โน๏ธ"My Parents Don't believe in my Entrepreneurial Dreams"
You are weird for doing this. Period. Normal people get a 9-5, go drink on the weekends and cry their life away in misery. So if you don't do that, you are not average and that makes you weird. I don't like the word 'weird', let's call it 'different'. Average people don't make a lot of money, different people do. So be happy with being different, that means that you are on the right path. ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ Once you are confident enough to actually take action and chase your dreams, one specific thing happens to everyone. Everyone. People are going to call you out. Could be your parents, friends, brother/sister, dentist. Whatever. The second you tell them that you work online and don't go for a full-time job career, they look down on you. They are disappointed because they think you're going to get lost in a scammy world. They don't understand entrepreneurship so for them every person that earns money online, must be a scammer. I literally got that question multiple times: "You aren't going to sell courses, right?". That's why I prefer saying that I'm an entrepreneur instead of telling them that I make money online. What they say without realising is "Oh no are you actually helping people instead of replying to stupid mails everyday? That's too hard for me, I don't understand" This also happened to me. I am the outlier at home, I go to the gym, I only eat meat, I don't drink alcohol, I dropped old friends and girls because of my values, I wake up super early, I talk about money in a different way. All the things that I mentioned above, are weird to them. Why would you drop that girl??? She was so friendly! Why don't you drink??? Have some fun dude! I'm tired of these assumptions, haha. ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ? Looking at the bigger picture. I can talk about confidence etc bla bla bla but it's just seeing your own progress in achieving your goals. Would I be confident if no one listened to me? Hell nah. Do I work super hard and is that the reason why people listen to me? Yes. Am I confident because of that? Yes, of course. So you need to reverse engineer it. Why do you think all drop-shippers feel insulted when people call them scammers? Because they KNOW it's true. That's why they feel insulted.
