• As a business owner I feel like a lot of people are counting on me: My employees, clients, trade partners, vendors, kids, parents. They always say you learn from failure but I remember early on as we transitioned the business to me running the day to day operations having a complete melt down with Craig – Failure was NOT/IS NOT an option. No one knows all the answers, there is no crystal ball or magic right answers. This week we talk about our Fears and how we can work together to manage them.

• We want to do it all, and be there for everyone but the reality is there are seasons of our lives when it is just not possible. There are seasons of life when it can be overwhelming the number of places we need to be, things we need and want to do, and those people who need us. This week we talk about identifying our values and organizing our schedules because as business owners we often have more flexibility but with that comes more responsibility.

This week Craig & Allison talk about how they feel when they are upset and try to vent to the other, and ways to help not absorb each others emotions too much.
