How Accepting Are You of Feedback?
It isn’t easy to hear words that don’t proclaim your last effort as brilliant or even good for that matter. When it comes to your person or your entrepreneurship, the feedback is more personal than ever and more difficult to take. Most people become disillusioned and quit. But that attitude certainly does not boost anyone’s career or entrepreneurship.
The better approach is to consider the feedback from all angles. Most importantly scour the information for any resemblance to truth. If you find an iota of truth in the disheartening words, are you able to work with it? Can you take what was given to you and run with it to improve the situation? While the facts may hurt, they can also help us succeed in the end.
Those in creative endeavors such as writers and artists have an even harder time with criticism or feedback. It becomes doubly personal. I was told that most authors who are rejected by publishing houses throw their manuscripts away. Surely there is some good material between page one and the last page.
When you are able to let the criticism take hold by giving yourself time to contemplate what was said, chances are a far better outcome will be yours. It boils down to either giving up or figuring out how badly you want to succeed. And if your desire is strong enough, then doing everything in your power to make things right usually produces the right results.
Sometimes the tough feedback is our best friend producing the best of all worlds. And when this occurs, it becomes a very Smooth Sale!
