Start A Home-Based Business Successfully With Your Spouse
To start a home-based business with your spouse, you will need to plan ahead on how you will work together. Here are 5 tips to help you.
1. Be very careful about not being willing to take criticism. While we tend to resent criticism more from a spouse or loved one it is a necessary element to running a business. However, you should encourage your spouse to reserve any business related criticism for the specific times that you have set to actually work on your business.
2. When you start a home-based business, you must keep business issues separate from marriage and family issues. This is absolutely vital if you want to build a successful business and a successful marriage. There is no question that you will have different opinions. The key is to be careful how you express these differences so that there is no negative impact on your marriage as a result. When it comes down to family or marriage related issues you should talk about those during family time and not bring them up in business conversations.
3. Look for opportunities where you can get outside of your home office to strategize for your business. Doing this on a quarterly basis is an excellent habit for building a successful business. There are plenty of events that you can schedule for this, such as a dinner meeting, getting together at a nice and quiet bar or coffee shop or even going to a winery.
4. Make sure you have at least one date night where business is not discussed. This is difficult especially if you enjoy what you do. Select a non-business activity that you both enjoy. Spend that time with your spouse and enjoy it.
5. Attend a business conference together as a couple. Look to spend some time after the conference to discuss what you learned and how you can apply it to the business. What this does is gives you the prospective of two people and it also allow you to be more focused on getting the information from the conference.
As you start a home based business with your spouse, it can be a major life change, so it is important that you recognize this and plan for it accordingly so that there is no interference with your marriage and family.

I'm helping start up a Business Coaching and Consulting company here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (a Subsidiary of RSC Business in Los Angeles).
As a Research and Development Intern I am required to practice my listening and interview skills by surveying Small and Medium Businesses on thier Business.
This Survey is designed by RSC Business to also assist the Business being interviewed more insight into their own business.
I am looking to interview about 30 businesses across North America over the span of 3 months.
At the end of these interviews I will be publishing a report of the results and they will be made available for free to the Interviewees. The Report data will include responses from a minimum of 100 interviews.
I would like to extend this opportunity to members of the Forum.
If you would like to have this short 20-30 minute interview conducted on your Business and you reside in North America please send me an email or PM.
Please contact me at andy[at]jvprosperity[dot]com to arrange our interview and to get free access to the results when they are published.
Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!

I will suggest you to take online services which will spread your business all over web network. Online marketing is the best way to market any business.[/quote:428owzbi]
B2B = Business to Business - You are marketing to other businesses.
B2C = Business to Consumer - You are marketing to consumers.
