6 Ways to Deal with Naysayers and Crush Your Goals

Taking a leap of faith for yourself is an already daunting and challenging path. Naysayers or Negative Nancy’s only make the journey that much more difficult. You do not need their pessimism, nor do you have to deal with it. There are several ways to deal with these individuals so you can move past them and crush your goals.

1. Distance Yourself from the Negative
If possible, put space between those individuals and your goals. Continually listening to doubt will eventually manifest into challenging yourself. If you cannot distance yourself from a naysayer, have an honest conversation with them. Explain that you don’t have to have their support, but their discouragement is not welcome. Be polite but firm.

2. Bolster Yourself with Support
Once you have pushed away the negative, bring in the support. Surrounding yourself with people that believe in your goals will allow you to be yourself and unapologetically go after what you want. The support you receive from others will act as reassurance on the path you are taking, and they will help pick you up when times are tough.

3. No Justification Necessary
You do not have to justify yourself, your goals, or the path you are taking to anyone. Everyone is different, no two people live identical lives or achieve their goals in the same ways. If someone questions you, simply say, “This is what I choose.”

4. Don’t Share
If you know someone you will need to be around think you are crazy for going after your goal in a big way, don’t give them ammunition. Avoid talking about your plans around them. If they try to bring it up, take the conversation another direction.

5. Turn Doubt into Motivation
If someone doubts you, use their doubt as motivation. Maybe that means making a wager or promising yourself that you’ll prove him or her wrong. Either way, do not let the uncertainty of others weigh you down. Most likely, what they think really doesn’t matter.

6. Embrace Solitude and Reflection
Keeping up the hustle to achieve your goals can be a lonely path sometimes. Give yourself downtime to reflect on your goals, how far you have come, and reevaluate your plan of action. This quiet time will also fill your cup and let new ideas and motivation form.

Naysayers are everywhere in life. They are in your family, at work, and maybe even your friend group. This does not mean that you need to spend your life working within the parameters of their beliefs. You can move beyond their negativity and crush your goals with relentless willpower.

6 Things Successful People Do to Unapologetically Achieve Their Goals

In the name of reaching your goals, you may be cast down upon by others. Let them. If your goals are important to you, you must be unapologetic and carry no guilt in your journey to reach your destination. Do what the world’s most successful people do to attack your goals regardless of what anyone else says.

1. Be Consistent
Being consistent is one of the most important and challenging steps to achieving your goals. If you don’t keep up the momentum, it’s too easy to give up before you really get started.

2. Make Sacrifices
Maintaining consistency will mean making sacrifices along the way. These sacrifices will vary depending on you and your goals. It will be worth it down the road though when you’ve made your dream life come true!

3. Look for The Good
Rough patches are inevitable. However, you need to learn to look for the good in the bad. Some may call this the silver lining, but really it is looking beyond the bad that is surrounding you and seeing that there will be good again, or that the bad is preparing you for a trial down the road.

4. Take Responsibility
Taking responsibility is a concept that should apply to all areas of your life. You must take responsibility for the good (don’t let someone else steal your thunder), the bad (be honest with your mistakes and shortcomings), and everything in between. Being unapologetic in your journey to achieve your goals means being unrepentant in your honesty when you screw up.

5. Take Risks
Taking risks may seem like an obvious step in achieving your goals. But think beyond the typical one, like the fear of failure. Doing something risky or scary allows you to try new things, find new paths to take, and, most importantly, learn and grow from your mistakes.

6. Don’t Give Up
Maybe you screwed up in your consistency. Perhaps you made a sacrifice that didn’t pan out. Perhaps you took a risk and failed. That is all fine and dandy. If you give up for any reason, the ones listed in the previous sentence, or because you are giving in to mounting pressure from family and friends, then you will never meet your goal. You will never find out if you had what it takes to make it. Don’t. Give. Up.

Going after your goals, unapologetically is hard. It takes sacrifice, dedication, and the ability to support yourself when no one else will. However, the success that comes with unrelenting determination will make the journey that much sweeter in the end.

5 Ways to Stop Worrying About What Others Think of You and Live Your Authentic Life

Have you ever wanted to try something, to do something, to be a certain way? Did you follow through with those desires? Or did you stop dead in your tracks out of fear of what others would think? If you said yes, keep reading to find your way out of the pigeonhole you are in and live the life you want.

1. Ignore the Fear
Fear is in all of us. It is a primal emotion and instinct that has allowed all creatures to survive for thousands of years by escaping danger. However, in today’s world we often experience fear that comes from no real threat. Really, what is the risk in someone disagreeing with you? What is the danger of being wrong? Fear, when manifested, can lead to many other emotions and physical symptoms that can stop you from living the life you want. If there is no real danger (i.e., death or bodily injury), then go for it.

2. So What?
Or “What if”? “What if she doesn’t like me?” “What if they think my business idea is stupid?” So what? That is only one person. That is one board of directors. What if she has had a crush on you this whole time? What if they think your idea is brilliant? Continually fearing the “what ifs” in life is exhausting. Move past those “what ifs” with a “so what.”

3. Live the Rejection
Rejection happens, and it hurts. However, with every rejection comes a lesson. Maybe that lesson is what you need to do better next time. Or, it may be that the person who rejected you has no idea what they are talking about. To succeed and prosper, you must live through rejection. Just know that not every rejection is a poor reflection of you.

4. Do It Wrong
Do you live in fear of being wrong or messing something up? Don’t. No one can be right or perfect or on point all the time. Stop questioning every decision you make, every emotion you feel, or every action you take. Simply enjoy it, do what feels right, and keep going.

5. Be You
Be you. Be you unapologetically. Be you and feel no guilt. Dr. Seuss once said, “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

Living in a constant state of worry about what others think about you is exhausting. It will also impede you living your best life, your authentic life every time. Learn to embrace yourself, your mistakes, the rejections, and the lessons, and live your life for you.

5 Reasons You Should Set Big, Scary Goals for Yourself

Search “goal setting” on your favorite search browser, and you will find yourself with hundreds of thousands of results. Everything on how to set SMART goals to worksheets and books on how to reach them. However, so often, we ignore our big, scary goals for the easily attainable: the baby steps that build. Now, there is nothing wrong with working the process and leveling up when you’re ready. But what happened to the big, scary goals of childhood? Jumping off the high dive or asking your crush out on a date. Those were the goals that legends and movies are made of. Why should you set some new, big, scary goals for yourself and go after them?

1. Allow Yourself to Dream and Get Excited
When you set your big, scary goal, you are most likely envisioning the finish line in your mind. When you were a kid, this was the cool air blowing around you as you raced down the street on your bike sans training wheels. As an adult, you can let your mind dream of what reaching your goal will look like. Dreaming allows you to get excited about the end of the journey and the steps that will get you there.

2. Long Term Improvements
When you set a goal and unapologetically work towards it you will find yourself making changes to better accommodate what is needed to reach your goal. These changes are improvements. If you aim to walk a half marathon, you may find yourself switching out your daily lunch/Netflix break for a stroll around the block. This change will be occurring for a long time for you to reach our goal, and most likely will become a long term or lifetime improvement.

3. Become More Resilient
Life is tough. However, having an endpoint to work towards will allow you to enjoy the journey and not get as caught up in the little things. Besides, no journey is without its painful points. Working through those hitches will allow you to become more resilient and reliant on yourself and your own abilities.

4. Confront Your Shortcomings
No one is perfect. Most likely you will have a few shortcomings that will make your journey more challenging. Look at your faults and create mini-goals to overcome them. It is one thing when someone or something puts a barrier in your way, but do not be your own worst enemy.

5. Develop (Good) Habits
Good habits reinforce more good habits, which are the building blocks of meeting our objectives. Your big, scary goal is absolutely nothing if you are not willing to create, develop, and build upon good habits that will carry you to that goal. If you want to walk a half marathon, you will need to start the practice of merely walking more every day. With that habit comes the habit of having good posture when walking. These habits will continue to build.

Big, scary goals are well… big and scary. However, aiming for targets that seem out of your reach will help fuel you with the ambition and appetite to go after them.

5 Reasons Why Prioritizing Your Own Needs Isn’t Selfish

Being selfless is a wonderful attribute. However, consistently giving more of yourself than you have to offer is a societal pitfall. Are you always taking care of others: their needs, their wants, their everything? Then it’s time to take a step back and see to your own needs. Taking care of yourself isn’t a selfish act. It is a necessity of life that will allow you to be a better person, give more, and maybe even set some boundaries in the process.

1. You Can’t Pour from an Empty Jug
Metaphor time. Imagine you are a water jug that is full to the top. Now you pour a little water out at every adorable flower you happen upon. A little to the daisy, a little to the petunia, a little to the geranium. You keep giving and giving. Finally, you come to the very last little hydrangea. But you’re empty. You must go back to the hydrant, take care of yourself, and then return later with more water. You can’t pour from an empty jug.

2. The “Do” Mentality
Continually checking your to-do list for the next item that needs to be done for your spouse, your children, or a friend is exhausting. This race to complete tasks as a way of showing your love, affection, or worthiness doesn’t allow you to stop and smell the roses or whatever flowers you like.

3. Your Critical Inner Voice
When you think of not doing something for someone else, and you hear a voice saying that’s “selfish,” that is your critical inner voice. And sometimes, she needs to be ignored. She is the same voice that says you shouldn’t take the time to read that romance novel or soak in a hot bath. She pushes you to be critical of yourself. With practice, you can learn to control that voice and find a happy medium.

4. Stress Hurts
Running yourself ragged taking care of others is hard on the body. So is that accompanying stress. Stress is not just a mental side effect; it can also manifest in real and physical ways. Migraines, stomach aches, anxiety attacks, and many other forms of physical ailments can be caused by stress.

5. You Drain Others
While you are running around taking care of others, you may also be draining to others. Are you constantly nagging at your partner or children to “help them”? Or is there someone who is running around trying to take care of you as well? Stop. Take care of yourself. And let others take care of themselves.

There may be moments in time when you need to prioritize someone else over yourself. However, you need to prioritize yourself some of the time, all the time. It isn’t selfish, it’s a necessity.

5 Beliefs That Keep You from Attacking Your Goals

Everyone has dreams, but not everyone makes their dreams into goals. You may have a few of these too. What are the reasons you tell yourself late at night to put the shutdown on making them a reality? These reasons are beliefs that you have, but that doesn’t mean they are valid reasons.

1. Not Enough Time
Everyone is busy these days. When someone asks how you are doing, you probably respond with “Busy.” But that might not be the truth. Everyone has the same twenty-four hours in the day. For a week or maybe two, keep a time ladder of how you spent your time. This includes sleeping, preparing and eating meals, social media, getting ready for work, cleaning your house. Take a good look at how your time is spent, and you might realize you have more time than you realize.

2. I Don’t Have ‘X’ Talent
It doesn’t matter if you want to write a book or paint a picture, you have as much talent as you are willing to work for. You may not have been born with the natural ability to paint, it doesn’t mean you can’t learn and practice.

3. After ‘X’ I Will Do It
“Once I get through this (insert tough project at work), I will start training for that marathon.” “After I lose twenty pounds, I will take a salsa dancing class.” Why are you waiting? Maybe that marathon training will help you work through the stress of that project at work. Perhaps salsa dancing lessons will allow you realize that no matter your weight, your body is worthy of fun and sexy movement. If you have a goal, go for it now.

4. I’m Not Good Enough
What ruler are you using to measure your “good enough”? You are always good enough to go after your own dreams and goals. If this is an internal dialogue, then you need to work on liking and loving yourself first. If this belief is coming from external sources, then consider those sources and if they are holding you back.

5. ‘X’ Person Has it Easier
The grass is greener where you water it. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. There are many sayings that sum up that you really don’t know what someone else is going through. So do not assume that someone has it easier, and therefore can achieve their goals while you cannot. That person may think you have it easier or better.

Self-limiting beliefs can be a slippery slope. They can also keep you from even trying to reach your goals. Take time to examine your reasoning and come up with better beliefs to counter the negative ones.

4 Steps to Building Boundaries So You Can Reach Your Goals

Have you ever set a goal for yourself only to find that you are continually coming up against roadblocks? It happens to everyone. Schedules change, people need things from you, or maybe a mixture of the two. This is frustrating. You feel like a failure for not reaching your goal, but you don’t know how to manage the expectations of others against your own needs. You need boundaries. Boundaries will allow others to see the framework you are working within, and where their needs start and stop for you.

1. Define What You Need
Before you can even start creating boundaries, you first must know what you need. For example, your goal is waking up early four mornings a week to journal. You, of course, need to set the alarm, a pen, and a notebook. But you also need to go to bed early four nights a week. You need a space and an amount of time for yourself.

2. Be Honest with Others
Tell those who will be receiving the boundaries why you are setting them and why you feel the need to so. Explaining yourself can sometimes feel awkward or selfish, but it isn’t. By explaining your reasoning, you will help others understand why boundaries are important and how they will support your goal. Those who care about you will be supportive.

3. Set Boundaries
Once you have established why you are setting boundaries, explain the boundaries. Maybe it is a simple, “Sorry, I’m not going out on weeknights anymore,” or perhaps you need to come up with a game plan with your partner on taking turns getting kids ready in the morning. Either way, work to set boundaries and make compromises that will work for all involved.

4. Follow Through and Communicate
Now that there are boundaries in place to help you reach your goals follow through on your end. This means not just working to accomplish the goals you set, but also communicating with others along the way. This may mean thanking your partner for keeping the kids away while you worked or thanking a friend for understanding that you couldn’t stay out late. Communicating may also mean reminding someone of your boundaries and reinforcing why you have them.

Boundaries are a beautiful thing. They let us know where we stand, with others and with ourselves. Never let any feelings of shame, selfishness, or awkwardness keep you from creating and maintaining the boundaries that you need to be successful.

4 Proven Methods to Overcoming Fear of Failure to Achieve Your Big Goals

Fear of failure is a real thing. A common workaround of individuals with perfectionist tendencies is the “if I don’t try, then I can’t fail” mindset. Many people will avoid goals, as well as tasks, that they fear they cannot complete to remove the risk of failing. However, avoiding your goals, big and small, means you are going nowhere fast. There are proven methods that can help you overcome your fear of failure and guide you through the steps to reach your biggest goals.

1. Redefine Failure
You have a clear image in your head of what your version of success is. Now, you must define what failure is in your mind. Is your vision of failure truly failure, or is it merely a discrepancy? How can you change your definition to “lesson” instead of “failure”?

2. Real vs. Imagined Threats
Take a long, hard look at the threats you imagine that come with failing. Are these threats real or imagined? If the threat of failure is something as serious as not being able to pay bills, and therefore losing your home, then the threat is real. However, if the danger centers more on embarrassment, having to explain your situation to others, or merely knowing that you didn’t reach your goal, then the threat is imagined. While those situations are uncomfortable, they will not result in loss of income, life, or safety.

3. Goal Types
Consider the types of goals you are setting because they are most likely affecting your mindset. If your goals are “promotion goals” then they are promoting you and what you want to reach (I want to start my own business, I want to get published, etc.). If your goals are “prevention goals,” then your goals are trying to prevent something negative from happening (I don’t want to shut down my business, I don’t want to be turned down, etc.). Consider the types of goals you are setting for yourself and how they affect your mindset.

4. Outcome Envisioning
Everyone has a vision of what achieving their goal will look like. If you are running a half marathon, then you are probably envisioning crossing the finish line and getting your medal. If your goal is to publish a book, then you probably have visions of your book cover and people buying your book. These are positive thoughts and can help drive you to achieve your goals.

Fear of failure is a real and valid construct. We, as humans, are hardwired to fear failure. That fear has kept humans alive for thousands of years. However, fear of failure today, when it is about achieving dreams and goals, is not about survival, it’s about proving yourself wrong.

4 Daring Ways to Brazenly Reach Your Goals

No matter your goal, you most likely have a plan to achieve it. However, there will be road bumps along the way. Everyone doesn’t reach their destination in a linear line, sometimes there are curves, bumps, and canyons that will stand between you and what you want. Here’s how to overcome them.

1. Your Truth
The vast majority of the information you take in every day is coming through a lens that someone has carefully crafted. PR teams and marketing specialists abound in the 21st Century. This doesn’t mean you have to abide by their rules. You know who you are and what you want, that is your truth. You have to believe it, live it, and speak it. No apologies, no worries, no slanting it so that others can feel comfortable and happy with what you have to say. Sometimes the hardest truths are the most important.

2. Move Past ‘No’
You are going to be told ‘no’ in your lifetime, and it’s not the end all be all in the world of going after your goals. ‘No’ is simply a stop sign that you must pause at. Reevaluate why you were told that, what you can do differently or better next time, and then move on to the next mile marker.

3. Evolve
The only constant is change. Everything is constantly evolving around us, and that means you can too. Many people look negatively upon people who allow themselves to grow and progress, but if you stayed the same, then you would never create or reach your goals. You are entitled to change and so are your goals. Allow yourself to modify your goals as needed. Otherwise, there’s no point in attacking them.

4. Like Yourself
If you don’t love (like) yourself, then no one else will. The internet is filled with self-deprecating memes that tell us to be hard on ourselves and that being self-assured is narcissistic. That’s not true. You can be self-assured, have humility, and still believe in yourself and push yourself and your goals. Do not let the negativity of others bring down your goals or change the way you view yourself.

Brazenly working towards and reaching your goals is a charming way of saying “blatantly striving for more.” And you should. Defining, working towards, and meeting your goals be it for a better you or a business idea, will always be worth the hard work and sacrifice and is something you should never apologize for.
