re: Successful business owners, did the people around you support your endeavors?

When my first business attempt failed my dad, who had the same job for like 20 years at that point, told me to give up and get a steady job.
Later on, he was my biggest cheerleader but he never understood my desire to own a business. He grew up poor and believed in the stability of a steady job. He never took any risks but always made sure we had everything we needed.
I got my ambition from my mom's side which is full of business owners.

Kind of the same for me, except no one in my or my wife’s family had ever owned a business and everyone has the steady job mentality. I’ve been lucky in the fact that my wife has a well paying job that has allowed me to take these risks.
