Dream Stealers

Last Saturday afternoon I was working on pages for my website and decided I needed a break. I decided to go a few doors down and visit a neighbor, I started telling him and his wife about WA and how it is free to join I’m learning how to build a website so I can start an on line business. He said it’s not something that he’d be interested in but maybe his wife would be. I told them I’d get a link and if they did sign up I would get the credit.

I have been working hard on this site all week going through the training and have made significant progress since last Saturday. Feeling really good about the accomplishments that I have made I decided to pay my neighbors a visit and share my progress and the link in case they had an interest in WA, Big Mistake. All I heard was negativity about it, 1001 reasons what was wrong with it and why it was never going to work out for me I felt so humiliated, belittled, put down, there was no support for me whatsoever.

That’s not what friends do, no hard feelings, but I don’ have to take that and I’m not going to let someone steal my dreams. Sadly there are so many people out there like that, those that would rather see someone fail than succeed. Don’t let anyone steal your dreams no matter what they may be.
