Summary

Ninety percent of people's problems in their lives and business are that they don't manage expectations properly.

I've been married 4 times, divorced 3.

A long time ago, when I met Amy, we sat down and had a conversation.

I've been with her about 11 years and once we decided we were going to be getting serious, we sat down and had a conversation.

Pre-nup.

No matter what you think, everything begins and ends with agreements.

When we discussed our marriage, we outlined what the consequences would be if:

Either of us cheated
Filed for Divorce
Didn't stay in shape

The list goes on.

The crazy thing is at the time, I was making about 7 figures and she was making 6.

We still have separate bank accounts to this day, but we didn't want our marriage to be anything but successful.

Do we argue?

Yes.

Do we have disagreements?

Yes, just like every other couple.

Imagine if everyone decided to make agreements like this?

What would the world be like?

No matter what you think or believe, there is a always as way to manage expectations better.

Lean in and take notes.

This one is going to be a game-changer for how you make agreements moving forward in life.

0:40.9	They didn't set the proper boundaries in the beginning. They relied on love and vows as opposed to facts and figures. And what I mean by that is I'll
