Hi I am a guy who like to try stuff in life and in business to. The thing is couple years ago I got into a business with my friends and we started working together and I told my mom I was in a business. But 2 weeks after she started 2 get involved and not let me be in a business and started telling me that the people that I'm doing business with are wrong people without knowing them. She got my aunt also to jump in and try to ruin my things, my confidence and my relationship with my business partners. So it kind of got mess up. So we kind of let it go. One year past and me and my friends and also business partners started talking about starting our own business. But then again my mom jump in and try 2 ruin everything and also try to let me think that my friends are drug dealers and they on the streets to do drugs and to turn againts the them even though I know that they are not drug dealers and we all wanted to run a business together. She even got my aunt in this so they could insult all my friends and get to theirs heads so they could turn their back on me. And the frustrating thing is they partially succeed in doing this and they were preet exthatic and glad about it cause my friends were mad against me for a certain amount of time and didn't want to speak to me. Now we speak a little but I don't do business with them cause my mom could enter and trash everything. Because I'm the only loser in this, my friends continue the biz without me N I'm left confuse and my mom do not care cause I'm not doing a bizz and she want me to make her dream happen go to school find a job and that it nothing else and it kind of get my confidence low cause I know I could do anyting in life but my relative try submit me that I'm stupid to think that doing a business is smart. So my question is what could I do to fix this problem and should I follow my will and could we get back in doing business together or it's a wrong thing to do?

I notice you don't say what business or how it was setup. Reading between the lines, you sound like a very young person. So I suspect there is much more to this then you are letting on.

But the bottom line is you either need to break off from your relatives, at least until you get a business off the ground and show them you can do it or you need to enter into a business with much more preparation. Do a business plan get everything lined up and show your family you mean business (pun intended).
