Never Listen to the Naysayers

You have a dream and you know what it takes to accomplish that goal.

No one said it was going to be easy. I guarantee that there will be many obstacles along the way. Along with those obstacles, there will be many people who will try to bring you down.

Some of them mean well but unfortunately, they will not support your vision.

The amazing thing is the ones that doubt you the most are the ones that are closest to you. They can be your best friends, your parents, even your spouse. Usually their advice is just simply not do whatever it is you’re planning. They will set up all the excuses for you. They will tell you the timing is bad, the location is wrong, the economy is bad and nobody will buy what you’re selling.

The first step is to understand that achieving great success will be difficult but most important it will be worth it. The most important thing is you must believe in yourself and your abilities. If you have any self doubt, the naysayers will jump right in on that. No matter how difficult it is, you have to learn to tune them out or keep them out. Most of them think they have your best interest in mind but the reality is their negativity will only do you harm.

When the naysayers start speaking negatively, the first thing you must ask yourself “Are these people in life were you want to be?” 99% of the time the answer is no. I guarantee you they have not done anything even close to what you want to accomplish.
When someone criticizes you or tries to rain on your parade, it’s never about you. It’s always about them. You’re out of their comfort zone and they don’t like it.If you listen to the naysayers, you will never achieve your dreams.

You have a dream and you must clearly define the dream. It’s important to understand why you are doing it. Your dream matters.

So going forward, understand it’s important to surround yourself with positive people. You will become who you surround yourself with. If you surround yourself with people who are going after their dreams, overcoming their fears and developing their skills, you will do the same.
Success involves taking risks. It cannot be avoided. Learn to embrace and enjoy taking risks. Be willing to fail. Get over the fear of failure. Go out and make it happen and fail quickly so you can correct your mistakes and make progress.
Make a commitment to take daily action towards achieving your goals. There is power in Success Habits.

Your dream is alive! Don’t let anybody steal your dream. Surround yourself with people that are going to encourage you and lift you up. Success is right around the corner waiting for you. Never allow anyone to talk you out of it.

Happy Selling,
