Negative people
Avoid negative people, the time-wasters, the doubters, those who want to drag you down to their level so they no longer feel inferior. This is what such people say when they learn you are starting an enterprise of your own:
1) it can’t be done
2) you can’t do it
3) it was beginner’s luck
4) you will fail next year
5) (to others) I helped him succeed
6) I taught him everything he knows
7) we grew up together, we’re old friends!
