You brush your shoulders off and move forward.

I think age is no problem. Try again and hope your family will support you.

Cut their ass off and never speak to them again.

If they don't respect you now, they will never respect you

I put my sight back onto God. I serve God. I don’t serve my parents. Their judgments or comments may be hurtful but it’s not what defines you.

Keep going. We live and we learn. Take time to lean into any learning opportunities. You are not defined by this failure. Unless you allow this failure to define you and you stay in it. Transform this. Give it to God and transform it into something good. 🙏

You don't fail until you give up. The road to success is generally paved with failures. How many tries did it take to invent the light bulb? As an entrepreneur, people may doubt you. Ignore them.

You only fail when you give up.

Keep at it brother or sister.

What are you talking about you haven’t failed your only 35 the race is long my friend you have so many more prime working years. If you have to get a job for a while build up some Capitol come up with something else and bam now your an entrepreneur again instead of a “failed” one

You didn't fail, you are 35. Just try again.

Even if its fail, you still love what you do!!!

What humiliation? Only when you quit, can you fail.

[–] Analyst-Effective@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There is no such thing as a failed entrepreneur.

And entrepreneur gets up and tries again

Sorry to hear this. Setbacks don't define you. It's okay not to have everything figured out at the moment. Try opening up to your family about what you've learned from the experience and your plans moving forward. People often appreciate honesty and resilience. Also keep pushing forward, and you might surprise everyone, including yourself.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. You're not even past the middle at 35yo.

To be honest I much rather try and fail, than lay in my bed and thinking what if. Finding a normal 9-5 job, with a lot of overtime is always easy. Don't let anyone talk you down, especially bad thoughts our minds create
