I have learned something over the past 30 plus years of having numerous side ventures and that is this: most of the people around you, your friends and family and co-workers, are not bad people, however if you start to show signs of escaping the rat race and doing something you love they suddenly seem to be black hatted villains out to destroy you. It's not really the case though. When others see you starting to make the move to a life of doing what you are meant to do, if they are not happy in their present lot they don't want you to be either!
Trust me this is not intentional, they are not at home plotting to see you miserable. It is very much the work of the deep subconscious that is afraid of losing you and having one less person to commiserate with. They are not really evil, just human.
That's why you need to recognise this at the start so you do not let yourself become infected by the negative rants they will roll your way, and as well so you understand it is not personal in most cases, they let that old lizard brain kick in and it wants your misery for company.
I guess the bottom line is be cautious who you tell your plans to in the early stages so they have a chance to grow and be strong enough to defend themselves until you are off the ground.
