that is kind of a vindictive way to say "never give up", but it is true. When i started my business, my father (a successful man in his own right) told me that the industry was a failure, I would never succeed in it, and to not waste my money. 2 years later I have a successful start-up. Every time it got hard I would think about my dad and how he said i was wrong to even try, and while that did not motivate me to try harder, it did give me a reason not to give up prematurely.

INSTANT MBA: Use The Negative Predictions Of Others To Fuel Your Business
We all need a fire to fuel us, and using negative predictions and turning it around on them is what any good entrepreneur would do. Going against the grain and starting a business when everyone says the economy is bad is an example. Sometimes you got to go against the herd if you want to be truly successful.

INSTANT MBA: Use The Negative Predictions Of Others To Fuel Your Business I agree with the quote "Instead of letting the harsh words bring you down, use them to drive you further." Often times you will have people to tell you that you can not to a certain thing or you will never make it without them, do not let those words get you down because God is the author and the finisher of your faith. All you have to do is channel that negative energy and negative thought in a positive mannner and watch how everything falls in line. Never let a negative person dictate your faith.

Many people make comments about your place of employment or business. These comments can be negative and positive. And most of the time the negative ones will get you down. Do not let them get you down. Let the negative ones allow you to have your company grow, therefore the ones that are making the nasty comments, can see that you will not let anything get in your way of having a thriving company.

INSTANT MBA: Use The Negative Predictions Of Others To Fuel Your Business
If somebody tells you that your business will never succeed you must understand them then prove them wrong! When somebody doubts your ability I get something done it makes you sometimes want to get it done to the best of your ability just to show that it can be made. So a little bad criticism is never bad for the business.

Not all the advice or opinions that people tell you will be what you want to hear. But you yourself make the decision whether it will make or break you. Take other peoples opinions into consideration when it comes to running your business but do not let it ruin or discourage you. Take the bad opinions and what people think of you and turn it around and let it drive you to work even harder. Nothing is more satisfying than proving the people who said you would fail wrong.

Never let someone discourage you from what you believe in. This article relates to another article about a lady named Kathleen who founded a bakery with two other partners, who later booted her out of the partnership. She ended up becoming highly successful, while the other company closed. When Barbara Corcoran's husband said, "Youll never succeed without me", she could have let these hurtful words get to her, but she didnt. She used them as fuel to her fire that ended up making her a millionaire.

This link talks about not letting people's negative words bring you down. Corcoran did not let her ex-husband's words defeat her but they strengthened her. When people don't see your ideas as they would like to see them they will say negative things about them. The goal is to work hard even if you think you have the perfect idea and never give up. There will be hurdles when starting out on your own the key is to not give in into the negative and move towards the positive.

There will always be people who have something negative to say about what you are doing or how you are doing it. It is important to use these criticisms in an effective manor as you would with feedback. Use people's negative outlooks as a reason to prove them wrong and show how great you can do, despite what they say. It always feels good when you are able to prove someone wrong and achieve what they said you would not be able to.

In my experience, there will always be someone around that does not want you to succeed. This can be very disheartening at times, especially for me. I just do not understand why anyone would want someone to fail. However, you cannot let what people say or think get you down. You have to have faith in yourself and passion in what you are doing. If you are constantly worried about who said what about you, then you will never be able to focus on your success and/or future. Therefore, use these types of situations as a boost to succeed.

INSTANT MBA: Use The Negative Predictions Of Others To Fuel Your Business
This author gives some good advice. We can all remember negative comments of others who are probably envious of us in some way, shape, or form, and we can remember the sting of such comments. However, if we take those words an let them make us more determined to prove ourselves to the negative people, we are much better off emotionally as well as financially, according to this author. Sometimes negative remarks can be just the fuel we need to get us angry enough to make us more determined than ever to prove others wrong! As my mom use to tell my brother in me as we were growing up: We have enough people in this world to bring us down, it's up to US to bring and keep ourselves UP! This author proves this philosophy works even in the business world.

Everyone needs something to motivate them to allow their business to prosper. The easiest way for some to get over the hump is by channeling negativity from others into positive work. I believe some of the most driven people derive their sense of motivation from other people. I know I do this as well. Once someone tells you that you cannot do something your entire mindset switches. From that point on you are driven to prove that person wrong and make a point. So instead of retreating from negative comments you should embrace them and show others how they were wrong about you.

Business can be similar to life at times. When someone tells me they don't think I will be able to do something; that is all the motivation I need to actually get it done. I feel like I must do it now to prove them wrong and show them I can do it. The same goes for a business. When others think you will fail, it is motivation to prove them wrong and succeed. It is important to brush negativity off and use it positively to make your company successful.

Great article to inspire new entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs that are having a tough time. Barbara Corcoran was inspired by the negativity of her ex-husband and it made her try harder and become tougher in a business aspect. More entrepreneurs should use the negative comments and make them become the drive to success. Look in yourself to become a better business owner and the flaws will work themselves out. Everyone has flaws in business, just remember to use the negative to fuel the positive.
