Dealing with haters, criticism, and naysayers
150: Jealousy, Envy, and Self Reflection
Welcome Back
Happy Tuesday as we begin the first sleepy week back from break after the end of 2022.
We are going to cover quite a bit in January as we ramp up our paid content and plan for some more interviews.
Today’s post is on Dealing With Haters and Criticism. We are working on our Covid mega post, but considering editing some pieces and making it a bit less intense as the subject is incredibly sensitive for many many people.
We will attempt to align this post with the Twitter Files new drop this week, focused on Dr. Fauci — which Elon Musk says is going to drop this week.
Do not miss that Covid post. It will be expansive and detailed covering the timeline of Covid, Vaccines, and what we now know about the lockdowns and hell that we all went through.
This drop will likely be shocking so we want to include it with our own thoughts on the madness we’ve seen transpire the last couple years during the pandemic.
It will be for paid subs. So if you feel inclined upgrade to receive — we will do our usual markets update Friday for all subs.
Haters
Anyone who was successful at any point in life, tried something new, had an online business or account, went to school, went to college, or practically did anything of value in their lives, is likely familiar with haters.
You might even deal with haters now in your adult life at work, at the club, in friend circles, etc etc.
They’re everywhere and they can be wearing and taxing on your energy — but only if you let them.
There are two reasons we wanted to cover this topic today.
We have considerable experience dealing with haters, jealousy, and criticism given we’ve run an online brand and business for 6 years now
Since we are big proponents of self improvement and progress, we know our followers likely deal with this if they see success in different realms or endeavors in life
Today’s a quick post on identifying haters and jealousy, different instances where it will happen to you, and how I have found the best ways to deal with it are.
So if you’ve ever had haters, dealt with jealousy/envy, or had some stans chirping you online, this is the post for you.
Learning how to deal with them starts by understanding why they are the way they are. We’ll cover some examples from the corporate world, sports world, and more.
Take a step towards improving your peace of mind and mental health with our commentary on how to best deal with this oftentimes nagging and annoying inevitable bi product of human interaction.
Expect while reaching for the stars, people to whirl by with their dark clouds and storm upon you.

It can be quite ugly and over time if you don’t know how to deal with it, it can get frustrating.
So how does envy jealousy and hating manifest itself?
Well lots of ways. Some you might not pick up on.
