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?
People don’t like dealing with their own problems, your path is a reminder to them they are losing.
It helps if you look at it as their problem, not yours. It’s not about you, it’s about themselves.
Now that said, I do wish I had helped my brother out more when I did have the opportunity… now that’s he’s gone I should have known how much he was struggling.
