Back to Basics - What is this blog anyway?
May 21, 2008 by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein
Last week I was in Las Vegas for my Mastermind Meeting (through Alexandria Brown) — a transformational time both personally and for my business (oh, and I also did a bit of partying, ask me about the pole dancing story …).
But as I was reflecting on my business strategy, I got to thinking about this blog. Chronicles of a Mompreneur was originally designed as a sort-of-personal blog, sharing my adventures as a mom business owner. But somewhere along the way I stopped posting about my personal adventure, and just wrote articles and tips about internet marketing and business strategy.
While all those tips and advice are important (and I plan to keep providing tons of content), the real purpose and message of this blog got lost along the way. So starting today I’ll be posting more about the behind-the-scenes of my life & business, rather than just link-bait articles. 
Here’s my first Chronicles of a Mompreneur question for you — are any of your spouses jealous of your work-at-home lifestyle?
My husband was self-employed back in the day, and now is a fancy partner at a big law firm. As he goes off for work, I know he misses being at home with our daughter and the flexible lifestyle I am blessed to enjoy — and, how I follow my passion (instead of working for the Man). Anyone else have this issue?

Next time you’re in Vegas let me know!
My boyfriend who lives with me is going from working at home to hunting for another job. He’s miserable, thinking of the daily grind! Not being home working together is definitely causing him to drag his feet on the job search!
I can only imagine this would be much, much worse if he we had kids!
I struggle with something that creeps a little deeper than that. My husband is a self-confirmed passive-aggressive manipulator at times. HE struggles DAILY with the trying to fight off ways to “get even” with people - including his own family.
There are times when I truly feel that not only is he jealous, but actually TRYING to sabotage what I’m working on. I really don’t think most of the time that it’s even on a conscious level. He’ll come back days later and apologize, and try to correct his wrongs - he’s been praying and working hard to change his ways.
Things are improving little by little here, but it’s been a challenge to grow a business for the last 3 years with his duplicity. He’d say one thing and do another, and eventually it took outside intervention to fix the problem.
May you NEVER have to endure it!
