Everyone's a fan of your idea, until you ask for their money
Hello again, I want to say good evening, but I don't know at what time you will be reading this. Today, topic is how everyone is a fan and cheering for your idea, until you ask for their money. It's truly amazing.
It usually goes like this. You tell your friend about your idea, they are excited for you. Cheering for you. Say you will become successful with this idea. Then you ask them would they like to invest in the idea. Either their time or their money. The answer is always "I can't right now, sorry bro, but if I'm in your place I would do this that..." Like come on bro, if the idea is that amazing, and you believe in everything you say about me and my idea, you would put money in it. Who wouldn't?
My example, one of million: I built other product, and one of my closest friend was "amazed". He said that it was amazing, genius, everybody would use this. It can be money printer. He explained that there was a real problem in market, and my product solves that problem. I really thought that he was blown away. But, when I told him, let's work together on this bro, he started to change his sayings. "I can't right now, I have work, don't have time..." Then I asked him to invest his money in the advertisement, but he said that he needs to check this that.... Man, I get angry just thinking about it haha. And, of course, he didn't work with me, or invest money. I just don't understand why people need to be fake like that.
But, the truth is that they don't give a **** about you and your idea. They don't want to see you win too. That's really sad. Even now while I'm writing this, I get sad because the world is like that, especially because the people close to you are like that.
What's even more sad, is when you ask them would they use your app or product, they always say yes. But, when it's time to buy it and use it, they stop talking about it. Always have some excuse. Truly tragic.
But, that is just a sign that you don't need to talk about everything with your friends, especially about things you are currently doing. They don't want to see you win bro, that's the truth.
Hopefully, we can meet those kind of friends that will cheer for you, be your biggest fans, work besides you on your and their projects, be your first customers, investors... That is a beautiful thing. Hopefully one day, until then, enjoy your own company, and remember, do you and you'll be fine. You can go out with your current friends ofc, but don't tell them everything bro. Be well.
Till the next time.
