It bugs me when I hear this. Your post is interesting, inspiring & contains very applicable advice. It will be very valuable to a lot of people.
When people say "stop bragging" it usually translates into "stop making me jealous". It's not your look-out to cater your writing to those that don't want to hear about the results of hard work.
There will always be those that will explain others achievements away as talent or point to luck or resources.
Please continue to be open & write for the majority who will appreciate the assistance and use it as motivation to step towards building their own successes.
- josscrowcroft 14y agoTo be fair - many people who write this kind of post are - shall we say - a little detached from reality. I'm thinking of the yet-another-lifestyle-design-blog set, with their badly designed and poorly written ebooks, explaining how to 'live the dream' by writing an ebook and selling it to other, aspiring, lifestyle-designers. Hence I felt I should point out that I liked this post because it's nothing like the ones I just mentioned :)
