Literally, the next day, we had concrete guys coming out to build up the forms. Yeah, to start with, you know, we had already cleared off that pad and everything. The pad was set. They were ready to put the forms on.

We're like trying to give them money and we couldn't. It wasn't working. Yeah, it wasn't working. So we literally had to like- That's what I'm saying.

So the very last organization that we gave to the campaign, they were just launching this campaign and we got a hold of them like at eleven forty five at night and happened to be a church in Austin. And, um, they said, um, yeah, we have this campaign. You're going to be the first ones to give into it. And we're like, okay, great. And so, you know, what, what do we send the money to?

And they told us, and they said, um, I said, so what's the name of your campaign? They said, all in. And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. This is like the last bit of money and it's all in. I'm like, that's amazing.

That's a new thing now, right? Yeah. Yeah. Doge the business. So if we have a different spin on it, instead of governmental efficiency, it's godly efficiency. Ooh, way better. Department of godly efficiency.

Yeah. So we have a workbook that people can buy. It's an upsell. We have a VIP, which people can become a member of during our launch. And both of those, we tell them that 100% of those proceeds from the workbook or from VIP go to one of our nonprofits. And so they know that going in.

And what the amazing thing is, though, is that every single company that comes to us comes through ClickFunnels. And so the platform that you guys built is the gateway that gets them to us.

I'm like, if that can change people's… It's not too late, by the way. We got it in the back of our mind.

2017.
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
Yeah. It's a great story. Um, you know, it started off with Stacy having a dream. And so one morning she woke up and, um, she felt like, uh, God had, uh, given her this new song to write. And, um, uh, well, can you tell the words?
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
And so we felt like the Lord was telling us that we needed to step away or she was feeling like the Lord was telling her that she needed to step away from our business that we had very successful business at the time. And so, um, I wake up, she tells me and she says, I think you're going to have to take over everything. You know, you need to do the sales, everything, you know?

So I'm usually the operations guy. And, um, and so I said, okay, you know, let's do it. And so she stepped away from that and I was just running our business and And a few weeks later, I felt like I had the same dream that she had, that it was like, no, it wasn't just for her. It was for both of you. And so we had bills to pay.

We had two teenagers, you know, and it was a significant amount of income that we had coming into our family. And to walk away from all of that and literally give everything away because that was the second part of it wasn't just step away from your business and stop generating income, but it was give away everything you have. And I was like, God, what does that look like?
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
And so a lot of people, it's hard for them to fathom, you know, especially in this day and age, because, you know, you read the Bible about the rich young ruler and where Jesus asked him to give everything away and to walk with him. And the rich young ruler said, I can't do that. And he went away sad. And so we don't know what would happen if he said, okay, I'll give away everything.

But I felt like that was a test for us. And, you know, I know it's not a test for everybody, but it was a test for us.
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
Right. The interesting was like during that season of time, like we had zero income coming in. Like we're trying to figure out how to pay bills because we had bills. Um, you live in your house. We had a mortgage. We had electricity, water, trash, food, everything. Yeah, we had the house up for sale and it wouldn't sell.
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
And that was like really frustrating too, because in the back of my mind, I was thinking, well, we have equity in the house and, you know, that could be our fallback and all that stuff, but it would not sell. And so literally we were living by faith for a month, a month, a month. And the interesting thing was, was he provided. Like he provided every single month. And so I would sell things.
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
You know, we had bills to pay. I would go up in the attic and say, we're not using this. I put it on, you know, whatever the eBay or whatever it is. And I'd sell it and have enough money to pay the bills for that month. And then next month would come. But then it got to one month where I was like, I don't have anything else to sell.

Like we sold everything unless we want to start selling our furniture that we use every day.

East Texas. I don't know the country.

And what was crazy, though, is like, I felt like he said at that point, he says, now will you trust me? Because like every single month, because he said, you know, think back, because at this time, we're like a year and a half into it. And he said, think back, have you ever missed a bill? Have you ever been late on a payment?
The Russell Brunson Show
Merging Faith, Business, and Generosity with Larry and Staci Wallace | #Success - Ep. 33
I was like, no, never been late on a payment, never missed paying a bill. And even when I thought that we were, he still provided.

You know, Russell, God brought us out of that season, right, obviously. And when he brought us out of that season, that's when we birthed Fueled by Fire, our coaching business. And he tremendously blessed that. And so we pay for everything in cash. We owe no man but to love him. You know, we don't have any debt or anything like that.

And fast forward a couple years later, so it was in October of 2023, Stacey wakes up in the morning. And so she has a habit every morning, we both do, that we say, good morning, Holy Spirit, what would you have of us today? And we wait to see what he has to say.

So, um, she felt like she heard, um, 10 out of 10, will you do it again? And she's like, God, what does that mean?
