How do you react to lack of support from your family and friends in your business?

[Min George]

One of the rudest shocks we get to face in business is that our family and friends might not even support us. How do you forge ahead with a situation where you start a business and you don't have the support of your family and friends?

Not getting support from your friends and family can be painful but in situations like this i just ignore them and focus on trying to prove them wrong.

I started my business without the knowledge of my family. I don't like negative reactions from them just in case. They only knew when I already started my business in the mall. Fortunately they support me and that matters most. The eyes and ears of my friends cannot believe that I already have a business in the mall.

Sometimes, our family members don't see the vision that we see in our business ideas to support us. We just need to succeed with them to prove to them. And they would come around to support us.

The idea of getting support when you embark on a business is expecting too much nowadays. We have to walk our life alone even though we are living in a family.

The truth is that even your family doesn't owe you support when you start your business. Expecting that might easily lead to entitlement.

When your family and friends do not support you, it can be sad, that is for sure. However, we cannot please everyone. The truth is, strangers are often the ones who will support you.

For me l am not supposed to force anyone to patronize on my business simple because everyone has their right to associate with anyone on the business sector.

Your friends and family may not be your ideal customers, and their lack of interest doesn't reflect on the value of your business.
