Why I Stopped Talking About My Goals with Friends and Family

[William Miller]

Lately, I’ve realized that not everyone deserves a front row seat to my goals.

Most of my friends and family are good people but they don’t share the same vision or mindset when it comes to building wealth, real estate investing, or taking risks for long-term freedom. And that’s okay. But what I’ve learned the hard way is that sharing my plans with the wrong people can kill momentum before I even start.

You’ll hear things like:

• “That sounds risky.”
• “Real estate is too expensive right now.”
• “Why not just stick to your job and play it safe?”
• “My cousin’s uncle tried that and lost everything.”

Most of them mean well. But the truth is, most people want to give advice they’ve never earned. They've never done a BRRRR, never managed a rental, never dealt with banks or built anything from scratch but they have an opinion ready to go.

So I’ve been learning to keep my head down, stay focused, and connect with people who are actually in the game. People who’ve done what I’m trying to do. People who can offer real feedback instead of fear.

If you’ve ever felt the same like you’re moving in a different direction than those around you just know you’re not alone. I’m here to network, stay accountable, and build something real with people who get it.

Let’s connect. I’m always down to trade knowledge, share deals, or just keep each other locked in.

Amazing post. I will leave your with two of the most important aspects behind and visionary entrepreneur:

1. always work in the shadows rather the spotlight, no one sees all the hard work, blood sweat and tears put into building an empire they only see the end result and either scold or praise you thereafter. Whether they clap or Boo - if they weren’t on the climb up the mountain with you they don’t deserve a second of your time

2. Fear is the biggest anti-catalyst to anyone’s success and growth. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of the unknown. Fear is simply derived from a place of not knowing. You conquer this by learning. 

you are making the right choices. Work in the weeds, stay quiet. Grow together with someone who has like minded approach.
