032 • How to Handle the Naysayers

Hennapreneur

"You are bound to fail."

They don't even have to say those words directly. You can hear it in their tone when they ask you, "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

You can see it in their body language when they talk about your business. Yup! You notice that side-eye. They don't believe in your vision. They don't believe that you can do it. They don't believe any of it to be possible.

Adding insult to injury, this is someone who knows and loves you. It's your partner, your parent, your childhood friend. It's not some stranger on the internet, trolling your dreams. It's the person who you look to for support and encouragement. It's the person you were sure would be in your corner. And it hurts every time.

Listen, friend, not everyone is going to appreciate your ambition. The people nearest to you are often the same ones who will be the quickest to come up with objections. And it's not that they mean to discourage you, they don't want to see you fail. They want to keep you safe. And they mean it with love; even if it's not to your actual benefit.

Today, we're talking about how you can handle the naysayers – especially, and most particularly, when those naysayers are close to your heart.
