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 love this response. It speaks to my experience directly. I spent my whole life so far making sure to find people who are positive(or shit negative , lol)and I go out of my way to support them and build strong community.
When I started my business, I was shocked when I started how much support I received and how few asked for anything in return. I have to actively look for their needs just to run to repay the favors.
There are probably still haters, but I can’t hear them cause I keep em so far away.
