This is episode 200. Oh, some of you have been with us since the beginning. And I'm thankful for that. And I'm thankful for you. Hey, at least I hope you've listened to most of them. But if you haven't, you know, caught up, then go back and catch up. But I'm gonna say it today. This is one of the most powerful episodes ever. Why? Because I want to ask you a question. How is God in your business? That's right. God is all up in your business. Listen, there are sports players that at the end of a win, they say, I want to thank God. There are award shows where they say, Oh, I want to thank God. And you know, sometimes people that are not as believing might say, Well, you know, what does God have to do with anything? Well, if you're asking us believers, we believe he's in everything. Okay. So, you know, win or lose, right? Sometimes, you know, just because we win, we thank God. But uh many of us are those types of people who we thank God, even if we don't win. We thank him in the losses, we thank him for the lessons, we thank him for the wins, we thank him in between. So here goes. I'm going to show you how God is in your business. Number one, he gives you breath. Every morning, when you wake up and you open your eyes, you are breathing God's air. He allowed your heart to be beating all night. He woke you up and you opened your eyes. You don't even know how you opened your eyes most of the time. They just opened. And there you were, alive once again, while there's so many people that didn't make it throughout the night. There's so many people this year that didn't make it. There's so many celebrities that are rich, successful, famous, but they didn't make it. And you're trying to tell me they wouldn't give everything, they wouldn't give all the awards, all the trophies, and all the money back if they could just have another day or two with their families or a week or two. So yeah, God is all up in our business and He gives you breath, number one. But number two, he also gives you opportunities. Now, this is where a lot of people miss it. I don't care how much you are going through, man, you still have opportunities. Every single day, you probably have access to dozens, if not hundreds, of opportunities. Some people would say thousands or even millions. I'll give you an example. Do you have an opportunity to start or grow a business today? Yes or no? Okay, yes, because it doesn't matter if you didn't make any money for a week or for a month. If you're still in it, you're still in it to win it. Anything could happen at any time. I've seen it happen to myself. I've seen it happen to others, where man, you think, okay, this is it. I'm done with this. And then all of a sudden you get the best customer you've ever had. Man, if you have a business, whoo, and you're an entrepreneur, you should be so grateful. Even if you have a job, you have opportunities like no other. Do you know that there's eight billion people on the planet Earth? That means you've got how many opportunities? Eight billion to talk to all of those people, man. To talk to hundreds a week if nothing else. You could run ads, you could do marketing, you could do TikToks, you could do Instagrams, you could do social media, those are all opportunities. YouTube is an opportunity. Just because we don't work it doesn't mean it's not an opportunity. My friend, opportunities exist everywhere. If you write a book, it's an opportunity. If you do an affiliate program, that's an opportunity. If you have a next door neighbor, that's an opportunity. If you got relatives and friends, opportunities everywhere. You can go to seminars, you can do networking, you can do an online Zoom call. You could, there's so many things you can do and you can change it up. I believe even AI is a huge opportunity. Remember with the whole cryptocurrency thing? It was an opportunity. And a lot of people just said, oh, probably it's not going to work for me. But then it worked for so many people and made them millionaires. So opportunities are everywhere. If you have breath in your lungs, number one, then you have opportunities everywhere. You can start 10 businesses if you want to. You can start a hundred businesses if you want to. Who's stopping you? You could bake cookies like we have. You could bake pies like my wife Jeeva has before and sell them. My wife opened a daycare center for six months out of our home. Opportunities exist everywhere. You just need to know where to look. Number three, God gives you gifts, talents, and abilities. Gifts, talents, and abilities. There are some things that you can do that nobody else can do. Only you, and I'm talking about other people could do similar things, but can't nobody do it like you do it? That's the truth. Man, I'm telling you, you have so many skills. You have so many abilities, and nobody can make your meatloaf the way you make it, or nobody can go fishing the way you can go fishing. Or nobody like me can talk the way I talk. I'm on episode 200 of this podcast, and I could do 300 more easily. Just waking up tomorrow morning, I could do 300 straight if I had to. That's just a gift that God has given me. Did you know that once I was the most fearful man on the planet when it comes to speaking, public speaking? No way. You're not gonna get me to speak to 300 people. You're not gonna get me to speak to 30 people. You wouldn't have got me to speak to three people. No way. I felt like I was gonna throw up. I felt like I was gonna get nauseous. I felt like my knees were knocking, my head was sweating, my hands will be shaking, and my wife will tell you, there's no way you can get him to do a lot of everything, but you ain't gonna get him to speak. But then I'm telling you the honest truth. I can take uh credit, I guess, for a lot of stuff where I say I learned this and I learned that and I read this book and I did that, but I cannot take any credit for overcoming my speaking fears. I prayed on this scripture, Joshua 1 9, over and over and over, hundreds of times. God, please help me. Help me with this speaking fear. And the scripture went like this Have I not commanded you to be strong and of a good courage? Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go. And I must have said that thing, that that scripture, hundreds of times, maybe even thousands of times, nothing happened. And then all of a sudden, I got a unique speaking opportunity. Scared to death, got up there and messed around and got a standing ovation. I'm telling you, the spirit of the Lord came upon me, and I felt like I was Tony Robbins, I felt like I was Joel Osteen, I felt like I was like there's nothing that could stop me. And I got a standing ovation. People started screaming and hollering and jumping up and down, talking about how great I was, and I'm like, it wasn't even me. It was God, and that's the truth. Number four, why should we thank God and how is God in our business? He blesses us and favors us. Now there are some things that we do where we can hustle and we can grind and we can go do this and go do that and try a thousand things and we could work 18-hour days and nothing happens. And all of a sudden, somebody calls out of the blue. Some customer, some person, you had no idea where they came from, who they are, how they even know you, and that, my friend, is the favor of God. Favors like, why would you do that? Why would you send me money? Who who are you? Who who how did you even know that I existed? Sometimes God fights your battles. Sometimes he just does stuff and says, Okay, okay, you've had enough. You out of breath now? Good. Now, scoot over. Let me drive. And there's times when God just blesses you and He favors you and He does some great things for you. You had no idea. He was working behind the scenes, behind the curtain, pulling some strings for you so that when you wake up, you've got great health again. You don't know how. It was a miracle. It was favor. You were sick for months or weeks, and all of a sudden, you immediately got well. You can't explain it. It was the favor of God, it was the blessings of God, it was the miracles of God. So, why do people thank God for their business or thank God for the sports or thank God? Because he gives you breath. Yeah, yeah. Then he gives you opportunities, yeah. Then he gives you talents, gifts, and abilities like no other. And then fourth, he blesses you and favors you. And sometimes he gives you a miracle. Hey, talk to the man upstairs sometimes, will you? And you'll find out that he's not just upstairs, he's in your heart too. Have an amazing day. Let's keep it going.
