The Keys To Creating An Impact That Outlives You! Here is a link to this great interview: http://www.eternalleadership.com/037 “The biggest mistake successful men and women do at midlife, when they're on a quest for renewal, is that they jump to the solution too quickly. They don't take the time to get clear on who they are: their strengths, their passions and their calling. They jump to, “Where could I serve?” And they take board roles or they leave their platform in corporate America or sell their company, whether they're sure if they really need it or not.” - Lloyd Reeb Lloyd Reeb started his career as a successful real estate developer when he was only a teenager. He borrowed the money from his father to purchase his first piece of land, and paid him back with interest. Upon graduating from college, Lloyd began building subdivisions. He experienced great financial success through his thriving business. Eventually, however, some important questions began nagging him. “But there was a point when I began to wonder, is this really all there is? Do I just continue to build buildings for the rest of my life and grow my net worth? Or is there some other purpose that I was put on this planet? Is there maybe something I'm missing? - Lloyd Reeb In his book, “Success to Significance,” Lloyd describes how to discover where your deepest passions intersect with your greatest abilities and harness them to help change the world. He unfolds a blueprint that has helped thousands of men and women redefine success and infuse their lives with eternal significance. I think there are a lot of us that get caught into a sort of course in our career and in our pursuit of success without stopping and asking the question, “If my life turned out perfectly, what would the elements be?” It's different than asking, “If my life were perfect you know, 5 years from now, what would it look like?” That's more of a tactical question. This was a long-term question. I spent a lot of time answering that one question. When I got clear on that, then it put my business in a different perspective.   What You Will Learn: How to discover your strengths and your true calling How to reorient your direction in life from success to significance How to use your talents and resources in ways that produce something that outlasts you How to find balance between the metrics in your life, such as performance, identity and relationships Why bailing from corporate America or selling your company may NOT be the best strategy to pursue your purpose

Finding Your Life Purpose http://www.eternalleadership.com/034   Making A Difference Right Where You Are (or where you are now)   “When we have a purpose, we can endure almost anything. When we have the faith in something greater, what we have to go through is bearable because we are here for a reason.” –Marilyn Tam Marilyn Tam was born in Hong Kong into a Chinese family that did not want her because she was a girl.  She was abused physically and verbally. She was told over and over again that she was worthless.  She was given away to her aunt and uncle, who in turn gave her back when they had a child of their own. But her grandfather and her Heavenly Father had planted seeds of belief deep down in her soul. She chose to flip the negative messages she had been given from “I am worthless” to “I can do anything!” She changed her perspective from feeling sorry for herself to a life mission of helping others make their lives better. Marilyn’s determination and vision earned her highly impactful positions in the corporate world, such as President of Reebok Apparel Products and Retail Group and CEO of Aveda.  She has authored the best-selling books “The Happiness Choice” and “Living the Life of Your Dreams,” and she hosts the weekly radio show, “The Happiness Choice.”   More importantly, however, Marilyn used these positions of influence to make great humanitarian impacts. She helped establish labor standards for para workers around the globe.  She worked with the native South Americans who live along the Amazon to grow back indigenous plants previously destroyed during deforestation.  She reaches countless listeners and readers every day, inspiring and mentoring them to make a difference in their worlds. “I understood that I don’t have to look for this big grandiose way of making a difference; I can make a difference wherever I am, whatever I am doing.”  –Marilyn Tam   What you will learn: -How to evaluate the effectiveness of our reference points -How to make our mission statement into an actionable point -How to recognize your own life purpose -How to reframe your situation when obstacles come your way

"The Cross brought us to our knees but should bring us to our feet as well!" - Michael Scott Here is the link to this episode and great resources http://www.eternalleadership.com/033 This is an inspiring interview with Michael Scott who followed his passion, created a company around it and has made a significant impact on millions of lives.  Michael shares the highs and lows of his journey and what he learned at each step that moved him forward and closer to God. Michael was the producer of the hit movie of God's Not Dead.  PureFlix just released their next movie that is one of the best movies I have seen in years.  If you are reading this GO see this movie!  It is outstanding.  Bring a friend, a group, anyone that is a believer or not as their life will be impacted.   Here is a summary of the movie: A dozen different souls—all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ … even if they don't believe it. Yet. When a local pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action. His response ignites a faith-fueled journey that powerfully impacts everyone it touches in ways that only God could orchestrate. This stirring new film from the creators of God's Not Dead is in theaters now. More than a movie, it's a question we all must answer in our lifetimes: DO YOU BELIEVE? "I don’t think we can do the greatest things until we take small steps. This could be as simple as coming to a movie like this with a friend that is lost or struggling." - Michael Scott

For all of the resources from this episode go to http://www.eternalleadership.com/031 Your design is perfect for your purpose. Potential is determined by the design of something. The bird can potentially fly, the fish can potentially swim and you? Your potential is intricately woven into your design and your design is crafted according to your — PURPOSE. You come packaged with all the gifts, talents, aptitudes and abilities necessary to engage your life purpose. As a believer, you have something extra. Remember the verse.. “I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me?” ( Phil 4:13) Paul was speaking about the peculiar demands and hardships he engaged in his calling. He could have said, “I can do all things (my purpose) through Christ (the anointing) that strengthens me!” You are designed to flow with a certain anointing or divine enabling that comes from heaven.
