GEMS DROPPED“To ambition as a couple, to ambition with a spouse, requires some foundational things that you just got to have in place such as love, respect, kindness, mutual willingness. If these are missing then there's nothing else to talk about.”“If you have a habit of feeling like you have to be on top of everything and own everything, it will bleed across multiple areas of your life and work, and it will get you into trouble in various ways.”“At some point you have to recognize like, okay, well, if I have a holistic view on all the things that I want to accomplish in life and this piece of me over owning is keeping me from the things that I want for myself. It's basically pushing me out of the equation. The solve is simply. You may be setting up your partners to be the intern. So step back and let your partner, your spouse, exercise and build their competence. Because your co-CEOs, your co-leaders, your one, your a unit.”“We'll convince ourselves that things are scarce when we haven't directed ourselves towards wanting what we want and asserting what we want. And then you move towards what you want and then you create what you want. Like that's kind of how it works. And we don't give ourselves space to do that. We don't take it seriously because we just need to respond to the demands. We need to be reactionary. And I'm telling y', all, if you don't give yourself this space, then no one can get into that space with you and help you build towards it.”STAY IN TOUCHCome and follow me on Instagram @moniquershields and I would love your feedback so send an email to [email protected].
