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?
Over 2 decades in business and I had good friends trying to get me to go back to being a janitor for the local school system just because of the benefits. It quite honestly bordered on insulting. Throw away 20+ years in business and a very large pay cut to go back to mopping up piss in the boy’s room, not out of necessity, but simply for benefits? Some people are unable to understand or appreciate being in business for one’s self.
