Silencing the Inner Critic: How to Deal with Negative People on Your Entrepreneurial Journey
Ready to embrace your entrepreneurial calling? Amazing! But as you step into this exciting new chapter, be prepared to encounter naysayers and negativity. Consider this your blueprint for building a "hater game plan" and silencing that inner critic.
1. Arm Yourself with a "Negative People Mantra"
Words have power. When negativity creeps in, combat it with a powerful quote, verse, or affirmation that resonates with you. Here are a few to get you started:
Embrace the Arena: "It is not the critic who counts...but the man who is actually in the arena..." (Teddy Roosevelt)
Spiritual Armor: Find strength in verses like Ephesians 6:10-18, personalizing them to feel even more potent. ("I put on the full armor of God...")
Create Your Own: Craft a mantra that speaks directly to your fears and doubts, reminding you of your strength and purpose.
2. Enlist a Battle Buddy
Navigating the entrepreneurial world can feel lonely, especially when facing negativity. Find a "battle buddy" – someone who understands your struggles and celebrates your wins.
Join a Community: Connect with fellow aspiring coaches in online groups or local meetups.
Share Your Journey: Open up about your challenges and triumphs. Knowing you're not alone can make all the difference.
3. Seek Guidance from a Mentor
A mentor who's been there, done that can provide invaluable support and perspective.
Find Someone a Step Ahead: Look for a coach or entrepreneur who's successfully navigated the transition you're making.
Gain Clarity and Confidence: A mentor can help you see your blind spots, challenge your assumptions, and make sound decisions.
With a powerful mantra, a supportive battle buddy, and a wise mentor by your side, you can overcome negativity and confidently pursue your dreams.
