How do you deal with the skepticism?

Don't lose your time with these kind of people, even if it's your own family, their only purprose it's slow you down, if they can't understand or can't do this themselves just move on, they will stay at the same salary for life, and in few years you will earn in one month what they earn in one year

One thing I have learned: never ever stay with people who don't want see you succeed

You're making money for yourself, not them. Their opinions/doubts shouldn't concern you.

Quick story for you, my friend. I was 16 years old, in highschool, and I was fascinated with making money online. I had been already making a few hundred $$ a month, which was way more than most of my friends were making at their grocery store jobs, and I was really happy. My mother was a ballbuster. She said the same things - you need to go to college soon, get a real job, and work your way to the top. "you're too smart to be wasting your time on internet scams" she told me.

Well, one night I designed a viral facebook app, and shared it to my profile. It was linked to a content blocker from CPALead. Within a few hours, I check it and I'm at 5,000 fans. Next morning I'm at 100,000. Every time I refreshed it, I had a few thousand more. I log onto CPALead and I nearly shit myself. I made almost a thousand dollars over night. So I just let kept refreshing. Within 3 days, I had 3,000,000 verified people who had installed my app, and I had made $28,000. My mom told me it was bullshit. CPALead sent me a paper check in the mail and we opened up a bank with it. I deposited the check. She said "it will never clear", and guess what, it cleared.

I had made what she makes in 6 months in 3 days. From that day forward I knew IM was my passion and it was what I wanted to do with my life.

Don't ever let the doubters stop you from pursing your dreams. Haters will hate. You're doing this for you, not them.

I make about the same £ as my stressed-out friend. He works 60+ hours a week and complains all day. I worked 6 hours last week mainly at night and sat in the sun on Monday morning on the beach with my daughter. Got a pretty good tan, he's just gone to Europe to go on holiday and probably spending his last penny until payday comes round. He has to dress a certain way for work, he has to report to his boss, he has to be at work on time, he has to eat at 12pm, he has to follow the system, he cannot make any more money unless his manager dies/leaves and he can try and apply for his job but needs to have at least 6-7 years of experience in the role he's in now. I've just signed a few more clients to start over the next few weeks and once they've paid I'll make double what he does a month. I might make 4x what he does in a few more months as I'm ranking my SEO site for some keywords now.

I don't have to do those things he does. I just had a meeting today in a non-air conditioned office. It was uncomfortable for me for an hour. They'd been there for 6 hours and had another 2 to do. I'm back at home in shorts and not giving a Fk.

He thinks I'm a web designer. I'm crap at making sites. But I can make them make money.

I agree with the first part of your reply. But this is rude and makes absolutely no sense. Just leave my thread, will ya?

I pass with my Lamborghini saying Im doing 67 steps then they believe me
