How to get your spouse on board
I'm brand new to internet marketing and brand new to this forum. I'm looking for advice on how to move forward with building an on-line business when your spouse is less than 100% supportive. Or less than 50% supportive. Or not supportive at all.
The day job isn't cutting it, so I've been spending the past month or so researching ways to pull in some extra cash online (typical story, right?), but whenever I approach my wife with some of my ideas for "internet marketing" she starts to cringe.... She asks why I can't just focus on working harder at the day job or on a second job in the evening.... It's frustratingly ironic. We know that we need to bring in more income, but I can only talk to her about earning money from a "real" job, something "dependable."
I've read lots of stories from successful marketers about how they endured scoffs from family, friends, coworkers when they were getting started. I'm finding myself in kind of a similar situation. I can deal with most of the unsupportive commentary outside the home, but fighting it at home makes things a lot more difficult.....
Anyone else here have a similar story? How do you deal with it?
Thanks,
Ben
