I was recently interviewed about being a creative visionary.  One of the questions I was asked was “How do you deal with other people’s doubts and fears about your vision…the naysayers?”  It was a great question because so many entrepreneurs and business people deal with that all the time.  You really need to have a good sense of who you are, develop a thick skin when it comes to criticism, and turn a deaf ear toward others who judge you.  Believe in your vision and passionately pursue your dreams (and it’s Bria here, adding- be sure your dreams are with a niche who can pay you well:)

One of my favorite quotes is by beloved author Dr. Suess.  He said, “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter an those who matter don’t mind.”  That is the wisest advice I can think of when you are faced with someone who doubts what you can accomplish.
