While the coronavirus has created much fear, anxiety and uncertainty, there have some marriage benefits that came out of it. We just hope that it lasts. While the virus itself was awful, what it forced us to do could have some positive long lasting effects for those that choose to keep it going. For starters, it’s forced us all to slow down and be present with our spouse and family. This episode is a bit of a time machine as we are recording in the midst of the pandemic with hope by the time this releases that the worst is over. Listen and hear what we’ve observed and the lessons that we hope couples learn and maintain even after the crisis.

For every business, marketing is essential to get customers and stay in business. Pretty basic, right? Businesses who succeed in marketing do branding really well. They may not even realize that they’re conducting branding activities when they do it but regardless, they do it well. Unfortunately, too many times because of lack of understanding, businesses don’t do branding well and which tends to hurt their marketing efforts. But once you understand what marketing is and how “easy” it actually is to do, you’ll be on the right track to gain more customers.

This is the million dollar question. When we ask this question to couples who own a business, we either get a “yes” or “no” (obviously). And the answers seem to be from the experiences the couples have relating and communicating to each other. Are you the one that would say “no” because it’s not good for the marriage, we would be fighting all the time, spouse doesn’t want me in the business, she’s too controlling, or he’s too controlling? And for those that say “yes” is it for the right reason. Don’t just have your spouse work in the business to save money on payroll. Make sure they are in a position that fits their gifts and skills. Well, first both spouses should be involved at some level in the business. It’s the largest asset a couple typically owns and so both should care what happens to it. Doesn’t mean both spouses need to be actively involved in the business but should have a level of understanding and influence in it. The key is understanding the role both play in the business and how to best work with each other without it negatively affecting the marriage. This episode will tackle the why and how every spouse can be helpful in the business.

And I mean really listen. Every couple should hear this story so that you don’t wait til it’s too late to finally pay attention to your spouse.

What drives you? What’s important to you? If relationships wasn’t an answer to at least one of those questions, you definitely need to listen to this episode. We live in a success driven world. Which wouldn’t be a problem if success was defined in a holistic way. But for most entrepreneurs, we often forget to mention our relationships. Even if we say relationships are our priority it isn’t lived out on a day to day basis.

Not spending enough time with important relationships like spouse and kids is one of the top regrets for entrepreneurs as they get older. You don’t want time to pass you by or a tragedy like losing a child to realize what’s most important.

Meet this week’s guest, Teresa McCloy. She’s an author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership and life coach. Teresa lost her son to drug addiction 6 years ago and has moved from being addicted to success to addicted to life. She lays out some nuggets on how to design a life you want to live.

Key Takeaways:

  • What do you have to say to the busy entrepreneur?
  • How did we as a society get to this point of living life in a hurry?
  • Why does it take a tragedy to make us realize what’s truly important in life? How do you encourage those that have not faced a loss like yours to wake up before it’s too late?
  • Many entrepreneurs want to lead a better balanced life but can’t seem to do it. What do you think holds them back?
  • You have a 4 point process to go from living with your hair on fire to doing what matters most. Could you please share?

If there was ever a time to re-evaluate your approach to marketing it would be now. You and everyone else are coming out of the haze of lockdown, trying to pick up the pieces and get back to “normal.” I’m sure you’ve realized that business will not get back to the old normal and that there is a new normal that everyone must adapt to. During lockdown your customers have already adapted. So you can’t expect to do the business the same nor market the same way. This may sound like a daunting task but marketing does not have to be complicated. Even before lockdown many businesses made marketing overly complicated. Which leads to a lot of frustration. So join us in this episode in which we break marketing down to its essence and then build it back up in a simple, easy to implement way.
