Boutique Practice Secrets: Why Your Calling Isn’t the Same as Your Assignment

Show Notes:

Hey friend — if you’ve ever felt torn between your mantle as a healer and the rest of your life, this episode is for you.

In this first episode back after my year-long “sabbatical,” I’m unpacking one of the biggest lessons God has been teaching me: the difference between your calling and your assignment — and how mixing them up can lead to burnout, frustration, and even wanting to walk away from your practice.

Whether you’re starting a boutique practice or your current practice needs a serious glow up, understanding this truth will help you create a part-time, cash, low-maintenance, profitable model that delivers life-changing transformation for your patients and gives you the margin you’ve been craving.

We’ll talk about:

• The key difference between your calling and your assignment (and why this matters for Christian women in healthcare)

• How forcing the wrong assignment can lead to burnout — even when you’re walking in your calling

• Real-life examples from my own journey of starting, growing, burning out, and rebuilding a boutique practice with heavenly strategy

• Why your assignment will shift from season to season — and how to build a practice that flexes with it

• The foundation you need so your practice can run, rest, or pivot without starting over

💡 Next Steps: If you’re ready to start or realign your boutique practice so it’s profitable, transformational, and aligned with your God-given assignment, join me in the Boutique Practice Bootcamp. It’s just $17, and in 5 days you’ll walk away with clarity, a plan, and a business model you can actually sustain.

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Hey, friend, and welcome to the Boutique Practices Podcast.
If you're a woman in healthcare who's felt torn between your mantle as a healer, and let's just say the rest of your life, you are not alone.
If you've been praying for a business model that is low maintenance part-time.
All cash, highly profitable and potentially social media optional because you don't have time to be dancing on TikTok all day and you know that you can deliver life-changing results for your patients, but you need something that allows you to have the margin you've been craving, then you're in the right place.

(00:37):
I'm your host, Dr.
Alex, and I'm here to show you how to use heavenly strategy to grow a practice and a business that honors every role God's given you.
From your practice to your home and everything in between.
Think Proverbs 31.
Wisdom meets boutique practice simplicity.
So whether you're rocking scrubs, yoga pants, or a spit on cupboard t-shirt, take a deep breath, press play, and let's build the dream practice God's placed on your heart today. 11 00:01:06,285.883454545 --> 00:01:11,715.883454545 Hello, hello and welcome back to the Boutique Practices Podcast. 12 00:01:12,15.883454545 --> 00:01:18,15.883454545 If you are listening to me for the very first time, I want you to know I'm super excited you are here. 13 00:01:18,345.883454545 --> 00:01:28,590.883454545 If you've listened before, you've probably noticed that this is the first episode I have published in almost a year, and y'all, I am so excited to be back because. 14 00:01:30,165.883454545 --> 00:01:38,85.883454545 It's been an incredible, amazing year and God has just been downloading some amazing things on my heart, on my soul. 15 00:01:38,115.883454545 --> 00:01:47,235.88345455 I cannot wait to share for you, and as much as I would love to jump in and give you an update on all of the things, y'all, I know what you're here for. 16 00:01:47,235.88345455 --> 00:01:48,105.88345455 You're not here for my whole life. 17 00:01:49,155.88345455 --> 00:02:01,635.88345455 But I will be sharing a little bit over the next couple of episodes of what has gone down in the next year, why I haven't been around for about a year, why I've taken it, quote unquote sabbatical, what's been going on, all the things. 18 00:02:01,905.88345455 --> 00:02:03,75.88345455 I will give you the tea. 19 00:02:03,75.88345455 --> 00:02:08,775.88345455 I will be spilling the tea a little bit at a time, but if I told you all right now, it would take me like two, two and a half hours. 20 00:02:08,775.88345455 --> 00:02:12,405.88345455 And like I said, I don't think anybody wants to hear about my life that much. 21 00:02:12,815.88345455 --> 00:02:22,685.88345455 So what we're gonna do is just jump right in because y'all, I'm just so excited and I'm, I cannot wait to talk about some of the amazing things that I have learned over the last year. 22 00:02:23,195.88345455 --> 00:02:31,895.88345455 And I just want you to know if you have ever had a God-sized vision for your life in practice, but the season you're in right now feels like. 23 00:02:33,255.88345455 --> 00:02:37,95.88345455 Way too hard to hold it all in or you're too small to hold it. 24 00:02:37,365.88345455 --> 00:02:49,115.88345455 This episode is going to set you free 'cause we're gonna unpack the difference between your calling and your assignment and why they are not the same thing and how understanding this will keep you from burnout and disappointment. 25 00:02:49,505.88345455 --> 00:02:57,635.88345455 Y'all, if you're listening in and you're like wondering what happened the last year or so, that might be a little cue right there, but I don't wanna give a spoil alert. 26 00:02:57,695.88345455 --> 00:03:17,925.88345455 What I actually wanna talk to you about is why you need to stay tuned to the end, because at the end of this episode, I'm gonna share a huge announcement about something coming to Boutique Practices, the podcast, and the brand, and a little not so little secret about a new team member that is coming to the Boutique Practices Program. 27 00:03:17,925.88345455 --> 00:03:23,450.88345455 I'm so excited y'all to announce this, so stay tuned because I think you're gonna love it too. 28 00:03:25,455.88345455 --> 00:03:39,675.88345455 So before we dive in, if you already know you want a step by step guide to building your boutique practice, or your current boutique practices needs a serious glow up, I want you to know that we have some cool things coming up this year. 29 00:03:40,440.88345455 --> 00:03:40,890.88345455 Alrighty. 30 00:03:41,100.88345455 --> 00:03:51,870.88345455 Okay, so what is the big step?

What is your role on the mission field? Okay. 61 00:06:08,235.88345455 --> 00:06:10,95.88345455 Now you might have several different callings. 62 00:06:10,95.88345455 --> 00:06:11,70.88345455 By the way, if you listen to this podcast. 63 00:06:11,745.88345455 --> 00:06:13,95.88345455 For more than one or two episodes. 64 00:06:13,95.88345455 --> 00:06:27,345.88345455 You probably know almost everybody here who is a mom or multi-passionate or you have other things going on and you want a practice and you know, you are called to serve people through whatever, service that it is that you offer, whatever modality, whatever profession that you're in. 65 00:06:27,435.88345455 --> 00:06:36,165.88345455 And at the same time, you have other callings and you recognize that they both have to coexist at the same time and one cannot swallow or eat up or take over the other. 66 00:06:36,705.88345455 --> 00:06:38,235.88345455 And that is not gonna change. 67 00:06:38,235.88345455 --> 00:06:39,135.88345455 It's never changed. 68 00:06:39,185.88345455 --> 00:06:45,755.88345455 My calling specifically, maybe you resonate with this, my calling is to help people figure out where they are misaligned. 69 00:06:46,295.88345455 --> 00:06:52,385.88345455 I'm a chiropractor, so that probably that means like physically, but also whether it's in their mindset or their business. 70 00:06:53,345.88345455 --> 00:07:08,230.88345455 Is help is to help shine light on something that is incongruent, that is out of alignment with the vision and the plan that God has for you, my job is to get in there and shine light in a way that allows the Holy Spirit to reveal distortion patterns and heal distortion patterns. 71 00:07:08,230.88345455 --> 00:07:10,840.88345455 Like I don't do the healing, I don't do the correcting. 72 00:07:11,20.88345455 --> 00:07:22,510.88345455 My job is to get in there and help you to see where it is so you can invite the, the, the help that you need or the support or allow for the changes to happen, whether it's in your body or in your business or in your mind. 73 00:07:22,600.88345455 --> 00:07:25,0.88345455 Okay, so that is like zoomed out. 74 00:07:25,35.88345455 --> 00:07:25,755.88345455 My mission. 75 00:07:25,755.88345455 --> 00:07:28,275.88345455 You, a lot of you probably have a very similar mission. 76 00:07:28,275.88345455 --> 00:07:28,905.88345455 You're like, yes. 77 00:07:28,905.88345455 --> 00:07:33,495.88345455 My mission, my, my calling is to help people optimize their lives one way or another. 78 00:07:34,240.88345455 --> 00:07:35,650.88345455 But here is the kicker. 79 00:07:35,985.88345455 --> 00:07:38,205.88345455 Your assignment, my friend, is different. 80 00:07:38,505.88345455 --> 00:07:40,305.88345455 Your assignment changes. 81 00:07:40,565.88345455 --> 00:07:45,725.88345455 Your assignment is how God asks you to walk out your calling in a specific season. 82 00:07:46,795.88345455 --> 00:07:47,905.88345455 I want you to know that my. 83 00:07:47,905.88345455 --> 00:07:49,105.88345455 assignment in this season. 84 00:07:49,525.88345455 --> 00:07:54,444.15618102 is to equip and encourage women in healthcare to serve with a purpose, integrity, and excellence. 85 00:07:54,690.6418953 --> 00:07:59,758.02760959 So We have something really cool coming in September, which is going to be the Boutique Practice Bootcamp. 86 00:07:59,758.02760959 --> 00:08:09,538.02760959 Y'all, some of you listeners were on the Boutique Practice Bootcamp like a couple of years ago, and y'all, that was one of the best cohorts, the best programs that we have done in a very long time. 87 00:08:09,538.02760959 --> 00:08:18,868.02760959 So I am bringing it back, but bringing it back with a whole new fresh win, and I cannot wait to dive in and tell y'all more about that at the end of this episode. 88 00:08:19,728.02760959 --> 00:08:23,58.02760959 That said you're calling, it never changes. 89 00:08:23,88.02760959 --> 00:08:27,228.02760959 Okay? And this is why in the bootcamp that I talked about, we are gonna start with clarity. 90 00:08:27,258.02760959 --> 00:08:36,408.02760959 'cause if you don't have clarity on what your calling is, whether your marketing, your offers, your business, your schedule, none of it's gonna make sense in the long term. 91 00:08:36,408.02760959 --> 00:08:40,428.02760959 So we all have to understand and be clear on what God is calling us to do. 92 00:08:40,848.02760959 --> 00:08:47,718.02760959 When I realized this, I was like, no wonder things aren't making any sense because I feel like I'm operating in my calling, but I feel like I'm all over the place. 93 00:08:47,718.02760959 --> 00:08:49,968.02760959 I feel like I cannot pour from the overflow. 94 00:08:49,968.02760959 --> 00:08:52,248.02760959 I feel over, over extended. 95 00:08:52,248.02760959 --> 00:08:53,928.02760959 I feel frustrated. 96 00:08:53,928.02760959 --> 00:08:55,68.02760959 I feel burnt out. 97 00:08:55,68.02760959 --> 00:09:01,308.02760959 How am I burnt out? Like I've done everything to guard against burnout that everyone says to do, but for whatever reason, I can't figure it out. 98 00:09:01,308.02760959 --> 00:09:01,608.02760959 Well. 99 00:09:02,13.02760959 --> 00:09:06,213.02760959 I can tell you the answer is I was not operating in my assignment. 100 00:09:06,543.02760959 --> 00:09:11,193.02760959 I was operating in my calling, but I had a different assignment in that season. 101 00:09:11,193.02760959 --> 00:09:15,693.02760959 And y'all, I cannot wait to share with y'all more on episodes to come and kind of break this all down. 102 00:09:15,933.02760959 --> 00:09:21,93.02760959 But the re the, the key here is your assignment can change without your calling disappearing. 103 00:09:21,663.02760959 --> 00:09:24,353.02760959 Okay? Your assignment can change from day to day. 104 00:09:24,353.02760959 --> 00:09:25,823.02760959 It can change from person to person. 105 00:09:25,823.02760959 --> 00:09:27,683.02760959 It can change from season to season. 106 00:09:28,463.02760959 --> 00:09:31,943.02760959 And when God shifts all of a sudden. 107 00:09:32,873.02760959 --> 00:09:47,783.02760959 The things that were super challenging when God changes your assignment, the things that were super challenging but were somehow getting done anyways, that you had that supernatural just like lift to be able to do and handle when God was doing the heavy lifting for you. 108 00:09:47,783.02760959 --> 00:09:51,473.02760959 Things that were should be super hard, that are super easy. 109 00:09:51,473.02760959 --> 00:09:53,3.02760959 All of a sudden switch and change. 110 00:09:53,3.02760959 --> 00:09:54,833.02760959 You're gonna, when the assignment shifts. 111 00:09:54,833.02760959 --> 00:10:06,443.02760959 And I can tell you I felt this happen so hard and I resisted it so much when my assignment sifted things that were easy to me, because they were supernaturally made easy for me. 112 00:10:06,473.02760959 --> 00:10:08,93.02760959 All of a sudden became super challenging. 113 00:10:09,713.02760959 --> 00:10:12,413.02760959 Things that I could do in my sleep became super challenging. 114 00:10:12,593.02760959 --> 00:10:14,993.02760959 When it was time for me to take a break from practice. 115 00:10:14,993.02760959 --> 00:10:17,63.02760959 Can I tell y'all, I feel like my hands went numb. 116 00:10:17,213.02760959 --> 00:10:19,463.02760959 I could not figure out what was going on with my patients. 117 00:10:19,463.02760959 --> 00:10:23,213.02760959 I would palpate, I would do all things and I would, I like, could not put the pieces together. 118 00:10:23,573.02760959 --> 00:10:29,778.02760959 All of a sudden, these skills that I had honed over years could not, my hands did not know what to do with the. 119 00:10:30,698.02760959 --> 00:10:50,288.02760959 All of a sudden in my business, all of a sudden, when it was time for me to take the sabbatical, the one year that I've been off all the ideas and thoughts and the ways that I wanted to share with the world, what boutique, like the, the, the holy strategy that boutique practices is that I feel like God has given me, number one, I'm super excited because he's given me a fresh wind on it. 120 00:10:50,468.02760959 --> 00:10:51,938.02760959 But number two, like I couldn't fig. 121 00:10:51,998.02760959 --> 00:10:54,188.02760959 It was just so challenging for me too. 122 00:10:54,353.02760959 --> 00:11:02,903.02760959 To be able to hold space for the people that I was helping and to be able to get clear on what it is that he wanted me to communicate and say I was all over the place. 123 00:11:03,113.02760959 --> 00:11:04,493.02760959 Things that came super easy. 124 00:11:04,493.02760959 --> 00:11:06,533.02760959 Like this episode right now, like I'm not lying y'all. 125 00:11:06,533.02760959 --> 00:11:08,573.02760959 This is like fun and easy, but. 126 00:11:08,993.02760959 --> 00:11:12,323.02760959 My last few episodes, if you listen to 'em, they probably sound kind of strained. 127 00:11:12,503.02760959 --> 00:11:14,153.02760959 'cause they were, they were hard. 128 00:11:14,213.02760959 --> 00:11:14,993.02760959 It was challenging. 129 00:11:14,993.02760959 --> 00:11:15,983.02760959 I was all over the place. 130 00:11:15,983.02760959 --> 00:11:21,293.02760959 I couldn't think straight because my assignment had changed and I wasn't willing to move with it right away. 131 00:11:21,293.02760959 --> 00:11:25,373.02760959 And so that is number one, a sign that your assignment has changed. 132 00:11:25,673.02760959 --> 00:11:26,93.02760959 Okay. 133 00:11:27,263.02760959 --> 00:11:34,463.02760959 Number two, I want y'all to know that what is key when your assignment changes, like I said, your calling doesn't disappear. 134 00:11:35,213.02760959 --> 00:11:38,123.02760959 And inside the boutique practice Mastermind with something. 135 00:11:38,693.02760959 --> 00:11:41,153.02760959 Something else that is coming that I'm super excited about. 136 00:11:41,423.02760959 --> 00:11:50,153.02760959 We are gonna help women just like you design or pivot or tweak their practice in a way that works for their current assignment, for your current assignment. 137 00:11:50,153.02760959 --> 00:12:03,683.02760959 So you are not being like me, trying to go for one and a half years, two years, completely out of alignment with your assignment, like operating in your skills, gifts and calling, but completely outta alignment in your assignment and running straight into the wall of burnout. 138 00:12:03,923.02760959 --> 00:12:05,363.02760959 I want y'all to be able to. 139 00:12:05,543.02760959 --> 00:12:11,303.02760959 Move through each season at the pace that God has you at in the assignment that you have. 140 00:12:11,303.02760959 --> 00:12:13,793.02760959 And that's what we're gonna do in the boutique practice Mastermind, y'all. 141 00:12:13,793.02760959 --> 00:12:26,48.02760959 If you are at all looking for some support with your practice or getting ready to start a practice and you're like, man, I've been looking for a mentor, I've been looking for, you know, a way to take this vision, this dream that I have. 142 00:12:27,23.02760959 --> 00:12:34,163.02760959 This calling that I have and get clear on it and then not just get clear on it, but actually design a practice around it. 143 00:12:34,163.02760959 --> 00:12:35,3.02760959 That makes sense. 144 00:12:35,3.02760959 --> 00:12:35,273.02760959 Y'all. 145 00:12:35,273.02760959 --> 00:12:39,773.02760959 I cannot wait to jump in with you in the boutique practice Mastermind. 146 00:12:40,703.02760959 --> 00:12:41,93.02760959 Okay. 147 00:12:41,303.02760959 --> 00:12:42,293.02760959 But here's the thing. 148 00:12:42,623.02760959 --> 00:12:51,563.02760959 There's one, there's something else we have to recognize when it comes to our assignments and our calling and what the difference is when we're misaligned, when we are out of alignment. 149 00:12:51,563.02760959 --> 00:12:55,318.02760959 And you probably realize this when you are out of alignment with your assignment. 150 00:12:56,558.02760959 --> 00:12:59,108.02760959 You will find yourself burnout. 151 00:13:00,368.02760959 --> 00:13:06,158.02760959 You can literally, like I said I did, you can do all of the things that all the gurus tell you to do. 152 00:13:06,368.02760959 --> 00:13:18,578.02760959 But if you are making your own plans and submitting them to God for approval, and you are not operating in the way in the calling, not just the calling, but the way he's asked you to walk out your calling, you will run into burnout. 153 00:13:18,818.02760959 --> 00:13:21,788.02760959 Why? Because you will be operating in your own strength. 154 00:13:22,673.02760959 --> 00:13:23,543.02760959 Lemme say that again. 155 00:13:23,543.02760959 --> 00:13:34,853.02760959 When you are not in alignment with your assignment, you will push, you will press, and you will operate in your own strength and things that should be light and easy will be, will be overwhelmingly heavy. 156 00:13:34,853.02760959 --> 00:13:36,653.02760959 You will not be able to keep up. 157 00:13:36,863.02760959 --> 00:13:49,13.02760959 You might be able to run at a really fast pace right now when you get started, but trust me, when you're running a marathon and you got 25 pounds on your back and you're going as fast as you possibly can, I want you to know. 158 00:13:49,853.02760959 --> 00:13:50,663.02760959 I've done that. 159 00:13:50,663.02760959 --> 00:13:54,323.02760959 And I also want you to know you're gonna get tired, honey. 160 00:13:54,653.02760959 --> 00:13:55,943.02760959 And here's the thing. 161 00:13:56,243.02760959 --> 00:13:58,373.02760959 God doesn't say that it's gonna be easy. 162 00:13:58,523.02760959 --> 00:14:04,943.02760959 He doesn't say our callings or assignments are easy, but what he does say is that his yoke is light. 163 00:14:05,63.02760959 --> 00:14:12,473.02760959 Okay? When you are operating in assignment, even when things challenge you, even when things are hard, he's gonna move those mountains. 164 00:14:12,833.02760959 --> 00:14:14,663.02760959 What I realized in the last year. 165 00:14:15,248.02760959 --> 00:14:28,478.02760959 Is that I had been staring at this mountain in my life for two years, a mountain specific mountain for two years asking it, got pleading for God to move, saying, why won't this mountain move? And he's like, girl, I'm not asking you to climb that mountain. 166 00:14:28,478.02760959 --> 00:14:30,218.02760959 I'm not asking you to go that way. 167 00:14:30,398.02760959 --> 00:14:31,238.02760959 Pivot please. 168 00:14:31,238.02760959 --> 00:14:33,818.02760959 Like this is not the direction you want to go. 169 00:14:34,118.02760959 --> 00:14:37,868.02760959 So I was trying to scale this mountain on my own because I'm like, well, God's not gonna move it now. 170 00:14:37,868.02760959 --> 00:14:39,488.02760959 I guess I gotta get up on my own. 171 00:14:40,118.02760959 --> 00:14:43,298.02760959 And can I tell you, that is just so hardheaded. 172 00:14:43,358.02760959 --> 00:14:43,778.02760959 Um. 173 00:14:44,618.02760959 --> 00:14:45,758.02760959 I'm, I'm saying it about myself. 174 00:14:45,758.02760959 --> 00:14:52,838.02760959 It was so hardheaded, but I'm so glad that he got ahold of me and he actually forced me to sit down, slow down and listen. 175 00:14:52,838.02760959 --> 00:14:55,688.02760959 So that way I could actually follow the path he had me on. 176 00:14:56,438.02760959 --> 00:14:56,648.02760959 Okay. 177 00:14:56,648.02760959 --> 00:15:06,938.02760959 And that is why what we're doing in boutique practices and this fresh wind that he's given to us is so powerful because in the bootcamp that's coming up. 178 00:15:07,613.02760959 --> 00:15:13,733.02760959 What I've, that I've talked about before is we are gonna talk about so much more than what I've ever done in a bootcamp or in any of my trainings. 179 00:15:14,3.02760959 --> 00:15:16,73.02760959 We're gonna talk about more than attracting patients. 180 00:15:16,253.02760959 --> 00:15:25,133.02760959 We're gonna talk about more than setting up, you know, new patient visits and, and the processes and the SOPs and all the things we are gonna talk about. 181 00:15:25,283.02760959 --> 00:15:27,893.02760959 Building something your life can actually hold. 182 00:15:28,328.02760959 --> 00:15:31,478.02760959 Right now that you actually have capacity for right now. 183 00:15:31,538.02760959 --> 00:15:41,768.02760959 And that is foundational in a way that when it is time for your assignment to shift, when things are ready to go, when God says go. 184 00:15:43,73.02760959 --> 00:15:49,643.02760959 Whether it's go a different direction or slow down, go ahead and slow down or go ahead and run full steam ahead. 185 00:15:49,643.02760959 --> 00:15:54,653.02760959 It is something that is tweakable something that is pivotable that is not heavy. 186 00:15:54,653.02760959 --> 00:15:55,283.02760959 It's not this thing. 187 00:15:55,283.02760959 --> 00:15:58,43.02760959 You've just gotta slough off and start over with y'all. 188 00:15:58,43.02760959 --> 00:16:05,453.02760959 It's gonna be, I'm so excited because can I tell you, when you do this right, when you set up a boutique practice, right, when it is time to go. 189 00:16:05,858.02760959 --> 00:16:11,48.02760959 All of a sudden things happen that you, you feel like you have, you don't even know why it's happening. 190 00:16:11,258.02760959 --> 00:16:12,368.02760959 Lemme give you an example. 191 00:16:12,428.02760959 --> 00:16:18,68.02760959 My boutique practice, I started, uh, 2020, right? And I used a lot of these same principles. 192 00:16:18,68.02760959 --> 00:16:21,728.02760959 Now, I didn't have the same depth and breadth and nuance of understanding. 193 00:16:21,728.02760959 --> 00:16:24,158.02760959 I feel like the Lord has given me over this last year. 194 00:16:24,158.02760959 --> 00:16:35,258.02760959 But I started this practice with a vision of having a practice that provided transformational care that also provided margin for me in my time and my finances and my family. 195 00:16:35,258.02760959 --> 00:16:43,178.0276096 And man, when I built that thing and, and I, and designed it with this God breathe strategy, it was absolutely amazing. 196 00:16:43,478.0276096 --> 00:16:49,508.0276096 And then I decided that I wanted a different assignment and I started doing something completely off track. 197 00:16:49,898.0276096 --> 00:16:54,698.0276096 Um, and I started going my own way and God pivoted me and I went back on track. 198 00:16:55,493.0276096 --> 00:16:57,23.0276096 Went off again and then da, da, da. 199 00:16:57,23.0276096 --> 00:16:57,893.0276096 And I kept going back and forth. 200 00:16:58,943.0276096 --> 00:17:05,603.0276096 But when God finally told me to sit down, I sat down and I thought I had burned my practice down. 201 00:17:05,603.0276096 --> 00:17:06,653.0276096 That's essentially what I tried to do. 202 00:17:06,653.0276096 --> 00:17:09,173.0276096 I tried to burn my practice down 'cause I was like, I can't hold this anymore. 203 00:17:09,173.0276096 --> 00:17:10,763.0276096 It's frustrating, it's exhausting, and da da, da da. 204 00:17:10,913.0276096 --> 00:17:12,263.0276096 Like I was just in full burnout. 205 00:17:12,263.0276096 --> 00:17:13,523.0276096 And so I tried to burn it down. 206 00:17:14,633.0276096 --> 00:17:17,663.0276096 Can I tell you that that did not work. 207 00:17:17,663.0276096 --> 00:17:21,323.0276096 I was not successful in burning it down 'cause the guy was not telling me to put it down forever. 208 00:17:21,323.0276096 --> 00:17:23,693.0276096 He wasn't telling me to close down close shop forever. 209 00:17:23,963.0276096 --> 00:17:29,903.0276096 What he was telling me was to sit down, sit on the bench for a little bit, pay attention and take some rest. 210 00:17:30,833.0276096 --> 00:17:38,873.0276096 But then when he said it was time to go again, can I tell you I like some of the things that I'm gonna teach in this bootcamp. 211 00:17:39,758.0276096 --> 00:17:48,908.0276096 Because they were founded on this foundation that I, again, believe is, was God breathed? Yes, I got off track for a minute, but God breathed foundation. 212 00:17:48,938.0276096 --> 00:17:51,428.0276096 That is the foundation of boutique practices. 213 00:17:51,608.0276096 --> 00:17:53,978.0276096 When I said, okay, I'm ready to come back to practice again. 214 00:17:54,638.0276096 --> 00:18:03,758.0276096 All of a sudden a few tweaks, like 15 minutes of tweaks on the internet, when I, I went from, I had burned my practice down. 215 00:18:03,758.0276096 --> 00:18:04,688.0276096 I had basically. 216 00:18:06,413.0276096 --> 00:18:08,303.0276096 Destroyed my wait list. 217 00:18:08,483.0276096 --> 00:18:15,143.0276096 I had gone from being completely booked, waitlisted all the things, made a bunch of changes that I should't have made, learned a bunch of really hard lessons. 218 00:18:15,143.0276096 --> 00:18:16,953.0276096 My practice basically died. 219 00:18:17,113.0276096 --> 00:18:19,63.0276096 I burned it down while it was dying. 220 00:18:19,63.0276096 --> 00:18:20,23.0276096 I was like, you're already dying. 221 00:18:20,23.0276096 --> 00:18:22,483.0276096 Lemme just burn, but toss some gasoline on this and let it go. 222 00:18:23,263.0276096 --> 00:18:23,473.0276096 Yeah. 223 00:18:24,133.0276096 --> 00:18:26,593.0276096 God is a God of resurrection. 224 00:18:26,933.0276096 --> 00:18:33,983.0276096 When he said lazarous to my practice, literally 15 minutes of tweaks because this strong foundation was there. 225 00:18:34,163.0276096 --> 00:18:37,883.0276096 All of a sudden I was busy again, not just busy, I was waitlisted again. 226 00:18:38,93.0276096 --> 00:18:42,683.0276096 I was like, what is going on here? Where are these people coming from? And it was not. 227 00:18:43,13.0276096 --> 00:18:45,953.0276096 Can I tell you? It was not all my previous practice members. 228 00:18:45,983.0276096 --> 00:18:57,263.0276096 I got busy because I had a strong foundation and a few things that once I even try, like literally trying to burn it down, literally watching it die, literally thinking it was gone forever. 229 00:18:57,473.0276096 --> 00:19:01,553.0276096 That when God said it's time to get back up, that thing pop right up, like there nothing happened. 230 00:19:01,553.0276096 --> 00:19:02,958.0276096 It was like boom, we were ready to go. 231 00:19:03,398.0276096 --> 00:19:05,378.0276096 So I wanna, and I wanna teach you those things. 232 00:19:05,408.0276096 --> 00:19:24,548.0276096 I wanna teach you this foundation of building a practice, that if you have a season where you need to slow down or stop or even move to another location, move to another town or another city, a foundation that will allow for you to build something that when it is time to turn it down, it can turn down. 233 00:19:24,548.0276096 --> 00:19:28,598.0276096 When it's time to turn it up, it can turn up that when God says go, it will go. 234 00:19:28,598.0276096 --> 00:19:30,978.0276096 When God says rest, it can rest and it will not. 235 00:19:31,418.0276096 --> 00:19:41,288.0276096 It will not be this huge yoke upon you, then you're gonna wanna attend this bootcamp, y'all, because if it was God breathing, God design, and given to you in a mission and a calling, it's there forever. 236 00:19:41,288.0276096 --> 00:19:42,608.0276096 Your calling is there forever. 237 00:19:42,608.0276096 --> 00:19:51,38.0276096 We just have to get in alignment with our assignment when it's not aligned, when we're not assigned, all of a sudden things seem so hard and confusing and frustrating. 238 00:19:51,338.0276096 --> 00:20:01,478.0276096 If you're just curious, it is going to be a five day intensive that will walk you through exactly what to focus on and how you can start or realign your practice in just one week. 239 00:20:01,748.0276096 --> 00:20:03,338.0276096 And it's happening in September. 240 00:20:03,338.0276096 --> 00:20:05,378.0276096 It's gonna be starting September 22nd. 241 00:20:05,698.0276096 --> 00:20:12,808.0276096 It's gonna cost you less than a lunch or a coffee day, okay? It's going to help you get clear, confident and back on assignment. 242 00:20:12,808.0276096 --> 00:20:19,528.0276096 So if you wanna grab your spot now, I want you to go ahead and head on over to brew team practices.com/bootcamp 243 00:20:19,528.0276096 --> 00:20:20,8.0276096 to sign up. 244 00:20:20,838.0276096 --> 00:20:30,918.0276096 So tying all of that back, I want you to just take a minute and think about your practice right now, or your future practice or the way you're. 245 00:20:31,518.0276096 --> 00:20:37,968.0276096 You're envisioning your life or whether you're a, an associate or you're in your own practice, you're building your own practice, you're a student. 246 00:20:38,268.0276096 --> 00:20:50,658.0276096 I want you to take a minute and ask yourself, am I walking in alignment with my current assignment or am or am I trying to force myself into one? I haven't been appointed to yet. 247 00:20:51,993.0276096 --> 00:21:01,113.0276096 Or am I trying to make some old jeans that no longer fit, fit, like am I trying to squeeze into some old jeans that the Lord has? You have grown out of y'all. 248 00:21:01,113.0276096 --> 00:21:03,153.0276096 My kiddos is the first day of school today. 249 00:21:03,783.0276096 --> 00:21:11,943.0276096 Literally, and my son was trying to wear some pants that he, uh, could fit at the end of the school year that he no longer can fit. 250 00:21:11,943.0276096 --> 00:21:18,843.0276096 He grew an inch plus over the summer and he was trying to squeeze in these pants and I felt like the Lord saying, like, you see, see that's what we were do. 251 00:21:18,933.0276096 --> 00:21:22,263.0276096 That's what you were trying to do, like you were trying to hold onto some of these old things. 252 00:21:22,443.0276096 --> 00:21:25,23.0276096 Like, I'm not saying stop wearing jeans forever. 253 00:21:25,203.0276096 --> 00:21:27,3.0276096 Like I love that. 254 00:21:27,678.0276096 --> 00:21:28,638.0276096 You love jeans. 255 00:21:28,758.0276096 --> 00:21:30,138.0276096 I'm just gonna give you some new ones. 256 00:21:30,168.0276096 --> 00:21:41,388.0276096 And that's what this new updated version of Boutique Practices is this fresh win that I'm super excited to just continue to share these downloads that God has given me over this last year here on this podcast. 257 00:21:41,688.0276096 --> 00:21:52,788.0276096 Okay, so I ask yourself that question, are you trying to fit into some old jeans? Are you trying to put on some big old baggy jeans that you're not ready for yet? Are you walking in your assignment? And then I want you to write it down. 258 00:21:52,998.0276096 --> 00:21:53,868.0276096 I want you to write it down. 259 00:21:54,368.0276096 --> 00:21:59,78.0276096 Pray over and don't be afraid if the answer means making a pivot. 260 00:21:59,498.0276096 --> 00:22:10,568.0276096 Don't be afraid if God is telling you to size down if you're in some pants that you're not ready for yet, and don't be afraid to move up if God is like, okay, honey, like these don't fit anymore. 261 00:22:11,738.0276096 --> 00:22:15,938.0276096 Because sometimes, sometimes we need to change our position. 262 00:22:17,718.0276096 --> 00:22:21,138.0276096 Sometimes we need to slow down to go fast. 263 00:22:21,288.0276096 --> 00:22:24,228.0276096 Sometimes we need to shrink before we can stretch. 264 00:22:24,648.0276096 --> 00:22:29,508.0276096 Okay? So if you are listening to this and you're like, oh my gosh, like this is exactly what I needed. 265 00:22:29,508.0276096 --> 00:22:31,158.0276096 I'm so glad you're back, Alex. 266

calling is the why. 281 00:23:21,8.0276096 --> 00:23:37,208.0276096 Your assignment is the what and how in this season, when you know and honor the difference, you are able to stop forcing things and actually start flowing, actually start pouring from the overflow, and that's when your practice not only becomes sustainable, it becomes joyful. 282 00:23:37,208.0276096 --> 00:23:38,438.0276096 It becomes. 283 00:23:38,683.0276096 --> 00:23:44,833.0276096 The place that you want to be when you're in it, and it does not flood over the rest of your life. 284 00:23:44,833.0276096 --> 00:24:00,13.0276096 You get to operate in your other assignments and your other callings without them being at odds with each other and, okay, so speaking of joy, I've got some exciting news that I
