Issac,

I like the Buddhist model where there is the Dharma, the Buddha and the Sangha. (After all isn’t this website is about Buddhism?).

This means in your situation you need a plan, i.e. the Dharma.

You need a mentor, i.e. the Buddha.

You need a support system, the Sangha.

I am sure you know that having instant success is rare being an entrepreneur.

Start having that structure in place, your question will be moot as you go forward especially when you are among others who are getting started or struggline.

Good luck,

Mark

Dear Isaac Wechuli:

If you are preaching financial success to people while you are financially broke, then perhaps stop preaching it?

You wrote that you have been “a best performer in academic education”- well, this is your achievement, academic education. You can blog about that to people out there, how to perform well academically.

Are you considering employment for yourself?

Isaac – First off it is fantastic you have ambitions to become an entrepreneur. Remember its good to self critique but do’nt do it to a point where you are self sabotaging your self.

I believe what people think of you and what you are doing is none of your business.  If you have been a good student all your life trust me you will get a job when you interview the interviewer will be super pleased if you say you took time off and invested in a business of your passion. If you can get a part time job get some income and work on your blog at the same time it might help you financially. There will always be a voice in your head that will make you doubt your self question is will you listen to it.

All the best with your blog and do not give up.

Hey Isaac,

I saw your post here and really felt compelled to answer…
I wanted to share with you a book that really helped me to turn my life around and to let go of things you mention like what other people are thinking and feeling about you.

The book is called Things Are Going Great In My Absence and its by Lola Jones.
I started with the book and then went onto all the other amazing resources in Lola’s program, Divine Openings. Lola guided me in changing the way I see things and approach situations in life…she helped me to transform my life while feeling guided and supported. I urge you to check it out!

I’m telling anyone I can about this book since it has helped me so much. I’ve been sharing it with all my friends and family and getting them all involved with Divine Openings too! They are loving it and I hope that you will love it to. Get the book! It changed my life!

Sending ease and love

So happy to hear that Isaac!
I know it will bring so much to your life!

Hi Isaac,

If you are motivating and helping people..then, isn’t this success?

From your original post: “i think people are laughing at me because i am advising them about success while i have nothing to prove that i am succesfull. I also think my blog is not good enough despite some friends telling me that its good. I think they just want to make me feel good.”

A place to start is to be more positive to yourself – these words show that you are not thinking positively about your own situation. That will come across in your writings. You should be thankful you have friends who think the blog is good. Many people would define success as having good friends.

Now if you are struggling financially – and that is part of how you define success – then you really should consider finding some employment that allows you to earn money – enough to help you feel self-sufficient – and do the blogging as well.
