Whose Opinion Matters?
If you aren’t particular as to whose opinions you value, you are in no position to expect those with particular interests to pay attention.

If you aren’t particular as to whose opinions you value, you are in no position to expect those with particular interests to pay attention.
Do not fear judgement from those that aren’t in support of whatever it is you are doing, instead empathise, anyone paying attention to anything that isn’t of interest to them is doing so to avoid dealing with problems of their own.
If you haven’t made apparent when it is most viable to contact you, you are in no position to be disappointed should your customers reach out at their convenience.
In a room that values hard work, if you aren’t the hardest working, you are not in a position to call the shots.
Without context, anyone inclined to have an opinion is not someone worth valuing the opinion of.
You will never be paid attention to for reasons you haven’t made an effort to be recognised for, nor will doing what is convenient short term deem your long term ambitions any more attainable.
You cannot expect methods that have proven viable in the past to be effective should your intended outcome change. If you want a different result, change the formula.
If no one is buying what you are selling, either what you are selling isn’t considered by your intended audience good value or you are yet to efficiently communicate to them why what ever it is you are selling is well suited to them.
For as long as you are disregarding bad feedback, you are making apparent it is your pride you value most and therefore, given your customers are not your first priority, you are in no position to complain that your business isn’t doing as well as you had hoped it would.
Each instance things do not go as planned represents an opportunity to learn, should the way such a loss leaves you feeling be incentive enough to consider what you could have done differently.
No matter how good your aim, you can’t hit a target you can’t see, nor can falling short of expectations that have not been effectively communicated be held against anyone.
No one takes pride in having nothing to lose nor is accountability often an issue for those understanding of the sacrifices necessary to achieve what they have.
The less often children are told no, the more expected a yes becomes, resulting in entitlement and reducing the likelihood of them ever being able to put things in perspective.
Should context regarding what you do and don’t like, what you are and aren’t good at be the outcome, regardless as to the perception others may have, it’s not a step backwards.
Should the reason you do the things you do be attributed to or influenced by a perspective that isn’t your own, you could be happier.
Failing to communicate to your child the attention they are paid by you isn’t dictated by how close they come to meeting your idealistic expectations, predicated by your interests, will result in eventual resentment.
If allowing your audience more context than you have already could adversely effect their perspective regarding your intentions, you are already at risk of those invested in you feeling deceived should all that you have deliberately withheld become apparent.
Speculating results in no more context than doing nothing does, nor will you ever know what difference opting for the alternative would have made anyway.
You are liable for the customers opinion of the service provided, independent as to their expectations. Should such expectations be unrealistic, resulting in disappointment, it is your fault for not having the uncomfortable conversation necessary to begin with to make apparent what is and isn’t to be expected of you.
If it’s not difficult to find someone better at it than you, it is not that which you have the greatest chance at being regarded for.
If you are doing it for “free” and no one is interested, you are yet to efficiently communicate to anyone as to why, despite it being at no cost financially to them, the time spent doing what ever it is you would like them to is worth it and could not be better spent.
If you are good enough comparatively, good things will happen. Failing to realise this, assuring yourself persistence will make the difference for the sake of your pride, will result in disappointment.
Wilful ignorance regarding foreseeable problems will result in you finding yourself with less leverage than you could have otherwise had and out of desperation, having to settle as opposed to having a choice.
An all or nothing approach justifies inaction should such an approach potentially be at the expense of the livelihood of those dependant on you, those you would never risk jeopardising the welfare of. With enough small steps in the right direction, although it may take longer, the outcome will be no different.
You will be your happiest when you get to do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it. To reach such a point, you must first do whatever is best for your business whenever required, for as long as necessary. The question isn’t can it be done, the question is your WHY important enough to you to forgo the leisure you are relying upon to escape your current reality?
If no one is buying what you are selling you are yet to efficiently create awareness regarding the value of that you have to offer compared to that you are asking for in exchange. Provided conversion isn’t the issue, rather retention, no one but you believes what you are asking for is worth what you have to offer.
Decisions regarding your life, regarding your best interests should be the easiest to make, the reason they aren’t, the reason you often find yourself overwhelmed is because you choose to value the opinions of others, despite the little context you have allowed them to avoid liability.
What is optimal in theory makes no difference provided you have no intention of taking action. Independent as to what the statistics suggest, independent as to what has proven viable for most, if it’s something you aren’t motivated to do, it’s not going to work for you.
If it’s something you would do regardless because you enjoy it and you are fortunate enough to be good at it, you have found that which you are most likely to make an impact regarding. Every hour invested in that outlet, in that skill, in that service will reduce the likelihood of you still having to work a job you don’t like to afford a lifestyle you have settled for.
Not every helping hand is lent with the best interests of those in need of help at heart. Should your first priority be anything other than a resolution when offering to help, what you are in fact intending to do is manipulate.
