Treat feedback as neutral information, not judgment of your worth. Separate yourself from your business so criticism doesn't sting. Be selective about whose opinions matter: seek advice from people whose experience aligns with your goals, and ignore irrelevant voices like random Instagram commenters.
It's not easy sometimes to get feedback and we gave you
some very real, honest feedback. You would ask us straightforward and in all honesty, I used to avoid that. I truly believe and know that feedback is neutral. It doesn't mean anything about who I am. I think it's really important for entrepreneurs to know that you are over here, your business is over here. You are not the same thing. I'm also extremely careful about who I ask for feedback because I would obviously ask you guys, but I'm not going to listen to Sandra, no offense to Sandra's out there on Instagram who aren't doing what I want to do because their 2 cents is not going to get me where I want to go. What about
the data that you get that doesn't feel like a fit, even if it's from the mentor that you feel is important?
I have a rule of three for feedback. So if I hear something three times, then it's really important for me to sit with it and assess whether this is perhaps true and how I'm showing up at least even if it's not how I'm perceiving myself. And I sit with it and I try it on, but I don't need to go implement everything. I think that shiny object syndrome and you get derailed from really your zone of genius.
