We listen to motivation that tells us to chase our dreams at all cost. But no one really asks us if we are ready to pay the price. Talent is not the only recipe for success. In fact being talented is overrated. You can be talented but do you have what it takes to bring your dreams to life? The grit? The mental resilience? The shamelessness? The bounce back mindset? The physical and emotional stress? Because dreams come with nightmares, talent is overrated and success has a price you must pay.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>If you are on social media, you have probably came across a rant video or two where influencers/entrepreneurs are speaking bitterly about about fake friends and the lack of support from loved ones when they start a new business or start content creation. </p><p>While many people agree with  and mirror the sentiments in those the videos, I dare offer an alternative reason why your friends do not support you when you start a business or when you start your influencer journey. </p><p>Sometimes, friends feel entitled to the support and fail to understand that it is optional and usually earned.</p><p>Other times it is a question of interest in your specific niche or product/service, or an issue of reciprocal friendships. Sometimes, the lack of support stems from inadequate knowledge of marketing and social media growth strategies that could positively impact your business. Whatever the reason it for a lack of support, it is important for us to not regard our friends as haters of our business ventures and content creation engagements.
