KEY POINTS & QUOTES: Your personal life impacts your business life. Talk to your business partner often to ensure you are always on the same page.  Be open and willing to take feedback regularly without feeling attacked. Root and anchor your business in your purpose instead of doing it only for profit or recognition.  Sacrifice is a part of success, something will have to give. Learn to be okay with reciprocity looking different but being equal.
