Why Does Combining Marriage And Business Require...
The main reason is that life partners who work together inevitably blend their deepest, most intimate relationship into the world of business. The traditional line between work and family disappears.
When the couple is at work in a professional setting, they are (hopefully) still in love. When they are at home, they are still a professional team. If there is conflict at the office, those same...

panthermba:
One of the main goals I have set for myself to accomplish in the next five to ten years is to become a bonafide successful entrepreneur. In fact, most of the benefit I saw in going back to school was in learning more about starting a business and meeting people who could help me in that process.

The Silver Back Gorilla And Queen Bee Approach To...
The business world and employee interactions are amazing, yet complex phenomena. And, to paint a ‘real life’ picture: no two human personalities are alike. In fact, partners in business are oftentimes polar opposites, breeding conflict and dissention. Can two highly energetic, creative, and pioneering professionals (even life partners) not only co-exist, but thrive in running a...

Taking Three Months Off From Your Business
Do you believe that it's possible to take three months off from your business? Are you an entrepreneur and/or small business owner feeling burned out or "shackled" to your job? The venture you began (or took over) promising to give you more flexibility and time has in fact produced the opposite—responsibilities which never seem to end.

What do you think?

Inner Dialogue: Your Biggest Asset Or Your Biggest...
It’s one thing to read one of the many books about how Sir Richard Branson thinks and acts, but it’s another thing altogether to actually implement his strategies. The gap between most people and Richard Branson has a lot to do with having the right mindset. Equally, there’s another important factor to understand because this too can impede the success of small business entrepreneurs. It’s called...

Why We Wrote A Book On Life And Business...
The reason being is that William and I learned from our own life experience that the rules for businesses run by life partners are very different to the rules for running a ‘normal’ business—meaning those that are not run by life partners. And, unfortunately, there was very little help for life partners who were working together. However, with the likes of the Family Institute and Family Business...

Marketing Leaders To Believe In →
A great insight into what motivates people to follow leaders in the market. Thank you so much bradfriesen for this wisdom to share!
Marketing leaders understand the importance of harnessing emotion to inspire action. The failure of most marketers is that they focus ineffectively on what their product or services do, as opposed to articulating why they exist.
We are an irrational species and we...
