(This Episode’s Main Points)
Don't worry, it gets better. Here's the way I handle it (and I've gotten plenty, plenty of 3 and below, ;))
Approach it with a growth mindset: learn from it and make your products so good buyers can't ignore you (ask yourself what you would want in the product and then go above and beyond that).
One bad review will not sink your shop and the positive reviews on the new and improved version will more than balance out the negative one (this has happened for me many, many times, our products improve along with ourselves).
“You can't please everyone, and in trying to, you'll please no one, especially yourself”. I don’t remember who said that, but it is POWERFUL. Some of my greatest, best-selling products have a few 1-2 star reviews. Keep in mind that if you search Beethoven's symphonies on YouTube, many have thumbs down! Now, I am in no way comparing myself to the genius of Beethoven, I’m trying to say that if he gets hated on, us ‘normies’ should expect it, too :) and this brings me to my next point …
Be open to constructive criticism so we can learn and improve but don’t worry about the people that don’t like you/your product/service/whatever, you’re not looking for them; you’re looking for the people that are the same wavelength you are; YOUR TRIBE! :)
You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great." -Zig Ziglar. I tell myself this every time I've felt like giving up.
I hope this helps, feel free to reach out to me on social media anytime. I LOVE talking shop!
P.S.
We promise not to waste your time. You may have noticed that we sometimes have interviews and sometimes not.
We don’t want to have interviews just for the sake of having them but only when they are relevant and provide value to you, our friends and listeners!
Let’s show these awesome Instagram accounts some love!
@teachersconnect - They foster a sense of community for teachers by connecting teachers to support each other while posting some funny and some inspirational posts, as well. One I particularly liked was a picture that quotes Jane Nelson in saying: “Children will listen after they feel listened to.”
@myelajourney2018- This is her 3rd year teaching, she’s based in Houston, TX, she’s very positive and passionate about improving her craft as a teacher. Follow her; her energy is contagious!

(Summary)
Maybe a teacher is
A weather
A fighter
A model for failure
A magician
A gardener
A model for kindness
A model for not holding grudge from one day to the other
A model for saying I’m sorry even though it means an adult apologizing to a kid
A person who the students can count on at least for that class period
A person who treats the student as an individual no matter what the other teachers and staff
have said about him or her
The only positive adult that student sees that day
The only one that believes in that student
The catalyst that sparks a lifelong learner
Quotes for today:
“Education is not the filling of a pot but the lighting of a fire.” –W.B. Yeats
“A teacher affects eternity; he [or she] can never tell where his influence stops.” —Henry B. Adams
