I’ve been wanting to talk about something on this podcast for a while. But I’ve wrestled with how to do it. Over the holidays, I followed Peter Shallard (“The Shrink for Entrepreneurs”) who does it in a way I relate to. And now I think I can finally frame this discussion in an impactful way. So today, I talk about how women who want to start or invest in a business can get past the struggle that arises if they’re also in a relationship with someone who doesn’t approve of their ambition.

2:07 - The extra ingredient that needs to be put into the secret sauce of business success

6:36 - Women entrepreneurs I know who don’t do this fail quickly

10:03 - The risk-taking nature of entrepreneurship and the importance of a failure

13:17 - How a “cushion relationship” stops you from experiencing the entrepreneurial failures you need and the way to overcome it

20:00 - The difference between a cushion versus a “pillar relationship” and how it can put you on the fast track to insanity

24:04 - What you can do if you’re an entrepreneur in a pillar relationship
