^ This post is a classic example of why it's so hard to be an entrepreneur. No matter what mountain you climb, there will always be people yelling that you don't deserve the success, or that anyone could have climbed that mountain, or that you should stop climbing mountains right now lest you "empty the downtown core". Always another brickbat.

That's just silly. You aren't going to get anywhere in life spouting "haters gonna hate" ad nauseum.

The comment has some very compelling points to consider. None of us, and nothing we create is so beyond constructive criticism that intelligent contrary opinions can be rejected outright.

You may have had a tough day, but god help us all if we start believing our own bullshit 24/7.

Huh? Entrepreneurs deal with lots of very difficult challenges. Haters are unpleasant, but not really a "challenge".
