Jacqueline Elliott warns creators not to publicly complain about struggles early on. Sharing hardships too soon invites discouragement and gives others a chance to talk you out of your plans. Wait until you've succeeded, then your story becomes proof it was worth the risk.

Chapters

See the world outside. They're used to sympathy. Oh, well, I had to go sell my car because I needed to buy some leads to make ends meet. Or I needed to go do this. I needed to invest in marketing. So I had to go sell this, what I really wanted. Well, why the hell did you give up your 9 to 5 job to give up everything you want in life? You complain too early and too openly about your hardships that everybody tries to talk you out of them. So you give up on your dreams. Talk about the success, talk about the hardships after you've already made it so you can inspire other people to take chances on themselves.
