Tune in to understand how to overcome critics, trolls, haters and w**kers in today’s insightful episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A critic is someone who has constructive feedback that is sometimes wrapped up in a negative comment that as an entrepreneur and business owner you can learn from if you don’t react emotionally to it and actually listen to what is being said. A lot of people turn critics into haters by lashing out and getting aggressive in return, simply by misreading the critic’s initial comment.
- A hater is someone who hates the industry and hates what you represent this doesn’t mean they hate you as an individual, they could hate themselves or hate your product or service due to a bad experience. There are also hater that used to be critics but become haters because of how you dealt with them or how you reacted to them.
- A troll is a fake profile that needs to be reported and can really affect you and others around you.
- It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth listening to a critic or a hater, it’s up to you to figure out if there is value in what they’re saying and if you can improve your product, service, understand your industry better or learn from competitions. However, you must block them if they hurt you, trigger you or cause you to lose time out of your day or weekend. You can also get your VA or outsourcer to monitor the hater for constructive feedback.
- As a business owner, you need to know what your fans, followers and customer are saying, but you also need to know what the critics and haters are so that you can get a balanced view of your company and see the opportunities to improve.
- If you have enough self-worth that you understand what a critic, hater or troll is and how to react to their comments then you do not need to block them out, you need to learn from them because there is wisdom in there.
- Critics, haters and competitors force you to innovate and create a better product or service. As entrepreneurs, you have a cognitive bias and by embracing the critics and learning from the haters you will become more resilient in business and improve your product offering.
