Don’t Let Anyone Talk You Out Of Your Dreams- By Elora Akpotosevbe

The reason people try to derail you or discourage you from your career path is because they feel you are never going to make it. Especially when you have been in that business for too long and they seem to be no headway.

Is ok, let them think that way.

I remembered when I had blogged for about 2 years, and I had applied for Google AdSense but I didn’t get an approval, it was as if I was just blogging for fun. My aunt kept asking questions like if this blogging it’s not going to pay you, why not start designing clothes, she meant (tailoring), she says I like fashion. But hello, just because someone likes good food doesn’t necessarily mean they should become a Caterer.

She started discouraging me, trying to talk me out of my dreams, I didn’t relent.

I was actually turned down by Google thrice, which really discouraged me, but you know what? I started my blog all over again thrice, I had to learn what i was doing wrongly, I read the letter properly. And guess what, I got it the fourth time.

I learnt to be original and create my own content from that experiences.

And I am glad I never gave up.

Elon Musk once said “Never give up, you can be grinding for 4 years with no results, and on the 5th year become the biggest thing in the planet. The power of never giving up is real”.

I totally agree with him.
