It’s time we had a hard conversation.
One of the concerns I most commonly hear from people who are wanting to leave their corporate job and start their own bookkeeping business is about their partners. Typically, this means their husbands.
“How do I get my husband on board?”
“My husband just flat-out shut me down—any advice?”
“I want to pursue this, but my husband is afraid of the risk financially.”
Particularly when you are the breadwinner of the house, these concerns are valid—it’s a big leap to take, and anyone would be a bit skeptical at first. But it’s not always solely about practical concerns…and the way to approach the conversation shifts depending on what sort of situation you’re in.
No matter what kind of situation you’re dealing with, I have some advice. Let’s take a look at some of the ways these concerns from partners can show up.
