...as a Husband-Wife Business Team

Business owners face enough challenges without including their spouse in the mix. How do you and your spouse survive the 24/7 contact of running a business and a marriage in tandem? Or did it not work for you and you're willing to share your 20/20 hindsight to help others avoid the same mistakes you made?

More and more people are choosing to go into business for themselves during these difficult economic times and many of them will bring their spouse into the dream with them. If you've discovered how to make it work for you, share what you've learned to help others navigate these dangerous waters.

Donald Trump said, "what's the point of having great knowledge and keeping it to yourself?"  Share your stories and solutions right here!

And reap the benefits of sharing your wisdom...if your story is published in The Smartest Thing I Ever Did™... as a Husband-Wife Business Team, you'll get 100 words to talk about who you are, what you do, and how to contact you—that's the equivalent of thousands of dollars of free advertising, nationwide!
