow the Spirit of God to sit in the other. The way I see it, God is first in our businesses, and Jesus Christ is the CEO. We get our wisdom, direction, and leadership from Him. Especially as you become successful in business, you begin to ask yourself whether you can sustain this level of success and performance. The answer is that by ourselves, no, we can’t -- we need God’s strength! In our weakness, he is made strong.

In these times, two chairs asks three vital questions:

• Does God know your situation?
• Is it too hard for Him to handle?
• Does He have a good plan for you?

I hope you know the answers to all of these! If you have any doubts, tune into the episode to learn what they are. You’ll also learn how to use the two chairs system, why it’s so important to give Him longer to speak than you take, which Scripture is making a huge difference in my life these days, and more!

In This Episode:

[00:47] - Jevonnah welcomes listeners and takes a moment to share her appreciation.

[01:22] - We learn more about the practice that has changed everything for Jevonnah: two chairs.

[02:39] - Jevonnah explains how you can use the two chairs practice, and why it’s important.

[03:41] - We hear a quote from the book 2 Chairs by Bob Beaudine, and Jevonnah explores how it relates to this concept.

[04:35] - Two chairs asks three vital questions. Jevonnah digs into what they are.

[05:59] - Jevonnah encourages listeners to do two things. First, get a copy of the book. Second, set up your own two chairs, then leave a comment on iTunes as a review to let her know how that simple practice is changing your life!

[07:58] - Today’s show is brought to you by the Leading Ladies Mastermind, Jevonnah’s business accelerator.

[08:45] - Jevonnah shares the Scripture that is making a huge difference in her life, and may make a difference in yours too.

2 Chairs: The Secret That Changes Everything by Bob Beaudine

2 Chairs: The Secret That Changes Everything by Bob Beaudine

Joshua 1:9

Psalm 32:8

Are you truly a pro?

Your immediate answer might be “yes,” but let’s explore a little more deeply. At what point in your career did you become a pro? I’m careful with that word, because the way I see it, none of us has truly arrived yet. There’s always something to learn, no matter how successful we are and how many wins we have. Instead of saying I’m a pro, I like to say I’m a pro at learning! After all, constantly learning is a requirement of being a pro.

I asked this question of my audience, and they had some fantastic answers. David Hancock, for example, said, “I am always a student in a never-ending quest” and offered the example of a seagull searching for food in endless circles, even after it has already eaten. Edwin says, “When you stop learning is when you start dying, so keep learning.” Tune into the episode for many more incredible answers and insights.

If all of this inspires you to keep learning (and it should!), here’s a powerful piece of advice for you: surround yourself with people who you admire and who will challenge you to grow and thrive. When you change the people who you surround yourself with, you’ll rise to their level.

Listen in today to hear more about how you can grow into the person you have the potential to be, why we all have room for growth, the moving perspective that the incredible Bishop Charles Blake provides, why it’s so important to be selective about what you choose to learn, and much more. I look forward to continuing to walk along this path with you as you become the person you’re destined to be!

In This Episode:

[01:11] - Jevonnah introduces the topic of today’s episode and explains why she’s careful with the word “pro.”

[03:18] - We hear some of the responses that Jevonnah got to her question “are you a pro?”.

[05:59] - Even as we continue to reach new levels of success, none of us ever fully arrives. There’s always something else to learn. Jevonnah offers the example of getting open-heart surgery to illustrate this point.

[06:47] - Jevonnah advises listeners to get a coach if they don’t have one already, and talks about the importance of spending time with the right people.

[08:22] - Jevonnah shares more answers that people have shared to her question about learning and being a pro. She also addresses the importance of taking action.

[10:40] - We hear more powerful and inspirational responses from Jevonnah’s audience.

[12:27] - Jevonnah gives a shout-out to her bishop, Bishop Charles Blake of West Angeles Church.

[14:25] - We hear a saddening statistic that Jevonnah heard recently about how few people read books after they graduate high school.

[16:08] - Jevonnah talks about being selective about what you choose to learn.

[17:27] - We move onto a few final comments in response to Jevonnah’s question.

[18:34] - Something Jevonnah does is to schedule what she calls a “journal sabbath” on her calendar every Sunday after church.

[20:33] - Thanks for tuning into today’s show, and please don’t forget to subscribe to hear a new episode every week!

David Hancock, for example, said, “I am always a student in a never-ending quest” and offered the example of a seagull searching for food in endless circles, even after it has already eaten. Edwin says, “When you stop learning is when you start dying, so keep learning.” Tune into the episode for many more incredible answers and insights.

If all of this inspires you to keep learning (and it should!), here’s a powerful piece of advice for you: surround yourself with people who you admire and who will challenge you to grow and thrive. When you change the people who you surround yourself with, you’ll rise to their level.

Listen in today to hear more about how you can grow into the person you have the potential to be, why we all have room for growth, the moving perspective that the incredible Bishop Charles Blake provides, why it’s so important to be selective about what you choose to learn, and much more. I look forward to continuing to walk along this path with you as you become the person you’re destined to be!
