Fighting Demons
I reached a revelation last night
while talking to my wife…
It was the type of revelation that when voiced you feel as if you
can’t help, but succeed.
Have you ever had a point in your life when you have reached
the point of burnout and you can’t remember why you were
reaching for the goal in the first place? I remembered the vision of what it was like when we were old

It’s quite natural and I’m going to tell you why that happens
after the story… That vision is what will save my marriage and give me the
strength to do the work it takes to repair.
So my wife and I are repairing our marriage. It’s not so much

You start out on FIRE…
Well that’s how I felt…

And then I remembered something VERY important that
changed the way I viewed our marriage. …and then a whole bunch of monkey wrenches are thrown
into your plan of action. You make it through the first few
obstacles, but you wonder why you have to keep going through
this.
And then it hits you…
Why are you doing this?

your goal or intention.
Another suggestion that can be very helpful is to align yourself

about WHY you are doing what you’re doing? The Empower
Network understands the struggles of building your business
and encourages you to keeping fighting.
