The Achieve ANYTHING Formula © - Part 3 of 7: Hope

In the previous video in this series, I talked about reawakening vision in your life.  Today, we're discussing hope.  As you watch the video, I want you to make some notes and follow along with my thinking.  In case you miss them (or just prefer to read!) here are my main points.  But I still hope you will watch the video so I can explain them to you further! #1 - Hoping is not wishing.   #2 - To Achieve you must believe. #3...

Would You Pay This Woman to Hold You?

Don't feel badly for her if you say no. Apparently, she's not lacking in customers.Paying people to snuggle with you? If you ask me, it's both funny and sad at the same time. The entrepreneur in me knows it is a good business opportunity, too!I totally believe in the "science" of touch and often hug, ask people to hug and/or hold hands when we pray at church. All of that! I even remarked this morning as I taught Bible Study that I do it because...

Do We Want Too Much?

If I were more brave, this is the blog I would write so I will just imagine that I'm as brave as that and keep typing... Here's the thing. I feel like it is absolutely 100% inevitable that I will either sooner or later disappoint either my girlfriend or (if so blessed one day) my wife. A part of me feels like we're dealing with a generation of people who can't be happy. I think many men agree with me whether they will admit it or not.  It...

"Paul was NOT Sexist" AKA "The Romans 16 Woman"

Everyone talks about the Proverbs 31 woman, but what about the Romans 16 woman? It's time for her to get her due, too! (The Proverbs 31 Man is rarely mentioned, but that's another story for another blog!)  Romans 16 is Paul's final farewell and instruction to Believers. Romans is his great work, as it were. It is Paul's magnum opus. Nearing the end of his life and ministry, he uses this letter to give final words to watch out for false doctrine...

Stories Sell!

All good stories have the same elements: (1) a hero (2) the hero's driving desire (3) a big obstacle or opponent and (4) resolution (either happy or tragic). That's it. That's all. If the resolution is happy, it's considered a comedy. If the resolution is sad, it's considered a drama.You will be more effective as you get better an better at telling stories and incorporating them into your work and speech."Facts are forgotten, but stories are remembered...

The Achieve ANYTHING Formula © - Part 2 of 7: Vision

If you have a big dream, it's been placed on your heart by a big God! Our first task lesson in The Achieve ANYTHING Formula © is to get you to resurrect your vision! Let me show you something that has really inspired me to make a global impact. This is a guy, just called Matt, who was basically a deadbeat (his words) and his friend decided to record him dancing in front of different places of interest as they traveled. The dancing was bad....

Wanted: Men Who Walk Their Talk

From my point of view, I see a lot of women (and men) satisfied when a man says he is "spiritual" when asked about his faith. To me, that's just code for "Stop asking me questions!!"  Unfortunately, a lot of women become mislead spiritually, relationally and otherwise.  I think there are 10 evidences that a man is walking his talk:1 - "Spirituality" isn't good enough for him. He studies and knows doctrines, scriptures and some church history.2...
