Raising Kids Without Smartphones: Tracey Robson-Garth on Parenting, Discipline & Jiu-Jitsu as a Lifestyle

🥋 How does balancing family, business, and wellbeing help you succeed in life and negotiations?In this episode of Rolling Through Negotiations, we’re joined by Tracey Robson Garth, an entrepreneur and mother who has mastered the art of juggling multiple successful businesses while raising her children with resilience and discipline. Tracey shares how her experiences in both family life and business mirror the strategic mindset needed for effective negotiations, both in business and on the BJJ mats.🎯 Key Insights:Balancing Business and Family: Tracey opens up about how she built her businesses from the ground up, all while being a dedicated mom, showing how the skills needed for parenting translate into the world of business. Setting Clear Non Negotiable in Family Life: Tracey explains how having firm rules in her household: like no smartphones, early bedtimes, and mandatory Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for her kids, helps create clarity and structure. Knowing what you won’t compromise on creates a strong foundation, helping you focus on what truly matters and avoid unnecessary concessions.Resilience Through Discipline: Tracey’s approach to teaching her children resilience through BJJ is a reminder that discipline and persistence are key drivers of success. Respecting Individual Needs: Tracey shares how she and her husband navigate their differing preferences: like her love for social gatherings and his preference for quieter time, by respecting each other’s needs. In negotiation, whether at home or in business, recognising and respecting the other party’s needs builds trust and helps create agreements that work for both sides.So, tie your belts and join us for a heartwarming conversation about the intersection of family, business, and personal growth. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
