Very well said.MetalFortress said:Nobody's going to hate you for being successful in and of itself, with RARE exceptions, and if any one of you tells me that most or all of the people they know are the exception, you're lying. You become disliked for it when you become an annoying ass who can't shut up about it. Learn how to be down-to-earth. That's the true mark of someone who is not only successful, but is simply congruent with being successful. Bragging shows that you are not used to it, and you still don't mentally feel that you deserve the success, so you are trying to convince both yourself and others that you do.
You make $200/week, so what. I make can make $200/hr, although I usually make around $200/day because I am also a student and don't work that much. I'm sure there are guys reading what I wrote and laughing because they make $2000/day.
Point being, the reason you have "haters" is because YOU ENJOY BEING HATED. You want that sort of attention because you feed off of it. You probably listen to music and watch movies that celebrate the underdog that crushes the competition.
You have the classic underdog attitude. Once you're no longer the underdog, you'll stop this nonsense. You'll lose the anger. Being on top, you'll see most people as below yourself. So you reach out to people and help them with a friendly attitude. You pity some people. People look up to you, rarely do you meet someone who actually hates you - most people try to learn what it is you do that makes you so good with money. I don't think I've met one person so far that hates me. Jealous people sure. But hate, haven't experienced that. You really have to be doing something awful to be hated.
Hate is a strong word. Remember that.
Great job though on your success, and best of luck with your future endevours.
P.S. I lost a few thousand dollars in daily stock trading a few years ago. From a business perspective, I encourage and recommend that you re-invest your money into growing your business. Hire people to decrease your workload so you can think of ways to expand.
