Many people, for some reason, don't want to see you succeed. You must avoid them and try to put them out of your life.
Excellent points -- especially the one above. I've found that to be so true it's almost sad. I had to wing it alone. The only encouragement I got when I started was in webmaster forums i.e. strangers!

I don't understand that trait in people, but it's there for whatever reasons, as you said. I agree that it's imperative to ignore that attitude or any negative talk for that matter.

I still see it -- even my own niece, when I quit my job with the IRS, something I'd so long waited to do, was worried I'd fall flat on my face. Well, I'm doing better than ever. This is a young woman who knows me quite well and should have known I knew what I was doing, yet the "You can't do this" attitude was still there. Go figure.

Keep thinking positive!!
