Unmet expectations!
Stop and look back at the last time you were frustrated with your life or business partner. Odds are it was because he/she did not meet your expectations.
Expectations of…
- Leaving the toilet seat up or down
- Making the bed
- Meeting you at the restaurant on time
- And so on.
So, most every time you find your level of frustration on the rise it is because your partner acted contrary to one of your myriad expectations. Now that you’ve become more or re-aware of this what can you do about it…besides hoot and holler?
The first step is to identify what the expectation is
For example: My husband expects that we arrive at least 15 minutes early for meetings where we are the speakers, as he likes to greet attendees and take our position behind the podium in a timely manner. When for some reason I get caught talking with someone outside he gets perturbed.
Now before we had a dialog about this and how important it is to him I didn’t have a clue. The same holds true for how he and I squeeze the toothpaste!
What are your expectations with your life partner regarding…
- Taking out the trash [who does it and when, every day or only when it reeks to high heaven?]
- Being intimate
- Raising your children
- Getting the oil changed
- Balancing the check book
- Hanging out with members of the opposite sex
- Time and effort put forth
- Taking time off
- Doing the work neither of you much enjoy
- And the list goes on.
Where do our expectations come from?
Our expectations generally are spawned during our childhood years. I recall when our daughter was about five years old and she came home from visiting our neighbors rather concerned and said, “Jason’s mommy and daddy are mad and his daddy went away. Mommies and daddies must stay together.” Her expectation was [and still is now that she is 26 and married] that couples work it out.

Definition: Niche Marketing, A marketing segmentation strategy in which the firm focuses on serving one segment of the market. This type of marketing is very much like segmented marketing, only the segments are smaller -- a niche is a small, distinguishable segment that can be uniquely served.Today the internet is so vast that one of the most critical requirements, for success is to find your niche market. Another way of saying it is to pin point your target market. By occupying a niche you do not have to compete with others solely on a price basis. Your product, service or message will be

Do you wish you had more time in your day? Doesn't it always seem that if we just had a few more minutes, we could finish a task or project? Welcome to the fast fifteen!Usually we think of fifteen minutes as negligible in view of the larger projects and tasks that surround us. Let's examine different ways that 15 minutes could be more productive.Are you a victim of other people's agendas? If we are in `reactive' mode, then our fifteen minutes may be something like this: on hold on the telephone, waiting in line, in a traffic jam, waiting to talk with a colleague in the office, waitin

Doing Car Wash fundraisers to help raise funds for kid’s organizations, makes a lot of sense, as the kids are making their own money and they can generate significant dollars to offset the costs of the club, team or youth group.It is possible to do a car wash fundraiser where no run-off goes into any body of water or storm drain. And I therefore you should look into ways to get this done. Otherwise you will be polluting the environment and breaking the law. You should be cognizant of this and only do a car wash fundraiser if you can do it legitimately.Now remember the authorities kn

To be a leader means not only to be in charge of others it also means to be in charge of one's self!Although this may sound like an obvious statement you might not be surprised by how many so-called "leaders" behave as if they are on automatic pilot. That is they are unconscious of the choices that they are making.What do I mean by unconscious?Well I'm referring to making choices that are driven by deeply held emotional factors that were largely learned from early life experiences. Such behaviors are often "imprinted" into one's nervous system as a result of failed or traumati

Choose your battles
Depending on the expectation you may want to concede so that in another area your partner will agree to your preference. Determine which expectations are most important to you and which are most important to your partner. Be prepared for some give and take.
Find a better way.
When expectations are in conflict, it is frequently best to sit back and look at what is best for the situation or the relationship. Who takes out the trash may vary according to work schedule and availability. When to take out the trash may be determined by sanitary concerns. When individual expectations clash the fastest way to resolve the concern is to create a totally new expectation that fits you and your life or business partner best.
If you are a workaholic working 16 hours a day and your partner puts in 8hours you need to look at what your business demands and set your expectations to line up with your business plan and goals.
In a partnership, life or business, remember that your expectations may need to be realigned so that they work for the good of the relationship.
