from The LadyBoss Lounge Podcast · host Maren Barnard
Being in business requires you to wear many hats and the pressures to succeed can be overwhelming, especially if you are working with a spouse or close friend.How often do you hear of partnerships failing between business partners because the pressures of separating business and friendship becomes too much. But, it doesn’t have to be that way for you. Working together with a spouse or close friend can be extremely powerful when you maximise each person’s capabilities to the fullest. Now, let me be clear. I am NOT a relationship expert but having been married for almost 30 years and working together for almost that entire period with the same man, we have learnt one or 2 lessons along the way which has helped to keep us both sane, still married and still in business together...and YES we do actually still like each other too 😂Today, Stephen and I am sharing a few things that have worked for us over the last 30 years and can work for you too.ENJOY!If you’re looking to AUTOMATE & SCALE your online business then you may be interested in trying out Kajabi for free (sign up with the link below).
