Learn to define success in your own right and not on the might of others. Success is whatever you want it to be and not what the society or your village people assume it should be. If they complain that you talk too much, allow them, talk is free and it's your mouth not theirs. If it leads you to failure then it's your mistake not theirs. Own it! It's bad to keep too many companies and friends, they say... But don't be bothered, it's your life not theirs, if they lead you astray, go astray and find your way back. Learn the lesson yourself. If they say you spend too much, it's your money, you worked hard for it. Don't feel bad for spending your own money. Don't accept their advise, you didn't hire them to be your financial adviser, if you needed their expert advise, you'd have hired them, but you didn't because they are poor and insignificant and so is their opinion. Their opinion doesn't matter. Isn't it fun...
