Copreneurs can holiday & maintain control at work

Having your own business is rather like having a child. You nurture it and you do all you can to ensure its success. Work can take over though and when you live and work together 24x7 it’s not always easy to find time for yourselves as a couple.

Technology though has made a huge difference to the way businesses can be run. I was talking to a couple recently who are owners of a Gold’s Gym in Virginia. They told me that because they are now so well equipped technologically (with computers and email and video cameras) they’re able to run their facilities from wherever they are, yet still be involved in day to day operations and decisions.

They tell me this had provided dual benefits. They make regular visits and they maintain control of all financial matters but they delegate the rest. This allows their front office people opportunities to grow and take managerial control – and their business continues to grow.
