You know what it's like…
You're out there working hard, passionate about who you are and what you’re doing, and up pops a “hater” – a negative naysayer who puts you down and trashes you and your business.
Unpleasant, right?
Well, I've got good news and bad news…
The bad news is that network marketing haters are inevitable, unavoidable, and simply a fact of life.
Luckily, the good news is that I've got a potent strategy for dealing with haters (…and believe me, I've had a few).
Before we get into that, though, first let me lay out my philosophy regarding where “hate” comes from.
I believe the words a person uses are a window into their soul.
I can tell a lot about how a person is wired, their psychology, even their physiology, based on the words they use.
Whether you agree or not, let’s start with the assumption that beliefs, thoughts, words, and actions are directly related.
From my perspective, beliefs are where it all begins, because…
Our beliefs drive our thoughts
For example…
If you believe making money is hard, that will affect your thoughts about doing something to make money.
Our thoughts drive our words
There are certain words that “trigger” people
When people get triggered, they allow themselves to react in inappropriate and sometimes even comical ways.
Let me tell you what I mean by sharing a story from one of my friends and mentor JT DeBolt ....
He was speaking at a private, high-end mastermind conference a few years ago.
It was four days long and cost several thousand dollars just to get in the door.
One of the other speakers was a guy worth just short of a BILLION dollars.
He flew in from the Middle East to share his wisdom about how he did it, and to show the people in the room how they could do the same.
In his first 15 seconds onstage, he dropped an “F-bomb.”
From there on out it was “game on.”
He used more profanity !
(Ever heard of something called “Sailor’s Mouth?”)
But…
This dude delivered amazing wisdom
As I listened from the back of the room, a guy walking out stopped and said to my friend JT DeBolt…
“I can't listen to him anymore. His profanity is offensive to me.”
JT DeBolt asked…
“So, what have you learned from him? Are you getting any good information?”
He said…
“The information awesome and I think there's some stuff in there that could help me. But I just have to walk out. I can't listen to him anymore.”
Now, this same desperate guy had told my friend the day before…
“I need to make money, I need to make my business grow, if this doesn't work…blah, blah, blah…”
…using all kinds of emotionally-charged language about how he's not going to be able to make it.
What’s fascinating is this is the same guy who walks out of the room the minute the speaker starts dropping “F-bombs.”
Here’s my point…
If we surrender our power to words, then we are no different from any other victim
This guy chose to stay stuck.
He justified staying stuck by getting offended at “salty” language.
It was easier than hearing and taking action on the actual message that the speaker delivered.
The speaker wasn't telling people to go out and kill people or do anything heinous or immoral.
He was talking about things that work. He was actually describing the pathway to riches and wealth.
He just happened to use a lot of profanity.
Here’s the point…
If we allow ourselves to get triggered by what people say or the way they say it, then we've surrendered our power.
It's like walking around with one hand tied behind your back.
Personally, I believe having “haters” is a great thing!
If people disagree with you, you should be happy. Pat yourself on the back.
The primary reason network marketing “haters” show up is they’re insecure.
There's something about themselves they don't like seeing in you.
Maybe it's your hustle, your grind, or your grit.
Maybe you moved past your excuses and into action.
When you say “you can’t,” and start talking about all the reasons you won't get stuff done, you’re just making excuses.
Now that’s foul!
That’s where “haters” typically live
They live in a place of can'ts and excuses.
They live in a place of fear, worry, and doubt.
They live in a place of limited possibilities
One of the best ways to deal with network marketing “haters” is to ignore them.
The other ways to deal with them is to appreciate them.
The fact is, if you've got haters, it means you’re doing something RIGHT.
You're doing something that has triggered somebody somewhere – and that person may or may not need your message.
But other people DO need your message.
If you're pleasing everybody, you have a problem
Somebody once said…
“If you're pleasing everybody, you're lying to somebody.”
Darren Hardy, the former editor of Success Magazine, puts it even more bluntly…
“Piss more people off.”
If you believe in what you do, you are going to get haters
Most people will never even admit to the possibility of being a hater.
So, let me ask you directly…
Are you a hater?
Do you find yourself reacting to people (maybe even in this industry) by saying things like…
“No way, man. That person is off their rocker, what a jerk, what a creep, what a bozo.”
Let me give you a real quick strategy to get past that.
When somebody thinks, says, or acts differently than you do, I want you to embrace it.
So when somebody tells you “no,” or to “go to hell,” or that you're crazy, ridiculous, or wrong, or that it's never going to work…
It's not you. It's them.
They're not rejecting you
They're rejecting the idea.
Sometimes people are confused or they need more information.
Maybe you just need to do a better job of communicating with or educating them.
The point is you probably don't have actual “haters” in the world.
But if some people tell you how crappy you are, how screwed up you are, how you are going down the path to ruin…
Pat yourself on the back!
Give yourself some credit for being that person who finally stands for something other people think is crazy, ludicrous, scary, or ridiculous.
Chances are you're walking a powerful path and taking other people to greatness with you.
If people hate on you remember this…
“You are not their cup of tea.”
That will help you stay not only positive but powerful.
You’ll be able to see the value in – and learn from – everything around you, even the people who disagree with you.
If you ever find yourself acting like a “hater,” ask yourself…
“Do I really want to go down this path? Or do I just disagree with the philosophy?”
That’s simply part and parcel of being a human being with critical thinking skills.
