Who's the breadwinner in family business?

Dear Robert
Since my husband and I both run our restaurant and I am the chef, whose reading should we follow?? I know you have advised that we should follow the breadwinner's reading but in our case who is the breadwinner?

Dear Carol,
This is a good question which I hope the following can help all users as well.
1. For Breadwinner in office you can take the following:-
Usually it is the most important or highest position/decision maker in the company. Or if it is a smaller business, than the person that is essential for the business to carry on.
It is also the person who is often at the helm of the business that is considered the breadwinner. This means that if the business has a shareholder but the shareholder does not help out directly in the business front, than that person is not considered a breadwinner.
If there are several heads, you can always do additional Eight House Report to help access, but you still have to based it more towards the Key or most important person.
2. For Breadwinner in home you can take the following:-
In your case who provides more say house allowance or money towards the the home (eg. purchasing food, household equipment, children, etc).
The person earns more and who contributes most to the home is considered the breadwinner.
Hope that helps.
Warmest Regards
Robert Lee
