You worked hard to get here. You're good at your job, people like you, and your boss believes in you. So when your 360 assessment results come back and your own team has rated you at the bottom, it stings in a way that's hard to describe.

That's exactly where Sue found herself, sitting across from her president, trying not to cry, wondering how she missed it so completely.

What happened next is a masterclass in taking hard feedback and actually doing something with it. Read the whole story and the simple fix that turned everything around.

One of the biggest mistakes married business owners make?

Trying to lead the same part of the business.

Two CEOs. Two leaders driving the same bus.

That creates confusion for your team and frustration for each other.

Jim's latest article shares lessons on leadership, marriage, and building a business together.

Business Owner Couples Must Agree On One Thing: Their Seats On The Bus Business owner couples don’t need to agree on everything, but they must agree on leadership roles. Learn how married business partners can avoid confusion and lead effectively together.

Sue and I have been married nearly 38 years and business partners for almost two decades.

Do we agree on everything? Absolutely not.

But one thing business owner couples MUST agree on is leadership roles. Two people can't sit in the same seat on the bus.

It’s easy to drift.

In the middle of busy days, stress, and deadlines, it doesn’t take much to lose sight of why we do what we do.

But this reminder matters:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…”

Not just when it’s easy.
Not just when you feel like it.
All of it.

If you’ve felt that drift lately, you’re not alone.
This might be your reset.
