How to Stop Being a "Fixer"


Listen Later

When the temptation to “fix” a situation fires up in you, STOP. Most men are hard-wired to react to problems with a solution, but that “solution” is doomed from the start. In this new episode, Mark lays out the FUNDAMENTAL difference between “fixers” and true leaders, highlighting why KNOWING your problems is MUCH more important than “fixing” them. Mark covers WHY fixing things is such a bad approach, TWO simple words to help you ground yourself in stressful situations, and the REAL reason you want to fix everything and how to anticipate issues BEFORE any damage is done.

“Men, we are good at fixing shit, but your wife is NOT something that needs to be fixed. Leaders are anticipators who anticipate problems and lead from humility, whereas fixers only react to problems out of fear.”

- Mark Santiago

In This Episode:

- Most men are HARD-wired to be “fixers”, but once you get WHY fixing often does more harm than good, you’ll begin to see TRUE improvement in yourself AND your relationship.

- Let’s be honest: The temptation to “fix” your wife has NOTHING to do with her, and you NEED to understand the KEY reason you react to problems instead of anticipating them.

- If you want to make the switch from fixer to leader, listen to Mark break down his THREE steps to expose your insecurities and lead from a place of strength—it all starts with stopping THIS toxic behavior.

- Before you react out of desperation, remember these TWO simple words, take a breath, and remind yourself that you need to practice THIS if you want to lead from strength.
