Description

One of the unspoken stressors for new entrepreneurs is convincing a partner or spouse that starting a business is a smart idea.

The rigors of start-up life require a whole new set of communication skills to ensure that you keep your relationship strong while you build your business.

In this 30 minute interview, relationship expert and coach Lisa Merlo-Booth gives very specific suggestions for:

• Breaking the news to your spouse that you want to start a business
• Talking about money and cash flow so financial concerns don't stress your relationship
• Creating "what if" contracts with each other to prevent stressful conversations
• How to talk to a spouse who is unsupportive of your business idea
• How men and women can break unhelpful gender-based patterns of communication
• How to set firm boundaries around work hours so you are present for your family
