30 Days To Breakthrough

Welcome to Day #10 of your “30 Days To Breakthrough” journey.

For the past two days we discussed the importance to BE Outstanding and SIMPLIFY. Today our topic is Live on PURPOSE!

QUOTE
“Purpose powers passion!” – John G. Miller

LESSON
One of the things that kept me going through significant trials over the past few years is knowing my life purpose.

To live on purpose, you must know your purpose.

If you haven’t already done so, I suggest you write out your life purpose statement and then read that frequently. Keep it short. It doesn’t have to be perfect or final. It just needs to be. Over time you will refine that.

If the ladder isn’t leaning against the right wall, it doesn’t matter how fast you climb it.

Besides knowing your life purpose, it’s important to live each day, week, month, and year on purpose. Having written goals helps you do that.

What would you do if you knew you had one month to live?

In the Spring of 2009 I read a book called “One Month To Live” by Kerry and Chris Shook. That had a profound impact on me. I particularly liked this Day 1 assignment:

As quickly as possible, without thinking too hard or too long, make a list of five things you’d change about your life if you knew you only had a month to live. Choose at least one to begin changing today, right now.

Give that a try and see what happens. This “30 Days To Breakthrough” is fruit of my doing that.

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, what one thing do you recommend I change about my life this month?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of life. Help me to know and live the purpose you created me for. Teach me to live each day with a sense of urgency, as if I had only one month to live. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to live on purpose!

Welcome to Day #9 of your “30 Days To Breakthrough” journey.

Yesterday we discussed the importance to BE Outstanding. Today we discuss the importance to SIMPLIFY.

QUOTE
“Less is more!” – Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truths

LESSON
The longer I live and the more I experience, the more I become convinced of the importance in simplifying my life.

Instead of us owning our possessions, they can easily end up owning us or at least consuming much of our time.

Our basic needs are food, clothing, and shelter. Everything else is gravy.

Have you ever heard the expression, “The harder I work the further behind I get.” I’ve been on that path far too many times.

If you really want to be a godly steward with your talent, your must let go and let God.

STOP trying to run the universe. Enjoy each day. Take care of yourself. Honor God with the firstfruits of your talent and He’ll take care of the rest.

According to Bernadette Doyle, “The fastest way to have everything is to focus on one thing.”

What will be that ONE THING for you?

Incidentally, I was first referred to Bernadette by Kevin Nations on June 29, 2009 in his email titled “There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between those who SOAR and those who STRUGGLE.”

The next day, June 30, I listened to Bernadette’s teleseminar titled “How to Do What You Love, When You Want, Wherever You Want, With Whoever You Want, and Make The Money You Want.”

I have come to discover Bernadette is someone worth listening to. She’s a great teacher and definitely knows what she is talking about when it comes to more leads, more clients, and more sales.

Bernadette’s business has tripled for 3 consecutive years, allowing her to generates more than $1 million in sales annually working out of her home just 3 days per week. She made this choice to work part-time out of her home to be able to spend lots of quality time with her two little children.

That kind of flexible lifestyle where one can give generously to others is very appealing to me. I’ll bet it’s appealing to you too.

Always remember there is tremendous POWER in focus. White light can be focused through a prism to create a laser beam that can cut through steel.

For me, focusing on completing and improving these daily messages for 30 Days To Breakthrough will play a very important part in my eternal legacy.

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, what simple things can I do to SIMPLIFY my life?
What is the ONE THING you want me to FOCUS on?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, teach me what it really means to seek Your Kingdom and Your righteousness first each day. Help me to SIMPLIFY my life and trust more in You to accomplish Your purposes through me. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to SIMPLIFY and FOCUS on ONE THING!

QUOTE
“People fire organizations!” – John G. Miller

LESSON
Have you ever been fired before by any of your clients? I have. And it’s not fun. As I reflect back on previous business failures, I recognize a common thread – I failed to BE Outstanding!

On February 4, 2010, my son Robbie and I had the privilege of hosting a webinar with John G. Miller titled “Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional.”

John is a world leader in teaching about personal accountability and has written 3 books about that subject, including:

1) “QBQ! The Question Behind The Question”

2) “Flipping The Switch: Five Keys to Success at Work and in
Life”

3) “Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization
Exceptional”

When you learn to BE Outstanding, you will draw the market to you rather than pushing it away.

The principles in John’s book Outstanding! apply to each of us because we all have the opportunity to be outstanding in our own spheres of influence. One person can make a difference. You can make a difference.

Think of how this world would be transformed if each one of us embraced and practiced the mindset of personal accountability as John Miller presents in his books and demonstrates in his own life!

Let’s do as the great apostle Paul commands in Colossians 3:23, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.”

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, what action step can I take this week to BE outstanding?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank you for the talents you have blessed me with. Teach me to BE Outstanding in what I do at home, at work, and elsewhere. May my attitude toward people be pleasing to you. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to BE Outstanding!
