Here's a thing, everyone has an opinion. Some people keep their whole life on hold waiting for the opinions of other people in other to do those things which they themselves think is in order or is appropriate. And truth is that, if you go with the opinions of most people, you'll end in an average position in life. This is simply because of the 80/20 principle, hence 80% of the opinions you'll ever receive, will tend to be average or bad.
Only 20% of the opinions of people will most likely lead you to doing amazing things, as only 20% of the population, really have their act together. You can't trust the opinions of people if what you're about to embark on is a really creative and innovative venture, because guess what? They'll only discourage you, and give you a thousand reasons why your idea is unworkable and a risk you shouldn't even consider taking. This is the truth they feel they know.
If you have a conviction from deep within, and you're sure that what about to do, perhaps the business you have in mind is going to work, and you believe that you'll be able to make profit from it, and keep it running steadily. Then why are you waiting for people's opinions? You're the most important character, in this movie called 'Your Life'. It's your life, take your own risks, go with your own opinion on things that truly matter to you.
Sometimes, it's really funny when you take a good look at it. You probably said to yourself, that this is what you want to do. Now you're waiting for another human being's opinion, what if the person says don't do it? Will you put your whole life dream aside because of the opinion of that person? If so, you were not obsessed about that business or that thing you had in mind. The truth is that if you really believe in your vision, you won't care what the world thinks.
Let me also say that, it's not that I'm completely saying that you should never listen to the opinions of people. You should listen, but only use their opinions to come to your own conclusion. And not just go with it. Fundamentally, if you truly seek an opinion about a business or something creative you're starting out, go meet a consultant on that subject. A man who has some high level of authority in that field. And pay him for his counsel. Pay him in full.
And it doesn't completely matter whether or not the consultant agrees with your own opinion. The whole idea of you meeting with the consultant is getting a wider scope on the subject, and seeing it from the perspective of an authority in that field. The truth is that even the consultant can say, it's impossible to do what you want to achieve, but in the end you can actually go ahead and make it a reality. Remember, the consultant is a human being too and can be wrong as well.
It's important to note in this connection that you have to rigorously think and analyse your own opinion, and believe it wholeheartedly, if you'll go against the world to make it a reality. Some people suffer from inferiority complex, so they'll think that if what you're planning is beyond the scope of their capability, no one else can do it. They'll project their fears on you. In the end, work very hard to bring your dream to reality. And you'll see that those same people who said that you can't do it, will celebrate you in the end.
