Investing with your spouse is not always the easiest, but Grace Yarber has figured this out and taken it one step further! A few years ago, after making the bold move to quit her job, she and her husband designed the “life” they wanted FIRST and then aligned their business around it. On today’s episode, we cover a ton with Grace, including two key strategies to use to avoid frustration when investing with your spouse, the #1 phrase to say to male contractors when you are NOT perceived as the decision-maker, and why cold showers are a MUST!
