Working with your sweetie should be nothing but sweet, right? It might not always be a walk in the park, but it can be a really fun and exciting journey, too - as long as you have the right tools. In this episode, we each share how we’ve worked with our spouses (including the time Carolina fired her then-husband ☕️), our key lessons for entrepreneurial couples, and so much more. Our friend Nicole Milone is back to share her own experience with working with her husband, Doug, after she became the CEO of Solaris Wealth.
As business owners, burnout is a feeling we know all too well. Our friend and fellow business owner, Julie Bee, wrote Burned: How Business Owners Can Overcome Burnout and Fuel Success to give you practical strategies to overcome burnout, integrate work and life, and achieve sustainable success. Grab your copy of Burned today to Burn Bright, Not Out—because your business and well-being deserve both.
