My husband Steven and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage. YAY! We met in 2003, got engaged in 2004 and got married in 2005. Honestly it feels like the time has FLOWN.
When we met, I was working at a public relations agency in New York City. I was flying around the world for a press tour with a celebrity athlete on behalf of a pharmaceutical company. It sounds a lot cooler than it was! I soon realized the life I wanted with Steven wasn’t conducive to the life I was living as a PR exec. I changed jobs to something that offered me better hours and better money.
We got married and life was good. As we contemplated having children, I knew another career change was in order. This change would have me leaving the corporate world behind and choosing the life of a business owner and coach with a lot more control over my schedule, projects and income. That change happened in 2007 when I quit my 6-figure job and embarked on a new path - one that I’m still on today. It was scary yet liberating (like a lot of change is).
Steven has been a huge support during my career evolution. He’s never been threatened by my ambition or ability to earn well. He listens to me vent when things are hard. He is an excellent sounding board. Our marriage has helped me be a stronger businesswoman. My business has helped me grow in my marriage.
The key > BEING ALL IN.
Since I’m passionate about helping you have a life, business and family that’s beyond your wildest dreams, I’m sharing 6 lessons marriage has taught me about business:
Respect the partnership + make it your own Own your responsibilities + your strengths Be willing to make change Give the magic room to breathe Play the long game Have as much fun as you can
Even
After
All this time
The sun never says
To the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that.
It lights the
Whole
Sky.
