Summary

Biggest Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss:

Criticism—it’s inevitable as an online marketer and business owner. As an entrepreneur I’ve come across my fair share.
You’ll run into your own criticism at some point (if you haven’t already!) and yes, it may get uncomfortable. So I want you to be prepared for it.
Today I’m sharing with you my three-point approach to dealing with criticism in a graceful way (and saving your sanity and overall well-being).
In the end, it’s all about how you face it. With the right strategies you can actually turn criticism into something powerful (15:19) for you and your business. It can even change HOW you do business.

When you are building your online business, you’re opening yourself up to a completely different world for feedback (in contrast to say, the corporate realm). And the fact is that total strangers may be giving you “input.” It can be daunting in the beginning, however if you can learn to face this feedback without taking it personal, then you will become that much stronger of an entrepreneur. Let’s check out those tips now.

Check out these highlights:

Trolls are the worst, and you have to learn to deal with them. But what about when it’s from your audience, your clients, your students? [5:17]
That one time I tried to make up for a “mistake” with a disgruntled fan and how it went very, very wrong. [6:13]
How two of my students handled a flood of negative comments… [12:16]
Sometimes criticism can actually be really helpful- depending on the delivery. [15:50]
What I actually learned after that horrible experience dealing with criticism (and what I do now). [16:44]
What about when you want to give feedback? [17:56]
