Power Up Your Marriage and Business Robert and Kay Lee Fukui: Business and Marriage Coaches

Most, if not all, employees want retirement benefits and I know most employers want to provide them. But many small business owners don’t think they can afford to provide them. So we sought out financial and retirement plan expert Pete Walkey, who dispels the myth that small businesses can’t afford to provide retirement benefits. 
You will find that you can and there are no-cost to low-cost options to provide this benefit that will help you attract and retain great talent. And these days, finding good employees are hard to find. So the more benefits you can provide, the greater value you are to employees. 
Plus, we talk about the concept of “practicing retirement.” Why wait till retirement to enjoy life when you can and should do it now?

Are you the high achiever, organized, hard working, and calm under pressure type of entrepreneur? Do you suffer from negative self-talk, perfectionism, struggle to relax, fear of failure/success, and have difficulty saying “no?” If you look like the pillar of strength from the outside but deal with some internal struggles (who doesn’t?), then you may not be truly happy.
Join us for a great conversation with Dr. Ellen Wong. She’s a naturopathic doctor who is also the Chief Happiness Officer for many entrepreneurs and executives. She’s going to show us how to be truly happy regardless of what’s going on in our life and business.

Working with your spouse is always a hot topic. We typically get three reactions. Either, “It’s amazing,” “never,” or “we’re doing the best we can.” Regardless of which camp you lie, this episode is going to help your marriage whether you work with your spouse or not.  
According to the Kaufman Foundation, 71% of business owners are married and about half of them work with their spouse. That means at least half of our audience already works with their spouse. The rest of you either will never work together or thinking about it. You’d think working with your “best friend” wouldn’t be that difficult but when you’re around each other all the time, you start taking things for granted. This leads to acting or saying things you wouldn’t otherwise do with an employee or customer. 
While working with your spouse can pose many challenges, there are significant benefits like working with someone you trust the most, combining complimentary skills, and higher earning potential. In this episode, we discuss THREE keys that will help you and your spouse form a winning team.

If you’ve never tried tandem surfing before, it’s not as easy as it looks. It takes a lot of skill, determination, coordination and teamwork. It’s two people moving as one on a surfboard. And if you don’t, you could fall and get hurt. Kinda like a marriage.
Meet this week’s guest, Bear and Cindy Woznick. Tandem surf champion, author, entrepreneur, speaker, and TV host. They provide some great insight into working well as a team inside and out of the business. But more importantly, how to be honoring as husband and wife.
Listen in as you’ll hear some great life, marriage and business lessons from the surfboard.

Business strategy is good but your mindset is the most important place to start. It doesn’t matter how good or how sound the strategy is, if you’re not comfortable with the change you’re not likely to execute well. Why? Because change is not comfortable no matter how big or small it is. 
But whenever you’re trying to improve your situation, it is going to force you to change. And that’s where the mindset comes in. It’s really getting you comfortable to make the change. You would think if a business owner was losing six figures or more a year, they would be open to change, right? That’s not so. One of my first consulting clients was in that exact scenario but would not change. In fact, their famous saying everytime I brought up a potential solution was, “It’s not going to work. This is how we’ve been doing it for 40 years.” 
From the outside looking in, it would be obvious that what was working for 40 years isn’t anymore. Change was necessary but the owner was more comfortable in his misery than going down the path of the unknown. 
So if you’re looking to improve your business situation or take it to the next level of growth, listen to this episode. Get your mindset in position to grow your business.
