How to Handle an Unsupportive Spouse or Partner As a Big-Thinking Business Woman


Listen Later


If your partner or spouse isn’t necessarily on board with your business ambitions, you’re not alone.

Lack of (emotional) support is a topic that comes up often for women business owners. In fact, it came up several times among attendees during my April mastermind retreat and even after everyone went back home.

Striking that balance (lacking a better word) between your role as a big-thinking business owner and your role as a relationship partner is challenging to find. But it’s not impossible!

In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn eight reasons why your significant other can be unsupportive of you pursuing your business dreams. I’ll also teach you four things to do to resolve it and make the situation (and the conversation about it) a little easier for you both.

6:11 - Eight reasons why your partner might be opposing your business dreams and aspirations

18:26 - Four steps to create a balance between your big-thinking business ambition and happiness with your significant other

23:58 - What to do and what not to do when speaking with your partner or spouse about their support for your business dreams

26:30 - What your level of compromise in this situation will depend on and how to know you’re on the right track
