Key Takeaways: 

• When our core relationships are strong, we have a stronger ability to be an entrepreneur because we have a solid foundation.
• Having designated time to work on our relationships as entrepreneurs can help us take better care of ourselves as well because it helps us grow stronger as a whole.
• Working on your relationship doesn’t have to be a huge task. Doing small things for your partner each day can have a positive impact. 
• Surrounding yourself with the right people can make a difference in your business success because they will bring their own skill sets to help you grow.
• Taking care of your mental health is important as an entrepreneur because if you are not strong, it is more difficult for your team and business to grow. 

Creating good habits in our relationships with active love builds a more solid foundation so that we can grow and succeed in all aspects of our lives.
