Doing Despite What They Say

I’m starting to get feedback
from the book release.
Some of it… good.
Some of it… not-so-good.

Both were expected.
There is a reason that
Roosevelt’s The Man In The Arena speech
is so beloved of entrepreneurs.

“It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled,
or where the doer of deeds
could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by
the dust and sweat and blood;”

The reason being that all doers face critics.
And, as being a critic is easy and safe,
we face many of them.
At every step of our journey.

Don’t let them stop you.
