\n\n“Your network is your net worth; cultivate it wisely.” - Eric Worre
\n
As I’ve grown in my professional career and personal endeavors, I see this to be true more and more. As it’s often said, it’s who you know versus what that makes the most difference. I think it’s important to build and cultivate networks of like-minded people. It’s really about helping each other to become successful in achieving our goals.

Reflecting on my own experience, I’ve come to appreciate the immense value that a mentor can bring to one’s life in numerous ways.
\nFirstly, having a mentor provides invaluable perspective. This is someone who embodies the principles and outcomes we aspire to achieve. They have walked the path we wish to tread and can offer insights into the mindset, decisions, and strategies that led them to success. By tapping into their wisdom and experience, we gain clarity on our own journey and are better equipped to navigate the challenges along the way.
\nSecondly, a mentor serves as a mirror, offering an objective view of our communication, actions, and blind spots. Their outside perspective enables us to identify areas for growth and improvement that we may have overlooked on our own. Constructive feedback from a mentor becomes a catalyst for personal development, propelling us towards our goals with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
\nMoreover, mentorship provides tailored guidance and coaching in specific areas of interest, be it business, entrepreneurship, or life in general. While conventional wisdom may discourage copying, seeking guidance from those who have achieved success aligns with the principle of learning from the best. A mentor can offer practical strategies, actionable advice, and proven methodologies honed through their own experiences, accelerating our progress towards excellence.
\nIt’s worth noting that mentorship is not reserved for the elite few. While high-level executives and professional athletes often attribute their success to mentorship, its benefits are accessible to anyone committed to personal growth. Yet, despite its proven efficacy, many still lack a personal relationship with a mentor who can unlock their full potential.
\nIn conclusion, mentorship is a potent catalyst for personal and professional growth. By harnessing the wisdom, perspective, and guidance of a mentor, we empower ourselves to overcome obstacles, seize opportunities, and live our best lives. Let us not underestimate the transformative power of mentorship, for it has the potential to shape our destinies and propel us towards greatness.

\n1. Volunteer Work
\nDedicate your time and skills to organizations or causes that resonate with your values. Whether it’s feeding the homeless, mentoring youth, or cleaning up the environment, volunteering offers countless opportunities to serve.
\n2. Generosity and Giving
\nEmbrace the power of generosity by donating to church, charities, supporting fundraisers, or simply offering a helping hand to those in need. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, can create ripple effects of positivity.
\n3. Parenting
\nOne of the most profound ways to make an impact is through parenting. This includes nurturing and guiding children, instilling values and shaping them into strong individuals who contribute positively to society.
\n4. Leading a Teen Small Group
\nInvest in the lives of youth by leading a small group. Providing a safe space for teens to express themselves, learn valuable life skills, and cultivate healthy relationships can have a lasting impact on their growth and development.
\n5. Youth Coaching
\nWhether it’s in sports, academics, or personal development, coaching youth fosters discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence. By mentoring young minds, you help shape future leaders and influencers.
\n6. Being a Neighbor and Friend
\nSometimes, the most impactful acts occur within our immediate circles. Being a supportive neighbor or friend—offering a listening ear, lending a helping hand, or simply being present—can make a world of difference in someone’s life.
\nWe all possess the capacity to make an impact, regardless of our circumstances or resources. By embracing opportunities to serve others with our time, talents, resources and relationships, we contribute to creating a better world.

However, the secret lies not in making drastic changes overnight, but rather in the commitment to consistent improvement every single day.
\nImagine this: Could you read just one more chapter than the average person? Could you squeeze in an extra day at the gym each week? Or perhaps, could you make wiser choices when it comes to your diet and nutrition? These seemingly small steps, when taken consistently, can lead to profound differences in your life.
\nThe philosophy of going the extra mile is not about monumental leaps; it’s about the incremental progress that adds up over time. It’s about looking at the standard or average and deciding to level up just a little bit more each day.
\nWhy should you strive to separate yourself from the crowd? Because growth, excellence, and impact are the fruits of such dedication. By setting yourself apart, you become a beacon of inspiration and possibility for others to follow.
\nOne powerful way to distinguish yourself is by adopting the habit of going to bed early and rising early. Take, for example, individuals like Jocko Willink, author of ‘Extreme Ownership’, who starts his day with a workout at 4:30 AM and posts a picture to ‘X’ everyday. While you don’t necessarily have to emulate such extremes, consider what it would look like to join the 5 AM club or establish a consistent sleep schedule.
\nCrafting a morning routine that includes hydration, exercise, and mindset cultivation can be a game-changer. By prioritizing self-care and personal development in the early hours, you set the tone for a productive and fulfilling day ahead.
\nEmbracing the journey of self-improvement is not always easy, but it is undeniably rewarding. Each step you take towards becoming the best version of yourself contributes to your growth and development.
\nSo, let’s dare to go the extra mile. Challenge ourselves to push beyond the limits of mediocrity and embrace the path of continuous improvement. Remember, it’s the small, consistent actions that pave the way for extraordinary results.

\nLeadership is also about leading by example. It’s about embodying the values we preach, and showing others the way. When we lead by example, we inspire others to follow suit, creating a ripple effect that can lead to significant positive changes.

My hope is that this post will serve as a guiding star, helping you navigate your financial journey.
\nHere are some key principles:
\n1. Ownership
\nEverything we have is not ours, but God’s. We are merely stewards of His resources (Psalm 24:1).
\n2. Work
\nThe Bible encourages hard work and sees it as a means of earning income (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
\n3. Generosity
\nWe are called to be generous and willing to share with others (1 Timothy 6:18).
\n4. Saving
\nThe Bible advises us to save for the future and not spend recklessly (Proverbs 21:20).
\n5. Debt
\nWhile not explicitly prohibited, the Bible warns about the dangers of debt and encourages us to live within our means (Proverbs 22:7).
\n6. Integrity
\nHonesty and integrity are valued in all things, including finances (Proverbs 11:1).
\n7. Seeking Wise Counsel
\nThe Bible encourages seeking advice and wisdom in handling finances (Proverbs 15:22).
\nThe principles of Biblical financial stewardship offer a roadmap to responsible financial management. They remind us that we are stewards, not owners, of our resources, and they encourage us to work hard, be generous, save wisely, avoid unnecessary debt, act with integrity, and seek wise counsel. By adhering to these principles, we can navigate our financial journey with confidence and purpose. Remember, the journey of financial stewardship is not a sprint, but a marathon.

In my journey through sports and soccer, I’ve learned invaluable lessons that have shaped my approach to life and business. Here are three key takeaways:
\n1. Coachability
\nOn the field, my coach guided me, highlighting areas for improvement and growth. This was instrumental in achieving my desired outcomes. Off the field, I’ve realized the importance of maintaining a similar mindset. Staying humble, eager to learn, and open to growth is crucial for achieving results in business and personal endeavors.
\n2. Teamwork
\nThe acronym TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves More - rings true in every aspect of life. In sports, we worked together, learned together, and filled gaps where necessary. Each player had a unique role, contributing to the team’s success. This principle applies equally to family and business. The concept of “iron sharpens iron” resonates with me - we improve and become stronger through our interactions with others.
\n3. Work Ethic and Grit
\nThese two attributes are intertwined for me. Achieving any goal requires dedication, consistent effort, and a never-give-up attitude. There will be obstacles, but the key is to stay consistent, putting in the necessary work daily until the desired result is achieved. Work ethic and consistency are the great separators - I think many fall short due to a lack of grit and dedication to consistency.
\nOverall, the lessons learned from sports are not confined to the field. They are applicable and valuable in all aspects of life, including business, entrepreneurship and personal aspirations. As we navigate our personal and professional journeys, I encourage us to stay coachable, value teamwork, and maintain a strong work ethic and grit.

It allows us to plan, prioritize, and control our spending, leading to financial stability and freedom. Here are three key steps I have found helpful to create and follow a budget effectively.
\n1. Choose the Right Budgeting Tool
\nThe first step is to find a good budgeting template or software. Tools like ‘Everydollar’ or ‘You Need a Budget’ are excellent choices. These platforms allow you to customize the budget template to suit your needs. You can connect your accounts or enter transactions manually. I prefer software that allows me to maintain all the account details so that I can be certain I’m always reconciled with the bank. This ensures accuracy and gives you a clear picture of your financial status.
\n2. Develop a Daily Budgeting Habit
\nNext, create a daily habit of reviewing your spending accounts and assigning transactions to your budget. This practice keeps you informed about where your budget stands each day, helping you avoid overspending. If one category requires more spending than planned, you can decide to move funds from another category to cover. This is why I prefer the envelope budgeting method. It provides flexibility and control over your spending.
\n3. Weekly Budget Review with Your Spouse
\nLastly, if you’re married, it’s beneficial to review your budget with your spouse on a weekly basis. Managing money as a couple, rather than having separate accounts, promotes unity and shared responsibility. You’re working towards the same goal and vision for your life, and your budget is an important tool to get you to your destination.
\nBudgeting helps us manage to a plan. It allows us to prioritize spending and decide where our money is going before the month begins.

It’s akin to going to the gym every day, where consistency is the victory. Here’s a three-step guide based on my personal experience to help you lead yourself to your desired outcome.
\n1. Understand Your Outcome and Write It Down
\nThe first step in leading yourself is to understand your desired outcome or goal. It’s essential to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. Once you have that clarity, write it down. Writing down your goals not only makes them more tangible but also serves as a constant reminder of what you’re striving for.
\n2. Determine the Habits or System That Will Enable You to Reach Your Goal
\nOnce you have your goal in mind, the next step is to determine the habits or systems that will enable you to reach that goal. These could be daily routines, specific tasks, or even a mindset shift. Remember, it’s not about making massive changes all at once, but about making small, consistent changes that add up over time.
\n3. Develop an Accountability System with a Mentor or Coach
\nThe final step is to develop an accountability system. This could involve finding a mentor or coach who can guide you, provide feedback, and hold you accountable. Having someone to report to makes it more likely that you’ll stick to your plan and reach your goal.
\nLeading yourself is about understanding your goal, determining the right habits or systems, and developing an accountability system. It’s about starting with the end in mind and being consistent in your efforts. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
