Great news we forgot to blog about - seasoned freelancer Dale Buss found a bit of our advice for spousal-preneurs worthy enough to include in the following feature article (way back in February) for Forbes.com:

• How to Run a Business With Your Spouse

AND in the complementary “in pictures” segment:

• The Do’s And Don’ts Of Co-Preneurship

Here’s the winning excerpt: 

Next tip: Involve trusted third parties in the business, especially the finances. The quickest way to marital perdition is to get mired in money matters. If you must, designate one partner as chief financial officer. Better yet, delegate all accounting and tax matters to a professional. “Since we hired a third party to keep us on track and honest about budgets, cash flow, performance targets and so on, we’ve crossed divorce off our list of things to do,” quips Lani Voivod, co-owner of Epiphanies, a marketing consultant in New Hampshire.

It’s true, too. For us, 2007 is SOOOOO much better than 2006, and we know a lot of it has to do with the changes we’ve made in our approach to finances. It’s still all a big ol’ learning process, but it’s a lot easier to learn together when we see steady money coming in, and yelling isn’t a part of our “Financial Fridays.”
