Welcome to another installment of #MammothMonday. I want to preface this blog post by stating that you will occasionally read my postings and wonder to yourself, what on Earth does this have to do with business? Well, the first and most important thing that you should know is that everything that happens to you in life will affect you and by extension, if you are building or growing a business, it will have an affect on that business. Secondly and just as important, if you do not learn lessons throughout your journey through life, you will never succeed in anything so, any chance I have to throw a little life lesson out to you is purely for the benefit of your growth.
We have hundreds if not thousands of things coming at us every week or every month and from every direction we turn. Some things may be small but other things may have an impact on you that stops you in your tracks. For this reason, I want to write a quick blog post that will hopefully shine a light that will help guide you through a darker area on your journeys path.
A major part of navigating through life is fighting the constant urge to argue with someone who insists on questioning your beliefs, your way of living or your way of running your business. It could be a co-worker, a potential new client, a repairman, your child or even your spouse. When these arguments occur, it is our nature to debate and argue our point of view almost to exhaustion because we are insistent on trying to make someone understand who we are as an individual with our own thought processes, our own likes and dislikes and our own way that we see life and want to exist in this life. This behavior is detrimental to your life not to mention to goals that you are trying to achieve. So why do you care if someone is wrong about how you should live or run your own life. Stop trying to convince them otherwise, walk away and just let them be wrong.
There comes a point, where if you want to move on with your life, if you want to refuse to get stressed out over someone else wanting to place their beliefs on you and if, you are trying to start or grow a business, you have to consciously stop arguing and just let them be wrong. Why am I assuming that they are wrong? I am saying this because, if it is YOUR life and you need to be the one handling a situation and you feel that you are doing the right thing by you then, stop arguing with that particular person and just let them be wrong. What do you care if they walk away feeling that they have gotten the better of you by inflicting their beliefs on you? It is not your job to convince someone of facts you may have. If you have told them where you stand and how you plan to move forward and they still want to be arguing over how they feel something should be done then, just let them be wrong and continue on your journey.
It is a proven fact that if you continue to engage negative people, they will slowly and methodically destroy you. Do not waste precious time arguing over someone else trying to make decisions for your life. You may not always be right but that mistake is for you to learn in your own time and for you to find out and subsequently learn on your own terms. So, let them be wrong and move on. It is not your job to convince every soul to be on the same page as you. We are all walking our own journey. Just be careful on that path because there are human obstacles trying to run your life when they have no idea how to run their own lives. Let them be wrong and do not care that they do. It even realize it.
If you need time learning how to walk away and you need to try and have people be on the same page as you then, read the book How To Talk So People Will Listen. This book may give you an edge that may allow you to grab a negative person and flip them to your side. If you can borrow a copy of this book from your local library or a friend that would be perfect. If neither option is available, here is a link to get a copy from Amazon>> https://amzn.to/2W2YhfU
