Should you tell family and friends your plans? It's a common question because family and friends cause most difficulties. When we propose or tell them something, they will always give us feedback—critical, cautious, or conservative. Ultimately, it will encourage caution.
It depends on your personality. Some people are motivated to achieve their goals by stating something and being rejected.
This may deter some. A family atmosphere and varied friends mean that if you have motivated, entrepreneurial, successful friends, their viewpoint matters.
If your friends are unmotivated, they may ask, "Why bother?" Why are you doing this and that? You must also consider who gave you this opinion.
Dad didn't want me to start a business. He advised employees to prioritise safety. For him, starting a business was the biggest risk. What I'm saying is unbelievable but real. His death today shows he couldn't understand my circumstances. He made me terrified of entrepreneurship. He said it's the worst, you risk losing everything, ruining yourself, etc.
He trained me to avoid corporate leadership. He's my dad, yet I love him. He also thought entrepreneurship was risky. Be careful, since the people who love you most will encourage you to be careful, be worried for you, and sometimes give you bad advice.
All things demand determination...
Again, it relies on your environment, as I've advised you. When my father told me that, I wouldn't debate with him or say, "I'll prove to you that no, I don't care." I adore my dad.
I didn't always agree with him. I wanted to tell him it didn't matter, not impose. That's a pointless dispute that wastes your time. So pick your battles! Again, if you think talking about it would slow you down or hinder you from reaching your goals, don't.
Finally, you must have this vision. No one should detract from this vision. I discuss it with my pupils and my wife, whom I love and get along with. She said no, because it is hazardous and you're a trader.
You wrote articles, had experience, were a speaker, and won numerous accolades. I met her while conducting a conference in her bank, where she worked as a currency trader and broker for a huge bank. She advised me against it.
She was cautious. After she saw what I done, it irritated and itched me. I needed to make this programme. She realised it was worth it when I made it.
Sometimes your loved ones want to protect you. But sometimes you can show them by doing. Thus, acting is the best approach to convince them you're right. After results, things happen organically. Friends, I hope you enjoyed this article.
