10 years ago, "Ryan" and I talked about his business idea. We worked on some details. Before we ended the meeting, I asked Ryan: "If I thought this was a bad idea, what would you think?"
Ryan: "I don't know. I probably wouldn't do it."
Me: "WRONG ANSWER! Ryan, if you're serious about doing anything, let alone this, you have to be committed to it. You can't let anyone, including me, deter you or stop you. Whether I or anyone else believes in you, you better believe in you or this thing isn't going to work.
You should've said aloud: Okay, Dr. Parks-Yancy. But, in your mind, your response should've been: Whatever, Dr. Parks-Yancy, I'm going to to do it, anyway."
Ryan's doing really well, professionally. His business has gone through ups and downs and curves and hills. But he's never stopped in believing in him.
The most shade can come from people closest to you. The most support can come from strangers.
Either way, it doesn't matter. The most valuable support is from yourself to yourself. You owe you.
