 Re: having thoughts on throwing in the towel
Perhaps he is down b/c he is surrounded by alot of negative people. That's the good thing about this forum b/c others will give you the encourgement you need. I'm almost 40 (only a few more months to enjoy my 30's eek!) and I still get down sometimes from my parents who are always negative about everything. If I listened to them I would never do anything. I do have a sucessfull career and family but when I started this biz they were so negative about it. I haven't quit my day job....yet and although they know I want something different they can only see the negatives. They think I should just be miserable and plug along until I retire like them. Also, people at work think I'm crazy so I just don't mention my biz much. I don't want them to worry that I'll be quiting anytime soon since I'm the only one that can do my job. Just listen to yourself and have the courage to continue along with your dream. Others are just jealous mostly and that's why they bring you down. They wish they had the courage to do something on their own b/c it does take courage and a strong work ethic. |
