#91: What To Do If Your Family Isn’t Supportive of Your Business

Throughout my time as a business coach, I have heard from many clients asking what to do when their family isn’t supportive of their business. I can understand why family might have concerns, but I also get really fired up when it comes to supporting women in business.

I’m here to walk you through what I tell my clients when this situation happens. Here are the main points discussed in this episode:

  • The transition of family as customers
  • Family and friends may not have seen you in your profession before
  • They want us to be safe and running your own business isn’t always seen as safe to them
  • Show them, don’t tell them
  • Consider not asking for their feedback; utilize someone who has done it or has experience
  • Surround yourself with a supportive community
