Yes, you’re looking at a lot of work for little immediate gain, but this is the price to you pay for getting in on the ground floor of a future flourishing enterprise.
A co-worker realizes that you were right all along. Thankfully it’s not too late to work together to get things back on track and make up for lost time.
You fulfilled your part of the bargain and now it’s up to others to fulfill theirs. Don’t let yourself get talked into taking on anything new until they do.
You may not see it, but you are contributing to the one-upmanship. Get a grip on that ego you profess not to have.
Don’t assume that the person poking holes in your dreams knows any better than you do. Envy is often the culprit behind others’ criticisms. Stand up for what you want.
If something’s over, then why do you keep calling? You can’t act like you’re in when you say that you’re out. Choose one or the other.
