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?
I’m very discreet about business successes.
If someone knows about my success and asks about it, I tell them about the struggles I face…working two jobs…80 hour work weeks…spending money to maintain assets…working on weekends…having to take care of customer service issues during my time off…etc
Congratulats on your success. It sounds like it’s time for you to start analyzing your social group to see which friends are your business allies, and which friends are there for other social reasons 🙂🙂
