If your wife/husband does not work or run an alternate business, she/he is probably doing a great job taking care of the children and the home. Or so you’d like to think. Wives/husbands do not like being left out of the income chain, no matter how critically they contribute to holding the ship above water at home. No matter how much you try to convince them they are doing a wonderful job. They must be part of the revenue chain for you to succeed. Otherwise you are in deep trouble, without having a clue for years from where the trouble is coming.
Here are a few examples of what your wife/husband may decide/do while you’re hard at work (clueless) building your small business. Warning: it may take you years to realize what’s really happening.
A)You are involved emotionally with one of the men/women you employ.
B)You have a hidden partner of the opposite sex on whom you are spending most of your income
C)You are re-investing on everything (like your small business) except your own family
D)You are definitely hiding part of the income in case there’s a divorce
E)You are sending unaccounted money every month to your mother
F)“When was the last time you took us out?” (forget the fact any suggestion to go out is always scuttled skillfully)
G)The last relative you employed against your own policies was actually engineered by your wife/husband, though you didn’t have a clue at the time
H)Your own family are suddenly behaving like you are an acquaintance
I)Your long-time friends and associates know more than you’ve ever told them
Sorry, I can’t tell you more. All these happened to one of my small business compatriots, who owns a successful enterprise in Dubai. If I tell you more, some of you would know who it is. Identities are always protected in this blog.
Cheers!
