In this show Cat and Andy talk about how to deal with naysayers. These are the people that will tell you all the reasons you shouldn’t do something. They discuss that sometimes these people are friends and family and they have your best interest in mind however they are dealing with their own fears and worries. The eight (8) steps to dealing with naysayers which are discussed in the episode are:

  1. Protect your goals
  2. Evaluate the naysayers authority on the subject matter
  3. Objectivity analyse what the naysayer is saying
  4. Ignore the naysayer all together
  5. Don’t engage in the conversation
  6. Remove the naysayer from your life
  7. Review goals and values after a conversation with a naysayer
  8. Build a support group

Naysayers are all around us and come in many forms so being able to deal with their impact is critical to your success.
