Wait for her to bring it up.Don’t focus only on sacrifices and future payoffs.Highlight near-term benefits, not just “someday we’ll be rich.”Don’t force or bribe her to attend meetups.Invite her but dont push itDon’t try to teach them to analyze deals.Focus on what excites themFYI I had to deploy before my wife got on board.
