Work Hard Play Hard!
Manage episode 425394316 series 3582103
Could taking time off actually improve your business and your relationship? Hear how our decision to book a honeymoon cruise amidst growing stress and burnout led us to an eye-opening realization: planning ahead for regular breaks can be a game-changer. This episode of "Married to the Hustle" kicks off with our personal story of long hours, exhaustion, and the rejuvenating impact of a much-needed vacation. We share five key strategies for maintaining a healthy balance between work and play, starting with the importance of having something to look forward to. This experience was so transformative that we've now committed to taking regular breaks every spring and fall, and we want you to see the benefits too.
Ever wondered how couples in business together navigate the tricky waters of work-life balance? We shift gears to talk about the dynamics of working as a duo, sharing a vivid account of a business trip that ended with us both contracting COVID-19. Despite the chaos, we managed to keep operations running smoothly from home, thanks to our supportive team. Learn how we maintain boundaries between work and personal life, and discover practical advice on asking for permission before diving into urgent work matters. We also touch on our differing energy levels and how we've learned to navigate them to become not just better business partners but also stronger spouses. To round things off, we promise more engaging content and interviews with other entrepreneurial couples in future episodes.
