I run a livestock farming operation — a business that does not stop. Not on weekends. Not on holidays. Not on Christmas. 365 days a year, the animals need care, the operation needs leadership, and the decisions need to be made. There is no "I'll deal with it on Monday." That environment forged something in me that most business coaches never develop: the ability to function under relentless, non-negotiable physical pressure. Someone who is a marriage consultant has probably never lived a life where he could not stop working for a week, even for a day. Being afraid to get ill because then who will take care of the animals?! Now I know that also in my business it is possbile, but it must be organised so. So it always starts with our beliefs. For years, I did what most entrepreneurs do. I blamed everything around me for my problems. My employees weren't performing. My clients were difficult. My wife didn't understand the pressure I was under. The business was the priority, and everything else had to wait. BUT - is it true? It is not! It is just a belief. Or a set of beliefs. Those I accepted looking my father working every single day of the year. Never hearing him ''I do not have time - I have a date with my wife''. I was always consent to tell someone that I can't because of work. But never because I promised my wife some quality time. Today - I have in my calendar every day time with Nina. It is just a granted part of my days. And it is a priority. AND: It is a pure gold. It is non-negotiable. It makes my life fulfilling. I show up as a loving husband to my children, having a safe environment for them that they nervous systems feel safe to learn, not just to survive. And... this is a true meaning. A blessing. And a story to live in. https://powercouplemethod.com/
