My spouse's greatest need from me is help with his business. William is an awesome photographer. However, running a small business is not his strength. I, on the other hand, love the challenge of business, but don't have the creative skills that he has. Sounds like a perfect match, right?
Well, I have to admit that I have been to this rodeo before. William and I have agreed that I would help him with various aspects of his business. He is always excited...at first. The sticking point is that William likes to work at a much slower pace than me. I like to make a decision and get on with it. He wants to think about it and forget about it and think about it some more. So, in the past, I have simply shared how I think it should be done or approached and have left him to go and make it happen. Not surprising, there hasn't been a lot of progress made.
So, in the name our marriage, I have chosen to do the following:
1. Developing a goals list for his business, including timeline for making them happen
2. Putting Kendall in daycare full time so he can devote more time to his work
While not radical changes, I hope it is enough to get us partnering on something that really matters to both of us and leverages our unique capabilities. Be blessed.
