I started my business unknown, but I will finish it unforgettable

That is right, I started my business unknown, but I will finish it unforgettable. No one knew that I managed a small business. I keep it a secret. They cannot see me at the mall where my business is located, so I hired two staff to manage my milk tea, since I have work. When I started to market my milk tea business on media, specifically on Facebook, there were only a very few who congratulated me; others never cared. This time, it became famous in the mall and still never congratulated me. That's the attitude of some individuals, despite they are your friends, but are insanely envious. They have to know, for now, that I never care about them. They will only see me doing what's best for my life.

Congratulations on your business... It is good to know it is doing well... Yup, sometimes strangers care more about your business than your friends and family...

Yes , I can relate. Someone you know didn't care about your success. I hope that your business will live longer.

@cabuyogty there are people like that. Instead of congratulating us, they never care as if the business does not exist.

@cabuyogty I feel happy when I see my friend being successful. Some people have a cruel heart.

That’s such a powerful mindset—quiet hustle, loud results. You built something from scratch, kept your head down, and let your success speak for itself. That’s no small thing, especially while juggling a day job and running a business behind the scenes.
And yes, not everyone will cheer you on—sometimes even those you expect to. But that’s their issue, not yours. Envy shows up loud when success becomes visible. What matters is you kept moving, kept building, and stayed focused on your path. You don’t need applause to keep going—you’ve already proven that. Keep doing your thing. The results will always speak louder than the silence.

@rsa101 Thank you so much for inspiring me, it is hard to have a business and at the same time work. I hired two staff and the mall where my milk tea business is located is near the university where I work. It is just a walking distance.

@youless I also blocked many of my Facebook friends almost 200 of them. I don't their arrogance and attitude. They kept on boasting and if they're outsmarted they stabbed you in the back. I'm selling milk tea in the mall. I acquired it through franchising.

Congratulate you? On the business or that it is successful? Or both. You think they are envious of your success?

@celticeagle maybe they cannot believe that I have started a small business in the mall.

@celticeagle agree they have grab mentality. They will remain losers.
