I was thinking about John Hawk today and about some of the things that he has said; and continues to say today; and will be saying tomorrow, too; and in twenty years from now(the man's never gonna die, you know) N...E...WAY, you get the picture! I remember him always throwing out his "guarantee". "I guarantee ya that......" he would say, as I rolled my eyes inside, and get on his soapbox about, well, you name it. Smoking, dipping, cussing, ethnicity(to be politically correct), work ethic, Endgate's bull-riding, "Bam's" tennis, Kathy-Lou, Betty Sue, "Candy Kisses", oh, and "what the preachers should be preaching.". If his mouth was open, he was talking about one of those topics. And don't hear me wrong when I say "talking". What I mean is preaching. Not in a typical biased, informative persuasive fashion, but rather, in the type of intimidating, finger-in-your-chest manner one would expect to experience from a car salesman on the last day of the month, one unit shy of "bonus" quota at a quarter to six (and I should know; been there, done that!)
It is this very statement, resounding in my ears as I type, that takes up residence on the tips of my fingers awaiting the "green light" to blurt out for all the world to hear, or see, I guess. I would like to be so bold as to offer this guarantee for anyone who stumbles across this blog. Are you ready?
I have decided that I am going to walk in the full potential of what God has created me for. I am going to succeed in everything that I put my hands to. And the guarantee, you ask? I guarantee that I am going to be a millionaire in the next five years. "Whoa! Hey man, that's a little overboard, don't you think?" "Big deal. Who cares? What about it?" Well, I'll tell you 'what about it'. I am acting on what God has given me. From now on. And you know what? I have been given a whole lot! I'm tired of being the latest generation of "do-nothing, have-nothings" in my family lineage. In my book, "The Buck Stopped Here", I talk a lot about the breakthrough that has taken place in my life because of the shift in my thinking and the recent motivation that has fueled me in the direction I am now going.
Okay, so I don't have a book, yet! It is in the works, though. I do, however, want to encourage you to dream big. I have squelched my own dreams and desires for most of my life because of a conservative belief that it is a very, very small fraction of a percent of people who actually experience success on a broad scale, and why risk the chance of failure and disappointment. But I have kicked that thinking to the curb. My BIG dreams are going to be realized and enjoyed by all, not just my family.
I GUARANTEE YA!

Baby, you are a successful businessman. You are a creative genius. You are the head and not the tail. You are blessed coming in and going out. You are going to be a blessing. You are amazing. I guarantee ya!
How fun that you have joined the world of the blogging!!!
You have been blessed with many talents and I can't wait to celebrate your success with you!
Blessings!
Billy,
Here is a word for you!
I speak blessing over you, that the spirit of closed doors would fall off, that the spirit of lack would be bound up, and that the flood gates of heaven would open over you. What ever you touch will prosper, because the Kingdom of God is within you! That were ever you work will be blessed, that His glory would shine through, that His wisdom would proceed your decisions and success would be common place for those around you!
Prophetically speaking when you walk in the word above, you will not be an employee for long, but the employer, and no longer the tight saver, but the gracious giver in your finances!
Billy I am ready to see this take place. God is giving people Big Dreams, and 2007 is a year for those dreams to begin to explode! You need to read a post on Elijah List (ashlee has it on her blog too). It is all about 2007 is a year that people experience the dreams God is giving! Blessing from the North!
Select capable men from all the people--men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain. Exodus 18:21. This is a picture of you, Billy, and the prophesy for these men are to be "...leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens" Amen! Take hold of your destiny!
Yo. I too have determined to be the head and not the tail. I have dreamed about being a millionaire and until recently hadn't reall thought it could happen. I have had Prophcies about me being a millionaire by the time I am 30. I say all that to say this. It is great to have goals. Do the little things with excellance and the money will come. I guarantee ya! Love you bro.
