RE: Global Eyes

in Reflections2 months ago

It is good to have a life partner who helps you help themselves since you are in the same boat. It does not always happen that way. My first wife was talented in many things like languages, etc. But she was not a good partner we could not collaborate on anything no matter how hard I tried. I feel that things that I have achieved during that marriage was despite her and not because of her helping with anything.

With my second wife I am way more lucky. Our collaboration was very successful in selling two houses in a very short time-frame and at a great price point and market timing. Those were initially my properties, but she helped ALOT, was critical to the success of both sales. She also was critical in my recent promotion from Software Engineer Principal to the Solutions Architect, without her coaching it would have been impossible. And that promotion came with a nice increase which we are both enjoying.

Her new business is executive coaching, but more like helping people to get to the next level in their career so she was phenomenal when helping me overcome the obstacles to that promotion. She knows nothing about technology or architecture, but that didn't stop her and it was crucial for me to recognize that despite all my expertise in those fields I sorely needed her help to present my case to the decision makers.

Now I just need to figure out how to better collaborate with her in crypto investing :)

It is not a healthy way to live in a romantic relationship, is it?

And the both enjoying is important. Money doesn't bring me much joy, but being able to buy things for my family does. Sharing the good times, also makes sharing the difficult times easier. Some people are only "fair-weather friends"

As I am in a similar field to your wife, I wish more engineers would realise this :)

Good luck! She already knows that crypto is a scam. ;D

LOL, well she at a bit better position than crypto is a scam. She just thinks SPS and Hive are dead and that I should be focusing on other newer crypto coins that are on Coinbase or on BTC / ETH.
