From speaking to so many business people, I think the most important business decision you'll ever make, is not a business decision at all... it's who you choose to marry! 🤔 Your spouse is figuratively a co-founder in everything you do. And I hear so many stories about how they can either build you up - making you more confidence and courageous, or tear you down - making you more cautious and conservative. I've seen brilliant founders shrink because they go home every night to someone who doubts them.

From speaking to so many business people, I think the most important business decision you'll ever make, is not a business decision at all... it's who you choose to marry! 🤔

Your spouse is figuratively a co-founder in everything you do.

And I hear so many stories about how they can either build you up - making you more confidence and courageous, or tear you down - making you more cautious and conservative.

I've seen brilliant founders shrink because they go home every night to someone who doubts them.

And I've seen very normal operators outperform everyone because they wake up next to someone who believes in them before there is any evidence.

People don't put "choice of spouse" in a business books, but when I ask the most successful people I've interviewed what made the difference, so many of them point to the person at home.

Choose someone who makes you brave! ❤️
