Dealing with detractors in creative enterprises

Detractors can be a good sign

Detractors mean you’re being noticed. That alone means you’re on the right path, but you may not be there yet.

There’s always some way in which you can improve. If you think otherwise, there’s not much point in continuing.

With detractors. You get to choose whether they’re right or not. You get to choose whether you should do something about it. This means you have to be good enough to be able to know when they’re right, and to take it on the chin too.

Detractors are nothing to worry about. They’re but one step along the path.
