This is a special surprise (bonus) episode. I told you last week that we would not have another one until after the first of the year, BUT, I wanted to bring you a short word of encouragement as you round out 2017.
I’m honored to have you with us. Let’s get started!
Feature Presentation:
Encouragement:
- Celebrate this year’s moments
- Take responsibility for yourself (Fess it and fix it)
- Resolve and Reconcile – ‘Let It Go’
- Check Your Head – Be ruthless with unbelief and negativity
- The Habit of Gratefulness – Be thankful (make a list)
- Do a relationship inventory
- Commit to personal growth (reading, habits, rituals, development of your leadership and influence)
- Decide … “What Do I Want?”
- Decide … “What am I willing to change to have it?”
- Open your heart and mind to the Holy Spirit’s leadership
As you finish out these last few days of the old year, I want to challenge you to take time to reflect, consider, and imagine.
Your best days are still ahead of you.
God has great plans for your life.
You are a leader and influencer; destined to make a massive impact in your world.
Believe It!

Christmas day is a special one, and for more than the gifts under the tree or what we exchange, or what our traditions are each year. Listen in to this special edition message and from all of us at Brianholmes.com to you – have a very, merry Christmas.

It’s Christmas week all over the world.
There is no better time than now to reflect, regroup, reset, and be renewed.
On this episode especially, I want us to consider the blessing of Christmas, what it really means, and look to a wonderful, hope-filled future.
It’s not about gifts, toys, vacations, or gadgets. Both Christmas and the future ahead are about the ultimate gift the world has ever been given.
Feature Presentation:
LUKE 2: This is a timeless story.
While the world has evolved and the story has become less of a focus in so many places, it is still the greatest story ever told. It was Jesus’ coming which provided us our opportunities.
It is imperative we consider the reason we can pursue our dreams, our hopes. It is important that we recognize the source from which all of our meaningful ideas and contributions originate.
Life has a way of consuming us; completely and totally overwhelming us and demanding our attention.
Each time I have taken the time to PAUSE, I am amazed at how much more of God’s creation I become aware of.
There is BEAUTY everywhere, but can you see it?
There are blessings abounding, but are you too busy to notice?
The Bible says “Be STILL and know that I Am God”
What would life be like if we made the PAUSE a part of our daily discipline?
My Christmas encouragement to you is …. PAUSE
No matter what 2017 has been like for you; know this …
- God’s plans for your life are sure
- You have a hope
- You have a future
- Your future is bigger and brighter than your past
- As difficult as things may have been or may still BE, you are blessed, capable, and worthy of realizing the tomorrows God has given you.

Feature Presentation:
THE ONE FACTOR THAT IS GUARANTEED TO 10X YOUR LIFE IS …
Having Strategic Relationships That Add Value and Safety
What Is A Mastermind?
- Mastermind groups offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your business and personal skills.
- A mastermind group helps you and your mastermind group members achieve success.
- Participants challenge each other to set powerful goals, and more importantly, to accomplish them.
- The group requires commitment, confidentiality, willingness to both give and receive advice and ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect and compassion.
- Mastermind group members act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates, and supportive colleagues.
- The concept of the “mastermind alliance” was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill in his timeless classic, “Think And Grow Rich,” though mastermind groups have been around since the beginning of time.
- Even Benjamin Franklin belonged to such a group, which he called a Junto.
What A Mastermind is NOT
- It’s not a class.
- It’s not group coaching.
- It’s not a networking group.
The Benefits of Belonging to a Mastermind Group
- Your mastermind partners give you feedback, help you brainstorm new possibilities.
- The mastermind provides accountability structures that keep you focused and on track.
- You create a community of supportive colleagues who brainstorm together to move the members to new heights.
- You’ll gain tremendous insights which improve your business and personal life.
- Your mastermind group is like having a objective board of directors, a success team, and a peer advisory group, all rolled into one.
The Strategic Influencers Mastermind
What are we looking for?
- You have a burning desire to elevate your life and leadership.
- You’re working full time on your business or are close to making that move.
- You recognize your need to have others speak into your life and situation,
- You are committed to adding value to others in the group
- You are able to commit to a weekly online mastermind group meeting.
- You are willing and able to commit to attending 2-3 “in-person” meetings each calendar year.
- You are able and willing to invest financially in your mastermind membership
(More information and guidelines will be provided to you in your personal interview)
Weekly (Online) Meetings
Our primary, and most consistent method for meeting is online. The wonderful thing about this is that you can be anywhere you want as long as you have a quality internet connection. Your geographical location is not important, but your presence on the video conference is.
Each week we meet on the same day and at the same time. We use a well-respected and dependable service called ZOOM.
In-Person Intensives
We will conduct 3 in-person meetings each calendar year. The format of these will vary from meeting to meeting, however, they are a very different experience than our weekly calls.
Each LIVE meeting will consist of 2 days of training, processes, and high level mastermind exercises designed to generate a 10X outcome in your life, business, ministry, or mission. Each member will have extensive “hotseat” time, and will leave the meeting with a strategy and actionable plan.
My Experience in Masterminds
For the last several years I have participated in TWO mastermind groups. I cannot express the impact these have had on my life, my business, and my relationships.
- I have experienced a significant pivot in my personal leadership.
- My business has transitioned to a broader reaching model, and is impacting 30X the nunber of people each month.
- I have built relationships and been granted access to mentors and leaders in my field of work.
- My ROI has easily exceeded 10X my personal investment in this process.
This is not a marketing ploy to get people into a course. I’m looking to grow my businesses in a co-operative environment and also share my knowledge and experience with those who are ready to take their life and their leadership to the next level.

My guest today is someone that shares my passion for helping people discover their purpose, develop their message, and launch them into a meaningful expression of serving others.
This marks our 300th episode and I wanted to use this opportunity to share something that will apply to many of you.
I have invited Dr. Michael Hudson back on the program with us. (He was on Episode #135.) I love bringing people on who can speak life into your leadership growth and your personal and professional pursuits.
Dr. Michael Hudson is a dear friend of mine, a great resource, and someone I have been doing life with for several years. He’s a teacher, speaker, writer, facilitator, corporate trainer, coach, and ideapreneur.
Listen intently today. We are talking to you!

Takeaways:
- Most people, even (and especially) if they desire to share their story, cite communication as a major issue in their work and in their lives.
- Sharing your message has far more impact on those you influence than you realize – but only if you share it!
- Our ability to have impact, influence, and income, comes in large part by our ability to leverage our past experiences.
- The first place we have to get our message heard is in our own brain.
- Who loses out if you don’t show up?
- “That which is obvious to you is often amazing to others.”
- Don’t discount the positive stuff in life.
- Mark your calendars for an event in Dallas February 22nd, 2018, and stay tuned for more details forthcoming.

Even if what you’re agreeing to is a great opportunity, the fact remains when you say yes to one thing, you’re saying no to one (or many) other thing(s). Is this something you should be aware of? Does it matter? How can you discern from the things you should be involved with versus things you should pass by? Tune in today to find out more!

There are people in this world who, frankly, do not have reasonable values, morals, or lifestyles, yet they succeed, prosper, and impact their environment with tremendous effectiveness.
How does this happen?
Simple. There are laws at work which transcend my opinion or stance on certain things.
If a person abides by certain principles and executes on those principles and laws, they will reap the rewards of those principles.
It’s so important for those of us who do have high standards, values, etc. to be influencing those around us, and succeeding in what we do and how we live. Therefore, we also must adopt, follow, and execute on certain principles!
Today, I want to share a few principles and factors which are paramount to success.
Tips, Tools, And Resources:
Say It, Mail It App

Enter the SAY IT, MAIL IT app.
This app is a lifesaver! Rather than trying to type a text or a reminder while driving, simply record and send!

Dreaming versus doing goes well beyond a motivational call to action – it’s a MUST if we are ever going to live the lives we plan to. Your creativity, your capacity, and your talents all come in to play if – and only if – you put them to work to make your dream a reality. Once you do this, watch the results and the rewards begin to roll in. Listen in as I unpack this more today.
