Monday's random thoughts...
Running a business (or trying to) is hard. Rewarding. Fun. Different. But hard, especially when your business partner is also your spouse.
My experiences with Business in the past is that it can only be run one of two ways, either a dictatorship or a partnership. In a partnership both people have a equal stake in the whole ordeal. One person is not suppose to make a business changing decision without first bouncing it off the other person.
Speaking of bouncing it off the other person, that's how all decisions were made when I was in that line of work. We discussed it. Discussed it some more. Talked about. Shot it down. Brought it back to life. Talked about it. Talked about it. Discussed it. And then asked someone for their opinion before ever deciding if it was even a good idea to even consider it.
Another thing I was always taught in business was to diversify as much as possible. That way when you not selling eggs you'll be selling oranges or hammers or bad business advice or something. As long as your always moving something.
So what happens when it's your spouse that you are bouncing ideas off of. Well instead of bouncing, it seams you just get hit in the head. lol
Of course there is always the other avenue. A Dictatorship. One person makes all the decisions. Takes all the responsibility and takes all the blame when it turns out bad. Of course in a real dictatorship the dictator would never know that it's a bad decision because no one would ever tell him but hey. Neither here nor there.
The problem is that I can't see either way being to awful healthy to a marriage...:-P
