Do's and Don'ts:

Don't ignore the financial impact.

Do your homework and find out the comparable revenue numbers from others in your industry/function.

Do have a well-thought-out plan to tide you over financially for a few months in case the money doesn't come in right away.

Say This:

Honey, I've been working hard for a long time, but I've always felt an entrepreneurial spirit that hasn't been fulfilled. I'd really like to try starting my own business and I've done a good deal of research on the subject. Can we sit down and I can show you some of the facts and figures? This is a step that will affect our everyday life and I take that responsibility seriously.
