At the Internet Marketers Money Making Machine we have discovered that another key ingredient to your success is the support and understanding of your spouse and children. It is critical they understand what you are about to embark on, how it will affect them, and what you are trying to accomplish. And what is really important is you have their support. You might be puzzled right now as to why you need support? After all you have very carefully examined your motives, have clearly identified that you have enough time to put into a business, you have analyzed your financial situation and determined you can swing it without not paying the rent or this weeks groceries, and have taken a good stock of yourself. So why would you need support from anyone else? Its not like it is their money or their time. Well after countless failures and a few successes I can tell you unless you are a stone, people will be keeping an eye on what you are doing and ready to pounce on every failure. It is called the crab affect. When a crab attempts to climb out of the bucket and certain death, all of the other crabs grab on to it so as not to let it accept. They will not let you rise above your station. They don't mind that they are in the dump, as long as you stay right there with them. And if your successful, don't expect them to be real happy either. Let's talk about the first place not to look for support. Your friends and/or co-workers. For the most part they are your friends and coworkers because you share a common bond based on ethnicity, education, culture, pay, housing, and financial status. For the most part they are quite happy to be where they are at and have grown comfortable to everyone's place in the pecking order of life. Change any one of these items and you upset the status quo as you are no longer on the same level, but a higher one. Now they perceive you as a threat to their identity. Now they are uncomfortable. Now they have to take stock of their lives and teir feeble excuses. "How dare you think you are better than they?" If you don't think I am speaking the truth, think of the false congratulations of someone who gets promoted and all of the grumblings behind their back. "Now they think they are better than me." Or ask anyone who has won the lottery. Jealousy and envy rise to the surface. Not joy and happiness. My advice is to get new friends. Start hanging out with people who are entrepreneurial and successful. Learn from them. They will understand your pain, failures, and fears. The Chamber of Commerce is a great place to start. The second stratosphere of personal contacts is your birth family. Meaning your mother, father, sisters, and brothers. Now they might not be full of jealousy and envy, but don't count on a lot of support starting out. After all they know you. They have grown up with you. They know your capabilities better than you think. They have watched you either be a quitter or a winner. "Is this another hare-brained scheme of yours?" "Am I going to have to buy something off of you?" "Don't even try and recruit me fool. I'm not interested!" Let's face it, ever since AmWay every American on the face of planet has been tagged by their siblings to buy products they don't want, asked to pay to join an organization they don't want to be a part of, and then have to hear you babble on constantly about what a great opportunity this is and how rich you are going to be. Hey, they are your family, leave them alone. They'' appreciate it more whenever you are successful. If they want to buy something or join, they'll ask you. And just leave it at that. The alternative is you get hurt feelings because they won't buy, won't join, won't talk to you, and avoid you. Get the point? Which leads us to the most obvious and absolutely most important support element your family. Starting with the most important person would be your spouse, and then your children if you have any. Why, because the impact on money and time available is greatest on them. After all you are spending their money and taking time away from them. Actually putting them out as they have to pick up the slack. From my personal observations, absolutely every successful entrepreneur has the complete and 100% support of their spouses without question. I don't care if you are into real estate, mortgage broking, insurance sales, car sales, mlm, affiliate sales, or a brick and mortar establishment. If your spouses doesn't understand and get it, you'll never make it. Your life will be miserable. You might even break up over it. It has happened before. Stop and think why? Your weekends are taken up. You are not free during the week. Remember those couple of hours each night? They have to go to the store more. Do more laundry. Clean the house more. Spend more time on the kids. They have to arrange their schedule to accommodate yours. So there is less time for them selves. You don't go to the movies as often. The money for the little extra things isn't there. You are always going to meetings. If they aren't fully behind you and don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. They will feel put off. They will feel that they are being taken advantage of. That they are sacrificing and you are not. And it is going to drag on for some time before you reach a level of success and equilibrium. And let's not forget all of the failure and rejection you will encounter at first. They will always be harping on all of this work and no money. Trust me it sucks. Then to make matters worse, if you have kids, there is the guilt factor of maybe not always going to the baseball game, or the dance recital. Maybe you'll miss parents day at school. Or they'll want you to go to the movies or fishing, or the beach. And you aren't available. Now you are seeing the wisdom of the earlier exercises. You'll be able to sit down with your spouse and point out all of the requirements and commitments that will be required. That you do indeed have the time, the money and the were withal to see this thru in the long run. You will be able to explain what it is you are trying to accomplish. A little extra money for a little nest egg, more vacation money, money for college, or to refurnish the bathroom. Or to protect yourself from a loss of a job. Once they discover that you have thought this through and have included them in this thought process, they'll buy into it and back you 100%. Your success will become their success because it have been accomplished as a team And you won't lose your marriage or feel like you are abandoning your family. A whole lot more fun.
