This is a piece of advice derived from the Urban Muse's notes, a woman who blogs about her adventures in reading, writing, and the creative life. She attended an entrepreneurship themed event presented by the Boston chapter of Ladies Who Launch back in May. She posted some of the 'best sound bytes' she picked up here. Here's the rest of her Naysayer quote:
'"Let the naysayers push you forward." Fortunately, most of the people in my life are supportive. But occasionally I run up against someone who just doesn't get why I want to write. One of the women talked about a banker who refused to give her a small business loan to open a clothing boutique, and it forced her to rethink her business model. She said that after thinking about it and refining her idea, it actually ended up better than what she'd envisioned before (now she has a mobile boutique)."'
I love, love, love this quote! Thanks for sharing it. This is especially important to "Let the naysayers push you forward" when your goals are really big, and you seek to make a difference in many people's lives. By the way, I'm a fellow graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Plase contact me so we can connect.
