goals for Absolute Termite . Keeping those goals in the forefront , while we each work hard to fulfill our individual roles , has helped us work together as a team .
Eric : It can be hard at times to “ turn work off ” in our personal time , especially when things are really busy . Date nights where we do not talk about work help . Also , we try to carve out certain times to discuss important business decisions during the workday , so those conversations don ’ t take place at home .
Success & Satisfaction
Brittany : Working together , while tough at times , has strengthened our relationship . It has also given us flexibility that allows us to stay active with our two young boys .
