People will always try to put you down.
I recently took some calls from headhunters. I am 27 years old, and don't - on paper - have a huge amount of experience. My CV is good, but I'm young, and they know it. As a self-employed person I'm doing very well, but these people know that a multinational wouldn't match what I'm earning now. The upshot is that they keep trying to convince me that I'm worth less than I am, so they can fix me up with some rubbish job and take their poxy commission.
The gist of my message, is that almost EVERYBODY has some hidden agenda or ulterior motive for making you feel less than great about yourself. That's why you, and only you, can make that change. And I wish you all the best. I tell you what, I felt fantastic when I made that realisation. It's mindboggling how people are almost scared of seeing other people be successful, or hoping for better things for themselves. What the hell are they scared of? Their own regrets in not going for it themselves?
