Thrive In Business And In Life As Entrep...

Dan Sullivan and Strategic Coach
About this episode

Ann and Sunny Sheu are not only life partners, they’re partners on their entrepreneurial journeys. With their business, Mpowered Families, they help high-achieving entrepreneurial couples to be as intentional about their family lives as they are about their business lives. In this episode, Ann and Sunny share what it’s like to be in business with the person you’re married to, how they apply business lessons to their personal lives, and the benefits they get from business coaches and fellow members in The Strategic Coach® Program.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How Strategic Coach® workshops are like a clarity break for Ann and Sunny.
  • Where Ann and Sunny’s work overlaps, and where it doesn’t.
  • How Mpowered Families workshops have immediate impact on families.
  • What led Sunny to stop being a slave to the business.
  • How improving your personal life and improving your business life feed each other.
  • The danger of trying to be what you think people expect.
  • Why being a Strategic Coach member is really about the mindset shifts.

 

Show Notes: 

If you want to change your behavior, you first have to change your mindset.

 

Many entrepreneurs don’t create the time and space to do for their families what they do for their businesses.

 

Your family is the most important team in your life.

 

When your family life is strong, then you have the space to give your all to your business.

 

To build a great family life, you have to first do the work on yourself.

 

What often happens in families is that people bring a very diluted version of themselves to the table.

 

If you can’t clearly articulate what you want out of life, you won’t know how to ask for what you want.

 

Once you're clear about who you are individually, you and your partner can come together and create a shared vision.

 

It’s not always easy for a couple to have an aligned vision for their family, but there are always commonalities.

 

Very rarely do people think a decade ahead for their personal lives.
