You need to be a little crazy?Family Business

Q: What should every entrepreneur know about how entrepreneurship will affect his/her family? What advise would you offer to the spouse of an entrepreneur?
A: Regardless of what we think, running a business involves your entire family and their support is key to your success. Running a business is like driving a car around mountain road banging into the guard rails. Guess what? Your spouse is in the back seat turn around and blind folded (knowing less where you are going then you do). Your business sleeps in bed with you every night! Entrepreneurship is tough on spouses and families. But if you can share the good and bad times with them, they will carry you far!
Many people believe that we need to separate out our personal and business lives. With all the tools available today, I think this is impossible. We need to learn to integrate them together with some safe havens in our lives where we do not do business at all.
