Protecting Our Decisions, Protecting Our Dreams

Along with my hard work here inside WA on my website I am having random thoughts and doubts about my work and whether or not it's worth my time.

In addition to this, I started to get "road bumps" from different people "judging" my work, and trying to decide what is best for me ( parents, friends, girlfriend and so on).

To be more specific, they are sure that I am wasting my time and money, and that I will never rank number 1 in google because everybody is trying to do the same.

They are kinda trying to talk me out of this, and convince me to go right into study, start a career and be a normal employee like everybody.

And because of this I had the urge to write a blog on this topic because I know that I am not the only one who is struggling with all these "side-demons".

Fortunately for me, I remember why I started, and I remember where I want to be which makes me immune to these "attacks" from people.
We need to remember one thing: We are here because we made a decision to be here.

We made a commitment to succeed. We decided to succeed. And decisions cannot be broken.

We need to protect our thoughts, our dreams and our visions - People will always try to stop us, to change our directions and to decide what is best for us.

Each and everyone of us is a whole new world. And Nobody can decide what is the right thing for us to do except ourselves.

You are inside your body and your mind. You create your goals and thoughts according to YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. How someone can tell you what is best for you when he is outside of your thoughts, your eyes and your mind?

Keep up with the good work, and don't let ANYONE to stop you from what you are doing!
Thanks for your time, and go back to work !!

I feel that success comes with hard work and perseverance. Not many people can reach the top but do take one step at a time. Do not be stress with ranking on top of Google but instead focus on offering the value with your articles to the right audience.

Exactly!
I started to focus on it from the beginning of my second website, you know, the first one was for a practice :)

You have all the good advise from our friends here at WA. I feel the same way about it.Most people want to see immediate results.
What we are doing here takes time and effort and we will surely make it. Keep it going.

I am amazed with how many people around the world feel the same, hah!
Thanks for the support, and good luck for you too!

Yes I deal with that also from my family and friends but I know within my heart I will succeed it just takes time but if you feel down and out from all the haters come here because you will always find others just like you and they will support you every step of the way to the top all the best Max

You are totally right, thanks pal !

Hi Alexey, I think nearly every person who wants to succeed away from the 9-5 job cops a bit of flack along the way . Just wait until you are earning double their income then remind them of something
Cheers Peter

Love your words, thanks :)

cheers

Hi Alexey, I really know how that feels. People from friends, family, colleagues, all of them is somehow trying to persuade me into 'pursuing normal career and life path'.

Yeah, normal lifepath like get into college, earn a Master Degree, keep track on your 9-5 job and go high to be a manager or director as possible as you can, don't try to resign from your job now unless you are hijacked to other company with better position and better salary, etc.

Doing business should be come last, and if possible when you are about 40s or even 50s when you already have a very high position in the company.

This is a very common belief that run through in my society. People that doing something 'different' are being judged heavily and often being told as 'stupid' (been there a lot).

What I do is listen to the voice in my heart. What I am really want to be? Going the normal path and regret everything I didn't do, or going the different path and satisfied with whatever result I earn?

I hope you can keep building your business and if you ever run into trouble, we will be here to encourage and support you into continuing your business :)

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi, and thank you so much for this encouraging story. I am exactly in the phase where the closest people kinda expect the results from my online business (which will not happen so fast as they expect), and it not, they will try to talk me out of this.
I protect my dreams, and my decisions.

You're welcome and wish you the best :)

I know I reference Think and Grow Rich a lot in my everyday life, but WA is like a huge mastermind group. Its a super pool of information and help and support. Sometimes in life, getting that slight acknowledgement is all you need to get over what obstacle is in your way at the moment. Belief, Desire and Persistence are your best friends. Great post.

When you're doing something different from what other people do, they will always tend to ridicule you, unless you're producing an immediate result. I think all 6 figure marketers and online millionaires went through this stage on their road to success. It all depends on how much we trust in the choice we've made. Just keep drilling.
Thank you for this post. Kirill.

It's good to write this stuff, to get it out of your system. You are right. You are here for a reason. #3 in the 8 habits of a 6 figure income is; 'Work so hard you are ridiculed'. Guess you're doing that one right. And by the way, I took a quick look at you site. Looks to me that you're doing that one right as well. Keep it up, do well, Robert
