Comments on: Fear of Criticism – Is It Stopping You? http://www.personalgrowthprofessionals.com/2009/02/fear-of-criticism-is-it-stopping-you/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:39:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tina http://www.personalgrowthprofessionals.com/2009/02/fear-of-criticism-is-it-stopping-you/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Tina Fri, 20 Feb 2009 01:47:39 +0000 http://www.personalgrowthprofessionals.com/?p=160#comment-13 From my experience with coaching biz owners, it seems that as soon as they really step up into their business and things start to grow - that is when the critics show up. So having critics show up becomes a sign of success! In a sense we should want the critics then (hehe). If you don't have anyone criticizing you yet, are you playing a big enough game? Andrea Lee calls is your BOP statement - being Bold, Outrageous and Provocative. Standing for something in your business and not being afraid to say it loud and clear. Seems the most successful people do this the best (and get criticism as a result). The key is, of course, to find a way to shelter yourself from the critics and don't let them slow you down or throw you off track.

Often we are our own biggest obstacle. And that is often some made up thing in our head - our imagination gone wild (not in the good way of going wild). I especially like the re-focusing on serving and inspiring you mention as with that perspective we can really be our best and share that with others. Thanks, Alison Nina,
