The Only Two Things We Can Control As We Follow

the 3 Steps to Success

KevinKneblKevin Knebl is back for the third time on the Eternal Leadership Podcast. And when you listen to this episode, you’ll know why John, Steve, and Sandra want him back again and again. This is one of the most equipping, powerful conversations on the podcast, according to John.

Since Kevin openly stated that he dislikes complexity, he shared his “simple” principles that guide all his decisions in various aspects of his life.

My function is to be the presence of love in an often dark world. Kevin Knebl

He laid out the 3 (not 2, not 4) steps between where you are now and where you want to be in terms of success:

  1. You have to have the ability to identify the individuals that are either in a position to do business with you or refer business to you.
  2. You have to have the ability to start a conversation with those people in a manner that does not get the door slammed in your face.
  3. You need a simple method to stay top of mind in a way that’s not slick, salesy, awkward, or creepy.
I have no interest in living. I have deep interest in being lived through. Kevin Knebl

Kevin touched on the topic of stress, stating that it is never due to an external situation.

Stress is nothing more than an indication that you believed your own thinking. Kevin Knebl

Kevin also challenged anyone who could disprove his claim that there are only 2 things that you can control: your work ethic and your attitude.

I can’t control the rain, the sun, or the harvest, but I can control how many seeds I plant and the attitude with which I plant them. Kevin Knebl

Kevin divulged an “extremely radical” thought process that he thinks might ruffle the feathers of some Christians. He never asks for anything, except…

God, please remove from my vision anything that limits my understanding of how blessed I really am. Kevin Knebl

The entire episode is loaded with gems of wisdom. It is definitely worth listening to multiple times.

You are love in seemingly human form. Kevin Knebl
