Negative comments

I do not understand why some people have a hard time NOT being negative??? We decided to start our own company and I have heard "why" too many times. I say "why not". Are other people jealous of our attempts to do something other than the average 9 - 5 grind? The only difference between us and them is we took the first step (not sure where the journey will end or how long it will take to get there, but at least we climbed aboard the bus). Perhaps its fear...people don't try because they are afraid of failure. Fheryl Fashions fears nothing (except snakes...I am afraid of snakes).
