The way I persist despite the haters is honestly not caring about what people have to say about me. What I mean by that is everyone has their own opinions and views and they might not align with mine. But that doesn’t mean I should let their opinions affect what I have going on in my life, or even with my business. Read more>>

What a question! I could talk about this for a long time. But to keep it short and simple let me share one particular story.

I always heard the saying “if you don’t have haters you’re doing something wrong” growing up. I came to the conclusion that there will always be people who doubt you or want to see you fail. However this is your life and if you want something then you need to go through with all the negativity from those people. Read more>>

As a creator, negativity and hate is bound to come your way especially if you are good at what you do. As it comes in I don’t take it personal but I am aware of it. Sometimes it can be helpful for a creative process. But there’s nothing to it, and it’s just words, I look at who is saying them. What’s inside that person making them feel that way. Read more>>

These days it seems like anyone can come up with negative things to say about someone or someone’s business. Social media is a gateway for negativity & protects those who spew it. However, I let the gossip fuel my fire, only to make me work harder to prove them all wrong. Most of what is negatively spoken are fibs and completely unjust. Read more>>

Even though I feel like I don’t deal with a lot of this directly I think it’s the most important thing to talk about because when someone has haters or nay-sayers I believe that is one of the number one things that makes someone quit what they’re doing. They begin to question their work and if it’s good enough. Read more>>

I’ve never cared what people have had to say about me. I have never defined myself by others point of view. Their viewpoint would hardly be objective. It reveals more about them than it does me. Here is what I’ve learned in life. Keep this in mind and you will never be let down by others. Read more>>

Bueno, it’s like surfing through a storm, you know? There’s this fire inside me, fueled by my dreams, my passions, the things that really make me tick.

When doing anything you do not want to be around negative people. The best way is to avoid and ignore them. I have learned that haters are always going to be there regardless and there is nothing you can do about it. As long as I am satisfied I don’t think about what others think. There will always be people who don’t agree with you and how you do things and that is okay. Read more>>

I always remind myself that I am widely successful, and any negativity from outsiders not on my level, should never bother me. Especially if it comes from a emotion of jealousy from said outsiders. I know my heart, my kindness, my compassion, and true intentions, and any type of hate, is pure jealousy. Read more>>

The biggest thing that you can do for anybody is to pray. I think haters are a big fuel to me obviously you’re gonna have haters and everything that you do and you’re never gonna have somebody who’s always rooting for you. They’re always be people who don’t like you, nor, do they want you to succeed. Read more>>
