In this episode, Scott Becker shares why it’s crucial to ignore negativity, embrace your strengths, and persevere through setbacks.
Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Today's discussion is don't listen to the naysayers. So in anything you do, and I know we've recorded this topic and idea before, anything you do, you're going to get people that say you can't do that. You can't make that happen. That won't work.
Chapter 2: Why should we ignore the naysayers?
Anything I've ever done successfully, I've certainly had that happen where people discourage me from doing it and said, you know, you're being precocious, you're trying too hard, you're doing whatever you're doing. And at the end of the day, you have to learn to ignore the naysayers. Don't listen to the naysayers. This is a constant regard in life.
When people talk about you, about this or that, if you're by nature an introvert, embrace that. Don't listen to the naysayers. Anything you do in life, think about what you do well, accept it, and double down on it, and don't listen to the naysayers, and follow your dreams, follow your pursuits, do what you're going to do.
We have tremendous pride in the fact of some of our family members that don't listen to the naysayers. The other thing I'll add on is, Anything you do in life, at some point, you're going to get punched in the nose. Someone's going to smack you. And I generally view that as that's a sign that you're starting to make an impact. So don't take that as a negative. Take that as a positive affirmation.
Don't listen to the nice hairs and keep on plugging along. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast.
