My Romance Writer brand
receives death threats
at least once a week.
When I had my email
attached to this blog,
I received death threats daily.
When I posted
on financial forums,
I received so many death threats;
I had filters on my email system
placing those messages
automatically into a folder.
If you’re female
and you’re fortunate
to become successful,
you WILL be hated.
Why?
Financial control
is the easiest way
to ensure someone does
exactly
what you want them
to do.
Once someone
becomes powerful,
they can’t be
as easily controlled financially.
That bothers abusers
and manipulators.
It especially bothers people
who see other groups
as being theirs to manipulate.
You will anger
these abusive people
when you become successful.
You will lose them
as so-called friends.
They’ll likely claim
you’ve become
‘too big for your boots’
or ‘a stuck up b*tch.’
They’ll say
you’ve ‘changed.’
And you HAVE changed.
You’re stronger
and they can no longer
manipulate you.
Focus on the people
who are happy for you,
the people who cheer for you
and for other powerful women.
And be wary
of people who have a history
of hating successful women.
They are unlikely
to cheer for you.
