Sleeping with Your Business Partner

Separately, love and business are two of life's greatest challenges. What happens when you weave them together? The possibilities run the gamut from bliss to disaster. In Sleeping with Your Business Partner, this husband-and-wife 'copreneur' team argues that the key to success in both is learning how to communicate properly. Through discussion, interviews with real-life 'co-preneurs', and interactive exercises, the book teaches team-based couples how to communicate with each other to improve both their business and their personal relationship. Each informative, easy-to-read chapter includes insights, tips, exercises, and quizzes to help couples minimize misunderstandings, clarify expectations, build healthier relationships, increase productivity and manage conflict more effectively. The book also addresses various personality types, stress, planning, decision-making, negotiating strategies, role confusion, time management, differing responsibilities at home and work, and power struggles.

"This book is a thorough, clear, and practical toolkit for the copreneurial journey. It is chuck full of road maps, survival tools, traveler's advisories, preventive advice, and first aid instructions (that you will probably need). Don't leave home without it!"

"This book is a "must read" for copreneurs. It will be useful also for anyone who works with them such as teachers or leaders of workshops, conferences, and retreats and family and marriage counselors. Parents, in-laws, or other relatives of copreneurs can also benefit from this book by helping them understand the pressures that a couple in business together can experience."
