Leadership - Taking the Heat

There's a lot of fighting in the business world.

Especially in the home based business industry.

It's a lot like in the old days when you had sects warring against each other over the land and peoples not already established under a kingdom -- with lots of infighting, trickery and fraud.

In our industry it starts with badmouthing online.

Such as in forums or on blogs.

Someone will be in business A and want to take down business B, and will go forth and spew lies, accusations and other falsehoods that simply aren't true.

We see it ALL the time online.

Kind of pathetic of them, actually.

This is why I advise entrepreneurs to ignore the hate echo chambers.

Be the bigger person and just ignore it. People who have time to surf around from forum to forum spewing lies obviously are just not that successful at whatever they're doing, and they want you to roll around in the mud with them.
Don't.
Resist the urge.
And realize the more successful you get, the MORE this happens.
The more some people will hate you (for no reason).
And the more "heat" you'll take just for existing.

Being a success is extremely fun and exciting, can give you freedom and money, and it will change your life. But if you let others drag you down, it's all for nothing. This is one reason not everyone should be an entrepreneur. If you can't take a little heat you'll just end up sabotaging yourself until you're "comfortable" again.

Success can come very FAST, and it's not for the timid.
