The real entrepreneurial love language isn’t flowers or chocolates. It’s a partner who doesn’t side-eye you when you say, “Babe, I think I’m gonna launch another offer.”
(It’s also that heart-shaped nugget box from Chick-Fil-A. That works on everyone.)
Because building a business isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s wild, messy, and at times, financially questionable.
And if you’re doing it alongside someone who doesn’t get it? Yikes. That’s a love story with a tragic ending.

So today, we’re toasting to the ride-or-dies, the hype squads, and the ones who pick up dinner when you’re knee-deep in launch mode. Whether it’s a romantic partner, your bestie or both - we couldn’t do any of this without them.
The ones who:
Don’t freak out when you say, “I’m reinvesting in the business” (again)
Remind you that your worth isn’t tied to your last sale (she ghosted)
Know when to pull you out of work mode and force you to be a human (but still get you home by 9)
A few real-life power couples who are doing it right?
Sara Blakely & Jesse Itzler – Jesse stays hyping up Sara’s brilliance like it’s his full-time job. All while he’s putting in the hours for his own multi-million dollar ventures.

Reid Hoffman & Michelle Yee – The LinkedIn founder credits Michelle for keeping him grounded while he built an empire.

Oprah & Stedman – The ultimate support system, letting Oprah be Oprah without ego. I actually didn’t know his name till right now which makes me like him even more somehow?

Single and annoyed that I’m insinuating that everyone needs a spouse? Couldn’t be further from the truth.
Being single is a power move, too.
Because the real ones know that the wrong partner is way more dangerous than having no partner at all.
A woman chasing her dreams doesn’t need a human guilt trip every time they check their email at dinner. And Lord knows we are too tired to spend one more second explaining why our business is a “real job.”
So whether you’re raising a glass to your supportive partner or your gloriously independent, unbothered self, know this: You don’t need romantic love to be successful. But you do need support—whether it comes from a partner, a friend, or your fellow Salesgirls.
Now go forth and celebrate this Valentine’s Day however you want.
To building businesses and relationships that actually work…
Xo, The Salesgirls
