What Others Think of You Is None of Your Business – And Why You Shouldn’t Care Anyway
Why do some people make it in their online businesses or in reaching their life goals, in general?
One reason is they don’t care what others think of them. Not to say they are hardhearted, disconnnected or lacking in compassion. Far from it – they care deeply. Unless you care deeply for others, you will not succeed in this business, because it is the love of other people that will catapult you to the top.
But to not care what others think is critical. If someone is just getting out of the starting gate in online marketing – most likely the people closest to them and even total strangers will demand they get back inside that gate and not dare to try to unlock it. It’s similar to the diet saboteurs who seem to come out of nowhere with fattening foods and temptations, the moment someone tries to improve their health and weight by eating differently. People try to keep things the same – including their friends, family and strangers. Change is frightening and the average person is almost a zealot when it comes to trying to keep those around them the same. If they change, they might upset the entire worldview of the other – and that is frightening to many.
The successful person is driven and knows intuitively to ignore these voices, no matter how loud they are. They are willing to let those who do not want to change stay where they are. They are compassionate towards then, they do not trample them, but they are unafraid to go forward and to ignore their insistence that they remain in the status quo. They break away from the herd and pursue their dream or passion -whatever it is.
They also know that dreams alone are not enough to get where they want to go. They change – and in business they realize that personal growth and development is 90% of the ingredients needed for their success. If a decision must be made between watching TV and developing themselves intellectually, physically, emotionally or spiritually, they choose the latter. This may be unacceptable to the peers, but they push forward anyhow, knowing they must tread this path to get where they want to be. And they go with a passion; they give themselves the permission that others would deny them.
Personal development – what does it mean? All the inspirational speakers, authors or “new” ideas are not at all “new.” They are as old as the human race, they are biblical and haven’t changed an iota over the centuries. It doesn’t matter where the person begins, they will always return to these same principles if they are to succeed.
They must be willing to do whatever they have to do, without harming another. They realize that giving it all away is the only way to keep any of it. They put others needs before their own, knowing however that unless they have spent the time growing themselves, they cannot meet the needs of others. They “love their neighbors, as they love themselves” not MORE than they love themselves. Loving themselves gives them them capacity to love others. It is an eternal paradox – but it never fails.
Only those who walked their own road, ignoring the protests of others that they turn around, will make it. And they will find others who have heard the same call, but they will never be afraid to step out on their own and honor their own instincts. These are the characteristics not only of those who succeed in their own lives, but those who have changed the world.
Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for beginner blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; we have created some nice practices and we are looking to trade solutions with other folks, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Cheers
In fact, sales of ugg outlet black and brown are comparable, dark lines also did not expect so hot.
Made from white alligator chanel uk and featuring the double-C clasp in 18-carat with gold encrusted with over 300 3.56-carat diamonds, only 13 bags were available worldwide, making it possibly the most exclusive – as well as luxurious-2.55 ever made.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Cheers!
Hey! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group? There’s a lot of people that I think would really enjoy your content. Please let me know. Cheers
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Pretty! This has been an incredibly wonderful post. Many thanks for supplying this information.
This design is incredible! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
The crux of your writing whilst sounding agreeable at first, did not sit very well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I still have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do nicely to help fill in all those breaks. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I will undoubtedly be amazed.
