Summary

“There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others.” – George Shinn As a former lone wolf, the idea that I needed others to make an impact was a hard pill to swallow. But it’s true—it takes a team of people utilizing their unique strengths, solid communication, and a shared goal to make great things happen. This is the case whether we’re talking about creating a podcast, raising children, starting a business, or building a strong and successful marriage. Our relationships are the most impactful thing on our health, happiness, and overall success—and they can take a lot of work. While it’s easy to place blame on others and put a magnifying glass on their shortcomings, that isn’t necessarily productive. But what can really make an impact on how your relationships function is to better understand yourself and your strengths. Once you have a better grasp on who you are, you can master your reactions and use your talents to be more productive and efficient in your roles. In his new book, You Ain’t the Boss of Me, Dr. Eric “ET” Thomas shares how to empower yourself by uncovering your unique superpowers. Dr. Thomas is here with us today to share the critical takeaways and mindset shifts that can occur when you have a better understanding of who you are at your core. You’ll learn powerful lessons on how to manage your approaches and expectations, how uncovering your gifts and talents can help you thrive in all aspects of your life, and so many more profound insights. Enjoy this interview with the one and only Dr. Eric Thomas! In this episode you’ll discover: What it’s like to build a healthy marriage without a frame of reference. How understanding your personality type can help you master your relationships. The importance of being aware of your body language. What it means to be on the hunt in your relationship. Why it’s critical to understand the appropriate time to use your strengths. How studying your personality can help you succeed. Why using your talents is like boiling an egg. What superheroes and villains have in common. How to better interpret other people’s resistance. Why relationships are like puzzles. How to teach your children about persistence and responsibility. Why asking how you can be of service can help you build wealth. The importance of putting out positive energy. How giving away your gifts is like planting a seed. Why money and mindset are interlinked. Items mentioned in this episode include: Organifi.com/Model ⇐ Use the coupon code model for 20% off!
