Hey everybody! Welcome to the Keto Mom page. My name is Stephanie and we're going to do our morning mindset. We're going to finish, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John Maxwell. We're going to talk about mentors, habit stacking, and I'm going to also shake up my ketones.

How do I just get started with better habits?
How do I just get started on a focused path?

Oftentimes, we want to be better, my life to be better, and I want to lead by example. There are so many things that I want to do, but where do I get started? So that's what we're going to talk about today.


A little side notes: There are so many of you that are snowed in, I'm so sorry to hear that. But in all reality, what's interesting is Perspective.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗮𝘆.
Perspective my friends, because the snow isn't bad, it actually is quite beautiful.

The cold isn't bad because it actually kills things so they don't become overpopulated. Even in Florida, you still have crazy weather in the summers. You deal with hurricanes, and there are lots of bugs, wherever you go. But you can still see positive things that you love.


I actually love Minnesota, I love living up north. I love that I can jump in a lake and not worry about an alligator. I love that we just deal with snow and mosquitoes. I don't love the negative degrees, but as soon as it hits 15 degrees or above, it's fine. So have perspective. Yes, you're snowed in, but you get to spend some peaceful time at home, start a fire, read a book or just have a down day.


If your goal is to start habit stacking, or getting better in so many different areas of your life. For example, your health, then you need to eat better and make better choices. But where do you start, and what do you do?


Chapter 13:

"The Law of Modeling"

This is what I want you to do. When you're just starting and you feel like you need to fix relationships in your life, your finances, and all of the other things. He said one of the first things you really should do is find a mentor. A mentor can be in a form of a book or a podcast. He said to be super picky with the books that you read, the lessons that you learned, the people that you watch, and the conferences you attend.

So think of how many people are trying to do it all by themselves. It can help to listen to somebody who's already done it before you. If you can get out of your comfort zone and ask a simple question, you will learn from people who've already done it and you will go further faster.

That's the power of wisdom. It's finding people that you would love to learn from. My husband does this all the time, whenever we go out in public. Like one time, an older couple said, "We have four girls too". So every time somebody asks questions about our kids or homeschooling, my husband usually asks them, "Give me your best tip to raising girls. Tell me one thing that I need to know about how to raise my daughters better".

𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹.
Ask! Ask the people that have gone before you, about whatever it is you're dealing with in your life. Ask somebody in person, or there are so many podcasts out there, which are free.

Education is free, but be picky and be choosy. There are also books, parenting books, incredible marriage books, or incredible health books. These are materials that can help you in any area of your life.


"𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴".


He talks about taking notes, writing down your points, learning from any person that you choose to learn from, and then taking action on that.

My husband Steve is here, he wants to sit by me and also talk about mentors, taking action and habit stacking. But then I also want to dive into, "How do you start?"

"𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀".


You are all here to learn and grow. Mentors are worthy examples and are available, whether it's a book or a personal mentor. We had great mentors growing up.
