Chasing Your Dreams While in a Relationship

How You Can Chase Your Dreams While in A Relationship with Charles and Ashley Jenkins 

Pursuing your dreams in a relationship or marriage can seem daunting, but it’s not impossible. It’s like a puzzle with many pieces that have to fit together in order to make it work. Many couples want to do it, but without communication and support from each other, no one will make it to the other side. Your partner may not see your vision the way you see it, and this makes communication key, and it’s never a one-way conversation. Planning and supporting each other's dreams and passions will help you grow, achieve your goals and make your marriage stronger.  

Join the conversation with Charles and Ashley Jenkins, who are chasing their dreams and trying to build their business while raising a family and making sure they have time for each other. In the episode, they share their career path and entrepreneurial journey to provide you with practical tools to plan your future, build your business and achieve your goals while raising a family. Don’t wait for things to happen; make them happen.
