So far 2010 has been off to the races and to a great start for British and I. Our coaching practices are beginning to thrive and my “popularity” is
starting to buzz a little bit. Actually, my popularity is a mere hummmmmmm. 
Which is totally fine. To become a well-known relationship coach/expert, author and speaker it takes time. All of the big names had to start somewhere right? Of course they did. All it takes is to set the intention, embrace the vision and exercise action consistently and eventually, things will fall into place and I’ll be making an incredible difference in peoples lives across the land. I have faith! British just reached Vice President within the Compass organization. An incredible accomplishment considering she started this business just over a year ago in January. I’m extremely proud of her!
Speaking of accomplishments and supporting your spouse. I was talking with a close friend of mind about goal setting in a marriage. It’s important for couples to be on the same page when discussing their future together. If collectively the goal is financial, the two of you should set this goal together. For example, if the aim is to clear some debt, set a goal for an amount i.e., $10,000 for the year. Sit down together and work out all potential obstacles that may prevent you from achieving this goal. Talk about areas of spending that could be curbed and assess what you need as opposed to what you want to keep up a comfortable household. Once you’ve broken down obstacles and laid the plan, be committed and hold one another accountable. You’re a team, it’s important to work as ONE. It’s a short-term sacrifice for a long-term gain. Imagine the feeling the two of you will have when you’ve achieved your goal together. Even if you miss the goal by 1 or 2 thousand dollars, it doesn’t matter. The point is you did and you did it together!
You will be surprised to see how close the two of you will become and how you will better manage money issues within your household.
