How to Never Feel Nagged Again!

Published: Sun, 02/12/17

Hey,

I guess we're not in Fort Lauderdale anymore, Toto.

Seven days ago I was sitting on a warm beach, drinking rum punch and admiring the current trends in beach wear.

Fast forward seven days and I'm standing in 40 mph winds on a cold hillside with a chainsaw in one hand and wiping sawdust from my eyeballs with the other.

Who said variety is the spice of life?  I'll take the beach back, thank you very much.

Anyway, while cutting firewood today I wore myself out so much I almost didn't write this email or shoot my weekly video.  I felt like crashing on the couch and doing nothing for about 8 hours.

That's when my girlfriend said, "Don't you need to shoot your video and send your email yet today?"

Nag, nag, nag.  (bonus points if you can name the Clint Eastwood movie that came from)

But is it really nagging when she's actually right?

She knows how important it is to me get my newsletter and video out.  She also knows I made a commitment to you many months ago that I would do this until I reached 100 videos. (this one is around number 70)

And she knows I'd would be a little pissy tomorrow morning if I realized I missed my commitment.

So, it's not nagging in my book.  She's just helping me stay on the track she knows I want to be on.  She's helping me to not get pissed at myself.  I could resist her help or I could choose to see her with a little gratitude.

Here's a super quick video for you about this topic.
What about you?

Do you ever feel nagged to death?  Do you ever feel like a woman is trying to hold you to an impossible standard?

Do you want to resist her and argue with her - tell her to quit bugging you?

Here's my advice.

The best defense against feeling nagged is to establish your OWN standards.

Have your own 'to-do' list.  Make your own commitments and keep your own schedule.

Be a man on his own mission.

Will this keep her from nagging?  No, that's not what I said.  I said it will keep you from feeling nagged.

When you already know what your mission is you will actually appreciate a little help in staying on track.  And when you get some unsolicited help from her, you can decide if it fits into your mission or not.

When you're crystal clear on your expectations of yourself, nobody else can make you feel inadequate for not meeting theirs.

Therein lies the problem.

Many men are not at all clear on what they expect of themselves.  They have no mission, no guiding principles and no boundaries.

We must be clear on what we expect of ourselves and for ourselves.  If we don't...we will quickly feel nagged when anyone gives us direction.

We will feel anxious, agitated and pissy.

These are the hallmark emotions of a misdirected, tentative and unfocused man.

I want to help you become the opposite of that.  This is how a past client put it recently when a new guy asked him about my program.

"It was about 3 years ago for me when I went through Steve’s coaching and I have not been the same when it comes to women, knowing my truth and creating what I want.  If you keep doing what you will learn with Steve, you will never be the same."  (Alex R.)

Lotta love,
