They were destined for divorce, and living pay check to pay check. It seemed there was always more month than money, a lot of stress, and lack of peace in the family. With two young kids, Yetta, was a cryer and a screamer, while Ken was an angry yeller. There was so much strife, tension and unforgiveness in their relationship that it was just not a fun to come home. At the time, they were attempting to consolidate their debt for the fourth time so they could keep up with the payments as they were spending more than they earned. Ken and Yetta didn't have the skills to communicate well with each other. Ken was yelling at their kids, trying to get them to respect him, just like his father used to do. They really did not want to get a divorce, like Ken’s parents had when his dad announced on Ken’s 18th birthday, “you are a man now so I am out of here” and they just did not see another alternative. Ken’s wish was to buy their first investment property, and to raise socially responsible children and Yetta just wanted to earn enough money to leave Ken and go back to her home town with the kids. Ken felt he needed to make this work, so he wouldn't have to look bad. His outward image was more important than what happened behind closed doors. Staying away at work even more hours to pay debt had the effect of making things even worse in their family.
Ken really wanted to be able to keep the family together and keep a roof over their heads, and drive a nice car. Ultimately he desired to retire at 45, and travel, and have a high functioning family.
They were struggling with applying the information they had and even more so having the knowledge and wisdom to make the right decisions in the moment. There was not a good family role model to follow. Ken really wanted to be able to keep the family together and keep a roof over their heads and Yetta did not want to admit defeat because she had always figured out how to succeed.
To make things worse, they felt terrible because they had a good work ethic, and weren’t building the life that they truly wanted, and that they felt they were capable of attaining. Ken felt even worse because the more he worked hard for money, the more stressed and angry he became and the more he took it out on his my family. The family that he was working so hard to provide a great life for. Ken felt like he was a dreamer stuck working for someone else, building someone else's dream, and that he didn't have the guts to build his own dream and the knowledge to build a beautiful family life.
The problem was that Ken was having difficulties with his identity as a provider and knowing who he was meant to be. Yetta struggled with having begun focusing on making money over caring for her clients and so her sales actually went down. One day Ken came home and announced he had quit his dead end job and Yetta was dumbfounded at the news. After being turned down for a ton of jobs Ken realized his skills seemed non transferable to what he now wanted to do. Hitting the wall in this case meant that he was trying new small businesses, and he was spending more money than he was earning, Ken dropped into a depression. In this case, hitting the wall actually meant that he felt he was a dreamer that wasn't able to do anything, and that Yetta no longer believed in his dreams.
It was now crystal clear, she didn't believe in him either.
Then, as if by chance, something amazing happened...
That's when fortunately, Ken’s Dad visited them and asked them to go to church on an Easter Sunday. At church that Sunday, Yetta saw a couple that had a beautiful sparkle in their eyes and obviously had the love that she secretly deeply longed for. Yetta wondered for the first time in a really long time, if she could get what they had! Yetta in a flash moment realized to live a great life it would require new information, mentors, and guides. Discovering this “how to secret” of having mentors meant that she and Ken were not the problem; they just didn't have the right information and the right people in their life to show them the way.
They also learned that being independent and selfish and secretive with their problems was part of the problem. Ken and Yetta’s problems, that they thought were so unique to them, were more universal between individuals and couples than they had ever imagined. They were not alone, many also struggled with the same problems. If this resonates with you, I highly recommend that you should stop keeping your problems secret and instead look for that mentor or a couple that have overcome the same problems you are struggling with instead.
As a result of realizing that they needed mentors, they found one and hired them immediately, they read books, and attended seminars. In the last 25 years they have invested in themselves over $507,400!
After doing the work, that their coaches/mentors taught them, they are now that loving couple like they saw in church that day, and their children are happily married and they are grandparents of seven wonderful kids!
Suddenly, Ken was 45 and financially able to retire, and they chose not to because they now absolutely loved what they did! Ken can be heard saying, “You never have to work a day in your life when you love what you do!”
At the time, when they were trying to consolidate debt, and they were spending more than they earned, Ken and Yetta didn't have the skills to communicate well with each other. Ken was yelling at his kids trying to get then to respect him. That's when it became crystal clear to them that the secret was learning from the best to get the tools, techniques and tips to have a fulfilling, joyful, harmonious family life.
Their plan was to move from success to significance by helping others to accomplish what they had done for their own lives.
So they started by writing their book "The Wealth Formula". But they didn’t stop there.
They developed and hosted live seminars in multiple countries on getting out of debt and building wealth while having a fantastic marriage.
After that, they created their business "Double Dekker" to assist people to design and fulfill the dreams of their life. So they would have simple harmonious lives. What they paid over half a million dollars to learn, they boiled down into a simple plan.
But there was still a problem...
Even after all that, things were still not perfect. They continued to learn every day. Ken and Yetta still have fights. They discovered the "P" in perfect stands for poison. "Perfect" is a moving target, none of us will ever achieve perfect. Ken and Yetta love that they have a better life today than they had yesterday, cherish the present and they look forward to an even better tomorrow.
They ended up getting so frustrated with the trial and error method that they decided to create simple programs to follow that cause exponential results. Ken and Yetta resolved to always be working together and on themselves, to continuously work towards having a harmonious life, through ongoing learning, and having mentors.
One of the programs they created was the “Boundless Life Design” which is their whole life design program which covers the Financial, Physical, Mental, Relational and Spiritual areas of a harmonious life.
They wanted to reduce the relational breakups (those estranged from families, or in a committed loving relationship) by helping couples and individuals design a fulfilling, harmonious life. If they could do that they would be really fulfilled and happy.
So after creating the Boundless Life Design, they had to overcome their own mindsets and get out of their comfort zones, it was comfortable for them to earn a lot of money through their existing career in real estate sales and so changing their mindsets and pivoting to serving people through creating the Boundless Life Design, was a hurdle for them that they had to overcome.
Though it sounds too good to be true, I can now say that they have assisted many people in having flourishing relationships, financial peace, and vitality in their lives.
They then started to help other couples who own a business, who had some success, but their life was out of harmony through their Boundless Life Design which is their life design program.
As a result of all this, they have saved marriages, they have taken people from broke and broken to financially free and whole. Ken and Yetta have also facilitated the restoration of estranged family relationships. As a result of their facilitation, people are falling in love with themselves again and are having thriving fulfilling lives.
After creating the Boundless Life Design which is their life design program, Ken and Yetta were able to achieve their dream of being able to help individuals and couples through their, books, online courses, one on one mentor-ship, couples mentor-ship, and their live and online events. They have also been able to stop worrying and beating themselves up, because they are truly doing what they were put on this earth to do. Ken and Yetta now love who they are being and what they are doing. They are in integrity!
And in the end, all of this means, Ken and Yetta are now able to have a fulfilling career, a joyful family as well as a wonderful harmonious life, and they get to assist others to do the same.
