Couples Working Together And Succeeding

Looking for Couples to Interview

We have a new project in the works.  We are writing a book for entrepreneurial couples, Inspiring Couples in Business + in Love.  This book will give readers insight into how to succeed as entrepreneurs while maintaining a loving, healthy + sexy relationship.  We will share how learning and implementing transcendent lovemaking + couples' dreamwork + awareness of your archetypes (including your sacred inner money personality) will help you succeed in business and your relationship with little to no more fighting over money or your sex life.

But, really it is so much more than just the simple idea of no more fighting over these things.  In fact, couples, who are entrepreneurs, especially those who own a business together, understand that there are often great challenges by being in love and running a business.

Can a couple really switch gears and be just a romantic couple without constantly talking business?  You bet, but just as the romantic relationship takes work so does the business relationship.  When you try and blend the two together the challenges are multiplied.  But, guess what?  So, are the joys and successes if you have the tools in place.

We have been in business together for 10+ years, as well as owning individual businesses, and we know the ups and the downs, the joys and the sorrows, the high fives and the arguments, and we have learned, developed, and created amazing unique spiritual tools to thrive as a couple + as business partners.

We don't want other entrepreneurial couples to simply survive the journey.  We want them to thrive!
We want YOU to thrive!

At this point, we are still open to including other couples in the book.  We have interviews already occurring, but if you are or if you know of an entrepreneurial couple, who might be willing to be interviewed and included in the book, drop an email to janellealexphd@gmail.com. 

Here's to thriving,
Janelle + Rob

Be ready to be flexible.

Being a couple is full of compromises. When you have two or more peoples lives living out of the same house then you really have to be prepared for those unexpected things that pop up. Way back when a time when you were not it a relationship you only had to worry about things that directly effected you. Now that you are in a relationship you have to worry about not only your issues but your partners as well. Not to mention if you have kids that you have to be really flexible to keep up with them. You might have made plans to go out on a date with your partner when all of the sudden your child finds out they made the spelling bee championships on the same night. Whoops, change of plans, you will now be attending the spelling bee. However, here is the kicker to keep your relationship strong you have to reschedule that evening out for the two of you. Maybe even make it later in the evening or the next night. The one thing you can to is forget about it. That puts you on the fast track of not doing anything to improve or make your relationship exciting. Compromises will arise all the time but you have to bend and twist with them to make it all work out. Because it all is important.

Are you repaying your partners favors?

Do you remember last week when you partner dropped everything to help you out? Did you ever repay that favor? So many times in our busy life we forget to really thank the person we love for helping us out. Maybe it was a massage or taking the kids to give you some quite time. No matter what the favor you need to make the effort to thank them for it. Make your repayment something that they enjoy and wouldn't expect you to do. Maybe cook them their favorite dinner or give them a wonderful massage. Maybe you could find a movie that they have been wanting to watch or wear that lingerie that you have just thrown in the drawer. If you don't repay these favors you might find yourself not getting them in the future. Keep the balance close of the amount of favors you do for each other and neither one of you will ever feel unappreciated. When we do favors we do not expect repayment but it goes without saying that it should be a mandate. Thank them often for being their for you and they always will be.

Come on it's Valentine's Day wear some lingerie

Lingerie has long been a part of Valentine's Day, it's sexy and sends a direct message to your partner. That message is I love you and want you to desire me. Now while lingerie is sexy and hot you have to bring a little attitude with it to really pull the sexy part of it off. Someone shy in lingerie is cute but their is something special about someone that is aggressive in their pursuit of you. Victoria's Secret is obviously a great place to purchase your lingerie they have some amazing and wonderful products. However, they are a bit on the high side of the cost scale not that their items aren't worth it. If you need a little more budget conscience lingerie don't be afraid to search the internet to get a less expensive items. Don't stop with just lingerie but oils and toys can make a delightful Valentine's day. The beauty of lingerie is that it is a present for both partners the one who receives it obviously but it is also a great present for the person you are wearing it for. Think sexy this Valentine's day and show your partner how much they mean to you, by showing them the time of their life.

Money in your Relationship

One thing that can bring a fight on is the topic of money. Usually one person takes control of the finances in a realtionship and the other partner has no clue as to where they stand. This is very dangerous for both partners. You should always have an idea and discuss your finanaces with each other no matter which person you are. Both partners should have access to some amount of money they can spend on their personal likes. Don't call it an allowance just say it is your portion of the household income to spend. Even if the person can't manage money worth a hoot they still need to be in control of some of it. If one of you is very bad a managing money I suggest setting up a special account for the person to use as their spending money. This way your basic budget stays in tact and you don't have to worry about little surprises throughing off the household income. If you want your relationship to stay healthy you need to discuss most of your purchases, going to the store and paying the bills need not be discussed unless you are deciding which ones you can't pay this month. If a partner does something outside the norm to make some money, make sure they get their fair share of the amount. Bottom line is your well bing comes first but everyone need to just blow some money from time to time. Work together on your budget and it will be easier for both of your to stick to. Last thing if you do get in trouble financially don't be afraid to ask for help right now banks and companies are tring as hard as they can to keep the economy from a total break down.

Abundant Love

Sometimes we forget that our love is one of the most important feeling we have. It makes us do things we might not normally do. When we need a shot in the arm our partner is the one we need it from and it comes in the form of love. Sometimes it work in mysterious ways and we don't even know it. Have you ever done something nice for your partner and not wanted any praise for it? This is a true sentiment of your feelings. Try it sometime and see where it gets you. Slip some money in their purse or wallet and let them find it sometime, or bring home their favorite meal without asking, you could even clean their car while they are gone and maybe they won't even notice but you have the satisfaction of knowing you did something nice for your partner. Believe me this has a great way of returning to you, think of how you will feel when you find something your partner has planet or done for you without your knowledge. In this matter you love become so abundant and spread through out your whole relationship and universe. Love is something that only grows bigger the more you give it away so give away a lot and you will be loved more then you ever dreamed.
