Ground rules for copreneurs
Give each of you clear authority over your own area so nothing gets double-handled. Keep disagreements behind closed doors: never in front of employees, clients or your kids. Agree on an off-ramp up front: if the business ever threatens the marriage, one of you steps down. And set work hours and no-business-talk zones at home.
