Episode 289: Matt Phippen and an Overview of the 2024 RAGBRAI LI Route

In this teleclass recording, Leslie reveals:
How to enlist, recognize, and trust your gut instinct.
How to stake your claim, and why putting it in writing is critical.
How to do seemingly impossible things if you have the right perspective.
How to get the timing and direction right for your next step.
How take the right action with confidence.
How to get sight of your goal again if it vanishes out of view.
Leslie also explains why being good at ‘doing what she was told’ had become a handicap, and why her ‘genius’ was underdeveloped. Discover why ‘doing what winners do’ does NOT guarantee you’ll win, too. This program will help you understand and implement the important principles governing your ‘inner voice’ so you will more naturally be able to enlist it, recognize it for what it is, and trust it to take you where you want to go.

Rare Faith Podcast

#1: Trusting Your Instinct

A few years ago I had a troubling experience with one of my readers. It was almost unbelievable – as you’ll soon find out.

Through this experience, I learned a powerful lesson about “how to receive”.  So let's talk about the piece that sometimes gets overlooked: your ability to receive what you're asking for. 

This is a segment from the transformational 12-week Mindset Mastery Program - learn more at http://www.prosperthefamily.com

#2: How to Receive

With effective goal achievement, there comes a point where it's time to "let go", or "surrender", because if you try to force it, your persistence will backfire. This podcast is an excerpt from a personal coaching call with Leslie and a client, who graciously allowed this to be made public so that it can help others who have similar questions.

Leslie's client had seen God's hand in her life before, and acknowledged that He has ensured her needs have been met many times. But she worried:

What if this is the first time it doesn’t work out?
What if I’ve used up all the grace tickets?
What if I just keep busting myself up against the laws?
What if everything that matters to me falls apart?

Discover the answer to these questions and many more in this episode of the Rare Faith Podcast.

Show Notes:

The misunderstood principle of letting go or surrendering
Giving up - not to the enemy but to God
Examples of a pattern: JS in the grove ready to abandon himself to destruction, Peter using Rare Faith to walk on water but still needing a rescue, Alma snatched from burning.
There is a time and a place for giving up.
Surrendering doesn’t mean do nothing, it's letting go after you’ve tried everything and it didn’t work
I want to be led. I don’t want to impose my agenda. I want total faith.
Choosing rock bottom
Being clear on how you want to FEEL
What is your time frame to accomplish that? By NOW
Are you willing to RECEIVE? Snarky.
Beating myself up for my inability to receive
What if the thing you want is a few years down the road?
If I can be guaranteed that, then I can hang in there.
Labor - what kept me going was knowing that it WILL end. I can endure anything if I know it will end soon.
Get out of your own way. What does that even mean??
The struggles are not for nothing. It IS going to happen, no doubt
You and me hanging out in heaven saying, remember when? That was HARD! We will sit in a garden somewhere…
You found out it would take 15 years. How would you tackle today’s tasks?
With relief. 
If you don’t want to think about heaven, think about 15 years from now, reminiscing back.
Goals written in present tense, vs. goals in past tense
Restaurant story
Get comfortable with a longer term plan, if for no other reason than to keep you out of anxiety. If that’s all it’s for, it’s enough of a reason.
Why I love Dave Ramsey
Yes you can triple income in a short time, but it's important to also live by the law of the harvest and develop habits and accept the slower processes
Quick success? If they have not also established some long term habits, they will fall.
Hustle fatigue
Next goal: to know that you have sufficient
Time for your loved ones, time to serve.
When you feel anxiety: 
1) remember, you’re on the X year plan
2) don’t be afraid to find out exactly where you’re at, listen to Dave and come up with a plan
Why I love KLove

#16: How to Surrender (and why you'd want to)

Everyone is human - including the mentors you have looked to and listened to for advice and guidance. Listen to this powerful exploration of what it can mean to you when this happens, and what good can be gleaned from such a difficult experience.

Show Notes:


Mentoring relationships can last as long as one comment, or many many years.
There comes a point where the purpose of the mentoring relationship is fulfilled.
Most of the time the moving on process is gradual, and painless, other times it can be bitter.
How I felt about Bob Proctor before mentoring with him
Why the Jackrabbit Factor was born
What I wrote to Bob after we moved into our dream home and I became a best seller
So nervous, spilled his water when I gave him my book
Feeling awkward
Why we hired him
Feeling strange after an event I put on, felt like I had been hit by a truck
Sought Bob’s insight into what I was feeling
Never responded
Triggers, old fears
Found help and support from an ex-partner of Bob’s
Other factors contributed to my anger
How I feel when I am expecting
A mentor kicking you when you’re down
Turning every bad thing to our good
Stopped needing to get Bob’s approval or partnership
Recognizing when a relationship was toxic
Tables turned on me, showing me how Bob may have felt
What kind of energy do you show up with?
You don’t get what you want, you get what you are
Life responds differently when you have changed on the inside
Words are noise, vibrations never lie
Wrote a letter, but didn’t need a reply
His response - the first time he showed me his human side
A year later, his surprise birthday message
Common thread:

  1 - Aspire to become greater
  2 - Teacher appears
  3 - Emotional attachment
  4 - Learns all that was needed, but keeps wanting support
  5 - Relationship becomes strained
  6 - Conflict
  7 - Heals and moves on, discovers 
  8 - Becomes leader, gets to experience other side
  9 - Mutual respect established

You are responsible for you
Don’t defame
Not endorsing abuse
Look at everyone with compassion
Mentor failing by divine design, pushes us out of the tree so we can learn to fly
Sometimes the pain is what helps the separation become tolerable
Conflict means two points of view, often both valid
Sometimes it’s better to live in forgiveness than to constantly fight for justice trying to make things right,  when they probably already are as right as they need to be, and that those adjustments are internal that need to take place more than internal.
Not judging people for what they do because you don’t know why they do it

#17: When a Mentor Fails You (and why it's good)

We live in a society today where there are an unlimited number of ways to make money from home (pictured here is just one of those ways - this is my sister-in-law's Etsy shop, which is really thriving! Visit it at https://www.etsy.com/shop/RockStarPress) 

But no matter who you are, or what you do, if you're a mom working from home, you face some unique challenges.

Class Description:

Women, especially moms, tend to struggle in business. They get excited about a great idea, and then get hung up trying to figure out how to get their business off the ground. They struggle with all the information that’s out there and trying to figure out what works, and what is just hype. They struggle feeling like they need to have “permission” to invest in themselves and their dreams. They struggle with finding the time they need to pursue their dream because they are so busy taking care of everyone else.

Does any of this sound familiar?  Well, this is typical of women who feel pulled to make a difference and build a business.

Then, how have some women been able to build a successful, fulfilling business AND have the freedom to be with their families?

Carol Lamoreaux wondered the same thing. So she decided to interview women who have built their dream business and chat with them to find out their secrets. In this podcast you can listen in on her interview with me, and learn more about:

How to get things done.
How to keep the important things important.
How to be your authentic self and just go for it!
How to keep yourself on track.
And more...

Show notes:

What are some common mistakes women make in business?
When building a business, where do you spend most of your time? 
What are some of the biggest Productivity Wasters? 
What is your #1 Productivity Habit?
What is your Favorite tool in your business?
Strategies to stay on target?
How do you fit personal development in?
Advice for someone just getting started?
What am I doing now that I’m passionate about?

Seed of equal or greater benefit
The bigger your setback, the more fortunate you are
Handle negative experiences without emotion
Approach your hopeful plans with emotion
A successful person isn’t made as he sails his way to the top. A successful person is made in the moment of disaster when he chooses to think right anyway.
Laws of success 
Life said, "Alright Leslie, what are you going to do with THIS…”
Laws were suspended on my behalf, working for everyone but me.
List of setbacks
"Keep teaching, you do not make them true or false by how well you’re living them."
"In times of change, the learners will inherit the earth while the learned find themselves … to a world that no longer exists." Eric Hoffer
The only constant we can depend on is there will be change.
Failure is not an option, so that only leaves blame.
Bethany’s lips are blue
Home study course - http://www.prosperthefamily.com
Failed 4 times:
- to keep her safe
- heimlich
- hit head
- didn’t plug nose
No time to bemoan mistakes 
Shallow lesson - watch kids better around water
Deeper lesson - life is fragile. Family more tender with one another
Life lesson - delivered straight from God to teach me what I had been looking for: Failure is feedback.
Cut your losses, keep moving
Bemoaning mistakes. No time for that.
Japanese Proverb - Fall down 7 times get up 8.
Dog without front legs, owner brought food, pig stole his food. Learned how to walk.
Our setbacks can bring out our hidden talents and gifts 
What’s your handicap? What’s your weakness?
When life throws you something traumatic, you’ll discover new things about your capacity and potential. None are pointless.
It has a purpose. Look for the blessing it contains because it’s there.

Struggles that couples face, especially when one is an entrepreneur
What the original title was GOING to be (yikes!)
What the promise of the book is
What to do when relationships go sideways
What Relationship Capital is, and why Leslie gives so much away for free

#20: Portal to Genius Virtual Book Tour

This is Leslie Householder speaking at a retreat, to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taped informally at a lodge. (Includes kitchen noises and sounds of children.)

If you've ever needed the Lord to intervene and send help for a problem that was bigger than you, listen to this podcast. You've heard the promise, "Ask and ye shall receive." But do you ever think, "I'm asking, so why am I not receiving??" This episode addresses this question, and also discusses counterfeits, and using discernment and wisdom in using the principles appropriately.

#21: The Power of Your Thoughts (religious)

In this program, Leslie talks about three reasons we have setbacks, and what to do so that the hidden benefit contained in every adversity can be realized. 

This program was originally recorded for Hilton-Johnson's Global Teleclass Summit in 2009.

Class participant feedback: 

"Leslie is an absolute awesome teacher and motivational speaker! She is very knowledgable of the subject matter she teaches and is "real", a trait you don't often find in people once they reach her level of public recognition. She is humble and sometimes shares stories relating to her own struggles and weaknesses which connects her to her audience in ways many others are missing. She also unashamedly recognizes God for His role in in our success stories. I will continue to seek out, read and watch any material Leslie has to offer."

"The Class material was absolutely awesome. So much of what Leslie teaches is exactly what I need to hear at this time for my own personal growth. And I love how she is so genuine and honest about her own experiences and how she learned by them. Her material is so easy to understand and very well organized."
