How Many Of Your Friends Are Truly Supportive Of Your Money Earning Ideas?

I'm asking this question because it seems to me that many Mylotters who post discussions in "Making Extra Money ", are really on their own when it comes to their efforts at creating an income for themselves...
When I started out 7 years ago, I was absolutely on my own and it's been very hard to change my habits. I really am a very friendly person, but when it comes to business, that good old Solitary Nature of mine kicks in and temporarily places a distance between me and other folks until, I get the job done.
Back in the early days, there were so many people that simply believed that this "Internet Thing " was all just a fad, and that if regular folks thought they could earn a living online, well, they were just plain crazy!
Thankfully, there were some people who never listened to their friends, and even family members, who said that "It would never work.. " and even told them to "Get a REAL job!" :)
At this point, I must smile because, as most of you have found out by now, making good money online takes a hell on a lot of "Work " even if it doesn't seem that way to others.
Mainly, most of my closest friends know better than to try and interfere with my business efforts, especially if they don't have any better ideas to offer me.
Those of my friends who have the Love and Understanding to "Let Me Be..", always are rewarded when I am successful, and those who are clumsy enough to behave otherwise, become "Dragon Bait "... LOL! :)
So, Mylot family, how are your friends treating you in "The Age Of The Entrepreneur"?
Are they smart and resourceful, or thoughtless and cruel?
Do they try to help you pull it all together, or do they try to tear your dreams apart?
Are you alone in your efforts by choice, or by chance?
As a reward for your responses, I will provide each of your with a free subscription to the very excellent and resourceful Website Magazine. Those of you who live in the USA and Canada will recieve the printed version delivered to your door, and those of you who are International members will recieve the online version. The link to Website Magazine is on my profile. :)

I am afraid to say not very supportive at all.
My husband is always scoffing at my ideas and mumbles things like
Here she goes "scheming" again trying to make money, then rolls his eyes.
Some of my family thinks that I am just "wasting my time" with the computer.
Well, won't they all be surprised if I hit on something, someday?
I will be pretty surprised myself! I have to admit that for all my efforts
most of my ideas did not pan out and I have been trying to wean myself away
from the computer more and more.
Nice topic, btw :)

You are not alone. I am experiencing the same here. The difference is that you are getting it from your family & i am getting it from my friends.
Welcome to the group.

I will always believe that there is a way to be successful for anyone who is willing to try, Saigonwarrior! :)
Most folks who are lacking positive support from their friends sometimes become so tired that they begin to lose their drive...
As someone who knows all about this, I will not let that happen to anyone if I can help it! :)

I find that it's far easier to allow your friend to actually see how it's done for themselves...
There are many video resources, such as E-How:

That can show you how to do almost anything online or anywhere else! :)

My husband, my most important friend, believes that I can do it. I just need to put the effort in, and believe that we can do it. Most other people just think that I have some little interesting hobby. Now, I am not making anything like an income, yet, but as I find things that work, I will be. My chief problem right now is that my elderly cat thinks he has to lay on my shoulder while I type.

The cat just wants a "Piece Of The Action" when you make it big, GG! :)
It is excellent to hear that you have a partner to help you provide an environment for success and growth! :)

In your case there's a definite indication that you are headed on a very good and positive course, and I congratulate you in advance! :)
