When you just can’t work at home

One thing can be a real deterrent to your success online is when your family is not behind what you’re doing. Ok, maybe it’s not that they’re against what you’re doing but they cannot see any value in it. After all, are you making any money doing it? You’re always on the computer! Why exactly do you spend so much time on the internet, what are you doing? If you’re not making any money from the business, why are you spending money? How much money did you spend on your business so we can deduct that when we file our taxes? How much longer will you stay with it before you quit? They say internet businesses are a scam, nobody makes money doing that. Why so many conference calls if you don’t have any money coming in? I’m going to the store, do you need anything? The game comes on in 10 minutes, are you planning to watch it? I’ve been thinking of painting this room, what color do you think I should go with? You haven’t been on the internet for over a week, are you feeling ok? Did you hear that AI left the Grizzlies? YOU have a blog? I know you’re busy, but you gotta come here and see what this guy on tv is doing.
Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out strand by strand.
Now I don’t believe for one minute that my spouse does not want to see me succeed online. After all, if I win, he wins, right? I also don’t believe that I am the only internet marketer that runs into this.
So tell me, how do you get your family members to understand that building a business online requires your time and in most cases, your money too?
Invite them to join you?
Ask for their help?
Get up 3 hours early every day (weekends too) so you can get some uninterrupted work done before you leave for the office?
Explain and apologize for the fact that what you’re trying to do requires some of your time on a daily basis (hopefully, without interruption) after which I will be glad to watch the game with you?
Forget about it, I give up!
If you think I am going to end this post with the perfect answer to the problem, I’m not.
This is where you come in.
