howdy it's mike how we doing today it's the start of another week another beautiful week
as you may know um martha is uh is is ill right now and she's actually doing really really well
i've been giving you updates over the last two days we're just waiting for we have we
have her sequestered in our master suite here in the house and we're just waiting basically for a
negative test before she comes back out into the wild so that means you have me
for at least the next three days i have some magical stuff some magical content for you here
as you may have looked at it it's called mike's guide to working with your husband

now hey so i'm mike i'm martha's husband i don't know if you've ever met me but here i am uh
martha and i think a thing a lot of people don't know about martha and i is that
we've been working together in businesses for 10 years now going on 10 years now and
we've been able to make it work and you know over over time we've kind of learned that that's kind
of an oddity in business that there's not a lot of couples like martha and i that are able to
do this together and stay sane you know but over these years one thing i always get asked which i
don't mind it's just i don't i don't necessarily have an answer but i want to be able to help so
that's kind of what these video series are about is i've always asked mike how can i fix my husband
or how can i get my husband on board with what i'm doing how can i get my husband to believe
what i'm doing is going to make an impact how can i fix my husband you know what sadly
i cannot fix your husband okay however i can share with you the keys to why martha and i
have been able to work together for 10 years would you like to know the keys the things that
we follow so we ensure that we work together as a married couple in our business yes you would i bet
so uh and then everyone uh commenting at the end if we have time i'm gonna get and get on
there and we can answer any of your questions or anything too but so like i said this is gonna be a
three video series we're gonna go over the first key today the second key tomorrow and then the
the third key to how this all works uh the next day but the first key is this okay
martha and i have been able to work together and stay sane and happy and harmonious
for 10 years because we align our goals okay so we do this uh we do this all the time really um
at least every 90 days and if you've been part of one of martha's masterminds you probably have
been part of that too so now there's three steps to this key uh the first step if you
would like to follow this method too because again i can't fix your husband but i can show
you what we do i i can show you how martha has fixed me so i believe in everything we're doing
um the first step is write your goals yes both of you and you might say mike
you're crazy man i my husband's goals are gonna be like
drink six beers on friday or i don't wanna miss the chicago bears game i don't wanna
miss the bears on sunday right i can't miss the bears that's going to be like
maybe your husband's big goal i don't know maybe i'm playing on a stereotype there so
you're like okay well let's write them down so hey i give you permission to get a babysitter
go sit at a table with your husband we are going to and then you want to write out three goals okay
so first one family goals or this can be personal goals you want to write out three financial goals
and you want to write out uh can i stretch over there three business or professional goals this
is the system martha and i follow so family goals would be like uh for example one of
our goals was we wanted to be able to walk our daughter to school in the morning okay
or i want to get more play time or we want to play monopoly more on thursday nights right
financial goals i want to save for my retirement i want to make i want to invest more
i want to work on my portfolio things like that and business goals i mean these are particularly
uh these are very very centered i mean in martha's audience here like i want to launch
my first course i want to have a 10k month uh i want to hire employees things like that so that's
really the first step is you need to get together and you need to write the goals down okay now
step two you find alignment in your goals okay that's what martha and i have done for years
because obviously we're two very different people our goals aren't always going to align
but doing it this way where you write them out really helps and again i promise you if you follow
this method even if your husband's goal is to not miss the bears game on sunday you're going to find
alignment in your goals let me just give you a little of example of what this might look like
these aren't mine and martha's i just i just pulled these out of out of the ether here so his
okay family goals walk kids to school don't miss the bears game right put a lot of thought into
this uh take kids to disney financial saving 401k uh financial investments pay off debt and these
could be i guess i was coming from the point where uh sometimes in couples sometimes your husband
might still be at a job or sometimes you might still be at a job and he's doing his own thing so
i was kind of writing this from that perspective pay off debt business goals get a promotion
go to in industry events hold a non-profit event now look at yours and this is the the proverbial
yours uh family help my mom be there for kids help with homework buy the chicago bears right buy the
chicago bears why not you want to buy the chicago bears that's cool how the bears doing i don't know
i don't i don't watch football anymore i have a six-year-old daughter and she she's not into
football so i can't be into football anymore so pay for family education business have a
have a 10k month automate processes connect with influencers okay now here's where the
magic happens you might be sitting across the table from your spouse with these two lists okay
what was step two remember find alignment in your goals okay so watch this
see all those little red lines they all match up in a sense so be there for kids walk kids to
school that's alignment in your goals they may be titled different things but that's alignment
buy the chicago bears don't miss a bears game hey if you own the chicago bears
then your husband's not going to miss a bears game on sunday right probably not
donate to charities go to industry events see how all these little red lines match up
and show alignment and your goals i i promised you it would be impossible to come out of this
without without lining your goals and then that's the important thing too is sometimes these goals
aren't in the same category see you see a lot of lines like this is a business uh this is
like a business automate processes it goes up to take kids to disney it gives you more time right
so not all the goal categories are always going to match up with the other ones so i swear if you
follow this method it's going to be impossible for you to not find alignment okay and then
your last step the easy step here
you commit to goals together i don't care if you have to write them out i don't care
if you just have a verbal agreement martha and i would not be where we're at right now
if we didn't commit to goals together and it helps to find those goals that you're aligned with
and in a lot of cases i know that this is going to be i think probably in most cases it's not going
to be where husband and wife are both doing their own thing okay i think in most cases it's going to
be wife is doing her own thing husband's doing the traditional corporate job and that's fine okay so
um it's easy as that those three steps that's our first key to how we make this work uh tomorrow is
going to be magical because that's the second key it's also probably the hardest key to do
and it's like the most tense key but it's the it's it's where all the magic happens
because it involves something a lot of us don't want to do but we have to basically challenge
ourselves to do that with our spouse um but hey as you know martha is recovering from the thing
but i just wanted to let you know that we're still here to serve our people if you don't know
martha and i are on a mission to create 1 million invincible families by 2026 we do that through our
flagship program called home-based revolution and throughout our other our other programs too
even though martha's resting right now i want you to know that we are still helping people okay so
uh if you're interested in joining in on our mission to create invincible families that don't
have to rely on corporations for their income that can do what they want with when they want
with whoever they want how they want this is the place to be get into hbr uh i believe it's still
at the reduced price this month but how you do it is you go to martha's uh facebook page living the
dream with martha and you message let's do this and we're gonna reach out to you we're still doing
that even though martha's uh resting right now and we're gonna see where you fit in on our stuff
but do that jump in jump in now while while it's well it's a an affordable price well
it'll still be affordable but you know what i mean so let's see what you're saying okay
