True. However the life of an entrepreneur, at least in the beginning, are very busy, and can occupy the mind enough to keep you away from most relationships.
Though it may depend on what kind of personal relationships you're seeking. I personally am in contact with various people. I hardly constantly talk to people, but I consider most of them my friends, since we're overall friendly together.
How about befriending businessmen/women?
I befriended an entrepreneur. It's not like we meet every weekend for beer or bowling, and we hardly talk. but I gave him advice and he expressed willingness to hire me if he can successfully come up with his technological innovations.
