PII 148: Commandment No. 10 – You Shall Constantly Equip Yourself to Tackle Negative Competition [10 Commandments of Web Marketing for Business Success]

“Unfortunately, it may be difficult to eliminate all the negative people from your life. Your mother or father, a business associate, a best friend or even your spouse might be a negative influence. And since any of these people have known you for years, they probably think of you in terms of your past experiences and not in terms of who you are today, or the person you can become.

The saying “A prophet has no honor in his own home” couldn’t be truer, Sometimes it’s easier to find support from a complete stranger. A stranger doesn’t carry preconceived notions about what you can or cannot do…everyone needs someone to believe in him or her, and those who are closest to you may not be the best people to fill that role.

The key is to find someone who does…Negativity works like poison in the bloodstream: If you give in to its power, it will weaken your confidence and kill your dream. Your goals are simply too important to let that happen.” – Cynthia Kersey, Author of UNSTOPPABLE 45 Powerful Stories of Perseverance and Triumph from People Just Like You

In this tenth and final commandment, I explain using several personal true stories and examples, how negativity from others – both those close to you, as well as people you may not even know or be consciously aware of – can cause potentially serious damage to you, in a way that could stop you from achieving the valued goal you set.

Dispense with any rose colored glasses through which you may be tempted to view the world. Some people, including those you love, may choose to make things difficult for you, as they observe your progress.

What you need to do is PREPARE yourself for that possible eventuality. Otherwise you could just end up getting derailed from achieving your dream.

In addition to experience based insights I offer in the MP3 audio and PDF transcript for this commandment, EVERY member of my Web Marketing for CEOs club also has FREE access to request help in implementing these ideas.
