You have an idea, or vision, that you're passionate enough to move, learn, chase, fall, get back up, and continue to chase. This is so much more important that the Technical or Marketing knowledge that so many people have. Its something to be intimidated by, even if you're the worlds greatest Marketer or Full Stack Developer. Finding an idea you're passionate about is infinitely harder than learning skills required to make that happen. Most people's reaction to seeing that is a sense of inadequacy in their own life, which leads to jealousy & some "advice" that is meant solely to make you question your cause....bring you down to their level, and impart a feeling of superiority in themselves again.

How hard was/is it to decipher advice from jealousy?
