How should I respond? (alien.top)

This Christmas I’ll be visiting family members for a large get-together. I haven’t seen most of them for a very long time. I have little doubt that at least someone is going to ask me what I’m doing with my life - what I do for work/for a living.

Recently I just started my own business (with some seed capital). I know what these family members think about people who start new small businesses and entrepreneurship.

They will be negative and cynical, and roll their eyes and maybe even laugh when I tell them I have just launched and started to run my own business.

If I do indeed get negative and cynical/anti-business responses that are hostile to entrepreneurship and if I am laughed at , what can I say?

Or maybe how can I even say that I have started a business in a way that won’t get me some eye rolls and replies like “come on, dreamer, you need to get a job.” ?
