Not everyone who claims to want to help you really does. People might see your potential, they might see the greatness in you before you do, but most people don’t want to see you win. Especially if we are talking about your peers. If both of you started in the same place, are in the same crowd etc most of the time, they might want to see you do good but not better than them. It is important you keep your emotions out of business because people feed off that. Once your weakness is exposed, they will try to capitalize of that by offering you what seems to be help, or support but ultimately who it benefits is them. Follow your dreams, don’t let anyone control you. If others have been able to accomplish their dream, be it how crazy you may think it is, then so can you.
