What to do when your significant other doesn’t support you.

Posted on 20 July 2011

This is really in my opinion one of the hardest obstacles to over come when you are getting started in the home business industry.

It always humored me when I got started in my business and really devoting the time that I needed to start to make some big things happen and got nothing but complaints and questions.

Not questions of interest.

Questions like:

How long are you going to do that for?
How much is it gonna cost you.
What makes you think you can….?
What if it…..?
I don’t understand why….?

And those are just a few of the questions that I encountered and I am sure that you yourself have encountered if you are in a relationship of any sort that does not understand what you have set out to do.

I could sit and watch television from the time I got home from work until the time that I went to bed and not a single word would have been mentioned about being lazy, boring or just wasting large amounts of valuable time.

But deciding to invest my time and my life into something more productive and learning skill sets that will be valuable for the rest of my life, was anything but peachy cream.

So how do you overcome “Spousal Business Suicide” as I like to call it?

It is really not that difficult, it will just require a little bit of extra work on your part.

Here is what I did. And remember, you are more than likely going to have to lose some sleep, but you have to be willing to sacrifice for the life of your business.

1. Do a little extra work around the house. – When you are helping out more around the house it is extremely helpful and will earn your some extra points.


2. Help out with the kids a little more. Once again more points, but NEVER use it as leverage, do it without mentioning it or using it.

3. PLAN your balance with family and business and business. If you plan your business activities, you will not waste as much time and become more efficient at getting tasks done quicker.

4. Study and learn on your downtime. Listen to mp3’s, tapes cd’s when you are driving in your car, walking, lunch breaks. Spend time learning any and as much free time as you have. This way you don’t have to do It at home and you can get family and marketing done every single day.

Those four tips should help you out major when balancing life and business. It is in my opinion all a matter of planning your business around your life.

As you start to increase your knowledge and learn how to automate and outsource elements of your marketing you will begin to earn more and more and working less.
