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.
