On March 9, 2020, Carrie Gunderson discussed the importance of having a family vision and having one spouse being responsible for holding that vision for the family. Listen to full episode here.
In this Episode, Denise and Carrie Discuss:
- How to create quality of life when married to a hard charging entrepreneur.
- Why it’s important (and incredibly effective) to have a weekly couples’ meeting and use a meeting agenda like you would do for any important business meeting.
- Being an excellent parent even as a busy entrepreneur (or spouse of one.)
- The importance of having a family vision and having one spouse being responsible for holding that vision for the family.
- How to spend quality time with your family and leave your work at the office.
Key Takeaways:
- You should have a weekly meeting with your spouse and cover important communication items (like travel schedule, “honey-do list”, how to best support the kids’ activities that week, and more.)
- Have regular date nights with your spouse like when you were first dating.
- Involve your children in the weekly meetings.
- Rate each other in each weekly meeting on how you are doing as a spouse and how you are doing as a parent. It can help keep each other accountable to putting the family as a priority.
