Ep 31 Your Steps are Ordered #truthbetold

Welcome everyone to the 31st episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is ORDERED STEPS #truthbetold
Did you know your steps are ordered? Well, listen here, let me tell you, they are!! In today’s podcast I share my most recent trip to San Diego and how it became very clear to me how our steps are truly ordered. You see when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He indeed orders our steps. And I can promise you, you want to walk in those steps that are ordered just for you. They are a perfect fit for your shoe size and custom made just for you. I pour a lot of encouragement over you in this episode and even pray.  
I pray that if you haven’t experienced the goodness of God that you do this week. That you truly know how much you are loved by God. And how He has great things in store you! I pray my story encourages you all and I want you all to know that I love you all and if you need someone to pray for you or with you, I am here to do so. Reach out to me directly. For now, lets jump into today’s podcast.

Ep 30 Your Relationship with Time, Time Management, Project Management #entrepreneurialtip

Welcome everyone to the 30th episode of Professor P's Podcast. Welcome to this month’s entrepreneurial tip. The topic for this show is TIME, your relationship with time, time management, and project management. It is vital to your success in business that you understand them all. They are part of the foundation of being an EMPOWERED entrepreneur and one who lives an EMPOWERED life.
For today’s episode I pull from the book Don’t Let Anything Dull Your Sparkle * How to Break Free from Negativity & Drama; Doreen Virtue; Hay House, INC; 2015
Your Relationship with Time
“One source of stress is the way in which you view and manage time. How often have you been upset because you’re running late or behind on a deadline? Time pressure is a major source of stress. Chronic lateness can also lead to relationship arguments. Your brain under stress is focused upon surviving and reacting, and less focused upon planning and creating. With chronic stress, your brain leans – and is rewired – to be focused upon survival and reacting only. It has difficulty amping up the area devoted to devising plans for the future. Constant time urgency takes a toll on your body, brain, and emotions. Here are some time-urgency patters and ways to heal them:
Approval seeking: A mind-set of I must get everything done right now, or I will be in trouble or something bad will happen comes from the desire to prove yourself or to appease a real or imaginary authority figure. Usually, this stems from a childhood where you were working overtime to gain parental acceptance. As an adult, you can transfer the desire to win outside approval to a healthy desire to give yourself approval. And that comes from taking positive action steps, such as peacefully working instead of frantically racing against the clock.
Forcing yourself: If you find yourself starting a sentence with the words “I have to…” stop and question why you’re doing what you’re doing. Why are you forcing and pushing yourself? That’s a sign that your soul is rejecting the activity, and it isn’t healthy. Either meditate and get to the point where you are happy to engage in the activity, make changes with respect to how you engage in it (switching to a more enjoyable workout routine, for example), or stop doing it altogether.
Indecisiveness: The thought I can’t decide whether to do this or do that can make you feel stuck. The existential dilemma of having to make choices concerning how to spend time is the basis of internal struggles and angst. Remember that not making a decision is the same thing as making one…because if you aren’t making a decision, you’re deciding to stay in your present state. Sometimes life calls you to make a choice before you’re ready. Do your best and go for what your soul calls you to do.
Not planning ahead: Part of drama addition is procrastinating until an appointment or deadline is upon you. Do you wait until Christmas Eve to shop for gifts, or the night before a report is due to begin it? These are examples of needlessly stressing yourself. Planning ahead is a new habit that can substantially lower your stress levels. One way to plan is to break a big task down into small steps, and then schedule them into your calendar.
Stressing to impress: Are you working like crazy to make enough money to buy prestigious items? Who are you trying to impress? This unhealthy and stressful habit stems from a desire to be loved. However, if people like you for what you own, it’s a hallow feeling. You desire and deserve to be loved for who you are…beginning with loving yourself for having a calmer, more peaceful schedule.
Being a martyr: Do you feel resentful and irritable because you have to do all of the work? This is stressful and toxic, and a sign that you need to (a) look for ways to simplify your life so that you’re not bemoaning how much you have to do, and or (b) start delegating tasks and asking others to help you.
Focusing upon the future: After a trauma, it’s natural to worry whether something painful will recur. However, if you become obsessed with fear about possible future traumas, you’ll lose the enjoyment of the moment. This is a part of post-traumatic dissociations, where you lose present awareness of yourself. A simple and effective method for reconnecting with the present is to do deep breathing. Inhale deeply, and then exhale completely. Notice your heart rate. Be aware of whether you’re comfortable or not. What do you see and hear right now? Focusing upon present feelings and environmental cues help center you in the here and now. This empowers you to feel more confident about your present and your future”.
I have given you homework to reflect over the above categories and to track your time. I want you to really understand what you are doing with your time. I then have given you homework to research backwards planning. In project management this is how we plan. We go to the end date and plan from that point backwards. Then we start. Make sure to have a margin of error in place. For example, if something is due on the 31st of March, then you want to have it fully ready in your planning by the 28th of March – side note – That is Professor P’s Birthday!!! 50 and oh so fine like red Italian wine, I am aging gracefully. With long life He will satisfy me! – That was a whole squirrel moment!
Let’s get back to it shall we. Then from 3/28 you want to work back again. You will need a draft of what you are working on, however that looks ready by say 3/25. And you continue to work backwards. In project management we add in others to help us. In entrepreneurship you will do the same with what you are working on. It is important to understand that delegation is your superpower. Then you have different tasks overlapping during the timeline you have set. I want you to do your own research on backwards planning and try it for yourself.
Learn to block your time. Learn to set your boundaries and honor them. Learn to do only your part. If God, ask you to 80% and you do 100% you were 20% disobedient. Keep that in mind. Let others help you and do their 20% or whatever it is. TRUST, which I know can be hard. But it is important in building a team and building your business.
The mismanagement of time can cause you unwanted stress and stress is not good for us. It is a secret killer. Understand that your relationship with time is many times tied to your trauma. If you deal with the root, you can become a master of time. I am a living witness. Let’s jump into today’s podcast to hear more.

Ep 29 Old Ceilings Become New Floors #mastery

Welcome everyone to the 29th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is OLD ceilings turn into NEW floors. #mastery
How many of you know that you have been hitting your head against the ceiling? You have been hitting it so much you have a headache. Today’s podcast is going to encourage you to bust through your old ceiling and turn it into a NEW floor.
Spring is rapidly making its way to us and you are going to see how beautiful the earth becomes with its new colors and fragrances. Our God makes ALL things NEW, and it is time for you to walk into your NEWNESS.  
This is a leap year, and I am encouraging you all to LEAP! You only need a tiny blue ladybug aka mustard seed size faith to move mountains. Having radical faith in the unknown doesn’t mean you don’t get scared of what’s there. Or even of what you’re letting go of to go there. It simply means you TRUST that no matter what, you are fully supported and able. The question of “how” doesn’t have to be answered. Releasing the “how” is the hardest part however and it is very uncomfortable. But that discomfort doesn’t last for long. You are free to feel. Release and RECEIVE!
Don’t stop believing my friends. Don’t stop working your FAITH! You keep stepping and God will keep providing placement for your feet or flight so you can soar. It is time for you to take a LEAP into today’s podcast for more.

Ep 27 Blessed vs. Luck #truthbetold

Welcome everyone to the 27th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is BLESSED vs. LUCK. #truthbetold
Our words have meaning. Our thoughts are powerful. One of my all-time most downloaded podcasts is the power of words. If you haven’t heard it, go check it out after you listen to this one today. With each word we say we are making a statement. What our beliefs, ideologies, and passions are. The power of the tongue is very influential. This is why I am challenging you to examine the words you speak. What are you standing behind with the words you speak. For this podcast I am breaking down Blessed vs. Luck.
Blessed: very welcome, pleasant, or appreciated (Merriam-Webster)
Happy; prosperous in worldly affairs; enjoying spiritual happiness and the favor of God (1828 Noah Webster)
Lucky: the things that happen to a person because of chance: the accidental way things happen without being planned
Your life is not meaningless. It is not an accident. You are not here by some random chance. God is a purposeful God, and you are here on purpose. All the things in your life big or small are divinely orchestrated. Luck is stating you just randomly received something good in your life. That you were in the right place at the right time. But this is not accurate. Every good and perfect gift is from God. Your steps are ordered.  So, thank God for each blessing in your life because God is showing you love throughout your whole day. You just have to acknowledge and realize where the source of your appreciation should be.
Luck is not going to give you happiness and it certainly cannot bless you. But God can, will, and does on a daily. There are no coincidences. You are blessed in the city and the country. You are blessed in your comings and your goings. You are blessed to be a blessing.
Even the seemingly insignificant details of our life have purpose. God is all knowing, all purposeful. So, as you wake up each day, see God’s purpose in every moment. Delight in God as He delights in you. Use your moments for Him, as He breathes purpose and value into each one.
Now say it with me… I am BLESSED and HIGHLY FAVORED!

Ep 26 Stay Gritty Baby #entrepreneurialtip

Welcome everyone to the 26th episode of Professor P's Podcast. This year, once a month, I will be bringing you entrepreneurial tips. The topic for this show is GRIT, which is important in the foundation of being an EMPOWERED entrepreneur but also to live the EMPOWERED life.
You are going to need paper and pen for this episode and honestly for most to all of my episodes you will always want to keep paper and pen. I will share several stories. All of them should give you encouragement and inspire you. One of the stories I just shared with my students this past week.
Deshauna Barber - American model Ms. USA 2016. She suffered from some low self-esteem. A woman found her in Target and told her that she could be the next Ms. USA. She started competing in the state pageants. She tried for six years in a row and was ready to give up “it is failing epically”. Leslie told her to keep trying. Finally in her seventh year she won the title of Ms. USA and life changed dramatically. In the words of Leslie “If not you, then who”. “At times our purpose drops in our laps as if heaven threw it by accident. Do not fear failure. But please be terrified of regret. Giving up is the birth of regret. There will be hundreds of moments of people telling you no. You will hear more no’s than yeses in your lifetime. We will fail and fail a lot.
Don’t be afraid of no’s be afraid of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed because you have decided to quit before the clock strikes 12. You have rights to your no and your YES is undeniable. Your yes is far more powerful and purposeful than any no you will ever receive.
Wisdom is gained through experiences. Failure is one of the greatest producers of wisdom. Wisdom is attracted to and accessible to all. When wisdom speaks it is true. Wisdom produces durable revenue. To have the talent of wisdom you must listen to it. The art and power of listening.
What have you accepted that you can alter if you negotiate from a different perspective?
So, if you are ready to be inspired, encouraged, and gain some knowledge that will do you well in entrepreneurship and in life, then you need to jump into this episode and let me know your thoughts.

Ep 25 God, the universe, a true understanding #truthbetold

Welcome everyone to the 25th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is GOD, the universe, A TRUE UNDERSTADNING. #truthbetold
This episode is going to explain to you the difference between God and the universe. You are going to need to have paper, a pen, and place to write. Because we as humans need to measure things to understand them, I am going to have you do some measuring so you can understand the size of the universe verse the vastness of God. Replacing God with the universe has become a standard trope in popular culture. Too many are afraid to even say God because they don’t want to offend anyone. But you must know the truth between the two. One is the creator aka God, and one is the creation aka universe.
As beings made in the image of God, we humans don’t need to look to the universe for ultimate meaning or try to create it for ourselves. God has already given it to us. From the beginning, we were designed to glorify Him and to enjoy Him forever. We are eternal beings who wear a human suit. That one day we will take off.
The universe is His universe, and He rules it with perfect wisdom and absolute power. To replace God with His creation is to give it the honor and worship that belongs solely to Him. I simply cannot do that. And it really was in my heart to bring to you all some knowledge and wisdom regarding this topic. You don’t say God because of pop culture and more so because you are made at God. But what you really are mad at is religion. You are mad at man.
I truly believe God’s heart aches for us due to all the evil religion and religious trauma we have endured. I encourage you to get some paper, your pen, and spot to listen to this powerful episode with an open mind and heart. My hope is that you heal from the religious trauma and all that man has done and return to knowing and being one with our loving God.

Ep 24 Sucess is not a Secret it is a System! #mastery

Welcome everyone to the 24th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am bringing you another dose of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is SUCCESS is not a SECRECT it is a SYSTEM.  #mastery
You see, my dear ones, there is no secret to success. But there is a system, and each person has their own system that is coded to them, for them. Take a big deep breath with me now. Come on…. BIG DEEP BREATH. Release and sit in this truth: You were born into this lifetime for a purpose. You have a calling on your life and you will fulfill it if you faint not. It is not going to be easy. And as the saying goes, nothing worth having is easy. It will take work and hard work at that. But then there will come a time when you will have a season of ease. And from this place you will awaken even more to the truth that all things work to the good. That indeed you have been chosen. That your harvest has at last come in. We climb to the mountaintop not because that is where we are going. Oh no! We climb so we can see the promised land. Then we go take possession of it. This is the journey you are on.
Let us start by defining the word “system.” The dictionary has two definitions for system:
“a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or inter-connecting network.”
2.“a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized framework or method.”
You are going to be creating your structure, your method of how you do things. You are going to do this by trial and error. Betta to be better is what I say. You are also going to do this by learning all you can. Knowledge is power. You are to be a researcher and always be thinking critically. Open your mind, then open it some more. Remember, the ultra-limits of your life is where you find the truest you yet. Go there and go there often.
You will need to be anchored to yourself and know what works for you and what doesn’t. You may not be a morning person. If that’s the case, don’t buy into this notion that “successful people are early birds.” This is not true. The early bird doesn’t always get the worm. I am a night owl, and I can promise you this much: I caught my worm. I might have even caught two or three of them. Then I went to bed. And if I greet the rising sun, dancing in its golden rays of yellow and orange, it’s normally while I’m sitting on the beach. Or in the middle of a Sedona vortex. Or somewhere at the edge of the ultra-limits. It’s an experience that turns into a memory. And it’s a place of rest—or better yet, awakening. Not a place of work. This is indeed part of my system. Rest and awakening are instrumental in the journey of success.
So, understand your energy and mange it well. Discovery of self is the key. I understand my energy level and how I work best. I respect myself enough to stop trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t fit me. I am one of a kind, and so are you! This is what is so beautiful about being human. No two of us are the same, not even identical twins.
“I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ’Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.”
—Leonardo da Vinci, Renaissance genius
The quote above is right on the money. I want you to smile in the face of trouble. The distress will only make you stronger. Your bravery will be rewarded. And I want you to build a set of principles to live by. To build from. They are a part of your system. They will be the reason for your success.
