Grow. Into. Success. Today
Personal Growth Into Success
Most people don’t fail because they lack effort or desire. They struggle because life becomes fragmented. Big dreams without direction, discipline without joy, success without peace.
The Seventh Hand Principle is a simple, holistic framework designed to help you grow in every dimension of life. It brings faith, leadership, daily practice, character, and purpose into alignment, so growth becomes sustainable, meaningful, and lived from the inside out.
Seventh Hand Principle
H – Have a God size Dream
A – Act in small Steps
N – Nurture Daily Practices
D – Develop in all Dimensions of your life
O – Okay with Big Tensions
F – Fortify your Character
GOD – Learn to trust Him
Hand 1
Dream God size Dreams
Do you know your purpose, calling, vision, dreams, goals? Do you know the difference between them? The 1st Step of discovery is knowing the difference and slowly seeing your dreams come alive.
I help you discover your God size Dreams by first learning what it is not. We will work through SEVEN STEPS OF DISCERNMENT. The journey of discovery is supposed to be fun and adventurous. We take out the stress and pressure of not knowing. Learn about Discernment
Hand 2
Take small Steps towards it
It is not so much the knowing which steps to take daily but HOW to take those steps that will lead to success in your God size Dreams. You need a compass, you need to know your values, your How to in life?
Together we will establish your SEVEN LIFE PRINCIPLES or your core values. These Seven Principles will govern all your actions and decisions.
Hand 3
Nurture Daily Practices
Daily COFFEE is a game changer, and so is PLAN and FUN. Whatever the God size Dreams and Values are it will become a reality if you learn the Dailey Practices. Normally disciplines are hard and can become life draining but if done right it could be fun and energizing and life-giving.
Every Dream will have different daily task and assignment necessary to achieve those dreams, but we will learn the SEVEN DAILY PRACTICES that will lead you to success no matter how big those dreams are.
Hand 4
Develop in all Dimensions of your life
Let’s figure out all the hats on your head and all the dimensions of your life. You are more than work and money, you are more than a body and brains, we are more. Our whole being is important to have lasting success, failure in one or two life dimensions can steal the joy out of the success we achieved in other dimensions.
Together we will decide on our SEVEN DIMENSIONS and set SMART goals on each of them that will lead to wholistic success and sustainability.
Hand 5
Okay with Big Tensions
Life is not as easy as most motivational speakers are making it out to be, life is not about one secret of success, life is not about only one side of the coin. Many times the one side or one size fits all doesn’t work for you and then you become stuck. We will live free and unstuck and be okay with the difficult tensions of life. There is a time to speak and a time to be quiet, a time to keep going and a time to quit. The tension of knowing when to do what.
Together we will learn to be okay with not being okay and the SEVEN LAWS OF BEING OKAY. Living in the tensions of the daily hard questions is key to success and being okay with making mistakes.
Hand 6
Fortify your character
Never skip LEG Day is a saying under serious body builders. Don’t just work on your arms, shoulders and abbs. If you don’t have legs to stand on you are top heavy and will fall easy. Character is like foundations of a house or an Highrise building, nobody sees it but if it was not properly built everyone will see the collapse and breakdown.
We will work through the MODERN DAY SEVEN DEADLY SINS and build in accountability to help us stand the test of time and our success will go on to the next generation.
Hand 7
GOD – Learn to TRUST Him
In God we Trust is an American slogan, some mean it, and some don’t and some don’t know what it means. Learn what is means to TRUST in God but not to Blame God or use God as an excuse. Learn to work with God and for God and through God in all things.
Together we will learn the SEVEN RHYTHMS OF GRACE that will lead an guide us to obedience and inner peace and trust in God.
