Last week one of our blog readers commented how she really wanted to come to a CONFIDENCE Workshop. But her husband had concerns about the cost, especially since she doesn’t have a photography business.

“It is just an hour away…but I can’t seem to convince hubby to pony up the money…he is the greatest husband, father, and provider for our family and I understand his concern, it’s big bucks-especially when you don’t have a photography business in place to theoretically “recoup” the costs-but I feel like it is too big of an opportunity to pass up. I mean…hello, Me Ra and Brian, in our neck of the woods?! Heck yeah! Does anyone have any tips for convincing a reluctant (Husband) to take the plunge??? (Or rather, to let his wife take the plunge)”

Soon after a number of other women chimed in with the same request-”Tell us how to convince our hubbies!”

Never fear ladies, Brian and Jeramy are HERE!

Here are the TOP 12 Reasons for a Husband to send his wife to a Me Ra Koh CONFIDENCE Workshop. Yes, I’m taking this seriously ladies. I recruited the big gun, our famous male token blog commenter, Jeramy. Let me say his reasons are all authentic, drawing from his own experience of sending his wife TWICE! Feel free to print and share with your hubbies.

1. When your wife gets home from the weekend, it will be tough for her to be angry about the “honey do’s” that you still HAVEN’T done yet. (Jeramy)
2. Pizza rolls and cool-aid are finally appropriate food choices for the kids for once in their life. Whatever is easiest. Just as long as your kids know YOU ARE the MAN! (oh, and did I mention, Movie Night, Every Night?) (Brian and Jeramy)
3. When your wife gets home, she can explain what ‘f-stop’ means. (Jeramy)
4. Divorce attorney’s cost WAY more than the workshop does. (Jeramy)
5. As a husband, you’ll get entry to “Brian’s secret pub crawl” before the meet and greet. (Jeramy)
6. Your wife will sing your praises for the next 6 months minimum. (If you’re really creative about how you surprise her, it could be praises for over a year! Being creative with the whole surprise part is KEY. Just as Wendy Z. from Sonoma’s wkshp!) (Brian)
7. You get to find out if Brian Koh really DOES know how to use a camera (Jeramy)
8. If your wife has talked to you about her five love languages, and you can only seem to express one…never fear, the workshop is guaranteed to express all five for YOU. (Man, we make you look good!) (Brian)
9. After your wife attends the workshop, it won’t seem so weird that you comment on MeRa’s blog every day. (this was obviously Jeramy’s)
10. Your wife will use 9,987 of her 10,000 words per day AT the CONFIDENCE workshop. (Jeramy)
11. If she cries that weekend, dude, it won’t be YOUR fault for once. (Brian)

AND NUMBER 12! The VERY BEST REASON FOR SENDING YOUR WIFE TO THE CONFIDENCE WORKSHOP!

12. You will have a winning answer for her TRICK question “Honey, what do you think about my photography?” Instead of being the deer in the headlights (because there is no right answer) You can say with CONFIDENCE “Uhh? Well? Uh? What do those 19 other women from your workshop say? I think you’re AWESOME!” (Brian)
