Investment
Without investment, there can be no increase.
Educationally, America is suffereing as fifth in the world, as the emphasis has shifted over to memorization, vs creative problem solving.
– you have to use both sides of your brain, which means ur analytical and emotional faculties to see through to success.
— we have to invest into our minds and character
When Jesus became a curse for us, He broke the curse stated in Genesis, so that the ground should now work for us, rather than us toiling for it.
“Be fruitful” means to own business.
We have
In order to work for God, you have to make money work for you…
What is it that hinders you from investing in general and particularly in people?
— is your attitude toward needs around you appropriate?

It is time to get through what we have been going through.
what makes us get stuck?
1) sometimes it is more important what you dont do, than what you do do.
– say no to many good ideas.
— we can get spread so thin, we are good at a few things, but excellent in none.
– trying to please everybody is a recipe for failure.
– the more you grow, the more you say no.
2) Other peoples words
- critical words spoken into our lives, if we let them take root, they will stop us.
– it is better to be alone, than in the wrong company
— negative people will certainly suck life out of you.
– Not everyone has a right to speak into you life.
- It is much easier to criticize, than to create.
3) Unforgiveness
- in every area of a failing ministry or business, there is a cancer of unforgiveness.
– forgive your enemies
— you cant get ahead if you are trying to get even.
—-> It is a terrible misuse of God’s gift of creative imagination.

Super Achiever training expert
1) Prov 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
– The conscious mind can know, but be ineffectual
— The heart, or subconcious mind is what drives our actions and determines our destiny
2) Rom 12:2 Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind
— we make sure circumsancial results fit our beliefs. Many believe you have to be poor in order to
3) Matt 7:1-3 Why do you obsess over the mote in our brothers eye, and ignore beam in your own? First remove …
– we judge ourselves… What do ou judge yourself for? When you judge ourself, you call God a liar, because He already removed judgement from you.

Marriage
Since God is the God of relationship, not religion, we need to have the greatest marriage relationships of all.
The Bible has many examples of dysfunctional families.. starting with Adam and Eve… blame.. murder of Abel.. etc.
— how we deal with or differences makes all the difference in how well you succeed in relationships.
Tips:
- Make deposits into each others emotional bank accounts.
- Dont let the worries of the world, choke out the word that can make you your spouses critic instead of cheerleader.
- make a list of all the things about the greatness of your spouse
— it will break something in you.. dont worry about logic and the issues that stress you out, there is a spiritual dnamic you have to contend for that drives everything else you feel.

Big background in business is remarkable records in Chrysler Dealerships.
Biggest background achievment is the investment made into his children.
Moving out with what you have at hand now.
– many ideas are sitting where they hav been
“Even if you are on the right track, ou will get run over if you just sit there”
– Will Rogers
Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they will always come out ahead
Life is like a taxi. Whether or not you are moving, the meter is running.
Creating motion is one of the things you HAVE to do to turn around a dead or dying situation.
Dealership examples:
– changed appearance of place.
– Put new cars in front to look like volume dealership
– converted lookers into buyers by creating motion with demo cars
Your future is not based on where you are, it is based on where you decide to go.
You cannot stay where you are and move with God at the same time.
Neil Schober

Gen 12-25 These chapters are great faith developers for business.. especially when it is going tough.

How to be creative for God.
Dream: A stongly desired goal or purpose.
When you have a dream, you are never alone
A dream is only effective if you allow it to pull you out of a stagnant state
Dreams have to be fed…. just like children.
How do you feed a dream?
– Surround yourself with pictures that represent the results fulfilled.
– Start associating with people that have been where your dream is heading
– - Take on thier attitudes, let them impart to you.
–
Big things happen to those who take care of the little things.
– Mediocrity is so prevalent in the service industry.
— there is great reward in being the most responsive and loyal to customers needs.
Someone who is careless in the small things cannot be trusted with the big things.
– Albert Einstein
Make changes that make a diffrence. Sometimes you make a small change to make a big difference.
– Guliani wanted to make big changes in crime stats in NYC. He made squegee washers leave the streets. It was a small change, but the visibility was hi, and got everybody talking and believing the bigger changes were coming.
Put things in motion.
Move with other people. You are called to work with others to truly increase in great blessing.
