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?
There’s a common misconception that business owners have lots of free time and money. Just because my shop is open from 10-6 doesn’t mean that I only work those hours. People also assume that the money just comes in unlimited.
They wouldn’t last a week walking in our shoes.
Keep up the good hard work and brush aside the haters.
