Your family probably don't understand the concept of what you were trying to do therefore don't regard it as real work.

Although to be honest, it doesn't seem that you were actually working. Were you providing a service in a viable industry, or were you chasing some bullshit concept, while using the title entrepreneur to justify being unemployed?

A true entrepreneur would work at least part time before the idea gets off the ground. Also, surely if you are an entrepreneur you have other ideas in the can to pursue?

IMO your family have a right to be critical - you are 35 after all
