My husband works in IT, so he is my technical support. I have also asked him to help me with some web design – but only after taking him on a couple of company incentive trips! I have not offered payment directly to him for this service (and I know I am fortunate to have him). I think any home based direct sales business needs to be a family effort. Your husband needs to understand that the work you are doing is for the good of the whole family and you need everyone on board to make it work – including the kids. They can help out as well with small, age-appropriate tasks. If you truly run your business as a business (and not as a hobby), then your husband will take this seriously and support you. When you start to pay bills for the family with the income you earn, he will start to see this as an opportunity for the family to reach dreams that might not be possible just with his income. The potential for income in direct sales is endless and a very powerful thing.
