Ask Yourself This: How Do You React to Naysayers?

May 15th, 2008 | Posted in News by lordtime | del.icio.us! | digg! | reddit!

Having naysayers around can be both a good thing and a bad thing when it comes to building your career. Anyone’s career building goals are bound to take a hit when someone comes around saying ‘It won’t work,’ or ‘I can see a thousand reasons why this isn’t a good idea.’ What happens next, however, is completely up to you. A negative attitude isn’t necessarily a bad thing; if anything, it can be a boon to your career building efforts if you react to the feedback in a good and encouraging way.

Here are three questions to ask yourself when a naysayer comes a-callin’:

1. Am I so passionately and emotionally connected to my vision in life that this person’s thoughts, which are completely logical and sensible, offend me to the point that I do not want to hear him or her out?

2. Do I trust this person enough to place value in her or his assessment of my career building efforts?

3. Is my vision in life so dramatically different from his or hers that he or she sees only negative things for me, and therefore, her or his comments should be taken by me with a pillar of salt?

A good, healthy attitude towards one’s vision of life and career objectives is a good thing. Click here to read about how my book, Bring Your Vision to Life, can help the career building visionary develop a healthier attitude towards naysayers.
