TREMENDOUS PERSONAL GROWTH COMES FROM WORKING WITH YOUR SPOUSE

Co-owning and managing a business with your spouse is tough! This is according to the October issue of Inc. Magazine, which analyzed the subject as part of its "Ultimate How-to Guide for Business Owners." However, Kathy Marshack, a psychologist and consultant specializing in entrepreneurial couples, explained the upside of this lifestyle.

Upside? It's a lot of work to combine the challenges of a business partnership with the challenges of a marriage. Dr. Marshack explains why it's worth the effort, "There's potential for tremendous personal growth. When you're confronted constantly by someone who knows you so well, you're going to have an extraordinary opportunity to work on your flaws and develop as a person."

Dr. Marshack uses in-depth personal assessments in her book, ENTREPRENEURIAL COUPLES: Making It Work at Work and at Home, to show couples how they can attain their personal goals while they develop a successful business and meaningful relationship. More information on the entrepreneurial lifestyle visit is available on Dr. Marshack's website, www.executivecouples.com.
