All relationships are unique so this is a challenging question! The best I can do is speak from personal experience in that my spouse was not that supportive when I started my business many years ago. Here's what worked for me:
1) We discussed me being able to devote a set amount of time to the business.
2) We discussed me being able to invest a certain amount of money into the business.
3) I then made a decision to convince my spouse with "results" as she's something of a visual person
4) I made inquires into what I would need to focus on to produce "results" which for me turned out to be lead generation.
5) I took massive action, used leverage and was profitable in a few months. She was now 50% convinced!
6) As my successes and income increased I shared them with my spouse with lots of excitement. She became 75% convinced!
7) One day I announced that my spouse could quit her job and be an at-home Mom if she desired. She was now 100% convinced!
I would say that at first all we have are words, but if we focus on massive action we can then allow the results to do the convincing.
