How to be a man on Tuesday nights 7pm HillSpring Church Meat with Meat. Burgers and Bible. 

Picking up my lunch at the drive through… that’ll be 14.37.  I looked at the kid handed him a $20 and said 5.63… a few seconds go by and the kid goes hey thats the exact change… wow pretty good. I smiled and said ‘yea I took a pretty advanced math class in college”. He nodded and said ‘yeah, you can tell”.

Your competition is not out there… your only competition is you.

This generation is so divided down the line… half hate America, life is unfair, lazy, want everything handed to them…

The other half is wanting to make a name for themselves, but might lack direction or have a plan. 

Proverbs 14:23 : "All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty." 

 

You will be a success simply by working hard in a world of co-horts who are too busy playing the blame game. 

While everyone is taking about how hard it is, how others have a unfair advantage… look, I’m old and white so everyone thinks I have it easy… I have written 14 books… they all were hard work. I have started 89 different businesses… they all took sacrifice and were hard work. 

 

 

John 15 - whoever abides in me… what is this saying to the young man who wants to succeed? Get rid of distractions. Focus on your job… but on how God wants to use you outside your job. What do I mean…. If you work hard 8 hours a day but kill 6 hours a day watching tv, video games, drinking, playing softball… etc… you are distracted from being all you can be. Cut out the distractions and if you are a welder, than work outside your job to be the smartest well rounded, biblically minded, fit welder there is. 

 

Colossians 3:23-24 : "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.

 

What ever you do… Hey what job should I do? Anything you can. Get a job in the trades… chances are you will get trained on site, you will have no college debt, you will immediately have men who will mentor you and you will most likely make between 30-60 dollars… AND most trade jobs you can do side work. My son is a tile guy. He loves it. He works by himself, he puts on his iPod, he needs minimal tools and feels a sense of self fulfillment every day seeing most of his jobs finished within 8 -12 hours. He has already connected with a few other men to do side jobs. Whatever you do…. Make it your best and you will get noticed and move forward. 

 

Matthew 24 The talents… 

 

28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 

If you work hard, and if you are someone who uses his job not just for money but to make God look good… you work to glorify him… you tithe, you share Christ at work, you give to those in need… God will take your talents and give you more. 

 

Look this year I have been asked to fill 2 positions with other companies… one in firearms and protection and the other with a company that works hand in hand with fortune 500 companies…. How did I get these offers?  Honestly, I served both of the CEO for years… I truly trained them in speaking, I coached them in life skills, and I was there to help make them better as men… I poured into them, solely for the reason to make them more like Jesus… and in turn they both offered me incredible positions for work on the side….

 

Finally… have more than two streams of income. Right now I have income coming in from 6 different books. I have incommode coming in from coaching people in life skills, I have income coming in for training people in my gym, I have income coming in from speaking around the country… and I have my Job…

Again how do I get so much done? I only do things I am gifted at and I don’t like to waste time and I built my schedule around systems. YOU CAN DO THE SAME!
