Dave Lukas Chats with Adam and Kerry Anderson186: Whole Life Entrepreneurship and How to Live It with Adam and Kerry Anderson
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneurs are Adam and Kerry Anderson. Adam and Kerry are at the forefront of helping with one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs’ face - how to create a successful relationship with your spouse and family while devoting yourself to and building a business. In fact, their business is called Whole Life Entrepreneurship, because that is what it takes to succeed on all these fronts, a whole life approach. Adam and Kerry help entrepreneurs and their families work through the side of entrepreneurship and family relationships that most don’t want to talk about or deal with that eventually causes major issues in their lives. In fact, they started Whole Life Entrepreneurship because they went through major challenges with Adam building his global business and eventually selling it. Everything looked good on the surface, but it really wasn’t. Their journey to regain their relationship and learn to thrive as an entrepreneur family is full of amazing lessons that I can’t wait for them to share with you. www.WLEMission.com Show NotesThe journey for Adam and Kerry started when Adam was building an amazing company that he was desperately in love with. And unbeknownst to him, at the end of the day, it was causing a number of ripples across his life that he wasn’t aware of until he and Kerry reached a breaking point. He didn’t realize that he had been a whirlwind of destruction. His years of building the business took him away from the business.
This focus on the business created anger and resentment with Kerry. The business was the sun and the other things, like family, revolved around it. Their marriage began to fall apart. Adam was traveling a lot and they couldn’t work on themselves until Adam had a breaking point and after a few years of working deeply on themselves together, they made their ways through and created the life they really wanted.

That is…until I found Blinkist, my secret weapon for learning things and staying at the top of my game.

It seems there is always something to write up. And many times, a lot of what we write is the same thing. Whether it is responding to clients, writing blog posts, business messages and emails, show notes, and so on. There are so many things we type repeatedly…what if there was a solution that remembered all of these things that we type all of the time and with the stroke of key, automatically filled everything in.
Well, guess what, it exists. It’s called TextExpander from Smile Software. Imagine shaving seconds and minutes out of your day, every time you type.
