If you own a home business, does your family participate or do you work alone?
I’ve heard tales, and for a short while lived them, about how a spouse will eagerly start a home based business of one sort or another and before they can even get their feet wet in the business – – BAM the other spouse starts belittling and generally putting a damper on the once enthusiastic entrepreneur’s ambitions.
Luckily for me, my husband saw that I don’t just talk about something that I intend to do, I do it – – so he’s since changed his tune; especially now that I make as much from my home businesses as I did from my prior job, and we don’t pay child care. Ha!
Anyway, it’s been over 2 years since all that mess transpired, and I’ve seen and heard just about every story imaginable on the subject of home business start-ups/failures. I’ve also learned that most spouses, family members and ‘friends’ react in such damaging ways out of either fear or ignorance. I suppose some are just plain mean, but well, that’s another issue we’ll leave for Dr. Phil or Oprah.
For lucky...
