You are seen as an expert in your field, and yet... something is missing. You can't put your finger on it, but you can't shake the feeling that this isn't how it's supposed to feel. You find yourself asking "is this all there is?" "Is this how it's supposed to feel?" The answer is no. There is so much more. YOU are so much more. You just haven't been shown the tools to access it...yet. We often feel unfulfilled even after all the achievements that we already have. It never satisfies us. We've already reached the destination but we still feel something is missing. The feeling of unfulfillment will result in continuous chasing. You keep on chasing without knowing what you really want. You must know first who you are, what you really want. Stop comparing yourself to other people and be secured about yourself. We often forget that the journey is more important than the destination. Reflect, learn and enjoy the journey because enjoying the journey and understanding who you are and what you want is what will give you fulfillment.

You Can Never Win An Argument With Your Wife

Episode #133 Do you argue a lot with your wife or your partner? Are you tired of arguing with her? Typically women argue to connect, while men argue to win which is why it's very difficult to win in an argument with your wife. Persuasive communication is the key to avoid being the bad cop in the conversation. If you do this, you will be able to not only get what you want in that situation but also get connection and intimacy with your partner during the communication. As a man, it is very more important that you validate what your partner feels, make her understand that she is your priority and that you don't want her to feel otherwise. Hold your ground and communicate calmly. State what you don't want and what you do want in that situation but at the same time, understand what outcome she wants in that situation so that she will feel seen, heard and understood. In order for you to be able to hold your ground in these situations, you must have a strong foundation first. Focus on yourself, know who you are as a man, and know that there is a powerful man inside you. What you will learn in this episode: The importance of having a strong foundation and being secure about yourself as a man. The importance of validating your wife's feelings and how.

She Won't Leave

Episode #132 Women nowadays don't need a man to provide for them financially. They need someone who can provide for them emotionally, someone who is man enough for her to feel safe and secured. Someone who is present, who takes care of himself, and his health and knows how to step up. As a man, we become very much confident that our wife will never leave us since we think that providing financially is enough to make them stay. We think that when we make more money, THAT is the time we will be able to enjoy life with our loved ones but we never feel like its enough, we always want to make more and as a result, we become slaves to our business. In this episode, we talk about how providing is more than just giving money, it is emotionally also. If you want to have deep intimacy in your relationship then you need to prioritize it and make your business serve your life, not the other way around. Women check out from the relationship because they feel that their partner left the relationship long before they do. Their husbands stopped becoming the man they married. The wife becomes a mother and the husband becomes a boy. To keep the relationship it is important to become the man you know you are capable of becoming. Improve yourself, learn how to switch off from work and be present in the relationship. Spend quality time with your wife, have good communication and you will become closer to each other. In this episode you will learn : The importance of being present in the relationship both physically and emotionally What will make her stay in the relationship The importance of proper communication in the relationship The importance of improving yourself and becoming the man that she married ————- Hungry for more?

"Every Time We Talk, We Argue"

Episode #130 Every relationship book, podcast, or video you consume tells you communication is key. That to get through your problems with your partner...you have to talk about it. But every time you try to talk to her, it seems like you end up arguing.  The good news is....there is another way. When we have problems in the relationship, talking about it sometimes will just make the situation even worse. As a man, we feel that it is an attack on our capabilities to provide and as a man.

Get out of that situation by focusing on building the connection first with yourself so that you will be able to build connection with your wife. You should reset and reclaim. Know yourself, understand what's going on inside you so that it will be easier to understand what your partner really needs from you. Have fun with yourself so that you will be able to have fun with your partner. Build a deeper connection with yourself and your wife and as a result, communication will become a lot easier.

I Don't Need to Date My Wife, We're Too Busy

Episode #129 When was the last time you took your wife on a date? Without actively dating your wife, you won't be able to build and grow a deeper connection in the relationship. Typically, we become too busy making money to provide all the needs of our family that we often forget to plan a date night with our wife. This will often result in feeling guilty for not being able to give the attention that our partner needs, which is why we resort to an alternative. We buy expensive gifts for her in order to make up for those missed date nights but that's not a true connection she's looking for. Because of this, the disconnection becomes bigger and soon you will realize that your relationship is slowing drifting apart. In this episode, we talk about how to work on yourself to have the energy you need to truly nurture your relationship. Prioritize your relationship with your wife. Date her the way you dated her even before your marriage and make her feel special. Dedicate a space and time to connect with her without mentioning anything about business.
