I've worked with my husband for 17 years And we almost got divorced Here are 9 quick tips for working with your spouse 1. Don't be a dream killer  When my husband came to me with his first idea, we were pregnant & broke. His idea excited & terrified me. But I didn't kill it. I fed it & it changed me, and we've had some crazy success. I know I'm better today because of the risks we took long ago

2. Don't suffer in silence I never wanted to be a burden to my husband so I stressed in silence. Over time we were distant. Distance became disconnection. Don't be afraid to tell your partner what you love & what terrifies you about the life & business you are creating together.

3. Your sex life is a priority A sexless marriage & a thriving business aren't that fun. Trust me. You can make all the money in the world, but if there's no intimacy in your marriage, the business just becomes a thing to do. Be intentional & create space for intimacy every day.

4. Tell your partner 5 things you like about them before you critique them We all work hard. But does our spouse see it? Before you tell them what's bugging you about working with them.Tell them 5 things you appreciate . When we are seen we are more open to feedback.

5. Develop a backboneWhen we started our 1st business I was terrified. I had no idea how to run a business. So I leaned on my husband A LOT. If he made a mistake, I got MAD. I was afraid and I blamed him for it. So I developed skills & my own confidence & now we stand together.

6. Find your sweet spot You are GOOD at something and your partner is GOOD at something . Do you know how to make your differences work together? Opposites attract so learn to use and leverage those differences to create a  well-rounded business . It will be magic if you do 7. Let your partner goIf you can't be on your own, you'll struggle being together. If your partner makes you feel bad, then you'll have to control them to feel good. They don't MAKE you feel anything. You are responsible for your own emotions. It's always been you facing you

8. Let them see ALL of you I used to hide the "ugly" parts of myself thinking my husband would reject me. But I was blocking intimacy. I became robotic. But then I broke and he saw it all. And he accepted it all. I've never felt more loved. And we've never worked better together

9. Love the HECK out of your partner Your person is alive. Their heart is beating and they are standing in front of you today. That is a miracle in and of itself. Be sure to tell them EVERY DAY what they mean to you . Learn to adore them. And let them adore you back. Running a business with your partner can be the BEST or WORST thing in your life. And it's all about how much you are willing to face yourself. Change you, change your marriage and your business will grow always...
