Is Your Spouse on Your Team?
Every woman deserves a spouse that is supportive of their business. Today on our Direct Sales Business Breakthrough call, a woman shared how her spouse was not supportive of her business. Truthfully, I have heard this way too may times.
Unfortunately, I have also seen too many times that a successful direct seller does not make it when her spouse is not supportive because at some point she has to make a choice between her marriage and her business.
Even if you have a totally supportive spouse, you will encounter this challenge with some of your team members as your team size grows. Here are four big tips to create an environment of support for your direct sales business among spouses:
1. Share your compelling vision with your spouse. (for more on compelling vision listen to the Create Your Compelling Vision podcast here http://directsalescoaching.com/blog/create-your-compelling-vision/ )
2. Tell your spouse you really need their support to be successful and make a request for it.
3. Tell them specifically what support looks like. For example: pick up the kids three days a week, make dinner on show nights, load and unload the car, etc.
4. Increase your acknowledgment of your spouse. This is another important topic I will write more on in the near future. For now listen to this awesome podcast to learn this skill.
