(EP11) Pros and Cons of Owning Your Own Business | Chad Gleason and Suria El-Bietar


Listen Later

Having a family and running a business together has its challenges, but this couple has found that connecting their work and family life actually has some key advantages. As partners in business and in parenting, Chad and Suria have insights to share about what’s allowed them to stay successful—and sane.

 

In this episode:

  • How did Chad and Suria know they'd work well together?
  • Why you must take time to realign yourselves and check in with each other when working with loved ones - make sure you're both following the same north star
  • Lisa talks about her very first job... at only 8 years old!
  • How living in a digitally connected world is contributing to major generational changes with the way we communicate; even within the digital space.
  • The couples discuss real-life, practical optimization tips (or “survival tips,” as Chad calls them!)

“Honesty, with a respectful delivery … often times will lead you towards success—even when it’s the most stressful.” - Suria

 

Optimizer Tips:

Suria: You never know what will pop up out of left field; be willing to honestly and openly ask for the help you need to cover what you’re both responsible for 

Chad: You can actually invite your team/partners/clients into your home for a weekend of work; it’s often the BEST way to get to know really know them, and for them to connect with you (and see your work ethic).
