Raise your hand if your family thinks you’ve joined a cult because you won’t stop talking about your business.

Raise your hand if your loved ones give you concerned side-eye whenever you bring up your business 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ They don’t get the passion, the lingo, the late nights… To them, it might sound like you’ve been indoctrinated.

It’s understandable they don’t fully grasp the excitement of the entrepreneurial grind.

Let’s face it, we can get a little…obsessed with our businesses.

Do This, Instead:

• Set boundaries: Create designated no-business-talk times, especially during family gatherings.
• Simplify your explanations: Avoid jargon; focus on the bigger why behind your business.
• Share your wins: Celebrate milestones with them to help them understand the journey.
• Offer them a peek behind the curtain: Let them see a glimpse of your workspace or what you do to bring their understanding.

How do you handle well-meaning family members who think your business obsession is weird?
