Guys, kinda off topic but this is driving me nuts. Can someone hear me out for 5 minutes. Some of you know my story but to those who don’t:
I’m 25. Graduated with a BSc in Biomedical Science in hopes of becoming a doctor.
Rejected from medical school 2 times. Didn’t care.
I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart. Several businesses from 16 years old.
Anyways, got a corporate job. Started a business around the same time. 1.5 years later, quit job as my businesses was far exceeding my salary, and the time I needed to dedicate to the business was overlapped by my job. I was answering business emails during work.
Anyways, my business is generating over $800k in revenue now (projection for this year). It did $400k in its first year. I’m paying my parents’ mortgage on a $1million dollar home.
With all that said, something negative happened today for my business and the first thing out of the mouth of those around me “I told you to keep your job”. “This is why I tell you to get a real job. “You need benefits, you wentto school.” “Why did you go to university”? “Business on the side, job first”.
Can someone explain to me who’s wrong because I clearly don’t see how that makes sense. Who’s mindset is wrong guys? This is driving me nuts. Is this what entrepreneurs have to deal with from immediate family?
I’m really sorry for the rant guys but stuff like this kills my mood.
Sounds like your mindset is about business is right except for two things.
- You're paying the mortgage on a $1mm house that it wasn't your decision to buy. Or was it? It sounds like your parents bought a million dollar house and you're paying for it, and that seems pretty crazy when you're trying to build actual wealth.
- You're listening to people about business who know nothing about business. Them sharing DNA with you doesn't increase their wisdom or make their advice valid.
