Starting a business with your family on board is harder than it looks. Here's how my wife and I are working through it.
This week, I'm stepping back from the shop to talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough: getting your spouse or partner aligned on money before you start a maker business. I walk through where my wife and I land differently on finances, why I'm treating a charcuterie board idea as a trial run instead of a main product, and how I'm thinking through local craft fairs versus online selling. I also get honest about the timeline for actually making money.
