Making progress on my body feels amazing!

But even more amazing is my son’s progress with his love for being fit!

I do my best to work out at least 5-6 times a week but including my kids is the real challenge and the real rewarding work.

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

Do you know what’s the number 1 question kids ask?

If you’re a parent, you know what this question is:

Whyyyyyy

Why do those birds eat dead deer?
Why can’t we go swimming now?
Why do you get to go out with mami and we have to stay home?
Why is ice cream cold?
Why can’t I watch TV right now?

They ask it AL DAY LONG!!!
And sometimes at night too! 🤦🏽‍♂️

We have to understand as parents, that this is how they learn.

They learn rules.
They learn facts.
They learn reason.
They learn what to think.
And most importantly, they learn how you make decisions.

Your kids will always ask you why you’re making a certain decision. To be honest it can be annoying sometimes.
I used to make the same mistake a lot of parents make and say:
“Because I’m your dad, and I said so!”

But I realized that when I did this, I stripped away a piece of their curiosity.
The more I realized what effect that has when they get older, tho more open I was to teaching them how I make decisions.

Because I realized, that if I don’t answer their why question, I lose an opportunity to teach them a moral way of decision making.

I learned this lesson in a very good book:

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
Philippians 2:3-4

The Bible tells us to make decisions in the interests of others.

So if I’m interested in my kids’ future and their ability to make moral decisions, I make sure I answer their why questions as much as I can.

Even in public.
Even when It’s silly.
Even when it’s annoying.
And especially when I’m right and they’re asking for something they shouldn’t.

Don’t kill your kids curiosity.

Answer their why question.

June is men's health month

But I'm guessing nobody is really gonna talk about it…

So from one man to another I appreciate you & pray you doing better today than you were yesterday brother ❤️‍🔥

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

LOL and also WTF.

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

Crazy for me to admit:

I have a serious issue with imposter syndrome.

I've created MORE THAN 7 tools for parents & entrepreneurs to help their lives improve.... and because I wanted to "wait" until the perfect moment... I've never released them all to the public.

Imposter syndrome is something we all deal with at different levels.

But I'm proud to say that this will end now.

I'm creating a private community soon and all these tools and resources will be available to my community members.

Tools for:
- Time management & energy management
- Communication
- Parenting
- Personal development
- Journaling
- Affirmations
- Marketing
- Finances

WHAT WAS I WAITING FOR?!?!?

Jesus showed up in my dream last night and gave me a revelation I couldn't argue with:

Everything great I have & learned in life I've invested into with my energy, time, and/or money.

It's about time I start producing fruit from more than a decade of study.

[Web3 Book Club @w3bc_eth]

@Coach_Turby Sounds like great progress!👏🏽👏🏽

What a story.

[Web3 Book Club @w3bc_eth]

Sucking
And
Getting better.

What could be better than that? 😅

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

I sucked as a parent for years until I understood this simple life lesson.

I would “try” my best which, of course, felt like it was never good enough.

I felt like a failure, and I wondered:

“How do people make it look so easy?”

How did my parents do it?

With ZERO training, how does any parent do it?

Thankfully, 3 years into my marriage I learned something I’ll never forget:

Practicing in private is what brings success in public.

For me, that meant that the only way I was going to be a great dad is by continuous learning and continuous practice.

There have been millions of great fathers I could learn from, and there will be millions more.

There have also been millions of horrible dads that I didn’t wanna copy, but could learn what not to do.

Today I’m grateful to know that my kids love me, and my wife and I have developed an amazing system for parenting our 4 kids.

BUT

By no means does that mean we’re done learning, or practicing.

Because parenting is THE ONLY job you’ll never stop doing.

Christ is King.

Every knee will bow.

[Web3 Book Club @w3bc_eth]

@Coach_Turby Great strategy!

More than a punishment. A good life lesson.

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

Running an experiment this week with my kids…

They’ve been “punished” in the most creative way my wife and I could think of.

Before I share the punishment, let me share the reason for it:

For the past few weeks, they haven’t been respecting mom or following through on their duties. A lot of talking back, a lot of un-appreciation.

So we decided that they will spend a week of not getting their usual luxuries:
- No getting cooked meals.
- No getting driven to school.
- No laundry done.
- No electronics at all.
- No proffered snacks.

So what that looks like is:
They now wake up at 6:00am
They make their beds.
They make their own breakfast.
At 6:45 I walk them to school.
They can only eat what they can make. (Oatmeal, eggs with cheese sticks, or cream of wheat) and that’s breakfast AND dinner or snack.

Yesterday they did their own laundry, folded their own clothes and put them away.

I think these are all good life skills.

My mom thinks I’m an abusive father now 🤣🤣

What do you think?

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

A wise man once said:

“It is better to govern than to receive.”

At first I thought: “yea right! That’s BS”

And then I’d get Al these chances to help people, and I wouldn’t…

I’d think, well if I give, then I have less.

But what happened about 11 years ago…

I was in jail waiting for my court date, and I found out who said those words:

It was Jesus.

As I read more and learned about that story, I got out and decided to try it.

As I was leaving the courthouse to go home, a homeless person asked me for food.

“Here’s my chance I thought.”

I took him to a Spanish restaurant and bout him a full meal.

He was so happy and told me his story. He must of thanked me like 100 times.

And something super weird happened:

I cried.

Not cause I was sad, but because it felt so good to help another person and not be self absorbed.

I cried because I felt a weight come off my chest as I thought, this man hasn’t eaten a real meal in months, and I complain if my food is cold, or if someone steps on my shoes!

That day changed me, and slowly but surely I started to give.

I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I didn’t give away my time, money, and energy to people who need the help.

My life has gone through soo many ups and downs, and someone ALWAYS helped me improve it.

I am blessed because the more I give, the more I receive.

And I learned this little secret:

Giving is the key to having abundance.

Don’t let that go over your head.

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

You 🫵🏽

Can do

ALL THINGS

Through Christ

Who strengthens you!

(yes, you reading this right now)

[Web3 Book Club @w3bc_eth]

@TateTheTalisman Everything reproduces after itself.

The son looks like that because his father looks like that and thinks it’s ok.

@Coach_Turby Most important job in the world!

Why isn’t there any training though? 🤔

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

Parenting is the most important job you’ll ever do.

Unfortunately, the current society wants you to SUCK at it.

What we deal with is:
- No training for this job
- limited resources
- barely any support

Here’s 3 things that will stop you from failing at that job:

1- Apologizing to your children for your outbursts and mistakes.

We love being right.

It’s a human thing. It’s ok 👌🏽

But when it comes to guiding children and raising them to be responsible adults, they need to know that you don’t know wtf you are doing.

Letting them know that you make mistakes, and that you learn from them is only going to prepare them to be resilient in the future.

2- Ask them more questions.

It’s our natural inclination to always wanna be teaching our kids, or telling them what to do.

Chances are, they already know the answers, or half of them.

And even if they don’t, they CAN come up with them with your help.

Instead of telling them what the correct way to respond is, ask them what they think is the way… you’ll be surprised of how much they can figure out.

Plus, you’ll be preparing them to be critical thinkers and problem solvers as adults.

3- PLEASE STOP telling them to do things you’re not doing.

If you don’t read, stop telling your child to read.
If you don’t play outside, don’t make them do it.
If you don’t work hard at what you do, DO NOT tell them to work hard.

All humans learn by modeling. This means that they SEE what you’re doing, and want to copy you.

Try this: if you want your child to start doing a certain activity, do it in front of them for 90 days.

They’ll start to ask you questions as to why you’re doing what you’re doing, and then you just explain all the benefits.

You will build their desire to want to do that as well.

Now remember, nothing works if you don’t implement!

Go teach a kid to be a response-able adult!

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

Satan himself is out here showing off his horns.

On EASTER?!?!? Naaaaaa

If you don’t understand that this is spiritual warfare please WAKE UP!

The war between truth and lies is happening now. And those who refuse to accept and believe the truth…
I’ll be praying for you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Coach Turby 🧠💰 @Coach_Turby]

How many times have you made plans and followed through?

How many times have you succeeded?

How’d you do it?
