Do You Have Family Members or Friends Who Are Blatantly Jealous of Your Internet Marketing Success?

I grew up dirt poor in the projects, living on welfare. My mother was a stay-at-home housewife with 5 kids, and my father was an unskilled laborer. He worked in all kinds of dirty, stinking, rat-infested factories, busting his back for $80 a week. I remember, he used to pick me up, and put me on his knee. He would show me his rough, calloused hands and say, "David, get an education, so your hands never have to look like mine."

I NEVER forgot those words, and I vowed I would NOT end up like my father. I didn't. Over the years, I've had a variety of white collar sales jobs. In addition to being a sales manager, I've sold burglar alarm systems via telemarketing...I've sold buyers club memberships...I've sold cars... I've sold yellow pages advertising. Heck, I've even sold copy machines door to door.

I was a very good salesman, and I made a lot of money, before bringing my sales and marketing talents to the Internet. But something funny happened along the way. For whatever reason, over the years, my father became more and more envious of my success. And the more successful I became, the further apart we grew.

Anyway, to make a long story short, my father passed on about 15 years ago. And he was bitter about my success, until the day he died. To this day, I don't understand it. You would think a father would want only the best for his son.

My question to you is this, do you have family members or friends who are blatantly jealous of your Internet Marketing success?
