Connie Ragen Green — Starting An Online Business? Get Your Family on Board

Getting Your Family on Board with Your Online Business

Starting any business is a big undertaking. It’s even more challenging if you’re trying to do it while holding down a full-time job and caring for your family. If you’re starting an online business, get your family on board from the very beginning.

The people in our lives like to know what’s going on around them. So, if you’re going to start a new business venture, offline or online be sure to take the time to explain your plans and involve them in the process as much as possible.

Think of it this way, if you can’t prove to your family that your business venture is worthwhile, how will you show your prospective customers and clients it is?

Here are a few steps to take when you’re starting an online business to get your family on board with what you are creating:

Explain Your Plans and Why You’re Doing It

The first step is to sit down with your family and explain your plan and why you are doing it. Your ‘Why?’ most likely includes them, so allow them to dream and create alongside you, at least in a small way. Be sure to emphasize that this is something you’re passionate about and that you believe in your business idea.
