Let's see what you will have

This is your opportunity to ask me anything that currently a challenge or an obstacle for you. What are you dealing with? Is money concerns bothering you? Are you overwhelmed because you feel that you don't have enough time to get everything done? Do you feel that you need change but don't know how to get started or which direction to go in? Or are your questions more related to life in general? Anything and everything is open to inquiry. I'll record a video to answer your question and post it here.

Picture this — I am standing tall with an axe in my hand building a purple cow. I know that probably sounds like a strange image, but I think that by the time you’re done reading this very long essay, it will make sense. First, @Rasheed Hooda, I want to say thank you for the comment that inspired this post. Please know that I truly appreciate your words of wisdom and your humble and gentle nudge. I know you care, and I believe you are trying to help. And based on what you know about me so far, you are giving me the kind of positive nudge that a good coach or friend would give. And I really do appreciate that! I also continue to agree with the concept that “done is better than perfect,” and I do not dismiss that at all. In fact, I think people who are building anything meaningful need to hear that from time to time because it is easy to get stuck polishing something that never gets released. But I also think there is another side to this that may not be visible from the outside. What may look like perfectionism is, in my case, what I call preparation with purpose. For those who are reading this who don't know anything about my history, back in late 2020, while recovering from COVID, I had an idea for starting what I call a For-Profit Ministry. After months of research and planning what this could become, my wife Jodell and I incorporated in May of 2021. That plan had many moving parts that each needed to be researched. Between May of 2021 and January of 2024, we struggled with life events but kept pushing forward, one day at a time. In January of 2024, I jumped into creating videos and thought I could do both: continue to build the systems I needed and create content at the same time. However, by December of 2024, I realized I had taken on too much and had to stop dividing my focus. I knew that if I kept trying to move forward with a divided focus, I was never going to reach the ultimate goal of the ministry. I also knew that my wife and I had agreed that we were not going to build another business that depended on employees the way some of our past companies did.

A few weeks back I had the honor of walking my youngest daughter down the aisle and I find myself creating a new normal...for the routine of life. That got me to thinking about how sometimes we feel stuck in a rut...and when that happens I would encourage each of us to ask ourselves this question: What would it look like to get out of this rut? Then map a plan to get from where you are to where you want to be. Because the definition of insanity is continuing to do what we have always done and expecting different results. If your making a change and want to talk about it, or want help thinking it through feel free to comment below.
