Good article! Having a good support team really makes a difference. (I can relate to the family care drain, and realizing we ARE just human.)

“Accept that most people won’t understand what you do.”

Ha! I've been trying to explain to my 91 year old grandfather for almost a year now what it is that I do! Forget about it!

But seriously, that is one of the most insightful tips I've read in a long time. It's taken me awhile to deal with the fact that because my businesses are completely virtual, and I work from a home office, that doesn't mean that I play on the computer all day or am always available for favors and fun!

I've recently been getting "feedback" from my father about my coaching practice, now that I've moved into coaching full-time (and have left my well-paying day job behind). Like any concerned father I suppose, he's been dropping some subtle (and not so subtle) hints about going back to my lucrative job. Who cares whether I'm happy? I should just suck it up and make a lot of money... Needless to say, I've finally told him to cool it. Starting any small business is incredibly challenging. We already have those doubts in the back of our minds most of the time. Who needs those closest to us reminding us of them all the time, right?
