It’s time! We’ve finally gotten to sit back down and have an Alpha Female discussion. Spring is in the air and with it will come extremely LONG days for Craig so we knew we had to get it in. Listen as he shares what’s going on down on the farm and we chat about our family updates.  Corn is up in prices and we’ve been preparing the fields and the equipment to get the highest yield. Craig shares what that looks like as we try to record in a house full of needy kids! He’s also taken up day trading and watching a ton of financial shows. His interest has been piqued and he’s been reading and learning and watching which is why he hasn’t actually done much investing yet. But it’s fun to hear him talk about it.  The first thing Craig doesn’t know… I want to get rid of these kittens. There’s definitely more but after my Grandma passed away we split up her cats and the older cats are just so much more manageable. Also, I’m getting my ears pierced again! Craig and I have so much fun doing these episodes and giving you a peek into our lives and our family. We hope you enjoy it today!

“When you are married to an alpha female, remember the mantra, it’s no big deal.” Errin and Craig Weisman

• How he empowers!  

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR. DAVID YEH

1. The definition of wealth can be simple. I can mean the amount of money you need to live on for the rest of your life. It doesn’t need to mean something completely out of reach….unattainable, multiple luxurious vacations a year, or a closet full of exquisite bags….it just needs to be enough for you to live. So take that for what it’s worth and start building your wealth
2. The worst thing that can happen as an investor is to make a lot of money quickly which leads to arrogance and overconfidence. Learn to make systems so emotions will not sabotage!
3. Being equal in your marriage DOES NOT MEAN being the SAME. There is just no such thing, so we might as well stop comparing ourselves to our spouses or anyone else.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• What is my definition of wealth?
• In the dance of life that is my marriage...do I lead or do I shine?
• Is my financial advisor a fiduciary?

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR PHIL BOUCHER

1. Know when to place the needs of your spouse or children above your own and when to prioritize your own self care. This is an important distinction that often does not come naturally. We learn as we go. How do I want to make my families’ life better in this situation? Another good question to ask yourself at the moment I will borrow from my dear friends Dr. Alexandra Stockwell who recently came to speak with my Women Physicians coaching group. She offers to ask ourselves, what does everyone in this family need right now, including me?
2. 1. Example: Dinner, TV, bedtime, alone time, reconnection time
   2. When I am overwhelmed, angry, and victimize myself, I have learned that all I need is often 10-15 minutes to reset...take a shower, think about why I am really feeling the way I feel and a moment to take ownership for my feelings instead of blaming them on someone else.  
3. Do not wait for someone else to make your life more efficient. If you crave efficiency and you notice wasted time at work, suggest a solution. Remember not to focus on the problem as in any negotiation. Present two best options to your group. If neither option is adopted, create one for yourself. Templates...a scribe, get creative, find alternative methods. This won’t happen overnight. 
   1. Make a list of your shared values
   2. Family Time
   3. Home
   4. Experiences
   5. Material Items
   6. Charity
   7. Notice if your shared values support increased spending habits...if so figure out how to increase your salary. 
   8. Evaluate what your variables can be shifted in your home to help align  
   9. What variables can I shift to support my spending habits?
4. Create shared values with your spouse. 
   1. A Dream Home
   2. The Headboard
   3. The Luxury Car
5. Examples: Time with family on weekends, annual couple only vacations, Grandparents

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• Do I have a good balance between self care and self sacrifice?
• What can I delegate in my life?
• How can my spouse and I create more shared visions?
• Do my values support my spending habits?
