She added that public validation, where everybody will applaud you for what you do, is not something that is going to put money in anybody’s pocket.
Toke Makinwa shared this piece of advice on her Twitter handle.
No one can ever please everyone, and it will be a waste of time to be looking out for validation from everyone when you set out to do something profitable for yourself.
In any case, what everyone validates would necessarily not help you achieve any success or make you any money.
You just have to do what you know is best for you to achieve your success even if your chosen venture isn’t that popular enough, Toke Makinwa admonished in the tweet.
“Have the courage to be disliked, public validation does not put money in your pocket. Your lane might not be popular but you are living your truth and that’s so much more than a lot of people in the crowd can boast of. Do YOU,” she wrote.
