Learn the Art of couplepreneurship
Guided Course for Couples, Opening Soon
Running a business is challenging. Relationships take work. Without a few key boundaries, those two things can collide with a bang. But with the right tenets in place - you and your partner can build a business and relationship that brings you happiness and success.
How? Simple….No Naked Meetings.
LET ME ELABORATE.
In the not so distant past, my partner Madison and I were on the verge of signing a big contract.
With a flourish of blue ink, we'd be reshaping our next years by purchasing a resale clothing store — a deal we'd worked on for months.
We both had day jobs, and spent our evenings making marketing plans, reviewing contracts, and rallying co-investors.
Naturally some of the work would spill over into our conversations at dinner, our walks, and our 'getting ready for bed' time. We'd excitedly talk about ideas, share concerns, and make plans. We felt like a solid team.
Yet I had a sense that this might not be the right way.
You see, I've done this before. And the last business I started with my romantic partner led to divorce.
So a small voice in me kept whispering "take a break" ... "don't focus entirely on the business" ... "save some time just for the two of you."
I ignored it.
One day, at the peak of our stress, we had just taken showers and found ourselves standing in our bedroom at 9:30pm, both naked, having a heated debate about the color of our logo. Our voices raised, our tempers flaring, we were getting into that danger zone where a discussion turns personal.
I paused and took a breath, then started laughing. She said, "This isn't funny!"
I replied, "Sure, the topic is important ... but what's funny is that we're having a naked meeting!"
In that moment we realized that we'd let our business become so important it'd engulfed our life together.
We were having naked meetings.
That day we made a promise to each other, our own personal pact:
No more naked meetings.
So when we step into our bedroom, we're crossing a line into our personal world.
One where we don't lie in bed putting out fires in the business, discussing that problematic employee, and in general, blurting out the anxieties that plague us.
There’s time for all that.
But it's sure as hell not going to claim the precious moments we have reserved for each other.
Does this sound familiar? Do you lie in bed making plans… instead of making love?
Stop. It doesn’t need to be that way.
The first step to preventing your business from claiming your relationship is to ban meetings from your bedroom. Repeat after me: “No naked meetings.”
Try it for a week.
Don’t worry, I’m sure you'll find some other fun things to do in the bedroom 😉
‘NO NAKED MEETINGS’ IS AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS PIVOTAL IN BUILDING A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP AND A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS WITH MY PARTNER.
As part of my mission to create a world filled with couplepreneurs that give & receive real support and deepen in love, all the while growing their business, I have developed a coaching program that helps founders in business with their partner to develop the awareness and skills to have a sexy and secure relationship - the foundation of a meaningful partnership.
THE BASICS OF THE PROGRAM
The course focuses on the three major areas that nearly every couple in business together haven’t built yet:
AGREEMENTS.
Start by establishing agreements that set healthy boundaries and that keep the relationship juicy are essential to a successful business relationship with your partner.
RITUALS.
How long has it been since you’ve had a proper date? Daily & weekly rituals keep you on-mission, in love, and playing as a team.
TEAMWORK.
Do you have each other’s back? And do you have a team that supports you through the ups and downs? Both are necessary to thrive as couplepreneurs.
