When your wife is frustrated, it's usually because you're not being clear about what you want or you're half-assing it. The speaker learned this the hard way: his wife stayed engaged when he gave everything, but checked out when he didn't. Spell out your goals, own your failures, and commit fully.
Chapters
you know, there's some level of frustration. And again, I always go back to like, if your spouse is frustrated, did you really slow down and take the time to articulate what you're trying to accomplish? Did you explain it the right way? Or do you just getting frustrated that they're frustrated? You know what I mean? Like, where we at with this thing, you know? And, and what my wife will tell all of you dudes, hey, if you're half-assing it, she should be pissed at you. You know, my wife gave me hella support. She did. I mean, my house could have been set on fire and I wouldn't have known it. But she's like, the only reason she did that is because I gave 100% to this side. So a lot of people are like, I wish I had a Stephanie. And Stephanie always goes, yeah, she might wish you had an equivalent of a John putting in the work, you know. And we both had to sacrifice equally in different roles, and she wouldn't have been near as willing to sacrifice on her end if I wasn't doing it on my end. When I was half-assing it, she wasn't near as excited to be doing all the stuff. But when I really sat down, I'll never forget, we sat down after an event, and I came back and I was like, I realized the problem. She was like, what's that? I was like, it's me. I'm not doing what it takes. I'm watching, and I could name names, I knew who was who at this point, I'm a couple years into the business. And she had heard the names, 'cause I'm like, this guy doing this, this guy's killing it, da da da da da. And I'm like, but this guy's also doing this and I'm not. And this dude's sacrificing this and I'm not. This dude's working this many appointments. This dude's buying this many leads. This guy's doing this kind of training. This dude's doing this self-development, you know. And I had to, I had to, I had to do a lot of that stuff.
