Recently I asked who you would like to hear on the podcast and so many of you asked to hear from past LifePlan attendees, so today is the day! Stephen Scoggins and April Browning are joining me on the podcast to talk about their LifePlan experiences.
They unpack what it means to go through a LifePlan, and give you the ins and outs of this phenomenal 2-day process.

Your life equals your root system.
Your life and your decision making process comes from your root system. In LifePlan, I spend time tying what’s happened in a persons life to their root system – family, influences, leadership, friends, etc. Whatever has happened in your past shapes the decisions you make today.

Easter is a time when we celebrate the fact that we have a risen savior. One who took on the world’s sin, received the world’s worst beating, died and rose again, all so we could have life everlasting if we so choose.
I’m not telling you anything that you don’t know, but sometimes the reminder causes us to reflect on how jacked up we are, while giving us just a glimpse of the unfathomable Love of God.
And while we have so many stories of God’s Love throughout the Bible, there’s one that helps us to understand that sometimes, God doesn’t tell us everything.
After Jesus rose from the grave, there was a time that He was with the disciples when He gave them this instruction (in CLo speak), I want you guys to hang out in Jerusalem and I’ll send a guy who’s going to tell you some things. (all things)
When they encounter the Holy Spirit, it was some kind of party. So here’s my question…

The lies that we’re told, the lies we tell ourselves, and the lies we believe hold us back.
When you’re told specific lies from people you love, like parents or family, those words hold you back from becoming something greater or believing in yourself or becoming an entrepreneur or fill in the blank.
Why do people we love tell us lies?

ailure is inevitable! You’re going to fail! And the great thing is, it’s absostinkinlutely ok!
In LifePlan, StratPlan, and coaching, the fear of failure is one of the biggest issues I face with so many clients. Whether it’s a team member or a leader, a large portion of our population is afraid of failing.
It’s not good enough for me to say it’s ok to fail, because those who are afraid have been taught that it’s NOT ok. They’ve been taught by parents, teachers, leaders, etc. that failure is unacceptable, and in may situation, punishable.
In StrengthsFinder 2.0, author Tom Rath talks about how most of US parents, when seeing their child’s report card of all A’s and one D, would totally focus on the D. Why?…

Do you ever feel discouraged by family or friends? I have. As I look over my life, there have been many times that someone close to me told me I couldn’t do something. There are enough things in life to challenge you, make sure you’ve got healthy boundaries with negative people.
Separate people in your life into two categories – those that are encouraging and those that are discouraging. Don’t share your dreams or goals or ideas with discouraging and negative people! They’ll just shoot you down.
Instead, surround your dreams and ideas with people that are naturally supportive…

Exercise. It’s an eight letter word for some of us… don’t quit reading and don’t skip today’s podcast!
During LifePlan, we always reach a point in the process where the attendee is working through what’s keeping them from being the strongest and best they can be. Almost every single time, the area of exercise is lacking. For most people, there was a period in their life where they were exercising regularly and they felt strong emotionally, physically and mentally.

Every time I do a Next-Level Life I spend several hours going over the major turns in each participants life.

Grace. It’s something every single one of us needs — and yet it’s something we often struggle to give. In this powerful episode, we talk about what happens when people fail, fall short, or make mistakes… and how leaders, families, and communities often respond by turning their backs instead of extending grace. If you lead
