Revisit: Your Business Is A Reflection Of You
Episode #635 One of the biggest positive shifts that can happen in a business is when its leaders commit to personal accountability. When leaders hold themselves to the highest standard, it naturally follows that they inspire everyone around them to that same height. By the same token, when your business isn't going well, that's often a reflection of what is going on for you. It is a reflection of how you live your life. It goes both ways. Look at the biggest complaints that you have in your business and in your relationship. Look at all Five Territories. You'll see that your complaints have a lot in common. Your staff, their attitudes, and the work environment are ultimately a direct reflection of you. In this episode, we are going to talk about standards and the idea of accountability - putting in the time, effort, and energy - and what you can do when your business is not working as it should. __________ Hungry for more?

Revisit: When Your Wife Doesn't Want To Spend Time With You
Episode #634 When you give up all respect for yourself, your family and your wife will not respect you either. You'll become increasingly defensive and needy, and your wife will simply, and rightly, spend less time around you. How can you fix this? One effective first step is to focus on becoming trustworthy. Be a man of your word. Stop breaking promises, with yourself and with your wife. Start small and restore that trust you once had. Get clear and admit where you are in all areas of your life. Work on reclaiming yourself first. Take care of yourself more than focusing on how to please your wife. In this episode, we are going to talk about some of the reasons why she doesn't want to spend time with you anymore, and how to get back to a place where you and your wife can genuinely enjoy each other's company. __________ Hungry for more?

Deflect the stress and the worries, tune out the outside influences, and be mindful of habitual behavior. Focus on being fully present. In this episode, we are going to talk about meeting your wife's needs, the definition of quality time, and how to provide quality time to your wife and family. __________ Hungry for more?
