Today's “Quick Hit” episode looks at the importance of taking your listing marketing seriously. A recent study by Inman reviewed 25,000 listings across Zillow and Realtor.com, and found that the vast majority of real estate listings lack good visuals, with only 10% of single family home listings including a floor plan, less than 30% of the photos on the listings meeting best practices, and 94% offering no video or virtual tour whatsoever. This is a huge missed opportunity for agents, and today Matt and Garrett explain why. Lack of floor plans, poorly lit, grainy or upside-down photos, and “just okay” online listings give the impression of unprofessionalism, and tell potential buyers that you are “just okay” as an agent as well. As Garrett points out, you want to give your listing every opportunity possible to be the “cream puff” people will want to check out right away. Matt and Garrett break down the many excuses they hear agents make for not taking their listing marketing to the next level, beginning with the expense of hiring a professional. Hiring a skilled photographer will make your listing truly shine. This will not only help your current listings sell faster, but it will also attract more business as it speaks to the kind of quality work and attention to detail you offer. Next, they discuss the importance of a floor plan as it helps potential buyers visualize themselves in the home after they've walked away from it, and can even limit potential barriers for them putting in an offer.  Hiring professionals to include exceptional visuals in your listing sets the stage for who you are as an agent. It also ensures that you're making the best use of your time by keeping the focus on phone calls and other important Ninja systems. And at the end of the day, it isn't an expense - it's an investment in your business that will pay you back over and over again.

And it's funny that people still don't show up and do it. And we watch people cut corners all the time.” “[This study by Inman] searched 25,000 listings across Zillow and Realtor.com and found that only 10% of the single family home listings had a floor plan, less than 30% of the photos on the listings met best practices, whether they were done ‘professionally' or not. And 94% had no video or virtual tour.” “My first installation that I went to, Larry talked a lot about floor plans. And still to this day, so many Ninjas don't use floor plans - Well, we don't need that. Well, I don't know where to get that. Well, nobody will do that. And it's just the excuses that come out. I love a good floor plan. It makes it so much easier to understand a home and connect with it at a different level.” “Give that listing every opportunity it has to be the ‘cream puff'. And if you're the weak link in it, figure it out! Go hire a professional to take you out of the equation. And it's okay to be the weak link. I don't want you to all become professional photographers - you're professional real estate agents.” “Part of this isn't even just making your listing shine so that they sell better and all that. It's also, if your listing shines online, as Larry [Kendall] says, people are going to see that. And so the next listing pitch that you go on, they're going to see what type of work you do.” “More of you are $1,000 per hour people than you realize.” “There's a better use of your time in this industry that you're in. I would much rather you be on the phone calling people for that whole time... You will pay for your photographer over and over and over again by you not being there.” “If you're not putting some of these things up, what it says to me is you don't have a process. There is not a process. There is not a marketing plan that exists, at least not a high quality one, when it comes to you launching a listing.” “If a listing gets launched with 10 photos, and one of them is an upside-down photo, or it's just 10 photos, and they're grainy, if there's no floor plan listed in the documents - it just shows to me that you're not using a good process. And that's not somebody that I'd want to work with as a professional.” “Even the ones where those photos look okay - okay is not good enough when it comes to this, because it doesn't cost a lot of money to make them exceptional.” “Every single thing that you put out, whether you are directly putting it out, you're directly having a conversation with somebody, or it's a piece of marketing that goes out directly, relates to who you are as a business.” “When you bring in a professional to take care of it for you, when you take that little extra step to have it done at that level… This is your opportunity to set the stage of who you are as a business owner.” “At the end of the day, every single dollar you put into this is an investment into your business. It is not an expense because every single dollar you put into this will help you get more business. It will help you be more successful.”   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at    TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events  Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group

As realtors, we need to be educated and pay attention to trends in the economy that may affect our clients. Today Matt and Garrett dive into an issue that’s having a huge impact on our industry at the moment - supply and demand. They explain the role that rising costs are playing in real estate, why contractors are leaving prices open-ended or even abandoning jobs altogether, and the impact that other factors could have on homeowners, such as inflation rates and tax policies. Understanding the current situation comes back to knowing your industry and knowing your product, and will help you serve as a trusted advisor to your clients. Our hosts highlight the importance of doing your research, and talking to business owners and trusted experts around you to find out what’s truly going on in your area, rather than relying solely on the news or information provided on social media. Becoming an expert on what’s going on in the industry, and knowing how to guide your clients through potential pitfalls and challenges is just one more crucial way to demonstrate your value. The more knowledge you can provide, the more powerful your position will be in their world. As Garrett points out, if you’re uneducated, you’re just another number in their database. You can avoid this by educating yourself on all aspects of the business, and today’s episode will lay out how to do just that. Tell us who your go-to experts are, ask questions, and share ideas for future episodes by joining the growing Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/theninjasellingpodcast.

So it plays a big role.” “I start hearing about builders saying, Yeah, we'll accept your contract to build a house for you, but you know, the price is going to be open-ended until we can actually buy all the supplies because we can't give you a price.” “I think we are starting to come into an interesting time right now where we're going to see some stuff like this start to go on.” “I need to be financially smart about what is going on. What does this all mean? How is it going to affect my people and where can I guide them to go get more information? Because we're going to need to be really trusted advisors for people coming up here.” “People will figure out how to buy or sell, and this is why we need to be trusted advisors.” “Just as if you were going to run a grocery store, you're going to pay attention to what's going on with diesel prices, because your trucks are moving stuff around all the time, and that's going to impact your inventory.” “If you look at the data of just inflation - ending in April, we've hit the highest trailing 12 month of inflation rate numbers at 4.2 than we've seen since 2011 and 2008.” “Everybody's talking about, What if we have inflation? And [Warren Buffett] said it's already here. If you're not noticing that inflation is already starting, you're behind on what's going on.”  “It’s hard to remember how cold the rain is when it’s a sunny day.” “My best education comes from the people that I know right around me and asking more questions, more so than the news.” “That's why I talk to people I know in finance when I want to understand certain things. That's why I talk to doctors when I want to understand things about health. That’s why I talk to personal trainers when I want to understand things about fitness. That's why I talked to Garrett when I want to understand things about real estate.” “If you can get into the actual relationship with somebody, where you are trusted advisors for each other, and you come together and you talk about what's going on and what you're seeing out there, those can be extremely powerful.” “Be that source of information for them, be that source of knowledge.”   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at    TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching  Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events  Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group

Point #1: What is a Stack? A Stack is a series of questions with five variations (Mega, Angry, Happy, Gratitude, Production) that Garrett originally created three years ago to deal with “my fucking rage.” These questions alter the way you are experiencing different relationships, events, and triggers in your life. One of the challenges men have is the inability to express emotion and end up suppressing those emotions, which is the way society has taught, trained and educated men to do over the past 100 years. The whole point of the Stack is to allow you to release the energy that you’re feeling, whether you’re fucking raging, angry, triggered, or happy and get someone to their truth. QUESTION As a man, what has been your experience with sharing your emotions and feelings?   Point #2: Impact There are five different Stacks which serve different purposes. You’ve got the Mega and Angry Stack which allow you to release your rage & emotions, followed by the Happy and Gratitude Stacks, and then finally the Production or War Stack.. The Gratitude Stack requires you to deliberately pause and look back and serves as a powerful tool of connection with your spouse and children. As Garrett has shared these with his children as part of the Core 4 game, he has witnessed first-hand the immense impact it has had on them individually and upon their relationship. QUESTION How has expressing gratitude for your spouse and children affected your relationship with them?   Point #3:  The Gift of Gratitude Danielle shares how expressing gratitude gives you a different perspective.”There are going to be times in your life when you feel like you are in a dark place, and it’s hard to snap out of that. You start to see the world through a negative lens.” “If you take a step back and begin appreciating the good moments, it gives you this sense of gratitude, and everything begins to change. It puts life in a different perspective.” QUESTION What do you notice when you step back and begin seeing life through the lens of gratitude?   Point #4: INSPIRED From his Gratitude Stack about Danielle, Garrett received insights and revelations about their marriage, and how he feels about her: “Marital and mutual respect is something that takes a long time to uncover, and once it’s found, it’s priceless and profound.” “I sit and look at my wife while five months pregnant and am just inspired. I’m inspired by what it is to be pregnant and have your body do what it does with a little person inside of you who is growing. But of all the things that hits home the most is that she can make the baby AND also smash the shit out of life.” QUESTION What about your spouse inspires you?   Point #5: From Then to Now Garrett: What makes this pregnancy different from the others is that I am grateful for what we’ve become as a couple. In the past, I isolated myself and didn’t know how to deal with the whole pregnancy thing. Danielle: When you look back to how it was eight years ago with our last pregnancy during scary and uncertain times, things are so different this time. We know we’re in a good place right now with life and with marriage, and we’re excited about the next chapter. QUESTION As you step back and look where you’ve been compared to where you are now, what has changed? Communication Challenge: Discuss the art of collision and the ability to hold space for your spouse during intense & direct conversations. Date Night Topic: Make Gratitude the topic of your next Date Night. Share examples and stories of gratitude with each other. If you have access to the Gratitude Stack, do a Stack on each other and then share it during your date. Quote of the Week: “Gratitude is the ability to look back: here’s where we are, here’s where we were, and let’s be grateful for what is.” —Garrett J White “When you’re in a space of gratitude, nothing can get you down. Use it as a protective shield for yourself and your family, and to ultimately feel more powerful in life. When I’m in that space, I feel unstoppable.” —Danielle K White

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Date Your Wife podcast where married business owners, Garrett and Danielle White, have an entertaining and revealing conversation about the “how to’s” of navigating the ever-changing waters of parenthood. Every week married couple Danielle and Garrett J White share insights and perspectives from within their own lives regarding the following topics discussed each month: Week 1: Sex Week 2: Money Week 3: Parenting Week 4: Communication In This Week’s Podcast…Parenting Point #1: The Trifecta of Insanity Garrett: You can’t be a married businessman with children if you don’t have children. Dogs, guinea pigs, and fish don’t count. We live in a place where people push their dogs around in fucking strollers. To be a married businessman with children means that you have a partner that you are committed to AND you have children. This trifecta of insanity is literally a suicide mission with only two possible outcomes: 1- you win and 2- you lose. QUESTION How are you and your spouse handling the Trifecta of Insanity? Point #2: Once a Mom, Always a Mom Danielle: I don’t think you really have perspective until you actually start having kids. Before having kids, we both worked hard during the week and were pretty much homebodies on the weekends. Looking back, I’m thinking we should have done more. Danielle’s mother told her that even with all of her children grown, she still worries about them making good decisions. Once you’re a mom, you’re always a mom. “Oh shit! But then, you never want anything different once you are a mom, and you can’t imagine your life without your children.” QUESTION How has having children changed your perspective about life? Point #3: The Love of Learning Although a college graduate, Garrett’s passion for learning wasn’t ignited until he read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” in 2001 as a PE teacher, opening up an entirely different world to him. “I’m addicted to and obsessed with learning and cannot consume enough!” It wasn’t until later in life that Danielle would learn the importance of learning. “You have to have a love for learning, and you have to LEARN to learn. Seeing the person I have become through learning, I wish I would have understood that concept when I was younger.” QUESTION When were you bit by the learning bug? What was the turning point for you?   Point #4: Consequences & Boundaries In parenting, where do you draw the line? When do you let your children come to their own conclusions in life after suffering the consequences of their own choices, and when do you hold them accountable to certain standards of behavior? As Garrett and Danielle met with their daughter, teachers, and principal, it was clear that implementing a system of accountability going forward would greatly assist their daughter in achieving her musical aspirations. QUESTION Where in your world do you know it’s time to set up a system of accountability? Point #5: Just the Facts, Please Garrett: Your kids are not always right. Most of the time as a parent when you try to defend your kids from the consequences of life, what you’re doing is defending your own ego and your own self-doubt as a parent. What are the facts? Possibly the greatest gift that you could give your children is to get clear about the facts in front of the other people that matter and involve them in the process of accountability. QUESTION Where in your world is it time to separate the facts from your feelings in order to progress and move forward? Communication Challenge: What is your take on boundaries, consequences, and accountability when it comes to your children? How does it align with your spouse’s take? How does it differ? Date Night Topic: While you’re out on your date this week, have a conversation about how as parents you can instill the love of learning into your children. Quote of the Week: “It’s one thing to build a business and have nothing else to worry about except building that business. It’s another thing to build a business and then get married. And then, it’s a whole other conundrum to build a business, get married, have multiple babies, raise those babies, and inside of that, make a decision to have another baby.” —Garrett J White “Teach your children the importance of learning. If as an adult you want to get ahead in the game or become an overall better human being, life is about learning. If you can teach your children to love to learn, they’ll have more success in their life.” —Danielle K White

*This is a special encore presentation of a previously published episode of the Date Your Wife podcast.* The White’s juggle children, sandwiches and grocery lists in the opening of today’s podcast, demonstrating yet again that they are keeping things real and raw. Between the flirting, bantering, sexual innuendos, and Danielle revealing what she really thinks about penises, it’s no wonder their’s is the only explicitly rated podcast in the category of Parenting and Family, as they are willing to take topics where others are not. Sit back and enjoy today’s conversation on the topic of Sex. Every week married couple Danielle and Garrett J White share insights and perspectives from within their own lives regarding the following topics discussed each month: Week 1: Sex Week 2: Money Week 3: Parenting Week 4: Communication   In This Week’s Podcast….SEX Point #1: Lazy Sex Danielle: It’s not like I don’t want to put in the effort, but I don’t always want to put in the effort. On my laziest days I don’t just lay there and do nothing, but there are ways to service your man without getting really into it. Garrett: Does this mean that women are sexually lazy? Servicing your man is important, regardless of what the servicing looks like. A lot of women don’t get this. QUESTION When you have sex, even quickie sex, do you experience connection or is it more like vaginal masturbation? Point #2: Tips For Traveling Garrett: When men are traveling, it doesn’t matter for 2 days or 2 weeks, they experience an increased sexual drive. It happens even if it’s just overnight. There is an increased sexual spike of being gone from their wife in which sexual desire increases. When guys are gone for a bunch of days it is very easy for them to end up in the trap of porn. This is a very big issue for guys. Danielle: If your guy is traveling, I think it’s a good idea to have sex the night before they go. Ladies, just get it done. Little things like that will make your relationship better and when he goes out of town he’s going to be more focused. I learned the hard way. It’s not that big a deal and it’s actually a win-win where we both are getting what we want. QUESTION What happens when you follow this formula? What happens when you don’t? Point #3: Pouty Mode Garrett went into pouty mode for 10 years because he felt so out of control inside of their relationship when it came to sex. He felt that Danielle held all of the cards and that she didn’t give a shit. Danielle: I found that pouty mode super unattractive. As Garrett shifted his energy, it gave me room to breathe. He just stopped asking and didn’t bring so much pouty energy to the table.  That’s when I started changing my story about Quickies and QQP was born. QUESTION What energy is present when pouty mode enters the picture in your relationship? Point #4: Women Are Like Crockpots Garrett: You tell me to warm you up first and then worry about myself. What does that look like? You have guys who don’t worry about their wife at all and worry about their own orgasm, then you have guys who are worried about their wife’s orgasm – there’s even a book called, “She Comes First.” Danielle: I don’t agree with that and I’m going to tell you why from a girl’s perspective. Warm her up first and then worry about yourself. I like to be warmed up, but if I go first, I’m less into you. It’s a song and dance, really. We’re both at the finish line: if I go first and you come right after me, it’s like we cross the finish line together. QUESTION What does your dance look like? Point #5: Hobbies Bring Fulfillment Garrett got to the point where he began relying on his masturbation toy and started drinking more. He went into a place of suppression, where he literally didn’t give a shit. At Danielle’s suggestion, he took up surfing, which has been an exceptionally good fit for him. Danielle: I suggested he take up surfing because I felt it would be something that he would enjoy. He comes back happy and full of this great energy, plus it gives me more space. He has a mistress called surfing and I’m fine with that mistress. QUESTION What hobbies do you both enjoy that add positive energy and breathing space inside of your relationship? Communication Challenge:  Talk about the ways you like being serviced by your spouse – and then go experiment. Date Night Topic: Begin the conversation around this idea of “Warm her up, worry about you.” What does that look like inside of your marriage? Quote of the Week: “When you are both on point together and he goes on a trip, apply the simple strategy of having Date Night and sex the night before you go – whether you’re fighting or angry or not – if you do this, life is going to be better. Your man’s going to go hunt more powerfully, which means that when he’s gone he’s going to be more productive in business; he’s not going to go to porn because he’s going to feel connected to you while he’s gone.” —Garrett J White “If it has been awhile since you have seen him and he comes back into town, just get it out of the way. I used to be standoffish and we would end up getting into fights. My advice is just get it off the table and out of the way. It doesn’t have to be a big show, just do it. He will become like putty in your hands.” —Danielle K White

For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..POWER In today's episode of Big Money Stylist, Danielle, Val, and Ani engage in an insightful conversation surrounding the topic of power, and how to successfully navigate the fine line that exists between power and entitlement. Point #1: Fine Line Between Power and Entitlement The ladies agree with Val who believes that “power is confidence in owning your shit and owning where you’re at.” While on the road to finding their power, Val believes that people tend to become a little too confident, which leads them to feel like things are owed to them. “That’s the slippery slope and fine line. We want to empower artists to live their best life and stand up for themselves, but sometimes, once they find their power, they start becoming a little lazy and entitled.” Ani: The entire point of BMS is to empower someone to move forward to a better place – a place they love, and a place that they’re completely obsessed with; that’s literally the entire point. Unfortunately, entitlement sometimes comes along with power.  Danielle: When it’s easy, people tend to take it for granted. If, for example, you’re an assistant and somebody paves the way for you a little bit, making your path easier, that’s when entitlement happens. QUESTION How do you know when you’ve crossed the line from power to entitlement? Point #2: Staying in the Loop Danielle is constantly reminding herself to “be humble, dial it back in, and do the work. I think it’s important to have a little bit of an ego to be able to push, teach, and move forward – to be able to do what we do – and then to be able to dial it back.” “If you get stuck in entitlement, you won’t necessarily grow; you’ll loop. You’ll feel like you’re growing fast, but you’re just doing loops. I’ve experienced where I thought I was moving forward because I was working hard, but ended up going in circles. I think a lot of people confuse putting in the time with doing the actual work.” QUESTION Where in your world do you feel like you’re staying in the loop – working like crazy, yet never moving forward? Point #3: Course Correction Ani can attest to the fact that Garrett’s course corrections can be a gnarly smack in the face; they’re not delightful and dainty, but swift, direct and to the point. One of the Warrior’s describes it this way: Whether I agree or disagree with what he’s saying, I tell him, hey, thank you. That’s literally the only way I can learn and grow. I then step back and ask myself, “If this is what he said to me, then what am I doing that’s making it come across like that?” Val: I’ll be caught off guard at first, but then I step back and look at it from his perspective. What am I doing? What is my role? I can’t change how anyone else is going to behave, but what I can change is myself and how I will react. Once you take on that accountability, it’s so freeing, so many more opportunities open up, and with that, there’s more room for growth. QUESTION How do you handle course correction? Are you open to feedback? Point #4:  Living in the State of Gratitude Opens Doors Ani: Val and I are always sharing our gratitude with Garrett and Danielle, not to ass-kiss, but to express gratitude for opening doors and giving us the choice to step through them. We’ve literally run through every single door, every single time. As Garrett and I were listing the top five students, gratitude was the #1 trait they each exhibited. When I see gratitude show up in our students, I know they’re going somewhere because of it. Val: When I’m in a state of gratitude, acknowledging the smallest things I’m grateful for – when I stay in that place of gratitude, so many more opportunities open up for me. I learned early on that when I begin complaining and wondering why I’m not as successful as another person, it doesn’t benefit me, so I never allow myself to go there. If your mindset doesn’t shift from complaining and entitlement to gratitude, more opportunities won’t open up for you and you’ll continue staying in that same loop. QUESTION Describe how you feel when you’re in a state of gratitude, versus how you feel when you’re in a state of entitlement. Point #5: Paint a Clear Vision After laying out the numbers and taking a thorough look at them, Garrett and Danielle made some commission changes at the salon recently. Val: I agree with Danielle when she talks about painting a clear vision of “if you just show up and do the art, then the rest of it will be taken care of.” I love that about our salon. I get to go there and do amazing hair, and everything else is handled for me. I don’t have to worry about the backend. There’s a price tag on that and I’ll happily pay it because I hate it so much. Danielle: I literally lost sleep over this. For Garrett and I, we’re in it too deep and will fucking figure it out – no matter what it takes. We’ve gone through the loop so many times that now, when we recognize we’re in it, we realize, alright, shit’s gotta change and we’ve got to collide. I think a lot of business owners will sacrifice themselves by continuing on, believing things will turn around. Yet, when they don’t turn around and they realize they’re fucked, everybody gets fired, and they close their doors. QUESTION How do you respond to change and collision when it’s unmistakably necessary? Quote of the Week: “Always dial it back in. Always be willing to be humble. Work hard. Live your life with the energy of gratitude. You’ll be surprised how doing little things like that will push you forward in life.” — Danielle White “Entitlement won’t help you grow, so don’t be entitled. Look at yourself. Be accountable. Nothing’s going to get handed to you. If you work for something, you will grow; that’s where you’ll find your power. Where you won’t find your power is in having an entitled attitude.” –Valerie Plunk “Go to your place where you feel calm and happy, where you feel like a king or a queen; go to that spot and take a good look at yourself, look inward and ask yourself: Where in your life do you know you have power, and where in your life have you been more entitled than anything else?” –Anianne Rivera

The White’s juggle children, sandwiches and grocery lists in the opening of today’s podcast, demonstrating yet again that they are keeping things real and raw. Between the flirting, bantering, sexual innuendos and Danielle revealing what she really thinks about penises, it’s no wonder their’s is the only explicitly rated podcast in the category of Parenting and Family, as they are willing to take things where others are not. Sit back and enjoy today’s conversation on the topic of Sex. Every week married couple Danielle and Garrett J White share insights and perspectives from within their own lives regarding the following topics discussed each month: Week 1: Sex Week 2: Money Week 3: Parenting Week 4: Communication   In This Week's Podcast....SEX Point #1: Lazy Sex Danielle: It’s not like I don’t want to put in the effort, but I don’t  always want to put in the effort. On my laziest days I don't just lay there and do nothing, but there are ways to service your man without getting really into it. Garrett: Does this mean that women are sexually lazy? Servicing your man is important, regardless of what the servicing looks like. A lot of women don't get this. QUESTION: When you have sex, even quickie sex, do you experience connection or is it more like vaginal masturbation? Point #2: Tips For Traveling Garrett: When men are traveling, it doesn’t matter for 2 days or 2 weeks, they experience an increased drive sexually. It happens even if it’s just overnight. There is an increased spike of being gone from their wife in which sexual desire increases. When guys are gone for a bunch of days it is very easy for them to end up in the trap of porn. This is a very big issue for guys. Danielle: If your guy is traveling, I think it’s a good idea to have sex the night before they go. Ladies, just get it done. Little things like that will make your relationship better and when he goes out of town he’s going to be more focused. I learned the hard way. It’s not that big a deal and it’s actually a win win where we both are getting what we want. QUESTION: What are the results when you follow this formula? What are the results when you don't? Point #3: Pouty Mode Garrett went into pouty mode for 10 years because he felt so out of control inside of their relationship when it came to sex. He felt that Danielle held all of the cards and that she didn't give a shit. Danielle: I found that pouty mode super unattractive. As Garrett shifted his energy, it gave me room to breathe. He just stopped asking and didn’t bring so much pouty energy to the table.  That's when I started changing my story about Quickies and QQP was born.. QUESTION: What energy is present when pouty mode enters the picture in your relationship? Point #4: Women Are Like Crockpots Garrett: You tell me to warm you up first and then worry about myself. What does that look like? You have guys who don’t worry about their wife at all and worry about their own orgasm, then you have guys who are worried about their wife’s orgasm - there’s even a book called, "She Comes First." Danielle: I don’t agree with that and I’m going to tell you why from a girl’s perspective. Warm her up first and then worry about yourself. I like to be warmed up, but if I go first, I’m less into you. It's a song and dance, really. We're both at the finish line: if I go first and you come right after me, it's like we cross the finish line together. QUESTION: What does your dance look like? Point #5: Hobbies Bring Fulfillment Garrett got to the point where he began relying on his masturbation toy and started drinking more. He went into a place of suppression where he literally didn’t give a shit. At Danielle's suggestion, he took up surfing, which has been an exceptionally good fit for him Danielle: I suggested he take up surfing because I felt it would be something that he would enjoy. He comes back happy and full of this great energy, plus it gives me more space. He has a mistress called surfing and I'm fine with that mistress. QUESTION: What hobbies do you both enjoy that add positive energy and breathing space inside of your relationship? Communication Challenge:  Talk about the ways you like being serviced by your spouse - and then go experiment. Date Night Topic: Begin the conversation around this idea of "Warm her up, worry about you." What does that look like inside of your marriage? Quote of the Week: "When you are both on point together and he goes on a trip, this simple strategy of having Date Night and sex the night before you go - whether you’re fighting or angry or not - if you do this, life is going to be better. Your man’s going to go hunt more powerfully, which means that when he’s gone he’s going to be more productive in business; he’s not going to go to porn because he’s going to feel connected to you while he’s gone." --Garrett J White "If it has been awhile since you have seen him and he comes back into town, just get it out of the way. I used to be standoffish and we would end up getting into fights. My advice is just get it off the table and out of the way. It doesn’t have to be a big show, just do it. He will become like putty in your hands." --Danielle K White
