When your co-founder isn't just a partner in business, but also in life, how do you navigate both aspects of your relationship? When friends, family, or couples start a venture together, they don't often know what to expect— or, they think they do, until they're surprised by the reality of combining love and business. 

 

Today, you'll learn:

• The story of how Alex and Lisa met, joined families, and eventually began a business together
• How they lost a good friend in the process of building their business
• The defining moment for Lisa 3-4 months into starting the business that still brings tears to her eyes today
• What happened when some of the people around them tried to place limits on their initial growth

 

Today's Optimizer Tip: Leverage the gig economy. Delegate the administrative, transactional work your business (Alex gives the example of real estate transactions).
