We all know
we can’t please everyone
with our products or services.
If I post a photo
of kittens
on social media,
I will receive at least
one comment
about how I should be
posting photos of puppies.
We KNOW
pleasing everyone
is impossible.
But how do we react
when we hear from someone
our products/services don’t please?
I tell myself
‘This isn’t my reader (customer).”
and I move on.
Sometimes I’m GRATEFUL
my books (products) don’t please them
because pleasing them
means I’m not pleasing
the readers I want buying my books.
“It doesn’t do any good at all
to know that
you can’t please everyone
but not use that knowledge
to be bolder,
walk lighter
and
do better work
for those you can please.”
Focus on the people
you WANT to please.
