Summary

Let’s face it, when you put new creative ideas into the world few people understand it. Others may reject it. Overall it’s likely you’ll be met with resistance. That’s ok.

In this episode, we talk about how to navigate these waters. Whether these folks are your loved ones or cynics trying to tamp down your dreams. If we need rocket fuel for our dreams to achieve escape velocity, the cynics in our lives turn on the fire suppression systems and keep us trapped by Earth’s gravity. In a previous episode I spoke about auditing your inner circle, but that's not always possible. In that case, how do we get them on board? Let's get into it.

Enjoy!

1:00.8	They might even understand what you're trying to do.
1:03.7	That has to be okay.
1:05.2	It may be outright rejected, even by most of your audience, whether that's a million or whether that's 10 people, it doesn't
1:13.3	matter. It's likely that you're going to be met with resistance. And what I want to be clear about
1:19.9	is that is okay. Not only is it okay, it's actually part of the process. You should get used to it
1:25.8	and you should build that muscle.
1:29.6	And today's show is really about not just the muscle and getting used to that, getting
1:37.4	up as a sort of tolerance, a thick skin, understanding that that's part of the process, but
1:42.5	specifically how to deal with people
1:45.6	in our lives, sometimes even people very close to us who might fall into that camp because,
1:52.7	you know, the people closest to us often have the, you know, the largest impact. And when we're
1:57.3	getting negative messages or when these are the people that don't get it, it can
