Little background here: I'm an 18M, and just dropped out of University after one year of a degree, I knew I'd probably not make a career out of. Parents were fine with that.
Just got back home and they're convincing me to go to flying school and get a commercial pilots license. For all the job benefits, status and so on...Only thing is, I have no real passion to go become a pilot, I've always wanted to be a racing driver. While racing is expensive, The Millionaire Fastlane has been a real eye opener what I can do to achieve it.
They've seen me try and fail a lot these last 2 years I've been trying to build an online business. I've started making a little money freelancing, and am continuously developing my skills and knowledge. To them, they're constantly worried sick about me doing nothing with my life. Don't know if the little money I've made impresses them.
But what if I fail ! ??? I need a backup plan, don't I ? All the nagging, worrying and naysaying from people all around me has been getting to me, I feel it may be better to just go off and do it for the sake of it. I just find the whole environment at home isn't always the best.
Will things just be better off just listening to them ? I really don't want to waste their money or disappoint them, as I have no desire to become a pilot. It seems the only way they'll continue supporting me with my ambitions is by just going and getting this done.
What is your take on just doing something just to please parents ? How do you keep your head up, and not be overwhelmed by all the adversity you face as beginning entrepreneur ?
