NooraK said:Is "Come To The Basement" still available on supply order? If so, order that and give it to him. It may help him see the business in somewhat of a different light.
As for a business plan, PC already has one: 3-2-1. Explain the concept to him, and let him know that it has been proven to work over and over again, and if he supports her in getting that done, she can be as successful as she wants.
Chef Kearns said:It also kinda depends on how unsupportive he is. Is he just unsure that she can be successful? Or, is he unsupportive to the point that he'd try to sabotage her? I had a consultant who signed despite her husband being reluctant. Well, he completely refused to stay with their son is she had a party. He would LEAVE the house before she had to go! If she wanted to go to training meetings he would take her car or again just leave without their son. He would hide her purse so she couldn't leave. He didn't want her do be a consultant and made it impossible for her to succeed. She didn't even have a chance to prove to him that she could make it work. All you can do is provide the business information to your lead and she has to decide if it will work for her family.

So I don't think they carry it directly anymore. If you go to Amazon and look at the Kindle Edition, I think you can read the first chapter online- including the foreword/intro by Doris and Warren Buffet.
NooraK said:I think you're referring to Doris's Book. I was referring to the one Jay wrote about being a supportive spouse. I checked the Supply Fact Sheet, and it is still available. $5.00, #3422. I did see a couple of used copies available on Amazon, but not on Kindle.

Dealing with an unsupportive spouse can be difficult, but it's important to first understand why your husband may be feeling this way. Is he worried about your safety? Is he feeling left out or neglected? Once you identify the root of the issue, sit down and have an open and honest conversation with him. Explain the importance of your job and how his support can make a positive impact on your career. It's also important to find a balance between your work and personal life to assure your husband that he is still a priority to you.
It's not always easy to change someone's perspective, but try to approach the situation with empathy. Put yourself in your husband's shoes and try to understand his concerns. Then, have a conversation with him about your job and why it's important to you. Be patient and understanding, and give him time to adjust to your new career. You can also try to involve him in your work by sharing stories or inviting him to events. Showing him that you value his opinion and support can help convince him to be more supportive.
If your husband is still unsupportive despite your efforts to communicate and involve him, it's important to remember that it's ultimately your decision and your career. You can try to find a compromise or seek outside support from a trusted friend or family member. It's also important to have a strong support system outside of your marriage, whether it's through coworkers or friends, to help you navigate any challenges that may arise.
Finding a balance between your career and your marriage is crucial to maintaining a healthy relationship. Communication is key - make sure to keep your husband informed about your schedule and commitments. Set aside dedicated time for your marriage, whether it's a weekly date night or simply spending quality time together. It's also important to prioritize self-care and prioritize your own well-being to avoid feeling overwhelmed or burnt out.
This is a personal decision that only you can make. It's important to weigh the pros and cons and consider the long-term impact on both your career and your marriage. If your job brings you fulfillment and happiness, it's worth finding a way to make it work with your husband's support. However, if it's causing significant strain on your marriage and your mental well-being, it may be necessary to reconsider your options. Ultimately, the decision should be based on what will make you happiest in the long run.
