[Music] okay good morning everybody hope everybody's well welcome to the day great to have you on great to be together another day another opportunity to get a little bit better we're living in the world of famine the world of plenty we're living in the middle of the zone called the i call the joseph zone for those that are turning in for the first time welcome the joseph zone is zoned between famine and plenty that's what joseph saw that gave him the insight to the advice that he gave pharaoh that no one else can see he saw the moment when the fat cows and the skinny cows lived they coexisted for a moment that moment that he saw was what he capitalized on in the advice during times of plenty think of the famine store prepare and then during the times of the famine you'll have plenty and we've been talking about this is life whenever whenever you're in times of plenty times of peace times of tranquility times of times when things are good things are rolling think about appreciation and preparation use it capitalize it you can appreciate it but don't get lost in it a friend of mine who's there's a family member who had an exit of his company for many millions of dollars many millions of dollars and then over the course of time somehow had very little left and in analyzing what happened part of it was that during times of plenty they just lived in plenty they spent more money they lived more lavishly they made less disciplined investment decisions they meant they made less disciplined charitable decisions they did not create any real plans for additional revenue and then one day you wake up
