The choice of whether to be “safe” or to go after opportunity and what we truly desire is one that we must make throughout our lives.
And if we’re choosing to go for what we want, we are leaving safety behind, accepting risk and going against what most people think is practical.
When I look back on my journey to what got me here…..it’s always the risk that propelled me forward, and safety that held me back.
Should you ever use personal or family money to fund your business?
A few weeks ago we did an episode on how to talk to your spouse about investing in your business – and WOW did we ever have a lot of response and private messages.
When you’re growing your business, it’s not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when” you’re going to need to make an investment BEFORE you’ve generated the income to pay for it. Whether you’re just starting out, or even if you’ve been in business a while and you desire to grow to the next level.
And the money has to come from somewhere. It may need to come from your savings, from other disposable income that was earmarked for other things, maybe it has to come out of the immediate profits in your business that you can’t yet take out for yourself or your family, or maybe you even need to borrow it.
And when you’re in a relationship where your money Is pooled, it can sometimes feel like those decisions aren’t yours to make.
Is your entrepreneurial desire to create your own rules and design your destiny?
Instead of following the path, does your heart yearn to create your own?
I get it, the entrepreneurial dream is like a fire that cannot be extinguished, or even contained.
But what happens, when even though it’s your business, you don’t have all the say?
While there are many ways that can happen, today I’m focusing on what happens when that constraint appears to be the one you love the most, your spouse?
