Involving your spouse in your SFI business provides added advantages, while for others the consequences are dire. One key ability is that of adapting many times a day between 'personal' and 'business'. Both working on an SFI business will come with a unique set of challenges but running your business with your spouse creates an entirely different working level.
This can be a successful venture both personally and professionally but must be done correctly by following the below:
Set Goals and Responsibilities
Create specific goals and responsibilities and ensure your spouse knows who to follow, who their sponsor is, if not you, and how to communicate with their up line to increase success.
Established work hours
Create specific work hours (and non-work hours. Have a meeting each Friday where you do the "week in review’" and brainstorm areas that need a bit more focus and attention. This is also the time to go through their specific to-do lists. Avoid overflowing SFI into your personal life, i.e. do not discuss it over dinner or while bathing the kids!
Unique, private work spaces
Have your own working space and routine. Just because you work together doesn’t mean you have to be together all day long -- that could be a recipe for disaster in the long run. It helps you both remain focused on your specific tasks and responsibilities and is ultimately more productive for you both.
5. Celebrate Rewards
Appreciate your unique relationship. Business lifestyle can be intense and having someone to share it with helps make it more manageable but also rewarding, sharing your passion for the business with the one you love can be a powerful tool and celebrate your successes together! When you reach important milestones or exceed your expected rank or VP for the month, it’s time to set work aside and celebrate your successes.
When working with your spouse, remember that your professional success is tied to the same principles of personal success: You need to be true partners in order to thrive and prosper.
