The original post
When I finished school, I literally worked for free. My mother hated it. When I finally got paid something, I was so happy. My mother still hated it. When we raised money for the first time, she said it was a disaster… because we “took someone else’s money.” She hated it. When I did my first public speaking, she hated it too. But I kept going. I kept learning. I kept meeting people. I kept building. I kept growing. I kept loving what I do. And slowly… the reactions changed. Now my mother loves it. They all do. Not because it got easier. Because I didn’t quit when it looked stupid from the outside. So keep going with whatever you’re doing. 2026 is the best year to grow. Use tools. Use AI. Use LinkedIn and X. Go wild. Go crazy. Build in public.
