The truth is that when you’re running a business – or being a Misfit Entrepreneur – it can be a lonely game.

Sure, there are Facebook groups to chat in and network events to attend, but the day-to-day of running your own business is generally mostly you, your laptop and your busy brain doing overtime.

 

One thing that can help mitigate these lonesome feelings is a supportive partner – a shoulder to cry on, an ear to fill with questions and a long warm hug at the end of a terrible day.

But not all partners are supportive of our entrepreneur dreams, and even if they are, it can still be a struggle to juggle family commitments and life with your business needs.

 

In this week’s episode of the Confessions of a Misfit Entrepreneur podcast I have a very special guest: my husband Hichem Moussa. We’re going to be chatting about how we work together, support each other and sometimes drive each other crazy.
