Emma’s office is over there. Mine’s here. So you’re basically around each other all day, every day. One thing that helps massively? Clear lanes. Emma runs Insiteful. She builds 100+ sites a year. Leads a team of 10–15. Owns the delivery, the systems, the outcomes. She absolutely crushes it. I run eCommerce Circle and float between both brands. But the biggest reason it works isn’t the structure. It’s the mission. Years ago we were living in Roxburgh Park. If you know Victoria… you know it’s a shithole. Emma always said she wanted land. A property. A horse. So I figured if I wanted to keep her around… Guess I’m becoming a farmer. That goal became the thing we were building toward. Now our kids go to an amazing school. We live on a beautiful property. Great friends. Great life. That didn’t come from perfect days. It came from work. Hard work. Some annoying clients. Some chaos. But all of it pays for the life we wanted. So if you’re building a business with your partner, here’s the biggest tip. Don’t try to run everything together. Pick lanes. “I run this.” “You run that.” Own the outcomes. And when work is done… Try not to bring it to the dinner table every night. Not always easy. But it matters. Curious actually… If you work with your partner, what’s the one rule that keeps you sane?
