There are a LOT of trolls
on social media now
– both the bots
and the less likely
human sh*tstarters.
Trolls suck energy,
especially if we respond to them.
That’s energy
we could be using
to make our businesses a success.
They bring negativity
to ourselves
AND
our prospective customers.
That will decrease our sales.
And they will NEVER
buy our products/services.
NEVER.
Blocking them
will increase your sales
AND your happiness levels.
Block the trolls
and move on.
I’ve been doing something
healthy AND fun
for myself
every day.
I’m excited about
this change.
It fills me
with joy.
I’ve only told
one other person
about it.
Why?
Because most people
can’t resist
decimating other people’s happiness.
They offer suggestions
on how to make that happy thing
‘better.’
They tell us
everything wrong
with that happy thing.
If that happy thing
is a goal
like starting an exciting new business,
they tell us
why it will fail.
They might believe
they’re ‘helping.’
They might believe
they’re being supportive.
They aren’t.
They’re destroying our happiness.
Only tell people
you absolutely trust
with your joy
about the wonderful changes
you’re making
in your life.
This includes
the business
you’re starting.
Protect your happiness.
In today’s world,
enough seems to be a dirty word.
We’re always supposed
to want more.
More money.
More customers.
More projects.
More. More. More.
Having enough,
however,
is a powerful place to be.
It gives us choices.
If we have enough startup funds,
for example,
we can build our businesses
the way WE wish to build them.
If we have enough experience,
we become an extremely valuable
and sought after addition
to teams and projects.
If we have enough projects,
we can stop evaluating new ones
and focus on the projects we already have.
That increases the odds
they will be successful.
Figure out what enough
looks like for you.
When you reach enough,
change your focus.
Having enough is powerful.
Harness that power.
The world has been
a tire fire lately.
People are struggling.
But we have the ability
to make
at least one person’s life
a little easier,
a little better.
Do something nice
for at least
one of your customers.
Forgive a late fee.
Add a happy face sticker
to the outside of a delivery package.
Send someone a personalized card
telling them
the world is better
with them in it.
Listen to them.
Really listen to them.
Do something nice.
It’ll make a difference
in their world.
AND it might make your world
a bit better also.
