Not Together

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

I don’t recommend working with your spouse if you don’t have to but since my husband and I started our wine business together a few years back we only have the luxury of hindsight. It wa great at first but it doesn’t take long before spending 24/7 with the person you love to get pretty old – everyone needs some space at the end of the day. Anyway, he did all the hard stuff like getting info on small business xo and talking to the vendors and the liquor board and I did the fun stuff like logos and marketing. At the end of the day we definitely both offer something to the business but it’s been challenging trying to stay civil and still enjoy each other’s company at the same time. We need a break from each other every now and then so we try to plan guys and girls nights every week. That’s been helping but boy, we sure could use a long vacation from each other to tell you the truth!
