But I think a lot of the issues are me. I get mad or sad or depressed when she doesn't see my point of view. It's time to take our relationship by the cajones and exude that positive energy. Nobody likes to be around people who just mope around when they don't get their way.
@Windsurfer this one thing will help quite a bit. Start doing that NOW
I guess my big question in all this is how people manage to balance their family life and their fastlane endeavors? That seems to be My wife and I's biggest problem - especially since the bulk of my time is at my full-time corporate job? I have a bunch of real estate properties but not enough to quit my regular job. But I can't ramp up the real estate (or copywriting or whatever fastlane thing) much without keeping commitments to the family. I want to give my family ice cream, but they don't want me to take the time away from them making it. My wife is not into the entrepreneurial thing AT ALL.
Any thoughts on that anyone?
I struggle with this one too. I give up sleep. It gets old sometimes but I don't know a better option.
I think one of the keys of that is her trust.
^This!
This one "weird" trick will improve your marriage for the rest of your life!
Had to try my hand at a headline!
Really though, think about this for a minute. What is it that drives men? Since the dawn of time men have left the cave, killed something, and drug it home. Men are providers! It is in a man's nature to get the ice cream!
What do women crave? What will transform a woman into a strong, supportive wife? Security. Above all else a woman wants to feel secure. It is the woman's nature to keep the ice cream safe!
When you bounce 300 ideas off her in a week that are going to make you rich so you can quit your job, what does she hear? That you are going to quit your job. She can't support you because it scares the crap out of her. She may not even realize it herself. Women have a security gland, and every time you mention a "get rich quick" scheme it starts pumping securimones (TM) and she locks up.
In my upcoming ebook, I will lay out the 7 simple steps it takes to make her want you to be in the fastlane. My easy to follow plan will guide you, step by step, in the total transformation of becoming a power couple. Once you're wife is behind you 100% her support will unleash your true potential. You will be an ice cream making machine!
For a limited time I am extending a special offer to a select few. I'm practically giving the book away for $9.99. All I ask in return is that you leave a testimonial if you find the book helpful. If you feel like you didn't benefit, return it for a 100% refund, no questions asked. Once this offer ends the book will be available for $39.99. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity and pre-order your copy today Click Here!
Ok, I'm done with that. One thing that helps is to reassure her that you are just discussing ideas and you won't quit your job until you have enough coming in to support yourselves. Don't imply it or hint around, say it!
Another thing that has helped me is Shark Tank of all things! Most wives will believe almost anything anyone tells them except their husbands! She started watching the show and every once in a while I would pause it to explain something (but don't turn it into a play by play or a seminar) or discuss what happened. The best part was when she saw my excitement for the ones that go really great. I remember one with some young girls and their mother that made jewelry. I was really happy for them and kept talking about how they were set for life, imagine how great they are going to have it now, etc, etc.
If you get her trust you will be amazed at the difference.
Another thing, TAKE ACTION. You see that here all the time. It helps more than just your fastlane journey. I've had so many ideas that she doesn't take most of them seriously any more. Why should she? I've repeatedly been excited about something only to move on to the next fad that hit the boards a few weeks later. When she saw that I was serious about this latest thing and that I was actually taking steps towards it, she got excited too! She still has reservations but it made a tremendous difference.
I hope this helps someone because that was a helluva lot of typing!
