My family and friends often thought that I was a stupid dreamer and wouldn't be able to achieve success in business, that I would lose all my money if I start investing in any projects, and that online business is a scam. I couldn't find support in my environment, so I began to discuss my ideas on such portals, read motivating articles and other people's success stories, for example, this article
https://misfitblogging.com/how-i-went-from-broke describes the path of a person who very much reminds me of what I overcame on the way to successful e-commerce. I know that losing money is sad and a lot of newcomers in investments aren't ready for the fact that they can go bankrupt, but I talked with many members of this forum and can prove that none of them got success on the first try. Those who gave up this idea definitely couldn't get rich, but many of those who didn't give up then, now have a stable income from one, two or three successful investment projects.
