Recently Akuba and I have worked really hard to stay on track with our individual objectives.  So much so that we sometimes neglect the business goals and objectives we share!  No one really suffers but our businesses, so it was important for us to find something to help us foster creativity and communication but didn’t take up a lot of time.

For the past few months I’ve been heads down working on a variety of projects but today I want to highlight my baby! Introducing Social Saints!

Simply put God wants me to use my talents to empower others. Since I’ve always considered myself a God Fearing Internet Marketer, I decided to combine those two truths into something more real.

I found an interesting article written by Colleen DeBaise on smSmallBiz.com.  The article features two married couples who have both run their own businesses for a number of years.  DeBaise discusses the day-to-day issues each couple faces and the ways in which they overcome their differences.  The article suggests three different approaches to resolving disputes with your mate:  using a neutral third party such as an accountant, clear division of responsibilities, and open discussions about money.  To read the article in its entirety, visit:  http://www.smsmallbiz.com/profiles/Work_and_Life_Entrepreneurial_Mates.html
