Last week I posted a photo that said parents kill more dreams than anyone.. I want to add to that, partners often come in at a very close second! Often when one partner in a relationship pursues an entrepreneurial endeavour, their is much resistance from the spouse. Often feelings of being unloved and insecurities begin to pop up. (Happens to both males and females here) A couple of things need to be established.. What are your end goals as a couple? What is your end game? Are you wanting the life, wealth and freedom of a Donald Trump or Opera Winfrey? (Remember its a team game) Or are you happy struggling through the rest of your lives and just being average? If you have the big goals and dreams unfortunately these types of results take sacrifice.. So do your actions match the goals? Are you willing to make the sacrifice to reach the dream? What do you think Opera would do if her partner said hey babe, you love your tv show more than me, why are you always filming, you have to stop! What do you think Donald Trump would say if his partner said Donald you spend to much time at work, I want you to laze around the house with me of at night Well we all know they wouldnt stand for it, so the entrepreneur has to put the foot down but also explain the why and the long term goal with their partner. Because if you just give up on your dreams because of your partner I believe there will always be that long term resentment towards that person so I dont believe that is the answer. We shouldnt give up our dreams for anyone! Ive seen buddies of mine give up on their dreams for their partner, only to later break up. How do yo think he is feeling right now? But at the same time once the entrepreneur understands their spouse may feel unloved and under valued, you can work on making sure the feel special and make sure they know the why behind the action. Now Im no Dr Phil here but the way I see it is if 2 partners with very different end goals are together, they better be willing to support each others goals all the way through or I believe it will either end in disaster or be one of those spiteful relationships full of bitterness and despair.
