There are so many people I talk to who are beaten down by outside influences, such as their spouses, family members, friends, and social influences. Everybody is willing to put their two cents in on what is right for you.
People have this bad habit of classifying individuals, and putting them in what they consider to be a suitable box. It really doesn’t matter if you are happy, fulfilled, or want to do better. People love to say the stereo typical things like, are you crazy, you have a family and responsibilities. What do mean you want to start a business and fulfill your life time dream?
Many of these people have a secret lives, and use the internet as a way of trying to build up the nerve to do what they want. They spend numerous hours looking at other people’s successes, and really it just makes them more and more miserable. Once and awhile they actually find a situation that makes sense to them, but as soon as they get really close, they back down because they do not want to deal with the backlash from the box people.
The long and short is not everybody is going to agree with what you want to do, believe in your idea, or see the benefits at the end. If you have the desire to change your life, do better, be successful, then you need to go for it.

Would you consider yourself a diamond in the ruff waiting to shine?
I worked at many different jobs in my life before going into business on my own. Most people I knew could not figure out why I just didn’t stay with one, and move up the proverbially ladder. The truth is at the time I was not sure myself, except that something inside told me it was time to leave; I had learned what was needed to move on.
