Well said my friend! I appreciate this article. Personally, I get the "why are you working so much?", "You should not work on your birthday!", "How long have you been doing that?" and so much more in that vein.

That kind of stuff for me goes right in the trash. I know my vision and will get there with my close friends that are business owners advising me. And me making decisions on things never decided before. And persistence, hard work, constantly learning, and all the other things you said w/o saying them.
