What if, in 2015, you could give yourself the \\u201cUltimate Advantage\\u201d in every area of your life \\u2013 faith, physical, emotional, and financial?

In today\'s episode, I\'ll share some foundational elements and practical advice on how to do just that.

Announcements

Here are a couple of immediate advantages you can give yourself in the area of learning, growing, and connections:

In just a few days from now\\xa0the\\xa0Platform Conference in Colorado Springs, will be in full swing, starting November 9th.\\xa0If there are any\\xa0seats still available, you can still save $100 when you click here and add the special code RAY to your order. \\xa0Yes, I am a featured speaker, and\\xa0I am also a student. I plan to learn as much as anyone while I am there. I hope you will be there with us.\\xa0As I have mentioned previously, Cliff Ravenscraft and I are hosting a special one-day event the day after the Platform Conference. This is a \\u201cDay With Cliff and Ray\\u201d, and if you\'re going to be in Colorado Springs for the Platform Conference, you should definitely consider joining us for this event.

The applications are piling up for the\\xa0Private Personal Mastermind Group, led by me, in 2015.\\xa0I\'ve really been surprised by the response to this, as we haven\'t really promoted it other than a few casual mentions on the podcast. This will be a small group, and our time together \\xa0will be intentional, demanding, and designed to bring you into alignment with your personal destiny. The criteria for membership in the group will be very precise, and the investment will not be exorbitant, but neither will it be cheap. If none of that scares you off, and if in fact you are one of the people who have expressed to me how you wished I would create a group like this, please reach out to me by sending an email to support [@] rayedwards.com.

Tip of the Week:

I\'ve been using and enjoying the newly re-designed PocketCasts app. It\'s a podcast player for iPhone, iPad, and Android. I find this one to be full-featured, including the all important speed control, as well as visually beautiful. It\'s kind of like FlipBoard for podcasts.

Spiritual Foundations:\\xa0Wisdom For Your Practical Problems

Wisdom equals the Presence Of God. Wisdom is a person\\u2026

\\u201cGod has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself.\\u201d
1 Corinthians 1:30

Whatever your need for wisdom, God has promised to grant your request.

\\u201cIf any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.\\u201d
James 1:5

This is not poetry or figures of speech, but literal truth:

\\u201cThe natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. \\u201cFor who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?\\u201d But we have the mind of Christ.\\u201d
1 Corinthians 2:14-16

Feature Presentation:\\xa0How To Get The \\u201cUltimate Advantage\\u201d In 2015

What more could you need, other than the wisdom we were just speaking of, to gain the \\u201cultimate advantage\\u201d?

Just because you have access to wisdom doesn\'t mean you are using it.

I believe there are 5 C\'s\\xa0that can help bring\\xa0your ultimate advantage in 2015.

1. Cultivating the increased awareness\\xa0of, and being more sensitive to, the Presence of God.
2. Clarifying your purpose, mission, vision and values (these are different things).
3. Commitment to acting with integrity in each moment, at the point of\\xa0choice.
4. Communicating powerfully with intention, \\xa0love, and transparency in a way that honors all involved.
5. Community that is intentionally created. Join\\xa0a high-quality Mastermind Group (you can inquire about the possibility of joining mine with an email to\\xa0support [@] rayedwards.com, or if you want to form your own I highly recommend Dan Miller\'s product on forming your own.)
