It’s no secret that being an entrepreneur is hard and takes a lot of sacrifices. Those sacrifices often include relationships, including the one with your spouse.
According to Entrepreneur, there are four keys to maintaining a relationship with your spouse while still being a successful entrepreneur.
The first key is asking for the specific support you need. Whether it’s encouraging words, alone time, or a meal, you must be vocal about what you need from your partner.
Secondly, you should guard your time and presence. This means whenever you are somewhere, you need to give your full attention to that person or project during that time. When you’re working, be there entirely, putting your focus into work. When you leave to go home and spend time with your spouse or family, focus your time on them. The critical way to help you focus at home is by leaving your phone in the car or putting it on silent.
The third key to protecting your relationships while being an entrepreneur is putting the right tools in place. Technology is a critical source in helping you prioritize and save time. Consider tech that can help you maximize your days.
Lastly, the most important is hiring the right people. Your team needs to be aligned around your mission and work in unison toward your shared goal.
These are not all of the things that are needed but its the foundation to help keep your relationship while also reaching your goals.
