Don’t take it personally

Whenever you receive feedback or criticism it’s hard to not take it personally. Whether that be a project you’ve been working on or when you’re presenting an idea to someone. 

If you connect yourself to the project, your feelings will surely be hurt by someone. Feedback is crucial but you can’t ask for honest feedback if you can’t take it. 

Feedback will make your product better. If you ask the people you’re trying to sell to what they would change and what they like or dislike about your product, present it to them as if it’s not yours. 

Disassociate yourself from your product when receiving feedback. Don’t take what they say personally. Take it as important information to better your services. You’re going to have to ask people for feedback, that’s the only way you get better. 

You’re going to have to train yourself. Having someone tell you your baby is ugly is tough. You can’t think about that way. You’re making your product better! It should ultimately make you better at what you do and help you sell more products in he long-term. 

You’re going to need feedback to advance your offerings, improve your skills, or figure out if you’re on the right track. 

Be more aware when  you feel yourself getting upset when you hear feedback. Make a conscious effort to remind yourself this is so important for my future. Their feedback will make me better and happier. Think end result instead of getting all pissy and being resenting the person. 

Don’t take it personally, you’re offerings will suck at first. Receive feedback and put the changes into action. To make your product or yourself better you need feedback. It helps show the flaws in you or your product.
