[quote=Anonymous]OP, I started a business and agree with a pp who also has - don’t tell anyone until your business is established and even then, best to limit information or just be low-key (“things are going well thanks!  We’re still working out a few things but it’s moving along, I need a break from work tho - how are you?”). I received a range of reactions including some rude/dismissive ones from fairly close friends which was a bit disappointing but not surprising. People can be insecure or jealous for whatever reason. Frankly you need to be prepared for more of that - or really, just keep this venture to yourself as long as possible. People’s reactions will just distract you and you don’t have time for that. Just smile, keep your blinders on, and keep moving forward. Mentally, Keep your business separate from your friendships. As to this friend, I’d just accept her apology and move on (however you wish) but definitely stop talking about the business as it’s a time suck topic you don’t need[/quote]
