Two super successful and well known millionaire experts were in attendance of a recent live event Tom conducted. When Tom asked the audience, "How can we have a long fuse for our prospects and clients, then have a short fuse with those who are most important to us: our spouse, children, and business partners or employees?" One wife yelled and pointed to her expert husband, “This is exactly what I was telling you about!” How can you be so calm and cool with those strangers and be so short with me?” She and he both thanked Tom for that brief yet powerful lesson which has dramatically improved their relationship. The other expert shared with me he and his wife were on the verge of divorce and this one simple lesson saved their relationship. They never saw it from that simple perspective. Both millionaires now choose the long fuse with their spouses and family, just like they do for their prospects and clients. Sidenote: they're human, so they still have the short fuse moments on occasion, but they discussed strategies and philosophies with Tom about how to handle that, as well. How to properly learn from it and ask for forgiveness.
