Welcome everyone to the 45th episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am back with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is FAITH to REST #truthbetold

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Just as our physical eyesight is the sense that gives us evidence of the material world, faith is the “sense” that gives us evidence of the invisible, spiritual world. Faith has its reasons. The Bible doesn’t recommend a “blind leap” of faith. But the reasons can’t be measured in a laboratory; they have to be understood spiritually. Faith extends beyond what we learn from our senses, and the author is saying that it has its reasons. Its tests are not those of the senses, which yield uncertainty. Physical eyesight produces a conviction or evidence of visible things; faith is the organ that enables people to see the invisible order.

Of things hoped for… of things not seen: If you have the substance before you or if you can see it, there is no use for faith. Faith is needed for what we can’t see and can’t touch. Faith does not contradict reason, though it may go beyond reason. One may objectively prove the Bible is the most unique book ever published and has impacted society more than any other book. But only faith can prove that the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore, this is a belief beyond reason but not in contradiction to reason or against reason. Faith is the substance… the evidence: Faith is not a bare belief or intellectual understanding. It is a willingness to trust in, to rely on, and to cling to.

Sarah’s faith was not perfect. She first laughed in unbelief (Genesis 18:9-15) and then she learned to laugh in faith (Genesis 21:6). Because she judged Him faithful who had promised: Faith comes down to judging that God is faithful and able to keep His promises.

Truly walking by faith produces something beautiful in us: Rest.

"Rest and trust in the Lord" means to relinquish control and anxieties, fully relying on God's plan and provision, finding peace and comfort in knowing that He is in charge, essentially letting go of worry and surrendering to His will; this concept is often referenced in the Bible, particularly in Psalm 37:7 which says, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him"

Welcome everyone to the 44th episode of Professor P's Podcast. This week I am bringing you another entrepreneurial tip. The topic for this show is KNOW your NUMBERS! #entrepreneurialtip

Managing your money and knowing your numbers are instrumental in the control and success of your business. You will need to ensure you take great care of your financial matters. It is wise to bring in help with your financial matters. Consider hiring a certified public accountant (CPA) or bookkeeper, or use an online service. A CPA will typically cost more than online services but can normally offer more tailored services for your specific business needs. A bookkeeper can provide basic day-to-day functions at a lower cost but won’t possess the formal accounting education of a CPA.

Learning how to manage your money is a must. If you don’t know how to manage your money, then you surely will not know how to manage a business’s money. Poor financial planning and managing of funds is one of the main reasons why businesses fail.

Did you know the wealthy have a language all their own? Well, they do. They understand the true meaning of assets and liabilities. They speak stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and securities. They pay attention to the flow of money not only in our country but the world. Therefore, if you are going to go from startup to success, you will need to understand the language of the wealthy.

There are a few financial reports I want you to become familiar with: the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. In the back of the book, I have given charts for you to see what each one of them looks like. The income statement is a financial report that measures the financial performance of your business on a monthly or annual basis. The income statement tells you just that: how much income (profit/loss). The balance sheet is a financial report that shows what the company owes and what it owns, including shareholders’ stake.

The balance sheet has a particular formula which, again, must be balanced. This is the fundamental accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity. The balance sheet is going to show you the big picture, help you measure the value of your business, and can serve as an early warning sign. The cash flow statement is a financial report that details the inflows and outflows of cash for a company over a set period of time. You always want to be aware of your cash flow. Cash is king. I need you all to take a managerial accounting class or a basic accounting class. You can even search on YouTube for classes that can teach you the basics.

I make all my students track their money. This is one of the best ways to figure out what is really going on with your finances. The longer you can track, the better. I have my students’ track for two weeks. However, I would say that if you can track for a month up to three months, you will have some good data. You must track it to the penny. Always keep a little book with you and don’t miss one cent. Seriously, to the penny. Once you have tracked your money, you will then need to reflect and have a come-to-Jesus moment with yourself. Now, if you are already savvy and smart with your money, that’s great; I would still ask you to see how you could level up and become even wiser. You are all my students, so now you have the homework to track your money and face the music!

Welcome everyone to the 43rd episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am back with a dosage of Elixir, the energic power. The topic for this show is QUESTION your CONDITIONING #truthbetold

The definition of the condition is:

• to have a significant influence on or determine (the manner or outcome of something)
• train or accustom (someone or something) to behave in a certain way or to accept certain circumstances.

I am asking you all to question your conditioning—the things you were shaped by. In my ethics class, we discuss theories of how we were born. There is the theory we were born as a blank slate. There is a theory we were born with prior knowledge. There is a theory that we were born good and evil. I take the example of the blank slate and demonstrate how as we grow from birth we begin to be layered with jackets. The conditioning of our grandparents, our parents, our education, our environment, our society, and so on. Before you know it I am covered and weighted, which is how we look with the layers of conditioning that limit us in our daily lives.

It takes work to pull layers of conditioning off, but it is all worth it. It is time to stop living in a legacy of conditioning and start living in one of empowerment! This is your season to live your life. It is ok to keep the good things. Faith and character are good legacies to pass down. If you need help sorting through the good conditioning versus the bad and limiting. You can reach out to me. If you need someone to listen to you, to hold space. I am here for you. Your homework is to sit and begin to question your conditions. Think about it and begin to make a plan to break free.

“To change beliefs or perceptions about yourself or your life, you must make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of energy is greater than the hardwired programs in your brain – and the emotions conditioned in your body”. – Dr. Joe Dispenza
