It’s fun to look at your facebook and divide your so-called friends into people who applaud you, and those who are going to laugh at you.

And that reminds me Céline Dion. I remember when she was young, lots of peuple were laughing at her. I think she was lucky enough to have Rene Angélil to protect her from the sarcasm. do I need to say who’s laughing now?

I knew my fear of someone trying to make a public ass of me was a reasonable and realistic fear, so I came up with ways to express my determination not to be thwarted. My business is young enough that so far I haven’t had to face anyone offline, and yes I’m scared but I know I can take it, now. Your post makes me feel less paranoid, and definitely glad I took these steps. I’ll be venturing into more public venues in 2011 and I’m going need my resolve.

I loved it when this girl laughed at the name “Financial Samurai” when I first started it. IT gave me so much motivation to prove her wrong. I love rejection, and that’s why I wrote “You’re Rejected! How I Use Rejection To Motivate Me Every Single Day!”

My partner and I are literally just starting out our joint venture. I spent years giving my services away for free until I was recently convinced that I should monetize them. Your post was amazing for two reasons:
1. It was good for me to hear from someone I didn’t know and
2. It was the push my wife needed to embrace her photography.

Thanks for your post and would love to have the opportunity to ask you additional questions.

P.S. The manifesto was great!

Hi Erica, I like your blog even though I would love to read more posts !
I’m a shy person, and I suffered a lot from people laughing at me in my childhood. Today, I try not to think about what people may think, in particular people who don’t know me. Why care about the opinion of someone who doesn’t know who you are, and why you do the things that you do ? I juste care about what people I love think. It allows me to be myself more.

thanks for the inspiration! I'm considering of venturing out on my own one day, and people laughing at me is one of my fears. Your post really help put it all in perspective though. MissMentor

I think one good way to get past all the “head junk” that can slow you down is to hook up with a mentor or “mastermind” group. When the doubters start to get into your head, you can have a chat with your mentor or biz support group and they can put you back on track.

I think the good question, in light of this post, is to ask yourself, “How many people in my life are laughing at me?” If there aren’t any, be worried!
