Are you frustrated with your spouse's lack of motivation to get help with you? 

You might be surprised to learn that motivation is not a character trait, it's really a state of mind.

And here's the good news — by understanding what actually motivates your spouse, you can discover the best way to approach them and positively encourage forward movement.

In this episode we're interviewing motivation experts, Matt and Maria Granados.  Matt and Maria began their journey of helping others build an intentional life during their own dating adventures together — and now six years later, their organization, Life Pulse Inc. has grown to help thousands of individuals and dozens of organizations strategize their daily path to fulfillment.

This dynamic couple shares valuable insights around what they call "The 4 Motivation Catalysts".  These catalysts are powerful and can be utilized to empower your spouse (and your kids as well).

Listen in on this fascinating conversation about what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to motivating others toward change.   And learn how you can apply Motivation Catalysts as you support your partner in doing something new — without manipulating or nagging.    

You'll Discover:

  • 4 Catalysts that spark motivation

  • A powerful tool to make getting help worth your partner's time, even if they've been resistant

  • How to connect with your partner's personal values - to give them purpose in moving toward your mutual goals

  • How to drive your spouse toward positive change, without manipulating

  • The Do's and Don'ts of using motivation catalysts in your relationship

  • The difference between 'Being' and 'Telling' — and why it's so important

  • How to empower your partner (and your kids) by understanding their motivation catalysts
