It’s because they are motivated, curious, and they are following their passion.

I work almost 15 hours per day.

I write blog posts, I design social media posts, I read blogs and books, and I help young hustlers by answering their DM on Instagram and some time on a phone call.

Yes, I do a lot of work, but I don’t feel like I’m working. It’s because I’m motivated, and I’m passionate.

Lots of people are tired of trying to find their passion.

We know the power of the internet and our generation knows how to use the internet.

The Internet is full of opportunities. You can learn anything for free using the internet. Every learning resources are available for free.

13. Your Parents Will Support You.

Some parents will support and motivate their children when they are going to start an online business.

But I’m sorry to say that some parents will demotivate their children!

Especially Indian parents, because they don’t know anything about online business. They have no idea about what is an online business.

So at first, built skills, learn more about the business that you want to develop.

If possible, find a mentor and then try to convince your parents. Try everything to persuade them.

I’m from a middle-class Indian family. So, I know how difficult it is to convince Indian parents, but it’s not an impossible task.

If your parents can see your passion and dedication towards your dreams, your parents will allow you to do what you want to do.

Sometimes It’s not easy to convince them, but keep patience and educate them. Obviously, they don’t know anything about online business, show them some examples and show them your work or your business plan.

If they are willing to give you a bike to waste your precious time, why not they could give you some time to follow your passion?
