Success is personal (and it has to be). You'll always find people to say you're wrong, you can't succeed, it's a dumb idea, etc.

But success only comes from being relentless, believing in yourself, and pressing on regardless of any barriers (perceived or real) that may be in your way.

 Yeah, just keep going. Don't let yourself be intimidated or disuaded. Last one standing wins.
