Being an entrepreneur can require you to function at a higher level than most people around you. You have to deal with stuff that most people do not.
On a daily basis you have to learn to manage your emotions more than the general population. Sometimes the people closest to you don’t make this easy.
It’s one thing when others on the outside of your intimate circle doubt you. But it’s a whole different world when your spouse or family is doubting you. Complaining about your “lack of progress”.
It can get hard. Sometimes your income may not reflect the efforts, the sacrifice, and the hard work you do to make a living. And it only makes those closest to you scream even louder.
If you’re not careful you may fall into the trap of getting stuck in a cycle where you’re now focused on their doubts, their insecurities about you, what they might do, who they might run off with, If they’re gonna run away with your child. All these things will start to stack up in your mind.

You can always move yourself forward despite any situation
As an entrepreneur, you have to be a mature leading person
This means that even though your spouse or family has disrespected you while you’re trying to provide for them, you still have an obligation to help them move out of their negative thought patterns.
This takes a high level of maturity and a high level of mental strength. Do not take the statement lightly, it does require you to be very strong.
Most people say they can handle stress but it’s a whole Nother story when you are stuck with someone for multiple years and this person has just constantly said things that can make you feel like shit. I’ve been through this several times. I think this has allowed me to become mentally strong. I know you may be completely new to the situation so I want you to absorb what I’m saying.
It takes a lot more mental strength to forgive, bless those who are trying to curse you. This is a skill set that if you develop no one can hurt you.
