Ā #Support #Goals #Family #Friends #BelieveInYourself
Hey there, everyone! š Have you ever had to deal with family or friends who doubt you or don’t support your goals? It’s tough, right? I’m currently navigating through this issue with my father, and it’s been challenging to say the least. š
So, how do you handle this kind of situation? Here are a few tips that have been helping me stay positive and focused amidst the doubt and lack of support:
– Communicate openly and honestly with your family/friends about your goals and why they are important to you.
– Surround yourself with a supportive community or network of people who believe in you and your dreams.
– Seek out mentors or role models who can provide guidance and encouragement along the way.
– Stay true to yourself and don’t let the opinions of others deter you from pursuing your passions.
Remember, it’s important to stay true to yourself and your aspirations, even when faced with skepticism or negativity from loved ones. Your dreams are valid and worth chasing, no matter what anyone else says. š How do you handle doubters and non-supporters in your life? Let’s share our experiences and tips to help each other overcome this challenge! šŖ #SupportiveCommunity #StayPositive
Stay focused on your goals and surround yourself with like-minded individuals who believe in your vision.
Always listen to catastrophic advice.
Gather wisdom from friends.
Mitigate risk as much as possible.
But you have to make your own decisions.
Honestly, you can’t expect most people to understand what you’re trying to do. Parents are sometimes the worst, in that they have ambitions for your life and success that often don’t look like what starting a business looks like, and they can be hurtfully vocal about it.
In the end, the only way you (maybe) win someone like that over is to succeed where he thinks you will fail.
If it’s any consolation, it’s almost comically common for parents to completely disregard their kid’s business, even once it becomes wildly successful, as some kind of hobby they are wasting their life with. One guy I spoke to the other day opened an award-winning restaurant, made enough money to buy the historic downtown building from the owner, and the very day he closed on that building his dad asked him when he was going to go back to school and get a real job. MY dad was always a little disappointed that I didn’t get a job working the line at General Motors like he did, and chose instead to own/operate the successful boutique retail shop I’ve been developing since I was 13 years old. LOL
You cut them off
Are you financially reliant on him? If so, fix that. If not, if you’re already standing on your own two feet, supporting yourself, then who cares if he believes in your untested, unproven, just-started business venture? At this stage, he probably shouldn’t, if we’re being honest. Work hard, build something you’re proud of, and if he still doesn’t believe in it after you’ve proven yourself, then that’s when it’s a problem.
If you haven’t established enough credibility, you can’t expect anyone to support your goal. People who want the best for you always prefer that you choose a secure path so donāt be disheartened. Itās better that he donāt support you at this stage honestly. Take it as a motivation to prove their doubt wrong. Positive reinforcement is definitely the best motivation out there but you donāt want people to irrationally support you like they need some element to support your idea
I’m a big boy, I do what I want.
Nobody supports goals when youāre not making money.
Donāt listen to anyone who doesnāt have what you want.
Once you start making money, everyone will change their tune from doubting you to saying they believed in you and asking for advice.
They will never understand as itās YOUR goal and not theirs. You have a vision and itās your job and goal to see it through. If thereās too much negativity, donāt mention or update them on how itās going. You have to believe. A lot of the times, youāll have to cut people off. Itās a lonely road! Be thankful for those that support you or ask how itās going. Youāll have only a very select few in your life that will! Keep pushingā¦
It’s hard but just ignore it, keep believing in yourself and go
You gotta embrace your haters and let your need to prove them wrong fuel your fire to succeed
Stay focused, prove them wrong with your success.
Work
well for starters, you must keep your head high, stay focused, and positive. This alone is motivation and drive to reach your goals and then some. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone but prove it to yourself. They’re your family and they’re not going anywhere, and neither are you. Your success will be your testimony to get them on board, either to start supporting you or not. If you made it this far, you didn’t need their support in the 1st place. keep going
If you are not living at home and your parents are not paying any of your bills then you say “thank you very much” and go on.
If they are paying your bills then you have to do what they tell you until you are no longer dependent upon them.
But without any details about what you are working – for all I know your father is correct to doubt you.
i understand it might be hard but
1. i just wouldn’t talk to him about
unfortunately most people will not understand your drive or motivation
and yes that does go with family unfortunately
must people will just be haters
until you are successful i can be a lonely journey to the top but just because people are hating on you
just try and avoid the noise and just keep working
Ignore them.
You have never accomplished anything. Don’t expect more from others.
Come to the stunning realization the reason they won’t support you is you couldn’t even conceive of customers supporting you, even they started throwing wallets at you.
Get customers to support you and you’ll hardly be able to scrape friends and family off you with a stick. But that’s a better whiny-bitchy post. You can do, ingenious, industry-disruptive, boot strappy …you.
Iām dealing with that right now, my parents prioritize stability over everything else.
