Your success reminds them of the dreams they didn’t pursue to begin with.

0:00Right. This is going to be really [ __ ] up. I actually think that people are happy that you quit your job because it [music] counts you out of the race because the likelihood that you win is so low. And so, they're happy because you're actually taking a step back. You literally take a step back in income, take a step back in status because you're not doing as well. Like, I went from a white-collar job to, you know, being a personal trainer. Like, it was a big step back. So, any of my peer group were like, "Oh, yeah, so good that you're doing that." Right? If I had immediately jumped and started a tech startup and raised $100 million, they probably immediately wouldn't have been happy for me. Your success reminds them of the dreams that they didn't pursue to begin with. And that's why it's so hard to go home for a lot of people or stay home for a lot of people because everyone who you grew up with in middle school and high school, you become a glaring example of what they could have done [music] but didn't. It's not your fault. It's what you make them think about themselves.
