33
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.439
Lord, this is your show.
We're your people, we're your daughters.

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.639
We're behind the cross. Father,

38
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.199
pray, Amen and Amen. All
right, Well, I've got a couple

39
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.599
of things here. We're gonna talk
about small business tips and things like that,

40
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.360
but I have to share with you
my cousin. I'm gonna give a

41
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:38.199
shout out to my cousin Monica over
in Mississippi. I love her post.

42
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.639
She posts a whole lot of things. But this morning she posted Jennifer Holiday

43
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.599
and Reuben started practicing for a pro. I don't know if it's a Sunday

44
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.560
program, Christmas program of what.
But they were in the church and they

45
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:58.520
had everybody there and Jennifer was singing
Silent Night. Now we have grown up

46
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.159
with Silent Night. We know it
backwards and forward. We know maybe the

47
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.000
third Stanza even you know, and
I don't know about you, and my

48
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.360
co hosts are hearing this for the
first time, so bear with me,

49
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.240
and I hope I don't cry anymore. I cried so hard this morning.

50
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.160
Well, I'm listening to Jenna Missus
Holliday sing and I'm like, oh wow,

51
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.040
you know, it's good to see
her and everything. You could tell.

52
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.959
She's been through the fire and she's
still going through and trying to find

53
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.560
her way back. And you know, I prayed real quick for her,

54
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.319
you know, for what I saw. But when she was singing Silent Night,

55
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.000
and it's like God told me to
sit back, and I need you

56
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:42.560
to listen to the words, and
he took me into a whole dimension.

57
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.399
Hey, country, see what part
of Mississippi does your cousin living I will

58
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:47.600
find out country, see, but
you don't need to know that because your

59
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.759
wife don't want you to know that. So I'm just joking because she is

60
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.040
my cousin is single. I said, Okay, I'm just joking. I'm

61
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.079
joking. I'm joking. I'll let
you know. I'm not sure what part

62
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.319
of Mississippi she lives in. But
as I'm I'm listening to Silent Night,

63
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.800
all of a sudden, the Holy
Spirit just came over me and I'm crying.

64
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:15.160
I'm literally crying because I began to
God began to dissect the song.

65
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:25.199
He said, it was a silent
night, holy night, all is calm,

66
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.360
and all is bright, and he
stopped right there. He said,

67
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:35.160
it was a silent night to strangers. It was a silent night until the

68
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:41.439
innkeeper, when marrying Joseph, said, do you have any room? Do

69
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.439
you have any room? We just
need to get some rest. And the

70
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.839
innkeepers like, I have no more
rooms, but I've got a stable in

71
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.639
the back. You could go back
there. And now, if you've ever

72
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:55.079
been to a fair, a country
fair, you know when you go to

73
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.839
the livestock area, even though they
try to clean up, the boo boo

74
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.720
smelt, wherever you have livestock,
it smells okay. So God was just

75
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.720
I'm like okay, and I couldn't. I couldn't get I couldn't get out

76
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.720
of it. I couldn't even I
am crying like it was a silent night

77
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:24.040
and our savior was born. Three
kings were looking for the Savior. I

78
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.279
used to love that song in church. Amen, Hey, missy, missy,

79
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.160
I'm telling you, it was a
silent night, holy night, holy

80
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:41.519
night, all was calm, But
there was a bright star in the east.

81
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.920
Come on now, because it was
dark that the three kings traveled by

82
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:53.560
night because they knew the Savior was
born. We gotta get these gifts to

83
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.639
him. Nobody bothered them. I
mean, I've heard all the different versions

84
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.680
of the star song. I've seen
it played out and animated and stuff.

85
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:05.600
Nobody tried to rob them. Nobody
stopped there and say, hey, where

86
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.639
are you going. They just knew
if we keep we got we got to

87
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.839
follow the northern the Eastern star.
So all was calm, but all was

88
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:23.920
bright and round, young Virgin mother, and trial holy infant, so tender,

89
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.000
and my sleep in heavenly peace.
You know, the angels was rejoicing.

90
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.079
It was a and all I kept
saying, it was a silent night.

91
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.000
Our Savior was born. Listen,
and I appreciate doing the gifts.

92
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.000
You should have seen people. People
about to run me over. I'm trying

93
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.000
to get the gifts for the donation
we're getting ready to do. People about

94
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.560
to knock us over with their baskets
because they try to get whatever they can.

95
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.959
But and I understand the gift giving. But the biggest gift has been

96
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:01.920
given to us. He was raised
born of a virgin, and he was

97
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:09.519
raised in a manger along with the
livestock. The innkeeper didn't even have the

98
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.560
wherewithal to say, wait a minute, that's a baby there. Don't tell

99
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.399
me that's the son of God.
He didn't even have the wherewithal. No,

100
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.439
I got a stable in the back. If you could make room back

101
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.000
there, you could stay back there. And I believe he charged them,

102
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.360
but it smelt back there. But
it didn't matter because we had to find

103
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:35.200
a place to lay the baby down. We had to find a place.

104
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.200
Not knowing marrying Joseph. The angels
didn't warn Mary when she said, now

105
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.720
you're gonna you know, the angel
Gabril came down and said, you know,

106
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.120
you're gonna be, you know,
burying the son of God and everything

107
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.320
else. And he didn't even tell
He just said, oh, by the

108
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.720
way, now after he gets born, now there's some three kings that's gonna

109
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.240
come fall and find y'all. He
ain't say any of that. She didn't

110
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.919
even know. Joseph didn't have no
idea, these three kings bringing Franknson's and

111
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.679
MRD and whatever else they needed on
their camels. They didn't even ride the

112
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.480
camels. They're walking in the camp
camels. It was a silent night.

113
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:22.559
It was a silent night that our
Savior was born, and thirty three years

114
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:30.840
later he would die on the cross
so that we can be set free.

115
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.840
We have to understand. I feel
sorry for that moment of this morning.

116
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.200
As I'm crying, I could see
the unbeliever. I can see the atheists.

117
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.840
I can see the domination of people
that's been playing all these years.

118
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.080
You don't know, you singing,
got to get the Christmas program together,

119
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:52.080
everybody having their Christmas program way before
Christmas, you know, and you're singing

120
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.720
these songs and you don't even know
what you're saying. You're just doing it

121
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.360
so you can have a program now, the ladies of coh We're not expecting

122
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.799
this tonight. This just happened to
me this morning, and God said,

123
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.840
talk about me, talk about my
son tonight and the importance of my son,

124
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.480
because it was a silent night.
I don't know about y'all, but

125
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.960
there are times that I'm crying.
I wake up in the middle of the

126
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.080
night, two and three o'clock in
the morning, laden with tears. Don't

127
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.519
know why I'm crying. Later in
the day, I could just hear something,

128
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:37.200
just feel his presence, and I'm
crying silent tears. And as we

129
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.799
were out today, I was looking
at the people just hustling and bustling,

130
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.879
going here, people almost about to
run over you. You came across the

131
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:52.240
cross wall just so in a hurry. And for what one day? One

132
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.840
day? Some of you may not
have a job after Christmas? Stores are

133
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:05.279
they are hustling. They started everything
early. I never thought to ask,

134
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.440
but did she know she was gonna
have the baby that night? No,

135
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.360
I'm pretty sure she probably didn't,
but she probably knew if she was in

136
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.000
labor, because we don't know the
Bible. Notice how the Bible don't even

137
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.720
talk about Mary being in pain.
She labored for twenty four hours, she

138
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.919
labored for twelve hours, the baby
was turned. None of that. All

139
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:31.240
we know is the baby shows up. He was born in a major That's

140
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.440
all. That's all we know.
And that same and then God showed me

141
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.519
a picture of Jesus hanging on the
cross. Oh God, I don't want

142
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.600
to cry, and his mother married
and Joseph. I can only imagine if

143
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.879
they probably looked at each other.
And remember thirty three years ago we were

144
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.759
in that that stable where the ox
and the lamb kept time and from the

145
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.879
drummer boy, her roper palm punk, And I know they looked at each

146
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.799
other and said, we've only had
thirty three years with them. Did we

147
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.399
do right? Did we follow God? We know we escaped. We had

148
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.000
to run because Pharaoh was killing every
male child. And people didn't understand that.

149
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.559
I know, Joseph is like,
they probably said, what you doing?

150
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.519
You even married a woman? She
having a baby? Now I'm what

151
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.559
they say it. And they looked
up at the cross and say, he's

152
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.519
got to go. Now, he's
got the go because he's the savior of

153
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:39.440
the world. His mission's got to
be complete. He has to leave us

154
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.840
here. He's got the go.
But oh, Mary, don't you weep?

155
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.519
Don't you weep? Because thirty three
years ago it was a silent night.

156
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.000
So all these little Christmas songs you're
singing, stopped for a minute and

157
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:05.039
just really let the words resonate with
you. See what that really means for

158
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.879
you, what's the real meaning behind
it. It was a silent night,

159
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.679
yet it was a holy night,
and everything was calm. Look at the

160
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.879
chaos and the havoc we got every
day. That night it was calm.

161
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.879
It was quiet, but it was
a bright light all was bright leading to

162
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:35.480
that major So yes, go ahead. When when you say that, and

163
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:41.200
I've heard it too, it makes
you think the world just stopped. Everything

164
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:50.919
stopped it just like you said,
peace be still. Everything stopped allowed him

165
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:58.600
to be ushered into this earth.
And that's that's how I see it and

166
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.600
where I feel when I hear silad
night. It was just one of those

167
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:11.840
Peace be steel. The Savior is
coming. Yes, that's awesome because yes,

168
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.840
and then when he gave up the
ghost, they say the tent was

169
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:22.919
rent from the top down, and
the thundered from nowhere, the sun just

170
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:28.440
went away and the clouds. Yes, yes, that could preach right there.

171
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.879
So as we go into this weekend, and I know you're hustling and

172
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.320
busting, you're trying to get the
right foods for the gathering, and I

173
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.240
would just like to ask everybody just
take a minute, even before you pray,

174
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.200
and maybe listen to that song,
oh, listen to another, you

175
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:54.080
know amazing grace, listen to a
thought provoking song for a minute and let

176
00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:00.240
the words resonate within you. What
does it mean, what did did it

177
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:07.159
be? And have your moment and
then leave we go into prayer and enjoy

178
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.480
your families this weekend. Just recently, I was God told me to put

179
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.679
my queen earrings on, so I
did, and I was like, God,

180
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.039
do I wear red or do I
wear green? And then I started

181
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.039
wondering what did the colors for Christmas? Who designated red and green to be

182
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.799
for Christmas? Well, if we
look at the meanings of the colors,

183
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.840
red for me is warfare. It's
the blood of Jesus. But normally it's

184
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.639
warfare. When I used to attend
the church that did prayer warfare on Friday

185
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.399
nights, I would wear something either
fatigues or something red because I knew we

186
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.000
were going to war that night.
We were gonna pray until the cows came

187
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.120
home. Literally so. And then
green, of course is money. It's

188
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.320
funny. So for those who don't
have money or wonder, oh you're keeping

189
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.679
your money looking funny all the time, I'm gonna I'm gonna double dare you

190
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:11.159
to wear green. Let the money
find you. Don't you go chasing money.

191
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.240
God's people don't chase money. Don't
do it because we depend on him.

192
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.440
Now, I know you're gonna say, hey, miss Gray, you

193
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.120
just don't understand. I've got hey
trust me. I have pawned my jury

194
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:30.919
before, while married to a man
that made over six figures. I've gone

195
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.879
to get payday loans on work and
praying that I could prove it. I

196
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:40.679
had favor with the payday loan people, do you hear me? Until I

197
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.440
walked in one day and said,
God, I can't serve ma'mine and serve

198
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:48.720
you. And I was repaying my
extra fifty dollars back and the girl said,

199
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.960
hey, how are you. I
said, I can't come back here

200
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.559
anymore. She said no, no, no, you know, hey,

201
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.600
you're good with us. We could
just we could twenty four hours, just

202
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.679
come back tomorrow afternoon. Ain't another
loan. I said, no, I

203
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.480
can't do that. And it was
nobody else in the store at that time.

204
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.200
She said you can't. I said, no, I can't serve him

205
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.680
and serve you. I got to
believe in. I got to live the

206
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.920
life. I got to believe in. And to this day that store has

207
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:22.119
shut down, gone out of business, and I've never looked back. So,

208
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.319
yeah, I know where you've been. I know where somebody I've gotten

209
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.079
food stamps before. Since living in
Orlando. Oh, I know where you've

210
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:34.400
been, and I know what you're
thinking. Don't give up, don't give

211
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.240
up, keep pushing forward. Get
out. I'm gonna talk. I don't

212
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.279
want to get ahead of myself,
but you got to do this. If

213
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.160
you believe in him, trust him. God says to his word in the

214
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:52.720
Old Testament, try me and see
try me. He's begging you. Cast

215
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.119
your cares on me. All of
you who are heavy lady, all of

216
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.720
you are burdened down. All of
you who can't see beyond your paycheck,

217
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.079
all of you. But yet you're
looking at your covers, you're looking at

218
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.799
your refrigerator. You got three bills
sitting there waiting on you on the twenty

219
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:15.400
eighth. That's who I'm talking to. But you say you believe in the

220
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:25.599
Lord, trying try him. I
gave a seed offering overnight. Bank wouldn't

221
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.599
take it. Bank wouldn't take it. One of my bank. All my

222
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.319
banks really protect me. I can't
speak for everybody else, but they protect

223
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.240
me. And if it don't look
right to them, then no, you

224
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.079
call us. And of course it's
on a Sunday, So who am I

225
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.400
going to get? But they open
on Sundays till five o'clock. I didn't

226
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:47.920
know that behind the scenes. So
God told me to give this seat.

227
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.799
It was it was a little piece. It was a little piece because it's

228
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:56.119
helping families and whatever else the pastors
need to do happen for I don't designate

229
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.240
seed offering. I designated for my
life. So I asked God, all

230
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.759
the money old to me, please
please bring it in by pigeon, dove,

231
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.880
angels, it don't matter. Just
can you go get it and just

232
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.279
bring it to me, Just put
it in account. You don't have to

233
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.079
run it by me. I'm good. Everything out there old to me because

234
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.480
the devil dancing on it. Please
send it back to me. Get it.

235
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.119
Can you just go get So that's
the prayer for anything I see,

236
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.240
especially this year. So how about
I'm waiting for one of the sponsors to

237
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.920
get back in touch with me because
he told me, anything you need,

238
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:27.319
let me know, and I did
and I didn't. So one of his

239
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.960
staff members, you know, interceded
for him, and I said, okay,

240
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.319
you know I'm good because God told
me not to use my five oh

241
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.039
one. He said, you got
enough, go get what you need.

242
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:42.319
I said, okay, I do
what God tells me to do. Guys,

243
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:51.880
everything we picked up not only was
on sale. Then after we finished

244
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:53.279
the main shopping, we I wait
to get it to come. I'm looking

245
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.680
at my phone and I'm like what
and my phone now record. If you

246
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.960
leave a voice message, it'll send
me a text of the message. I

247
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.839
don't know where that came from,
but anyway, I'm like what. My

248
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.640
daughter's like, ma, I said, oh my god, these I've told

249
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:15.599
you you cannot beat God giving the
exact seed. I finally got it straight

250
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.279
with the banks today and they say, well, you know right now,

251
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.480
and let me tell you this as
a commercial with Zel, when you're sending

252
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.759
money through Zel, there's a major
scam going on. They're calling. The

253
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.319
scammers are calling you pretending that they're
working for Bank of America. Spell the

254
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.599
acronym. They use something else instead
of the Oh that should be a big

255
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.000
thing. They can't spell. That's
another thing too, when you did it

256
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.319
with a scammer. They can't smell, they can't spell. I don't.

257
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.319
I don't understand it. To save
my life, not everybody dumb. Did

258
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.279
you fail the eighth grade? I
don't understand, but you know, they

259
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.200
just really they they okay, anyone, let me let me drive it back.

260
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.599
So that's one of the scams.
So they definitely on high alert right

261
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:59.920
now. The banks are on high
alert when zel transactions that are unusual are

262
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:06.599
are going, you know, happening
the same exact seed. I had the

263
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:11.400
trouble in getting it to these people. Finally it went through. I got

264
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.839
I'm getting it back from a second
sponsor the same exact amount. They got

265
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:21.039
a check cut for me already.
You can't beat God given you can't,

266
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.799
so you can only trust him.
And seating is gonna be key. We'll

267
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.519
talk about that in another show because
I want to get to the rest of

268
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.759
this and then I need the ladies
to come on and chime in here.

269
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.680
But Red and Green to me is
redd is warfare. Of course, Red

270
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:40.000
is the blood of Jesus. But
green to me is money. And I

271
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.119
don't love money. Let me set
this straight right now. I do not

272
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:47.880
love money, but I like money. Loving money, you go do anything

273
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.240
to get it. You'll lie,
steal, you'll do whatever. You're all

274
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.680
on your taxes and taxes they getting
they catch it. They're here, they

275
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.200
got surprises for people. Come January, you go to file. I'm telling

276
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.960
you that they told you here is
that you know one of the neatest company

277
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:11.039
entities in the world. Then let
you know we're hiring eighty thousand IRS workers

278
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.240
because we're coming for those who have
lied about this COVID money stimulus, whatever

279
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.960
it is. So they've hired them, they've trained them, and they're waiting.

280
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.519
So leave your tax prepairer loan,
be honest and everything else. But

281
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.119
red and green are the colors if
you got to go to if you got

282
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.400
the war for your family, you've
got to pray and tell the devil,

283
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.000
tell the mountains to move out of
your way. Wear red, watch what

284
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.599
happens. But you need money to
find you wear green. I wear green

285
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:45.000
walking into my bank, and I
got favored with the manager. I got

286
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.279
favored with the staff. Miss gret. How can we help you? Come

287
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:55.000
on now? Okay, we want
any ladies you want to say anything with

288
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:03.400
that, and then we're gonna segue
into some business chat. Okay, now

289
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.440
you tube. We've been doing this
for two years. Now we go okay,

290
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:15.720
stop it, stop it all right, I'll speak it. Oh boy.

291
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.400
So, I mean, I don't
know where it came from, but

292
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.680
I like your rationale for the red
and the green. So maybe I need

293
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:32.799
to start wearing a little more green
around, but also the red for the

294
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:37.240
blood of Jesus. I tell you, I'm serious. I'm serious. I've

295
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.279
got red ribbon around my house.
I've got red ribbon in my car that's

296
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:47.039
been annointed. Wow, okay,
I'm learning something new. I'm learning something

297
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.759
new. So, like I said, I'm ready for twenty twenty four.

298
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:56.279
See what it has, and I'm
going in all in. I agree with

299
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:03.319
you on that. I just painted
two rooms that were green in the house,

300
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:11.079
so I am on board with you. I love the redbond. Ain't

301
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:18.079
gonna do no red walls, but
but I will have we have the red

302
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.160
ribbon in the in the dining room
and for Christmas, and instead of a

303
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:29.079
star on our little I call it
our little Charlie uh Charlie Brown tree.

304
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.960
It's a big red It's not a
boat, but it's a floral piece that's

305
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:41.799
big and bold, and I love
red. So I'm in. I'm all

306
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:48.799
in with you, and continue to
face the blood of Jesus and the foundation

307
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.559
of wealth in green. That's it. That's it, you know, that's

308
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.720
that's that's that's it. Okay,
that's it. Okay, amen, So

309
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.920
let's talk about business. Now.
But the Lord, you know, he

310
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.960
wanted me just to talk about some
tips here, and you know, and

311
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.799
we're looking at all these people,
entertainers who've been making millions off of the

312
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:18.279
concert tickets and millions off you buying
their records or their CDs or downloading them

313
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.920
on iTunes or whatever the case may
be. And yet they can't pay their

314
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:29.640
taxes. And they're not just one
hundred dollars behind. There are millions of

315
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:37.440
dollars behind. There are some estates
of deceased entertainers that are still in the

316
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.640
hands of the government until they pay
off their taxes and stuff, and then

317
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:48.319
whatever's left they're going to give to
the families. That makes no sense to

318
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.599
me. I'm scared. I don't. I'm scared to death of irs.

319
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.000
Once IRS open you up, they
stay in you for a while, they

320
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.960
stay in you for a while.
Nobody I was in work study in the

321
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.119
college. Nobody financial aid didn't tell
me. Now, you know, every

322
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.720
year you need to file this the
work that you earned. Nobody told me

323
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.200
that. So for two years,
all of a sudden, I'm getting letters

324
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.599
from IRS with the inflated interest rate
on it. So I called on that

325
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.920
and I got the nastiest man.
He said, well, you need to

326
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.680
find a family member of somebody.
Said, nobody can help me. They

327
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.079
all poor. He said, well
you should have thought about that before you

328
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:29.799
went to school. Yeah, he
said that. I said, sir,

329
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.119
thank you, thank you for your
time. I didn't know what to do,

330
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.160
and I went and worked a little
job at at Lane Bryant. Supervisor

331
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.559
wanted but just thought I was going
there to be there for I was very

332
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.240
honest with her. I said,
no, I got a bill to pay.

333
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.960
I gotta fail to pay. It'd
be nice. You know. It

334
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.519
was plus sized girl, so you
know I can get some clothes maybe on

335
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.160
you know, But now I ain't
have time for that. I'm trying to

336
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:53.920
pay this bill. When the bill
was over, I told Cary, okay

337
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:56.400
last day. She said, what
you mean, I said, I'm going.

338
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.839
I told you, I told you
I came to pay a bill.

339
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:02.960
I know you don't want to do
that these days, but being honest,

340
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:08.240
pay your taxes. Pay next thing. Those of you who have a business,

341
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.640
nonprofit or for profit, you need
to have a three to five year

342
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:17.680
business plan. How do you know
where you're going? How do you know

343
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:22.480
where you're supposed to go, who's
your target audience? What are their needs?

344
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:29.359
When you're a nonprofit and you're answering
the RFP a Request per proposal,

345
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.920
the funder already knows the language,
it already knows what it's looking for.

346
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.119
It's just looking for an agency that
could do the job. Some of these

347
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:42.039
people, I'm a grant reviewer,
and some of these people, I mean

348
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:48.720
this last one, they said,
please do not repeat the words that are

349
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.240
in italics. Those are the directions
for you. One set of people just

350
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:59.599
repeat it. I'm like, so
you can't read, and whenever you do

351
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.039
read, you don't understand it.
So you can't. You can't handle this

352
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:04.240
money. You can't, we can't
get we can't fund you. And I

353
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.839
put it in my review notes.
The reason why I gave them the scores

354
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:12.720
I did. I don't. I
wrote grants to for an agency. We

355
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:18.359
know that sixty five eighty five percent
of the families are living below the poverty

356
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:19.880
level. You don't have to remind
us of that. Tell me what you're

357
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:26.960
gonna do with this money that's in
your budget. Read and then have somebody

358
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.119
else go over it before you submit
it. Because it comes to me,

359
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.359
I'm like, Okay, it goes
to five third chapter thirty five thirteen quick

360
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.039
and I don't pick it up until
it's time to shredd it. You know,

361
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:45.599
I have a niece that reviews.
I think it's grants and I'm not

362
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:52.920
saying the five out one degree.
But she said, people try to embellish

363
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:03.839
on their questions. Just answer the
question. Be precise and short, that's

364
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.240
all. She said. You got
to do. Tell us what you're gonna

365
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.319
do, how you plan on doing
it, what's the success rate that you

366
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.759
think you can achieve, or whatever
the case may be. But she say,

367
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:23.440
just be direct, just be If
it's a is this italic blue or

368
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:30.000
green? You look at it,
you say blue and it's green or it's

369
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.039
just blue. You don't need to
embellish on it. She say, it's

370
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:41.519
so often that people embellish trying to
get with all. They got to just

371
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:47.119
be straight and honest. Just straight
and honest. That's it. You got

372
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.880
it, believe it's not And you
don't have to speak all these foreign languages.

373
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:57.680
You don't have to use these great
big words. Just answer the question.

374
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:03.599
That's it. When I worked for
the agency down back home and tray,

375
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:08.440
you remember Children's Services counsel major funder
of children and family programs. I

376
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.839
mean, I just sit there like
and I had to review thirty at a

377
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.359
time. We split and we got
sixty responses for our team. One year

378
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.599
we were putting sixty five million on
the street. And so all I'm looking

379
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:26.400
for you answer five questions. Just
five questions, just five question Just answer

380
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:32.240
the five. Don't give me back
our data. I've got two researchers on

381
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:37.240
my team. They put the data
in the grand the whole narrative. Don't

382
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.200
give that back to us. Answer. Tell me how you gonna do this,

383
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.200
what you're gonna do with the money, Just like on Shark Tank,

384
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:45.960
and I'm gonna segue the Shark Tank. Shark Tank asked what you're gonna do

385
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.359
with the money? Oh dude,
last year we made one point five million,

386
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.240
okay, so what are you doing
with our money? And why are

387
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.359
you here? And Damon is quick
to say, oh, and Damon and

388
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.079
the other fellow they're quick to say, oh, you're here to try to

389
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.039
get on the commercial, to be
on the show. They'll call them out

390
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:11.920
quick and yeah, Mark Cuban,
that's it, Mark Kiban, No,

391
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:15.480
not the ballhead whin No, Mark
Cuban and Damon call him out. And

392
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.559
that's I'm segueing there. If you're
in business, you need to watch people

393
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.920
who are already in business and are
successful. I'm not talking about the corner

394
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:30.200
store people. I'm talking about people
who are really amassing wealth and making a

395
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:37.400
difference. Shark Tank is a show
that every entrepreneur needs to watch because,

396
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.240
believe it or not, they frown
upon you trying to come off of your

397
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.920
website and get a brick and mortar. They're like, if you've made one

398
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.599
hundred thousand in six months or in
three months, why are you getting a

399
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.839
brick and mortar, why are you
getting overhead? So you'll be surprised as

400
00:31:52.880 --> 00:32:00.599
to what they frown at and listen
to the tips the reason why they go

401
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.200
into great detail about how you know
in this product, and they're listening,

402
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.000
they say, oh, the people
you know. So watch Shark Tank.

403
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:14.559
Watch competitive reality shows, see how
to organize. If you're going to be

404
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:20.000
doing performances and stuff, you need
to be watching Top Models. You need

405
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.160
to be watching how they put a
show together. You need to be watching

406
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:31.640
Top Chef. If you ended the
cooking industry, those chefs all started out

407
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:39.960
small and now look including Gordon Ramsey, Guy feer I just binge watch Guy

408
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:45.920
Feara on his steak out in the
grocery store. He's got some of the

409
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:50.759
finest chefs competing against each other,
and how they choose their meat and why

410
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.359
they choose it, and what this
herb could do to this meat and if

411
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:54.680
you or if you put too much
of this. I mean, I'm just

412
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:58.119
sitting there. I'm like, God, I ain't gonna be cooking anytime.

413
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.200
So you guys said, oh,
you will be, But you know,

414
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.599
just watch these things. I just
learned about searing a steak. You don't

415
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.640
have to throw the ribby on the
grill because it's nine times out of ten

416
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:14.480
you not go You're not gonna be. Yeah, that's that's jazz. She's

417
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.480
she knows everybody's busy right now,
so she thinks, oh I can wander

418
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.240
Yeah, she looking at me.
I don't can wander around and nobody's gonna

419
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:24.119
say anything and get into garbage.
We ain't raising you like that, stop

420
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:30.000
it. But anyway, you know, I just learned that it's best to

421
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:34.000
sear your seafood. I mean,
go ahead and grill it to get the

422
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.319
charred marks on it, right,
but then the last twenty minutes, throw

423
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:42.119
it in the oven so it could
cook from the inside out. Because nine

424
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.400
times out of ten, you're not
you know, you know you're not gonna

425
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.079
be successful with the you know,
the meat cooking on the inside and you

426
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.119
eat raw you oh it's all pretty
and you cut that thing over, but

427
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.720
it's just as red as it want
to be. So if you're in business,

428
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.240
you need to watch the business shows. You need to watch the people

429
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:04.799
the cake, the holiday cake wars
and and if you're into baking and stuff.

430
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:07.360
But I learned, but I shared
it with my daughter. One of

431
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:15.559
the Gordon Ramsay reality competition shows.
They all those are social media cooks.

432
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:21.039
They're not chefs. They just go
on TikTok and show you what they're doing.

433
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:25.480
Then there's content creators. You've got
baking people who do that. He

434
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.599
called on those top people who had
top followers, the most followers to be

435
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:36.960
on his competitive show. So I
came up with I said, well that

436
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:43.800
they call themselves social media creators,
cooks social media and then you got your

437
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.320
prep cooks coming out. That was
on Catfish anyway, that was on Catfish.

438
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.000
Two people they indicting business and they
were going to start it together.

439
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:55.000
Well the fellow thought he started off
and don't tell a girl. So then

440
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.199
you know the catfish people, no
help, I'm being hidden. That's that

441
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:02.159
that show. It's this weird things
he had me watching. But his prep

442
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:10.719
cooks who are being flown to La
to cook and cater for events. And

443
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.559
I see it on Housewives. They
hire these these chefs that are becoming known,

444
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.519
whether they win the competition show or
not, they'll fly them to them

445
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:22.880
have the whole thing. Here's your
staff, Okay, thank you, clean

446
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.840
up by, here's your check.
So you got to be watching You've got

447
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.400
I am so glad And again this
morning I was just thinking, thank you

448
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:35.039
God. I'm so glad. My
my field, my discipline, is one

449
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:39.800
of a few that where we are
gonna be continued learners. We're gonna be

450
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.519
continued learners for the rest of my
life as a social worker. Because I

451
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.679
need to know the laws. I
need to know the updates on the laws.

452
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.920
I need to know what you know, what's the effects? And I

453
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.199
know we're here in Orlando. They've
moved into you know, community stuff.

454
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:59.440
I'm about neighborhood stuff. We need
to go door to door and ask are

455
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:01.880
you okay? Do you have everything
you need? If I could take care

456
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.000
of these four or five streets out
here, this neighborhood, then we could

457
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:13.119
join community. Then we join community. But I got to make sure everybody's

458
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.360
okay on my street, even if
whether you're speaking to me or not.

459
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:22.440
If I say I'm a community engager, what are you saying? How do

460
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.599
you refer to yourself? Okay?
Get out of debt? That was another

461
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:30.159
thing. God, the content we
put that and get out of debt.

462
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:34.320
Inflation is right around the corner.
Come January first, it's gonna hike.

463
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.800
It's gonna go crazy, and we
can't. We can't. I might.

464
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.320
I got a text from my insurance
company and they're like, starting in February

465
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.800
when it's your renewal time, there's
gonna be some new thing, new conversations.

466
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.000
I said. I called my I
said, look at it. I

467
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.360
called my insurance agent on Friday.
I said, I got to email a

468
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.880
text, a text. I tell
y'all don't text me, but I get

469
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.320
a text telling me in February,
I gotta look at my prices, gonna

470
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.159
let's look at my plan, let's
look at my plane. He said,

471
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:05.480
I'm so sorry, I said,
you can't. You can't help yourself.

472
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.960
You work for the people you've been
working for for thirty years. You can't

473
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.039
help it. But you can't do
that to me. So let's look at

474
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.679
my plan. Let's see what we
can trim the fat on. So some

475
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.039
of you may need to go.
And you know, make sure you got

476
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.840
your deductible. Make sure you've got
your coverage just in case you hit somebody,

477
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.079
but make sure take a look at
that. Save me forty dollars and

478
00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:32.039
one phone call forty dollars, so
you know. And on unemployment, I

479
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:36.760
don't know what to say about unemployment, because there are jobs for everybody,

480
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.119
but nobody wants to work. And
so you're gonna walk in the store and

481
00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:45.559
there's only two cashiers and there are
nine lanes. So you get over it

482
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:49.679
just standing in the line, or
go to the self check out and hush,

483
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.920
stop complaining. This man in Dollar
General, oh my god, on

484
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.079
Saturday, he is just a complaining. It is a complaining. And I'm

485
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.199
like, oh my god, if
he don't be quiet, I don't want

486
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.119
to say nothing. I don't want
to disrespect myne elders. But he was

487
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.320
just trying to find conversation and and
he's just oh that oh, I know

488
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.599
that stuff. That's that thing over
there that ain't gonna work. It ain't

489
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.880
gonna work. And the cashier is
like, sir, you know that way

490
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.639
ain't gonna work. Well, I'm
gonna I'm gonna get out the line.

491
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.000
I'm gonna go see if it works
and where it works for the other customer,

492
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.199
he said, well, he having
problems with so I'm gonna go back.

493
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:19.960
So he had to pass me.
And I'm hippie, so you know

494
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.039
I couldn't go. But unless I
go into the gun, you know the

495
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:27.440
displayed so you got you get the
way best way you can. Just don't

496
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.840

saying. So you know, I'm like

497
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:34.199
and sure. Now I'm at the
thing, I'm by myself. I'm putting

498
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.599
my items up and everything. The
cashier guy, he's working with me,

499
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:40.280
ma'am you you need some help over
out. No, not from you,

500
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:52.400

been impressed with you. I'm not and

501
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.679
they were like everybody was like crick, It's like, oh dang, because

say, yeah, I can see,

503
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.679
I can see you can help yourself
sir, just help yourself. No more

504
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.519
conversation, please, Jesus. I
ran. I didn't know I could run,

505
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.880
because you know, I don't have
toes. But I ran in my

506
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.719
crocs. It was starting to misty
rain. I didn't care. I didn't

507
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:15.360
want that man to see what I
was driving. I didn't want him to

508
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.480
see why I was parked. I
didn't I'm throwing the stuff in the back,

509
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:22.559
just throwing the paper, toller.
I. I pushed the basket up

510
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:24.800
to the store. I hope if
wit it. I don't even care.

511
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:29.679
I got it for a car,
trying to back out because I don't want

512
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.119
this man to see me. I
don't want him to say because I may

513
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:34.760
hit you. I may just run
you over and get seventy five points.

514
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:37.519
Okay, I don't know. But
anyway, he was just too much.

515
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:44.039
Okay, So get out of that
inflation. Get your business plan. You

516
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:45.239
need to have a three to five
year business plan, and you need to

517
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:50.000
recheck it. You need to be
checking off what you've done, check off

518
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:52.679
what you don't need. God is
getting ready. He is getting he's being

519
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:58.199
very very serious, and he's gonna
be taking care of us next year more

520
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:00.880
than ever. He's already getting rid
of the enemies. He's already moving the

521
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:05.559
chaos off our path so that we
can have a clear shot. But you've

522
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:07.559
got to listen to the Lord.
You've got to know his voice, and

523
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:12.079
you've got to apply even if you
don't have a business, just the business

524
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:16.159
of your life, running your life. Get yourself organized. Go ahead and

525
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:20.239
throw out stuff that you ain't wearing
or giving them to good will. Those

526
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.599
people need people need clothes right now, I got two text messages about people

527
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:30.239
needing clothes. Come on, now, you know you're not using it.

528
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:31.760
Go through your pots in your pants. In your opinion, what is the

529
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:35.840
best way to learn how to write
a business plan? Okay? Country?

530
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.880
See? I follow the who what? When? Wearing? How? Five

531
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:46.199
w's and sometimes an age because who
is your target? What are you doing?

532
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:51.320
Where are you doing it at?
When are you going to do it?

533
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:54.039
Who? What? When wearing?
How? That's a rough draft.

534
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.679
You can always call you call us
because we know how to write business plans

535
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:02.639
as well. But I'm telling you
that's the what's the what's what is it

536
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.800
that you want to do? Who
are you called to do it for?

537
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.840
How are you going to do it? Don't worry about it. If you

538
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:14.280
got third, I've got I'm on
a page list independent provider list of three

539
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:19.440
three pages full, and my company
starts with the l so I'm the second

540
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.079
down to the bottom and people still
find me. I still have work.

541
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:28.400
So don't worry about the competition.
Know who your competition is, though it

542
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.920
depends on your business. I went
to the pop up shop last week last

543
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:38.440
weekend. You know, we got
five tables selling lashes. Five tables selling

544
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:44.960
lashes. What's wrong with that picture? Because you can ask the host.

545
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.599
She'll tell you who's coming what.
She asked us, what are you selling?

546
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.400
I'm the only one there with my
books? And he told God told

547
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:55.719
we leave the candles, because now
all of a sudden, everybody got candles.

548
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:02.119
They selling And it's okay, you're
finding yourself. That's fine. There's

549
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:07.599
enough work for there's enough for everybody. Just have your customers. The people.

550
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:09.639
Did you know they're gonna come and
buy? We buy from you each

551
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:15.480
other? Well count you see.
I hope I'll answered your question. But

552
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:16.599
yeah, start with who, what, when, where, and how?

553
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:22.079
That's the first day. Who's your
audience? What are you doing? You

554
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.960
know you may just start just a
lawn business. But your lawn business.

555
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.239
I removed my lawn guy don't remove
the tree limbs. He don't cut the

556
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:35.760
tree limbs. You welcome. So
I didn't know that at first because I

557
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:37.920
was like, well, you know
the limbs, you're leaving them and putting

558
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:39.639
them back in the little flower bed, and he said yeah. But then

559
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:44.559
he finally told me, you know, I had a bad situation with me

560
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:46.039
trimming tree, so I don't do
it anymore. I'm like, okay,

561
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:52.920
so I gotta find somebody else that
trim trees. So you you, your

562
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.719
company may be you know, we're
gonna trim trees. We got tall ladders,

563
00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:00.880
you know, and that's what we'll
do. What do you do differently?

564
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:04.360
Do you offer your hours in the
evening? Do you offer hours on

565
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.599
a Sunday? What do you do
different And that's one thing as a grant

566
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.440
writer we would look for. We
call it a value added dimension. Excuse

567
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:14.480
me, guys, I'm sorry I
did that. Value added dimension? And

568
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.239
what that is what makes you different
from the other twenty five people who just

569
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.360
apply and don't have to be the
big thing. It could be your hours

570
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:30.280
of availability. But if God has
given this for you to do he's gonna

571
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:32.480
eat. You got the funding out
there, you got the sponsors out there.

572
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.800
Can I add something to Lisa,
Yes, go ahead please. And

573
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:45.079
also your staff, so if you
hire veterans, or if you hire minorities,

574
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:52.320
or if you hire persons with disabilities, you know that could also stand

575
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:57.719
out. You have some people who
have disabilities. When I'm talking about disabilities,

576
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:02.239
intellectually disabled or developed mentally disabled that
are high functioning. You know that

577
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:06.480
can maybe serve you know, a
couple of car there was a serve a

578
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.519
cup of coffee or or something like
that. But those are some of the

579
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:15.000
things that could stand out from your
business and people will do it. If

580
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:20.760
you're hiring teams or at risk use
or something that can be a tip of

581
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.159
things that you can do. So
I'm throwing it out there so if anybody

582
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:29.920
wants to grab that and that's what
you want to look at that or even

583
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:34.760
sometimes people don't want to look at
this, even ex felons people who have

584
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.880
a record. I'm not saying you
put them with everything, but that's a

585
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.960
start, you know, and find
out what skills they have and in that

586
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.280
way, that could be something that
could be grants out there for that particular,

587
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.000
you know, target population as well. And I do believe that there

588
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:57.280
are some incentives for businesses that hire
people have a background, people who are

589
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.880
minorities, people who disabilities, So
there are different things out there for that.

590
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.880
Amen, thank you, go ahead, Timmy. I know UPS has

591
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:13.440
a program called Second Chance and they
hire a lot of people that might have

592
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:17.119
had I don't know how deep the
record can be, but they do have

593
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:23.039
a program called Second Chance. But
you hit it on the nail when you

594
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:30.239
said there are grants out there for
these different areas in order for your business

595
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:37.480
to get started, and it's like
the way the government will invest in you

596
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:44.360
by you investing in the people.
So that is very good information and I

597
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:49.599
just want more that there are companies
that have but it's called second Chance,

598
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.480
and like you said, there are
certain areas they can't go in, but

599
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:58.840
there are areas that they can participate
in and give them a chance. And

600
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.199
I do just want to add this
to before we go off air. But

601
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:06.480
also too, if you have a
record, you know there are some there's

602
00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:10.519
something just like Tommy was saying that
that would hire persons, give persons a

603
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:16.800
second chance. But there's also entrepreneurship
opportunities that you can create yourself. And

604
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:22.119
so you know, there's skills that
people learn in jail or prisons that they

605
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.400
can that they can you know,
bring out into the community. So I

606
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.760
don't I want don't want people to
get discouraged because I know that could be

607
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:35.039
discouraging thing that said, well,
I have a record and I can't work.

608
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.239
Create your own. People like to
eat, people need a service,

609
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:45.320
people need commercial drivers CDLs. You
know, if you have that, you

610
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:46.719
know might not be a whole lot
of other stuff that you can do.

611
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:52.199
But create that for yourself. I've
seen it done, and so you know,

612
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:58.679
your own rig owner or transportation company. Just just look at the rules

613
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:00.599
and stuff and see if you qualify
fire for that. But don't be discouraged

614
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:06.639
about that. Amen. Amen.
And I mean, you know, if

615
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:09.719
you could bake cakes, bake cakes
and do it thematically, don't wait for

616
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:15.360
Thanksgiving and Christmas. No use your
social media if you just don't Facebook,

617
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:19.440
create a flyer real quick and say
hey, I've got specialty cakes for Mother's

618
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.199
Day for graduations. I mean,
I would you know if I was able

619
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.159
to do that, That's what I
would be doing. I'm not gonna wait

620
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:28.519
till Thanksgiving and Christmas. No,
there's all kinds of celebrations going on,

621
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:31.320
birthday cakes and you know, different
things like that. I do want to

622
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:36.599
add some information. A while back
we were talking about bet you didn't know,

623
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:39.719
and I wonder if you knew.
And this is a sidebar here real

624
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.159
quickly only got two minutes. But
did you know that for folks who get

625
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:50.039
the medical marijuana card, that they're
put on a list and there they are

626
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:54.920
tracked. They're not allowed to own
a gun, and in some cases you

627
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:02.320
get disqualified for life insurance. I
didn't know that. I did not know

628
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:06.360
that, but yes, I got
it on good tip. And this is

629
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:10.440
not only for Florida. This is
nationwide. So everybody, you keep running

630
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:15.280
to get that stuff, and you
got to know what rights are taking away

631
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.280
from you and that you're being monitored. Oh my wife country. See.

632
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:23.039
I don't know why, but that's
the government, that's big brother. You

633
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.800
know. They got to make money. So they're like, okay, all

634
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.599
right, so we got this population, this age group, they do it,

635
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.000
so all right, we got to
make sure we can make it stronger

636
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:36.199
and stuff like that, and then
we can impact their decision making and things

637
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:38.000
like that and we take some of
their rights away. You know, I

638
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:45.360
don't know anyway. Merry Christmas,
guys, Happy New Year, enjoy your

639
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.519
