Not everyone will clap for you at the beginning. Some people only start believing when the results become impossible to ignore.
My cousin laughed at his wife when she wanted to start a small food business.
“Who will buy from you?” he said.
She started anyway with one pot of soup and a borrowed table.
For months, she woke up at 4 a.m., cooked, sold, and came home exhausted. He never helped. He never promoted her business. He never believed in her.
Three years later, her business grew so much that she bought a car, paid their children’s school fees, and moved the family into a better apartment.
Then one day he lost his job.
The same woman he mocked became the reason the family stayed afloat.
Funny how some people don’t support your dreams until your success starts paying their bills.
