Questions To Ask When Close Friends And Family Don’t Support Your Business.

--:--
Leroy tau, businessman, author and relationship coach talks about When you’re in the throws of being soooo excited about your shiny new business and the new life you’re creating for yourself it’s easy to assume that your friends and loved ones will be super happy for you and super supportive.  

But what if they’re not?



Sometimes the reality can be very different.  

In fact, a lot of the time it’s different, it’s a really common issue for people and it can really start to hold you back.  It can make you feel ‘wrong’ in some way and question what you’re doing.

THEY JUST DON’T SEEM BOTHERED?!

You’ll want to talk to your closest friends about your new venture but they seem completely disinterested in it…but also very frustrated when you don’t have time to meet them, or you have a deadline to hit and you have to get it done at the weekend and they just don’t ‘get it when you can’t come out to play’. It can feel REALLY disheartening.

We expect our closest people to be our biggest supporters so it’s unsurprising that it feels really rubbish when that doesn’t happen.
