INSTANT MBA: Use The Negative Predictions Of Others To Fuel Your Business
I believe that one part of doing a good job at something is the process of developing those who think you will fail and want you to fail, in order to say “I told you so” and in some cases laugh. Using this negative tension to your advantage can be key in keeping a strong attitude towards your business. A persons opinion is all but that; an opinion. An opinion will not keep you from receiving a profit from your services, unless you let it happen.

INSTANT MBA: Use The Negative Predictions Of Others To Fuel Your Business
Anytime anyone tells me that I can not do something, that is all the motivation I need to do it, and do it better. I think it is great that the author of the article took her ex-husband's harsh words, and used them to prove a point. My mom constantly criticizes the fact that I chose to pursue a business degree. She tells me that I will never make any money by opening my own business. Because of this, it is my life's goal to open up a highly successful and lucrative business. So, take the advice of the article, and anytime anyone puts you down or strikes you with negative predictions, use it in a positive way to fuel your success.

Woah drama!!!! Haha anyway, yeah this is a good motivational article. This bring me back to that article that says that you’re not suppose to get emotions involved……...bologna! I rest my case. Back to the article at hand. Great success story and I’m sure her husband wasn’t too happy with her success. This proves that emotion, maybe not always, can spur passion, which in return lead to success.

This is definitely true for me. Nothing makes someone want to do something more than being told not to do it. As soon as you hear a negative opinion, all you can think is you have to prove that person wrong. And if you think about it enough, and let it drive you enough, than you will succeed from sheer will power.

You will always face criticism in everything you do. Especially in starting your own business. A lot of it comes from envy that they couldn't or haven't started their own company. People can be very cruel to others who are in better situations then they are in. All you can do is surround yourself with people who genuinely care for you and do you best to make your business succeed.

INSTANT MBA: Every Leader Should Get A 360-Degree Performance Review
Good leaders are the ones that are constantly trying to make themselves better. When a leader stops putting him or herself under the microscope, they can bet that will be when they stop being successful. Nobody is perfect and the smartest most successful people are usually the ones willing to not only admit that but effectively striving to improve themselves.

This article is good. When someone says negative things, strive harder to show them just the opposite. You don't need other peoples confidence to boost your own. I know as a person that's exactly how I would be also. If someone says to me, you can't do it, I'm more determined than ever to show them I can. This is a good idea. Use negative comments to make you try even harder to be successful.

These negative predictions can be inspiration as well as a great way to gather feedback where you need to change and grow. It is an opportunity to look at why they are making the negative predictions and see if you need to make adjustments to your style.I know in my own life I can't stand when people tell me i can't do something. When someone says that, it makes me work that much harder to prove them wrong. Anytime I think about giving up on a project, I just think about anytime someone said i wasn't good enough or I couldn't do something, and it gives me the will to keep going. You should never let anyone get you down before you even start.

People will always say negative things to try to bring you down. Ignore the negative things others tell you and try to prove them wrong. If someone says you will never be able to run your own business then you should prove them wrong. Everyone is capable of being successful so don't give up until you are. Success is made by people who have a will to be successful. Just remember to never give up!

This article gives good advice about negative comments made towards you. Instead of taking those comments to heart, use them as motivation. Those comments can add fuel to the fire that motivates you. It's my personal dream to open my own restaurant. Every time I tell someone that is what my goal is, they tell me I shouldn't because it's too hard, you have to devote your whole life to it, almost all of them fail. I just take these opinions and use them as motivation. I want to prove them all wrong.

Negative emotions and attitudes from peers, family, and friends can be motivation to keep going during tough situations. They can be used as fuel, to keep going and prove everyone wrong. As Corcoran says in the article, just when she was ready to quit and give up everything, her ex-husband's negative words rang in her ears, and she used that as her fuel to keep going. Never let them see you fail.

One of the strongest motivators to most people is the perception of others. We constantly are judge and characterized by society, and when that is negative, it can be a great motivator to doing something about it. Whether it is business, or your personal life such as weight loss, when someone tells you that you are going to fail, nine times out of ten people use that as a motivator to push themselves. I personally think that these stories are so inspirational and help me to push myself as well.

Using bad and negative predictions to fuel yourself is an amazing feeling. I actually enjoy when someone tells me i can not do something. When they tell me i can not succeed at a task i push my self harder. It motivates people to want to do what is unexpected.

Negative opinions used as a motivator remind me of some late-game pep talks from coaches. Better than that, the taunts of the opposing team were fuel to the fire, the “rally cap” effect, to throw the ball a little harder, to hit someone a little harder, to play a little more stout defense. The desire to prove a doubter wrong can reignite the best motivator—belief in oneself.

I really like the aspect of taking negative comments and making them fuel your fire to be stronger. By people putting negative predictions on you and the work you can do, it can bog you down; but it can also be used as a motivational tool that can push you to heights. Someone saying you will fail is deterrent to failing.
