The Best Valentine Gift

ValentineBearDon’t forget next week on Saturday is Valentine’s Day (Feb 14th). Yes, I’m speaking to the guys reading this. I know the ladies won’t forget, but the guys can get in some serious trouble.

What are you going to give your Valentine this year?

I’ve given my wife bracelets, rings, iPods, etc. One year I told her I’d buy her anything she wanted for her Valentine’s gift. ANYTHING…

She choose a new truck (Toyota Tundra). You know you live in the country when your wife chooses a truck for her Valentine’s Day present! Sounds kind of like a Jeff Foxworthy joke.

I haven’t decided on her present this year. Still thinking about what would have the “Wow” effect I try to create each time. Any ideas? Can’t be a trip because she is taking RN classes through May (at least not a trip till after that).

So what does a message about Valentine’s Day have to do with an internet business blog…especially over a week BEFORE the date?

Good question. Besides wanting to save some of the guys reading this from trouble, too often internet marketers get consumed by their business.

Do you take time off for your loved ones? I expect you will be taking next Saturday off with their sweetheart, but I also want to encourage you to do the same EVERY WEEK. There should be a day together or at least a night out that you schedule regularly.

I’ve seen many entrepreneurs who get so consumed by their business that everything else suffers…their wife/husband, their children, and their friends. Eventually they even sacrifice their health. All because they’re consumed by it.

I’ve seen these same entrepreneurs say it isn’t about the money. In some cases I believe them. They never take time to spend it so it can’t really be about the money. It’s often issues such as self-esteem (among others).

That’s part of the reason I’m so focused on helping my customers Earn More, Work Less, and Enjoy Life!

It’s about the lifestyle.

Make a daily schedule for your business. In that schedule, MAKE SURE there is time for your loved ones.

The best Valentine’s gift is you…and your time.

But most girlfriends & wives won’t accept that as your only gift…so back to the drawing board of what to give this year.

Any great ideas?

As another Valentine’s Day sidenote, many in my audience are Christians. So I’ve been asked by a friend to share an event he is doing for married Christian couples.

Do you ever wish that you could re-ignite the passion in your marriage? Robert Irwin may have the solution. He and his wife are Christian relationship experts. Their books and resources have helped thousands of Christian couples to improve their marriages and sex lives.

Their resources are not for everyone; they are specifically designed for married couples seeking a Christian and Biblical perspective on marriage and married sex. But, if you are a married Christian, wishing for more intimacy, you should check out their Virtual Marriage Retreat starting next week.

What is a Virtual Marriage Retreat? It is an online version of their “Re-Kindle The Passion” seminar and retreat program. This format means that you and your spouse can gain all of the benefits of a physical retreat…without leaving the comfort of your home…or the travel expenses. Robert and Susan are giving away as bonuses, their whole “Christian Library” and two free email consultations. Thousands have paid $37.00 each for the six books included in this “bonus giveaway.” All told, they are giving away over $420.00 in resources.

So, even if you can’t (or don’t care to) attend the Virtual Retreat event, it would be still be worth taking advantage of their offer! You can obtain their entire (very) popular library collection and the email consultations for over $300 less than others have paid.

    Bought my wife a day spa massage, pedicure and manicure. It’s about a 4-hour pampering session. She loves that stuff. She can schedule it at her convenience. It’s something she’d never do for herself though.

    I’m not married, and I don’t currently have a boyfriend, but if I *did* have one, with semi-deep pockets, I would want him to buy me Terry’s Internet Lifestyle System training course. ;) You can give a girl a box of chocolates, or you can teach her how to make enough money to buy the whole chocolate store…

    Leonard stole my suggestion :) but I only thought of a simple hour massage.

    A happy thing at our home is for me to read to my husband while he sits across from me in another chair and rubs my feet and ankles.

    Try to figure out what makes her feel most loved. (Taken from “The Five Love Languages ” by Gary Chapman) Affirmation, Gifts, Physical Touch, Quality Time, Acts of Service. Then do something that includes that “language”.

    You can usually figure out what “language” appeals to your spouse by desires expressed or complaints made, or what they do for you.

    Valentine’s Day is sometimes getting to become crisis in choosing which gift to give women. For me though, it’s a lot different, I just buy a card and let her see how the online business is going and talk her about ideas on how to improve it.

    It’s a bit boring to some but to my love, she likes talking about business so I just give her what she likes best.

    You know what? It’s really the thought of giving her what she likes best and not what you think would be best for her. This kind of thinking make women smile all the time.

    Terry,

    Maybe it is time for you to get her a REAL nice car. Get her a HUMMER or a MERCEDES.

    She will LOVE IT.

    Hi All,

    Good suggestions everyone. Now I have to think of something unique again (I try to be very unique). Everyone does the flower thing and many do the massages.

    Tal: some people would love the nice car, but my wife is more the type who would prefer a backpacking item (remember when given the choice for absolutely anything she chose a truck).

    Jack: Aren’t you a lucky dude! If I talked to about the business as a gift, I’d get killed.

    Clara: In my opinion, the best answer! Good idea as I’ve read Five Love Languages also (a very good book).
