Something was telling me to pick it up.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe first page I opened had a quote from John in big blue letters that said:\u00a0<br />\r\n\u201cDon\u2019t ignore all those naysayers in your path.\u00a0 Put that negativity to work for you.\u00a0 Let it drive you, even if it\u2019s just to prove everyone else wrong.\u201d\u00a0<br />\r\nThis quote hit me at the right time.\u00a0 I was in the midst of closing the biggest deal of my life, despite people telling me it would never happen.\u00a0 I was hitting the podcast trail on my own after working with a partner for the first year.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIt didn't matter.\u00a0 There are always haters.\u00a0 There are always naysayers, dream killers, people that want you to fail.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThere will always be people in the peanut gallery giving you shit and your initial instinct telling you to \u201cforget them.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBut hold up.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMaybe don\u2019t forget them.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMaybe keep them in the back of your mind, or written down in a notebook or put them on your fridge.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBecause when things get really tough - we don\u2019t need positivity - we need a kick in the ass that pushes us the last 10% of the journey.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nDon\u2019t ignore the naysayers.\u00a0 Use them as fuel.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\n\u00a0<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here\u00a0.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
