Key Talking Points
- Make sure you leave work at work- if all you talk about is the shop at home, you’ll never get a chance to take a break. Be intentional about putting your phone and laptop away when you’re at home.
- Don’t neglect your hobbies and outlets- make time for your own space especially if you work together
- Take time for your relationship- relationships have different layers (work, family, spousal)
- Don’t try to read each other’s minds, or think your spouse can read yours- be transparent and hold each other accountable with open communication. You also can’t overreact when being told to be present.
- Support each other 100%- don’t fight in front of employees
- Know your roles with no gray area- know what the expectations are for each other
- Advice for those thinking of opening a business together- can you work together? How are you when you work on something together at home? A project? What are your future plans together?
