Hey everyone,

So lately i've come to realize that what i'm doing with an internet business is not what is in align with what my parents want me to do. They want me to take one of the 35 job offers a day my dad sends and go through with it. But truth be told i've always struggled with jobs, I usually quit after the first few days when it gets hard.

My dad is constantly telling me you dont have a business, your still stuck in the same situation you were 6 months ago.. It really bothers me, i want to show them the success i can have but at this point they just dont believe me or really support me.. I understand this is part of the process but it is annoying.

How have you dealt with doubters and haters in your IM journey?

    ok ..chips down..

    without a job are you supporting yourself or are you living in your parents house ..with them doing some of the supporting ?

    there are many different types of support .. now if you can't support yourself ..don't expect anyone else to ..

    if you are living on you own and paying your bills from what you make from im ..if not get a job ..and work on Im on the side until you can support yourself with it ..

    my parents are supporting me at this point.. lol

    I understand, im just taking so advantage of where im at right now, and i really want a business to work for me badly, i dont make enough to sustain living where im at and still profit... it sucks, and i cant get myself motivated to start talking to people to create business... maybe i smoke too pot lol

    Its like i have the vision of where i want to be, i know it will take 2 years, but getting myself to the point of action day in and day out seems like a nightmare, i want to enjoy the process..

    But thanks for the reality check!

      You don't have any success to show your parents or you would be supporting yourself. You can live in a parents home & help pay bills. Helping your parents out with monthly bills is your proof.

      Get off your can & do it.

      You can't make people see your vision. You just have to make sure you don't let them being blind effect your sight. Have a vision, make sure YOU see it, then get there. Then, and only then, will they see your vision. (and lie and tell you they saw it the whole time)

    Parents never understand until you have the proof to show them that you can earn more than the usual job.

    Don't let these problems take you away from your goal. Work hard. I am also in the same boat. So it happens with many people.

    Here's something you don't want to hear ...

    If your parents pay for your shelter, your food, your shelter, your clothes, your car, then you don't really have the right to call them haters. You can do whatever the heck you want in this life, but with that power also comes the responsibility to sustain it.

    Also, what makes you believe you can succeed in IM if you give up on anything that "gets hard".

    Kids these days ...

    If there is something I've learned in my life is that as long as I'm willing to pay the price, I can do whatever the hell I want. I must be willing to PAY the price though.
