"Seeking support from friends and family is like having your people gathered around at your deathbed. It's nice, but when the ship sails, all they can do is stand on the dock waving goodbye."
-Steven Pressfield-
Sure, it's nice to have backing and encouragement, but it's not necessary to create good art. Appreciate your fan club if you have one in your corner, but, if you don't, know that only one person is responsible for getting the hard work done: you.
If the friends and family haven't aligned with your vision, get started without them. Maybe they'll step onto the dock, maybe they won't: the ship should depart, anyway.
Be Brilliant!
