Don't be that kind of wishywashy

2 replies
Ever have a business opinion...

... one that isn't highly popular?

Ever get an insane urge to see if it works?

Well.

There comes a time in every marketer's life where you simply HAVE to stop listening to the roaring droning noise out there...

... and stand your ground to see if something works *for you*.

I just experienced something like that in a group I run....

Someone tried to shame me for standing up for what I believe.

To that, I say "decaf coffee for you!".

Fact is, you will never make everyone happy....

... so don't try to. Zero in on your message so people who love you, stick by you....

... and people who don't... well, they then don't waste your time.

Here's a good article about that:

Your takeway?

Be you! Nobody else can be you as well as you can.

    With being a successful Entrepreneur, I think you summed that up perfectly. No matter what you do in life (and especially when you start becoming successful) there will always be (let's call them) "Detractors." The most important thing (like you mentioned) is you focus on the people that appreciate your efforts.

    Stay cool barbling. : )
