Let's say you've got this great new idea for a business. Or you've come up with a new and exciting way to accomplish something with your current business. And you'd like to get some advice on this. If you go to people who have "been around" for quite some time and their advice is how it can't or shouldn't be done, acknowledge them and move on. Yes, there are times when it's wise not to move forward with an idea, but too often the people who advise you NOT to do something are folks who couldn't get it done themselves or after years of losses and dissatisfaction have lost the desire to excel and, sadly, do not wish to see others excel. Don't let that rub off on you.
Stan,
You couldn't be more right. When I started my business KNO Enterprises, I was skeptical about saying anything to certain people regaurding my website, because of thier possible negative comments they might say, due to thier losses on thier business's. After about one year or so, I mentioned about my website to them in conversation and low and behold, I was correct. They were so negative and, seemingly jealous. What I also found out thru these past five years of having my website, is that these are the very people who question me about how money do I make, and can I give them some money, not barrow.
