episode 233: Stop it! You know what to do. - 233
In this episode, Ryan chats with returning guest Melissa Hughes about how as entrepreneurs we need to stop making excuses or even stop taking in so much information and get to work doing what we know we're supposed to do.
Copy of Recent Email from Melissa in which she shares this message:
I'm back from Florida and home with my family! How has your week been? I wanted to share this story with you from the trip because it was a lightbulb moment for me and something I think will help you wherever you're at in your business today.
I was all set to speak on "Finding Your Podcasting Niche" at a conference in Sarasota. The topic was clear, and my notes were ready, but God had other plans.
Does this ever happen to you? God changes up the plans on you?
The night before my talk, as I was finishing up some work, I felt God start impressing this phrase on my heart for the people in the room the next day.
It was this: "Stop it! You know what to do." I felt like the people attending my session were full of information but lacked action.
It hit me. Sticking to my planned presentation with more information would add to their confusion, and not lead to a breakthrough. Not because my message was confusing, but because having another "guru" telling you what you need to do when God's already given you the next step, would.
Sometimes we feel comfortable staying in "learning mode" thinking we're moving the needle forward when really we're procrastinating.
If you are finding yourself "stuck", I want to encourage you with this: stop it. You know what to do.
2 Peter 1:3 says that God has ALREADY GIVEN US everything we need for life and godliness. The challenge is we don't think it's enough. Just like the disciples telling Jesus to send the 5,000 people home when the little boy approached Jesus with his 5 loaves and 2 fish - they couldn't see the provision was right under their noses!
Whatever it is that God has put in front of you today - take action on it. Stop asking for more "confirmation" or attending another conference. Stop it. You know what to do. Maybe it's an idea. Maybe it's a very practical step of calling that person or sending that email. Whatever it is - trust God with what He's given you and give that! He is the multiplier of our lives, efforts, families, talents, gifts, and businesses!
