Ep. 199 - Business Achievements Won’t Make You Happy

Ep. 197 - Why Business is Easier than Marriage
Is it just me, or is building a business easier than growing your marriage? Let’s put it this way: Are you more inclined to attend a business seminar or a marriage workshop? Would you rather see a marriage counselor or hire a business consultant?
Ep. 195 - Compromise Is Not Healthy For Your Marriage
One of the most popular keys to a successful marriage is “compromise.” In our experience that is one of the most destructive methods in a marriage. The word compromise means “accepting a standard lower than is desirable.” Is that what you want for your marriage? I would think not but that is how many deal with disagreements.

Ep. 188 - The Inconvenience Of Great Leadership with Bob Beaudine
“Doing the right thing is inconvenient.” That was a powerful quote from this week’s guest Bob Beaudine. Prioritizing your family over your career or business is one of the hardest things to do for high achievers. It is possible to do it successfully but it doesn’t come easy. You have to make hard choices that are not convenient.
Ep. 186 - Is Your Business An Idol? With Stu and Trish Fuhlendorf
Entrepreneurs have an independent streak for sure. I have it, you have it, we all have it. It’s why we can’t see ourselves in a 9 to 5 job. It’s why we’re so successful in what we do. We take the bull by the horn and make it happen.
Ep. 185 - Vacations Are Good For The Health of Your Business

Ep. 183 - How To Hire and Train Millenials with Robert and Kay Lee Fukui
If you’re like many business owners, it’s been hard to find good employees. It seems like the younger generation doesn’t want to work and are lazy. Or at least that’s what they say. But think about this, the baby boomers were also considered lazy when they were in their twenties and thirties.
