The Truth About Haters & How to Use Crit...

About this episode

Does the fear of judgment and criticism paralyze you? Whether you admit it or not, the FEAR of judgement is a shared human experience we ALL have...


In today's episode, I confront one of the most pervasive fears on the path to success—the fear of judgement or aka... HATERS.


I am going to help you dismantle the myths around this fear, differentiate between destructive hate and constructive criticism, and reveal how you can transform even the harshest feedback into fuel for your personal and professional growth.


I'm breaking down the Five Stages of Progress and how each one interacts with criticism, from being invisible to becoming a target of envy. You'll learn to differentiate between someone who wants to pull you down and someone offering golden nuggets of truth that could propel you forward.


Here’s what you'll learn:

  • Understanding Critics and Haters: Recognizing the difference between those who aim to pull you down and those offering constructive criticism that could propel you forward.

  • The Five Stages of Success: Learn each stage's unique challenges and opportunities, including how to gracefully transition from being unseen to being criticized, and eventually, to using all experiences as stepping stones.

  • Embracing Criticism: How to accept feedback without letting it dent your self-esteem, and the importance of staying coachable and open to growth.

Join me as we learn to not just block out the noise but to listen selectively and act decisively, turning potential distractions into powerful lessons. This isn't just about silencing the critics—it's about thriving amidst them.


It’s time to shift your perspective on haters and critics and start seeing them as part of your journey to a successful, maxed-out life. #MAXOUT!
