So like the title says, I have creative ideas and always try to include my wife in discussions, but all she ever brings to the table is problems and negativity when we discuss things. She thinks she’s being “pragmatic” but it’s tremendously disheartening and the problems she imagines are always the absolute worst of the worst case scenarios. Everything I’ve ever read or watched when it comes to starting businesses is, just start and figure out the problems later. I’m well aware of the potential for difficulties in any endeavor, but tend to believe in myself and my ability to adapt and overcome. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you find middle ground, if at all?
Between the two of you, is either the integrator? Sounds like you are filling the dreamer role.Look at things through this kind of lens, can each one of you adopt one of these roles? How can you stay compatible while making sure these roles are filled?
So glad to see EOS in here. So many people in this sub could benefit from operating their business in that way.
This is a cool approach! How should I look the remaining “roles” to learn more about them?
Edit to clarify how to google them
Thank you for sharing!
