I run a modestly successful small gardening business. It took me a year to really get it going properly. For context im in my 30s and have worked in really demanding jobs to get into a position to start something.
Ever since I went full-time my sibling has had this attitude like I just won the lottery and wont share. Other people have also started acting like im driving around in a RollsRoyce with a monocle, I don’t really get it.
I give my sibling left over gardening supplies and i’ve sub contracted another friend who lost their job. Trying to share my success when I can. Whats with the hostility? Have other people experienced this kind of thing?
Very common. Try to stay positive and humble at the same time.
It’s just noise and chatter, it doesn’t have any real effect on you or your business. It bothered me at first but if people want to be negative that’s their problem. I’m going to keep pushing forward.
I’m experiencing this same thing right now, early 30s and have a food trailer that is doing well in 1st year of business. Extended family members are sooooo mad, was expecting the opposite but oh well. Keep doing you bro and the best answer to haters is silence and always improving yourself.
Food Trucks seem great, but it always looked very difficult to actually make a good living with.
