When Someone Tells You That You CAN NOT Be Successful

What do you do when someone criticizes you or tells you that you won't be successful in your business?

Unfortunately sometimes the people who say this to you are family members and friends and it can be a real downer and sometimes it can make you want to quit. In fact many do quit before they ever even get started because of one or two negative comments.

Let's look at the facts here...

The truth is EVERYONE CAN be successful in a legitimate business if they want it and are willing to work at it. The real reason that some people may talk negatively or steal your dreams is because at some point in their life they let negative self-doubt creep into their lives. Many times they reject success and get the mentality that they could never do it so in their minds others can't do it either.

There really is a simple solution to this problem.

First... Never ever ever ever try to persuade or talk that person into changing their mind because they won't.

Second... Just smile and keep a positive attitude. Tell the person that you value their opinion but that you ARE going to be successful and you would appreciate their support but they don't have to.

Third...Then the next thing to do is just ignore and let the negative vibes and words just pass you by. Move on and spend more time with people who will lift you up and encourage you.

Over time as you ARE successful, you may see that some of these people turn around and change their opinions and if they do great. If they don't that's fine as well. At the end of the day only YOU can control your success

...and YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL!

As you’re working your business, there will be times when you’ll wonder whether what you are doing is working. Sometimes you’ll get immediate results, but most of the time it won’t happen that way.

Marketing is not a one-time effort.  It’s important to be consistent in marketing. Often what you did weeks, months, or even years ago pays off.  It should become part of who you are. To stay motivated, it is imperative to know “your big why.”
