Main Points in Working With Your Spouse

1. Boundaries are important. From where you are working, when work discussion stops, and who is owning what.
2. Success depends on whether or not you give attention to your doubters or your vision.
3. Create vision boards together. Remember, what you think about you bring about.

  “Mom, You’re Always Working” What to Do When Family Life and Business Collide
  Have you ever heard the phrase, “When you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time”? It might sound simple, but it’s a powerful truth when it comes to running a successful retail business. At The Boutique Hub, we live by another variation of this idea: Only a tracked number will grow. If you’re not actively tracking the most important numbers in your business, you’re missing out on the opportunity to grow them. It’s not about being “good with numbers,” it’s about being intentional with your focus. Because when you consistently track something—whether it’s sales, traffic, or inventory—you naturally start to improve it.
