In the beginning, they are going to laugh...
They are going to ridicule...
They are going to try to dissuade you...
Don't listen.
You don't need their permission or approval.
Years later, when you're doing what you said you would, they are going to tell you how great you are.
They are going to celebrate the fact that you "made it".
They are going to try to convince you to slow down and relax...
Don't listen.
You will always have a lot more work to do to reach your true potential.
Go do it.
