so if you want new money you have to obtain new habits so in this episode I'm going to be talking about The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Faith made millionaires starting in 3 2 1 let's go B next let's get this money one better know I'm on it what's cracking everybody money smart guy Matt saalo here Hing to you from Dallas Texas and another episode here I'm fired up about uh it's new work maybe uh you guys want a copy of this maybe I'll give you an opportunity for a link to get this PDF for free on The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Faith made millionaires it's my little spin on it on the book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and I just had a faith inspired move to regurgitate this from a Biblical faith-based perspective all right let's get into it so if you want new money got to have new habits number one anticipation for Generations you see Faith made millionaires don't think just about this generation they think about generational wealth down the road and by the way generational wealth is more than just money in my opinion it's wisdom it's ambition it's values it's principles things that are passed on from generation to generation money makes it sweeter because they can actually put money towards those dreams goals and Ambitions that in your current generation you may not have been able to obtain but in future Generations because you're investing for the future that's what Faith made millionaires are all about it's one thing to take care of themselves for this generation but it's taking care of making sure the generations down the road get to fulfill big vision of what God has inspired to you to you and through you into the next succeeding Generations scripture says this Proverbs 13: 22 a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children think about it the whole gospel the Bible talks about what we need to do today to live a Godly life so therefore down the road we have eternal life with our father in heaven but what we do need to do today we accept Christ we enter the the Heavenly Realms because we accept Christ on Earth today so therefore down the RO we anticipate that we are entering heaven to be with our father in Heaven to reunite with relatives to reunite with people that we love and care about growing up that they're waiting for us in heaven but we anticipate that happening by what we do on Earth today listen I've been a life insurance business and we talk about anticipation of dangers and risk that may happen down the road so Faith made millionaire anticipate chaos they anticipate the hard times they anticipate recession they anticipate a downturn they anticipate enemies and downfalls and pitfalls so Faith made millionaires look not only to what they're currently doing today not getting excited about what their current financial situation is right now but they also anticipate what happens if certain Market changes happen What happens if certain vendors or opportunities or shifts in the market happen that affects my business ultimately see Faith M man has just don't think about right now they're always constantly evaluating what is lurking around the corner we already know that dangers and enemies are lurking right around the corners so we have to take our time our talent our resource our relationships to make sure we plan for for the what if type of scenarios because when that what if scenario happens and it will you go through that chaos with confidence Clarity and you march forward and take advantage of other opportunities that might be laying along down the road and we already know that down the road does not equal smooth sailing if it's smooth sailing right now it's definitely going to be rough sailing down the road so anticipation is actually an expression of Faith let's read what scripture says here in Matthew 6:26 look at the birds of the air they neither sew nor reap nor gather into Barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not more value than they more so Faith made Millionaires and faith-based entrepreneurs are constantly investing their time their talents the resources by expressing servant leadership they put their money where their mouth is because they know this are resources that's not theirs they're just a steward of the resources they're Steward of these finances Steward of their business their career and so they put their ties they put their offerings they put their money and investing in other people also in investing back into their own machine that the guy has given them their business their career so they take care of themselves and they take care of other people and that's how you anticipate for Greatness by making sure that the resources that've been given you are constantly working for you with you and through you number two starting with purpose then discovering how Jeremiah 2911 says this God has plans to prosper us and give us hope in a good future most people start the business in these four phases first phase they're survive second phase they have some status third phase they have some Freedom fourth phase boom now they're operating and working on purpose but Faith made millionaires start off the opposite way the ACT start off with purpose see the last thing I would think about was me entering the financial services industry back when I was leaving in the United States Marine Corps the last thing I'd ever think about was being an entrepreneur being in business for myself matter of fact I didn't even know how to spell entrepreneur until about eight years ago the last thing I think about was entering the insurance industry so how did I figure this stuff out it's completely by accident my purpose was making sure I left the Marine Corp to serve my number one purpose which is being a father and being there for my children sure I had to survive sure I had to pay the bills but wouldn't have easier for me to stay in the Marines I wanted to make sure that if the Marines were going to deploy me and I could spend time with my kids that's the most important thing for me is to be a father being a kid so I find myself by a default posision by saying you know what I need to take care of this gift that this gift that God has given me through his means I need to be a dad I need to be a father I need to be around because I remember being overseas being deployed and all my guys would call back hey how's my son hey how's my daughter and there were things going on and they couldn't control it and it put so much stress and anxiety in them because things were going on back back home they could have zero control because they couldn't get there they couldn't fix it so Faith millionaires ask themselves this what are we doing us all for what's his career for what's his business for so Faith made millionaires actually start off with purpose not survivability but through that purpose of course they got to survive of course through that purpose they have to have some status to get approved and get access of course through that status they're going to find Freedom but what are you doing this all for is it just to pay the bills no that's just not enough that's just survive but if you're filled with purpose that's what faith made millionaires what's faith-based entrepreneurs do they start with the end in mind they start with that purpose in mind and then they discover the vehicle they find a vehicle how to actually get it done number three prioritize to maximize scripture says this Matthew 6:33 but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you see Faith made millionaires say listen God what do you want me to do with this career what do we doing about what do you want me to do with my marriage what do you want me to do with my fatherhood my my purpose and my job what do you want me to do Lord inspire me bless me send me a send me a vision send me a dream send me a sign Lord give it to me and then through that Vision then they act upon it I can't tell you how many times I've coached and seen many people in the faith why are Christians always broke they go to church they're praying Lord change my life change my life send me the resources and yet they lack the faith to actually Express when those resources or their opportunities come their way you know why because it's not packaged in the way they want it packaged it's not in the way they want it to be received see God is going to say listen man if I'm if you're going to seek me first is come in different areas that you may not even think about are opportunities may come in in methods that may not be understandable to you but if you're seeking God you're seeking wisdom God's going to give you that spiritual X-ray vision to say hello this is an opportunity this is a way for me to fulfill the god-given purpose and dreams and vision that God has given to me it's not in the career I thought it's not in the business I thought it's not in the financial situation I thought but man it's here and that's an opportunity for God to work through you to you and through you to say yep yes let my kingdom be Advanced which leads me to another scripture this in 1 Timothy it reads like this 1 Timothy 3:5 for someone does not know how to manage their own household how will he care for God's Church you see if you can't take care of yourself first how are you going to manage God's business you cannot give to others what you ain't got and listen this might ruffle some feathers but I remember in my first years of entering my faith and just being in love with Jesus just being in love with my new Faith just being in love with my church being in love with the fellowship and I was at the church every day here I'm trying to be an entrepreneur and and being a single father three kids and I found myself being used by Ministry Monday I was at M church ministry Tuesday Ministry Wednesday Bible study Thursday Ministry Friday Ministry Saturday morning and afternoon Ministry Sunday all day there when am I taking care of my first Ministry which is what my own family so here I found myself taking care of everybody else as a single father three kids but people that were lacking was my own kids the thing that was lacking was my own business I was not expanding my relationship with my children I was not expanding my growth of my business and that was my first Ministry so guess why I had do I said listen Lord somebody else is going to take care of this ministry somebody going to take care of but you've given me a Ministry you've given me a career you've given me a business you've given me children that nobody else can take care of Lord seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you so therefore I decided to take care of home I decided to take care of what matters most which is those that's around that God has given to me I got to take care of that first I have to take care of my health first your body is a temple of God and so therefore I had to take care of my health obviously take care of your spirit your health take care of your home your financial situation take care of your children by the way don't expect Perfection Perfection is not the standard here everybody there's only one man that was perfect on his Earth we all know what happened to him but the standard here is Improvement the standard here is working in a spirit of Excellence number four you win I win we win the kingdom wins scripture says this Luke 6:38 give and will will be given to you A good measure pressed down shaken together and running over and will be poured into your lap for with the measure you see It'll be measured to you here's the thing to you as well Faith made millionaires they look for chaos Faith made millionaires they look for problems and they have Solutions and products to solve them to make your life here on Earth a little bit more easier to work and live in what you're going to find is the world is filled with a bunch of complainers and Lamers and wo was me but guess what faith made millionaires do they look for Solutions and they create products and services to build those solutions to bless God's people you win I win we win the kingdom wins number five listen twice speak once see Believers are grounded in fear and in reverence of the Lord scripture says this Proverbs 4:7 says the beginning of wisdom is this get wisdom and whatever you get get insight gain wisdom and understanding it's part of our family values that we have here in this house in the sapalo household reality is God gave us two ears and one mouth and sadly today we don't use those in that proportion in order for you and I to understand our customers our clients our Market we have to listen we have to obtain research if you want to help your target market you better get to learn them and understand them because once you understand them then you can can craft your response a better offering of a product and service therefore to create a better client and customer experience for the people you serve you ever noticed and most people today all they want to do is just shout each other chout ch ch ch ch ch ch yell y yell yell yell comment comment comment troll troll troll but guess what people aren't doing today they're not listening see Faith made Millionaires and faith-based entrepreneurs what we want to do we want to have a godrolled spirit we listen twice we speak once the sad part about today blah blah blah blah blah blah blah lot of people just yelling yell yell yell yell people want to be right my question for you is do you want to be right or do you want to be wise do you want to use force or do you want to use power how you answer that question is going to lead you to how God wants to leave you that being said I want you to put in the comment section below do you want to be wise or do you want to be right please put it in the comment section below habit number six Teamwork Makes the DreamWork scripture says this Ecclesiastes 49-12 two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor if either of them falls down one can help the other up but pity anyone who falls and has no one there to help them up now if you go back to the Old Testament look at the 12 tribes of Israel and if you study the different tribes of Israel every tribe had their job every tribe had their responsibility every tribe there had to work with one another to help fulfill God's work yet only one of those tribes the Levites there there purely just for Ministry and worship and praise that's that was their job but the other 12 tribes guess what they're supposed to do help support the resources so therefore that tribe can spread and continue God's work in Ministry in worship their job is briide not only the resource so therefore the tribe of Levi they can expand the source so our job as entrepreneurs that God gives us the source we're his Source our job is to provide the resource and how we do that by engaging and working together with others Faith made Millionaires and Faith bed entreprene what we do we go out there we create the connections we build the networks and we expand relationships habit number seven improve in advance scripture says this Luke verse 2:52 and Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man even Jesus increased his wisdom even Jesus expanded in improved himself and he was the Living God even he improved he showed an example here on Earth that he had to gain status not only with God but he had to gain status with man so if you think you've got everything going on and you want to take your game to the next level you've got to improve don't be just sitting there ah I'm good kick my feed back up on the desk no brother sister you've gotten to this point because your job is to advance not just kick back and relax and think this is it your job is to make sure that your time talent and resource are taking to the next level that you're constantly improving or you might be at the other end you might be frustrated that you don't have the time Talent resources but God is giving you also time Talent resources at the current level in ability that you're at guess what your job is to improve expand networks build relationships increase your skill create Revenue get a return on your investment at what whatever level that you are at scripture says this in Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastes 10:10 says if the iron is blunt and one does not sharpen the edge he must use more strength but wisdom helps one succeed wisdom says this okay if your your blade is blunt it's not sharp guess what you got to do kick back take a Sabbath sharpen the saw understand where you need to improve do some business planning invest back into sub into strategy and mentorship and and masterminding so therefore you can find out who knows what you don't know so therefore they can provide that wisdom and understanding to advance you to take a great the greatest shortcut which is mentorship to get you to streamline your product your service your Endeavor your career your business and take it to the next level much faster much more efficiently much more happier much more impactful for the kingdom Faith made millionaires always look for ways to sharpen their skills improve their Technologies create more speed in the products and processes and build a culture that tracks those seeking Improvement rarely will you see Faith made millionaires who are making an impact advancing improving simply just complacent with their gifts now they want to help and assist others because why back to number one back on purpose they their anticipation of the Generations these habits all work together for the goodness of expansion of God's kingdom last but not least spite what's going on in the chaos of this world in the current state of our country and sadly the lack of faith just in our faith out that you use these habits because America the world needs to see God's people rise up people today need to see a leader people need to see those that are in the faith rise up and use their career their businesses their Investments their their status whatever social media profiles to make sure that God is known for people the challenge today is a lot of people are seeking for something and because Faith made Millionaires and faith-based entrepreneurs aren't making their profiles known that they're serving God that they're putting Jesus for that Jesus is King and instead of finding Jesus instead of finding Heaven instead of finding Faith people are finding it in drugs people are finding it in other genders people are finding in other political parties people are finding in in in in things that are twisted in this world and I want you to know that God has a solution to you and through you and wants to use you in a mighty and Powerful way if that's you you believe that put in the comment section I am being used for God I want if you're going to be used be used by God be used by God to bless other people and I pray that if you want to work for God in a very Mighty and Powerful way be wealthy be impactful elevate your status elevate your business Elevate yourself in your career the world needs to know how Believers Faith made millionaires faith-based entrepreneurs faith-based career-minded folks are elevating God's word once again because time it's ticken and time needs leaders God needs you to do a very big impact for him by the way if you want a
