Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
Are you sure you want to be doing this? You're too young to run your own business.
How I responded:
Be careful who you share your aspirations with. There are people who wish they could be as brave as you are to step out and do what you're doing, and they'll do anything to tear you down. I used it as fuel for my fire to prove everyone wrong. I'd speak up to those people in society saying I was too young to say, "says who?" Who says you have to be a certain age to run your own business? I use that for negative doubters: WHO SAYS THIS? Not me, and that's all that matters. Have faith in yourself.
