So let me ask you a question. Do you have somebody in your life that doesn't believe in your dreams? You know, maybe they don't believe in your ability to create the life you want and deserve for yourself and your family. They might even make fun of it or ridicule it because you want more out of life. See, that's the topic of this week's own your power clip. And that's the power that comes from effectively dealing with the naysays in your life, really even the haters. And we also spent time on this at my boot camp, of course, so you can get past this with those people. And by the way, I've had thousands of people attend my two-day online virtual boot camp with rave reviews. In fact, the only complaint we ever get is that the brakes are too short because I'm trying to pack in so much information into those 16 to 18 hours. I don't sell anything there either. So the next event's right around the corner. I don't sell anything there. And it's less than the price of a freaking lunch. So it's a no-brainer if you're serious about this business. You'll leave knowing how to raise money for your deals, how to find them, how to build your team, how to evaluate deals, due diligence. I mean, soup to nuts, everything. So listen up. Don't be in the same place you are right now, a year from now, unless you absolutely freaking love where you are right now. So text the word boot camp to 7,2, 3, 4, or go to Rod's Bootcamp.com, and I promise you'll be glad you came. Again, text boot camp to 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, or go to rods bootcamp.com and I promise you'll be glad you came. Again, text

boot camp to 72345 or go to rods boot camp.com and I'll see you soon. All right, let's get to it.

As I said, today we're going to talk about avoiding the negativity and the naysayers that regretfully

are regularly around us. But let's start by saying this, and that is not to be afraid of them,

but candidly rather focus on proving them wrong, right?

Mark Twain said, keep away from people who are trying to belittle your ambitions,

because small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.

They're not afraid of you, afraid of your success.

See, people that operate from fear and limiting beliefs are small-minded and they can't comprehend

greatness. Now, to be incredible and build that life of your dreams, you've got to be willing

to be misunderstood and sometimes even ridiculed, sadly. See, that sad reality is when you make

a decision to go after something that doesn't fit a small person's model of the world, you may push their buttons. Now, someone who won't step out of conformity and just loves staying in mediocrity, that's the person whose buttons you'll push, and you know them. They're the ones that never ask any questions, but just judge and condemn. There are a lot of people out there that have no happiness or joy or even love or passion

in their lives and when you want more out of life, you push their buttons.

Now I will tell you, I literally get hate every single day from these people when they comment

on my successes or even on my failures.

Of course, I get a lot more love than hate, but it just it astounds me how many unhappy people

are out there. Now, I'm of the mind that people that say something can't be done or say you can't do

something or shouldn't, frankly, they shouldn't bother those that are already doing it. Don't let anybody

saddle you with their fears and doubts. And when you encounter a naysayer, take a look at their

track record. How many goals have they

successfully accomplished? How many dreams have they turned into success? You regularly see very little.

Now, those people who say you can't do something or won't do something are usually the ones that
