What’s The Most Effective Way To Increase Your Income?
Today, I’m starting a new 3-part series on causing your finances to Overflow.
My goal?
· I want to see you with zero debt.
· I want to see you promoted in your jobs.
· I want to see you earn more than enough money to do the good works that God wants you to do.
· I want to see you prosper in your finances so that you can prosper the people God sends into your life.
I’m not just saying these words. I’m prophesying. In my mind, it’s a done deal. This will happen. I’m declaring to you words of blessing. If you agree with these words and receive it, then it is a done deal. This will indeed happen.
I have an announcement to make: God isn’t against the idea of wealth. In fact, He was the one who gave you the ability to produce wealth. The Bible says, But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth… (Deuteronomy 8:18)
So here’s my message today: Use that ability.
Note. God didn’t just give us wealth, He did something far better. He gave us the ability to create wealth.
I was talking to a very rich man. I asked him, “If you lost everything—your properties, cars, investments—all your wealth… How long before you can rebuild your wealth to where it is today?”
He thought about it for a few seconds. He then looked at me straight in the eye and said matter-of-factly, “Five years.”
Wow.
Here’s the truth. Your real wealth isn’t cash, houses, or stocks. Your wealth is your ability to create wealth.
I repeat. Use your ability!
How Do You Create Wealth–Naturally?
I’ll be giving a controversial talk today, so be ready to be shocked.
There are many ways to create wealth.
But the easiest, most effective, most powerful, most prolific, and most natural way of creating wealth is to answer God’s call for your life. This call is based on your unique, tailor-fit, God-appointed gift that He wants you to give to the world. To me, that’s the only way to create financial overflow.
I know what you’re thinking. “Bo, this is the height of heresy. This is insanity. What you’re saying is a sacrilege! God’s call has nothing to do with money. It’s about serving others.”
Exactly! You see, a good business is not about money. To me, business is about serving others. Business is about mission. Business is about blessing people. Business is about love.
Let me give you an analogy: If you want a cup to overflow, put it directly under an open faucet. Do that and the water overflows in the cup. But if you put the cup on the far right or far left, it won’t overflow.
In the same way, you need to stay under the faucet of God’s call for your life. If you stay under that call, I believe that your financial life will overflow. But if you stray away from your call, you may never experience financial overflow in your life.
Let me tell you my story…
It Was Under Our Noses—And We Didn’t See It
In the prehistoric era of the 1990’s, I met my small team in Shepherds Voice Publications. During the early years, we were literally giving away Kerygma magazine. We reasoned that no one would buy a religious magazine.
“We need more money,” I announced to our staff. We only had 5 employees then. “We need to buy computers. And an Apple computer and laser printer costs P300,000. Let’s list down how we can raise this money.” I got my pen and paper ready.
During that era, P300,000 was a gigantic amount of money—especially for a bunch of poor missionaries.
One of my team members raised his hand. “I’ve a great idea. Let’s just rob a bank. And our problems we’ll be solved in a day.”
“Very interesting,” I said, “but I think we’ll face two problems. First of all, my face is allergic to nylon stockings. Second, I’m not sure how our readers will react if they find out we’ll be publishing our spiritual magazines from prison.”
“How about if we just sell drugs?” someone else piped up. “I heard it’s a very profitable business.”
“Oh yes,” I said. “But I’m not sure. Imagine, our messengers will be distributing Kergyma and shabu at the same time… The products don’t seem to match. Can anyone please think of something legal?”
“I’ve got a brilliant idea,” one of them said. “Let’s produce a movie. Let’s make a money-earning, blockbuster, megahit, top-grossing movie. Did you hear that Tom Cruise’s latest flick earned $100 Million. But of course, instead of Tom Cruise, you’ll be the star…”
I said, “Well, I understand why you’re suggesting this. Tom Cruise and I have some similarities. But I will only allow this if it is written in the contract that I don’t do kissing scenes.”
Life Will Find A Way To Repay You
We wanted to raise funds and we didn’t know how. We didn’t know that the answer was right under our noses: Our gift of writing. Our gift of editing. Our gift of putting a magazine together. There was no need to rob a bank or sell drugs or make a movie. Because today, Shepherds Voice Publications sells P85 Million worth of inspirational literature every single year. (Note: We’re a non-profit organization, so we use our profits for ministry.)
Let me repeat my message: The best way for you to create wealth is to answer God’s special call based on His Divinely-designated gift for your life.
Stay directly beneath the faucet!
But when you serve others with all your heart, life will find a way repay you. As long as you don’t prevent the financial blessings from flowing to you, you’ll be amazed at how your financial rewards will come flowing into your life like the waves of the sea.
Why You’re Not Prospering
“But Bo, I’ve been answering God’s call, serving others by using my gift. But I’ve not yet increased my income…”
There are two common reasons why you don’t see increase:
First, wrong beliefs.
Second, wrong strategy.
1. Wrong Beliefs
Once upon a time, I thought God wanted me to be poor. Because of this, I frowned upon Entrepreneurship.
But Jesus talked about Entrepreneurship.
He talked about a man who had three servants. Before leaving for a journey, he gave 5 bags of gold to the first servant, 2 bags of gold to the second servant, and 1 bag of gold to the third servant.
When the master returned, the first servant said, “I invested the 5 bags of gold you gave me; here are 5 more bags…”
The second servant said, “I invested the 2 bags of gold you gave me; here are 2 more bags…”
And then the third servant said…
I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’ “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant!” (Matthew 25:25-26)
What I’m about to say isn’t the main message of the parable. But it’s still in the story: That profit is encouraged. (And NOT profiting is condemned.) Investing is encouraged. Business is encouraged. Selling is encouraged. (How did those guys double their investments if there was no selling involved?)
But in religious circles, it’s the other way around. Profit, business, and selling are frowned upon as materialistic.
Some religious leaders, however, are getting it…
What Kind Of Vow Should You Make?
Last week, a priest came up to me and said, “Bo, I like reading your financial books. Because your books are slowly correcting my thinking about money. You see, when I was in the seminary, I was taught that poverty was desirable. I was taught people should be happy with poverty. I was taught that it was a sin to desire to become rich. But I now realize that this kind of thinking was for celibate priests like me, not for people I preach to every Sunday…”
I couldn’t agree more.
The vow of poverty is a very high call from God for a tiny segment of the Church—such as celibate priests and nuns. It’s a very heroic call. But this segment is not even 0.0001% of the world’s population. (There are only 400,000 priests and 800,000 nuns around the world.)
To the 0.0001% of the population (religious celibates), God is calling them to the vow of Poverty. To the 99.9999% of the world (that’s us), God is calling us to the vow of Generosity. The vow of Surplus. The vow of Abundance. The vow of Prosperity.
I believe that God is calling you to give your special gift to the world and receive financial abundance in return—so that you can be a channel of blessing to others.
Yes, you have a special call in your life.
God has given you a special call to serve others in a specific way. Perhaps your special gift is to cook. To manage. To listen. To sing. To dance. To draw. To design. To compute. To plan. To repair. To organize. To sell.
If you want to increase your income, answer God’s call. Because this is themost natural way for you to earn a profit.
Profit Is Sacred
For many people, business and profit are dirty words.
Friend, banish this kind of thinking or money won’t come.
For me, profit is sacred.
Why? Because the purpose of profit is to serve more. Because with profit, you can improve your product. And you can create more products. And you can even create new businesses to serve more people.
Let me give you an example.
In 1990, when we were giving away Kerygma magazine for free, we only impacted at most 6000 readers. But when we started selling the magazine, we gained the financial muscle to reach millions people with God’s Love—through our magazines, books, internet, TV, Radio…
I Was Poor Because I Wanted To Be Poor
Perhaps you were like me in my early years as a missionary.
I didn’t want money. So money didn’t come to me.
My special gift is to speak and write. That is God’s special call for my life. But for almost 20 years, even if I was using both gifts to the hilt, I remained poor. Why? Because I wanted to be poor. All those years, I blocked the flow of financial blessings that God wanted to give me. Because I defined myself as poor.
But when I hit 30 years old, when I knew I was going to get married, I hit my turning point.
I realized I couldn’t tell my kids, “Children, be happy that I can’t send you to school because your Daddy has no money. We’re suffering for Jesus…”
Also, I saw so many needs in the ministry, I wanted to be a help, not a burden. My favorite fantasy was seeing a ministry need and pulling out my wallet to fund it.
For the first time in my life, I decided to become rich—for the purpose of blessing more people. I set a goal. I committed myself to make it happen.
Which brings me to the second block to creating wealth…
2. Wrong Strategy
I threw away all abandon and dove head first into all sorts of businesses. I sold engine oil, memorial plans, squid balls, ice cream, and hotdog sandwiches. Thankfully, most of these businesses failed gloriously.
Yes, I removed my wrong thinking.
But I was still poor! Because I had the wrong strategy.
After praying to God asking Him how I could prosper, I realized none of these businesses were using my special gift. (Goodness, what did I know about engine oil and memorial plans?) None of these businesses were about God’s special call for my life.
Don’t Compare Yourself With A Few
Super Entrepreneurs
Let me insert this here.
Sometimes, we meet a few rare individuals who are good in diverse businesses. So we think anyone can be like them. That’s not true.
I think these are mutants. Like X-Men. (My Business Mentor, Dean Pax Lapid, is one such super mutant. He builds one business a year in the most diverse fields. He has a fuel business, an IT business, a vegetable farm, a convenience store…)
These people are fantastic in any business because God’s special gift to them is business.
But for the rest of us, especially if you’re starting out, don’t stray away from your God-designated gift that He wants you to give to the world.
Now it’s also true that as you grow as an entrepreneur, you can do more varied things. (This year, I’ll be starting a new business selling USB drives. That has nothing much to do with my gift of communication.) But it takes time to do this.
So let me say it again: Stick to your gift.
Find A Monetizing Strategy For Your Gift
If I stuck with my gift (communication), I had a dilemma.
I only used it for ministry. And for most of my life, I gave talks for free. How could I monetize my anointing? (Asking that question felt so scandalous to me.)
It seemed impossible.
But I didn’t give up. I kept asking the question, “Lord, give me a monetizing strategy for my gift. Help me to earn money.”
What the Bible says is true: Ask and you shall receive.
I studied. I read. I got mentors. I became a sponge. And soon, I found the right strategy to monetize my special gift.
At that time, companies were already inviting me to speak.
And when they asked me to speak, they also asked for my speakers’ fee. So I told them my usual answer: I’m free. And they were happy.
When I did speak in their corporate events, usually held in 5-star hotels, I noticed that they paid everyone. They paid the hotel, the director, the lights, the sounds, the waiters—except me!
So I wondered—perhaps I could charge.
I still preached for free in prayer groups and in churches. But if big companies invited me, I charged an arm and a leg.
I first charged P10,000 per talk. I noticed the companies who were inviting me were still smiling. So I charged more.
I charged P20,000. And they were still smiling.
So I decided to charge P50,000. They weren’t smiling anymore. But they still kept on inviting me.
Today, I charge P75,000 for a talk and P150,000 for an out-of-town engagement. Some companies stopped calling me. But some companies still invite me. (Note: I donate my speaker’s fees for the ministry. I earn enough from my own businesses for my personal needs.)
What’s my point? That answering God’s special call for your life is the easiest, most effective way to create wealth for your life. You just have to find the right monetizing strategy.
Employee Or Entrepreneur?
I’ve got news for you: You’re an Entrepreneur.
Even if you have a job, you’re still an Entrepreneur.
How come? Because you’re the CEO of your own business, (1) where your service is your main product and (2) your first customer is the owner of the company that you’re working for.
The earlier you act this way, the more prosperous you’ll be.
Today, I want you to forget about job security. There’s no such thing as job security anymore. You’re only as good as your last performance.
But that’s okay!
Because the best employee has an entrepreneurial mindset. Even if he’s a janitor, he believes that he’s part owner of his company. In Tagalog, may malasakit. And so he’ll constantly find ways to save costs and earn profits for his company.
Guess what: That guy won’t be a janitor for long.
Because if his company won’t promote him, someone else will. You can’t put a good man down forever. The laws of this universe will see to it that he’ll get rewarded.
Money isn’t coming? Keep serving.
Today, I run 12 businesses.
Hear me out: It’s not about the money! It’s about serving people. It’s about giving my life to them and blessing their lives.
My 12 businesses are just 12 ways of serving others. But as I serve others, money comes to me. Because I’ve found 12 monetizing strategies for my gift.
I repeat: Life will find a way to repay you.
As you serve others with your all, and you remove wrong thinking and wrong strategies, the universe will come kneeling down at your feet, pleading with you, “Please, I beg you, receive these financial rewards…”
Let me share with you now 3 important “Things To Do” that we can pick up from the parable of Jesus above…
1.Risk Your Gold
Don’t be like that third servant. Don’t bury your gift. If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.
Go out into the world and share your gift.
Whether in a job or in a business.
Yes, it’s a risk.
People come up to me all the time and ask me, “But Bo, I don’t know my gift.”
Let me tell you why many people don’t know their gift. Because discovering your gift requires experimentation. Trying out. Going out on a limb. Risking!
“But Bo, what if people will reject my gift? What if people will laugh at me, ridicule me, call me names?
Can I assure you? Here’s my 100% guarantee: You will be rejected. You will be laughed at. You will be ridiculed. You will be called dirty names.
But there’ll be enough people who will accept you. There’ll be enough people who will like your product. There’ll be enough people who will love you and become your lifetime customer. And there’ll be enough people who will be willing to pay you for your service.
2. Reproduce Your Gold
If you don’t use your gift, you lose it. But if you use it, you reproduce it!
Don’t be content with just maintaining the special gift that God has given you.
Develop it. Expand it. Multiply it. Make it grow!
Be the best worker, electrician, engineer, mechanic, cook, speaker, writer, accountant, saleslady, farmer that you can become.
And do you know the best thing about growing? You inspire others to grow as well.
Being the leader of my community, I realized my finances are the lid to my members’ finances. Because I grew financially, I inspired many of my members to grow financially too.
Imagine for one moment that I was buried in debt. Imagine if I was broke. A broke person can’t lead another broke person to abundance. As Casey Graham would say, you won’t often hear a fat, 350-pound, preacher preaching against the sin of gluttony.
Friend, your finances may be the “lid” of the finances of the people around you. For their sake, grow your finances. Be a model others can follow. By your example, you can inspire others to grow in their finances too.
3. Return Your Gold
I find this detail in the story shocking.
The first servant was given five bags of gold. When he used it for business and made a profit of five more bags, he returned all ten bags to his Master.
The second servant was given two bags. And he did the same thing: When he earned two more bags, he also returned all four to his Master.
They gave back both the principal and the interest.
Message? You don’t own your wealth or the ability to create wealth. You don’t own your special gift, talents, and skills. All are borrowed from God. You’re merely a caretaker.
At the end of the day, we remain humble before Him.
Always ask the Owner how He wants you to use His wealth.
And you will be at peace.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Thank you bro!! =>
Thank you for the very inspiring, thought provoking and life-changing message Bro. Bo. All the more that I am inspired to look for my inner gifts and what God wants me to be. I hope I can also be a channel of blessing to the people around me. I do agree with you that when you are financially stable, you can give more and you can serve more. I will really find time to reflect on all these words, I hope and pray that I will find the right road where God wants me to be. Godbless to you and your family!

Thanks a lot for sharing this one!
To God Be The Glory!
God really does operate in mysterious ways… While I was driving, I was pondering why most of my friends rejected me while I am going about building my part-time business (I am still in the process of experimentation) and some lingering thoughts about my beliefs on money and profit. Thanks Bro Bo. You’ve solidified my belief system even more.
Thank you very much for inspiring me financially. God Bless You.
Very Inspiring indeed
Thank you sir Bo…
This is very inspriring and have to start to my week
right!…
GOD BLESS.
Thank you, Bro. Bo for another inspiring and enlightening article! I always learn something new, and get an Aha! moment every time I read your blogs. Like you said, I need to correct my beliefs, and use the right strategies. No wonder I’ve not been living the life I was dreaming of – I was not also using my abilities to the full. May this be the start of something better, something God has truly designed for me. Thank you and more power, Bro. Bo!
Thanks Bro. Bo. I love your talks about wealth.It’s refreshing and encouraging to hear that serving God wholeheartedly and having financial abundance can exist in harmony, and that Big Boss is pleased when His children live a life of financial abundance.
Very apt for my present situation…thanks Bo for always inspiring us with your sharing…God is Good, He brings the right people to a right situation in the most perfect timing ever..Cheers!
I was so blessed today brother Bo, and I wanna thank you for being a blessing to me personally..I’ve been reading your articles since college..from now on i want to change my way of thinking entrepreneur in my own talents and skills..thank you so much;-)
I foresee myself being rich…..but I really don’t how and when to start so im excited for the next article….thanks bo…
How do we know what is our gift / gold?
Sometimes I wonder - where in this whole, wide world are you getting these great, wonderful ideas?
And it dawned on me.
God will never leave His people.
He will always use someone to give hope, to inspire & to tell His flock that He is always there for us.
I’ll pray that you’ll always remain committed to His call & to His gifts for you Bro. Bo.
May God bless you, your family & all the people around you.
Bro , thank you for this inspiring message .
Another great message, Brother. One of the most difficult journeys for a person is finding his faucet. We’ve been conditioned for a long time to fix our low grades, fix our mistakes, fix our weaknesses thus we focus on our weakness instead of honing our strengths.
But once you find your faucet, you will truly overflow. Looking forward to the next articles in the series.
Dear Brother Bo,
Thank you for your prophesy! Thanks for truly believing in your readers. I can feel the sincerity that we too will become financially free. I’ll continue to have an abundant mindset after all the vow of abundance is encouraged!
Thanks Brother BO! I pray for your health always!
Cheers,
Joy Payumo
Brother Bo,
Well done again, Bravo! You are always an inspiration to us. You keep pushing and pushing our hearts to move on, use our talents, act now and do not delay. You are exactly right, we are just a caretaker. Thank you so much.
Cheers,
Nelda

I never get tired of reading your blogs Bro. Bo. You always make me smile and realize that our Lord God really has a special plan for each one of us. And using our unique gift to help others is just the starting point. God bless you always!
you always strike a chord in me. such a thought provoking article inspiring me to return back to my core.
thank you bro bo. you’re such an inspiration!
Bro Bo,
It is such a big risk for me to come out of my comfort zone and do some experimentation to discover my core gift/s, as I felt that so many are at stake. Thank God HIS using your every word to inspire me to persevere in search for my calling.
Bro. Bo,
From now on, i’ll come out in the open and be not like a turtle. I will search for my true calling, so that I can serve GOD, others, as well as my family.
Continue to inspire and serve people.
Thank you and GOD bless you and your family.
Thanks Bro Bo What a nice article again
Maybe the Church is partly responsible for encouraging the “Be Poor and God will reward you in heaven” mentality…..we need more people like Bill Gates who practices the 5%-95% Ratio….retain 5% of your wealth and give away the 95%….Bo knows exactly how the universe works….the more you give the more you will receive…it’s how God designed the law
“Business is Love.” I Love that line. This makes me rethink of how Love becomes my sacred business. Thanks, Bo.
Thank you Bo! But most of all, Thank you God!
Thank you Bro Bo. This is an awesome one, a very inspiring article….God will do the extra ordinary things in my life, in my family , in my business and soon, financial freedom will be ours….I will accumulate wealth because God gave me the authority to produce it…God Bless Us All.
thanks again, very timely for a person like me who is financially broke at this time, may God guide me in finding my gift and to serve and help others..
hello bro Bo..thanks a lot..very inspiring..dami ko natutunan..Godbless u more…
Bro. Bo,
thank you for another inspiring message.This encourage me to search God’s appointed gift that I will use to create abundance of wealth. may God always bless you to continue sharing inspiration to others.

thanks for a very encouraging and inspiring message.
You are a blessing.
God loves you.
Thanks bro Bo..you are a gift to the world! In my little way, i tried to relay your principles of entrepreneurship..share them to our Singles for Christ members here in Negros Occ. I tried to improve our biz as well..thanks for the inspiration.
God bless you, your family and co-servant leaders! To God be the glory..
i’m so inspired,,,tnx pastor bo…
Bro Bo, thank you for this post. It’s true that if we continue to keep our gifts, the Lord will take it away from us. if we do not use what is provided to us, not let it grow and inspire other people, we are becoming selfish and self-absorbed which do not comply with what Jesus has set as an example.
The wonders of life is truly infinite.
Dear Bo,
I have been inspired by your books and all and have even joined the “feast” for quite sometime.
Being a social butterfly and “Ms. Congeniality” I felt that my God-given talent has something to do with being with people, hence, I put up an events management. It started as a wedding coordinator having organized my siblings weddings and some of my friends’ wedding. I was even tasked to host office parties almost every year.
But since I started to make this a business endeavor, I never had a client. Not even one wedding. So, I ventured into seminars, unfortunately, I was terminated from work. Well, I was accused of using company time to follow my passion.
Now, I am more broke than before and confuse if this is what God really wants me to become. I don’t really know what my talent is except that I love being with people and I don’t know now if I could capitalized on that as a business venture.
I am now 40 years old, unemployed, up-to-my-neck indebted, deeply confused and still trying to find out what is my God’s given talent.
Just sharing my thoughts,
-Cassie
Hi brother Bo,
I have a friend from Singapore who wants to join Truly Rich Club. He is asking me what’s the difference between Gold and Super Gold membership?
Also, I have recently read a book by Robert Kiyosaki. He said rich people invest in the stock market with insurance. He mentioned some terms like “Options”, “Hedge Funds” and “Short”. Can you elaborate on these terms in your next Stocks Update or Wealth Strategies newsletter?
By the way, very nice blog as usual.
Thank you very much
- Dan
This was one of the best articles I read from you Bro. Bo. This is such inspiring. I want to be the rich because God wants me to be rich. And in return, I still have to attached to Him, but how? By serving Him and using the gifts that he gave me.
I’m just a care taker of his wealth, talent and skills.
I will allow this God-given talent to be used to glorify his name.
Whoa! I feel I am super blessed today. Thank you so much!
Thank you Bro. Bo for the inspiring words that you shared…
God is guiding me through you, Bro. Bo….I know that I will eventually learn to use my ability to create wealth in the right way…I’m actually having a dilemma because I thought God wants me to be contended with what I have but after reading a number of your articles I am slowly changing my mindset… Thank you and may God bless you and your family!
I want to attend on this seminar… I hope I could attend.
Hello,
I’m an ordinary employee here in the USA, have three grown up kids, two in college, paying student loans, credit cards,mortgage, etc. I’m 54 years old and have no savings for retirement living paycheck to paycheck.
I want to change my financial status to help others and also to prepare for my retirement. If I join the truly rich
financial, how does it work. Please help.
Hi Bo,

Hi Bro. Bo,
I found this email and read it all over again. I agree to everything you’ve said. However, I’m into debts and my monthly earnings is not even enough to pay my debts. But i would like very much to have odd jobs just to have some thing extra. But my time won’t permit me. I loan money to pay my debts and this has been a cycle. I would like to break this cycle and be prosperous too.
A big thanks Bro. Bo for your article! Keep inspiring people and God Bless =)

I’m on the application of some financial teachings, I pray to God that he may bless me and you so that we may able to serve more our family and our fellow men whome he entrusted to us everyday. May God bless us all !
Wrong beliefs and wrong strategies, very easy to remember. I had both (thank God this article reminded me again of my weaknesses). I’ve got wrong beliefs, because I believed that “wealth is only on the genes,” that I was born poor and I could not do much about it. I have also wrong strategies, I should have clear plans and not just wishing and expecting something for nothing. Until now and I believe for the rest of my life, I should fill my mind with the right beliefs and the right strategies so that I could be truly rich.
Just what my confused mind needed. Thank you sir Bo for this very interesting and inspirational article.
Hi Bo,
Thank you for the inspiring words. I know my gifts but there are other people who discourages me and the worse they pull down. What shall I do then? I want to be of service of others using my gifts and be able to earn from them.
Thank you and more power.
Thank you Bro. Bo for another inspiring article!^_^
I super love the interpretation of the parable: Risk your Gold, Reproduce your Gold and Return your Gold!
I agree that it’s not about the product but the producer. when worst thing happens, it all backs to zero. when you do great works it’s also because of your gift.
thank you for this inspiring post!
Mabuhay and God bless po!

As a college student/entrepreneur, I was indeed changed by the books and articles I read. Aside from Robert Kiyosaki, you are one of the people that really inspires me.
Though I still can’t find the right strategy to match the right beliefs I have, I will keep on learning.
Keep on inspiring, Coach Bo! I love this site. =)
And now i’m super inspired to save. But i know someday, i’ll have my own business. Just taking one step at a time. Thanks for the inspiring articles.
