Revisit: Are You A Deer?
Episode #410 Are you confident about your decisions? Are you insecure and worried about not getting approval from your wife? Unknowingly, men can become the beta in the relationship, especially when women start to make demands or test their partner. Men become more submissive. This is when the DEER appears: Defending, Excusing, Explaining, and Rationalizing. You only do that with someone you are subordinate to. If a man can effectively validate his wife, complaints will become a lot less frequent because she already feels seen and heard. There's no need for the DEER, just live your own passion, and follow your purpose. In this episode, you will learn how to get rid of the DEER in the relationship, and more about the importance of validation in lessening complaints from your wife. __________ Hungry for more?

Revisit: How To Be A Magnetic Leader At Home And In The Office
Episode #404 What makes a great leader in business AND at home? A great leader is a person that is always in the front drawing their team to where they are going to and inspiring others through their action and their communication. The first step to becoming a great leader is to take inventory of yourself. The best way to do this is to have smart people around you give you honest feedback. You need to understand where you are succeeding and where you are failing both as an individual and a leader. Once you have that feedback, you then get to take massive action and be the inspired leader that you know you can be. You get to take care of yourself and put yourself first. When you are sacrificing yourself for others, that will put a lot of pressure on your life. The secret to being a great leader is to be a great self-leader first. __________ Hungry for more?
