Sounds like you are on the right track with asking your wife. It is amazing how much a woman knows just with a little intuition.

Every time I start a new venture, I make it a point to ask my wife what she thinks about it. There are so many deals gone wrong, I would have avoided if only I trusted my wife’s discernment. (not logical or analytical point of view)

I think one of the keys is to design your business in a way that it will operate or perform optimum with minimum supervision or while still keeping the more valuable “family time”.

Thanks for this post Craig. People should write more of these.

“I believe there is a broken correlation between those who are highly successful in small business and those who have fantastic families.”

WOW, I think this helps to explain why successful people, esp those in the public eye, often have dysfunctional family situations, complete with divorces and estrangement from family members. If you’re 100% committed to success, something has to give, and it’s often family. The 50% divorce rate is a sad testiment to this.

The exit plan is also a good idea, not all business ventures make it and we have to know when to switch gears. I’m of the opinion that just having an exit plan can enhance the chances of a business succeeding because the owner doesn’t have a sense of being trapped by the venture. We should never box ourselves into a corner we can’t get out of, no matter how much we believe in the idea. Real life just doesn’t always cooperate with our plans!
