Last night here in Fredericksburg was gorgeous as the sun started to set.

Devon and I were walking around the vineyards here at the resort trying to find the perfect view of the sunset.

Unfortunately because of all the tall trees, we couldn’t get a good view. So we walked into our two-story cabin and went up to the balcony.

No luck – wrong side of the house.

“I have an idea”, I said. “Let’s climb up on the roof.”

So we grabbed a couple pillows, and from the balcony climbed on top of the roof to enjoy a breathtakingly beautiful sunset.

It was magical.

As we sat soaking in the beauty of God’s creation, I wondered…

How many other people that have stayed in this cabin have missed the incredible sunset because they weren’t willing to simply climb up on the roof?

If I had to guess, very few (if any) have enjoyed the sunset the way Devon and I were able to.

Not because they couldn’t.

Only because they weren’t willing to simply do something different.

Imagine with me for a moment…

You just finished presenting your opportunity to a great prospect…

You feel excited and nervous at the same time wondering what they’re going to say.

You courageously ask…

“Are you ready to get started?”

“I would love to…” says your prospect with excitement.

“I know a ton of people who will join me with this. We are going to CRUSH this together. The only thing is, right now I don’t have the money to join… (insert story about losing their job, unexpected bills, etc)”

Your heart goes out to them as they share their situation.

“If you can just pay my way in, I’m positive I can sponsor 10 people in the next couple weeks. Can you help me out?”

Because you have a big heart, and you’re thinking about your business finally starting to grow with the 10 people they’re going to sponsor, everything in you wants to say yes and pay their way in.

Devon and I were flying back to Texas the other day playing a game on the seat monitor called 2048.

It’s a puzzle game where you match number blocks together starting at 2 and going all the way up to 2048.

I had a score of 19,000 compared to Devon’s 4,000 or so.

Since I had played the game before I gave Devon two sentences of coaching for her next game. “Keep the large numbers at the bottom. The goal is to never have to swipe up.”

That tiny piece of advice allowed her to triple her score on the very next game.
