I just wanted to give everyone a shout-out about our first meeting of our Gathering 4 Guys.<\/strong><\/p>\n It was like Christmas for me.\u00a0 I kept waking up every hour and finally I got up around 4:00 to get prepared to get to The Factory in Franklin.\u00a0 What a great environment for a bunch of guys early in the morning!\u00a0 We set up chairs and slowly people started coming in.\u00a0 And by the time we started, every chair was full and there were even people sitting around on the benches.<\/p>\n Our Scripture for the day was out of Proverbs which basically says that \u201cmany men boast of faithfulness, but a faithful man who can find?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n We talked about defining success<\/strong>, writing it down so we understand, living a life that is connected to why we\u2019re here and that has everything to do with our relationships.<\/p>\n One thing I am learning about men is that men make surface friendships almost immediately.\u00a0 But going beyond that to deep, meaningful relationships that inspire, motivate, and take us to the next level is a challenge.<\/p>\n I asked guys to get a business card and carry it with them, get an electronic mode of having contacts, people\u2019s names, and using them.\u00a0 I asked people to get an electronic version of the Bible.\u00a0 I use U Version.\u00a0 And begin living with a sense of the people around you and the needs that are there.<\/p>\n I also talked a little bit about greatness today; that greatness can only be achieved when you start helping other people achieve greatness. <\/strong>Greatness is not what we receive, but what we have that\u2019s worth giving away; growing a great life and then using it as leverage to help others no matter where they are in life.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a great start to a 6-week journey and I am loving it.<\/p>\n the question I have for you is, \u201cWho are your go-to guys, your BOBs (Band of Bothers) who you do life with, who inspire you, who make you want to be a better man, who give you energy, who you can hang with but who also help you go to the next level?\u201d\u00a0 Live was not meant to be lived alone, that\u2019s why you should always live connected.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Disconnected, we\u2019re all easy prey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just wanted to give everyone a shout-out about our first meeting of our Gathering 4 Guys.
