When you coach successful people, you’re going to have the hater conversation.
I’ve had it so many times I literally have a script that I read to my clients and a term that I’ve made up for it. I call it “misdirected disappointment.”
Sharing this in hopes that if you or someone you know is dealing with a hater, it will serve you.
“When your results invalidate the excuses of insecure people, you will likely become the target of their criticism. You don’t deserve it, and it is not yours to own because it isn’t about you.
What you are experiencing is what I call misdirected disappointment. Misdirected disappointment is the disappointment people feel about themselves but direct at others.
I know it can be hard not to take it personally, but there are three things I want you to know…
- You never look good trying to make someone else look bad. If they are throwing dirt, they are losing ground.
- These people can’t possibly like you because they don’t even like themselves. They can’t give you what they don’t have.
- If you want, I will find their email and sign them up for every spammy list on this Earth. It might sound petty, but I would do that for you.
All kidding aside, your job is to focus. Don’t allow these people to occupy your mind because that’s what they want. They want you to question, doubt, and live in confusion. Don’t do that. Stay the course. Keep winning.”
