My husband plays the role of support system & cheerleader. He takes care of the kids & whatever else needs to be done when I am working my business. Of course he also does that when I'm not working the business. It's just his nature. He encourages me, gives me different ideas & listens to me. Celebrates with me & picks me up when I need it.

My husband plays the role of..."how much did you get paid this month?"

But really he helps out sometimes.

My husband is amazing- he does so many things for me from helping to put hostess packets together, entering orders, setting up and working vendor events with me, driving with me to long distance parties, mailing stuff and more!

He also checks my numbers almost daily (lol) and helps me stay on top of who might promote, new chocolatiers etc.

He is super supportive and very involved!!!!!

My husband sounds a lot like yours!! He will even help me put my paperwork in order but I have to tell him exactly what to do. At least with stamping/stickering catalogs is an easy task. :)

My boyfriend has been so supportive and patient through all my changes and challenges in the past and now. He even participated in shows with me. He's handed out catalogs and has taken orders and delivered products. He's helped clean and organize my kits/ our house/ and presentations! Boy, I'm spoiled, What a guy! It makes me love him so much more! :)

My husband has always been a supporter and very helpful (especially when our kids were small) through the years but quite honestly as I don't know the "day to day" operations with his job, he doesn't really know mine either.

He respects my career choice and has grown to love the company and the people I work with deeply so what more could I ask for?

Oh yea and bringing home a nice paycheck every month hasn't hurt either! ;-)

My husband is also my cheerleader as someone else pointed out...as I go out the door to do parties he has this little song/chant he does for me "book...sell....recruit"...he repeats it over and over! he offers to load the car for me....listens to me talk about my biz and offers ideas/encouragement....He is a great blessing to me. I think he would do just about anything for me...maybe I need to get him stamping catalogs!

My hubs is my big supporter. He helps in many ways by spreading the word, delivering orders for me & best of all.... he is my post master! He makes all the trips to the post office for me to mail my info packets out every other day or so! I hate the post office :)

My husband is also very supportive. He too makes trips to the post office for me since he works a mile away from our main Nashville branch. He never complains about having to watch the kids while I do parties or anything business related for that matter. Those of us who have supportive husbands are so fortunate because I'm learning that a lot of them out there are not. In fact, I would say that husbands are my number one obstacle to recruiting. I've run into several women lately who are extremely interested in the biz until they talk to their husbands about it and get shot down by their negativity towards direct sales or just business in general. It never even crossed my mind when I decided to sign up that my husband would not support me. It often blows my mind how many unsupportive husbands there are out there. We should all express gratitude to our husbands and be thankful they are not like some of the ones I've run into lately.

oh that is so true! we should let them know how thankful we are for them....I know several ladies with that same situation, their hubby/significant other is the negative influence in their life!

Hubby is 100% supportive in my business and has been for 20 years. He handles my tax filings and records and will do my pkging and shipping for me.
