Relationship Advice & A Proven Formula for Success, with Beth Hanishewski,
Have you ever received relationship advice that is so simple and easy to implement that it seems too good to be true? Energy + Value + Currency = Happiness! In this episode, David T. S. Wood and his guest, relationship guru Beth Hanishewski, discuss this proven formula that can help you find happiness and hope in your relationships. If you want to learn more about this formula, this episode is a must-hear! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... A relationship formula that works Identifying your partner's energy Figuring out what they value most What your partner's love "currency" is Beneficial questions to ask your partner Relationship advice and homework to help you get started How to recognize your energy Think of energy in 4 quadrants: feminine light, feminine dark, masculine light, and masculine dark. These names aren't speaking to gender classifications but rather the characteristics that accompany different types of energy. For example: Feminine light: emotional, spontaneous, inspired, collaborative, and nurturing Feminine dark: spiteful, whiny, manipulative, hysterical, and submissive Masculine light: logical, competitive, focused, loyal, and present Masculine dark: closed, grumpy, controlling, and violent Now, think about how your energy changes when you're around this person. When you think about that person, do you feel yourself anticipating their energetic effects on you? What energy makes you feel your best? Try to pinpoint that feeling to focus on when you're around that person. When you change your energy, you may see a shift in theirs as well! The secret to nurturing their values Have you taken the time to consider what your person values most in life? Their values are the unconscious, intangible things they hold highest in their life. If you aren't aware of their values, you could be unintentionally robbing them of the most crucial elements in their life. The feminine tends to value safety the most, which includes physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, sexual, and even financial matters. When you do or say something that makes them feel unsafe, you will be able to see their energy change. If you're not sure if you're affecting them, ask! Once you know, talk with them to see what you can do to help them feel safer. The masculine values freedom, including their time and energy. Do you ever tell your partner to do something with the expectation they do it right away? Consider giving them the time to decide when and how they'll do it instead. Identifying their "currency" In the relationship formula, currency is how you show your person you care. Some examples of the different types of currency are: Feminine: safety, connection, and protection Masculine: freedom, appreciation, and trust When both sides of the relationship are paying out the right type of currency, you will achieve that perfect connection. You can then work towards creating synergy to see who they truly are, instead of criticizing them for their flaws. Be sincere in how you work towards your happiness, and the results will speak for themselves! Relationship advice to help you move forward When used correctly, the relationship formula results in happiness and hope for yourself and your relationship. But, if you take away any of the pieces, you could see the energy shift back into the dark/negative zone. If you aren't sure where to start, ask your partner these simple, but effective questions: "How can I love you better?" "What do I do that pushes you away?" "What do I do that pulls you closer?" Take responsibility for your actions and forgive yourself and your person for not knowing better. When you're in your light, everything around you is affected. But, when you move into the dark, everything around you becomes INFECTED. HOMEWORK: Apply the formula to your relationship, note what happens, and see how it changes things for you. Focus on keeping your energy positive, shower your partner with the currency that means the most to them, focus on the values they crave, and don't set any expectations. Expectations are the thief of joy. Going first isn't easy, but the most important influence in a relationship is YOU!

The Power Couple Shares How They Succeed "Together", with Kyle & Megan Nekrash
When you hear the term "working couples," what comes to mind? Is it two people who work in different careers? Do you think of a couple who own a business together? Maybe you think of two people working side-by-side in an office with a common goal? In this episode of My Extra Mile, David T. S. Wood's guests, married couple Kyle and Megan Nekrash, have worked together for many years and are familiar with the struggles you may be facing. In this episode, they share their insights into working with your spouse, sharing your vision with a partner who doesn't get it, and overcoming obstacles together! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Figuring out how to get your spouse to see your vision A realistic timeline to success and the work it takes to get there The truth about residual income Tips to help you work together successfully Making time for yourself and your partner A working couple's tips for success How to help your partner see your vision Do you feel like your partner just isn't getting it? You see a vision of what this business can do for your lives, but your spouse doesn't see the big picture. Kyle went through the same thing when he was just getting started. After years of saying "no," he went to an event where everything finally clicked. But not for his wife, Megan! To help her see the big picture, he did the work to show her the impact it could have on their lives. He's a big believer in "show, don't tell," and did his best to show Megan how drastically different their lives could be with network marketing. By proving to her that it was worth his time, she eventually had her "Aha" moment, where everything finally clicked. Megan's tips for other non-believing spouses are to have patience with your partner, do your best to understand everything, and gain some knowledge so you can see how your dreams change too. A realistic success timeline and the truth about residual income It took Kyle and Megan 5 years to go from non-believers to cumulative million-dollar earners in network marketing. But, it's important to remember that every success story is a little different because every couple and individual has different skills they are bringing to the table. Through hard work and sacrifice, they were able to build a life they love with enough time to do things they enjoy. With residual income, you're ALWAYS going to have to work to maintain your income. There is a myth in network marketing: once you get the customers and build the team, you can sit back and earn without doing any more work. But in reality, your income will always fluctuate. Just like your life changes frequently, your clients and team members will go through changes too. If you don't put in the work to support and listen to them when they struggle, you may lose their business for good. A working couple's tips for success All relationships are challenging at times, but when you add a business to the equation, things can get complicated. Kyle and Megan have been there and want to share their tips to help you work together successfully: Find the best way to communicate with your partner and try to stick to that method Schedule time together to talk about your lives Don't give up on each other If you disagree and feel the argument escalating, take some time to cool down before continuing Regularly review your short, mid, and long term goals together to stay aligned Acknowledge each other's efforts and be appreciative Try not to compare yourselves to each other or set expectations Tell your kids what you're doing so they get where your time is going and why Create a vision board to remind yourself and your family why you're doing this Create daily practices or rituals for yourself and as a couple Go on dates The journey will be long and success won't happen overnight. Developing your business will take time but when you hold on to each other and respect each other's roles in the partnership it will be easier to focus on your goals. Stay aligned and find a new way to find joy every day!

Get from Where You Are, To Exactly Where You Want to Be with Janey Snelgrove
It can be easy to lose track of your goals and fall into a downward spiral of debt when you don’t believe in yourself. In this enlightening episode, David T. S. Wood and his guest, Janey Snelgrove, talk about the power of belief and how to create a vision of the life you want. Janey also shares a hands-on activity you can do with your family to unite your vision and your efforts, and help you reach your goals together. If you’re ready to change your life and rediscover your personal belief as a network marketer, this episode is a must-hear! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Growing yourself to grow your potential Creating a vision board to keep you focused on your goals Discovering how to believe in yourself and your dreams Identifying your limiting beliefs Learning how to manage your income from day one What is your vision for the future and how do you get there? Janey is a believer in the power of a clear vision. Try out her vision board exercise with your family to create your own set of specific goals and dreams. Permit yourself time to dream about your wants and be specific about what would bring you the most joy in every area of your life. What is important to you? What do you want most? (Family time, relationship building, exotic trips, dream home, income goals, etc.) What words can help you gain clarity as you set your goals? What are your financial goals? What are your health goals? Once you’ve identified these goals clearly, place your vision board somewhere you will see it daily to keep you focused and motivated. Once you’ve started to reach some of those goals, or if your goals change (which they should!) create a new board or update the one you have to keep it relevant. Learning how to believe in yourself and your business Your journey and your upbringing influence your understanding of business and finances. What are your beliefs in money, and what is your knowledge of how to manage it? Do you believe that you have to work hard to earn money? Have you been told it’s the root of all evil? These sabotaging thoughts can make you question your business decisions. Your upbringing has developed a default blueprint of your thoughts, feelings, and actions surrounding everything you do in your life. By identifying the unproductive parts of your blueprint, you can rewrite them to stay focused on the life you want. How to manage your income from day one When you have a job and a network marketing side hustle it can be tempting to overspend and end up in the same financial situation you’ve been working to escape. Revisit why you took on your side-hustle in the first place and create a clear vision of where you want your money to go. Once you see that path, do the work to make sure that you reach your end goal! The myth about residual income is that you do the work once and then keep earning, even while you sleep. But in reality, you have to keep working to maintain your ideal income. Your side hustle is a real profession and should be treated with the same amount of effort you invested at the start. You have to keep working, building, and learning to keep it producing. Janey’s final thoughts are that when you’re digging yourself into a financial hole, figure out what led you there and then choose to stop the bad habits. Stopping habits is just as important as starting them, so by making this change you will be back on track towards your goals!

Should You Trust Your Gut to Make Big Decisions? with Kyle Nekrash, Ep #9
When it comes to network marketing, it can be challenging to know when to trust your gut and make a commitment to an unknown path. Kyle Nekrash is no stranger to the thrill of needing to make a quick decision and often follows his gut not only in business but through every adventure he takes. In this video conversation, Kyle and David T. S. Wood discuss the “you’re kidding me” moments that have defined their journeys and taught them valuable lessons throughout their lives. Kyle’s story is full of passion, hard work, and lessons learned. He has discovered that by using his head, heart, and gut, he can navigate each phase of his life confidently and faces all challenges with a “just do it” attitude. If someone has done it before him or if there is a lesson to learn to teach others, he will face it head-on. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Finding the courage to take a risk Pinpointing the “You’re kidding me” moments in your life, and how they’ve influenced you Learning how to develop trust and confidence in others Navigating your inner elevator to decide when to trust your head, heart, or gut Defining which opportunity works best for your circumstances Getting back to a heart of gratitude and making meaningful connections with people What is a “You’re kidding me” moment and how does it influence your actions? Have you ever experienced a scary, embarrassing, frustrating, exciting, or challenging moment in your life that left you exclaiming, “You’re kidding me!” Kyle defines these moments as opportunities to learn more about yourself. They can have a lasting effect on your development and can make significant changes to your personality. The moment you decide to do that scary thing or shift your actions to adjust after an embarrassing moment, you start developing characteristics that can help you face anything confidently. That moment of fear leading up to a new experience and the happiness you experience afterward can help build your confidence to take the next risk. Kyle and David encourage you to keep getting back up every time you fall because this proof of your resilience can help inspire others to follow in your footsteps. When to trust your gut in the decision-making process Kyle uses an elevator to illustrate our internal decision-making process: In the head, you can be easily influenced, persuaded, or swayed based on facts. While this is a valuable tool, it can lead to decisions you may not agree with. Your heart syncs with your emotion. Your head and heart don’t always agree, so it can be misleading to use your heart as a guide. But your gut rarely makes a mistake. Stemming from your instincts, which develop over time, your gut is usually the best guide for difficult decisions. When you’re embarking on a new journey in life or starting a new business venture, your brain may try to stop you from taking action by reminding you of all the financial or emotional consequences that may follow. In your heart, you may feel the pull to do it for the chance to succeed, but your head may be clashing with that desire. Ultimately, your gut is what leads you to decide when it’s time to take action. How to practice a heart of gratitude In times of struggle, it can be easy to lose track of the importance of connecting with others and sharing your experiences. You never know the impact your story could have on inspiring others, so follow your gut and learn when it’s the right time to share your story. If someone influences you and helps you along the way, take the time to practice gratitude regularly and, when possible, share your appreciation face to face. There’s no right or wrong way to approach a new opportunity. Find a way to make it work for you and trust your gut to know when to take action. Whatever decisions you have in front of you will provide an opportunity for you to learn (whether positive or negative) and can help guide you to the next right thing. Be open to all offers in front of you and trust your gut to know when to take action!

Navigate Your Path to Ultimate Success
When it comes to personal growth, David T. S. Wood's guest, Lisa DeMayo, is an expert on the journey one must take to achieve success. To date, both she and David have spent countless hours taking classes, studying resources, and training with experts in their field. Why? Because they feel that the people, they mentor deserve a leader who has been in the trenches and can relate to whatever struggles come with the business. David and Lisa both understand what it takes to become an expert in the network marketing industry. What steps are required to get you on your way to achieving the lifestyle you crave? In this powerful episode, Lisa dives deep into the path she has paved, and shares some life-changing tips you can put in place to reach whatever goals you may have. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Looking at your journey to appreciate the personal growth you've experienced so far Discovering the root of your limiting beliefs so you can start to move past them Finding the best coaches and mentors Tips to help you decide which network marketing company is the right fit A bonus assignment to help you find your path An expert look at what makes an effective coach If you were to go to your favorite search engine right now and type in "network marketing coach" or "lifestyle coach," you will receive a mixed bag of experts and novices who all want to get your ball into their court. But if you only have a limited budget or if you're new to the industry, how do you choose the right fit? Having studied coaching for years, lived through experiences that have honed their skills, and continued studying to this day, Lisa and David are both blown away by the volume of people calling themselves coaches and experts. To find the right mentors, they suggest the following tips: 1. Choose a variety of mentors Your mentor should be relatable, but also have a lifestyle you admire. Additionally, they need to have the experience to back up any claims they make. They also suggest changing or updating your mentors as you progress through your business and in life, to help you maintain momentum. 2. Write down your limiting beliefs Figure out why your insecurities are there and give yourself the space to figure out what brought them on. Try not to let other people's opinions affect you because they can make you second guess yourself. 3. Reevaluate the people you spend time with Examine your pool of friends to see how they align with and support your goals. If needed, find new people to spend time with that leave you feeling full and supported. How to utilize life experiences to find your path We live in a society driven by money. But earning enough money to have the freedom to live how you want can be challenging. Lisa's career started as a super-successful pharmaceutical rep. with a generous income, a company car, and an expense account. After leaving that role to spend more time with her family, she moved into her first network marketing role for a beauty company where she quickly rose through the ranks to become a top earner. But when she realized that many players on her team weren't treated fairly, she decided to step away from that organization to find her next path. After leaving that company, Lisa faced divorce, losing her close friend and mentor, and having to face the job market as a single mother. Taking some time to figure out what she was looking for, she developed a list of criteria that her next network marketing opportunity needed to meet. She based the information on the lessons she’d learned from her life experiences up to that point: What was on her list? The company needed to be more than ten years old It needed to be international, reaching more than North America She no longer wanted to have to focus on a singular gender or age range Are the products offered able to be used daily? The compensation plan should be binary, and all team members should have equal opportunities for success Bonus: How to figure out where you are on your personal growth journey During this conversation, Lisa shares an exercise that she often recommends to those who are trying to assess their personal growth. Write three letters to yourself to discover your reality: The bad: Write a letter that allows you to notate all your insecurities, frustrations, and anger The honest: The second letter should be a clear, neutral look at where you are currently The abundant: Finally, write a letter full of your dreams and goals for the future By having these three letters, you will be able to find the middle ground that can help you discover your next step towards success.
