Thriving in Tandem: The podcast for married entrepreneursEp. 138 - Rest is Productive For Your Marriage and BusinessThe reason many entrepreneurs struggle with resting is that it feels unproductive. If you rest, you're not getting things done, right? The opposite is true. Rest is very productive for your business and marriage. First, you need to understand that rest is not simply sleeping or lounging around watching TV. It's disengaging from work to allow your body and mind to recover. And it doesn't take long either. Taking periodic, 5 minute breaks from the work at hand will rejuvenate your body and mind to perform better once you get back to work. There are also m...

As a golfer, if I tell myself, "don't hit it in the lake, inevitably, I hit it in the lake." So, yes, mindset is a real thing and it will affect your marriage and business.
