We're reading that book John Gottman's book, Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work, and, I want to tell you, that book is absolutely outstanding. At first I didn’t want to read but in chapter 2, John Gottman asked a question that I never really thought about. He said, “What is your secret weapon for defusing arguments?” I started thinking about that a little bit. I want to ask you today. Do you take things too serious? I mean probably, you are arguing about some dumb stuff in your relationship. We've got to do things to defuse these situations. I’d like to ask you again, what is your secret weapon? What is that thing that you're using to defuse some of those arguments or bad situations or disagreements that you're having? So just think about it. I don't know what it is for you? Whatever it is though I would encourage you to defuse it faster than not. Figure out what that thing is that you can do to defuse those bad situations.

Let tell you what I mean on this video's title. I am not going to teach you any tricks, tips, hacks or anything today. I just like you to enjoy today. I have read a book some years ago and I did not agree with everything that book said but it's titled "Enjoy The Now". And I think often times we tend to do just that. I know, often times I've been guilty of planning for the future. I am only thinking about retirement. If things get better, I am going to do this and that. But you know, if I think back, ten or fifteen years ago, today is that day that I was planning for! You know, we were not promised tomorrow. Right, we were not promised for anything but today. Simply take a moment today and think, "Am I investing on the right things? Am I spending time with my family, significant other? Am I really enjoying my time with my peers? This is the day! If you choose to, we can enjoy today!

I love to talk to people. I just love hanging out. I love being in relationship. I love learning about other people. I want to encourage you today, if you want more clients or simply meet and know new people, you got to stop talking about yourself! We need to invite other people to share their story with us. People love to talk about themselves.

I have just discovered over the past couple of months that there's one area that we have not fully covered in our mastermind group - we are about to spend 2 months diving deep into. John Gottman wrote a great book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert. Our Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind group is going to spend June and July 2019 breaking down that book and understand the principles in it that can make our marriage great.
Guys, I'd like to tell you right now. Where things breaking down often times is at home. I'd like to ask you for a second. Where's your marriage at? Like to encourage you to think about your relationships today.

I'd like to encourage you today when you're doing deals, think through what the real cost is. Not only as it relates to the financial loss but what it could pertain to as it relates to your reputation. We are people of character. We have integrity and we need to stick to our word regardless of the financial outcome. When you're faced with dilemmas think about what your character is worth and go forward and make the right decision.
