we're on our second segment of talking
about practical tips to make a more
meaningful shops plan now before you
stop your plan you got to have the whole
picture and then decide how am I gonna
start my plan now there are different
ways to do this if you're a family you
may want to start with a family meeting
or sometimes you'll have some people in
a family that are against you bring them
to the meeting they get a mess the
meeting to be critical cynical so you
might want to work just with two or one
another individual in the family that
works
I'm just work with one one on one the
camera meeting with them and if you're
alone you may need a meeting with
yourself but everyone should have a
serious meeting with a pen and paper map
you add a little bit of a plan what do I
plan on doing in my general goal where
am I trying to get to and what are my
steps together and like every meeting
you have shareholders and the
shareholders have different languages
some of them are there for the money so
I'm not there for the prestige and you
have to talk their language so you sit
together with a whole family and you
have to talk their language they're the
little kids who enjoy fun they enjoy kin
you got to talk to their language they
are some of the only ones that enjoy
meaning some of them enjoy prestige some
of them enjoyed feeling important and
you have to cite each one what is their
way and what can I do how do I talk to
them what can they contribute to the
general Shabbos picture if you're alone
four shots
then you gotta talk to yourself to do
yourself every single person has many
many meetings within them I have a need
for fun I have a need to enjoy food and
I need to relax I have a need to feel
fulfillment
I haven't need to be involved in
something in projects you have to
identify those five people with inside
of Uganda those five feelings and
emotions and it's a one second each one
I can grab him with a little bit of food
a little bit better food I could grab
him but getting him involved in the
project
and bring it all together to make a new
Shabbos revolution as we say in the zone
Shabbos revolution I want to make a big
change extremely important don't force
especially in this situation in the
situation where were all high-strung
we're not going to be educating our
children when you're upset and you're
not as strong it's not education it may
be first aid but it's not education it's
not gonna have a lasting effect so it's
gotta be set in the committee in a calm
setting steak dinner and a walk in the
park something relaxing and then you can
talk it out and make a plan as in every
meeting you're trying to sell a product
and you have to describe what's in it
for me - all of your own shows again
every child you're selling the product
you're not forcing you're trying to get
somebody and the main goal here I
believe in a family
[Music]
is not for you to run the shop the main
goal is to get other people to buy into
shouts buy into the project and the
ownership of different parts of the
project so you're looking at every
single person family what part of my
Shabbos of their shoppers of our shops
would talk to this person then they can
take ownership of that part it might be
thinking before Shabbos I might be
preparing a barter preparing a story it
might be setting the table as we talk
about different practical tips but
you're looking at everybody and saying
how can I get the buy-in from the whole
entire family she want to share with you
a story about a belief that my rabbi
shared with our community the Thule
paceline say on the circumstances your
piece that we have all kinds of forests
all kinds of mahogany we scrub the walls
we take a toothbrush and a washing out
the rules what you said that's not time
now we just have to focus on making a
pleasant time we have to keep the show
Canara but keep it Pleasant and he said
a story about all the ashes about
leadership the leader of the generation
his wife had a baby right before Pesach
he gathered his family together he says
this year we're having a hell of a pass
on keeping the whole office but all the
extra homers were not doing because mama
it's tired
Mama's not well you can't do those
things and we have to keep a happy pace
so we want to focus on keeping a happy
exciting Shabbos that everyone could
look for it and of course once you have
this general plan and you're ready for
this meeting it's worth it like every
good idea to have a roll out a rule that
means just a fanfare you know just make
things exciting the first time we're
starting our Shamas revolution on
Shabbos project we're gonna have a
special dinner and special even during
the week I went out we're gonna have a
special decorations all four parts just
to get the excitement
the who blah-dee just the feeling that
things are changing things are exciting
and the helped start the ballroom this
section would like to talk about one of
the most important parts of making a
great shot and that is making a great
week leading up the shouts we all know
that's a mitzvah every single day to
count after shot Harriette we count
phase one day towards showers 10 days
towards shots one year in camp we had a
whole song three more days till job is
just announced extreme with these two
showers I can't wait going in this storm
did someone just every time does it say
like mind it I was in the store the
other day
gushers on sale come running into the
house got got shoes for Shabbos and
that's the midst of the room tomorrow
talks about it you find something but
you save the Shabbos and the next day
find something very self care like this
today but this will be the showers and
this will be the Shabbos and that will
be the Shabbos she the whole week look
what I bought for Shabbos I found ice
cream cake I did this I found this a
huge national flavor of gushers bring it
in for coffee shop Scottish now here's
another great idea depending on the
family Sunday chalkboard writing tablet
we ideas what's gonna be the theme of
the shots
what's the parish of out we'll look at
the power show and make something
special Sunday were already planning
what way they're special everyone of the
family gives an idea and then we vote on
the ideas someone wants a parish your
cake how she cakes a fantastic I'll
purchase it a kick that's related you
decorate the cake something related to
do it the part you can do money buddies
you can do one rice krispies treats to
do with the passion anything just
decorated them during the week okay so
what do we have to buy we have to buy
rice krispies we gotta buy a marshmallow
fluff we're busy with this okay we're
gonna write down a list give one of the
kids that idea
your job is to write that list what we
need and make sure we put it in online
you put it in the basket you find
exactly what we need everyone's about if
you're into baking baking some correctly
to get children about there's so many
things that a seven-year-old can get
involved in making the Duncan Hines cake
rice krispies treats marshmallow rice
krispies muddy buddies you know the
little stuff with the kicks you put them
in a big get your fingers you put it on
long as you get it all you lick it off
chocolate everywhere it's great we're
going to talk about Chavez games having
special games that you only plan on
Shabbos sit down with the kids watch of
in John's game we have one who's shamans
game in two teen weeks
let's do another shadows game great but
you gotta remember one thing any
investment is it across two things it's
gonna cost the money usually that's the
cost time any investor you want to
invest in Chavez time and money as with
bringing the family together connecting
you to yourself connecting you Tasha
