I am a fan of constructive criticism

** You need some level of resilience. ** Isn't the whole point of the inventor journey to figure it out. ** The metric for me isn't necessarily success. It is voice and mission. ** Why did you start on this journey? ** The Pet Rock analogy. ** You need a mission and a purpose. ** Even if I won the lottery, I would still do what I am doing now. ** Criticism is a natural extension of success. ** I still have my Pet Rock. ** Pool Noodles and Pet Rocks. ** Are you really telling me that you think the Pet Rock was a genius idea? ** Is making money the definition of a successful product or brand? ** What is your mission? Older vs. younger entrepreneurial mindset. ** An instant traction product is very rare. ** Most people bank on being lucky. ** People think it is easy because they have been influenced by theory and bad advice. ** Influencers exist because of the love/hate relationship and the criticism. ** Criticism can ruin your night. You need the drive and resilience. ** You will get criticism. What you do with the criticism is up to you. ** I wish some successful clients shared their struggles as well as their successes. ** When you are at your lowest low you know how bad you want to continue. ** Team dynamics and solo entrepreneurs. ** You have to decide to keep going or to close it down. ** If you are not sure get data and feedback. ** What makes it worth it to you? ** All the formulaic advice from theory consultants have metrics tilted towards failure. ** Don't go down the paid route until you have all your information lined up. ** You should get ROI on every dollar spent. ** You have a fixed amount of resources. What is the best spend to get progress? ** Use criticism as a driver and a look back mechanism. ** Peoplease discount code for all your HR needs.
