Do you get support from those close to you?

1. Do they give you the support that you think you deserve or any support at all?

2. Also how do you go about balancing and dividing your time between work, school, your spouces or family?

1) Yes I am fortunate with great friends and family that have supported me in all aspects of my life. I also give a lot of support back to them, whether if it's time or financially.

2) My main job is full time so it's a set schedule haha. Fortunately while in the office I can afford the time to work on my side projects (like editing videos and photos). It's also when I'm active on these forums, connecting with friends online and chatting with them as well. I see my parents every Friday for dinner and my extended family always has lunch together on Sundays. So having set time helps. For my IRL friends we meet whenever free, so that's mostly after work for dinner or coffee.

It's all about making time and setting priorities. Yes I would love to pump out more than one video a week and would love to shoot in exotic locations with actors and etc... but there's not enough time in the day. For me, my time is always prioritized:
Family, Friends, Work then Hobbies. So Youtube is at the bottom of the list right now. I love my channel and making videos, but I wouldn't jeopardize my family, friends and career for it.

I get some support from close friends, but as far as family, I don't really get much (if anything) from them since they aren't really into the whole YouTube thing.. Pretty much I'm on my own for the most part...

Its understandable to not get much support from family on youtube since they have very little understanding on how the youtube world really is.
