Speaker 1 0:01

Proverbs 22, . Verse 29 says Do you see a man skillful in his work ? He will stand before kings . He will not stand before obscure men . Fellow Marketplace Christians , stop apologizing and start winning . Welcome to the Success Edge , the show that helps you take your walk as a Marketplace Christian to the next level . Here's your host Christian entrepreneur Tyler McHart .

Speaker 2 0:28

What's going on ? King's Success List this is Tyler McHart coming at you , episode 413 , I believe Decided to be able to do this episode with you guys , this episode with you guys , and I'm on a walk , so if you hear some birds in the background , a little bit of wind or a car passing by , you'll know that Mr McCart here

Mikkel's Inspiring Burger King Story

Speaker 2 1:12

is on a walk . The story that I want to tell is something I just actually just watched on Instagram , and it's about a high school student . His name is Mikkel and he actually lives here in the area that I currently right now live which is Dekula , georgia , that's Dracula without an R .

Speaker 2 1:35

Okay , dekula . Anyway , mikkel just graduated high school . Um , mikkel just graduated high school but , uh , for the last couple of years he's actually been working over here at the local Burger King and just doing what Mikkel does , according to the actual Instagram feed , which was actually published on CBS evening news published on CBS evening news . So the story of Mikkel is Mikkel does Mikkel . What now ? What does that mean ?

Speaker 2 2:14

Mikkel likes to work and he works really hard , but he does it expecting nothing in return . That is worth thinking about right there , that he works hard , expecting nothing in return . And the reporter actually asked him . He said so you know , if you were to go and work at Burger King , would you work for free ? He said yeah , absolutely . He said because I know that if I give of my time give of whatever and I enjoy what I it's a privilege for me to go and serve someone else . Give of whatever and I enjoy what I it's a privilege for me to go and serve someone else . Well , on the night of his graduation , he graduates with honors from high school , which is great . Everybody's really excited . After his graduation , he decides to go back and get a quick bite to eat and it just so happens he goes to Burger King . So he walks into Burger King , where he actually works at , and quickly realizes that all his coworkers are overwhelmed with a whole bunch of orders and they're getting behind .

Speaker 2 3:48

Mikkel jumps behind the counter , takes off his I guess he still had on his medal or whatever he had from his graduation jumped in behind the counter , started helping without being on the clock yes , I said without being on the clock he starts serving and starts helping helping his coworkers get back things the way they need to be serving customers . But it was interesting . This one lady walked in and just happened to actually record the whole situation that took place with the McHale

Kingdom vs. Marketplace Mentality

Speaker 2 4:36

and wound up taking that video , posting it on a crowdfunded sourcing platform and wound up raising for him two hundred thousand dollars . And the lady that took the video , she said I , I was just amazed , I was so just . She said not many people would do what he's doing , especially at 18 years old and just had graduated from high school .

Speaker 2 5:19

The night of his high school graduation majorityity of kids what about partying , going seeing their friends , spending their last time with their buddies ? But that's not what Mikkel did . And Mikkel , without having any expectation of outcome , wound up receiving that $200,000 and now is going to take that money , apply it to trade school so that he can actually open up his own mechanic shop and become a master mechanic Gang . Isn't that a good story ? Isn't that just powerful right there ? And I bring it all back to this whole kingdom mindset , this whole kingdom mindset of actually doing the kingdom of God in the business place , in the marketplace , because the marketplace traditionally is dog eat dog . It is get all you can get , keep all you can keep so that you can get yours .

Speaker 2 6:44

And I don't think that sometimes people have the intentions of hurting other people or doing wrong to other people . But it happens , or it even happens to ourselves , where that we're so fixated on trying to make the sale or we're so fixated on trying to make our business work , whatever it is make our business work whatever it is that we get so hung up in that that we sabotage ourselves . We actually get way more stressed out , we overeat , we have higher whatever cortisol stuff going on in our body that causes us to be sick ,

Jesus as a Successful Businessman

Speaker 2 7:30

and we do that to ourselves . But the kingdom , the kingdom Jesus , made it very clear that to seek his kingdom and his righteousness , his way of doing things , and it shall be added to you Now let's turn and look at Jesus real quick , jesus in His ministry . Well , let's go back and actually look at Jesus , and I didn't even plan on saying this right here , but Jesus was a carpenter and we don't know what happened to Joseph we can assume that Joseph passed away , possibly .

Speaker 2 8:29

well , as Joseph is not in the story , his earthly father is no longer in the story , being that Jesus was the firstborn in the Jewish culture . Well , he actually received his father's business and , as him being in his father's business , he actually became the now provider for all of his younger siblings and his mother . Well , we don't have the details , but I can imagine that Jesus never got stressed out about an order he needed to fill for a fellow client of his fellow business , fellow client of his . He never was stressed out about how am I going to be able to make a sale , or make a sale that's going to ?

Speaker 2 9:21

you know , put food on my table . Never was sitting there thinking about probably those things . All Jesus was thinking about probably was how can I serve this person ?

Speaker 1 9:32

How can ?

Speaker 2 9:33

I add value to this individual , so much so that , with that mindset and that use of that kingdom mindset of sowing and reaping Because how does the kingdom work ? What does the kingdom operate on ? This is where the big distinction is , guys , the kingdom operates on sowing and reaping , not buying and selling , it doesn't ? That's the major difference . So , with that in mind , jesus was giving his services , so much so that he must have created such an abundance of wealth . Right saying this , right that in the culture , if you became a rabbi and stepped away from your family , obviously you had an inheritance that you had generated , so large that you could take care of your family , especially being the firstborn . Well , you can research that a little bit if you want to .

Speaker 2 10:49

Kingdoms of God's listener , but I believe Jesus did that . You can research that a little bit if you want to . Kingdoms of God's listener , but I believe Jesus did that . I believe Jesus had created enough of a business to where that he was able to , you know , farmed and had to live off the you know or go beg for bread . It never says that in Scripture , does it ? So you have to sit there and think , man , how in the world did Jesus make it ?

Speaker 2 11:26

It was all around sowing and reaping and I feel like that , with this mindset that we can have , that we can adopt in the kingdom and I'm adopting it right now even more I'm renewing my mind more

Releasing Outcomes for Greater Harvest

Speaker 2 11:42

and more that a big enemy . So if you adopt this mindset now , hear me on this , okay , I said this to my son early this morning when you actually start to sow , when you actually start to add value to others , you start to give into other people . You cannot be hung up on the outcome , you can't be focused .

Speaker 1 12:18

You know the harvest is going to come .

Speaker 2 12:21

You know it will . It's just automatic . But you can't try to figure out how . One of the enemies of your harvest is how the harvest is going to come . Let that kind of sink in the enemy . A enemy to your harvest is the how you trying to figure out the how the harvest is going to come . That's where we have to stop doing that . Can't be focused on that .

Speaker 2 13:01

All we need to be focused on is how can I create value for this client , for this person , even beyond me ? Creating him a piece of artwork about it he's a client of mine that way or doing this CAD drawing for this building of this client , or trying to sell a piece of real estate for this client . It goes way beyond that . Way beyond that . That the thing that you sell is just the platform . It's just the way to get the conversation going between you and that person . But that's the opportunity for you to actually be able to add value , create more value for that person . That's the whole thing is releasing the outcome , releasing how the harvest will come , just knowing the harvest will come . I'm actually kind of preaching to myself right now because at the time of this , recording the current business with my family business that I'm starting to create with this whole family banking , which is beyond just even permanent life insurance , but really estate planning and getting your businesses in order for succession planning , because those types of things are so important down the road . Having a long-term mindset , being able to pass down the values and values and the vision to your family , to your kids and your grandkids this is what it's all about , guys . So for me , right now

Final Encouragement for Success

Speaker 2 15:12

God's put this in my heart and currently , right now , all I want to do is just create value . I'm not trying to my flesh wants me to get hung up on the outcome or think , oh man , you haven't made a whole lot of sales or you haven't helped out a whole lot of people , in which that's an untrue statement . But this joint venture that we have with our Heavenly Father , that joint venture that any farmer has , where that they sow the seed , they till the soil , they prepare the ground , they make sure that the pests and insects and rodents stay out of the farm , they do all those things right there , and it's the Lord that brings the rain , it's the Lord that actually brings the growth , brings the harvest . It's this joint venture , guys , that we have .

Speaker 2 16:26

This is how this whole kingdom thing works . It's that simple . You have to sow , you have to put in , give the Lord something to work with and then release it , believing and knowing that God is faithful and he is to work with and then release it , believing and knowing that God is faithful and he is . He's put these things in our earth . Seed time and harvest will always be here . It's part of our earthly makeup . You can't get away from it . So , kingdom success . Know that you're blessed , you're highly favored , you're empowered to prosper . Walk in divine health . The spirit of breakthrough is upon you . Guys and gang , we'll catch you on the other side .
