Speaker 1It's kind of amazing .
Speaker 2Anyway , hey guys , I'm actually here in my office and I wanted to deliver to you guys this content and , again , just keep the conversation going and really just kind of keep talking with you guys about how to maximize your potential in the marketplace for the kingdom of God . That's my goal . I mainly direct this towards guys , towards men , but , ladies , you are more than welcome to be along for the ride as well . And , with that said , I do want to kind of pause and just give a quick shout out to my sponsor , which is actually the business that I have recently started up . Some of you guys have known that that is , I've actually started educating and teaching people how to set up their own family bank and I'm I'm probably gonna be doing a webinar here in the future , probably in about a month or two , on that .

Or you can send your email Just a good way to get in touch with you and I can send you the information you request , and that'd be great . So , yeah , if you're interested in family banking , just let me know that .
Speaker 2Anyway , I remember when I picked this book up I believe the book
actually when I found it , it was actually handed to me by a gentleman that was at a business meeting and he said , man , look , just got done reading this book . And this book has radically changed who I am and what I am , and I would highly recommend this to you , tyler . Well , if you know anything about me , I am a stickler for books , I am a lifelong learner , I really enjoy learning , and that is something that I've always done and always , will still always do . And so when he handed me this book , it was a red book and it was a book , a storybook actually , and the book was kind of called the Go-Giver , not to be confused with another book called the Go-Getter , which is also a storybook . But the Go-Getter has a whole different mindset , has a whole different way of thinking , which I still think is a great book and a great mindset to have .
Speaker 2But the Go-Giver really shifted my thinking and it really actually what it did for me at that time in my life , because at that time I think I was right around 30 , 31 years old . At that time I think I was right around 30 , 31 years old and it was at a time where I was really piecing together how to actually put into practice or what does it look like to do the kingdom of God actually in the marketplace . Let me make sure you hear that At that time in my life I was in the marketplace . Let me make sure you hear that At that time in my life I was in corporate sales . I was working for a big Fortune 500 company at the time and I wanted a way out of the traditional way of doing things in the marketplace . I wasn't interested in that anymore and I wanted to know what the Word of God and I had dug deep into the Word of God , finding different ways of doing things .
Speaker 2And I remember this quote that was given to me by a minister . His name is Mike Murdoch and the quote went like this , he said , and it was almost like he was talking to Tyler right
. The quote basically said what you make happen for another , god will make happen for you . What you make happen for another , god will make happen for you . What you make happen for another , god will make happen for you . And I remember that quote whenever I heard him say that and actually read it in one of his books .
Speaker 2But , man , that really profoundly impacted me and led me to this book called the Go-Giver , because when I read the Go-Giver it opened up my eyes to seeing holy cow . This is literally without using anything of the Bible , like a scripture verse or a passage from the Bible . None of that was used inside this book and it was a complete story of how that when you take your eyes off yourself and you make it about the other person , your whole world changes . Your whole world goes to a shift to actually to actually giving and receiving Instead of being more transactional , which that's what I was doing . I was more transactional of like , okay , hey , if I help this person out , I'm going to get something out of this , and it wasn't exactly horrible , but it still wasn't the best To where that I was could kind of elevate my brain to the kingdom way to actually when Jesus would talk about . You know , the kingdom of God is among you , or is . I'm come to bring the kingdom to you . The kingdom is based upon sowing and reaping , upon giving and receiving , and this little red book , the Go-Giver , was the story that kind of opened my eyes up that this actually could literally happen . So now flash forward here . I am 47 years young , by the way , and I'm now moving into a new venture of you know , with you know , helping people , working with people , educating people in what I do .
Speaker 2And I had listened to this book many , many years ago and it was the follow-up book . It was the follow-up book called Go Givers , sell More . So in essence , what it was for me at that time it was kind of the blocking and tackling . It was the okay .
Speaker 2That was a great story about this guy who was in corporate sales , who was really struggling to meet his numbers , and basically he went on this journey to learn how to actually that really , if you choose to give , all you need to do is be open to receive and guess what ? Things will always work out for you . But things will always work out for you Now , in the Bible way of looking at . That is when you actually go and you give , you do what the Lord says to say to do , to give unto
someone else , go and make something else happen for another . Guess what God will make it happen for you , or make something happen for you . That's basically quintessentially it . But again , actually having the blocking attacker . What does that really mean in actually the day-to-day workplace ?
Speaker 2Well , this book called Go Givers , sell More really did open my eyes up and I decided about a week and a half ago , at the time of this recording , to go back and re-listen to that audio book . And as I started re-listening to it , I actually went back and said you know , I don't actually own the physical copy of this book , so I'm actually going to go in and buy the physical copy . So I did , I did and I just want to read off a couple of the things , a couple of things that , as I've been reading through this book , why this is so important . Now let me say this before I go any further A lot of you guys that are listening to my podcast you might sit there and say , hey , you know , because I know , I know I've got a couple of you guys , a couple of ladies that say I'm just a mom .
Speaker 2All right , I'm not in sales . I don't believe in sales , I don't want to even think about sales and I get that . So let me , let me talk just about you know , 60 seconds to this part of my audience .
Speaker 2If I could Please hear me ? Please hear me . You might not have a sales title , but you're in sales . That young child of yours that doesn't want to eat their green beans or that doesn't want to , you know , go and clean up their room . You have to actually put yourself in their shoes . Help them see the reason why it is beneficial for them to actually go and clean their room , all right , so you are , in essence , selling to them . You're giving to them which , by the way . So that's my little take . So even the mom , the stay-at-home mom , is in sales . Isn't that just wild to think about ?
Speaker 2As a parent , I am constantly selling my children on why it is so good to be in love with the Lord and to follow hard after Him Every day . I'm doing that , whether it's my actions or whether it's my attitude towards them , but I am always selling . I'm selling the gospel . I'm selling how good it is to actually be on this adventure with the Holy Spirit . Even though it is adventurous and even though sometimes there are some low times with that adventure , guess what ? It always works out at the end and the adventure is so worth it being on this adventure with the Holy Spirit . I'm selling that and I hope that you see that , guess what ? Don't ever sit there and shortcut yourself and say , no , I don't like being in sales because , guess what , you're in sales .
Speaker 2Now here's one of the interesting things about . I just want to go over this real quick with you . Two quick things , okay . One is the word sales actually comes from the old English word saline . Right , saline , I think I'm saying that , right , let me there . It is Selan , selan , selan , all right , s-e-l-l-a-n . And guess what the meaning is ? It means to give . How about that ? To give , that is literally what the word selling in
the old English word . It means to give . And with that said so , it helps you kind of change your mindset , help change how you think about selling in a good way .
Speaker 2One of the other things that I want to make sure that comes across with this episode here is selling is not about you . Okay , selling is not about you . What we have to understand is selling is all about the other person . All right , let me just read this quick , easy definition of selling . Please hear this . It's about learning what people do want to do and helping them do that . Let me make sure you understand that , because a lot of times we get this backwards . All right , let me make sure you understand that , cause a lot of times we get this backwards . That you know we're , we're , we're trying to push what we we , we think is the best thing for someone and what they need to do . That's , that's that's the we start with us versus we start with the other person on the other end and begin with them . We learn about what people do want to do and help them do that .
Speaker 2It's about giving people more advantages , guys , it really is , and I wanted just to promote this book , If you want to call it that , Go , Give or Sell More to you just in this short episode right here . I think it'd be a fantastic read for you . I think it'd really help you because it really is a . If you can study this , if you actually really take it to heart , which .
Speaker 2I've already read , the Go-Giver multiple times , that book . I've also read now this book here once or listened to it on audio once many years ago . I've now come back to it . I've already listened to it again . Now I'm even going to take a deeper dive and actually start taking the actual this book , the Go-Giver , Sell More and really kind of honing in and utilizing this Because , again , this is kingdom , it really is . This is the closest thing I've found in all the books I've read , which I've read a lot of of is a great way to show how , demonstrate how the kingdom of God operates in sales , and maybe one day I might write a book about this kind of putting it a little
bit in a different spin , in my own spin maybe , but right now this is where it's at okay .
Speaker 2So , king's Success Guys , I just want you to know I love you , I appreciate you . Again , I'm going to be doing a webinar .
