You have to get out of your comfort zone when you’re dealing with anybody. Those people are no more special or different than you. And let me give you a little tip, those people want you to approach them. Who would they be without you? They would be nothing without your fanfare. They would be nothing without you buying their products. Those people would be absolutely nothing. And I want to encourage you to get outside of your comfort zone. Go up and meet those people!

How do you handle subscriptions? Do you loan your subscriptions to other people? Or Do you share it with someone else? Or are you the person who wants all the benefits but does not want to pay for the subscription?
Here's the litmus test, would you like this kind of activity be done to you? If you do such - over a small amount of money, I wonder what would you do over a thousand dollars? Or tens of thousands of dollars?

Some of you guys, my heart goes out for you today because you're dealing with children that you have a broken relationship with. You don't have any ties, any connections.
Here's what I want you to do today. Reach out to those kids today with maybe a word of encouragement, maybe a hug on them, love on them. Tell them that you love them. I am not saying condone what they've done. We have a lot of kids out there that are knuckleheads that have done the wrong thing. They've made bad decisions. But let me remind you of something. You made some bad decisions yourself as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult.
Don't hold them to a standard that you're not willing to adhere to yourself when you were a younger kid. Let's show some grace. Be the bigger person. What I am saying is there is nothing that they would do that would separate my love and willingness to go out and pursue them. Maybe you need to say "Hey I don't agree with what you're doing but I want you to know that I will spend my last quarter helping you if you're willing to change." Don't love your passbook more than you do your kid. You got to love them back to you not beat them into submission.

I want to talk to you about how to keep the main thing the main thing. And I am talking about our relationship with our spouse, our marriage. The number one thing that we've done in our marriage to keep it successful is keeping Christ at the center. Our relentless pursuit of Christ I think has helped us more than anything in our relationship.

Everybody matters. Every sing person matters. But what we do as entrepreneurs and business owners, we’re always thinking about the next best for us as an individual.
I want to tell you, if you’ve got one employee or 400 employee, whatever the case may be, if you’ll do this little tip, I promise you that person will eventually will run through a wall for you. They will do anything you want because you are interested in them. You are helping them accomplish their goals, dreams, tasks. Have an intimate relationship with your employees. Start asking questions about their children, spouse, where they live and how you can help them obtain that nicer house or a better car.
It doesn’t take that much human interaction to really make a huge difference in the lives of other people. Ans the tip for the day is this - do you care?
