Should I stop my business because of my family?

[Anonymous]

So I'm starting a business a small one. I got my LLC and ein, business bank account and I recently got approved for a grant. I'm ready I told some family and they don't think I should do it. Some are fine with it but the few that disagree really bummed me out. Especially the ones I thought would be approving of. They don't believe in me, and some of the family talked down on me in the past. I don't want to stop but sometimes people can discourage you.

That's why you keep it to yourself and let the business do the talking. You have to believe in yourself. So if you are truly wanting to then do it and prove them wrong. Even it's family those are the worse because they are the most judgmental even if they mean well. So keep it to yourself

Thanks, I still want to do it, but it's a business that'll actually generate money for me. I don't know I guess I just felt a bit bummed.

Of course coming from family. You would expect that they will encourage you or be more supportive. So do what makes you happy and if it's something you enjoy then you will do good

As one who is self-employed, there are going to be more negative than positive coming your way. Get use to it... but once it takes off, you should get use to those same roaches coming out wanting something. Strong-willed with a kind gentleness usually avoided lots of other people's crap. Good luck !!
