#11 – I carved out time to study

One thing I have done since we started is make time to study. I take 2 full days for studying. These are days that I don’t take any appointments and I don’t come into the office. I am totally immersed in my message. If you don’t make time to study, everything else will creep in and devour your time. There are many needs that come up throughout the week. Allow your staff to meet those needs and take care of things while you do what’s most important and be prepared to communicate when you walk up to the platform on Sunday. Because it doesn’t matter how great everything else is, if the teaching is lame, people won’t stay.
