Two types of people 1) Those who say you can never make it and 2) You can do it

When I quit my job to go full time in business, I encountered a lot of mediocre remarks. I have heard a lot of “aren’t you afraid?” and “you might not succeed” during those days. I have to admit that I almost backed out of my “DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE” because my mind wanted to listen to these “dream stealers”.

Good thing, there were people who saw my vision. They were the ones who nodded to every plan I told them about without any discouraging comments. Sure, even they say that I must expect a lot of trials and even be ready for failure. But they did not say it on the context of failure itself, but they wanted me to realize that in order for me to succeed I must face those bumps on the road.

If you are starting out in business, you have to train your mindset to think only the way forward. And one my ways of training my mind is spending time with people who will push me to move forward and make me realize that freedom comes when you are willing to pay the price and encourage me to pay that price.
