View from the Summit

I get so irritated when I hear people say they need the newest technology to be successful or that they can’t get to where they want to be without the latest and greatest app. I recently had a call with my mastermind group about this and I had to say “Time out! What about the basics?”

If you think you can’t move forward without the fanciest new technology, you’re getting yourself in trouble.

Don’t get me wrong, I love technology! I’m all for using technology to enhance your success. But if we don’t do the basics—the simple things that you need to do with consistency—even the best technology won’t get you anywhere.

New technology can definitely help to widen our audience and increase our efficiency, but there’s something more powerful than technology. Consistency. Consistency is essential to your success.

It’s time to make a decision...what are you waiting for?

I know there are a lot of you stuck on the fence today with indecision. You can’t decide on which side you’d rather be. I want to talk to you about this because I know it’s killing you right now.

Have you ever asked for something and been told no? What was your response? Did you ask why? Did you rethink your approach and try asking a different way or did you come up with a plan to get a yes? Or did you just give up? 

Luke 18:1-8 tells a parable about a widow who was treated wrongly by an adversary and would not give up in seeking justice. A judge had ignored her pleas several times, but eventually, due to her persistence, the judge listened to her and rectified the situation. Jesus tells this story in order to convey to His disciples the importance of not giving up on something when you don’t get the answer you’re looking for right away. He tells us to “always pray and not give up.”

Have you ever heard someone say “I can’t do it” or “I can’t figure this out”? Perhaps you’ve even said these very phrases yourself.
