What should I do if the people in my business or network are negative about what I'm doing?

You need to audit all negative inputs and find ways to separate yourself from those people. It’s critical to surround yourself with other artists and photographers who are above your level and have proven sales success. These people can help you make better decisions, encourage you, and most importantly, ensure you’re not following nonsense advice. If your current circle is bringing negativity or wrong information, you need to distance yourself from those influences in whatever way possible and seek out higher-quality mentors and peers who are actually succeeding in the art business.
