Hey, everybody! Welcome to the Keto Mom page. My name is Stephanie and we're going to talk about "The Law of Trade-offs". Which means giving something up that might be good, for something better. We're going through this book, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John Maxwell.

"Unsuccessful people make bad trade-offs. Average people make few trade-offs and successful people make good trade-offs”

A good trade-off would be, trading watching your favorite show so that you go to the gym. Or maybe you've made the opposite trade, like cutting your gym membership so you can have money for Netflix. That would be a bad trade-off.


“𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲. 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲”


If you don't have the book, and you're just listening along. My hope is that you grab one sentence and think about it all day today. “We don't always get what we want, but get what we choose". Our choices every single day, matter.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

“𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜'𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗜'𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳?

I pray for wisdom every day. I pray for great wisdom. Even last night in our church, one of the things I was praying for was wisdom and more vision, wisdom to help others.

“𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲”

𝗗𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄

I don't think oftentimes you want to think about that, but where you are today is a result of choices, good or bad. And in order for you to change, if you really want to, it's going to take some stretching, to get uncomfortable and different choices.

“While others leave their future in somebody else's hands, I will not. While others simply go through life, I will grow through life. That is my choice and I will surrender it to nobody".

"𝗢𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲. 𝗔𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲, 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗱, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲”

I’m going to say it again when you want something you've never had, you have to do things you've never done before. You've got to make different choices, you've got to get certain things up. You've got to do some hard things, and you've got to get uncomfortable.


You've got to ask those two questions. What are the pluses and minuses? Will I grow through this? It doesn't mean it's easy, but there is usually a simple process of creating habits. And that's saying no to some things and yes to some things. It's going to be uncomfortable, but it's okay.

“The difference between where you are and where you want to go is created by the changes we are willing to make in our lives”

I hope you're hearing a theme in this, it's the choices we make. Your choices will make or break you. It can make you successful or unsuccessful. You can live the life you want to, or live the life somebody else chooses for you.


“𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲"

𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗬! 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱.
Going to CrossFit is not easy. My daughter and I want to get stronger. It's fun and it has an incredible community. but it's not easy.

Usually, when I walk into the CrossFit gym, I have this little gut-wrenching feeling that I'm about to get my butt kicked. But I want the results, I want that change, I want to be stronger and want to stay fit. I actually love doing it with my daughter. It's in the middle of the afternoon, so I've got to get up earlier, get some stuff done, and focus on homeschooling.

𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿

It's a sacrifice in the middle of the afternoon but it also is a reward to spend time with my eldest daughter. There are pros and cons, but if we capitalize on our time, we work through the hard challenges, we don't give into that gut-wrenching feeling of doubt. But rather, we just go and do it. We might feel sore, but it was so good.

It built the relationship between my daughter and I, and it's been incredible. It helps me be more intentional with my day.

So if you want something, you've got to get specific. You've got to write out what it takes to get there. You might have to give up things like your extra hour of sleep. You're also like those people you hang out with. Maybe you can give up some of the outings in the evenings and some of the extra drinks. You don't have to give up friends but you don't have to hang out with them every weekend. You definitely don't need to hang out at the bar every weekend. You don't need to be drinking every night.


You've got to seriously look at what you want, and what are you willing to give up to get what you want. Because if you're not willing to give up some of those things, then you don't really want it. You might not like that but it is true. We'll just say the book said it not me.

So you've got to look at all the things you want to do...
  • I want to sleep more

  • I want to be less stressed

  • I'd like to read more

  • I'd like to eat healthily

  • I'd like to go to the gym

  • I'd like to have better relationships

  • I'd like to have better finances

Example Trade-offs

  • Finances: You might have to give up your shopping at Target to pay off debt.

  • Health: You might have to give up the evening drinks or the evening snacks. You might have to give up Netflix to go to the gym.

  • Positive Mindset: You might have to give up certain relationships with who you talk every day.

Alright! We'll finish it tomorrow. I hope I gave you something to think about and ponder on. The book is called, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John Maxwell. I think we could get this book done by the end of the month, that way we can start getting back in alignment with our goals, habits, and systems. I want to go through "The Miracle Morning" at the beginning of February.


And then we've got a book about positive mindset next. I have my fourteen-year-old daughter reading it right now. We’re actually paying her to read it. If you want your children to learn how to have a positive mindset, and to learn what you're learning right now. Encourage your teenagers to read and pay them ten or twenty bucks.
