How to Make Your Parents Say "Yes" to Your Startup


4. Intimate the details of your plan

Nothing helps convincing your parents more than giving a descriptive layout of your business plans and plan Bs of your startup. “I wouldn’t have been able to launch this business without the help of my parents. They have supported the idea financially and emotionally from its inception. Garnering their support required clearly outlining the business plan to them as if they weren’t parents, but investors. I also keep them apprised weekly of headway being made with clients,” says Eric Dresdale, President of Next Step Network.
