The Truth About Being in Business With Your Spouse
In Part 1 and Part 2 you met 18 couples who shared why and how they decided to go into business together, along with their business concepts, and perceived risks and rewards. In Part 2 they shared how they put their ideas into action. In Part 3 they share how their business looks today, what’s working and what’s not, what the future of their business looks like, and their advice for other couples considering or already in business together.
Writing this was as much therapy for me, as I hope it is helpful to others. As I read each couples responses, I sat going “yes, yes, so true, I’m right there with you!” or “That’s such a great way to look at it”. I’d get so excited and want to keep sharing everything with my husband. There’s so much to be said for open discussions that help others form realistic expectations while still keeping their dreams alive and showing how special it can be in so many ways. As well as for feeling like others are having very similar experiences and you’re on the right path.
Let’s catch back up with our couples and see where they are today:
