Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs have to deal with this from family and friends. You have to decide how you deal with it. Does it motivate you or make you give up?
My mother in law has been giving me a hard time for 5+ years about my "eBay business". That is exactly what she says "your quote business" Both my mother in law and father in law have no idea how to handle money let alone run a business but yet they feel the need to poke fun at my business any chance they get. Over Christmas my father in law asked me how much was the most i had spent at a time on inventory. I told him $2,000. (I have actually spent over 30k at a time multiple times) he proceeded to tell me how i was taking way too big of a risk ($2000 is a big risk?). He is in his 60's working as a cleaner at a big box store and will have to work until he dies. My stupid little business? I made a $30,000 profit last month.
Use the doubters to propel you to new heights!
Awesome post man. Your thread is very inspiring.
Your post reminds me of the time someone asked how much I paid for my last order. I told them to guess and their guess was $3k. The look on their face when I said $13k was priceless.
