Happy Wife, Happy Life: Bring Your Wife on Your EOS Journey with Jack Martin

So that's your professional kind of story.

What about your personal best?

I got something really neat to share with you.

So I got seven children.

And I've heard it said that each child that you have will teach you more on the personal development front than you could ever get from any seminar or book.

And the more kids you have, the better person you'll likely end up being if you listen to them, right? So I got a chance to be a good person with seven kids, right? But the oldest of my children taught me something that's probably one of the most profound personal success stories.

And that's how to let go.

So she was a teenager.

She was going down a path that dad thought was the wrong path.

And I was trying to control every aspect of her life.

And it ended up manifesting in probably the most toxic relationship that you could imagine between a father and a child.

And that's certainly not something that either of us wanted.

At some point, I let go, or at least it got bad enough to where I was required to let go.

And that experience of letting go has led to the opposite of that.

So amazing relationship where she calls me about everything and shares all of her challenges or all of her difficulties.

And many times she doesn't need any advice.

She just needs a sounding board.

It has been amazing reversal of what a great success story.

But that experience of letting go as a father has also taught me to let go at work and also taught me to let go in life.

And that really to trust that there's a, there's a greater power at work in your life and you don't need to be gripping the wheel so doggone tight.

Yeah.

And that's what Gina

talks about in his book, right? It's like, as soon as we can actually learn to let go, then the amazing things start to happen.

That's right.

So yeah, I would say that's the, that's, it's a personal victory, but it manifests everywhere.
