It's hard to change their view on Entrepreneurship, especially if they are from a different generation. My family for example took well that I left my job to start a company, but it is a huge tabu in their house to talk about my sexuality (gay).

What I'm tryinig to say is that they do not accept some parts of me (like being gay), but you would never say that being gay is objetively something bad or something be ashamed of.
With entrepreneurship is the same.

On top of that, my first company failed after 3 years. But I learned 10x more than I would've learned in a regular job. In fact, in my new job I'm paid like 3x more than what I was being paid before I started my failed company. A failed business is the best MBA you can take.
