  • Have You Got ‘The Success Factor’?

    In this episode of Business Marriage we discuss stepping into your greatness and how to become the person you want to be.


    From our dream office to a warehouse full of matching underwear, we go over what our dream lives look like and get into the nitty gritty of what we have compared to what we want. James points out the importance of knowing what you’re trying to achieve whilst Hayley tries to glide away from the hard-hitting questions.


    We also go on ‘The Success Factor’ and reveal some previously unknown facts about ourselves! Which of us had the better sob story and won the trip of a lifetime to every Holiday Inn around the UK?


    Whilst you’re on your journey to greatness why not stop off in Ilford for today’s Small Business Shoutout, Wazir, for some of the best Turkish and Persian food in London: https://wazzirrestaurant.co.uk/

    • The Importance Of Switching Off

      In this episode of Business Marriage we reflect on the importance of switching off and relaxing.


      Having just got back from a lovely relaxing family holiday, we really need a break. We reflect on our work-life balance, or the “life blend” we have created for ourselves (hopefully that term catches on!), and how we enjoy working hard but need to recognise when to switch off.


      James worries about how he looks on camera whilst Hayley uses the time for some personal shoutouts! We also get our first call-in about some particularly muggy behaviour and reveal the Tinder profiles we’ve written for each other...


      If you need to switch off with your dinosaur-obsessed children, and happen to be in Norfolk, you could do much worse than today’s Small Business Shoutout: ROARR! Dinosaur Park! https://roarr.co.uk/ It’s a great day out for the whole family, especially if you love dinosaurs!

      • Finding Your Passion and Confusing Dating Fashions

        In this episode of Business Marriage we talk about finding your passion, in business as well as in love.


        We reminisce about when we first met working as entertainers abroad and the interesting implications this has about the foundation of our relationship. We get wistful about dating in the pre-social media era, and show our age as we become baffled by the modern dating scene.


        We also discuss the dangers of turning your passion into your livelihood and, off the back of our marriage audit, what to do when the passion has died. Join us as we shed perhaps a little too much light on our history and quickly turn the light back off when we realise our history forgot to put its makeup on!


        You don’t have to look your best to find your passion, but it doesn’t hurt! For the freshest cuts in South East London, check out today’s Small Business Shoutout, The Barbers Lounge in Chislehurst: https://www.instagram.com/barberslounge_belmont/

        • Is Our Marriage Still Intact?

          In this episode of Business Marriage we take a 12-question marriage audit to see how well our relationship is doing.


          We answer these 12 definitive questions which categorically rank how successful our relationship is. There’s no room for interpretation here, it’s right or wrong, good or bad, and everything we discover will be absolute gospel!


          We spill the beans about our intimacy, activities, emotions, and the things that get in the way of all of them! As always there are as many disagreements as there are jests. Will we pass the audit, or is this the beginning of the end of The Burtts?

                    In today’s episode of Business Marriage, we discuss our family life, the challenges we face as business owners, and mostly forget to finish the points we were making. Hayley tells us the realities of business whilst James gets distracted by pronouncing words.

                     

                    Starting with the topic of “Designing Your Life”, we wander into forming connections, personal development, and why we’re both terrible at ironing. We’re unfiltered, but at least we’re honest!

                     

                    We want to tell you the importance of time and money, why it’s important to understand their worth, and the value of finding a balance between your professional and personal life. Do we make the most of our time and money? Do we strike the right balance in our lives? There’s only one way to find out…
