Hi mylotters,
Before I become a full-time internetpreneur or shall I just say full-time internet marketer, I had been busy running my business the traditional way, which is retailing - buy your products at wholesale and sell at marked-up price. It was very challenging and you also need a lot of capital whenever you want to introduce new products.
But ever since my husband was transferred to another town, I resorted to a "mobile" business, an office that I can easily bring to anywhere I want to go. So, doing my business online affords me to do just that, the mobility to look after my family.
When I closed my brick and mortar business, all kinds of rumours and gossips about me, my family and business were passed around. Now, when I meet some of my friends and previous clients, they think that I have given up my business career and end up being a failed entrepreneur.
This is really an eye opener experience for me. Seems like there are more people who are interested to hear lies than truth. When I tell them that I am in the "international" business, because I get clients from all over the world, they seem to disbelieve me and think that I am making a good story to cover my "failure"...*sigh!!!* Why is this world filled with more jealous people than reasonable ones? What do you think mylotters?

There is that old saying the grass is always greener on the other side.. With this in mind.. Others see you successing which causes several feelings stiring in their heads; if she can do it why cant/dont I? Why wont she tell me the trick to easy success.. Not knowing all of the hard work that you have to do on a daily basises or what you had to do to get to where you are at today.. Something life is some contest that they always have to be number one; and your success is getting in their way of being number one.. So instead of working harder at what ever they do they just put you down.. Hoping to either ruin your creditablity or have you emotionally handicapped.. Focusing on what is being said instead of focusing on making your business even better..
Jealous is just another form of hate; which is all around us at all times.. The more we suceed in life the more negative vibs come our way.. Its just the way it is I guess.. Wish it wasn't..

That's brilliant. Another possibility. I have a strong feeling that many people think that other families are better, other countries are better etc. It's a "grass is always greener on the other side" saying! Brilliant!
And in fact, when people are regretting, some of them might try to persuade others to do the same thing and make others feel regretting to find balances for themselves. Not all people are like so but I've known some cases which is quite similar to this analyses.

Yes this is true.. Others may be trying to life their lives through someone else.. So they do not want the same mistakes or down the wrong path.. SO they sit there and discredit or confuse the person so that they will listen.. There is giving advice and then there is someone flat out judging anothers life.. God is my judge, not anyone else...

Hi sjvenden,
Thanks for your beautiful comment. I think you have said it well...there are just those type of people who are only satisfied when they ruin other people's credibility and try to attack you mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is like killing you...your confidence, self-esteem, determination, strong will, your faith and etc. When all these are destroyed, one would have a physical body but without the spirit to live.
Thanks for responding and happy mylotting!

There are just people who like to make up stories out of proportion. And they tell around with a "matter-of-fact" attitude. I guess it is either they are envious of your status or that they simply do not other things to talk about.
But I am happy that you are still able to make business even if you have move to another place. Keep it up!

Stories that are blown out of proportion are probably still the "thing" to make one gets occupied.
Yes, doing my business online helps me to earn and learn many new things. Business in today's modern world has evolved because of the availability of the internet.
Thank you for responding.

Hello Micha, it's sad to know that other people prefer to hear your failures rather than your recent updates. why would they want to hear your failures any-ways? well, that's their problem indeed is something that we shouldn't bother ourselves at. it's human nature to envy, sometimes some people can't help it.

Hi micha: I think this happens because people are competitive and some of them feel intimidated when they see someone with talent and good ideas out there. A way they use to destroy this person is by gossiping. In the second place, they are just stupid. If they don't believe what you say just smile and if they have once the opportunity to see your succes they'll have to eat their words.

Hi again Alvaro,
If this is due to competition in business, if they are my rivals, I don't mind actually. But I think (though I am not very sure), these circles of people who gossip and slander are not business people at all.
Maybe it's a small town here, just nothing much to occupy their time with other than drinking and gossiping. When I see my friends or anyone who do not believe in my story, I do not smile, I just look at them and study their face/ look. I want to study how a jealous face look like...hehhe
I don't need, am not obliged to prove anything to these people. I just do my thing (what I am good in) and quietly earn money. I don't like to disturb anyone. I keep a low profile...but hey, I came out in the local news recently, some things are just not within my control...
Happy mylotting, Alvaro. Hope you have a nice day!

Hi friend, sad to hear about this. You are right, lot of jealous people surround us and watching for the time to pull us down. we must be careful with them. Business person must always be careful with the competitors, most of the times they are in need to face unknown persons who are giving troubles, we must know to solve our issues and keep our business in a good manner. Wish you to achieve a lot in your business. All the best

That is "crab mentality".You can not please everybody to believe you. Just do what makes your business to be successful. Do not bother for others opinion, it doesn't help in your boosting business anyway. Just think the idea that those people are just one of your challenges to meet success.
