Keeping it to yourself...at the beginning.

I wish someone told me this when I was 22 years old... The “problem” with friends are that they care about you, and unfortunately, most of them are probably satisfied with the idea of “ getting a steady job, with a steady income, a steady mortgage and a steady life”. In reality I guess there is nothing wrong with that...but if you have the feeling deep inside that you are destined for more...then you need to keep your ideas to yourself...at the beginning at least.

 

Most movers and shakers in the business industry had such radical ideas and dreams that it must have seemed utterly ridiculous when they mentioned it to the people close to them. What would have happened if Bill Gates never developed Windows because his friends and family

might have said to him “its too risky” or “you’re daydreaming” or even worse...”that only happens in the movies”... The people closet to you are the ones that will try and convince you

not to take risks. And you cannot blame them. Society has them conditioned into believing they are not meant to have everything they dream of. They care about you and dont want to

see you hurt...or dissapointed.

So…If you have that radical, CRAZY, unusual dream…Keep it to yourself…don’t allow anyone to discourage you from what you want…from what you DESERVE!!! Keep at it! See

every failure as a step closer to success. NEVER GIVE UP!!! You WILL make it!!!

Good Luck!!
