It’s wonderful when business owners have family, friends and associates who believe in and encourage their business ideas. But what if you’re not that fortunate?

I’ve had coaching clients who blamed their lack of progress in business on unsupportive and even hostile family members. “My spouse thinks I’m crazy to leave a good job just to follow a dream that may never come true. And maybe he’s right.”
