Building A Website For Your Wife
I often wonder how a married couple can be in business together. I'm
sure that it happens all the time these days, as 2 incomes are required
for getting by. How does this apply to an online business? My wife is
great at selling handbags to her friends, but not so good at website
building. I'm learning how to build a websiter, and doing ok, while
totally lacking any talent in regards to fashion; either the sales or
even recognition of. Theres the magic. Sometimes I'll put an object up
for sale that I believe to be "fashionable," and she will promptly
shoot it down. Once in a great while I'll manage to pick a winner.
Either way, we're doing more than building a business, we're building a
life together and a better income doing something we both enjoy.
To me it's like guys who enjoy hunting. Instead of coming home
with a deer strapped to the hood of my car I launch a new product line
on our websites. An artist looks at a block of stone and sees statue of
a horse. He then removes everything from that block of stone that does
not look like a horse. Simple, right? Yes, but it is not easy. I could
hold a chisel in my hand and convince rock chips that they can fly, but
Picasso would not even be able to discern even a semblance of anything
of this earth, much less a recognizeable figure. Clearly I am not an
artist in that sense.
My wife, however, does believe in my writing and website building
ability. Her inspirational gestures and outright proddings convince me
to carry on, inspite of what at times appears to be overwheming odds
against me. Spending what little capital we have on a dream causes
waves of uncertainty to wash over me. Incredible spasms, enough to
bring down a water buffalo, ravage my brain, resulting in newfound
levels of pain and depression. Clearly not for the faint of heart, and
clearly not for those prone to withdraw.
Chicago once asked the question, "Does anybody really know what
time it is?," while I ask the question, "What'cha need?" As I mentioned
before my wife has a great knack for choosing fashion that people
actually like, and she is excited about having her own business, as am
I. She loves to "shop," while I know what I need, find it as quick as I
can, and leave the store. But we are a partnership. Partners must look
out for one another if their joint venture is to endure. (umm, right,
snookums?)
