You start with passion.You expect your friends to support you. Maybe not by buying — but at least by sharing, referring, showing up. But instead.you hear nothing. They'll hype viral creators they don't know. They’ll share quotes from people they’ve never met. But won’t repost your work. Won’t recommend your service. And might even ask for “special pricing” — on something you’ve poured your time, energy, and skills into. You start questioning your value. You wonder if you’re even cut out for this. But here's the truth I’ve learned: Your friends are not your ideal clients. And your growth is not dependent on their validation. You’re building this for the solopreneur who’s struggling to market themselves. For the startup that needs visibility but doesn’t know where to begin. For the small business owner who sees your service as a solution, not a favor. Because when strangers start saying “I needed this,” Keep showing up. Keep building. The right people will find you — and value you.
