It sucks so bad when its your nearest & dearest who discourage you with your entrepreneurial journey

It really is soul-sucking, depressing, demotivating kind of necessary evil that you have to live with.
The way Im learning to see it is its building my resilience..Entrepreneurship bootcamp right at home, right in my face, right under my nose.

I musn't complain. If you can't live with it & rise above it, then you're not entrepreneur material.Hah, easier said than done!

Actually, it's one of the reasons why this community and biography books are so helpful. Do he/her know what is fastlane? Last MJ yt video explains some things in few minutes. What helped me in a similar situation was working so hard that I hadn't time to think about it.

BRITISH & FAR EAST TRADERS

absolutely

the first thing i learned in the journey is that being in charge is a nightmare compared to being an employee.

either we grow or we are destroyed

This is extremely common, you are not alone! Really no one supported me when I was starting out. It went against everything they were spoon fed growing up. Get good grades, go to college, get a job etc... At first I was not making any money which is pretty common, so this caused even more lack of support. People telling me they found me a cool job I should apply for "trying to help". I didn't let it bother me, I knew I could do it. I now make more than any of those people easily and have an extremely flexible schedule. While they slave away at their job making someone else money I wake up in the morning and decide what I want to do.

I also read an interesting point somewhere, it might have been here, the guy said that a lot of people won't support you because if they support you and you fail they feel slightly responsible for it. If they tell you it's a bad idea and to go the "safe" route they think they are helping you out, there is no risk. Kind of an interesting way to look at it.

Like the poster above said, that's why its great there are online communities (such as this) where people can support/motivate each other. We have a different mindset than most people. Just keep on moving forward OP!
