A speaker describes feeling convicted about pursuing $100,000 in annual income for personal wealth, then reframes the goal: earn that much to give it away each year instead.

And I felt the Holy Spirit stand next to me, and we looked at this list, and it's like his hand was over my shoulder. Billy, let's talk about this. $100,000. And I never made that in my life. I don't know of anybody in my family that had made that. And immediately I felt like, almost convicted, like, God, I don't want to be greedy. I would much rather be poor in your will than wealthy out of your will. And not that $100,000 is wealthy, but, I mean, it's okay, right? So he said, you have this. Your goal to make a year.

Yeah, there's people that make that much money that can give that away. Okay, so now the question changes. Now the question is, who do I have to become to serve enough people to earn enough to give away $100,000 a year?
