“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself…You don’t have charge of the constellations, but you do have charge of whether you read, develop new skills, and take new classes… Your paycheck is not your employer’s responsibility, i t’s your responsibility. Your employer has no control over your value, but you do.” – Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn is one of my mentors. He doesn’t know it, but he’s impacted my life greatly.

One of the best things that Mr. Rohn has taught me is that the financial rewards we reap in life are directly correlated with our personal development. If we don’t work on ourselves, how should we expect to be worth more to the marketplace?

The fact is that the marketplace will pay each of us what we are worth. Jim Rohn also says, “Don’t bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don’t feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.”

Do you want to make more money? Have greater skills. Need more skills? Work on yourself!

Tonight we had the ultimate experience. My wife and I were invited to San Diego with three other awesome couples to discuss our relationships with Tony and his wife Sage. The unique part of the experience was that it was all captured on video by Tony’s production team.

We started off with Tony talking to the eight of us, and introducing a video of one of his live events where a married couple, Jenn and Paul, were on the verge of divorce. I’ve attached a 3 minute intro to this video here:

After watching this emotional hour-long video, we sat down with Tony and Sage to give them our thoughts, and to discuss the different ways that we each found parallels between Jenn and Paul’s story with our own relationships.

Needless to say, it was an emotional experience! Both Tony and Sage had offered their candid observations about each of us, our body language, the words that we were using to communicate how we felt, and shed light on the ways our partners needed to be more fulfilled.

We got to experience a small taste of The Ultimate Relationship Program that Tony offers. To be able to have done this with Tony and his wife was amazing to say the least!

Every couple needs to go through this program. Emily and I are going to begin it this week. With the instant gratification culture that we have become accustomed to, we figure that if our relationships hit a rough patch something must be wrong with it. If it’s not working right, we’re in the wrong relationship. If I’m unhappy, it’s because my partner is wrong for me and I need to go exchange them.

Relationships take WORK. How many couples clean the cobwebs in their house weekly but allow cobwebs to grow in their own marriages? It’s time to restore passion to America’s marriages! My hope is that you will kick-start the passion and love your marriage deserves!
