Dogs won’t bark at parked cars, they say.
I suppose that quote is humorous. What does that mean, though?
Dogs occasionally bark at moving cars, but never at parked cars.
You’ll notice that people pay greater attention to you once you start your business and make those initial attempts to get it going.
People won’t pay you much attention if you lead a routine life of going to work, dropping the kids off at daycare, attending meetings, and returning home from work.
You receive comments from others as you begin to take the large, bold, and daring step towards becoming an entrepreneur.
However, not all of these remarks will be pleasant. It will have both positive and negative qualities, some of which may be nasty and occasionally illogical. An entrepreneur’s life is like this.
It’s only natural that people will start talking about you if you make significant changes in your life and work to accomplish your goals.
Keep in mind that this is a typical stage of the process!
Do not ‘bark’ at parked cars, which signifies that I am moving along in my life. Individuals are taking notice, which will make some people envious.
Other individuals can occasionally become uneasy when people (like you) make these audacious, gutsy decisions.
Therefore, my advice is to distance yourself from it, make yourself resistant to criticism, and only share with those who you believe will be supportive of you.
The haters can wait. They eventually stop having as many doubts about you, because how can they once you have a prosperous business?
You know you’re headed in the right direction if the proverbial dogs are barking at you!
