Can An MBA Help With My Next Relationship?

Is that where you are right now?  Or are you expecting that question to be asked?

Have you already been involved in a marriage that didn’t work?

Do you have children and are thinking about your partner’s children and how “yours mine and ours” will get along after the marriage? 

Do you want more children? 

No matter how distant that event may sound, have you wondered how these gifts would be received by either set of existing children?

Do any of these questions give you some trepidation about the “BIG question” being asked?

Have you considered presenting a prenuptial agreement to your new partner to discuss how each partners’ assets could be allocated if this joyous occasion results in another failure?

How does the thought of that discussion make you feel?

If you find yourself ready to take another try at establishing a commitment with another person that you hope will be for the rest of your life, and have experiences that tell you to make sure the assets are protected, then perhaps the information you will read in the following pages can help you look at a new way to structure your “start-up”.

My background is in business and I laugh a bit about using business terms in the context of structuring a marital relationship, but then, don’t the two share very similar attributes. 

What is facing many couples around the globe today, as they consider marriage for the second time, is exactly that:  a new business relationship with multiple stakeholders – stakeholders that exist at the initiation of the relationship as well as stakeholders that may become involved in the future, as new additions to the family.

As an entrepreneur, my experiences in forming a great number of organizations’ stakeholder relationships has shown me that the type of formation model used in bringing together the stakeholders, (whether it is a private company, or corporation or partnership or cooperative), can impact how all the stakeholder’s  goals can be met and sustained over time.  Ultimately, how a ‘start-up’ is formed plays an important role in obtaining the most valuable objective for the organizational effort:  Happiness.

And that is what I hope this book will help you achieve, sustainable happiness in your marriage.

My business endeavors over 25 years have allowed me to create a patent pending method for bringing alignment of all the various stakeholders for a project together in a way that increases that effort’s chances for success.  (Increasing the probability for a higher shareholder return in the effort by as much as 40%).

It is based on what many feel already is a foundation of marriage:  Cooperation.

My first book, “Let’s Cooperate!” details the various bylaws, contracts and membership agreements that form the patent pending GEoA Cooperative Formation Model™.

The details of how 25 years of research has resulted in my innovation in Commercializing and Financing new projects – and why it works so well - will not be covered in this book.   However, I will use the principals from which this model was created to show you how you are able to apply this new and unique Cooperative Formation Model to your Second Marriage to improve its chances for success.

While focus is on the Second Marriage, a description of how first marriages and existing marriages may want to utilize this model to improve their own efforts in growing together is also covered!

The premise of “Let’s Cooperate!” is that we all strive for Happiness, whether in business or our personal lives.

What power happiness has in our life!

You must certainly feel that power now, when you are with your potential spouse, or you wouldn’t be considering the enormous risks that you may assume by entering into a marriage for a second time.

Risk management can, in any organization by proper alignment of all the stakeholders, improve the chances for that organization’s success.  Your Second Marriage is a new Organization and alignment of your interests and your spouses along with all the stakeholders that are vested in the organization may improve your chances of sustained success.

That is why the GEoA Cooperative Model™ works so well in business formations:  RISK IS REDUCED! (AND that is why it may help your Second Marriage!)
