And I said to her, Ooh, it sounds like y'all are in a painful situation. 28 00:02:33,855.99773242 --> 00:02:43,195.99673242 And I love painful situations, because painful situations, and Sam's shaking his head no, painful situations cause us to take action. 29 00:02:43,965.99773242 --> 00:02:49,105.99773242 And so now, What has to happen is they need to get some drivers lined up. 30 00:02:50,145.99773242 --> 00:02:52,635.99773242 Pain causes pain is the ultimate motivator. 31 00:02:52,665.99773242 --> 00:02:56,975.99773242 Tony Robbins says we either move to avoid pain. 32 00:02:57,555.99773242 --> 00:03:00,55.99773242 We move to avoid pain first of all. 33 00:03:00,55.99773242 --> 00:03:02,215.99773242 And then second of all, we move towards pleasure. 34 00:03:02,215.99773242 --> 00:03:05,225.99673242 So I was able to coach them through that and encourage them. 35 00:03:05,235.99673242 --> 00:03:10,155.99773242 Oh, no, you guys are going to be at the retreat and you're going to have all your drivers and everything lined up. 36 00:03:10,155.99773242 --> 00:03:15,795.99773242 So Stacy, any thoughts on that? You ever had any pain that pushed you towards your purpose? Yeah. 37 00:03:16,500.99773242 --> 00:03:28,690.99773242 Yeah, I actually think of an example from one of our other franchisees, where he said he had an event scheduled a lot of reservations. 38 00:03:29,50.99673242 --> 00:03:33,500.99673242 And then one of his consignment owners pulled out at the last minute. 39 00:03:34,450.99673242 --> 00:03:43,880.99773242 So he already had that reservation, everything else was booked, and he had that pain of having to fill that reservation so he needed to find campers. 40 00:03:44,345.99773242 --> 00:03:52,155.99773242 So that caused him to take action of reaching out to a bunch of RV owners to try to get them to sign up for our RV rental management program. 41 00:03:52,675.99773242 --> 00:03:54,635.99773242 So I thought that was a good example. 42 00:03:55,705.99773242 --> 00:03:58,495.99673242 Yes, see pain is the ultimate motivator. 43 00:03:59,235.99773242 --> 00:04:07,945.99773242 Unfortunately, as humans, we have to wait until it's so painful to, to stay in the current situation that we move towards a little bit of pleasure. 44 00:04:08,395.99773242 --> 00:04:09,295.99773242 And that's how it works. 45 00:04:09,605.99773242 --> 00:04:14,445.99773242 You know, and that kind of brings me to my next point about retreats. 46 00:04:15,385.99773242 --> 00:04:18,335.99773242 And it makes me think of even just the word retreat. 47 00:04:18,345.99773242 --> 00:04:21,965.99873242 When you think of the word retreat, you think a battle. 48 00:04:22,305.99873242 --> 00:04:28,715.99873242 Right, and you're retreating from your opposition, which in that sense, a retreat is really not a good thing. 49 00:04:28,715.99873242 --> 00:04:30,295.99873242 You're like, man, we're getting our tails whooped. 50 00:04:30,305.99873242 --> 00:04:33,635.99873242 We need to go this way to get a little bit of a break. 51 00:04:34,125.99873242 --> 00:05:12,595.99773242 But really at a retreat, what happens in this sense, Like a spiritual retreat a business retreat Our retreat is really going to be both stacy and I made an agreement a little bit earlier earlier She's going to handle the natural i'm going to take care of the spiritual We're going to have a retreat but really why are we retreating? We're retreating so that we can we can spend some time together so we can get built up so that we can get encouraged so that we can step out of the day to day and mastermind and, and hear what each other is doing in our businesses so we can take that back to go back into battle. 52 00:05:12,595.99773242 --> 00:05:17,515.99773242 So that franchisee that I was telling you about, she's like, well, what do you think ours is important that he's there. 53 00:05:18,50.99773244 --> 00:05:26,720.99773244 Or do you think that's okay? Am I wrong that I'm upset that he was going to leave to deliver campers? Do you think it's important that he's there? And I said, yeah, it's very important that he's there. 54 00:05:26,721.09773244 --> 00:05:38,830.99773244 I mean, that is exactly the place that he needs to be, which leads me to another one of my favorite quotes by one of my mentors, Myron Golden, disruption always follows intention. 55 00:05:39,430.99773244 --> 00:05:51,750.99773244 So bring the spiritual into this natural now it's no coincidence that they're getting ready to retreat here in a couple days and get built up to go back and build their business. 56 00:05:52,150.99673244 --> 00:06:01,250.99773244 Then a bunch of rentals just came in and presented them with a big problem that presented them with the opportunity to say, Oh yeah, well, we should probably maybe not go to the retreat. 57 00:06:01,250.99773244 --> 00:06:02,520.99773244 We've got to figure out all these rentals. 58 00:06:02,920.99773244 --> 00:06:03,400.99773244 No. 59 00:06:04,615.99773244 --> 00:06:06,245.99773244 That's not the right solution. 60 00:06:06,525.99773244 --> 00:06:08,685.99773244 Disruption always follows intention. 61 00:06:09,75.99773244 --> 00:06:19,105.99773244 So praise God they were able to make the right choice and choose not to retreat from the retreat and stay working in the business. 62 00:06:19,135.99773244 --> 00:06:38,30.99673244 They were able to Press into that pain, figure out the solution to the problem, which brings me to my other thought, Stacey, I message you on is the power of community is they were able to work through that thought and through that pain in community. 63 00:06:38,950.99773244 --> 00:06:39,930.99673244 So there you go. 64 00:06:39,930.99673244 --> 00:06:42,190.99773244 Y'all pain retreats communities. 65 00:06:42,650.99773244 --> 00:06:43,350.99773244 It's all there. 66 00:06:43,370.99773244 --> 00:06:43,760.99773244 Go ahead. 67 00:06:43,760.99773244 --> 00:06:44,160.99773244 Stacey. 68 00:06:44,160.99773244 --> 00:06:48,10.99773244 What's your thoughts on all that? Yeah, well, I was wondering how you're going to tie it all together. 69 00:06:48,20.99773244 --> 00:06:50,380.99773244 So now I'm seeing the bigger picture here. 70 00:06:50,550.99773244 --> 00:06:52,360.99773244 I never know until it just happens. 71 00:06:52,805.99773244 --> 00:07:03,215.99773244 Yeah, it's funny when you said about the retreat being a battle that you're withdrawing from because, like, that's not what comes to mind at all to me. 72 00:07:03,455.99773244 --> 00:07:07,725.99773244 And it's so funny how, like, we have the different personalities and think differently on that. 73 00:07:07,765.99773244 --> 00:07:13,15.99773244 So I was like, wait a second, why do I think something totally different? So I literally looked up the definition. 74 00:07:13,255.99773244 --> 00:07:19,115.99773244 And like, what I think of a retreat is as a quiet or secluded place in which one can rest and relax. 75 00:07:19,605.99773244 --> 00:07:22,955.99773244 And that's like what I envisioned for our retreat. 76 00:07:23,535.99773244 --> 00:07:30,215.99673244 And it's funny too, because another definition is actually a period of seclusion for the purposes of prayer and meditation. 77 00:07:30,715.99773244 --> 00:07:38,45.99773244 So it's like, I feel like that's what the retreat is going to encompass, where like you said, you have that community and the connection. 78 00:07:39,425.99773244 --> 00:07:51,335.99773244 Like last year when we did it, it just builds what I think someone says this, maybe Russell Brunson or no, I think it's Napoleon Hill where it's like you create a third mind. 79 00:07:51,835.99773244 --> 00:07:55,445.99773244 Do you remember that, Gar? I know you're good at quoting stuff like that. 80 00:07:55,446.09773244 --> 00:08:03,865.99873244 Yeah, yeah, yeah, when you come together and you put your minds together in a mastermind, you're literally, it's like it creates, it creates a third mind. 81 00:08:03,865.99873244 --> 00:08:05,245.99873244 You tap into another realm. 82 00:08:05,695.99873244 --> 00:08:08,125.99973244 You, you literally are tapping into. 83 00:08:08,725.99973244 --> 00:08:12,685.99973244 That power of creativity, the power of community, the power of just being together. 84 00:08:12,685.99973244 --> 00:08:15,335.99973244 So it is so, so powerful. 85 00:08:15,565.99973244 --> 00:08:25,275.99873244 And that's interesting that you got those definitions, huh? Cause when I thought of retreat, like I love retreats, but as I was talking about, I thought of like how an army retreats from another. 86 00:08:25,715.99973244 --> 00:08:28,445.99973244 Because that does happen so interesting. 87 00:08:29,405.99973244 --> 00:08:33,205.99973244 So yeah, very very powerful We should be going to retreats. 88 00:08:33,205.99973244 --> 00:08:34,655.99973244 We should be going to masterminds. 89 00:08:35,5.99973244 --> 00:08:37,615.99973244 I was telling this franchisee of ours earlier. 90 00:08:37,615.99973244 --> 00:08:55,756.10073244 I said Stacy and I are going to a retreat in vegas next month stacy and I and our spouses i'm going to two retreats next month and we're going to another one in pennsylvania So stay tuned In March, I'm going to a John Maxwell retreat in Orlando, like a retreats, masterminds. 91 00:08:56,286.10073244 --> 00:09:02,396.09973244 It's, there's just, it kind of makes me think actually right of, of church to bring it to a spiritual sense. 92 00:09:02,776.10073244 --> 00:09:15,26.10073244 And Hebrews 10 25 tells us, do not forsake the gathering of ourselves together as some have grown accustomed to, but it says, but actually do it even more so as we see the day approaching. 93 00:09:15,656.10073244 --> 00:09:21,806.10073244 So in a spiritual sense, it's like, Hey, as believers, it's like, we need to get together more and more and more and more in fellowship. 94 00:09:22,76.10073244 --> 00:09:28,726.10073244 And the same in business as we grow deeper in business, as we grow in our entrepreneurship, we should be getting together more. 95 00:09:28,726.10073244 --> 00:09:33,416.09973244 So we do these, you know, Thursday night chats and, and we do the retreats on these different things. 96 00:09:33,436.10073244 --> 00:09:35,376.10073244 So awesome. 97 00:09:35,516.10073244 --> 00:09:38,1.10073244 Stacy, any concluding thoughts on that? Yeah. 98 00:09:38,51.10073244 --> 00:09:49,556.10073244 It makes me think of when we went to a masterminds, It was a few weeks ago, I think, or maybe even last month, where just being there in the room, you get so many ideas. 99 00:09:49,596.10073244 --> 00:09:55,266.10073244 And I mean, we, we walked away with notes and pages of ideas that we wanted to implement. 100 00:09:55,586.09973244 --> 00:09:58,76.10073244 So that's what I'm really looking forward to. 101 00:09:58,636.09973244 --> 00:10:08,726.10073244 The retreat coming up this weekend is just everyone being in the room and feeling that, you know, power of everyone together and everyone's ideas and excitement. 102 00:10:08,756.10073244 --> 00:10:09,636.10073244 So I'm really excited for it. 103 00:10:10,991.10073244 --> 00:10:13,791.10073244 Yeah, I actually have on a post it right here, Stacey. 104 00:10:13,791.10073244 --> 00:10:17,571.10073244 I wrote this down from that retreat that we went to, from that mastermind group. 105 00:10:18,261.10073244 --> 00:10:25,61.09973244 One of the biggest things that I walked away, as we were all sitting there whiteboarding and brainstorming, was we came up with this sentence. 106 00:10:25,301.09973244 --> 00:10:45,721.10073244 Forward movement brings clarity, right? And, and so that's, that's, that's The statement in the natural sense and then when I think about it like in the spiritual It's like faith is being certain of what we hope for and sure of what we do not see So as we walk together forward in anticipation Just that movement in itself. 107 00:10:45,721.10073244 --> 00:10:49,701.10073244 It brings clarity as we take steps forward and a lot of times. 108 00:10:49,731.09973244 --> 00:10:56,576.10073244 Why do we not take steps? forward the whole theme of our Retreat this year It's faith over fear. 109 00:10:56,576.10073244 --> 00:11:06,936.09973244 We don't take steps forward because of the fear of the unknown, the fear of how it could end up, the fear of the outcome, but as we learn forward movement brings clarity. 110 00:11:07,246.09973244 --> 00:11:15,656.10073244 So even if we make some forward movement and we didn't make the right move, well, we just gained some clarity on the move not to make next time. 111 00:11:16,226.10073244 --> 00:11:21,856.10073244 So clarity has been obtained By taking that forward movement, so we have to do that. 112 00:11:22,16.10073244 --> 00:11:26,326.10073244 So, all right for everybody That's just clicking in to the fireside chat. 113 00:11:26,616.09973244 --> 00:11:44,231.10073244 We stacy and I were recording our live rv rental secrets podcast So we're going to call that a wrap for the podcast And now we're going to sign off and we're going to go back into our fireside chats Where we're going to talk about these thoughts some more And i'll be honest with you guys. 114 00:11:44,231.10073244 --> 00:11:46,751.10073244 I had a hidden agenda the reason why we did this tonight. 115 00:11:46,751.10073244 --> 00:12:03,601.09973244 I'm like Stacy let's do this podcast Like live and then we'll say hey now we're going into our secret room where we're gonna mastermind with all of our franchisees And then everybody listening the podcast is gonna be like super jealous that you didn't get to come into this room with us And hear all the brilliance that's about to happen. 116 00:12:03,911.10073244 --> 00:12:04,791.09973244 They're like, that's it. 117 00:12:04,791.09973244 --> 00:12:08,141.10073244 I need to know about the fireside franchise I i'm signing up for the webinar. 118 00:12:08,141.10073244 --> 00:12:08,941.10073244 I gotta figure this out. 119 00:12:08,941.10073244 --> 00:12:12,516.00073244 So there it is y'all There's my hidden agenda why we did that All right.

And I said to her, Ooh, it sounds like y'all are in a painful situation. 28 00:02:33,855.99773242 --> 00:02:43,195.99673242 And I love painful situations, because painful situations, and Sam's shaking his head no, painful situations cause us to take action. 29 00:02:43,965.99773242 --> 00:02:49,105.99773242 And so now, What has to happen is they need to get some drivers lined up. 30 00:02:50,145.99773242 --> 00:02:52,635.99773242 Pain causes pain is the ultimate motivator. 31 00:02:52,665.99773242 --> 00:02:56,975.99773242 Tony Robbins says we either move to avoid pain. 32 00:02:57,555.99773242 --> 00:03:00,55.99773242 We move to avoid pain first of all. 33 00:03:00,55.99773242 --> 00:03:02,215.99773242 And then second of all, we move towards pleasure. 34 00:03:02,215.99773242 --> 00:03:05,225.99673242 So I was able to coach them through that and encourage them. 35 00:03:05,235.99673242 --> 00:03:10,155.99773242 Oh, no, you guys are going to be at the retreat and you're going to have all your drivers and everything lined up. 36 00:03:10,155.99773242 --> 00:03:15,795.99773242 So Stacy, any thoughts on that? You ever had any pain that pushed you towards your purpose? Yeah. 37 00:03:16,500.99773242 --> 00:03:28,690.99773242 Yeah, I actually think of an example from one of our other franchisees, where he said he had an event scheduled a lot of reservations. 38 00:03:29,50.99673242 --> 00:03:33,500.99673242 And then one of his consignment owners pulled out at the last minute. 39 00:03:34,450.99673242 --> 00:03:43,880.99773242 So he already had that reservation, everything else was booked, and he had that pain of having to fill that reservation so he needed to find campers. 40 00:03:44,345.99773242 --> 00:03:52,155.99773242 So that caused him to take action of reaching out to a bunch of RV owners to try to get them to sign up for our RV rental management program. 41 00:03:52,675.99773242 --> 00:03:54,635.99773242 So I thought that was a good example. 42 00:03:55,705.99773242 --> 00:03:58,495.99673242 Yes, see pain is the ultimate motivator. 43 00:03:59,235.99773242 --> 00:04:07,945.99773242 Unfortunately, as humans, we have to wait until it's so painful to, to stay in the current situation that we move towards a little bit of pleasure. 44 00:04:08,395.99773242 --> 00:04:09,295.99773242 And that's how it works. 45 00:04:09,605.99773242 --> 00:04:14,445.99773242 You know, and that kind of brings me to my next point about retreats. 46 00:04:15,385.99773242 --> 00:04:18,335.99773242 And it makes me think of even just the word retreat. 47 00:04:18,345.99773242 --> 00:04:21,965.99873242 When you think of the word retreat, you think a battle. 48 00:04:22,305.99873242 --> 00:04:28,715.99873242 Right, and you're retreating from your opposition, which in that sense, a retreat is really not a good thing. 49 00:04:28,715.99873242 --> 00:04:30,295.99873242 You're like, man, we're getting our tails whooped. 50 00:04:30,305.99873242 --> 00:04:33,635.99873242 We need to go this way to get a little bit of a break. 51 00:04:34,125.99873242 --> 00:05:12,595.99773242 But really at a retreat, what happens in this sense, Like a spiritual retreat a business retreat Our retreat is really going to be both stacy and I made an agreement a little bit earlier earlier She's going to handle the natural i'm going to take care of the spiritual We're going to have a retreat but really why are we retreating? We're retreating so that we can we can spend some time together so we can get built up so that we can get encouraged so that we can step out of the day to day and mastermind and, and hear what each other is doing in our businesses so we can take that back to go back into battle. 52 00:05:12,595.99773242 --> 00:05:17,515.99773242 So that franchisee that I was telling you about, she's like, well, what do you think ours is important that he's there. 53 00:05:18,50.99773244 --> 00:05:26,720.99773244 Or do you think that's okay? Am I wrong that I'm upset that he was going to leave to deliver campers? Do you think it's important that he's there? And I said, yeah, it's very important that he's there. 54 00:05:26,721.09773244 --> 00:05:38,830.99773244 I mean, that is exactly the place that he needs to be, which leads me to another one of my favorite quotes by one of my mentors, Myron Golden, disruption always follows intention. 55 00:05:39,430.99773244 --> 00:05:51,750.99773244 So bring the spiritual into this natural now it's no coincidence that they're getting ready to retreat here in a couple days and get built up to go back and build their business. 56 00:05:52,150.99673244 --> 00:06:01,250.99773244 Then a bunch of rentals just came in and presented them with a big problem that presented them with the opportunity to say, Oh yeah, well, we should probably maybe not go to the retreat. 57 00:06:01,250.99773244 --> 00:06:02,520.99773244 We've got to figure out all these rentals. 58 00:06:02,920.99773244 --> 00:06:03,400.99773244 No. 59 00:06:04,615.99773244 --> 00:06:06,245.99773244 That's not the right solution. 60 00:06:06,525.99773244 --> 00:06:08,685.99773244 Disruption always follows intention. 61 00:06:09,75.99773244 --> 00:06:19,105.99773244 So praise God they were able to make the right choice and choose not to retreat from the retreat and stay working in the business. 62 00:06:19,135.99773244 --> 00:06:38,30.99673244 They were able to Press into that pain, figure out the solution to the problem, which brings me to my other thought, Stacey, I message you on is the power of community is they were able to work through that thought and through that pain in community. 63 00:06:38,950.99773244 --> 00:06:39,930.99673244 So there you go. 64 00:06:39,930.99673244 --> 00:06:42,190.99773244 Y'all pain retreats communities. 65 00:06:42,650.99773244 --> 00:06:43,350.99773244 It's all there. 66 00:06:43,370.99773244 --> 00:06:43,760.99773244 Go ahead. 67 00:06:43,760.99773244 --> 00:06:44,160.99773244 Stacey. 68 00:06:44,160.99773244 --> 00:06:48,10.99773244 What's your thoughts on all that? Yeah, well, I was wondering how you're going to tie it all together. 69 00:06:48,20.99773244 --> 00:06:50,380.99773244 So now I'm seeing the bigger picture here. 70 00:06:50,550.99773244 --> 00:06:52,360.99773244 I never know until it just happens. 71 00:06:52,805.99773244 --> 00:07:03,215.99773244 Yeah, it's funny when you said about the retreat being a battle that you're withdrawing from because, like, that's not what comes to mind at all to me. 72 00:07:03,455.99773244 --> 00:07:07,725.99773244 And it's so funny how, like, we have the different personalities and think differently on that. 73 00:07:07,765.99773244 --> 00:07:13,15.99773244 So I was like, wait a second, why do I think something totally different? So I literally looked up the definition. 74 00:07:13,255.99773244 --> 00:07:19,115.99773244 And like, what I think of a retreat is as a quiet or secluded place in which one can rest and relax. 75 00:07:19,605.99773244 --> 00:07:22,955.99773244 And that's like what I envisioned for our retreat. 76 00:07:23,535.99773244 --> 00:07:30,215.99673244 And it's funny too, because another definition is actually a period of seclusion for the purposes of prayer and meditation. 77 00:07:30,715.99773244 --> 00:07:38,45.99773244 So it's like, I feel like that's what the retreat is going to encompass, where like you said, you have that community and the connection. 78 00:07:39,425.99773244 --> 00:07:51,335.99773244 Like last year when we did it, it just builds what I think someone says this, maybe Russell Brunson or no, I think it's Napoleon Hill where it's like you create a third mind. 79 00:07:51,835.99773244 --> 00:07:55,445.99773244 Do you remember that, Gar? I know you're good at quoting stuff like that. 80 00:07:55,446.09773244 --> 00:08:03,865.99873244 Yeah, yeah, yeah, when you come together and you put your minds together in a mastermind, you're literally, it's like it creates, it creates a third mind. 81 00:08:03,865.99873244 --> 00:08:05,245.99873244 You tap into another realm. 82 00:08:05,695.99873244 --> 00:08:08,125.99973244 You, you literally are tapping into. 83 00:08:08,725.99973244 --> 00:08:12,685.99973244 That power of creativity, the power of community, the power of just being together. 84 00:08:12,685.99973244 --> 00:08:15,335.99973244 So it is so, so powerful. 85 00:08:15,565.99973244 --> 00:08:25,275.99873244 And that's interesting that you got those definitions, huh? Cause when I thought of retreat, like I love retreats, but as I was talking about, I thought of like how an army retreats from another. 86 00:08:25,715.99973244 --> 00:08:28,445.99973244 Because that does happen so interesting. 87 00:08:29,405.99973244 --> 00:08:33,205.99973244 So yeah, very very powerful We should be going to retreats. 88 00:08:33,205.99973244 --> 00:08:34,655.99973244 We should be going to masterminds. 89 00:08:35,5.99973244 --> 00:08:37,615.99973244 I was telling this franchisee of ours earlier. 90 00:08:37,615.99973244 --> 00:08:55,756.10073244 I said Stacy and I are going to a retreat in vegas next month stacy and I and our spouses i'm going to two retreats next month and we're going to another one in pennsylvania So stay tuned In March, I'm going to a John Maxwell retreat in Orlando, like a retreats, masterminds. 91 00:08:56,286.10073244 --> 00:09:02,396.09973244 It's, there's just, it kind of makes me think actually right of, of church to bring it to a spiritual sense. 92 00:09:02,776.10073244 --> 00:09:15,26.10073244 And Hebrews 10 25 tells us, do not forsake the gathering of ourselves together as some have grown accustomed to, but it says, but actually do it even more so as we see the day approaching. 93 00:09:15,656.10073244 --> 00:09:21,806.10073244 So in a spiritual sense, it's like, Hey, as believers, it's like, we need to get together more and more and more and more in fellowship. 94 00:09:22,76.10073244 --> 00:09:28,726.10073244 And the same in business as we grow deeper in business, as we grow in our entrepreneurship, we should be getting together more. 95 00:09:28,726.10073244 --> 00:09:33,416.09973244 So we do these, you know, Thursday night chats and, and we do the retreats on these different things. 96 00:09:33,436.10073244 --> 00:09:35,376.10073244 So awesome. 97 00:09:35,516.10073244 --> 00:09:38,1.10073244 Stacy, any concluding thoughts on that? Yeah. 98 00:09:38,51.10073244 --> 00:09:49,556.10073244 It makes me think of when we went to a masterminds, It was a few weeks ago, I think, or maybe even last month, where just being there in the room, you get so many ideas. 99 00:09:49,596.10073244 --> 00:09:55,266.10073244 And I mean, we, we walked away with notes and pages of ideas that we wanted to implement. 100 00:09:55,586.09973244 --> 00:09:58,76.10073244 So that's what I'm really looking forward to. 101 00:09:58,636.09973244 --> 00:10:08,726.10073244 The retreat coming up this weekend is just everyone being in the room and feeling that, you know, power of everyone together and everyone's ideas and excitement. 102 00:10:08,756.10073244 --> 00:10:09,636.10073244 So I'm really excited for it. 103 00:10:10,991.10073244 --> 00:10:13,791.10073244 Yeah, I actually have on a post it right here, Stacey. 104 00:10:13,791.10073244 --> 00:10:17,571.10073244 I wrote this down from that retreat that we went to, from that mastermind group. 105 00:10:18,261.10073244 --> 00:10:25,61.09973244 One of the biggest things that I walked away, as we were all sitting there whiteboarding and brainstorming, was we came up with this sentence. 106 00:10:25,301.09973244 --> 00:10:45,721.10073244 Forward movement brings clarity, right? And, and so that's, that's, that's The statement in the natural sense and then when I think about it like in the spiritual It's like faith is being certain of what we hope for and sure of what we do not see So as we walk together forward in anticipation Just that movement in itself. 107 00:10:45,721.10073244 --> 00:10:49,701.10073244 It brings clarity as we take steps forward and a lot of times. 108 00:10:49,731.09973244 --> 00:10:56,576.10073244 Why do we not take steps? forward the whole theme of our Retreat this year It's faith over fear. 109 00:10:56,576.10073244 --> 00:11:06,936.09973244 We don't take steps forward because of the fear of the unknown, the fear of how it could end up, the fear of the outcome, but as we learn forward movement brings clarity. 110 00:11:07,246.09973244 --> 00:11:15,656.10073244 So even if we make some forward movement and we didn't make the right move, well, we just gained some clarity on the move not to make next time. 111 00:11:16,226.10073244 --> 00:11:21,856.10073244 So clarity has been obtained By taking that forward movement, so we have to do that. 112 00:11:22,16.10073244 --> 00:11:26,326.10073244 So, all right for everybody That's just clicking in to the fireside chat. 113 00:11:26,616.09973244 --> 00:11:44,231.10073244 We stacy and I were recording our live rv rental secrets podcast So we're going to call that a wrap for the podcast And now we're going to sign off and we're going to go back into our fireside chats Where we're going to talk about these thoughts some more And i'll be honest with you guys. 114 00:11:44,231.10073244 --> 00:11:46,751.10073244 I had a hidden agenda the reason why we did this tonight. 115 00:11:46,751.10073244 --> 00:12:03,601.09973244 I'm like Stacy let's do this podcast Like live and then we'll say hey now we're going into our secret room where we're gonna mastermind with all of our franchisees And then everybody listening the podcast is gonna be like super jealous that you didn't get to come into this room with us And hear all the brilliance that's about to happen. 116 00:12:03,911.10073244 --> 00:12:04,791.09973244 They're like, that's it. 117 00:12:04,791.09973244 --> 00:12:08,141.10073244 I need to know about the fireside franchise I i'm signing up for the webinar. 118 00:12:08,141.10073244 --> 00:12:08,941.10073244 I gotta figure this out. 119 00:12:08,941.10073244 --> 00:12:12,516.00073244 So there it is y'all There's my hidden agenda why we did that All right.
