The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur’s Wife guides entrepreneurial couples to permanently exit the “norm” and thrive in their new entrepreneurial lifestyle. When people talk about entrepreneurs, they always talk about the entrepreneur’s journey and their climb to the top with all of the pits and peaks that create their hero’s journey. But they rarely speak about the entrepreneur’s family and their efforts and struggles on the road to success. There is a false belief that says being with an entrepreneur is highly desirable and that being the wife of a business owner is glamorous and exciting. Sure, it has its perks. But the truth is, entrepreneurs’ wives are sometimes forced into a life of singularity and loneliness, and they are in need of a roadmap to navigate the unique hurdles that come along with that life. In The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur’s Wife, coach Amy Stefanik shows her perspective that being an entrepreneur’s wife is not all doom and gloom to entrepreneurial couples. Entrepreneurial families learn how to harness the Unmistakable Entrepreneur Mindset to lay the "Fort Knox" Entrepreneurial Family Foundation and build an Unshakable Entrepreneurial Marriage. The most valuable lessons are not discovered on the highest mountain peaks, in the good and easy times, but in the valleys. Amy shares her tools with entrepreneurial families for when they find themselves in the valley and helps them transform “married to the business” to “the secret weapon” to becoming an unstoppable entrepreneurial power couple!
