Saw this earlier today. Crazy that some guys are in this deep. :/

DOES YOUR SPOUSE REALLY UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS?

After several conversations with potential students I've noticed one recurring theme when it came to starting a training program Washington

... 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲

and rightly so.

But here's where the conversation typically goes wrong.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲.

Something like this, "Hey hun, soooo, I spoke with a trainer today and I'm considering doing this program and it costs "X amount" of dollars. What do you think?"

(BTW, this is not a $10/mo gym membership your considering --> this is a top end coaching program with a ton of value to finally take your life to the next level)

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚?

--> "Um, no, that's too expensive." --> "That's not in our budget." --> "Can't you just go to <enter globo gym here>?"

The results of this conversation approach...

only leads to more head ache and worse, embarrassment because now you have to tell your potential coach "you can't afford it"

or

You choose to blow them off all together to avoid the awkward conversation.

(TOTALLY understandable, it is an awkward and embarrassing conversation after all)

Instead try this approach.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲:

--> the things you struggle with daily. --> why you feel like a loser in their eyes. --> how it's effecting you as a man, husband, and father. --> you're tied of comparing yourself to other men who are "crushing it".

And not only that, but also let them know "what's in it for them".

𝗔𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲?"

𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗘 -- 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹

... know how I know?

Because I'm a dude JUST LIKE YOU and...

𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 "𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸" 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀.

Because as the man:

• we’re supposed to the man of the house.
• appear as though we have our sh*t together.
• we represent the strength of the household, the authority figure, and the provider.

(Ugh, it's a lot of pressure)

And when our needs are not being met, we can't show up l͟i͟k͟e͟ ͟w͟e͟ ͟s͟h͟o͟u͟l͟d͟.

Here's an example of a better conversation with your spouse, when you're ready to start a program because

... 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥. ... 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. ... 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴. ... 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘶𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 “𝗪𝗛𝗬” 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.

What you’re struggling with, how it’s (or could be) effecting your ability to show up as man, husband, and father.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲:

[+] You’ll have more energy to pull your weight around the house (YES fellas, you need to be helping around the house).

[+] You’ll no longer be taking out your frustrations (because you’re not where you should be) on your her or the kids.

[+] Better sex, yes I said it, 𝗕͟𝗘͟𝗧͟𝗧͟𝗘͟𝗥͟ ͟𝗦͟𝗘͟𝗫͟!͟ Not only will this help both of you sleep like babies and bring both of you closer together but

... knowing you have the testosterone, strength, power, and are 100% in control of pleasing your wive --> ͟𝗶͟𝘀͟ ͟𝗽͟𝗿͟𝗶͟𝗰͟𝗲͟𝗹͟𝗲͟𝘀͟𝘀͟!͟

This will take some practice.

But...

once you open this line of communication with your spouse, there will no longer be immediate dismissal of your goals, dreams, and desires as a man.

Instead of, “NO we can’t afford that” (which is a limiting belief and mindset).

It will be, “How can we afford this.”

Take a moment to consider these before speaking to your spouse:

[+] why is this important to YOU? [+] how will this benefit your spouse? [+] and where in your budget can you make cuts to make it happen?
