Commitment and Partnership. Two things our pastor discussed on Sunday night and the timing could not have been more perfect.
Dan and I are committed to our marriage and our family, but also to our business. The added duties of building a business together *could* put a lot of strain on our relationship if were weren’t on the same page and good at being partners.
Just last week I was out of town for 4 days with our team at doTERRA’s leadership retreat. It is always exciting to get away and celebrate accomplishments (this is an earned event that our team worked hard to get to), while also attending invaluable business training. Since I was in CEO mode, Dan needed to be in charge of all the things at home. Which included a college-age daughter home on her first spring break, Jeffrey who decided he missed mom so much that he needed to visit the nurse at school daily, social events for the middle-schooler (i.e. lots of carpooling), and his job as a teacher.
Three years ago we committed to building a life we had only dreamed about. The road is not always easy, or straight, or even visible but because we are in it together the load is so much lighter!
