Send snail-mail from your iPhone. …and flair! Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations Decide What Kind of Day to Have “I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.” (Psalm 34:1, NLT) Our expectation determines our experience. We often leap to a conclusion about what things mean. For most people, the conclusion is often negative. We are all too prone to base our expectation of today on what happened yesterday, or the past few months, or the past few years. You may have had a rough day, week, month, or year. People in your life might be angry, negative, complainers, or even abusive. The fact is: it doesn't matter what happened in the past – that does not determine your future! You get to decide what kind of day you're going to have. Right now, you have the power to become the change you want to see in your life. Even if people are mean, bad things are happening all around you, and nothing may seem to be going your way. Expect the goodness of God to show up in your life, and expect Expect the goodness of God to show up in your life, and expect favor, blessings, and good success. Speak words of faith over your day, over your life and over your future. Get a bigger vision of your life, expect your path to be illuminated and clear, and make room for God to do something amazing for you. Pray This Way “Father, I praise You at all times. I choose to see your hand in my life, sending me grace, favor, and mercy. Thank you that you make all things work together for my good. Amen!” Tip of the Week PunkPost.co is a note-writing service that uses your phone to send real mail. It costs $6 per card, but that might be cheaper than you think. Pick a card. Add your message.

We just returned from Social Media Marketing World 2016, and this episode is filled with our impressions, some takeaways, and tips. We get into what you can do to make any conference trip better, and how to get the most from your conference dollars. How to be happy, regardless of what happens. How to turn your phone into walkie-talkie. …and flair! Click here to download or listen to this episode now. Spiritual Foundations Don't Get Attached to Outcomes Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. – James 4:13-16 Verse 17 says: “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” I think this is saying: we should just be looking for ways to help. Make plans, but don't obsess over things going exactly your way every time. There may be more important opportunities at work than you can currently see. Tip of the Week With Voxer you can: Turn your phone into a walkie-talkie. Talk, send text and photos — send live or recorded voice, text messages and photos instantly—to one person or an entire group. Listen live or listen later — Listen ‘live’ while someone is speaking and respond immediately or listen later and reply when it’s convenient. Use any network, globally — Voxer works on any cellular or Wifi network around the world. Feature Segment: Top 10 Takeaways & Tips From Social Media Marketing World 2016 Conference Or, How to Get the Most From Your Next Conference Live video is hot. You are not Gary V. Traditional Media outlets (radio, TV, magazines) are now looking for people with Platforms. You should build one. Yes, Social Media does work “in your business”… whatever your business is. Arrive at conferences a day early, and leave a day late. Hydrate. Avoid alcohol, sugar, and heavy meals. Get plenty of sleep. Learn to take care of your voice, Learn to take care of your feet. Build in space for processing, pondering, and pacing. Don't be “super-networker guy”. Just care about people and make friends.

Spiritual Foundations Stop Trying to Figure It Out “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5, NKJV) Have you ever faced a situation that seemed impossible? We all do at some point. Sometimes it just seems that a certain problem has no logical solution. It's in moments like these that we need to give up trying to figure it out. Sometimes it's best to remember that we have access to “the mind of Christ”. I did not make that up, the Apostle Paul says so in the New Testament. So if we have access to “the mind of Christ”, that means we have access to the vast storehouse of knowledge of God himself. And trust me, He knows the answer to your problem. How do we access this source of wisdom and power? We have to do the most counterintuitive thing: turn off the logic machine, stop researching our problem on Google, stop overanalyzing the problem, and stop looking for answers in the natural realm. It's time to tap into the supernatural. Stop leaning on our own understanding, and instead, choose to trust God.  None of the problems we face are a surprise to God, nor are they a challenge to Him. Your mind is a powerful thing. But sometimes, your mind will try to distract you, so you don't even notice that God is speaking to your heart all the time. Your mind, not your heart, is the source of fear, doubt, and terror. These emotions can block the signal God is broadcasting to your heart. That's why it says in the book of Proverbs we should trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. And if you can simply “let it go”, stop thinking about the problem and the solutions so much, and just listen for what God has to say, you will find faith rising up. You'll start to feel hope, even in impossible situations. So today, no matter how dark things may look to you now, choose to lean on God. Trust that He has a good future in store for you. Trust that He has poured out grace and favor on your life. Trust Him, because in the final analysis, He's the only one you can totally trust, every time. Join me in a prayer like this: “Daddy, I'm making the choice to lean on you. Not on my own understanding. I know that you are working all things out for my good. So I won't put my confidence in the evidence that I see, but I will trust in your Word, and I will trust in You. I receive Your peace, in Jesus's name. Amen.” Tip of the Week Would you like some in-depth video training on how to create copy that makes more sales?
