A short motivational YouTube talk advising business owners that to grow and scale effectively they must prioritize faith (broadly defined), family, and self-care. The speaker frames fear and faith as a spectrum, asks listeners to identify their fears (market conditions, rates, social unrest, etc.), and recommends placing faith in a consistent support—whether God, a coaching program, or a mastermind—to move out of fear mode. The closing message is to ‘trust God and chill.’
Essentially this is the way Eric laid it out for us, is that you will not be effective building, you know, growing and scaling your business, adding an administrator or agents, you know, building a team or interacting with clients if you don't have the God family self handled. And even though I'm kind of generalizing this and saying, you know, have some sort of faith trust, something bigger than yourself, I do believe that there is, I don't call it a higher power, but coming from liberal parents who didn't have any sort of intimate sense of God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, let's call it a holy power, there's something bigger out there that should be guiding you. And if you want to have a direct conversation about your faith, for sure, reach out to me. I am not the expert, I am not a biblical scholar, but I can definitely help you with that as well. But prioritize the relationship with God, the relationship with your family, and then the relationship with yourself. So if you are off on those three things, chances are you are not going to be any good to anyone as it relates to scaling your business, adding team members and serving them at the highest level and then, and then having them love on your clients ultimately. So you're going to be disconnected if you don't have the base of this dialed in properly. And so this isn't necessarily like an alter call or where like hey, like if you don't know Jesus, like this is your time. And at the same time I really, I want you to, and this is the little bit of a challenge is that I want you to take some quiet time and just kind of think about where you place your faith. Two questions. Where you place your faith, Is it in a coaching program, a way of doing business, your own abilities, or if you aren't, if you don't have a lot of faith, are you more fearful? There is a spectrum of faith and fear. Are you more fearful? And then what makes you fearful? And then I would argue that there's this virtuous cycle of faith and fear. If you can identify the things that make you fearful, like mortgage rates, the global unrest, the social unrest in the U.S. mortgage rates, oh, the market's going to crash or there's not enough inventory, you know, whatever you're spinning in your head in terms of your fears, by refocusing on God or your faith, your family, and getting those relationships right, and then ultimately taking care of yourself. And that's your emotional well being, that's your physical wellbeing, and obviously your spiritual well being, which kind of links back into the. Into the faith and the God part. So that's my challenge for you. Just take a little bit of quiet time to really think about how you're showing up, how you're operating. And if you're leaning towards the fear side of things right now, you've got to take some steps backward and realize that even if, for now, it's not faith in God or, you know, walking alongside Jesus, it could just be faith in, you know, in coming alongside real estate, B school, or coming alongside a mastermind group or a productivity partner in your local market. To place your faith in something that's consistent, that can give you the stability to get out of fear mode. And so trust God and chill. That's the ultimate message.
