My dad had always been against entrepreneurship and advised me to get a 9-5 job as long as I can remember. I don’t really have any friends I actively hang out with.

As long as they are not the clients or customers there isn't a problem. Point being this "my family isn't supportive" is useless.

They can no more 'support' you at this or that venture than they can understand and fill in for you at a regular job. They don't understand what you're doing.

It's the wrong word to use of course, but get the 'support' of customers. Then you will find most friends and family are going to support the shit out of you. You'll have to pry some of them off your wallet with a stick.

People are always posting their problems doing business with friends, family. Support isn't quite the same thing, I think keeping them at arm's length still works as sound advice. If you need a friend in business, just get a pet. They'll shit on you less.
