What do you do when not even your wife/husband believe you?

    I'll start by answering my own question:

    First:
    Make sure you believe on yourself.

    If your wife, your brother, husband, neighbor don't believe in you, is no biggie, sometimes even expected. BUT YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF FIRST.

    Second:
    Take massive action and JUST DO IT! Conceive, Believe and Achieve...

      ye man, you got the question and the answers, and your totally right, believe in yourself first of all, then take action and prove that what you said was right...
      but don't give her the daddy thing as that is Ego and is not needed, the proof will speak for it self..
      LOL, great post.
      Thanks

    I have been blessed with a wife that believed in me from the very onset of our relationship. There is no way I would be where I am today if it were not for her.

    Well I have been there in a way, having a gf that wasn't all that supportive. Generally, I like to take the "don't talk about it, be about it" approach, and just do it, and they will come around, hopefully before you decide that you need someone positive and suportive in your life.

    Thanks for the answers guys.

    Well my wife is supportive, but you do notice when someone doesn't believe in something with the same passion.

    There is alot of what ifs....

      Michael Jordan was cut form the high school basketball team and went home and cried in his room

      Lucille Ball was kicked out of drama school and told she could not act

      Walt Disney was fired from the New York Times because they said he lacked imagination

      Thomas Edison was told in school that he was not very smart and should seek a career in something better fitting his pleasant personality.

      You only need to believe in yourself and the rest will follow. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day but eventually.

    Like they said, you have to believe in yourself first and foremost. If you have no self confidence, then others will pick up on that right from the start. If everyone quit when naysayers or others didn't believe in them, then we would not have a history filled with great minds and great accomplishments.

    It's very important to surround yourself with winners. It be as simple as reading a good book that will put some fire under your &$%

    We become what we thing about and who we surround ourselves with. If your husband/wife does not believe you, I would suggest you avoid conversations that lead to you feeling bad about what you're doing.. focus on something that you are in agreement with and in the mean time do something that will 'prove' to your wife/husband that your idea is cool and you can do this

    Find out the why. Why does she not believe?

    Have you been promising the $$$ for a long time?

    Have you been on the computer, spending time in the forums and other online time-sucking vampires, promising her that you are working on your online dreams, and yet not really doing anything productive or cash generating?

    The day you show her the paypal account with $$ in it, she will believe. There is no reason not to.

      People I talk to refer to this as "sleeping with the enemy." Knowing a lot of writers, internet marketers, and network marketers, I hear about this a lot.

      Viljay has an excellent point in finding out what the "why" is for an unsupportive spouse. If they insist on being negative about it, make them clearly verbalize why.

      Over and over I've seen the un-supportive spouse gape, make odd noises, and then come up with some B.S. that has nothing to do with anything. It doesn't always happen, sometimes they do have a good reason, but those who have a crummy reason usually start seeing their spouses "stupid plan" in a little different light after that.

      But I'm kind of ruthless when it comes to things like that. People with closed minds shouldn't open their mouths.

      I wish good luck to anyone who has a spouse or significant other who is resistant to their plans and dreams. Keep your chin up and make it work. You'll be getting lots of praise and affection on the other side.

    Like Lucky500 said, you must believe in yourself first. I definitely do. Also I have been blessed with a wife who believes in me as well, so that makes it so much easier to succeed, and stay focused. I honestly could not imagine how hard it must be to try and succeed with a spouse who does not believe in you.

    Hi Lucky,

    I've been down this road a few times. When the entire world feels like it's against you it can be a tough feeling to embrace.

    Ultimately this opposition gave me more fuel for my fire. This is when the term "Believe In Yourself" can be fully realized.

        Gino let's hope you are not a marriage counselor, otherwhise the divorce rate will double in the country!

        I did not say that my wife is not supportive. she is. but you know when someone is not believing it 100%. as a matter fact is not just my wife, but anybody pretty much that I know. when I talk about internet marketing I get so excited I start shakin' sometimes. I really have a passion for this. But I have yet to find someone with the same intensity "about Internet Marketing".

        I am trying to recruit a partner on my internet ventures, and no one feel the same way I do. Even my younger brother, which I thought would get right on board is a bit skeptical.

        Oh well, I guess when I am a millionaire, they won't be my partners, they will have to get on line and buy my ebook, just like everybody else.:rolleyes:

          The conversational intensity thing is something i have to work on. I'm generally easy going and quiet in public but when a question comes up about my business i can't shut up lol

          I recall a friend in university asking my opinion about facebook. That was a rant she did NOT expect

          About 1% of the people i talk to understand what I do after an in-depth explanation. I know they understand because they soon after ask a very relevant question whereas if they don't understand I just deal with a relatively blank stare and a change of subject.

          My gf initially lost hope in me after two years of not really going any where with IM. But I had managed to make a little $$ just after she confronted me and things just snowballed from there (with $$, not her).

          If you really want to make it do whatever you have to do to keep going. The belief that you will make it is the strongest weapon you have. Having others believe in you is sort of just a bonus

      Hi, Not at all i'm a marriage counselor...The best marriage counselors is the ones that experience marriage it self.

      whoa, whoa, whoa....
      -------->lol..a marriage have three rings...a marriage-ring....engagement-ring ..........& and a suffer-ring

      I did not say that my wife is not supportive. she is. but you know when someone is not believing it 100%. as a matter fact is not just my wife, but anybody pretty much that I know. when I talk about internet marketing I get so excited I start shakin' sometimes. I really have a passion for this. But I have yet to find someone with the same intensity "about Internet Marketing".
      You have a goal in life to be succesful online,your wive must back you 200%....On the other side i'ts not all about you.......Do you believe in your wive,and what see wants.....To just focus what you want and not what your wive want ...than respectively you are typically "selfish"....You certainly take alot of time in front of the pc...So your wive want your attention also..."REMEMBER A WOMAN NEEDS AFFECTION" see want to feel good about herself...........

      That you lack in your marriage........What if for instance,see go outdoor & a other man fullfill that GAP (affection)...and see feel good about herself...I don't say cheat..but a mean by a decent conversation,hug...or just give her a good compliment.......................In time see will get attracted to that man...and will want to be in that presence...while you ..sit infront of your pc....a other man give your wive affection..

      Belief mean Trust.....without trust..jealousy (mental abuse) comes in...after that communication breaks..that lead to dirty arguments (verbal Abuse)...show it go further and further....that's why most man abuse woman( physically)....cause of belief(trust)...............The woman strike with the tongue...and that the hardest (emotional abuse)........that break a man for a life time........emotional abuse...is like a sword cut through the HEART...... ..


      The woman gender are far different from man...They can multi-task and a man cannot multi-task.......that one of the zillions of small differences..we differ from them.. This is a also a good internet marketing strategy to attract woman to buy products..

      A woman want AFFECTION & ........a man wants SEX........

      Give her affection and see will start belief in you........200%

      Thanks I Apreciate

      SAME HERE

      With that said...for those who are experiencing "lack of belief" problems...maybe think about producing results to prove that you can do what you believed in yourself.

      Sometimes...people, no matter how close they are to us...are limited by what they themselves think is possible. It's not their fault...just we are all raised differently, and not everyone is open to new ideas and taking risks in order obtain a positive result.

      What it comes down to is how much YOU believe in yourself. The most successful people in life influence others to believe in them - simply by how much they believe in themselves.

      Think Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson etc.

    If you do, others (family, friends, etc.) FINALLY will do to.

    I don't say it's gonna be instantly, but anyway, don't waste your time to convince them. Convince them later with your results.

    Even if you're not trying to convince anyone, but if you have results, and you're love at what you're doing, they will honour you..

    1. She'll feel included (guys, the ladies love to feel included in what you're doing even if from a distance)
    2. You'll be more productive which will in turn....
    3. Create more monetary results which is where the rubber meets the road in getting anyone to believe in your entrepreneurial adventures!

    believe in yourself is not easy as it can look first time - because you believe what you receive for hard work. If you work hard and don't get any single results you desired after some period of time you will stop believe in yourself.

    Many many online people, whose earn money understands only what to do, but if they make some cash they start ignoring "Why and how it worked!" They think like "I made money and I don't care why it worked and how it worked", they why they will fail and will start teaching others "what to do" even they made thousands, but ignorance made them back where they started.

    Never ignore why and how it happened in you life and in your business what ever results you achieved

    If any loved one doesn't believe in you, it is time to reconsider the relationship. It is easy for people to stand by you when things are hunky dory but when things are tough, you really begin to see the real friends and the people who love you.

    I have seen many people come and go but few stuck by me through my business ups and downs. I say that if your spouse does not believe you, you got some serious thinking to do.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[8348135].message }}
  • I say carry on with what ever you have been doing before the controversy and continue to do what you believe is the correct course of action all the while expressing kindness and consideration to your spouse.

    If you do what is right all the rest of it will sort itself out in time.
