3 Types of Men: Emotional Intelligence Self assessment

Podcast - The Daily Edge

I’ve been on the phone with hundreds of CEOs and business owners, walking them through how to handle the current crisis. And here are three types of men who are showing up right now:

The VICTIM

The victim is looking to be bailed out. He wants someone else to save him, and has no confidence in himself to take action to improve his situation. He freezes in the moment of crisis, and can’t make decisions. He can’t think of any solution.

The INFORMATION ADDICT

This is the man who wants to take action, but he convinces himself that before he does, he has to know everything about everything. He recognizes that there are opportunities, but he stops himself from taking them.He lacks certainty and is paralyzed by fear, because he thinks too much and acts too little.

The EXECUTIVE/EXECUTIONER

He’s willing to take an imperfect action because an imperfect action is always better than being paralyzed with fear. He may not know what to do, but he’s certain of himself that he will find a way.

What makes the difference between the three is the level of emotional intelligence. Having the emotional intelligence to weather the storm is the difference between seeing the gift in the pain and crumbling when the pressure is on.

Watch this video to see how men can get through this crisis, and how you can get the Edge.

What You Can Do To Save Your Marriage?

On this episode of God, Money & Purpose, Raul and Vivian Villacis discuss what their takeaway was from the interview that Oprah did with Prince Harry and Dutchess Meghan. As a quick refresher, Meghan, formerly an actress, is American and bi-racial, which caused a lot of conflict between Harry and the rest of the royal family. Harry, who had to grow up without his mother, Princess Diana, decided that the best way to protect his family was to cut ties with the royal family and live a relatively private life. The two had to essentially start their lives over, with each other for support.
Having control of your money is a form of emotional fitness.

Being able to make intelligent decisions with money, rather than be impulsive, or ignore purchases that “don’t count” means you have that emotional fitness.

When you have two people who mix their finances, it can quickly create tension if you aren’t on the same page about money, or don’t know where the money is going at the end of the month.

What Does Certainty Mean in a Marriage?

On this episode of God, Money & Purpose, Raul and Vivian Villacis reflect on what certainty means. As Raul always says, certainty is not knowing the answers, it’s knowing you’ll do whatever it takes to get them. Many businessmen have certainty in their business, but no clue to have certainty at home. Their wives end up resenting them for spending all that time in the office and not spending time with them and being emotionally present when they are together
