Dealing with the Dark side of business criticism and failure

Shane Gibson on Critics and FansIf you’re out there taking risks as a sales professional, or you’re promoting a vision for your community, there’s a good chance you’re being criticized.  In fact the more you do often the more visible you are, and this equates to more opportunities to create opposition.

You may be a business leader that’s transforming an industry, a teacher who does things differently in the classroom, or a blogger that pours your heart out for the world to see.

Today’s podcast is about you, and how you can tackle this challenge.

- Namaste :)

    What a great discussion. There is no question that with success, criticism will follow from others. As a matter of fact, criticism should be regarded as a sign of success.

    Shane, I ended here through John Chow’s twitter, and I’m glad I did. I enjoyed the discussion, as I consider criticism to be the key to success. If everybody agrees with you, or worst, if you agree with everybody, you’ll never stand out.
    Thank you.

    @Leo Completely! We need to fine tune or message and mission and stick to it. It’s all about resonating with what you want to attract.
