Today i had a conversation with an old friend. I told him about a service that i'm building, and he really bummed me down.
I told him that i'm doing everything by myself (coding,designing, etc..).
He told me to find an investor because "Your'e not a programmer" (even though i have two years of coding experience), "You're not rich", and "You don't know the right people".
More quotes from my friend:
"Just find an investor and take the easy way, why would you want to do everything all by yourself? you're not a superman"
"Most likely you will fail"
"What you're trying to do is extremely hard or even impossible"
"If 10 investors say your idea suck - it sucks"
"Your're a dreamer"
"You're not realistic enough"
What do you think about my friend's suggestions?
I don't know why, but the things he said are bothering me and it sucks because usually i don't care when i hear similar suggestions, maybe he has a point?
I guess what's really pisses me off is that some people think that they can define you and tell you what you can and cannot do!
