Speaker 1 (00:00):
Day, last break of the day, with just one more thing, Steve,
I'm glad for one. I think we all are that
your closing remarks are back. Yeah, they're always inspirational. You
always motivate us to do something.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Really, I was just now I don't want to sound
you know, but anyway, what I was just asking God,
what could I do more? What what could I do?
And it was just put on my heart to share more,
you know, start, take a moment out at the beginning
and the close of the show, and just try to

(00:32):
encourage more people. You know, I've learned so much over
the years. You know, I've had a tough goal of it,
as many of you have. Mine. Ain't my story animal
richer or deeper than nobody else's. So I just try
to share the information that I've actually learned, because I've
learned a lot. And one of the things that I've
learned is about when to start. You know, whenever you

(00:56):
come up with an idea or thought, or move, move
you want to make, or something comes from your imagination.
The thing that I find that stops people oftentimes is
when do I start. Now, here's the thing with starting.

(01:17):
What people do is they delay the start by overthinking it.
And if you overthink something, guess what will eventually and
you over explain it to other people. Eventually the how
it won't work it's going to come up. So you
have this fabulous idea that you've thought of right, and

(01:38):
then you share it with some people and he say, man,
I'm gonna go do this, and you start talking it
over and you start thinking it through, and you share
it with more people. The more people you share with
and the more people you and the more you think
it through, you know what. You keep coming up with
the mishaps, the things that can go wrong, and you
end up delaying the start. The other thing that happens

(01:59):
is try to line all they ducks up in a
row before they start so they can just go on
and start knocking them down. That's a mistake because that
almost never ever happens. I have yet to see any
deal I've ever done, any project i've started, go just
the way I thought it was gonna go. I have

(02:20):
never seen that. I have yet to close a deal
that just went smoothly, no wrinkles, no bumps, no nothing.
I've never seen that. So when you're waiting to start
and then that they say is hit and you're waiting
to start to get your ducks lined up in a row.

(02:44):
You're delaying the process. You know when the best time
to start is right now, because right now alleviates procrastination.
If you wait on the ducks to get lined up
in a row, and you listening to the naysayers, procrastination
has already set in and taken place, and oftentimes it

(03:06):
takes hold. So what I found is when I come
up with the idea, I start the process. Now, I
start the process. Now. Look, man, you can easily do that.
It's simple things. What stops people is you try to
figure out all the way through. You have this goal
that you got and you say, okay, I'm gonna do this,

(03:28):
then if I do that? Then if I do that,
and then you get stuck because you go, well what
happens after that? Because you've never been in that area before,
you've never gone down that road, so the unknown strikes you.
And then because you can't figure out what you do
when you get to the unknown, you stop. So now
you couldn't line up all your ducks in a row,
so the process to success is delayed. Again, stop doing

(03:50):
that to yourself. In twenty eighteen. Y'all start now. Do
it now. What you have to do next will be
shown to you. It'll your first step will lead you
to second step. Now, Sometimes on your journey you make
a bad turn. You gotta make a U turn and

(04:11):
come back and cross over the other bridge instead of
going that way. But until you take one step, you'll
never know where the next turn is. If it's a
fork in the road, if it's a U turn, if
it's a being, if it's a valley, if it's a mountain.
You gotta start today. Stop delaying it. Everybody, whatever it
is you want to do, start today. You may be

(04:32):
surprised that you can actually get yourself further than you
thought you could with nobody else's help. Now, in order
to be successful, you're gonna need somebody's help, but to start,
oftentimes you just need yourself start the process. God will
show you the way. He really will. He always has.

(04:58):
I say this often to people. God will get you through.
For the everybody's listening right now, Name one thing that
God hasn't gotten you through, And if He hasn't gotten
you through it, he's currently pulling you through it right now.
And you know how I know because you're listening to

(05:18):
the radio. How you listening to the radio. It's because
he's pulling you through something right now. He's gotten you
through all the other stuff, but he's pulling you through
right now. If you start the process, God will pull
you through. But you'll never know until you start. Make

(05:44):
twenty eighteen the year of starting something great in your life. Start,
Start something great. Don't participate in no mess this year.
Stay out of mess. You know what mess is. Mess
looks like, it ain't right, it don't feel good, it
don't sound good. It's mess. Stay out of mess this year.

(06:09):
Remove yourself from messy situations so you can move in
the right direction. Start this year, man, make it happen. Okay,
start today. That's the best time. Thank y'all for listening.
Hope that helps you
