41. “My wife won’t admit her business is failing and we constantly argue about it”
Olivia and Rob get into fights over their household income. Olivia’s business isn’t bringing in enough money for them to both live the lifestyle they want. Olivia wants to stop working part-time so that she can focus on the business 100%, but Rob thinks it’s time Olivia gives up and gets another job.

Show Notes
It’s common knowledge that building a business takes time—but how long should you be willing to wait? Rob works a full-time job. Olivia is split between part-time work and her own business.
Rob doesn’t think her business is making enough money and has been urging Olivia to call it a loss and get a “real job.” He thinks her entrepreneurial dreams are holding them back from making their current reality more comfortable.
What they’re doing isn’t working. Whether Olivia doubles down on the business or takes on a regular job, one thing is certain: in order to live their Rich Life, something has to change.
