Working with spouses Archives

There are so many entrepreneurs who have built businesses from the ground up — alongside their partners — but not many talk about the intersection of work and personal lives.

During this week’s #WorkTrends show, Maria Orozova and Scott Thomas addressed how husband-and-wife entrepreneurs can work cohesively and collaboratively in the business world. They will share their first-hand experiences of working together as partner agency owners.

Here are a few key points Maria and Scott shared:

Knowing how your partner works is key to success
Boundaries are important – leave work at work and leave home at home
Opening the lines of communication for all matters will make working with a spouse more harmonious
