5. Hold regular family meetings....There should be scheduled, structured family meetings with a written agenda.

Ugh. I think I'd rather have my old job back.

I'm sure six year-olds love the idea of having to sit down for half an hour and listening to mom and dad talk about cashflow. You can even get them a copy of "Robert's Rules of Order (for Kids!)".

Yeah, that's a bit over the top, but in my own experience a weekly brief with my SO is the only way I've been able to keep a happy relationship while building businesses. I never really thought about it before I started doing it, but treating my gf/now fiancee as a investor (which she is in a sense) got us through those uncertain times.

haha, that is horrible. written agenda? but for my 8 year olds, they get pumped about new challenges and new places to live. i've had success chatting over a few burgers. they dont need to know about cash or conversions. just adventures.
