Takeaways:

• Everyone can be a power couple. Many people think you have to work together in a business, or when the wife is super dominant. However, all it takes is having a like-minded vision to a similar place or direction you two are headed, using your talents, skills, and abilities to support each other in getting to that place. So together to people going after one vision using their strengths. You often need to make your relationship your higher priority.
• A Think and Grow Rich Statement is created with the purpose to dial in, a declaration that you say out loud every morning and then a touchstone that you can go back to recenter you throughout the day. This is typically made for the amount of money you want to make in a specific amount of time, but the main purpose is to help you emotionalize and visual your connection to your goals, which is why you can use it for many other benchmarks besides your money goals.  
• Focus on the Positive things that you already have, especially before you get to anything you want to work on because you will only see those thing a negative lense. The world will continue to confirm your belief until you change your belief system or mindset. Find what you love about your partner and let them know. What you focus on increases. You will feel more love when you focus on how amazing your partner is and what you love about them.

• [ 38:17 ] Adding Value
• [ 41:30 ] The One Thing

Takeaways:

• If you make 30 dollars an hour at your job and you can spend $10-$15 hours to have someone else do a time-sucking task for you in order to free up time to make more money and invest your time better. Maximize your time during the weekdays and save your hobbies for the weekend. Many people are so overwhelmed with being fake busy because they a putting time into meaningless tasks, social media scrolling, or other nonsense. If you have a full-time job save your weekends for your side hustle, Saturday and Sunday are a great time to invest in your side hustle.  
• We all know one person who rather than taking action just talks, every year that person will tell about the great thing they should've could’ve done. When you are an action taker you have the idea, you create a name, you buy the domain, create social media handles across all social media, build your website, order product, capture pictures for social media posts, and create an online store to sell that product. Taking action is what holds people back. You can do everything for a couple $100 bucks and get a jump start on your ideas and turn concepts into businesses in a night.
• Have an obsession for the process, the beginning, the during, and the after. Get excited about the game of building, testing, failing, and doing well. Have Fun. Curate who you will get involved with in business in order to be successful. Once you start to know the games, the tricks, and the background in building and scaling businesses you will find that you can remove the risk for failures.

• [ 13:05 ] Asking for Help
• [ 16:41 ] Resources
• [ 18:30 ] Money Matters
• [ 20:03 ] Understanding

Takeaways:

• In some aspects of our life we need to pull on different people, like our mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers and close friends. Me and women process their stress very differently. Women have a desire to get around their most trusted female friends and talk things over, vent, problem solve. Whereas men tend to withdraw, become depressed, and feel the need to be strong by withholding their stress. Many relationships fail because people try to make their partner their outlet for all things, rather than looking to close guy or girl friends who will relate and understand each other better.
• Most men think that everyone, including their wives don’t want them to ask for help. Women like to control things but they also want to have a man in their life that they know can look outside for help to better themselves in order to strengthen their relationship. When you look for help and are honest with your spouse you're will find that you’ve lifted a weight off your shoulders and have taken responsibility for yourself.

Takeaways:

• Broccoli and cruciferous greens supplemented with DIM can assist in maintaining your estrogen levels, adding in ashwagandha and other homeopathic adaptogens. You can’t be predisposed to a quick fix, it takes time and patience to heal, repair, restore, and maintain your body. Another thing to add in is grass fed proteins and fats, along with getting a good night's sleep.  
• Birds of a feather flock together. When you find people with like-minded goals, businesses, and relationship values, you will find your success catapult in your health and business and relationships.
• The five people you surround yourself with is a big deal if you make it a big deal. If you look back and see who you were surrounded with at your lowest point you will find that those people, their lifestyles, mindsets, and influence was keeping you at that point. Find a group that can grow you, ask questions and apply the answers.

We are back with Power Couple Episode #8! Nicholas and Amanda are sharing with us why they took weeks off of the podcast and what they did during that time that helped them grow and learn more as entrepreneurs, individuals and build stronger relationships with those around them. They cover everything from listeners questions on marriage and envy, to reversing the trust on money issues, to learn how to relax and enjoy in your own time and in your own way!

• [ 07:12 ] Entrepreneurs on Vacation
• [ 12:13 ] Reversing Trust
• [ 16:32 ] Power in Knowing Where You Are Going
• [ 19:25 ] Envy

Takeaways:

• You have to schedule in rest. It takes about three days of being unplugged before you see the benefits, resting in your own way. The biggest thing you will see is that vacations are worth it and the ROI. You will have a good time connecting with like-minded people and building you're relationships. It’s good to have fun away from work.  
• Envy and jealousy are crippling negative subjects. But it comes down to your perception, logically realized that you can make it into a positive thing. Look at envy and jealousy as a lack mentality, it doesn't bear fruit and it doesn’t honor you or anyone else. Honor and respect other people and their breakthrough and success, flip it into teaching and applications into your life. When you so focus on other people take action to do what they did to get to where they are. Ask how did they get that and how do I get that? Then come up with a plan of action to prosper in those areas for yourself. Take 100% responsibility.

Today Nicholas interviews Jason Stone, who is best known as the millionaire mentor. Jason is a social media guru having grown several accounts to over 1 million followers and offering his skills and insight to clients through his millionaire mentor site and leadership in social media influence.

• [ 17:43 ] Responsibility of Impact
• [ 20:04 ] Branding
• [ 28:53 ] Content Distribution

Takeaways:

• When you begin by adding value through your social media you can build trust with your audience, don’t hold back on what you have to offer. If you are a carpet cleaning company you should teach your audience how to clean their own carpets without selling them your services. You might think you are giving away your trade secrets but people buy for convenience. So although you taught them how to do it themselves, they will buy your services because you took the time to teach them a built their trust.
• When you lack confidence in a relationship you will have to work to adapt to your partner's fame or success. It’s important to be adaptable in a relationship and offer support to one another.
• Content used to the king but distribution is now king. You can have great content but if no one sees it you won’t grow. The best way to distribute is to get shoutouts on other accounts as well as mentions and shares. Having people screenshot and share your account in their stories with reasons why they should follow you. Focus also on your bio and first six posts representing what you do.
