This class discusses business dealings through the teachings of Rabbenu Ahmed, emphasizing that a person should pray and learn Torah immediately in the morning before engaging in business. This combination of prayer and study brings down spiritual light, sharpens the mind, and creates the proper mindset of trust in God. The speaker explains that Torah must be balanced with business, because too much study without worldly engagement leads to burnout and an overabundance of light that the mind cannot contain. The core message is that trust in God determines success: the stronger the trust, the less desperate effort is required, and the more a person attracts exactly what is meant for them in its proper time. Trust gives clarity and vision, allowing one to focus on solutions rather than problems, while lack of trust produces worry, obsession, withholding, and panic. Charity is presented as essential because it keeps money flowing and rectifies the soul, since money and the soul share the same divine source. The manna in the desert illustrates that sustenance comes daily and should not be hoarded or commingled with yesterday's issues. Effort in business always transfers, so failed deals are not wasted. The speaker urges listeners to recalibrate their energy, sharpen their saw through morning prayer and learning, and never bring low energy into business or relationships.

Good morning.
Welcome to today's class.
Today's class is today's class is today's class is also sponsored for the work I've been ghetto and Rachel Brown matchmaking.
All right, today's class we're going to talk about business dealings from Rabin Ahmed.
0:18
He talks about what, what should we do?
What, what should be a be the approach of business?
And he starts the halacha by saying one should leave the synagogue and right right away.
As soon as you a person prays, he should right away learn something.
Because what happens is when a person learns something after he prays, he's bringing down the prayer.
0:35
He actually brings down the prayer.
It's very beneficial to have Torah and prayer together.
They both work very, very good together.
And after that you should go do business.
After that you should go do business.
It's very important because anything that any, anytime something is, anytime something is you do too much of something, it won't last.
0:53
And this is where he's saying here that anytime Torah does not combine with business, the business, the, the Torah itself can be forgotten.
So it's very, very important to have that combination.
Sometimes the the problem is in life, when you do something too much, you get burnt out, your mind can't handle it.
1:09
And This is why the reason 11 has to devote time to the business affairs after Torah study is to give the mind at rest.
Otherwise the mind would receive an overabundance of light and the, and the vessels would break and then shattering the vessels.
So the the practical thing in the morning person should pray in the morning, then he should learn something and remember.
1:29
And then he should go do business, not the other way around, do business and then check in a couple of because it's the whole point that he's going to bring in this in this tour is something very powerful.
It's your mindset, your mindset.
The better the stronger your mindset, the less work you have to do, right?
1:48
The the weaker your mindset, the more you are going to be be in a hurry, be desperate, be lacking.
So it's the the important.
That's what the whole purpose was to, to get the mindset straight.
So there's nothing greater than waking up in the morning, praying, learning, and then then you go to work.
2:05
Your mindset's completely different.
You you're working on trust, you're empowered, you're focused.
That's because the more you're focused, the more you can see things.
OK, I could see OK, I can.
I know how to resolve that problem.
The person doesn't know how to resolve a problem.
He panics first.
2:20
So when you when you have trust, it gives you slow, it gives you the concepts called Erica Pine.
You're patient.
You understand the process.
You understand, OK, this is something to fix.
This is something to repair.
This is an this is an opportunity with an employee.
It's a much more offensive strategy.
2:37
The Torah wants you to focus on offense, not playing defense.
OK, so but if you're just going straight wake up to your phone straight to work, you're going in there with yesterday's problems and you're dragging into today so you can see why the importance the Torah is telling you have to you need time.
2:54
You need to learn Torah because learning Torah will and learn prayer and Torah, both of these concepts will sharpen your mind.
They'll give you certainty, right?
We always, we're worried about this concept called wow, right?
When you worry about money, when you obsess about money and you will when you withhold money.
3:11
These are the three things that the evil inclination want you to constantly do.
Worry, obsess and withhold these things could not only do they not attract money, but they completely push away opportunities.
They completely push away opportunities.
So think about it practically.
3:27
This is a default setting.
How are you going to fix this?
We wake up, we pray, we learn because learning downloads the prayer.
They both need each other.
Person who just prays and doesn't know what he's OK.
What are you praying for?
You pray for the wrong thing and if he's just learning and it's on potential with them without prayer, then it's just a potential.
3:46
So you need both learning and prayer.
You need both of those concepts.
They both work hand in hand, just like the sport.
And if you exercise the legs gives is the strongest muscle to actually help you with the bar with upper body.
If you're just doing upper body, you're not doing legs.
You take, you're not you're not ever going to get as strong as possible.
4:04
You need the legs to help the upper body.
The same thing.
Torrent Fila.
They should work together, prayer and learning.
They work together because we always need the prayer to always to download.
Just because you learn something doesn't mean you retain it.
You need sometimes the prayer to download the prayer to download the consciousness.
4:20
But remember, this is the most important that, that that is the best way to start the day.
And this is where because of what happens if a person learns too much and he doesn't go into business, his mind's going to be taxed.
He's not going to be, you know, he's not going to be able to, to internalize this.
It's just too much light, right?
4:37
We always need to learn something and then take a break right?
Anytime, anytime we're always worried about too much light.
Anytime there's too much light in something, you need to download it.
You're in a relationship, it's too hot, you need to download it.
This is not a, this is not a marathon.
You know you got it.
This is a marathon.
4:52
You got to download it.
You know people love these high experiences, but they don't download them.
They, they get the high experiences and then they crash.
No, we need a high experience and better.
We got to download it.
High experience downloaded and we always want to micro.
We want to always put in Kabbalah.
It's something called the Massaf.
5:08
It's it's something called you always want to put it Simpson like a constriction because you're always worried about if you do too much of it, you get burnt out, right.
You go training with the trainer.
How many 50 minutes That's it can't be an hour and a half an hour and a half.
You won't be you won't show up for 2-3 days.
You need to create a constriction.
5:24
So it's enough has it and and the Gabor at the same time too much.
It's even though you, you, you feel excited, but you'll be burnt out for two days.
So we always need to measure everything.
You know, prayers have to be measured.
Everything has to be measured.
Kabbalah, everything has to be measured.
5:41
Right away you have light, but right away it has to be measured.
If it's not measured, we're always the dangers always because it comes from the infinite light of, of, of being burnt out.
And you could see a lot of people today I got burnt out, I quit.
You didn't, you didn't, you didn't plan properly, you plan properly, etcetera.
5:57
You know, I do a class, OK, 30 minutes, 35 minutes, that's it.
I can't go.
If I go an hour, it's because I'm in another world.
But people can't handle that.
They can't handle that.
And this is where he talks about that.
Because if, if it's too much, if a person learns too much, it's going to be an over abundance of light and the evil forces can actually attract to it.
6:16
So This is why right away we were commanded to go to business after that.
And the whole purpose of doing business is to protect the vessels from the damage of, of, of connecting to that.
And then he talks another beautiful concept.
So he's sitting here that when you the all partnerships, if you think about all partnerships and all relationships, there's a buyer and seller, there's light and reflected light, right?
6:37
There's a customer and there's a there is a merchandise.
There's there's two people, there's a house customer wants to buy it.
There's always a reflected light and directed light.
Every relationship has two lights, a reflected light and directed light.
Director light, reflected light, right, Two people doing the business deals direct light, reflected light, right?
6:56
You look and you get back the the goal of everything.
In a perfect world, if we had enough trust in God, if you could see things, you could attract everything that's right in your life.
If you had enough trust in your life, you would attract absolutely everything in your life that's meant to you and you wouldn't even be bothered by any luck because it would come to you.
7:15
If you had that level of consciousness where you said God, if this is coming to me, this is good for me, you would never be upset because you know exactly when you have trust in God, everything exactly it's supposed to go exactly the way it's supposed to be and whether it's a breaking of the vessel, whether it's this which whether it's a redirection.
7:32
Trusting in God means everything is exactly got God's bestowing kindness upon me every single day.
It's only when we lack trust in God that we have to work much more harder.
Understand if a person let me a great example of this would be, let's say you're very confident about yourself and you have self esteem.
7:51
Do you need to go text the person?
Are you are we going to on a date at 3:00?
Are you sure you want to go to the day at 5:00?
Are you sure where you going to pick me up?
Are you sure you're going to pick me up?
Where you going to?
Do you know my valet code, blah, blah, blah.
By the time the guy gets to the date, he's I don't know if I want to commit to this relationship.
You know, she's overselling over worried about her, him not picking her up.
8:07
So the more you are insecure about your relationship with God, the more you're actually working, you understand, the more desperate, the more the salesman has not made a sale, the more desperate he is to try to make the sale.
And that's the person you don't want to buy from.
At the end of the day, we don't buy.
We buy from the a good salesman, you have to get him on the phone.
8:26
Lucky if you get him on the phone, right?
A good real, you have to barely get him on the phone, right?
You go to a you make an appointment with a specific doctor a month out.
Yeah, if something's too available, it's a problem of the quality of the something of the situation.
8:43
So the same thing in life is when you are when you perfect trust, you perfect the vision, trusting gives you vision when you are when you are confidence and you have certainty, you have trust.
You no longer have to look close to something.
You no longer have to micromanage everything.
9:00
You no longer have to do that.
But to the degree that you don't trust in God, right, then that is where the excessive work.
So if you think, if you look at this common sense wise that we're obviously we're, we have a little common sense.
How are you?
How, how am I going to get that mindset through Torah and learning through Torah and prayer?
9:18
Am I going to get the mindset to have certainty that God blesses me.
He does everything for the best.
Then I can go into business and not have to go chase customers and I have to go chase things, not have to go oversell, not have to go undersell.
You know, the, the energy you're going into is already I trust in God.
9:35
Whatever's meant to come to me is meant to come to me.
If it's not meant to come to me, it's not meant to come to me.
It's not meant to come to me.
It's a whole different level of conscious when a person has has a level of confidence and certainty.
It's the most attractive thing also in a relationship, but a person is, is confident and they don't, they don't need to go and, and, and check your phone every second and, and accuse you of this and, and, and create all kinds of drama for absolutely for insecurity.
10:00
There's nothing worse than insecurity in a relationship doesn't with insecurity in a business, right?
They're always worried about something wrong happening.
Oh my God, this is going to happen wrong.
What happens if this happens wrong?
What happens that happens wrong?
I mean, you're almost you're walking on egg shells, you know, just the fact that you're saying that all the time, it's showing you you lack trust in God.
10:16
And how do you fix this?
You're not working more.
How are you going to work more, more, more?
No step off.
Recognize who's running the show and go in there with different attitude.
This is why the morning is the morning is exactly where your new mindset is gets developed.
10:32
So the first thing you do in the morning, it's very important how it sets the day.
So it's where go work, work, work, work with with 3% battery, Let me charge my battery, let me trust in God.
And because I trust in God, I will attract exactly what I need to do with the people I need to be with, etcetera.
10:49
So it's not a waste of time.
It's actually you're going in there with, with no energy, you're going with no energy.
And of course you're going in there with yesterday's problems and you're almost thinking it's going to go off again.
So This is why it's so important.
The first thing in the morning, we're not even allowed to eat bread.
11:05
We're not even allowed to eat first.
We check right away.
The mind is fresh.
What what do you fill in your mind today?
And that combination is so, so important.
And this is where he said explain to anytime you look at something, you give it, you give it reflected and directed light as it says God bless.
11:21
This is why we look all eyes look up to you and give you give you hope in its time.
In its time God will give it to you.
When you trust in God, whatever is meant to come to you is going to come to you in its time because everything in life has comes without time and space.
But when you have trust in God, it comes to you, you nullify time and space.
11:41
And if things come to you exactly when it's time, like I said, when you have confidence, you almost, you almost think you're gonna succeed.
Confident person, even if you look at the dollar bill and God we trust and God we trust.
Look at the dollar bill.
If you can't, you forget.
And God, we trust the same thing.
11:57
The opposite of trusting is, is, is is a Malik, a Malik makes you forget, makes you forget who's running the world.
Malik is doubt.
What is the doubt 240?
The same numerical value is dollar.
So there you go.
You're either trusting or you are in doubt.
But this is not something this is not a cute thing that you're going to randomly, oh, cute, cute, cute Instagram post.
12:18
No, what do you, what are you doing the first thing in the morning?
Where do you put your trust in?
Where do you look up to where?
What's the first thing you do in the morning?
That's the question.
Are you trusting in Wall Street?
Are you trusting in this?
Are you trusting in the Bitcoin or I mean, what are you, what are you trusting in life?
That's the question is where is your trust?
12:35
And the problem is, is when you misplace your trust, the thing that you trust and now can overpower you.
So we can actually give jurisdiction to things that have fears on us because we actually gave them energy.
But if I trust in God, nothing has energy and I will attract.
Exactly.
12:50
Therefore, this corresponds to business dealings.
The essence of business dealings is to evoke the power of sight, to invoke the power of sight.
A good coach, right?
You pay, you pay a quarterback $20 million a year, you pay a coach 30 million.
13:08
What are these coaches making this kind of crazy one?
Because they know what to do.
They can call a play from 20.
They have the site and they trust, they know exactly what to do.
There's an experience, there's a site, there's a vision there that knows exactly what to do if this happens.
He knows exactly what to do if this happens.
13:24
You know exactly what?
Why do they pay Cos crazy money to turn away companies?
Because you know, it's exactly how to his sight vision, a visionary, he's a visionary, right?
Versus he's a visionary.
What is a visionary is a product of having trust.
But when you don't have vision, you panic.
13:41
That's what anxiety does.
Obsession and horror.
This is and the most important thing is that you, you should not think it's your business.
It's your level of trust.
He put he, he has to bless you through the business.
That means do we have to create a business that's going to make you want to make a certain amount of money?
You have to create a business that could be a decoy for that, right?
13:59
You have to create.
If you're going to be, you want to make a certain amount of money, you have to be in real estate.
You have to do this.
There's a certain thing you have to, you can't just shine shoes and then sell to fill in and expect it to say, I want to make a $2,000,000 a year.
It's not going to happen.
You have to create, put yourself in a position.
But once you have once you put yourself in the position you sit, then we give charity because we want to receive to we want to receive to give right.
14:23
The whole purpose of, of remnants is the whole purpose of, of transit of business should be for the sake of you should wake up and say, wow, I have, I want to give $300,000 to this organization.
Bless me through this deal, Bless me through it, not because of me, bless me through it.
14:39
But if you're not giving charity, all of this is very tough to talk about because there's no output.
There's really no output.
There's only an input.
It's all about you.
So without charity, all of this, you can't trust and God not give charity because then you think it's yours.
And if you don't give it out, that means you're afraid it's going to happen.
14:54
You're afraid you're not going to make it.
So without the charity element, we're talking bananas here.
We'll be talking about all day long nonsense.
Charity is what is what moves the merchant moves, moves the flow moves.
Money has to flow.
Money is Zeus.
That's the move.
15:10
That's the move.
Money has to Zeus, that's the move.
Has to come in, has to come out, has to come in.
It has to come out.
And again, if you are, he'll give you an opportunity to do it.
If you, if you can't give the charity out, he'll just give another person the opportunity to do it.
That's it.
Very simple and I've seen and I've seen this hands on myself, I've seen it with myself.
15:31
I've seen this anytime there's a there's any lack that I have.
I don't even consider anything more but give more charity.
The charity opens up every every door all the time.
Charity opens up every single door.
It's the one thing you could do that is the All in all encompassed tikkun.
15:46
It rectifies pretty much everything.
Why?
Because money comes from the same place as the soul.
Money comes in the same place as the soul on high and therefore the purpose of business is to in in order to create the power of sight.
And this is where this corresponds to sight.
16:03
And what happened when the Jews were were the Jews were in the desert and knew they were in the wilderness.
What happens they had a jar.
Jeremiah showed them here.
This is the canister of mana.
What happens?
They put the mana in in a canister to remember.
This is how you your your ancestors survived in the in the in the desert.
16:21
They survived in the merit of the man, right?
The word man who man who is what man who?
What is this?
People used to ask what is this man who, what is this man?
Who is the word Amuna faith, man, who is the word Amuna faith?
16:37
And the whole purpose of the man was God gave him every single day a portion so he can test them.
So we know that money's also a test.
And we have to understand that every single day the money was given to him specifically every single day.
Why?
Because God wants you to have a relationship with him every single day.
16:54
He does sometimes he doesn't give it to you wholesale here.
So give me please give me 60 days version so I don't have to worry.
You know, some people say just give me 60 days.
Let me not worry for 60 days, right?
That's what we all say.
Give me 60 days a month.
I don't want to I don't have to.
I don't want to have to rely on you got.
17:10
I don't have to rely on you.
Just give me 60 days, give me two months worth.
I don't have to rely on you.
That's practical what you're saying.
But so it comes down every single day and every single day has this individual blessing that if you connect to that single day, that's what you should never say.
17:25
You have to be very careful about bringing yesterday into tomorrow because or yesterday until today, because today is a completely different result, completely different blessing, completely different circumstances.
So if you don't have a good relationship with with this daily concept, right, you can actually bring trauma into new deals, to new deals.
17:48
And I promise you, I promise you and I promise you and I will put this in you will always go through a test first before you get the deal.
It never happens in the first shot, never happens in the first shot or another deal will break and the effort you'll make on the other deal will all of a sudden transfer into a new deal and it'll come fast for you.
18:07
That's how it works.
Every single effort that you make in business, it's considered a tax.
We are, we are we.
Unfortunately today, unfortunately, that's the rules of life.
You have to pay a tax.
It's part of the curse of Adam and Eve was paying a tax that you have to make.
18:23
You would have bitterness making money.
So sometimes you have to be in a deal for 3-4 months, five months, it doesn't go through and next thing you know, 2 weeks later, boom, another deal happens without any nothing you can say.
How'd that happen?
Very simple.
You handled the six months well.
18:38
You, you worked on the six months deal.
It didn't.
Even if it didn't go through, it doesn't mean it's goes to nothing.
It gets transferred.
The effort always gets transferred.
So you could always transfer the effort, which is an amazing concept.
You could be a relationship for two years and all of a sudden it didn't work out.
Next thing you need to meet somebody in a week and it could be the love of your life, could be the love of your life.
18:57
We think 2 years.
How am I going to deal with another two years of another way?
I don't have the strange for who, who, who's telling you need to have strange for that.
Who's who tells you that?
That's not the way it rules it.
Effort gets transferred.
We think 02 years must be another two years.
That's not your business.
19:12
Your business is to work as hard as you can and surrender and then your creator will will create a miracle right away.
And this has happened to me many times.
Things that didn't work out and the other thing came, came quickly, boom, boom, boom, boom.
No headaches.
I can't tell you how many times this happened because because effort gets transferred, effort gets transferred.
19:30
It's not an individual thing.
Very, very important to understand that.
And this is where we have to understand that with the more we trust in God, the less we have to, the more we could see, the less we have to worry about it we have the less we worry, the less we the less we have to work.
And he says in a perfect world, if everybody had such, such, the only reason why people have to work is because they lack trust in God.
19:51
They lack trust in God.
They feel like they have to hold on to something.
That's the only reason why people.
But in a perfect world, everything will come to you.
The Baal Shankar would lose all his money every single day on purpose.
He would give it away and every single day he would receive it.
In a perfect world, the more trust you have, the more you will receive.
The more you're rushing, the more in lack.
20:08
Don't you realize that people are lacked always complaining about more lack, more lack, more lack?
Have you not seen that?
You not seen that?
The same pattern lack more complaints, you have more complaints.
It's the same pattern because you're lacking.
Anytime you're complaining, you're lacking trust.
Instead of fixing the you're trying to fix the issue when you should be fixing the consciousness.
20:27
That's the time to not work.
That's the time to anytime you're in that mindset, that's not the time to go to work.
That's the time to stop.
I need to recalibrate my mind.
I need to I need to check out so I could check in with Beta Hawk.
That's not the time to go over work when you have when you're when you're when you're in fear opposite.
20:45
And this is exactly where the man whoever tried to hoard in the in the times of the month, whoever tried to hoard the man, whoever tried to hoard it, it actually got ruined.
The more you try to hoard, then actually the more time it becomes it ruins you.
It ruins you.
That's why every single day you have to look at at today's blessing is today's blessing.
21:05
Tomorrow's is tomorrow.
Don't commingle, Don't commingle.
You know, women, sometimes they want to talk about three things at the same time, right?
This, this, this, this, you know, you're like juggling 4 rabbits.
Well, guys, let me say one thing right now.
21:20
Let's deal with one thing at a time.
And Reminakan says also you have to be careful not to commingle your problems.
OK, very important.
And he says you can't mix an ox and a donkey together.
Why are we not allowed to mix an ox and a donkey together?
Because a donkey is, is an ox is chewing its cut all the time, right?
21:37
What happens when the ox chooses cut it spits it out and choose it again.
Choose it again.
The donkey's the donkey and says, how come this the ox is getting more food than I am?
He doesn't understand.
It's the same cut over and over again.
So in life you can't, you can't commingle your problems.
21:52
Don't bring money into marriage, which is obviously that's usually where that goes.
Money is money.
Marriage is marriage.
We always, we always like to commingle problems, you understand, keep, keep things in separate departments because the the job of the evil inclination is to gobble all the good.
22:13
This is why the seven lean cows swallowed the seven good cows.
You could have 7 good years in life.
You can have one bad year and the bad year could swallow up to seven years.
If you have the wrong attitude, if you're getting tested, you have to be careful with the seven years of good and seven years of famine.
22:28
The evil inclination likes to swallow the good.
You see, the person's done good for you for 10 years.
All of a sudden you went, you're going through a divorce, you're going through something horrible, toxic, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
How about 10 good years?
How about this?
How about that the evil clinician likes to swallow up all the good.
22:44
Only thing you do likes to swallow the evil inclination.
Even you do.
You're going to have a great day right until 4:00.
Next thing you know, you get the wrong e-mail.
What a terrible day I had.
You know, it likes to swallow up all the good.
It likes to swallow up all the good.
And this is where it's extremely important that any time, and this is corresponds to the month, the month corresponds to I'm, I'm testing you and I'm sending you bread from heaven.
23:09
And I will test them to see how they will handle.
Will they get worried?
How will they sustain it?
Will they depend on me?
These are the exactly the same daily tests that we're going through every single day.
And this is when Jeremiah told them he wanted them to devote themselves to Torah study and strengthens the trust in God.
23:27
Not go work more, not go find more customers.
You understand the difference when when you are when you are.
It's like people are telling me, God, I need to find somebody.
I said right now you're in you're category 3 energy right now you're, you're going to meet somebody.
23:43
Luckily in bankruptcy court right now your energy is so off that God forbid I would introduce you to somebody.
God forbid I wouldn't punish them.
OK, this is not the time to go on cruises on, on singles and this is the time to recalibrate.
Get yourself into a category 8 energetically and then go reconnect.
24:02
You're going to business in Category 3, Category 2, worried, not giving, charity, anxious, pessimist, sad, depressed, numbing.
Whatever you're doing, that's not the time to go find a job.
It's like people.
People show up to interviews and it looks like a mug shot.
24:19
Sometimes you see the interviews.
I have to interview people from my rehab.
Is this a mug shot that we go to the kind of court?
This person should be in recovery, not not they shouldn't be in an interview.
Like like, are you kidding?
Like in a million years, I would never hired.
Do you understand?
24:35
Like, what do you think?
What are you thinking?
I don't say thank God my HR person says it, but obviously if I was me saying it, forget it.
But the bottom line is, how are you showing up?
How are you showing up like that?
How are you showing up in a pajama to an interview out in the world?
What do you think?
24:51
This is COVID already.
Covid's over.
We don't, we, we, we actually go, we smile, etcetera.
But the energy you're showing up is what you should be concerned about.
And what's going to change your energy is torrent Fila consciousness and prayer.
That's going to change your energy.
It's not the work, it's not the job.
It's not this.
25:06
That's the time to back off.
That's the time to back off, back off, recalibrate, reconnect with a different energy.
We don't date with category 3 energy with low self esteem that that's not the time.
That's not what you're trying to push a square into a circle, trying to push a square into a circle.
25:25
You know, like I tell my, my clients don't get into love in these programs.
This is not a this is not the love island here.
You know, I haven't gone to a wedding of from people in my recovery center.
They just don't happen.
They fall in, they fall out.
It's trauma bonding.
But we have to always understand what kind of energy am I showing up to when I'm going to work?
25:44
Am I confident?
Do I have certainty?
Am I relying my creator?
Am I giving charity?
That's what we should be concerned about.
Not the customer, not the contract, not the deal, not the markets.
This is all exterior things.
This is all exterior things.
I'm worried about the market.
25:59
How about, how about worried about you don't trust in God?
How about that?
Maybe that should be the biggest worry.
God, there's no, there's no concept of time and space with God.
There's nothing.
Nothing's all in a second.
Everything could change.
Everything could change in the blink of a second.
But I guarantee when you show up with low energy, you will always attract the lack and things were you're going to try to anytime that I'm showing up in low energy, I'm going to not only I'm not going to get it.
26:23
This is why her sage says whoever, whoever rushes the hour pushes away the hour.
I've had times when people that had deals, they were they were they were just rushing and and making me crazy.
The deal never went through and never went through with that energy never went through.
People are confident, etcetera.
They even, there isn't even studies that people who don't check how much money they have in the, in the bank accounts actually have much more money than people who do.
26:44
So there's a concept of not looking too much, not checking too much because checking too much is a sword.
And we're not saying, we're not saying here you have to obviously have accounting, etcetera.
But when you overlook at something, you give it.
This is what we're not allowed to count things.
If you count, this is like giving an evil eye, you get me?
27:00
Because counting takes away from limitation.
It takes away from itself.
So we always have to be careful with that stuff.
And look what he's saying here.
To the degree in which a person binds himself below, this is how he is treated above rock.
I'm telling you to the degree that you bind yourself below, that's how you're treated above.
27:21
To the degree which we have that we have faith in God's substance that only comes from him.
He will protect you and give you Providence, and it'll give you the power of sight to give you exactly what you need.
And it's time.
So remember, this is a consciousness.
This is not.
Don't put your head, get your head in trusting God, then go into the deal.
27:40
You know, just as like it's like the almost the you see people like Stephen Covey talks about sharpening the saw right when you're going your guy's cutting down the tree, right?
And I'm busy.
But the saws, you know, it's a dull saw.
How long you need four or five hours.
27:56
I'm busy.
Don't you say I'm working.
I'm busy, busy.
Listen to me.
Take 10 minutes, sharpen the saw and then you'll cut the tree down and 20 minutes.
I'm busy, I'm busy.
You're busy, busy with a dull knife.
So sometimes we are walking into business with a dull knife.
28:13
You're walking into relationships with the dull knife and that's not the time to go and say I'm busy, so I'm busy.
You're not being productive.
Busy is not productive.
Remember the very important busy is not productive.
Sharpen the saw and then go cut.
We sharpen the saw by learning and praying in the mornings.
28:31
Every time you learn and you pray every morning, you are sharpening your saw.
You're building certainty, you're building the relationship with God.
Then you can go in there with a sharp saw, with a sharp knife and then things cut.
There's no greater, I'm telling you right now, there's no greater asset in life than having clarity.
28:50
Clarity is the greatest.
If you have clarity, that is a great everything.
But when you don't have clarity, what do you have?
You have, you have absolutely nothing.
And this is where, this is where sadness, if you look at sadness and, and not being focused, it's the opposite.
29:06
It's opposite.
You're, if we understood that everything is the sadness is bringing you more problems.
It's the sadness that's bringing you more problems.
Because remember, it's, you're already having the bread of sorrow.
So this is what I say.
Just tell us right away if you feel any kind of constriction, any luck, or do we give charity away because you got to change the energy?
29:26
It's a sadness because what happens is we don't believe that God's providing for us in its time and the sadness is actually causing the problem.
It's not that the business is causing the sadness.
It's a sadness that's causing the problem in the business.
That's like the whoa, I never understood that concept.
29:42
We're thinking, but why are you so sad?
Because the deal didn't go through.
It didn't deal, didn't go through because you're sad.
That's the problem.
That's the problem.
It's the opposite.
Everything you see in the world is a complete reflection of your consciousness, of your state of being, etcetera.
I'm telling you, I can see the more I look at things and the more I see business and the more I see things, it's exactly, exactly the same.
30:03
The concept of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Because if the poor are walking into a that kind of consciousness they don't have, they even if they get it, they're worried about it's going to lose.
Even if they're worried about it's going to be worth taking for them.
You understand they're coming from lack.
That's a lack of trust in God.
30:21
OK, when you're going into a relationship and you're automatically, you meet somebody nice and the automatic, if you think within a week they're going to cheat on you, you got a problem.
You should not be dating.
You need to go do inner child healing.
You need to heal.
You need, you need to talk to therapy.
You, you can't go back to dating.
30:37
If you're already suspecting after a week, you're getting cheated on.
If you're expecting after a week, two weeks, you're doing the distance, so the deal's going to fall through.
You have a problem.
You have a mindset problem.
You don't have a business problem.
You have a mindset problem.
You have a mindset problem because the worst thing is when you have, when you're when a quarterback is open and the wide receiver is open that he should throw in the ball, he should catch it, run to the end, run right before the end zone and drop the ball and fumble it.
31:04
It's the worst thing because you're going to lose it anyway.
So just I'm telling you, this is exactly why less business, more mindset, stronger mindset.
We go into business with a completely different attitude.
I could tell you the difference between when I have my morning rituals, my strong morning rituals and my my learning in my class.
31:25
I'm it's the clarity.
I have boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Do this, do this, do this.
I can manage so much more the days that I don't, it's a whole different world, the same problem.
It looks 10 times heavier where in a, in a good day, that situation, OK, let's fix it.
31:41
Fix this for the it's not a problem.
What's the solution?
Because the difference is when you have trust in God, you put 95% on the solution, 5% on the problem.
When you don't trust in God, you're putting 95% on the problem and 5% on the solution.
31:56
And think about how that works.
So I'm just telling you on my practical level of doing business, and I run many companies and this, this teachings are 100% right.
This is exactly why you see this podcast being done this very early in the morning.
We do it very early in the morning because we practice what we preach.
32:12
We we learn, we study, we get into a good mindset, then we have the blessing of going to work, not the opposite.
Go to work putting on your to fill in at 11:00 between a business meeting and all that.
It's not, it's not, that's not the method.
You should never eat or pray or do business before you pray.
32:30
You should not because now it's you're sort of taking something.
You're taking something before it's time.
You're taking something before it's time.
And when you eat before you pray, you're also you're satisfied.
You're not as hungry when you pray.
You need to be lacking.
32:47
The person pray is to lack.
I need help.
I need help.
I have a sense of urgency.
Oh, I just had a Big Breakfast.
Where's your lack?
Obviously the only thing you liked is a Pepto, Pepto Bismol.
That's what you lack, but you're not going to be as when a person eats, he's sort of satisfied.
33:04
He's not going to put his energy into that.
He's not going to put his energy.
But when a person's hungry, he has a much more sense of urgency and a much more focus than than not.
Coffee you can have drink you can, you can, but you should not eat or say, just consider eating.
It's like taking, it's like taking blood before it's time.
33:22
It's it's not, it's you're not as sharp on the clock.
So remember, recalibrate with different energy.
Always ask yourself, how am I showing from one to 10?
How am I showing up to work today, 1:00 to 10:00?
Ask yourself, what's my level of trust in God today?
33:37
You know what's my level?
If it's three worry obsessed, you know, you need to recalibrate.
You need to recalibrate.
Stop working, take a break, take a break.
This is what we call a time out in life.
You know the team's losing time out.
Time out.
How are we showing?
33:52
Why do teams call a time out?
Because they're getting blown away.
Time out, recalibrate, come back with a different strategy.
We also have to take a time out and sometimes when we see the energy going the wrong way.
So remember, it's your energy bringing you the problem, not the problem that's destroying your energy.
34:10
Remember that line?
It's your energy bringing you the problem.
It's not the problem bringing you the energy.
Completely opposite of what the world's telling you.
I'm stressed because of this problem.
This deal is not closed.
You lack trust in God.
You lack trust in God.
Because if you lack trust in God, it would come to you in exactly in its time and exactly.
34:27
And if it didn't come to you, it's for your best.
It's for your best because maybe something would have happened.
You understand, we surrendered the form member.
When we are in this level of consciousness in life, we are surrendering the form and the timing the form, how it's going to happen, when it's going to happen.
34:43
We're just, we're putting ourselves in a very energetic state of bitachon, which means our, we believe 100% certainty it's going to work out, but we don't know the timing of it and we don't know the way it's going to happen, how it's going to happen.
We don't know that, but it will happen because of that.
35:01
Our sages tell us, even a person who's a robber and he has trust in God, he will succeed.
Even if you're a crook, you will succeed if you have trust in God.
Believe it or not, that's the power of having trust in God.
That's the power of having certainty.
Have a great day.
35:17
What about like?
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
The class teaches that one should pray and study Torah immediately in the morning before going to business, because combining Torah and prayer brings down spiritual light and sharpens the mind.
Torah study must be balanced with business activity, since too much study without worldly engagement causes burnout and shatters the mind's capacity to receive light.
The stronger a person's trust in God and mindset, the less desperate effort they need in business, and the more they attract what is meant for them in its proper time.
Trusting in God grants clarity and vision, allowing a person to focus on solutions rather than problems, while lack of trust breeds worry, obsession, and withholding.
Giving charity is essential because it keeps money flowing and rectifies the soul, since money and the soul come from the same divine source.
The manna in the desert teaches that sustenance comes daily, and one must not bring yesterday's problems or blessings into today's dealings.
Effort in business always transfers, so a deal that fails is not wasted, and the energy invested will manifest in a future opportunity.
One should never commingle problems, such as mixing money with marriage, because the evil inclination seeks to swallow up all the good.
Summary:
This class discusses business dealings through the teachings of Rabbenu Ahmed, emphasizing that a person should pray and learn Torah immediately in the morning before engaging in business. This combination of prayer and study brings down spiritual light, sharpens the mind, and creates the proper mindset of trust in God. The speaker explains that Torah must be balanced with business, because too much study without worldly engagement leads to burnout and an overabundance of light that the mind cannot contain.
The core message is that trust in God determines success: the stronger the trust, the less desperate effort is required, and the more a person attracts exactly what is meant for them in its proper time. Trust gives clarity and vision, allowing one to focus on solutions rather than problems, while lack of trust produces worry, obsession, withholding, and panic. Charity is presented as essential because it keeps money flowing and rectifies the soul, since money and the soul share the same divine source.
The manna in the desert illustrates that sustenance comes daily and should not be hoarded or commingled with yesterday's issues. Effort in business always transfers, so failed deals are not wasted. The speaker urges listeners to recalibrate their energy, sharpen their saw through morning prayer and learning, and never bring low energy into business or relationships.
