Today is #TalkingTuesday and my blog post is about those people around you who consciously and subconsciously are just waiting for you to fail. Shockingly as this may sound, it is not just one person, it is most of the people around you.
You are probably thinking to yourself that most people around you like you and that you are such a nice person so I must not even be talking about you in particular as I write this blog post. Well, I am talking to you and you need to understand what I am about to tell you.
We are programmed from the time we are born to go to school, go to college, get a job and hopefully one day retire. Those of us who dare to decide that we want something different, that we have dreams and aspirations, are looked at as sort of rebels. We become entrepreneurs and we begin to build our own business and in turn what we get are constant naysayers telling us that we are ridiculous for wanting to build a business. They talk and talk and talk and try to shame us by telling us that we need a job to have stability for our families. We are constantly told to get our heads out of the clouds and get that job. These people all around you want you to fail. Many of them may not even know that they want you to fail but they want you to conform as they did. It is a very uncomfortable feeling when people see other people building their dreams and not submitting to societal norms.
The sad part about these people is the fact that there is strength in numbers. You are one person facing people from all directions, people who want you to fail. Sadly, the sheer volume of naysayers often succeed in bringing an entrepreneur down to their level and therefore the entrepreneurs dreams get delayed or even get destroyed.
It is up to you to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to be in control of your own life and keep your eyes on your prize of your journeys end goal. You have to have the inner strength to block out the naysayers, hold your head high and just keep doing you. Do not let these people send you into conformity because you feel there may be some validity in things they say. You only have to remember one thing, if someone appears to be squashing your dream, than they want you to fail so just take a deep breath and walk away.
If you want to learn how to take the bull by the horns than you have to read a great book called Crushing It. This is a book I have recommended before and it is worth recommending again. If you have not gotten it, try and borrow a copy from your local library or maybe from one of your friends. If neither option is available, here is a link to get your own copy from Amazon >>> https://amzn.to/2OHJCFg
If you choose to shop in Amazon, I would greatly appreciate it if you could use the link I have provided. As an Amazon Affiliate, it is possible I can earn a bonus and therefore continue to provide continued content we all enjoy. Thank you in advance!
